Pet Sitting South Knoxville

About: I have experience with animals of all ages, energy levels, and size! I’m patient, reliable, and knowledgeable in basic obedience and pet first aid, ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and understood. I am a junior at the University of Tennessee and I have frequent breaks in between classes. I am able to provide services throughout the day as well as over weekends. I value a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel at home. In my care, dogs enjoy regular walks, playtime, cuddles, and a consistent feeding routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule closely—keeping mealtime, walks, and routines familiar to reduce stress. I also keep homes tidy, send regular updates, and make sure every pet feels secure, happy, and well-loved.

“Addison was amazing! She came to meet Reggie before the job and let him get to know her. She is an excellent communicator and sent videos and pics. She was also flexible with our crazy schedule. Highly recommend her!”

Kim M.

“Elaina communicated well both before and during the booking and arrived at the time discussed. She gave our dogs a needed break in their day and sent me an adorable picture while they were outside playing. I could tell they were happy!”

Julie C.

“Thanks for providing reassurance the babies were well cared for and sassy. Will absolutely use again.”

Niki M.

“Stephanie was great, all my animals loved her- even my pit-bull mastiff who can be weird with people took to her right away. And I have a very shy cat who hides and comes out for no one, but she came out of hiding for Stephanie, which says a lot. I was able to enjoy my trip out of town and not worry about them. She sent updates and pictures and I hope to have her drop in again when I need it. She's very likable, has good energy, is trustworthy, and was on time every time. Highly recommend.”

Grey K.

“She was great with our dog! Really went the extra mile when dog sitting. Took the dog out for walks and shared pictures when taking care of the dog!”

Caitlyn U.

“Lucia was wonderful with our Arlo! I was new to Rover so she was so sweet walking me through the process. Her updates each visit were thorough and great and our dog looked so happy in the photos! Will definitely be using her to pop in on our dog for future trips!”

Purvis F.

“Anna was amazing! I got consistent updates from her and she was super flexible when there were problems with my apartment, taking my dog to her house so that she would be provided for! Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.

“Gretchen is the BEST!!! I know that when I leave, she will always take excellent care of my cat! He absolutely loves her and he doesn’t love just anyone. 10/10. Will always book with Gretchen!!”

“Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!”

Lisa H.

“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”

Victoria A.

“Rebecca is very knowledgeable and thoughtful. She is great with Rocket, and he loves her! I highly recommend her!”

Laurel B.

“Crystal was so great! She took care of my senior and handicap dogs so well and I knew they were receiving such great love and care. I really appreciated the pictures she sent every visit. I will keep those forever.”

Jessica T.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allison was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was away! From the start, she was communicative, friendly, and clearly cares deeply about animals. She followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept his water fresh, and even spent time playing with him (which he loved — she quickly figured out his favorite toys!). She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. It’s clear she treats pets like her own, and I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained. I’ll absolutely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.”

Kent G.

“Caroline did great in taking care of my baby by giving her lots of play time and loves. Sent me lots of pictures and kept me well updated. Will use her again in the future!”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.

About: Hi! With 7 years of experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages, I provide a safe and fun environment for your furry friends during your get away. Please reach out with your questions As a current dental student, I wake up early and can get your furry friends outside for a walk. I come home for lunch everyday at 12 and let them get some steps in. I’m back home for the night around 5pm and spend the rest of the night with them I have an accessible, pet-friendly apartment with no other animals. I can walk them around for all the sniffs and secure them back in my unit.

“Taylor is the best to my two cats, Kit and Rip! The pictures and visit cards are always detailed and really appreciated when I’m out of town I know they are well taken care of :)”

“Izzy was absolutely great! We traveled for a week and my dog had a seizure towards the end of the week and she was there for him and really supported him and did everything above and beyond what was expected. She’s great!”
