“Shawna is very respectful and reliable. She has kept our Cash twice now and I can't begin to express how grateful we are to have found her. I will continue to use her to care for him when we are away. She takes such good care of him and I love getting the pictures and videos from her. If you need care for your fur babies, I highly recommend her.”
“Renee did a wonderful job. She kept me informed on how Leo was doing. She sent me pictures. She responded as soon as I text her. I could tell that he was being loved and that he was doing fine. I would use her again in a heartbeat. She was wonderful”
“Elizabeth was so amazing she took my request at the last minute literally 7 am in the morning she sent pictures of my baby girl she comminucated abd was overall a great experience with my fur baby thank you Elizabeth cant wait to book you again”
“Their family was very friendly and treated Max like he was theirs. The pictures they sent told us that Max felt right at home. Max really liked it there and that meant a lot to us. When we go back to Gatlinburg we will definitely leave Max with them. Ryan H. and family thank you so much for taking care of our baby.”
“We had Jeff and Shirley care for Mimi while we went on a cruise. It was important to us that she stayed in a home that included her as part of their family. Jeff and Shirley were wonderful and Mimi was right at home!!!! Although she was happy to see us when we came home, I think she missed Buddy, Jeff and Shirley's dog. I knew right from our meet and greet that Mimi would enjoy her stay and we would definitely recommend Jeff and Shirley to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!! Mimi is looking forward to her next visit in September ”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience! Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Megan and her family! We booked Marshall’s stay on the very same day, and from the beginning, Megan was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and attentive. She and her husband took excellent care of Marshall, and it was clear that he was in great hands. He came back happy, relaxed, and perfectly cared for, which meant everything to us! What truly stood out was Megan’s thoughtfulness and flexibility. She even offered to meet us at a more convenient location for pickup, allowing us to save time and enjoy more precious moments with our family during our vacation. That extra effort meant so much to us! Megan and her husband went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would recommend them a thousand times over! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely attentive to your pet, look no further. Thank you, Megan and family, for treating Marshall so wonderfully! We would absolutely book with you again!”

About: I have been boarding dogs in my home and providing in-home dog sitting for several years. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re in my care. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, love, and one-on-one care. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s routine and preferences to make their dog’s stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾💕 I’m a Gatlinburg Events Manager, so my schedule is busiest during daytime event hours. I’m typically available any day after 5:00 PM, making me a great fit for evening drop-ins, walks, overnight care, and last-minute dinner or evening plans. I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in your home, depending on what helps your pet feel most comfortable. I live in White Pine, Tennessee, and am available for house sitting throughout Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and surrounding areas. I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and keep you updated while you’re away. My home is in White Pine although I do travel to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Mon-Fri and can Every pet is different, so I always do my best to follow their owner's routine and preferences. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet's schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection while maintaining the routines they're familiar with. I understand that leaving a pet with someone else requires trust, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
About: Ever since I was a little girl and my dad surprised me with my first dog, I fell in love with animals. We shared a very special bond and were best buddies. My husband and I shared a very similar bond with our first adopted pup. We used clicker training for basic tricks and behaviors. She was our first baby and went everywhere with us until she sadly passed. Since having kiddos and moving to Tennessee, our focus is now on providing help to other families with pets and loving them like our own. I stay home full-time and homeschool two kiddos, so I am able to provide care during the day for your pup and do drop-ins/ walks! Dogs must be comfortable and safe around kiddos. They will be loved by our entire family. We hope you’ll consider us to help you have peace of mind and quality care for your pups. I am a homeschooling mom of two girls (almost 8 and 11 years old) and we are home most days of the week. I’m available to come check up on your pups and/or take them for walks when needed due to my flexible schedule. I can provide any necessary check in care and walks at your home and in your neighborhood. My girls would love to come for a walk with me and love on your sweet pups if possible.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
100% of sitters in Thorn Hill can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thorn Hill home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Thorn Hill.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Thorn Hill sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
