“We had such a great experience! They were so kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about Jasper while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Jasper had an amazing time and came home happy and well loved. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”
“Jessica was phenomenal. From our meet and greet to pick up, everything was great. She was caring and took the best care of our Chocolate lab. We will definitely be seeing her again.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Maddie took exceptional care of our furbabies for a week while we were on vacation. Communication was 10/10 Highly recommend. Our babies were not stressed at all when we picked the up. Thank you Maddie for taking care such great care of them.”
“Look no further than this! The place is beautiful. The humans love and get your canine. Not only are they professional with meet and greet, observation updates and photos, they truly engage with their fur guests. Highly recommend for extended periods. We were most at ease.”
“Always a pleasure, our dog absolutely loves to stay with Cassandra and her family! I know she is happy and well taken care of and that allows me to relax while traveling.”
“Ashley was flexible with drop off/pickup time frames and communicated quickly. I’m always anxious leaving my pup behind but felt comfortable and confident leaving her in Ashley’s care. I would have preferred more pics during the stay but I understand sometimes it could be forgotten.”
“April was amazing! We liked her the first time we met her! Bandit was treated so well! Bandit is an older dog and had some issues while he stayed with her! She handled them like a champ! She also gave him his medications! We would highly recommend April to anyone that needs pet care! 🐾”
“Reah is awesome! Our boy loves hanging out with her and her family. She sends pictures and keeps us updated. We couldn’t be more pleased and will be using her services again for sure!”
“Kelley was very patient and caring with my two cats. It was a long stay and they were very shy at the start. She kept them safe and took care of their needs. She gave good updates on their progress and eventually gained their trust for some good pictures and belly rubs. I would recommend Kelley for boarding your pets. She does a great job!”
“I’m so happy we found Leeann! She was available short notice & spoiled our Bonnie girl all week long. It was clear from the moment we met, Leeann is an animal lover and always puts their needs first. Her property is beautiful, clean and perfect for dogs. I would recommend her to all my family & friends. Thank you again, Leeann!”
About: Hello! Thanks for checking in! I would be glad to help care for your furry family member 🐶❤️🐈. A little about me--I have had a love for animals since I was young, and I find that I have always felt most at home surrounded by our furry, four-footed family over the years. We have had animals all my life, and we have raised several breeds of dogs including Dalmatian, Cocker Spaniel, Blue and Red Heelers, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Boxer, Standard Poodles, Great Pyranees, and many more loveable mixed breeds. I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was 5 years old. They were always like family to me, and I have many years of experience of their care and basic command training for puppies using positive reinforcement. I have experience caring for sick and senior dogs as well as every canine that has come into our family has found their forever home and lived out their fullest lives possible. If your pup needs some freshening up, a haircut, or a pedicure, I can help with that. I am a professional pet stylist and member of the NDGAA. I have continued education through NDGAA workshops and worked full-time at a pet salon for a few years while also grooming my own dogs, Standard Poodles, their whole lives (14 years.) I can bathe or groom your dog or trim their nails if needed. I currently work part-time, and I have quite a bit of extra time to care for your pups and kitties. Wednesdays and Sundays are our busiest days, so I will not be able to offer pickup on those days, but the other days are open. I have a fenced yard, and I will leash your dog on walks for extra care. They are free to be downstairs in my home with me and our family, and I will kennel for their safety when and if we leave the home for short errands. For pet care in their home, I can take on walks, let outside into fenced yard, feed, water, and bathe/groom the dogs or trim nails if needed. I also have trained several puppies basic commands using clicker-training and positive reinforcement.
“Our dog who is very picky about new people was so well taken care of that he didn’t want to come back with us! He enjoyed his vacation so much and we will definitely call Danita when we are in the area again!”
About: Pet care in our home is truly a calling for me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for animals, and I humbly believe God has given me a special gift for working with them. I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.
“Kristi was wonderful with our pup ! She took Maggie in last minute but made the whole process so smooth. Maggie must of played super hard with Kristi’s pups because she came back so happy and tired. Thank you for the sweet note in Maggie’s bag . We will definitely use Kristi again”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and now have a dog of my own. I have walked and dog sat for different family members and friends. My dog is very friendly and loves making new friends! I currently work full time, but have plenty of time in the afternoons and weekends to take care of your pets. I also have the opportunity to work from home a few days a month to allow for extra time and/or boarding during the week! I will treat your animals as if they were my own! Visits usually consist of potty breaks, feedings, lots of play time, and any other special requests.

“Kim and her daughter took excellent care of our sweet cat named Alice. They visited her daily, rain or shine. Alice is very social and loves attention. They gave her plenty of petting, freshen her bowls of water, refilled dry food, gave wet food, and treats. They also scooped her litter box daily. Alice was happy to have their attention and she was very well cared for during our 4 night absence. I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter.”
“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
“Cody and Rachel saved my sanity! My usual Rover got sick and I contacted them at the last minute to cover. They did an excellent job!! It was comforting knowing that my fur babies were safe while I was out of town. Thank you! Thank you!”
“Delaney, you were amazing!! Harold is shy and actually came up to you and you got great photos! Which says a lot about your warm energy:) Thank you again! I will definefitely request you in the future:) Lori”

“Going forward we’ll be leaving our dog with Danita when we come to the Smoky Mountains. It was as if our pup was spending another day in our home while we were away. Yesterday she was nervous about entering the house, but was more relaxed about it today and spent the day napping with other dogs on a rug on hardwood rather than a dank kennel with a bare concrete floor. Danita worked with us on scheduling and provided updates about how things were going with pics. Overall it was a positive experience and was much better than daycare at a vet.”
“Maddie was so wonderful with my little puppy! She kept me updated all day and provided pictures of his activities. She was very insightful regarding new puppy care and training and was nice enough to answer all the questions I had as a new puppy mom with lots of anxiety! Would highly recommend!”
“First time we’ve used Rover and it turned out great!! We got pictures of our pups while we were gone for the day and I think they had a great time! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”
About: Caring for animals has been a constant joy in my life since childhood, and I bring over 25 years of experience as both a pet owner and sitter. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with oral and injectable medications, and able to accommodate pets with special diets or unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies who need training and patience, as well as senior pets who require extra gentleness and support. What sets me apart is the home and environment I provide— Our little farm offers space to explore, a secure fenced yard for safe play, and the love of my entire family. With three children who adore animals, every pet gets an abundance of cuddles, companionship, and supervision. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. As a stay-at-home mom, I spend about 80% of my time at home. This allows me to give pets consistent love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My three children, who are all animal lovers, also enjoy providing extra playtime and cuddles, making sure your pet always feels included and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a 2-acres with a secure fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash play and exploration. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are treated like part of our family. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, experienced in administering medications, and happy to accommodate special diets or crate training if preferred. Our home is filled with love, supervision, and plenty of cozy spots for relaxation so your pet feels secure and happy.
“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”
“I highly recommend Kristi for your babies needs. Being new to the area and having a new puppy is exciting and scary. Trusting someone with your baby is hard. She was so comforting to me and gave me regular updates. This was the first time I left Chandler with anyone. She has 2 dogs herself and Frankie is the same breed as Chandler. Dachshunds needs special care and she even had ramps to accommodate their backs. I will definitely use Kristi again.❤️💙🩷”
“Reah and her husband are so great! They take wonderful care of my pup, Kida. Kida is always relaxed and happy when I come to get her. They have taken her for walks and they are forgiving of my work schedule. I’m so happy to find good people to take care of my pup! Thanks Reah!”
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.
About: Hi there, I'm Tiffany! I loooove all fur babies..pups, kitties, ferets...you name it! My senior dog (Rambler) recently passed away, so it’s just me And on any given day, I have random furry guests over to keep me company. The more the merrier :) I have a pretty flexible work schedule, so I'm at home the majority of most days. I have a great space for animals at my home with the inside being tidied up and animal friendly. I’ve been dog sitting/house sitting for people for years and have many wonderful references upon request. I love all ages, sizes, and personalities! My boy that just passed away was paraplegic so I have a lot of experience with special needs babies.(doggie wheelchairs, bladder expression, medication, etc.) I am currently working from home part time so have plenty of free time to keep the animals company. May have to leave to run errands but would return very shortly if so. My main goal is to help your pups feel safe and comfortable while you are away whether that be at my home or at yours.
“Our boy's stay with Tabatha was just what the doctor ordered. Brinkley needed a play date and some serious socialization. He had three friends to play with, a couple of small kids and a lot if acreage to do it in. We got a much needed day off free from worry or stress about our boy. Tabatha even offered to give him food from her private stores when we decided to stay out later than we had originally planned. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have had a dog as a family pet for my entire life, and I've personally taken care of family friends' pets since I was a preteen as well, so you could say I know my way around the species pretty well and I know that great pet owners mean they are treated as a member of the family. I will be communicative, respectful, and flexible with the owners and a caring new friend for the furry family member who's been left behind. I'm a teacher on holiday, so my first priority this summer is your pet, and I will absolutely ensure he or she is very well taken care of. Thank you in advance for your consideration, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet!

“Natalie has been walking my dog regularly for the past several months and does a great job. My dog loves her, and she always leaves notes and pictures on the Rover card to update me on his walks. I would highly recommend booking Natalie for any Rover service!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all shapes, breeds and sizes! I’ve also taken care of a plethora of other animals. I’m comfortable bathing, dogs, and the occasional cat. I’m currently in school online and am raising a toddler alongside my husband and family on the same property. I also have 2 dogs, 2 horses and a bunch of other little critters I take care of daily. We don’t have a super set schedule, but things always get done. Although, if I’m given a schedule I will follow it to a T! I can do whatever you/your pet is comfortable with, apart from off leash walks, because I cannot be held responsible for a dog not recalling. But whether that be crating while leaving them, taking them outside in a fenced yard, or taking them on leashed walks varying in length, I am ready to car for your pet!
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”
About: We have cared for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. We do have experience in medication administration for animals. We are excited to serve you and your fur-family! My wife and I work full-time jobs but are available before and after work as well as during the lunch hour to ensure your dogs and/or cats are fed and taken care of!

“We could not have dreamed of a better place for Reese to stay while we traveled! From our initial Meet and Greet, we could see that Reese already had made good friends. We received daily updates on how our girl was doing, along with photos and videos, giving us peace of mind, knowing she was having the best time in a great home!”
“Anyone with a 2-year old English Lab knows they can be a lot of energy to take watch. But Emma and Alex Did so with ease. They took our boy in and cared for him like their own, even when it meant getting up with our spoiled little guy several times his first night away from home. The pictures, videos and updates were very appreciated, and we can’t say enough good things about the care Sully received while we were away. Thank you Both!!”
