“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day. They treated him like family, sent updates, which confirmed that our fur baby was in the best hands possible while we attended a wedding in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a day, night, week or longer care. She is truly a dog lover. Thank you Cassy!!”
“Ann was great, she has excellent accommodations for my furbabies. Ann is exceptionally great at communicating updates throughout the stay while our two children were in her care.”
“My sweet girl loves coming here. She was so excited when we pulled up! She was ready to go inside and play! She did not act like that when I took her to a traditional boarding place. So grateful for Ryan and his family. They also stay in great contact so I never have to worry about what Annie is doing. Always my first choice!”
About: I love fur babies and would rather be surrounded by fur babies then people.I definitely have always felt like I have a connection with fur babies I am currently working for myself so I have plenty of time for fur babies. I would be around all the time to keep a close eye on your fur babies so they remain safe. I definitely would be one on one so they would not be unattended I definitely would be watching the fur babies very closely. To keep them safe.
“This was my first time ever having my dog attend a boarding home. However, Telecia, made the process very comfortable for me. She sent pictures and texted me regularly while on vacatio to make sure that I wad connected to Sable while being so far. I truly recommend her for dog boarding services, and I will definitely use her again. Thank you again”
“Shawna, has done an excellent job with my two Shih Tzu poodles. She has had them longer than expected and accommodated me through a major surgery that had some hiccups. Her attention to detail with your dog is outstanding. She is an hour and a half for me and his well worth the drive for me to leave them there because I know they’re taking care of. She sends plenty of pictures so you’ll know how much fun your dog is actually really having with her.”
“Kristy was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog for two nights and sent a lot of pictures. Very smooth process, great communication, and a great environment for my dog to hang out in. Highly recommend and have already booked another stay!”
“We were very happy with our experience leaving our girl with Viviana and Brian. We received numerous pictures of her daily and it was obvious she was a happy, well cared for girl. Viviana is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. We have already booked Brooklyn’s next stay with them!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“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!!!”
“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“Elizabeth has always been great and very accommodating! Her family has been a great place for us to leave our dog Lexi. We have left our dog there multiple times and will definitely again when we are back in the area.”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“I highly recommend taking your dog to Emily. She took good care of my dog and kept me updated on how he’s been and sent me pictures of him throughout the time he spent with her.”
“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
“Sandra was great with communication and pics of Lola during her stay! She made me feel very comfortable leaving for my trip and I knew my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kat was more than amazing! We left our pup with her for 10 days and she not only took amazing care but also documented all of her food intake and stool health. Constantly took pictures! I’m sure this will not be the last time we leave our pup with Kat. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter!”

“Rachel was great with our cat Skippy! He’s a little high maintenance but she was a total pro. This was our first time using rover and we were nervous but Rachel came over for a pre visit and after talking with her we knew Skippy was in great hands. Will be booking with her in the future!”
“Cara is great! She watched after my skittish cat for two weeks while I was away, as well as kept my garden green. She's kind and a great communicator. I'll definitely look to her again in the future when I'm out of town!”
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
“She was so great to our 3mo pup who had to come on vacation because she’s still too young for boarding. She was easy to communicate with, came to our cabin, and was very kind to our babe.”
“Tasha was wonderful! It was such a blessing to leave town and know our kitties were well taken care of! She gave great communication and updates, even turned our faucet on a drip because it was supposed to get cold overnight! She is great!”
“Leslie agreed to meet the dogs before her first visit and is very understanding of their different needs. She gave them more time to play than I expected and was patient with my fearful dog. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was little and I have volunteered with many animal shelters with walking dogs, feeding, and grooming for example. I do work full time so I can take your pet for walks on weekends and holidays from 6 am to 2 pm mostly on Saturdays and Sundays I will take your pet for potty breaks, walks, or just to stop in and love on them. If you have a cat I can always scoop the litter box or refill water
“Amazing! Thank you so much for the care and love you gave Apollo. Especially while he is not feeling his best right now. Your pet is in good hands with Christianna. She was prompt to respond (last minute booking) and sent pics and loved on our sweet boy. She gave him meds and cared for his ear that he has just had surgery on. She is the best!!!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for and grooming cats through my pet care background and business experience. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box care, grooming needs, medications if needed, and overall behavior changes, and I always keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: When caring for cats, I pay close attention to their dietary needs, making sure each meal is served according to their specific preferences and any dietary restrictions. I am skilled at administering medications, including pills and liquid treatments, handling even the most finicky felines with gentleness and patience. Playtime is an essential part of my routine, using interactive toys and games to stimulate their minds and keep them active. Additionally, I maintain a clean and hygienic environment by regularly scooping and refreshing litter boxes, ensuring a comfortable space for every cat in my care.
“My pet has a terminal cancer and is an original smelly cat. Storm took good care of her and my two other cats. The house was in order on my return and my sick cat got dosed on schedule. I am thrilled with her service.”
“Elianna was great and welcomed my kitties into her home, even at the last minute! The kitties were happy and well cared for , she sent frequent updates by text and I was totally comfortable on my vacation with no worries about my kitties!”
“Jen is absolutely the BEST pet sitter ever!! She treated my kitties like royalty! She sent pictures every day and spoiled them rotten. Our cats barely noticed we were gone. We had great peace of mind knowing they were getting spoiled rotten by a person who genuinely loves pets. You can't go wrong with Jen!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets throughout my life and often helped friends with theirs as well. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I truly love spending time with them. I’d be honored to give your pet the same love and care I give my own, and I hope to be the one you trust with your best friend! I am currently unemployed so I am almost always available. I have a dog of my own that I will have to go home and see sometimes if I am house sitting. Just give me a message and we can discuss details and figure out what works best for both of us. At my home, pets are treated like part of the family with lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. I do my best to keep their routine close to what they’re used to so they feel comfortable and happy. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or just extra belly rubs to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. I love all animals and have experience with caring for multiple animals at once. I have a dog of my own and he loves other animals both cats and dogs and is very friendly. I can provide: • daily walks • dog park visits • playtime • meals • potty breaks I have trained my own dogs since puppy age. If training is needed please let me know. I have experience in giving medication if it is needed as well. I work full time in office. I do have decent flexibility with work and am able to come home for potty breaks. I usually can take a long lunch to at least walk my own dog for some time before returning, so there is no issue exercising the dog mid day. I do not have a fenced in yard, but there is a dog park and plenty of neighborhoods to walk dogs around. There are many dog parks close by. The home is clean and we keep things out of reach of pets. If at any point I leave the apartment all doors to extra rooms are shut and I turn on some music or tv for some background noise while away.
“Haley took such good care of my babies. She even came over before to meet them with me there & I felt 100% safe leaving them in her care. Will definitely reach back out in the future!! Thank you Haley!! ?”

Currently, I'm entering my fourth year of a BSc in Animal Science, where I've gained extensive knowledge about animal behavior, health, and welfare. Furthermore, my passion for animals is not just a hobby but a career focus.

Keeping our four-legged friends comfortable and in their own environment/routine is most important to me.

“Shyann was so kind and patient with me as the owner and absolutely doted on Charlie. She sent me multiple updates and photos through the day so I knew Charlie was having as much fun away from me as possible. I felt so safe leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“I had a church event to attend, but my plans for my dog Gibbs didn't work out. I reached out to Ryan for last-minute daycare, and he responded within 15 minutes saying he could take care of him for the day. I dropped Gibbs off and felt very at ease knowing he was with Ryan. Throughout the day, I received seven updates and pictures showing how Gibbs was doing. When I picked him up, he seemed happy and had been well looked after. I'm planning to drop Gibbs off again in two days. This is the second occasion that Ryan and his family have taken care of my dog, Gibbs. When I got there to drop him off, Ryan came out to greet him, and Gibbs was thrilled to see him. Throughout the day, I received both pictures and a video showing the fun he was having with the family's dogs. I believe that Gibbs really enjoys his time with Ryan and his family. He always seems joyful when I come to pick him up. I can easily tell he has had an exciting day since he sleeps very soundly at night.”
“Callie had a great day at Wendy’s. She was awesome about sending updates throughout the day. We knew Callie was in good hands. She got lots of walks and belly rubs. We would definitely book with Wendy again. Thank you, Wendy, for giving us peace of mind and for giving our dog such a happy, loving place to spend the day.”
“Emily was able to help us out a few times when we moved to town and we didn’t want to leave our pup alone in a new house. She took him on several walks and even to the dog park, both which Farley loves to do. We really appreciate her taking him into her home and taking such good care of him.”
“took great care of my dog and was easy to communicate with, even when I didn't have service often in the national park. Provided photo updates and was willing to meet me to drop off my dog along my route. 100% reccomend”
“Wow! What a great person and dog lover. We never felt more comfortable with someone so quickly as Tracey. We felt that Lulu was in great hands, and we were right. Responsive, a caring attitude and attention to details We highly recommend Tracey. Thank you from Mike, Marybeth and Lulu”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, many different breeds. My life would not be complete without at least one dog in it! I currently have an Aussiedoodle named Macy. She is five and would love to have a playmate or two. I can only take dogs that get along well with other dogs! I have raised puppies, so I know the extra care required. I nurtured my Jack Russel for 16 years and did everything it took to get her to Rainbow Bridge in the most dignified manner. I can give meds and will do whatever your pet needs as far as special care. I work from home part time, so I have plenty of time to pay attention to your fur baby! My home has a large open family room for an indoor play area, and I have an enclosed porch and fenced in back yard. You can expect that your fur baby will be loved like my own, will get frequent potty breaks, and will get walks in the neighborhood or at the local dog park (with your permission). Your pet's safety is my top priority. I will take only one family's dogs (up to two) at a time so that there are no "top dog" issues. My Macy gets along with any dog and will be super excited to share her rather boring day with your fur baby. I will only take dogs that have ZERO issues with other dogs, as Macy must be safe as well!!
“Caitlin and her family took excellent care of our girl. We were nervous to leave her with someone we didn’t know for the first time, but Caitlin sent plenty of updates throughout the day and even took Dixie out hiking. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Sarah is amazing. We were in town for a weekend and wanted to go to Dollywood for the day without our pup. Sarah was super accommodating, easy to communicate with, clearly loves dogs and my dog came home super tired from a day of playing. Would highly recommend Sarah to everyone!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every age since 14 years old. I have experience working for professional boarding services as well as for friends and family.

I can be there whenever your dog needs. I live in a house with my girlfriend who also works remotely and loves animals. I care about providing a healthy, safe, and enjoyable environment for your pet to stay in. They'll always be treated like family.
“Zach was great! He watched Sadie during the day for 2 days while we hiked. Dogs just sense things and I felt confident when she was wagging her tail when she walking in. And she was happy to be left there the next morning. Wish he lived in Iowa so I could have him care for Sadie more often. Thanks Zach your the best!”

“Emmy was great!. We went to Cincinnati for a baseball game. Cotton can be alone for a long time, but we knew it would be a 12 hour day. Emmy came to take Cotton on a long walk. Cotton got some company and a potty break. Then a big nap. Emmy even sent some pics of Cotton on the walk. Thanks!”
“Cara took great care of our pups while we visited Gatlinburg during the week of Christmas. She even left us a wonderful Christmas card with pictures of our pups printed out. It was a wonderful touch!”
About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.

“Rachel was awesome! Kept me informed through the whole process by letting me know when she was on the way, sent pictures during the walk, let me know when she got back, and that my house was locked up when she left. It was so nice having that piece of mind while I was at work. I definitely recommend her. Thank you Rachel!”
“Sydney did a great job of taking care of my pup, Mickey, while we were on vacation in Sevierville, May 8 -13, 2026. Sydney was good with Mickey and very reliable.

I hope Sydney's available again next year!”

Your dog will receive: ✅ personalized attention ✅ PAWsitive reinforcement (pets and treats; please let me know if your dog has any known allergies or sensitivities) ✅ regular exercise and potty breaks ✅ plenty of snuggles ============================== Whether you need daily visits, boarding, or extended care, I'm committed to giving your furry family member the same love and care that I would give to my own. I can send you updates and photos. Understanding the demands of your busy lifestyle/vacation, I offer easy drop-off and pick-up options that can conveniently align with your work or travel schedule (depending on how close you are, price is negotiable). From bouncy, rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors, I've got the expertise and heart to deliver personalized care that meets the unique needs of every furry friend, no matter their age or stage. ============================== Accidents happen, but damages or extra cleaning due to undisclosed habits may incur a fee. Let's chat about how I can help care for your loyal companion! *** Important note: If your dog marks inside, I consider them not fully potty trained. I strive to work with well-trained dogs to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all. Of course, I’m aware that puppies are still a work in progress. If your dog marks inside, they will be wearing a belly band during their stay with me. For each belly band they go through, there will be a $10 charge added for cleaning. *** ============================== I live on the border of Sevierville and Seymour. My neighborhood is peaceful. My secure backyard is doggy paradise! With plenty of space and grass to run around, play, explore, and do their business, I supervise closely to ensure all dogs have a blast together - and intervene if any furry friends need a break. My dogs and my clients’ dogs are never left outside unsupervised. I like to go on walks and would love to have a companion if that’s something your dog enjoys 🦮. I don’t have children so if your dog is uncomfortable around little people, no worries, none are here. ==============================
About: I have experience with all different types of pets and have paid experience the past six years. I will make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels happy and loved while you’re away. During sits my wife tends to join me. She’s also very experienced with animals and has farm and exotic animal experience. If this is something you are not comfortable with, I am happy to adjust this. I am taking some time to start my own business with my wife. So there’s plenty of time and attention to go around. Most of my work can be scheduled around Rover. If I am housesitting however I may have to leave for a few hours at a time but usually no longer than 3 or 4 so that your pet gets the maximum amount of attention possible. Safety is always a top priority and your pups will always be kept on the same type of schedule they have when they are with you to ensure they aren’t thrown off their routine when you return.
“Jennifer Grace was amazing! Everything from the initial communication and booking to meeting ahead of time to the actual dog sitting with A+. She’s very accommodating, flexible, and personable. The pups loved her. Thank you!”
About: I have always been an avid animal lover. I’ve owned dogs big and small all throughout my life. I began dog walking when I was 12 years old, as well as pet sitting. When I was 14 I got a job at an animal shelter, there I worked with a large variety of animals from small animals, to cats, dogs, horses etc. When I was 16 years old I took two years of an animal science class in high school. With these two years I was able to become a certified vet assistant. I had that job until I moved here to Tennessee. I am cpr certified for dogs of all sizes, I also have been trained in basic grooming so I can assist in bathing your dog, clipping their nails, etc. I have complete open availability and can work around your schedule and what you feel is best for your pet. In September I will start college so my availability will change slightly. I love playing with pets with their toys, wether it’s throwing a ball or playing with a cat wand toys etc. I believe it’s super important to read the signals the pets are giving you wether they want to be left alone, want pets, or want to play.

“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day. They treated him like family, sent updates, which confirmed that our fur baby was in the best hands possible while we attended a wedding in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a day, night, week or longer care. She is truly a dog lover. Thank you Cassy!!”
“Ann was great, she has excellent accommodations for my furbabies. Ann is exceptionally great at communicating updates throughout the stay while our two children were in her care.”

I definitely would be one on one so they would not be unattended I definitely would be watching the fur babies very closely. To keep them safe.
“This was my first time ever having my dog attend a boarding home. However, Telecia, made the process very comfortable for me. She sent pictures and texted me regularly while on vacatio to make sure that I wad connected to Sable while being so far. I truly recommend her for dog boarding services, and I will definitely use her again. Thank you again”
“Kristy was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog for two nights and sent a lot of pictures. Very smooth process, great communication, and a great environment for my dog to hang out in. Highly recommend and have already booked another stay!”
“We were very happy with our experience leaving our girl with Viviana and Brian. We received numerous pictures of her daily and it was obvious she was a happy, well cared for girl. Viviana is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. We have already booked Brooklyn’s next stay with them!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“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!!!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“Lauryn provides excellent care for Charli! I especially appreciate the updates and pictures she sends, which always give me peace of mind while I’m away. She is reliable, caring, and truly treats Charli like family. Lauryn also goes above and beyond to accommodate travel plans and scheduling needs, which I greatly appreciate. I always know Charli is safe, happy, and well cared for when she’s with Lauryn. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Very responsive and proactive with sending pictures/walking Stanley to give us peace of mind. Very thankful and appreciative of Joseph’s help. Our dog seemed very comfortable and happy with his care!”
“Shawna kept me updated with pictures and videos of how my dog was doing and it was very assuring to see him happy, playing with her dogs, and obviously well taken care of. He adjusted right into her home. Overall great experience and great communication. I have already booked my next stay!”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“I highly recommend taking your dog to Emily. She took good care of my dog and kept me updated on how he’s been and sent me pictures of him throughout the time he spent with her.”
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.
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
