“Ann was amazing! She was able to watch zeus super last minute so my family and i could go on a mini vacation. She sent pictures and updates and was so flexible with us! Will definitely be booking with her again when we come to visit again!”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“Cassy was great for a short notice sleep over for our small dog. She sent pictures of Teague and he enjoyed her children. Would definitely recommend trusting your fur baby to her.”
“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❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
“Tracy was fantastic with Dolly. She sent pictures showing the fun they were having. We felt so comfortable knowing Dolly was taken care of while we were on vacation near by. Would recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a good place to have their dog stay.”
“Would highly recommend Viviana to watch your pet. She was so friendly and easy to work with, and I know my dog was in the best of hands with her. Five stars!!”
“On very short notice, because of an emergency change of plans, we needed a dawg sitter. Nicole & Dexter P. were our choice by default. They were the closest. We knew nothing about them. I contacted them, hoping against hope, that with only a day’s notice , they would be able to take our puppy. Millie is 3 years old, but in our minds, still a puppy. If you live your dog, you understand! They came through for us!!! Good communications and stayed in touch with us while we were gone. Sent pictures. Let us pick her up early, since the wife was worried about her. 9 o’clock at night but they worked with us to get her back with us. I don’t have a single complaint to mss as I’d against them. In my book, they are aces. Kudos! Applause! 😊”
“Ryan took great care of our energetic 7 month old puppy!! A great experience throughout from booking to pick up. Communication was always excellent and they sent tons of pics of our pup having a blast. Seemed like puppy paradise!! Definitely recommend!!”
“Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“He was great! 10/10 recommend! I could trust him with my crazy hyper Doberman and she felt right at home. He kept her updated and spent so much time with her. Will definitely use again.”
“Shawna is so sweet and very knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had so much fun and met some new friends during his stay. She updated my family with photos and videos of our dog living his best life! He was in great hands and we will be returning to Wonderful Wilderness for all our boarding needs”
“We were very apprehensive about leaving Doodle Boy with anyone so far from home. The photo's that Penny texted were very calming, He seemed to be relaxed. We were very satisfied. Thanks again for taking good care of hiim.”
“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.”
“Lola came home happy and tired! I know she enjoyed having a yard to roam since she does not have one at home! Mary was attentive to her needs and monitored for when she needed her meds.”
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”
About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.

“Cara is amazing! We’re so relieved to have found her! Excellent communication. She’s someone you can count on to watch over your pets with love and care. She even watered our flowers.”
“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!”
“Ami was great with our 2 cats. She sent us pictures & videos so I could see how much they trusted & loved her. She played with them & would pet them which they love. The litter boxes were cleaned & they were fed on a daily basis. Highly recommend her & I will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Ami for taking good care of our fur babies.”
“Did amazing with our strange cats LOL great communication and photo documentation. We have a kitty that constantly hides and Autumn's concern about not seeing him during visits was reassuring.”
“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!”
“Vanessa is great. She is thorough with our two cats, feeding, playing, brushing and cleaning the litter box. She is also great communicator about visits. She always asks questions and lets us know if anything seems off. I would absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve helped care for pets since 2008 and have had my own sweet girl for 8 years now! I’m one of “those people” who prefer dogs to humans. Services include drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the owner’s location. I’m currently working an early shift so I’ve got plenty of extra afternoon and evening time for loving on my baby and yours too! Available most weekends as well. Willing to care for your pet in YOUR home! I will treat myself as a guest and provide the service as if they were my own. Keeping our four-legged friends comfortable and in their own environment/routine is most important to me.
“I cannot recommend Anna enough to anyone needing a pet sitter! She’s friendly, professional, prompt, and exceeded our expectations. I can be over the top when it comes to updates on my Persian kitty, and she knew just the right times to check in with pics to set my mind at ease. It was such a breath of fresh air to come home to a clean house and happy baby girl. Anna kept our little timid scaredy cat over the 4th of July- I honestly didn’t expect to come home to our cat relaxing as if we never left. We came crashing through the door with our luggage and commotion and our cat was just sitting calmly like- “oh, you’re back 🙄” It was a nice change from arrangements we had made for her in the past where she seemed somewhat traumatized from our being away. I highly suggest Anna and her adorable family for your pet sitting needs and will be referring her to my friends and family as well.”
“Emma was so responsive and reliable when I needed someone to drop in on my pup. I got lots of pictures and updates while I was away, which made the whole experience so much better. Emma put me at ease and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have a deep love for animals and a strong background in caring for them, which has been enriched by my studies in Animal Science. 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. This job aligns perfectly with my career aspirations, allowing me to apply my learning in real-world settings and gain valuable hands-on experience. Caring for your pets isn't just a job for me; it's a vital part of my journey towards becoming a dedicated professional in animal care.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years now, including my families pets and my friend’s pets including dogs, cats, and even goats. Currently I take care of my German Shepherd dog at home, feeding in the morning and night time, letting him outside, and playing with him. I take care of pets gently, when playing with them if they are young and energetic i will play a lot more with them than older pets.
“Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Cy Cy, my cat, is a bit skittish and this was the first time we left her with a sitter. We had only been in Gatlinburg for a few hours when Frances sent a couple of pics of Cy Cy. She was on her back sleeping, just like she does at home, so she evidently felt safe. I really appreciate her care and anytime I need a sitter she will be my first call.”

“Tracy is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her! We were in Pigeon Forge for a baseball tournament and had booked a pet-friendly hotel. Unfortunately, our sweet Grayson experienced severe anxiety at the hotel, and I quickly realized he couldn’t be left alone in the room. Since this was my first time using Rover, I scheduled a meet-and-greet with Tracy. Grayson immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did I. She took him home with her for the day, and he did great. Tracy kept in constant communication and sent pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. We could not have asked for a better experience!”
“Megan was great! My one year old fur baby has issues with her kidneys and Megan made sure Lilly was well taken care of and given lots of love! I was nervous leaving her for the day with Megan and her family due to my pup’s health issues and her being nervous-she doesn’t travel well sometimes-but Megan kept me up to date on everything and the family surrounded her with the love and care she needed. Will definitely consider Megan watching my fur baby again when I’m back in the area. :)”
“Ryan and his family were the best caregivers ever! They spent a lot of time with our fur babies and have a sweet dog to play with also! They are special people and are very welcoming! We feel like we made new friends.”
“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.”
“Kristy was amazing!! My times got all wonky and I dropped him off and picked him up a little later than we originally planned, and she was SO kind about it! Communicated very quickly and did wonderfully with Banjo. He came home nice and wore out from all the playing he did with Kristy:)”

Always will make time and room for a special friend in my home, and throughout my day to take care of them when their owners are busy. Availability can be flexible.

I love and enjoy what I do very much and I take it seriously. I always give my undivided attention to all the pets I look after. ❓If you have any questions, please ask❓ ‼️PLEASE DO NOT TRY AND BOOK ME AND NOT ANSWER AFTERWARDS, I WILL DECLINE‼️ My availability is on my calendar. I need 3 DAYS in advance for all bookings please. Thank you to all my clients and furry friends! I have plenty of grassy outdoor area for dogs to go potty. Not fenced. Dogs will always remain on leash regardless of training. My home is dog proofed as I do have a child so everything is child proofed.

“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.”
“Shawna was awesome with our very big eight month old GSD. She sent lots of videos and pictures and kept me updated on our pups visit with her. Shawna has a nice calm present with the dogs and was very accommodating to my schedule.”
“We are in from out of state and Danita watched our Border Collie while we did some “not dog friendly” activities in the area. Danita was great with our dog - super friendly, walked him, and sent updates and photos. Would not hesitate to book again when in the area! Thank you!”
“Julianne was so wonderful with Andi for doggy day care! Lots of pets, toys, and pictures. Andi got exactly what she needed which was a long nap and snuggles. Julianne was very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use her again if ever in town!”
About: Love all animals! Big and small! Love to go on walks and let them have fun and play! I like to take pictures of them as well, and keep you updated along the way! I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule and can manage my time and make sure I am going to be available when I say I am and be there to attend to the pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. I understand that every pet is different and I am willing to accommodate each and every need they may have.
About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter who has cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve helped take care of many animals over the years and am comfortable with feeding schedules, bathing, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I work part time so it’s easy to book with me for bathing, drop-ins, dog sitting, dog day care. Please note I do not trim animal hair. My schedule is pretty flexible: 9am-7pm/Monday-Friday. I travel to owners home, I try not to bring other animals to my home due to me having very energetic dogs that don’t get along well with others.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring calm confidence and genuine love to every stay. I also have hands-on training experience with several breeds — basic obedience, leash manners, and good house behavior, from spirited puppies to strong, high-energy dogs. I adapt to each dog's needs: daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and senior care with slower paces and special diets. Your dog will feel safe, understood, and truly at home with me. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I love long walks — your dog will get plenty of them — and I practice yoga daily, which keeps me calm, patient, and present. I'm here for morning outings, midday breaks, and evening wind-downs, with consistent attention, timely meals, and lots of companionship in between. In my home, your dog becomes part of the family. I work from home, so there's always company, regular walks, playtime, and a cozy spot to rest. I follow your pet's routine closely — feeding, medications, and house rules — so they feel right at home. In your home, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking: fresh food and water, potty breaks, long walks, playtime, and lots of affection, plus tidy-up and photo updates so you always know how they're doing.

I just adopted a new puppy a year and a half ago and was refreshed on what they need in their younger years. Would love to meet more furry buddies & can’t wait to love yours! I am currently taking a work hiatus the next few months, so I’m as free as a bird to spend the most time with your pups! Happy to keep pets in their safest environments, ie fenced yard or crate.

“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!”
“Caitlin was extremely responsive and dedicated to getting to our boys- even when stuck in heavy Pigeon Forge event traffic. She sent us pictures and gave them treats in addition to her “walking duty”. Would recommend and use her again anytime!”

“Like so many, my dog is my bestest bud and I’m very picky about who I trust to watch him, even at home. We were visiting Dollywood from Florida and knew Jaxson would need a walk while we were at the park… I was very nervous to use Rover for the first time, especially in an unfamiliar area and staying in a hotel. Ami gave me faith in Rover!! She was AMAZING. Super flexible, sweet, Jaxson loved her, and they went on little adventures together. He even got a patch from a local Police Officer on one of his walks! Ami truly treated Jaxson like one of her own and if I’m ever in the area again, I’ll choose Ami again no doubt!”

I can administer oral medication. ============================= I have one Pembroke Welsh corgi and as much as I love the breed, I don’t discriminate. I love all dogs, all shapes, sizes, and breeds. My first corgi was adopted in 2014. He was found wandering in the Texas heat covered in fleas with no collar or microchip. I bathed him, treated the fleas, put up signs and no one called for him. At the time, the vet estimated him to be 1-2 years old. He was with us for 11.5 years; he crossed the rainbow bridge on 12/05/25. 🐾🐾🌈💙 My female corgi is 10 years old.

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!

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were a bit nervous, but it worked out wonderfully! Megan took such great care of Theo, took him for a walk, and even stopped by the dog park so he could play. We loved that she sent pictures along the way—it made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy. She even offered to come meet him the day before to get familiar with his routine and our location, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re staying at Anchor Down RV Park, she would be the perfect sitter to trust with your baby! We hope to use her next year!”

“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns.

“Cassy was great for a short notice sleep over for our small dog. She sent pictures of Teague and he enjoyed her children. Would definitely recommend trusting your fur baby to 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!”
“Tracy was fantastic with Dolly. She sent pictures showing the fun they were having. We felt so comfortable knowing Dolly was taken care of while we were on vacation near by. Would recommend Tracy to anyone looking for a good place to have their dog stay.”
“Would highly recommend Viviana to watch your pet. She was so friendly and easy to work with, and I know my dog was in the best of hands with her. Five stars!!”
“I’m so glad that I found Lauren! She was amazing in taking care of my two fur babies. This was my first time using Rover, and I was somewhat nervous in leaving them with a stranger. That nervousness disappeared very quickly when Lauren communicated to me on a daily basis by sending pictures and/or videos as to how they were doing. They were exhausted when I brought them home so I know they had a great time. Knowing that they were being very well taken care of was such a relief. I will definitely be a return customer and highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!!”
“On very short notice, because of an emergency change of plans, we needed a dawg sitter. Nicole & Dexter P. were our choice by default. They were the closest. We knew nothing about them. I contacted them, hoping against hope, that with only a day’s notice , they would be able to take our puppy. Millie is 3 years old, but in our minds, still a puppy. If you live your dog, you understand! They came through for us!!! Good communications and stayed in touch with us while we were gone. Sent pictures. Let us pick her up early, since the wife was worried about her. 9 o’clock at night but they worked with us to get her back with us. I don’t have a single complaint to mss as I’d against them. In my book, they are aces. Kudos! Applause! 😊”
“Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“Tamara was very punctual. Communication was too notch. She sent daily text updates, videos or pictures. My dogs got great socializing with her dogs. Great first time experience. I would recommend Tamara for dog sitting.”

“He was great! 10/10 recommend! I could trust him with my crazy hyper Doberman and she felt right at home. He kept her updated and spent so much time with her. Will definitely use again.”
“Shawna was amazing. She took such great care of our dog and was fantastic about sending pictures and videos letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely use her again. ❤️”
About: I specialize in special diets, feeding schedules, and making sure fresh water is always available. I’m especially comfortable with nervous, reactive, and human-aggressive dogs and give them the patience and space they need to feel safe. I keep tons of toys around to find what makes each pup happy. Want to play? Let’s play! Want to snuggle? Absolutely! Want to sit across the room and stare at me? 😂 That works too! As long as they’re fed, happy, safe, and have gone potty outside, we’re doing just fine! ❤️ I work Monday through Friday and I’m home every evening and every weekend Dogs will get lots of FreePlay and access to potty with a safe fenced in area and all the toys they could dream of! My job allows me to take pets to work with me so that is always an option for your animals. If they are people friendly to work in my store I do also offer in pigeon Forge day visits on Wednesdays or I will keep your pet at my store from 10 AM until 7 PM and you can drop off and pick up with confidence of knowing your pay is safe and taken care of and well loved! Dogs have free run of the house when I’m home large crates when I’m not they’re allowed on furniture I can accommodate special diets easily! Animals are not left alone outside. I have a large porch and room for them to potty and play!
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin 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!!!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.
