“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.”
“Ann was easy to communicate with and she was very accommodating of my situation. If I’m ever need anyone in the area, I’ll definitely contact her. It was a great experience.”
“Kristy took excellent care of our fearful/anxious dog, Lily! She typically has a hard time warming up to people but she settled in very quickly. We received many updates and photos throughout her stay. I dare say she was even more spoiled at Kristy’s than at home! ;)”
“Krystal was absolutely amazing! I had a cross-country move during which everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. Krystal was compassionate and flexible, and the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was whether Max was safe and well cared for. He is a city cat, so he gained a new appreciation for chicken watching, and her kiddos kept him snuggled and loved. They are a good distance from my new home, but I will make the trip for Krystal to keep him when I go out of town. She and her family were a true blessing when I needed help caring for Max. I will always be grateful.”
“Gibbs had his third stay with Ryan and his family, which was an overnight visit this time. I received photos of him having a great time and being pampered. I will certainly keep leaving Gibbs with Ryan and his family whenever I need to be away.”
“Shawna took absolutely wonderful care of my baby while I was out of town. She sent me a ton of pictures and videos and he looked like he was having so much fun that he didn’t even have time to miss me!! Will definitely be a repeat customer and will highly be recommending her to everyone I know!!! Thanks Shawna!!”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Piper loves her time with Viviana! She stayed 2 full weeks and came home tired! Viviana sends several photos a day so I can see how happy Piper is with her new friends. I never worry about her when she is there. She is truly the best! We have used Viviana many, many times and will never change. I highly recommend her!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was my first time using this service. I was a little nervous but Sydney made it so easy! She is wonderful. I would completely trust her with any of my animals. She was able to watch our puppy with very short notice. I definitely wish we lived closer because we felt very safe dropping our baby off to her!”
“Had a great experience with Erin with my pup. She kept me informed of how my pup was doing throughout his stay with pictures and texts. He was super well cared for and have no problems using Erin again in the future.”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with our 2 girls. I have no doubt they were very well taken care of and loved! Shannon sent many updates and photos, which put our heart & mind at ease. We wouldn’t hesitate to send our girls to Shannon again, in fact as long as she is around our girls will always go to her.”
“Kathy is truly amazing! My hound dog is not like other dogs and needs a lot of reassurance, love and space to feel space! Kathy provides just that environment. She responded to me promptly each time I check in on keepsake and made sure he was happy and well cared for! I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”
“These were the perfect people for our dog. Our pup is only 9 months old and has separation anxiety. They were so patient with her and sent us pictures every day. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Tracy was an amazing sitter! She communicated clearly and kept us updated throughout the stay. Our dog did great and seemed very happy and comfortable. We really appreciated her care and attention. Highly recommend Tracy for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“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!”
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.
“Cara was fantastic with our pets and with our home. Definate rehire if we travel again. She spent time with our pets, checked on our home and even watered our plants. She sent photos daily and sent a message when she had a concern. Very trust worthy, thanks.”
“Tasha was great! She was very communicative and gracious, even when the garage door opener I gave her didn’t work, she took everything in stride to work around the issue and still take care of my two cats. She replied almost instantly to messages and all of my questions.”
“Nyla was an amazing Rover! She was able to work with us last minute and was very flexible. She was also amazing with our difficult dog! Can't wait to book with her in the future.”

We are excited to meet you and your fur-babies I have extensive knowledge on dogs and their behavior. I know how to keep a safe environment and gain trust of an anxious pup. My apartment has multiple dog walking spots as well as a fenced in area for pups to run around.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Tracy was amazing, and I will only use her from here on out for my pet care needs. Gave frequent updates with multiple pictures, noted a loose spot in my fence and rigged up a solution, and even took my dog Pico out on additional walks than I paid for. You can tell she truly has a heart for animals. The cherry on top was a sweet hand written note on my arrival back. Could not recommend more, 10/10!!!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
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.
“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.”

“Megan was amazing with Benji! She really cared and Benji warmed up to her right away. While we were gone, she kept us updated with check-ins and photos. It was clear that Benji had a great time. He was happy, relaxed, and was well cared for by Megan and her family. She is reliable, kind, and genuinely great with dogs. I’d definitely recommend Megan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pup!”

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.”

She has abandonment issues and gets really stressed when left alone and can’t be crated either due to past trauma, so we’re thankful to leave her in Danita’s care. Will be booking again!”

About: I grew up on a farm in rural Appalachia so I have been surrounded by pets of all different types for as long as I can remember. I learned how to care for them very early on in my childhood and that experience fostered my passionate love for all animals. I believe in caring for them, not just as pets, but members of our families. I am flexible with my routine so I can meet the varying needs of the doggies that stay with us. We can discuss more in depth when you inquire to book. I have a spacious, fenced in back yard that is perfect for zoomies and playtime! My home is open and welcoming. I have lots of space for them to hangout or to relax in their kennel.

About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well. Therefore my experience with pets with medical needs gives me the knowledge of taking care of your fur baby who may need a little extra attention. I am home throughout the day as well as nights and evenings so your fur babies will get all the love and play time they need! I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly. I have a room that is a dedicated dog room where crates are kept for the dogs to be safely while I am away. YOUR PET MUST BE CRATE TRAINED! Please bring a crate for each dog you are boarding with me unless prior arrangements have been made! I do have a baby so your pet must be good with children.

“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”

“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. She regularly drove Mickey to Patriot Park for walks. She even took care of Mickey on Mother's Day, which allowed my family and me to spend the day worry-free at Anakeesta Adventure Park. I hope Sydney's available again next year!”

Ask me about it! *Will require a phone call* 📞 ============================= I’ve babysat friends and family’s dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, chickens 🐓 , fish 🐠, and plants 🪴. I’ve also fostered dogs, love them like my own, until they were adopted. I have experience with dogs who have stranger anxiety, thunderstorm fears, and epilepsy. 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.

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.

“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!”
“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!”
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.
About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember. These loving, sweet members of our families deserve only the best care. I have been pet sitting and walking for a few years off and on. I also volunteer at Young Williams Animal Shelter so I interact with all kinds of different sweet animals often. I have 1 cat and 1 dog right now, both are my babies that I love dearly. I also am working through the process of getting my dog training certification so I can further my training and education on these sweet animals! I hope you will consider me to be your pet sitter and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a college student so I do have classes, but I have no classes Tuesday and Thursdays and I have lots of free time during the day! I love animals so I thought this would be a fantastic way to spend my time on the side! Your pets safety is the upmost priority when considering pet sitting. I only do in home sitting because I want to ensure it is the care is to your standards. I also do have means of travel if dog parks were an interest, and I have a seat attachment for all sized dogs to keep them from moving all around the car!
“Vanessa is great! She listened to our instructions for our dog, and provided updates and took lots of photos on the walk. We would love to have her walk our dog 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.”
“Ann was easy to communicate with and she was very accommodating of my situation. If I’m ever need anyone in the area, I’ll definitely contact her. It was a great experience.”
“Kristy took excellent care of our fearful/anxious dog, Lily! She typically has a hard time warming up to people but she settled in very quickly. We received many updates and photos throughout her stay. I dare say she was even more spoiled at Kristy’s than at home! ;)”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Piper loves her time with Viviana! She stayed 2 full weeks and came home tired! Viviana sends several photos a day so I can see how happy Piper is with her new friends. I never worry about her when she is there. She is truly the best! We have used Viviana many, many times and will never change. I highly recommend her!!!”
“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.”
“This was my first time using this service. I was a little nervous but Sydney made it so easy! She is wonderful. I would completely trust her with any of my animals. She was able to watch our puppy with very short notice. I definitely wish we lived closer because we felt very safe dropping our baby off to her!”
“Had a great experience with Erin with my pup. She kept me informed of how my pup was doing throughout his stay with pictures and texts. He was super well cared for and have no problems using Erin again in the future.”
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful with our 2 girls. I have no doubt they were very well taken care of and loved! Shannon sent many updates and photos, which put our heart & mind at ease. We wouldn’t hesitate to send our girls to Shannon again, in fact as long as she is around our girls will always go to her.”
“These were the perfect people for our dog. Our pup is only 9 months old and has separation anxiety. They were so patient with her and sent us pictures every day. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Tracy was an amazing sitter! She communicated clearly and kept us updated throughout the stay. Our dog did great and seemed very happy and comfortable. We really appreciated her care and attention. Highly recommend Tracy for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Joseph was wonderful with taking care of our girl! He provided daily updates and made sure Tilly was active and entertained. Already have another booking with him!”
“Somer did an amazing job looking after my 14-year-old beagle mix. It’s hard leaving a senior behind but Somer put my mind at ease. I’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Bethany is wonderful and so thoughtful!! My pup loves staying with her so much that sometimes he ignores me when he gets home...like he's mad that I came to get him!! Lol. That's a good feeling to know he loves her so much!!”
“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 !”
“Jack was a happy dog when he came home. I really appreciated it when I forgot his food and she said don’t worry he’ll be fine I feed this type of food. Very flexible about drop off and pick up times.”
