“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!!”
“Our dog received perfect care and attention. Caitlin and her family were active with our dog and took him on numerous walks around their property. She kept me up to date on how he was doing and sent pictures. Her son made Boomer feel at home. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend! Kristy was absolutely incredible with our girl Star! This was our first time leaving her with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous. Kristy sent us multiple updates and pictures. She was very accommodating to our shy girl. Star was skiddish at first, but by the end of the stay she bloomed into her playful, loving self! We are so thankful for Kristy and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Hannah is a wonderful human! She took amazing care of my older dog and even sent him home with homemade treats. I can’t thank her enough. She was communicative and I felt great leaving my old man with Hannah. Thank you, Hannah!”
“We have never left our dog and decided to do an overnight stay with Skylar. She was so understanding and accommodating. They sent pictures and a video keeping us up-to-date how he was doing. Our Labrador retriever had a great time playing with their Golden retriever. I was concerned he wouldn’t want to eat or settle down but in this good home environment no problem. If you’re looking at a place for doggy daycare or overnight, I highly recommend Skylar”
“Joan is AMAZING! She took care of our Cookie boy like her own. She is kind, loving, provided daily updates, and followed his schedule/routine like he was home. He came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Ruby had such a great time this past weekend! I’m so thankful we found Dani! She’s knowledgeable and takes great care of the dogs… She sends lots of pictures and videos to keep you informed on how your dog is doing. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover and we are so thankful that it introduced us to Jeanie. We have never received so many photos and updates about our 2 dogs, it was amazing. Our dogs relaxed and sunbathed on her porch, played with the other dogs, and even got some snuggles. We cannot thank Jeanie enough for being available on such short notice and for the care she gave our 2 dogs. Jeanie is now our go-to for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sandra was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Stayed in communication to update how well MJ was doing. Loves the pics she sent. He really enjoyed the weekend! Would def book with Sandra again”
“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”
“Penny was absolutely amazing. She was constantly sending us pictures and videos of Thor. She took great care of our baby and was very aware of dietary restrictions.”
“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!!”
About: I have been a dog sitter/cat sitter, off and on for 20 years. I love animals! I treat and love them as if they were my own. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have plenty of yard around my home. I prefer smaller dogs, but I am flexible. Must be good with kids! I have a 14 year old who loves animals and can't wait to give them attention they need. I will be happy to come get your dog or meet you prior to watching your dog. I have a full-time job. I leave the house around 8, and I'm home most days by 4:00. My husband will be here to help out as needed. I will walk them, play and care for them as they are my own. I own a large crate so if you are crate training I can be consistent and provide that service.
“★★★★★ I had a fantastic experience with Trey! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated how he kept his availability updated, allowing me to make a last-minute reservation. I could immediately tell, at both drop off and pick up, that my dog was going to and did receive lots of love and attention. And with my busy schedule, it's so important to have someone reliable and flexible like Trey. He was incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him in the future! Thank you so much Trey!! I can tell Nico was well taken care of and comfortable 🫶”
“I had a wonderful experience with Deanna. She was flexible and communicative and took wonderful care of my older dog. Pearl can be a little shy and nervous but she had a wonderful time and was clearly so comfortable right away. Would absolutely stay with her again!”
“Sarah was the perfect choice for our dogs. You can tell that she really loves taking care of animals. She did a fantastic job boarding and working with our two Dachshunds (Polly and Oscar). One of our dogs was never boarded, and had little experience around other dogs. She handled that with ease. She acclimated him with her dogs, and it looked like he had a blast. She sent us plenty of updates that kept us from worrying about how the pups were doing. We came from out of town so we wish she was closer to us. We would definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone.”

“Caitlin is absolutely wonderful. I can not say enough good things about her and her services. So easy to work with, polite and punctual, a true blessing to our 2 month old Dalmatian. She gives him all the cuddles and attention he could ever want, and sends the best pictures of our little boy. I cant thank you enough Caitlin, you are a true blessing to our family!”
“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”

It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.

I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
About: I have worked at vets offices and boarding facilities where I was the sole caretaker of all the animals boarding including cats. At eh vets offices I was a vet tech so I dealt with cats during appointments and in surgery.

“Naomi provided our family with wonderful service and, more importantly with peace of mind. We have 2 geriatric cats, one of whom is not well, and a 7 year old who can be a handful. None of the 3 has been alone for a protracted period of time let alone been boarded. We are so thankful to have had Naomi take such good care of our fur babies. She left our home in great shape, and collected our mail and delivered packages which was icing on the cake. We highly recommend her and will seek her out if we go out of town again.”
About: I have had cats my entire life, including now! I am experienced in kitten, senior cat care and everything in between. I have fostered and adopted out multiple litters (including bottle fed babies) and I would love to help you take care of your babies!
“Wonderful pet (cat) sitter! Olive was very comfortable with Olivia. Maybe too comfortable bossing her around begging for treats and scratches. 😹 Great communication and pics/videos sent to us too! Will book again. 👍🏻”
“Lydia is AWESOME! She went above and beyond as our sitter. Not only did she hanging out with our kitty but she also brought my packages out of the rain. Lydia was really kind and quickly won over my grumpy cat. She’s a keeper for sure!”
“Cassandra takes wonderful care of my kitty when I need her. My girl is so shy and warmed up to her quickly. I'm so thankful for her being here and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! I have a dog yard and plenty of play space that has proven great for Rover. Your pet will be my best friend during their stay. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to host yours!
“Vanessa is great! Followed all the directions, very respectful, and attentive. I especially appreciate she made an effort to engage with my cat that is skittish/Jekyll & Hyde, run-for-the-hills kind of personality around people she doesn’t know and if I am not around. She also sent pictures of my cat and other stuff around which I really appreciate, made me feel comfortable my cat has what she needs while I am away!”

“Shawna is awesome with our big gsd Patsy, and Patsy loves going to Shawna’s to play. Shawna has a good set up at her house for the dogs and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care Shawna gives to Patsy.”
About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs. My journey in pet care began as a passion for animals and over the years it has involved into a deep commitment of providing top-notch care and companionship to pets of all kinds. Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.
“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!”
About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.
About: I provide low-volume, personalized boarding for dogs who deserve more than a kennel experience. I intentionally accept only a small number of dogs at a time so every pup receives plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and individualized care. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and reptiles. As a dental student, attention to detail, communication, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, cuddly, food-motivated, or has a very specific routine, I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy so they can truly enjoy their stay. A typical day includes plenty of outdoor playtime in my large fenced backyard, lots of attention, couch naps, treats (with owner approval!), enrichment, and quality one-on-one time. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. Some dogs want to spend hours running around the yard, while others are happiest curled up next to me while I study. Either way, they’ll be included in my daily routine and treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: I want your dog to be excited when they arrive and exhausted from fun when they go home! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a large fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and closely supervise all interactions. Before every stay, I take time to learn your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, sleeping preferences, medications, and any special needs so I can provide the smoothest transition possible. I also provide frequent photo updates and communication throughout the stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and cared for.

“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Daniella was amazing. I dont think they could get any better than her. She kept us updated and took some amazing pictures of our dogs. Will definitely use again and recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of many many pets. From German shepherds, Labs, Boxers, Beagles, little dogs too, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Chihuahuas. I’ve raised many litters.

“We stopped in town for an event and needed dog care and Jenny was so accommodating. She is the go too dog watcher in the Knoxville area for a reason. Loved our dogs and sent us pictures while we we at the event. Thank you Jenny!!!”
About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for over 30 years. I would love the opportunity to love on your fur baby. I love all animals. But dogs have a special place in my heart. I had my backyard fenced in 2024 for my grandpuppies when they visit. It is perfect for hosting other fur babies too. Since I am retired, I am home most of the time. I have 1 dog, Buster Brown. My daughter & SIL adopted him in 2023. He is a rescue and turned 3 on March 10, 2026. He came to live with me in Feb of this year. He's the sweetest boy and loves to play with all dogs. I will love your furbaby as I would my own & Buster Brown loves having friends stay over. I only host for one family at a time. If you have 2 dogs that's not a problem.
“Melinda has been amazing with my baby. She treats her like she’s her own and i couldn’t have asked for a better person to entrust with my baby girl. I’d recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a sitter, she’ll make sure your baby is well taken care of! ❤️🐕🦺🐾”
About: I have a genuine passion for caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I love being active and going on walks, and I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m currently enrolled in a doctoral program and complete my coursework from home, which gives me full control of my schedule and plenty of flexibility. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. I am in school full time at home so my schedule is very flexible and likely can adjust to you and your pets personal needs! I have a friendly 30 pound dog who does well with others. I also have a yard for your pet to run and play in!
“Lauryn was the nicest person ever. She agreed to watch tasia last minute so we could enjoy a nice day at the fair. Would definetly have her watch my fur babe again if we ever come through Tennessee again. She communicates very well with lots of pictures.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college. I’ve been looking after pups ever since. My current best friend is a theee-legged mutt named Jeff and he loves when company comes over. I’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and can do most of my work from the screeened in porch. That’s nice because it lets me keep an eye on the pooch while also feeling less like a cave hermit hunched over a keyboard all day.
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
“Talk about “above and beyond” - Khasia was amazing to work with - and on very short notice! Goldie was very well taken care of and I would not hesitate to use Khasia again. She was polite, professional, and very kind.”

About: Born and raised on a farm in Ohio, caring for animals has been in my DNA my whole life! I love animals of every shape and size, and raised Pembroke Welsh Corgi's for many years. Since my corgi's have passed away, I've chose to share my love with the fur babies of family and friends. I'm a single professional that works afternoon/evenings in Knoxville. I am generally available anytime on Monday and Tuesday's, and all other mornings till 1 pm. Also able to transport to airports. I'm able to follow your instructions and routine to keep your beloved companions safe, comfortable and secure. I believe the familiar environment of their home is the best place while you are away.
About: I experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and even helped run a small petting zoo with goats, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise when I was younger. I’ve also worked alongside veterinary offices and rescues, caring for cats and rabbits. For the past year, I’ve been dog sitting and walking regularly, and I’m comfortable with large breeds, puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m very patient, pay close attention to behavior, and always follow care instructions carefully to keep pets safe and comfortable. Pet care is basically my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable, flexible and consistent for every pet I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m very mindful of safety making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect your home and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up having dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, Guinea Pigs, and birds. As I got older I was fortunate enough to move to the country where I also got to have horses, chickens, and goats. We even had a pet pig! I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets my whole life because they see the passion I have for animals. My dogs have all lived long healthy lives because of the love and care I provide. We currently have two Goldendoodles, who are littermate sisters. We obtained our girls after we lost all 3 of our senior dogs within a year. Our hearts were broken and we knew our home needed dogs running around. We got them at 13 weeks old and had them trained to go out in less than a week. By the next week they knew to ring the bells to go out. We had them crate trained after 3 nights and the only time there was an accident in the crate was when they had an upset stomach. We only used the crates for when we were going to be out and at night. This kept them safe from home hazards. They both loved their crates as it was their safe space. They have both outgrown their crates and sleep in the room with us. They are 2 years old and completely spoiled! If you select me to care for your baby, he/she will get all the love and cuddles the can handle. I am retired but I still have so much energy and what better way to spend my time than playing with animals. I’m available 7 days a week to care for your pets. Currently I am not keeping fur babies in my home due to lack of fencing. Once we fence in our yard I will offer in home care.

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.

I have a shared fence yard with my landlord; I have a beautiful and nonchalant Husky named Chloe who loves to snuggleup on the couch thats on the porch and play in the kiddy pool and play with her toys ; Weezy my landlords dog is a old lady who sometimes can't seem to find her own tail but thats okay cause we love weezy but she does love to run around in the big yard when the old lady is feeling up to it .
About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!
“Harlie has been a godsend! She came over to meet Rocket the day before his first walk to meet him and learn his little routine. She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.”

About: I’ve taken care of many many pets. From German shepherds, Labs, Boxers, Beagles, little dogs too, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Chihuahuas. I’ve raised many litters. Pets are not just animals, they are family. Your pet will be right at home in my care, comfort snuggles, playtime. I will care for them like they are my own. I work for myself, and at home so my hours are very flexible and I have plenty of time to play and care for your fur baby! In my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and safe environment where pets can relax and feel loved. I follow each pet’s usual routine, feeding schedules, walks, medication, and playtime to help them feel right at home. Pets have access to clean indoor space, comfy spots to nap, and a secure deck to sunbath, and plenty of land for leashed walks. In Clients’ Homes, I care for pets just like you would, keeping them comfortable, loved, and on their routine. I’m respectful of your home, follow all instructions carefully, and give updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.
About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.
About: For the last few years, I’ve had experience pet sitting for clients with dogs and cats of varying ages from 1-10 years old. I love spending time with animals to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, and am always willing to spend time with them whether that be playing, walking, or just chilling out at their house. I’ve dealt with dogs both small and large and am capable of taking care of all size animals. I’m currently a college student at ETSU and also a YoungLife leader. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am booked from 10-3 and other days vary depending on my schedule. My schedule is somewhat flexible, so I can guarantee that adequate time will be made to ensure your pet(s) have all their needs met from bathroom breaks to staying overnight at your home. Over the summer, I’m in Knoxville, and I work shifts from 7-1 or 12-6. Even with that, I can make time to care for your pets. I can meet whatever specific needs your pet has, whether it is giving them a certain amount of crate/outside time, rewarding them for doing good, going off of their schedule to keep them in routine, etc.
About: I've taken care of many different dogs, from chihuahuas, Pyrenees, weenie dogs, all the way to cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. I love animals, and I am willing to learn more about different breeds too! As of right now I am not working since I am a stay at home mom, so she is my working buddy (six months will not let play with the pets) so I am free pretty much anytime besides Sunday morning; because I like going to church. I can set up whatever routine you choose at your home, whether that is crating or letting them sleep out the couch, and so forth. I cannot do sitting at my house since I have large dogs that are protective.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, especially dogs and cats. Friends and neighbors have consistently relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep routines consistent and make animals feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, whether that means giving an energetic dog a good walk or taking the time to earn the trust of a more reserved cat. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and committed to making sure every pet is well cared for and gets the attention they deserve. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Because my work schedule varies, I can often work around your pet’s normal routine whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. My goal is to keep your pet’s schedule as normal and stress free as possible while you’re away. I focus on providing care in your pet’s own home where they’re most comfortable. I’m available for house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and consistency while you’re away.
About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! I have a dog yard and plenty of play space that has proven great for Rover. Your pet will be my best friend during their stay. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to host yours!
About: I was a care taker of a dog for 12 years so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and taking dogs on walks. I also was a care taker of a cat for 5 years. I was in charge of giving the cat food, water, and doing the cat’s litter box. I have been pet sitting/ house sitting for almost two years and have done countless house sitting jobs. My work schedule right now is Monday, Thursday, and Friday 9 AM - 5:30 PM and Tuesdays and Wednesday 11:30 AM - 8:00 PM. I’m available on weekends too. I’m also willing to spend the night to make sure your pet gets the best care. I have a ton of experience with keeping dogs safe as I use to care for my dog for 12 years. I make sure they don’t eat anything that is unhealthy for me and I make sure they don’t get in any danger

“Our dog received perfect care and attention. Caitlin and her family were active with our dog and took him on numerous walks around their property. She kept me up to date on how he was doing and sent pictures. Her son made Boomer feel at home. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend! Kristy was absolutely incredible with our girl Star! This was our first time leaving her with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous. Kristy sent us multiple updates and pictures. She was very accommodating to our shy girl. Star was skiddish at first, but by the end of the stay she bloomed into her playful, loving self! We are so thankful for Kristy and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Hannah is a wonderful human! She took amazing care of my older dog and even sent him home with homemade treats. I can’t thank her enough. She was communicative and I felt great leaving my old man with Hannah. Thank you, Hannah!”
“We have never left our dog and decided to do an overnight stay with Skylar. She was so understanding and accommodating. They sent pictures and a video keeping us up-to-date how he was doing. Our Labrador retriever had a great time playing with their Golden retriever. I was concerned he wouldn’t want to eat or settle down but in this good home environment no problem. If you’re looking at a place for doggy daycare or overnight, I highly recommend Skylar”
“Ruby had such a great time this past weekend! I’m so thankful we found Dani! She’s knowledgeable and takes great care of the dogs… She sends lots of pictures and videos to keep you informed on how your dog is doing. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover and we are so thankful that it introduced us to Jeanie. We have never received so many photos and updates about our 2 dogs, it was amazing. Our dogs relaxed and sunbathed on her porch, played with the other dogs, and even got some snuggles. We cannot thank Jeanie enough for being available on such short notice and for the care she gave our 2 dogs. Jeanie is now our go-to for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“★★★★★ I had a fantastic experience with Trey! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated how he kept his availability updated, allowing me to make a last-minute reservation. I could immediately tell, at both drop off and pick up, that my dog was going to and did receive lots of love and attention. And with my busy schedule, it's so important to have someone reliable and flexible like Trey. He was incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him in the future! Thank you so much Trey!! I can tell Nico was well taken care of and comfortable 🫶”
“I had a wonderful experience with Deanna. She was flexible and communicative and took wonderful care of my older dog. Pearl can be a little shy and nervous but she had a wonderful time and was clearly so comfortable right away. Would absolutely stay with her again!”
“Sarah was the perfect choice for our dogs. You can tell that she really loves taking care of animals. She did a fantastic job boarding and working with our two Dachshunds (Polly and Oscar). One of our dogs was never boarded, and had little experience around other dogs. She handled that with ease. She acclimated him with her dogs, and it looked like he had a blast. She sent us plenty of updates that kept us from worrying about how the pups were doing. We came from out of town so we wish she was closer to us. We would definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone.”
“Rachel was so wonderful to work with. She was so very sweet. Grainger and Millie had such fun with her pups. She kept us updated on how they were and sent pictures and videos. I would highly recommend and will be using her services again.”
“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!”
“Erin was amazing with my dogs! Regular updates and pics, took them on adventures and played with them. Gave them all the snuggles and love we couldn't because we were traveling. I will 100% be using her again!”
“As always, Caillynn was amazing with our Dane! He has had a nervous stomach with anybody else we’ve ever left him with. We are very thankful to have her keep our pup anytime we go out of town. It’s a blessing to never have to worry about him when vacationing!”
“Zoe was beyond amazing. My dog is timid but she warmed right up to her. I felt comfortable that gypsy was taken care of, and she sent picks every day. Zoe had a fenced in yard which was an extra plus so my pup could run and play ball. Definitely recommend her to everyone and will only use her when I need someone! For my dog to warm up so quickly in a strangers house, she is obviously a wonderful person.”
