“Deree and her husband were wonderful with our English bulldog, Parker! She’s not even a year old, so it meant a lot knowing they took extra care with her and paid attention to her needs as she can be very hyper at times and needs some re direction. I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. I forgot to pack enough food for the second day, and they stepped in without hesitation to make sure she was fed and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Their yard is nice and fully fenced in, making it a safe and fun space for the dogs to play. Parker clearly had a great time she slept the entire day when she got home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl. We will definitely be using you again!”
“Kallie is very kind and very knowledgeable about dogs. My Charlie was given a lot of attention and excellent care during his stay in her home. I amany photos daily, which eliminated my anxiety about leaving him in someone else's home. I will definitely hire Kallie again to keep my Charlie when I have to travel.”
“My first time away from the pups and frankly I was nervous. Aric kept me informed on them and it was obvious they were treated like they were “family”. It gave me peace of mind and I was able to enjoy my time. ( I think they ? also enjoyed their “staycation” from me ?)”
“We were highly satisfied with services provided by Brianna. She was super easy to work with and so friendly and courteous. Also she gave us great updates complete with pictures. We will definitely use her again when needed.”
“Ruth and her husband provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. They have great knowledge about dogs and offered a wonderful home away from home for my pup. Highly recommended.”
About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodl), a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!
“I cannot say enough good things about Darlene and her family. I left my 3 month old puppy Annie with them and I got pictures every day of her having the best time of her life! Their home is absolutely perfect for dogs and you can tell from talking to her that she absolutely loves them! Annie had playmates and wonderful care. It's like she went to puppy camp and I bet she cannot wait to go back!”
“Lyndsey was great with our pups! This was our first time leaving them with someone they didn't know, so we were nervous...but she sent us plenty of updates and pictures which eased our minds. We definitely recommend her and I'm sure we will be using her again in the future.”
“Cynthia is a 10/10 Trusted Sitter. If I could give her over 5 stars on Rover, I most certainly would without hesitation. The ‘start to end’ booking process was seamless and she was excellent to communicate with. She was beyond accommodating and all I needed to really know upon pick up was how my Tegan behaved. She did not want to leave Cynthia’s side which was a GREAT sign. Thank you Cynthia and Miles for opening your new, clean home to Tegan and spending time with her. Having to travel often for work doesn’t make it easy leaving my dog daughter behind but knowing she’s in good hands with you and close by, makes a world of a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this service as an option here in Polk County, TN!!! Looking forward to our next Rover boarding with you in a couple of weeks!”
“Tucker enjoyed the other dogs and had a great time at Brittney’s. She sent reports and pictures often and she would be my first choice in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of our little boy.”
“WE had them care for our 2 dogs for 9 nights due to us traveling to Chicago for a medical procedure for my husband. We received text and pic updates that made us feel good about knowing that our dogs are in good care. Thank you for everything that you did to make our boys feel at ease and comfortable during their stay. Marty & Olga”
“Melissa was so great with our dog. We received many updates, and she was so quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog for boarding or daycare. We will be booking with her again soon”
“Shannon was great with Maggie, sent pictures of her throughout the day, was understanding and flexible when I was arranging dates (waiting for grandbaby to be born!), and Maggie enjoyed herself very much while in her care. Thanks, Shannon!”
“Christine and her family took wonderful care of my girl while I was out of town! She sent frequent photos and updates and was flexible when I needed to drop her off early. My dog had a blast with them!”
About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.
“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”
“Smokeybear did well. Christina took very good care of him. I could tell she loves all animals and treated Smokey as one of her own pets. He seemed very happy after his stay there Thank you Christina.”

“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
“Kelcie did so well with Enzo. He’s a dog with trust issues but warmed up to Kelcie quickly. Kelcie was great at communicating if she had to stop in later than usual and she took such good pictures of Enzo. I think they really grew attached to each other during the months I spent in Knoxville. We will surely miss her!”
“Shannon visited my boy cat Smokie at my house a few times. I couldnt be more thankful! (not to mention one day was Valentines) xoxo. I was unexpectedly delayed on my return home and Shannon is an angel to have stopped by to make sure he was safe <3 Thank you, R.”
“I can't say enough good stuff about Cheyenne! You should know that I have never trusted many people with my animals, but Cheyenne earned my trust and kept it. Anyone who knows me knows what a huge compliment that is. After another sitter flaked out on us, she came to the rescue at the very last minute. She is always on time, communicates well, kind, caring, and went way beyond to make sure not just the animals were happy... but us too. We put extra on her and she willingly went even further. I hope she is still doing this when we go on our next trip! Again, she is great. Great customer service, very professional, and great with animals. :) Cheyenne, I'm sorry I didn't share the YouTube videos for the parrots sooner. If I had known it would make yall instant friends, I would have. Lol”
“Stephanie and Jay were fantastic with my kitties! This was my first time using Rover and they were very patient and reassuring. One of my boys is very shy and doesn’t even come out for some of my family, but they were able to coax him out for some Churu and love!”
“Katherine, Cared for our cat exceptionally well. She went above and beyond with keeping her fed and watered (our sassafras cat-who runs the house) is very picky). She updated us after every visit, I would recommend her and will absolutely rebook with Katherine!”
“I hired Paige to care for my cat while I was away for a few days and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly, communicated clearly and consistently, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat was well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Delaney, you were amazing!! Harold is shy and actually came up to you and you got great photos! Which says a lot about your warm energy:) Thank you again! I will definefitely request you in the future:) Lori”
“When we returned from our recent getaway, both of our kitty cats were calm and relaxed. That tells me just how good Jay took care of them!! Jay is great and his love for animals clearly shows. I fully trust him and know that all will be well while we are away. Thank you Jay!”

“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”

“Darlene was an excellent sitter for our dog while we were on the river. She explained her procedures thoroughly, was very safety minded, and had a genuine caring for the dogs in her care. She put our mind at ease and took great care of our dog. Thanks Darlene! If we are in your area again, we wouldn't hesitate to call on you.”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and frequent dog sitter for my close friends and family, I get how important it is not to have to worry about your dog when you can't be home. Ditch those worries and enjoy yourself while an incredibly professional, reliable, & responsible person hangs out with your dog! I'm here to offer a dog-friendly house with lots of cozy furniture to sprawl on, a big back yard, a great walkable small town, and plentiful nearby hikes for outdoor time. Your dog will feel right at home. Depending on your dog's energy level, we'll spend our time playing in the yard or exploring a nearby hike, or just lounging at home for the more sleepy senior dogs. I'm here to make your dog's vacation just as fun and comfortable as yours! I have a flexible, chill work-from-home job, allowing me to hang out with your pet 24/7! I can tailor my schedule to your dogs' play, potty break, and rest needs. I have a spacious home and yard, and have lots of time for whatever attention your dog needs. My sweet senior dog chills all day on the couch with me while I work, and we take frequent breaks to hang out on the porch and play in the yard.
About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.

About: I have been caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds for about 8 years through Rover. And I would love to care for yours! My husband and I have two dogs, Maggie and Zelda, and they love to make new friends! I experience with young puppies, injured, ill and elderly dogs. I have two pups of my own, and my world is nothing but dogs all day every day. I have pretty flexible schedule and am home most of the time. I also have a flexible schedule when it comes to drop in visits and walks. Fur babies are all treated like family at our house. We have a lot of space outside to play. Unfortunately we don’t have a fenced in yard. I would just need to be sure they can be trusted to stay with the pack. If they can’t be trusted and need to stay leashed they will.

“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”
“Aaron was absolutely wonderful with our two girls!!!! And we appreciate all the pictures and updates while we were away as I am definitely one of those worry dog moms!!!! We definitely know he will continue to use him as one of our girls is very picky on who she will poop for!!!! If you need anyone he is definitely the one!!!!!”
“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”

“Deree and her husband were wonderful with our English bulldog, Parker! She’s not even a year old, so it meant a lot knowing they took extra care with her and paid attention to her needs as she can be very hyper at times and needs some re direction. I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing she was in such good hands. I forgot to pack enough food for the second day, and they stepped in without hesitation to make sure she was fed and well taken care of, which I really appreciated. Their yard is nice and fully fenced in, making it a safe and fun space for the dogs to play. Parker clearly had a great time she slept the entire day when she got home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl. We will definitely be using you again!”
“Kallie is very kind and very knowledgeable about dogs. My Charlie was given a lot of attention and excellent care during his stay in her home. I amany photos daily, which eliminated my anxiety about leaving him in someone else's home. I will definitely hire Kallie again to keep my Charlie when I have to travel.”
“My first time away from the pups and frankly I was nervous. Aric kept me informed on them and it was obvious they were treated like they were “family”. It gave me peace of mind and I was able to enjoy my time. ( I think they ? also enjoyed their “staycation” from me ?)”
“I cannot say enough good things about Darlene and her family. I left my 3 month old puppy Annie with them and I got pictures every day of her having the best time of her life! Their home is absolutely perfect for dogs and you can tell from talking to her that she absolutely loves them! Annie had playmates and wonderful care. It's like she went to puppy camp and I bet she cannot wait to go back!”
“Lyndsey was great with our pups! This was our first time leaving them with someone they didn't know, so we were nervous...but she sent us plenty of updates and pictures which eased our minds. We definitely recommend her and I'm sure we will be using her again in the future.”
“Cynthia is a 10/10 Trusted Sitter. If I could give her over 5 stars on Rover, I most certainly would without hesitation. The ‘start to end’ booking process was seamless and she was excellent to communicate with. She was beyond accommodating and all I needed to really know upon pick up was how my Tegan behaved. She did not want to leave Cynthia’s side which was a GREAT sign. Thank you Cynthia and Miles for opening your new, clean home to Tegan and spending time with her. Having to travel often for work doesn’t make it easy leaving my dog daughter behind but knowing she’s in good hands with you and close by, makes a world of a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this service as an option here in Polk County, TN!!! Looking forward to our next Rover boarding with you in a couple of weeks!”
“Tucker enjoyed the other dogs and had a great time at Brittney’s. She sent reports and pictures often and she would be my first choice in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of our little boy.”
“WE had them care for our 2 dogs for 9 nights due to us traveling to Chicago for a medical procedure for my husband. We received text and pic updates that made us feel good about knowing that our dogs are in good care. Thank you for everything that you did to make our boys feel at ease and comfortable during their stay. Marty & Olga”
“Melissa was so great with our dog. We received many updates, and she was so quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog for boarding or daycare. We will be booking with her again soon”
“Shannon was great with Maggie, sent pictures of her throughout the day, was understanding and flexible when I was arranging dates (waiting for grandbaby to be born!), and Maggie enjoyed herself very much while in her care. Thanks, Shannon!”
“Christine and her family took wonderful care of my girl while I was out of town! She sent frequent photos and updates and was flexible when I needed to drop her off early. My dog had a blast with them!”
About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.
“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”
“Smokeybear did well. Christina took very good care of him. I could tell she loves all animals and treated Smokey as one of her own pets. He seemed very happy after his stay there Thank you Christina.”
“Super sweet and accommodating! We had a cancellation and needed a last minute babysitter, and Laura helped us out no questions asked! She sent us updates everyday, and even had extra collars when we forgot ours. Our puppy seemed to get along great with her pets/family, so I’d definitely recommend Laura if your pup enjoys running around and socializing. I will definitely be rebooking!!!”
“Bethani was an amazing sitter ! She took great care of my baby girl, Keke and kept me informed during her stay including sending pictures. I will be using her again shall I ever need this service again. 10/10 recommend Bethani!”
