“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”
“Cassie and her family are so great with Grainger. They treat him as one of their own. He’s always excited to go to their home. So glad we found them for when we go away.”
“Nancy did an excellent job caring for Jimmy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, she was kind, professional, and very communicative. She kept me updated and made sure Jimmy was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during his entire stay. It was clear that she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing Jimmy was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.”
“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!”
“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
“Viviana is fantastic! She really went above and beyond to provide special attention and care to my nervous pup. By the time I went to pick my pup up, it seemed like she didn’t even want to leave! They sent so many updates, photos, videos, etc that I barely even had to miss my pup while she was staying with them too!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“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❤️❤️❤️”
“Caitlin is an angel for taking care of my wild child. She was very communicative and super accommodating and I could not appreciate her more for taking my kiddo in last minute. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth has always been great and very accommodating! Her family has been a great place for us to leave our dog Lexi. We have left our dog there multiple times and will definitely again when we are back in the area.”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Sampson absolutely loves to go to Bethany's house. We are so thankful that we have somewhere for Sampson to go when we are out of town that we know is a safe place that he enjoys. Bethany is very flexible and easy to work with. She is truly the best dog sitter around.”
“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!”
“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!”

“Leslie agreed to meet the dogs before her first visit and is very understanding of their different needs. She gave them more time to play than I expected and was patient with my fearful dog. Thank you!”
About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers
“I love how responsive Cara is. She always gets right back to me, is available and pleasant, and my shy kitty actually came out to see her! Looking forward to having her care for my kitties!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jen is absolutely the BEST pet sitter ever!! She treated my kitties like royalty! She sent pictures every day and spoiled them rotten. Our cats barely noticed we were gone. We had great peace of mind knowing they were getting spoiled rotten by a person who genuinely loves pets. You can't go wrong with Jen!”
“I was really worried when I had to find someone to care for my cat, Pippin, last minute but Ami was quick to respond and was an amazing help. And Pippin really seemed enjoyed the attention that she gave him.”
“Janine was wonderful and super flexible to offer drop-in visits to our pups in our AirB&B while our family had a day exploring non dog-friendly trails. She sent plenty of pics and notes and the dogs were much happier when we returned.”
“Haley took such good care of my babies. She even came over before to meet them with me there & I felt 100% safe leaving them in her care. Will definitely reach back out in the future!! Thank you Haley!! ?”
“Zach was responsive, helpful, and laid back. It was great to be able to drop our cat off for a few hours so we could enjoy the Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge and not have to worry.”
“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.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for and grooming cats through my pet care background and business experience. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box care, grooming needs, medications if needed, and overall behavior changes, and I always keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I adopted my cat, Pumpkin, from the animal shelter. She was very scared and timid at first, and it took a lot of patience waiting for her to get comfortable. Now, she’s traveled across the country with me and loves to cuddle! She isn’t declawed, so I can handle some playful, feisty kitties.
“Kim was absolutely wonderful with our older kitty, Georgia Mae! She came to our home a bit early so that she could meet us and our Kitty. I was hesitant to have anyone watch our kitty, because yes, I’m an overprotective fur baby mama, and could not bring myself to put her in anyone’s care but my own. Let me tell you, letting go, and letting Kim take care of her was one of the best things I’ve ever done! Kim was so loving to Georgia Mae, she showed her caring and love of fur babies right away, and our Lil girl went right up to Kim in trust....great sign! I am already looking at other dates in the near future for Kim to again show her love for Georgia Mae, and sweet manner with myself and my husband. She is the best! Thank you Kim! Thank you Rover! We now have a wonderful new friend of our family!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs for a couple years and watch my friends pets when needed. Would love to help with everyone else and make sure that the animals are taken care of! I am available almost every day all day besides the job I work at night! I make sure everyday to give my dog some exercise and play with her before I head off to my job. She gets fed twice a day and I also work with my dog daily to train her. I have a fenced in yard to keep the dogs safe and still go out and have some playtime. I have one friendly small dog who loves to play and would keep the others company.

“Excellent dog sitter! Tracey watched Dexter while my family and I went to Gatlinburg for the day. She accommodated our schedule and was flexible with pickup and drop off times. Dexter was very cozy and enjoyed his stay!”
“Shyann was so kind and patient with me as the owner and absolutely doted on Charlie. She sent me multiple updates and photos through the day so I knew Charlie was having as much fun away from me as possible. I felt so safe leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her!”

“Tracy was AMAZING🌸🤍😊 great communication throughout the day and even a photo shoot of Ribby. Tracy was soo kind and even offered to feed Ribby chicken and rice for Ribby’s sensitive stomach. Tracy went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations! I wish we lived closer to her, so we could do more date days! Highly recommend!! Thank you Tracy! Love Ribby”
“I had a church event to attend, but my plans for my dog Gibbs didn't work out. I reached out to Ryan for last-minute daycare, and he responded within 15 minutes saying he could take care of him for the day. I dropped Gibbs off and felt very at ease knowing he was with Ryan. Throughout the day, I received seven updates and pictures showing how Gibbs was doing. When I picked him up, he seemed happy and had been well looked after. I'm planning to drop Gibbs off again in two days. This is the second occasion that Ryan and his family have taken care of my dog, Gibbs. When I got there to drop him off, Ryan came out to greet him, and Gibbs was thrilled to see him. Throughout the day, I received both pictures and a video showing the fun he was having with the family's dogs. I believe that Gibbs really enjoys his time with Ryan and his family. He always seems joyful when I come to pick him up. I can easily tell he has had an exciting day since he sleeps very soundly at night.”
“Sarah was AMAZING! She saved us on our trip to the smokies when we had nowhere to leave our 2 pups on the last day. She was super accommodating and best of all, our boys had the best time! If we’re in the area again, I would use Sarah again for sure knowing my babies are safe and happy too!”
“Emily was able to help us out a few times when we moved to town and we didn’t want to leave our pup alone in a new house. She took him on several walks and even to the dog park, both which Farley loves to do. We really appreciate her taking him into her home and taking such good care of him.”
“Danita was so great with us and our dog Lady! It was the first time we were leaving her with a sitter at their house, and because of all the traumatic things Lady’s gone through in her past before being rehomed with us I am extra protective of her. I also have a lot of dog work experience so I was excited to see Danita’s profile and knew Lady would be in good hands. Danita sent us photos and updates during her daycare stay and made us feel so at ease. We will definitely be using her again for future daycare stays!!”
“Gunner had the best time playing with his new friends! Michelle is an excellent communicator and very attentive to the various needs of dogs (and people). I loved the photos, captions, and video updates she sent throughout the day. Gunner was a happy, tired pup at pick-up! I definitely recommend Michelle and will use her service again when we return.”
About: I grew up on a farm in Illinois. I’ve been around furry friends all my life. I’ve had all kinds of pets since I was young. From betta fish to bottle caIves! I currently have two dogs of my own and some fish! When I say I love animals it is an understatement. I have experience with bottle feeding foster puppies and giving medication. I’m a stay at home mom so I am home all the time. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I will be able to work with what you need. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask! I like to take my dogs on walks to keep myself and them happy! They will have full access to our home. I can stick to any schedule or rules you may need me to.
“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.”
“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!”
“She’s awesome!! She provides you with pictures and videos all day! She accommodated my baby well because he had just gotten neutered. I’m definitely coming back to her!”
“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.”
About: I’m a natural dog lover with a lifelong connection to animals. I’ve had four Great Danes as part of my family, so I’m very comfortable caring for large breeds and understanding their unique personalities. Spending time outdoors with dogs has always come naturally to me, and I have a strong nurturing instinct that makes caring for animals feel effortless and rewarding. I am very free this summer for June and July. My schedule is very flexible as I am a teacher and I'm not working right now. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my home. I live in a large house with plenty of space and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play, relax, and explore safely. I enjoy daily walks and spending time outdoors, and there’s no better way to enjoy that time than with a pet by my side. I’m attentive, nurturing, and committed to making sure every pet feels loved, secure, and part of the family while they’re with me.
“Adam es el mejor, se preocupó mucho por el bienestar de Bella y nos mantuvo informados con fotos y videos todo el tiempo! Es mi primera vez dejando a mi bebé con alguien y estaba indecisa pero Adam hizo que nos sintiéramos muy tranquilos durante todo el día. Gracias gracias!!”

“Susan took great care of our pup Fozzie while we were visiting the Gatlinburg area. She was communicative, flexible, and patient with us figuring out our schedule, and she was wonderful with Fozzie. We got photos during her visit and had peace of mind that all was well while we were out exploring the area.”

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!”
About: I have always been an avid animal lover. I’ve owned dogs big and small all throughout my life. I began dog walking when I was 12 years old, as well as pet sitting. When I was 14 I got a job at an animal shelter, there I worked with a large variety of animals from small animals, to cats, dogs, horses etc. When I was 16 years old I took two years of an animal science class in high school. With these two years I was able to become a certified vet assistant. I had that job until I moved here to Tennessee. I am cpr certified for dogs of all sizes, I also have been trained in basic grooming so I can assist in bathing your dog, clipping their nails, etc. I have complete open availability and can work around your schedule and what you feel is best for your pet. In September I will start college so my availability will change slightly. I love playing with pets with their toys, wether it’s throwing a ball or playing with a cat wand toys etc. I believe it’s super important to read the signals the pets are giving you wether they want to be left alone, want pets, or want to play.
“Jennifer “Grace” was amazing!! We had a last minute event pop up & requested her dog walking services and she was able to accommodate us on super short notice. She was extremely responsive, timely & sent us plenty of photos of our pup while he was in her care. We would definitely recommend!”
“Wonderful. Communication was key- sends updates and pictures! Our dogs were very happy and exercised! Rachel is willing to jog/run with your dogs, not just walk them!! She made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be asking Rachel to care for our pets again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of dogs in many sizes. From having a 6lb Pomeranian to having a 130lb chocolate lab! I can walk, feed and entertain pets of all kinds. I am able to administer medication to dogs, and ensure they receive the treatment needed. I work during the week full time but I am available in the afternoons on Friday and all day on Saturdays/Sundays. My schedule follows the school system calendar therefore, I have many breaks in between. I have the months of June/July off and am available all day those days. I will make sure all requests are fulfilled and that all pets are happy and healthy. I understand how precious pets are and will ensure that they are well taken care of. I will send pictures and videos throughout my visit reassuring you that your pet is in good hands. My dogs are my family and I couldn’t imagine treating them as anything less.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs for a couple years and watch my friends pets when needed. Would love to help with everyone else and make sure that the animals are taken care of! I am available almost every day all day besides the job I work at night! I make sure everyday to give my dog some exercise and play with her before I head off to my job. She gets fed twice a day and I also work with my dog daily to train her. I have a fenced in yard to keep the dogs safe and still go out and have some playtime. I have one friendly small dog who loves to play and would keep the others company.
“Haley and her fiancé were absolutely amazing, I can’t say enough great things about them both. We were in pigeon forge for our wedding and Haley and her fiancé walked our pups a couple times a day for multiple days and were always so punctual, great at communicating and the pups loved them! We will 10000% reach out to them when we are in pigeon forge again!”
About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
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.

We are so thankful for Kristy and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Viviana is fantastic! She really went above and beyond to provide special attention and care to my nervous pup. By the time I went to pick my pup up, it seemed like she didn’t even want to leave! They sent so many updates, photos, videos, etc that I barely even had to miss my pup while she was staying with them too!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“Caitlin is an angel for taking care of my wild child. She was very communicative and super accommodating and I could not appreciate her more for taking my kiddo in last minute. Thank you!”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“Sampson absolutely loves to go to Bethany's house. We are so thankful that we have somewhere for Sampson to go when we are out of town that we know is a safe place that he enjoys. Bethany is very flexible and easy to work with. She is truly the best dog sitter around.”
“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!”
“We contacted Zach at the last minute for an urgent boarding request. He was immediately responsive and happy to help, we dropped the dogs off within an hour of contacting him. He took careful note of all the care instructions we gave him and was calm when we were frantic about our situation. He was flexible and was able to accommodate our need to adjust the pick up time. Our dogs were happy and calm when we picked them up. Our bigger dog loved playing with Zach’s dog while we were away, and as a picky eater we were pleased she ate both her meals while at Zach’s. Thank you so much Zach, our vacation savior!”
“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! 😊”
“We really appreciate Joseph taking care of Teddy. Teddy didn't want to leave when we picked him up. Its always hard to leave your pet but Joseph made us feel at ease instantly.”
“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!”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.
