“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!”
“Jessica loved on our fur babies like they were her own. We were in a bind moving from across the country and needed help fast. She gladly took in our goldens and treated them like they were own. This is a vacation for your dogs! I think they would have been fine staying forever;) She will now be our go to dog sitter!”
“Allyson and Tyler treated my Maddie girl like a member of their family!! They sent updates on her days and pictures! I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs!”
“This was our first time leaving Maverick and Dixie with someone who wasn’t friends or family so we were super nervous. But we had to leave town last minute and could not take them with us. Caillyn got back to us quickly letting us know she could take them in and assured us our dogs would be okay while we were gone. She texted us that first night letting us know the dogs were adjusting well and just exploring. That small update helped me relax immensely. Caillyn reassured us each day our dogs were doing great and sent us pictures of them enjoying outside. We are so grateful we could leave our pups with her and know they were well loved. She made our first Rover experience a good one and we will definitely be using Caillyn again when needed. Thank you so much!”
“Mary is absolutely a fantastic dog watcher! Reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared for my dog Gia. She was very easy to contact and provided daily updates. Highly recommend!”
“Our Barton boy enjoyed every second of being there!! We received picture and video updates the whole time away and could really feel the love they poured into him. You can tell he misses his new friends so much already! 🖤”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Super satisfied with my booking with Ashley. It was my first time using Rover for my senior doggie out of the country, and Ashley made it such a smooth and worry-free process. She was very flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, and she sent picture updates throughout the week. I was nervous about being away from my dog for the first time in the 15 years I've had her, but Ashley's quick responses and communication eased my worries very quickly. Definitely recommend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”
“Felt confident that Scout was being loved and cared for. Penny sent pics and videos and kept us updated on how Scout was doing. Would absolutely recommend Penny and use her again.”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy 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!!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
“Copper loved his stay with Keturah & Tyler! Communication was great before and during his first overnighter. We definitely would recommend Keturah and Tyler and we will be back!”

“Lily has been a wonderful sitter. This was my second booking with her as she is very reliable and communicative. She’s even shown me some helpful tips as a first time pet owner (such as moving the water bowls into a corner so the cats don’t spill them when they have the zoomies). My cats also warmed up to her notably quickly!”
“Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Haley was fantastic! She took such great care of our kitties and we loved the pictures she sent us. It gave us such peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be hiring her again ?”
“Stephanie is wonderful and went above and beyond with our cats! She vacuumed, swept the floor and even washed out the food bowls so that we got home to a clean house and happy kitties!”
“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. 👍🏻”
About: I own my own kitten Named King he is a Maine coon! I love everything about cats they’re so calming for the nervous system! I do have my own designated cat room in my home! I love to send updates through the day of all the fun we have!
About: I was raised with both cats and dogs, I know the importance and difference in caring for these animals! With Cats I will happily snuggle or play with the cat, I am able to read body language and know when to give space. I have helped both young and senior cats🩷
“Crystal is the 3rd sitter I’ve used and the only one I have felt comfortable with. I am not usually one to leave reviews; however, Crystal deserves her flowers! I have 8 cats (insane, I know) which can be overwhelming for me, let alone someone unfamiliar with their routine, medical issues, and the overall volume of duties. Despite this, Crystal took excellent care of my babies (and home), followed instructions, and was very communicative. I would utilize Crystal’s services again and believe others ought to as well.”
“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 have been working professionally with dogs for over a year now. Whether it’s a 5lb chihuahua or a 150lb Great Dane, I’ve worked with them. I am willing to take care of any breed of dog and just about any behavior or medical issues. Jumpy/Mouthy?✅ Undersocialized?✅ Bite History?✅ Resource Guarding?✅ Reactive?✅ Leash puller?✅ Handling Sensitivities?✅ Neds medication?(oral or shot)✅ Needs medicated baths?✅ I have a high passion for animals and have recently started pet sitting full time. Now I can provide your fur babies with all day love, cuddles, and exercise! My previous line of work helps me learn how to deal with behavioral and medical issues more adequately for pet sitting. I can take care of any special needs that your pet has. I will provide all of the love they want. If your dog is spoiled, I can continue that tradition. If you have specific rules for your dog, I will continue those as well. I will treat your dog as my own
About: I understand that every cat has a unique personality and different needs. Some cats are affectionate and love attention, playtime, and cuddles, while others prefer their space and can be a little more independent- or even a bit sassy! No matter their personality, my goal is always to make your cat feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats and know the importance of respecting their routines, boundaries, and preferences. I will adapt my care, behavior, and schedule to meet your cat’s specific needs, whether that means providing lots of companionship or simply giving them the space they prefer. I treat every cat with patience, kindness, and understanding so they can feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible in their own home.

“My dog loves staying with Jessica. She treats him like part of the family and makes homemade dog treats. He never wants to leave her house when we go pick him up from daycare.”
“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have always been the friend and family member who loves to spoil every fur baby with extra attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve also had experience caring for other people’s pets, including dogs and bunnies, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide them with patience, comfort, companionship, and plenty of love. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve always received positive feedback from the families I’ve helped, and I would love the opportunity to give your fur baby the same love and attention I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a lab assistant working until medical school late 2027. I work in the mornings from 6 AM to 11 AM and then I’m home the rest of the day. I live in a renovated basement space giving your fur baby their own comfortable and peaceful space during their stay. I also have a cat who is very friendly with dogs and is comfortable around other cats. I’m also happy to accommodate pets with allergies, anxiety, or other special needs. If your pet or anyone in your family has allergies, I can keep the animals completely separated during their stay and take extra precautions to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️
“Bella's first stay went very well, Daniella took excellent care of our pup and updated us about how she was doing and sent us pictures. Bella had fun and felt comfortable. We'll be back soon:). Thanks, Daniella!”
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends.

About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do
About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty and get exercise. I love cuddling and making sure they feel special!

“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”
About: I’ve had a pup my entire life, at one point my wife and I had 4 doggies! I have experience with dogs of all stages of life! We live an active lifestyle, but also love to cuddle at night! In the Summer I only work a few hours a day. My wife works from home a couple days a week as well! Your pup would only be alone a couple hours max. I have a large fenced back yard! We try to keep to your pups normal routine. They can either be crated or free roaming depending on your preference when I go run errands. I have a doggie door for my pup to go in and out throughout the day.
“Kenzie is a very kind person and super accommodating. While my anxious dog may not have been the biggest fan of their German shepherd puppy, Kenzie did everything she could to help my dog feel safe and calm; even putting up her own dog in another room during my dog's short daycare stay. She definitely put my dog's needs first, and for that I am grateful.”

About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.

Whether that means accommodating mobility limitations, administering routine care, cleaning up accidents, or simply providing some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I’m a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my weekdays are generally busy with classes until noon.

Feel free to reach out, even if you’re not sure my schedule will work, just ask!

My goal here is to make sure your dog is happy and stress free while you’re away!🐾 I currently work part time. I have every weekend off. And 1 day thru out the week off.

About: I've cared for many animals for most of my teenage and adult life. I have cat and dog sat, dog walked, and even cared for my sister's snake when she traveled. In college, one of my four roommates had a cat. Besides the cat's mom, I was a close second and the designated cat sitter when my roommate was out of town. Finally, after college, I became a pet owner myself. I first adopted a gecko and then my dog a few years later. My 1.5 year old dog was not house trained when my husband and I got her, and had to start at square one. After taking charge of much of her training, our dog Pinto Bean is fully house and crate trained, can walk calmly, and do several tricks. My schedule at the moment is pretty open. I have availability Monday-Friday 6am- 3pm. I just quit my last job without another one lined up so I'm flexible until I find a job with health insurance. I use a lot of praise and treats to incentivize correct behavior. I'm a calm person and will patiently wait until we get it right. I also love having fun playing with animals.
“She is so great with our little Jolene. She is someone I can trust very very good I can't say enough good things about her. Thanks so much for taking such great care of our fur baby”
About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.

“Jessica loved on our fur babies like they were her own. We were in a bind moving from across the country and needed help fast. She gladly took in our goldens and treated them like they were own. This is a vacation for your dogs! I think they would have been fine staying forever;) She will now be our go to dog sitter!”
“Allyson and Tyler treated my Maddie girl like a member of their family!! They sent updates on her days and pictures! I highly recommend them for your dog sitting needs!”
“This was our first time leaving Maverick and Dixie with someone who wasn’t friends or family so we were super nervous. But we had to leave town last minute and could not take them with us. Caillyn got back to us quickly letting us know she could take them in and assured us our dogs would be okay while we were gone. She texted us that first night letting us know the dogs were adjusting well and just exploring. That small update helped me relax immensely. Caillyn reassured us each day our dogs were doing great and sent us pictures of them enjoying outside. We are so grateful we could leave our pups with her and know they were well loved. She made our first Rover experience a good one and we will definitely be using Caillyn again when needed. Thank you so much!”
“Our Barton boy enjoyed every second of being there!! We received picture and video updates the whole time away and could really feel the love they poured into him. You can tell he misses his new friends so much already! 🖤”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy 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!!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
“Jessica and her family took extra great care of Mr. Bean. We got regular pictures and updates during our trip that kept editing is looking forward to seeing what he was up to with Jessica and her family. We felt relieved and relaxed to know he was being cared for. The 📸 showed he was having a big time!!!”
“Really nice and caring sitter. Our flight got delayed and had to extend Bubble’s stay for an extra day. Hanna was really considerate about all this and took great care of Bubble.”
“Really appreciated this sitter. She sent frequent photos of my dog and it looked like he was having a blast with his “friends.” Would definitely recommend to others and use again in the future. Thank you!”
“Paul & Julie were amazing, such great people! They gave many photo and text updates throughout my pups’ stay and i could tell how well they took care of them just based off how relaxed they were when i came to pick them up! They looked right at home. I can’t recommend Paul and Julie enough!”
“Jordyn was awesome!! We left our fur buddy with her and her partner for 3 and 1/2 days and he was so well looked after. She was great about communicating how he was doing and sent some great photos! Will definitely be booking with Jordyn again in the future!”
“This was our first time to use Caleb. He took excellent care of Koshi and was very accommodating when our schedule changed. This was a great experience for booking we will use again.”
“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”
“My dog loves this home and the people. The last time I dropped her off, she literally darted to the sitter jumping etc so she is definitely happy and taken care of well by Lanelle.”
