“We are delighted to have found the sitter of our dreams! The property and home are a sporting dog's Disney World. Viviana has a loving nature with dogs and their owners! This is our first Rover.com experience. We will definitely re-book! ”
“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!”
“Elizabeth was the most lovely dog-sitter for our 2 English Springer Spaniels!! It felt like we were leaving them with a family friend. She let us do a meet and greet to answer any questions beforehand, and she was attentive to their unique needs all throughout their stay. Drop off/pick up was easy, and bonus - her home is v close to the airport. Our dogs are our babies, so it feels so good to know they were safe and happy at Camp Elizabeth! They especially loved their walks with her along the greenway. Elizabeth is a true dog lover - her thoughtful care of our babies gave us peace of mind. Her partner also enjoyed lots of love from our silly noodle pups. Excited to book another stay with her for our next trip!”
“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!”
About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.
“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Keli responded quickly to my request to care for our 2 dogs. We first did a meet and greet which I appreciated. We have one who is a little more anxious then the other, and he felt comfortable. She provided photos and videos and communicated well. She made us feel as ease. We appreciate Keli and her family. We will definitely be using Keli again when that time comes.”
“Always a pleasure, our dog absolutely loves to stay with Cassandra and her family! I know she is happy and well taken care of and that allows me to relax while traveling.”
“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.”
“My dogs stayed for a while with Ann and they had a very good time. Ann sent us daily updates on our dogs and they always looked happy. I will definitely take them back in case I need.”
“Jessica was phenomenal. From our meet and greet to pick up, everything was great. She was caring and took the best care of our Chocolate lab. We will definitely be seeing her again.”
“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!”
“Our pet was treated like one of the family! I was sent photos daily and had absolutely no concerns about how my dog was doing while we were gone. I would definitely use them again!”
“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!”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“We had such a great experience! They were so kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about Jasper while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Jasper had an amazing time and came home happy and well loved. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”
“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!”
“Tami and her family were amazing with our dog, Sunny! We were first time users of the app and bringing him to another home for a long stay. Tami reassured us with frequent messages and pictures. I am quite certain Sunny wanted to stay a couple pm more days ❤️🐶We have found our boarding ‘home’ and so happy we did!”

“Gidget has been great! We have used her multiple times. Our kitty is very shy and she has been very patient and made sure our kitty felt very comfortable. And now they are friends.”
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.
“Taylor was a delight to talk to, and showed a real love of animals. She gets my Bobby- he is the shy guy that loves to eat, but not one to hang out. She took helpful pictures and made my time away, peaceful.”
“Sarah did a great job dropping in on my cats, especially my newer young cat that I just rescued. She checked in every day and made sure they had what they needed. She also helped deal with an unexpected water leak from an upstairs neighbor that occurred while I was away!”
About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
“I was very lucky to have Sarah take care of my dogs the first time I used Rover. She immediately had a great rapport with my pups, both well over 50 lbs and VERY enthusiastic. She sent several updates, photos included, and even walked Lucy and Mabel together. They are so rambunctious that we don't even do that! Also, Sarah was patient with my lack of expertise with the Rover app and even helped me with it. I will feel so much more relaxed now when I leave my pups knowing they are in Sarah's care.”
“Natalie was great with our cat Juniper! She communicated and sent us lots of picture while we were away for the weekend. Natalie is very dependable and professional we will definitely have her sit again!!”
“Michaela was a wonderful caregiver for our three cats while we traveled for a week. She kept them happy while keeping me updated on how they were doing. And she even got our cranky cat to love her and let her give him medication. She’s great!”
About: I wanted to share a bit about my extensive experience with cats, which spans over 10 years of caring for and understanding these incredible creatures. Throughout this time, I’ve had the privilege of being the loving owner of two exceptional cats, Winnie and Jinx, each of whom has taught me invaluable lessons about feline behavior, health, and happiness. My journey began with Winnie, whose playful nature and gentle spirit quickly made her an integral part of my life. Over the years, I’ve learned to understand her subtle cues and unique needs, which has deepened my knowledge of how to provide a fulfilling, enriching environment for cats. Winnie’s curiosity and energy have shown me the importance of creating stimulating spaces that promote mental and physical well-being. Jinx, on the other hand, is more independent but just as captivating. His mysterious demeanor has taught me how to respect a cat’s need for space while ensuring they feel secure and loved. I’ve become adept at reading the signs of when Jinx wants attention versus when he prefers solitude, an essential skill for ensuring that all cats, regardless of temperament, receive the care they need. Through my years of experience, I’ve become proficient in everything from grooming techniques to administering healthcare and understanding cat communication. I take pride in offering individualized care to each cat based on their specific needs and preferences, ensuring that every feline in my care feels comfortable, safe, and valued. I’d love the opportunity to bring my decade of expertise to your cat care needs. Whether you’re looking for assistance with daily care, behavioral advice, or just someone who understands the unique needs of cats, I’m confident that my experience with Winnie and Jinx has prepared me to offer the highest level of service. Thank you for considering me as a trusted partner in your pet care journey. I look forward to the possibility of working together and providing the best care for your cats.
About: I love any and all animals. I have two dogs of my own who are absolutely amazing girls. I also have a horse back home whom I miss and love dearly. I always make sure my dogs are well fed, (probably overfed but hey, they’re happy right?) always loved, and always taken care of when they need it. They are always UTD on shots and never go without yummy treats and unconditional love and cuddles. If your fur babies stay with me they will have a house, but also a home to stay in to make them feel comfortable and at ease while you do your thing! I have playmates of all sizes and ages, and a huge yard to let them wear themselves out! They will always be happy here in my home. I can help with equine as well.
About: I’ve been around cats for years and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve had cats of my own for many years, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ve cared for cats for friends, family, and people I didn’t know personally through pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, giving medication, and making sure cats get the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I also understand that some cats want lots of attention while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for them. I genuinely love cats and treat every pet I care for like I would want someone to treat my own.

“Danita was a perfect host for the day for my Tessa! They seemed to bond instantly and when I picked Tessa up, she was glad to see me but actually ran back up to Damita's door before I got her in the car as to say "goodbye" one more time. They took a walk and Danita has a beautiful home up on a mountain with a fenced yard so Tessa could enjoy the sights and sounds of the mountains as well. She also has other dogs and a cat so ur pet can have playmates. Unfortunately. I was held up in the Pigeon Forge traffic and was very late picking Tessa up, but Danita didn't make me feel bad about it. She was very understanding. She is great with communicating about your pet and sent some truly beautiful pics of my Tessa during her visit. Danita is a very kind and pleasant person and so is her boyfriend. They are truly pet loving people and I couldn't have found a better daycare arrangement for out trip to the Smokies. You won't be disappointed!!! Thank you Danita❤️”

“Tracy provided excellent care to our big pupoy while we were visiting the area. She was very attentive and in tune to his individual needs. She also provided updates and pics to us throughout the day, so we were at ease knowing he was having the time of his life.”
“Reah and her husband are so great! They take wonderful care of my pup, Kida. Kida is always relaxed and happy when I come to get her. They have taken her for walks and they are forgiving of my work schedule. I’m so happy to find good people to take care of my pup! Thanks Reah!”
“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”
“Rachel was so helpful taking care of my sweet puppy even when he wasn’t feeling his greatest the day she had him! She gave regular updates and even offered son advice to help remedy his upset tummy! She is fantastic!”
“Great, super easy to work with sitter! She accepted my booking even though drop off was only 12 hours away which was so helpful after another sitter last minute canceled. She also let me change the pickup time last minute which was so appreciated! She sent pics and played with Mo and was just a super easy and great experience! 10/10 recommend for sure! Very nice home and nice neighborhood and just overall great experience!”
About: Caring for animals has been a constant joy in my life since childhood, and I bring over 25 years of experience as both a pet owner and sitter. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with oral and injectable medications, and able to accommodate pets with special diets or unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies who need training and patience, as well as senior pets who require extra gentleness and support. What sets me apart is the home and environment I provide— Our little farm offers space to explore, a secure fenced yard for safe play, and the love of my entire family. With three children who adore animals, every pet gets an abundance of cuddles, companionship, and supervision. I understand how hard it can be to leave your beloved pets, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life. As a stay-at-home mom, I spend about 80% of my time at home. This allows me to give pets consistent love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My three children, who are all animal lovers, also enjoy providing extra playtime and cuddles, making sure your pet always feels included and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live on a 2-acres with a secure fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash play and exploration. Pets are never left alone for long periods and are treated like part of our family. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, experienced in administering medications, and happy to accommodate special diets or crate training if preferred. Our home is filled with love, supervision, and plenty of cozy spots for relaxation so your pet feels secure and happy.
“Meredith is the absolute best! She's so kind and gentle and patient!l - Springsteen enjoyed his time with her and John so much. He had the best time exploring the woods and playing in her very large and fun backyard. Perfect place to spend time with the best dog loving house! Thank you, Meredith, for all the love and attention you provide. Can't wait for Springsteen to come back for more time at Doyle's Den.”
“Julianne was so wonderful with Andi for doggy day care! Lots of pets, toys, and pictures. Andi got exactly what she needed which was a long nap and snuggles. Julianne was very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use her again if ever in town!”

“Jenny is so wonderful with my dog; whenever we’re in Knoxville we work with her. I can totally rely on her to take good care of my dog, to communicate often and to send lots of pictures 😊”
About: I grew up on a farm in rural Appalachia so I have been surrounded by pets of all different types for as long as I can remember. I learned how to care for them very early on in my childhood and that experience fostered my passionate love for all animals. I believe in caring for them, not just as pets, but members of our families. I am flexible with my routine so I can meet the varying needs of the doggies that stay with us. We can discuss more in depth when you inquire to book. I have a spacious, fenced in back yard that is perfect for zoomies and playtime! My home is open and welcoming. I have lots of space for them to hangout or to relax in their kennel.
“Absolutely amazing! They both were so welcoming with our dogs and I felt they were very happy and content right from getting there! Communication was great and the photos/videos really helped put me at ease. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have taken care of many fur babies since I was 6 years old. Most of the family animals have had health issues that has taught me how to administer medication, give baths, clip nails, and more. Cat and dog friendly! I am available everyday of the week except Sunday 11am-11pm! I can also stay in home over nights upon request. Sundays reserved for sittings only. I currently have two cats who are very shy so I do not offer over night stays in my own home. However, I am more than happy to do over nights in the clients home. I have experience administering medicine by pill & injection. I also have experience in nail clipping & bathing of both dogs and cats. I love all the fur babies out there and am excited for them to love me too!
About: From an early age, I have cared for, rescued, and loved animals of all types. Into adulthood, I have been blessed to be trusted to provide care for several fur babies, small to large. Developing and maintaining ongoing friendships with both the pets, and the owners is important to me. Earning trust and getting invited back is what drives me. I will be honored to meet you, and your four-legged family. Thank you for your consideration! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am passionate about the well being of animals and will be available rain or shine. I believe the safety of your four-legged family member is very important. At my home, my cats are never without. Simply walking, feeding, and providing clean water is not what pet-sitting is all about. Our furry friends also need love and companionship. That, I believe, sets me apart.
“I just want to say that Amy went above and beyond to take my girl on a lovely walk after the rain had fallen. Thank you for making our day you are definitely my top walker this far. I’ll see you soon”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I’ve lived with and cared for animals ranging from small pets to large dogs my entire life, including senior pets and those with special needs. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m attentive, patient, and happy to provide whatever extra care your pet may need. 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. I’m typically available after that and have plenty of flexibility on weekends! My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, even if you’re not sure my schedule will work, just ask! I do not currently have the means to care for pets in my own home, but I am able to meet your pets at home and provide care however necessary!
“Natalie is great. She’s walked and played with both our pups (a small lazy beagle tripod and a huge energetic German Shepherd) a few times. She’s reliable and takes good care of them. We’ll definitely use her in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for all types of pets combined with a highly personalized and attentive approach to care. I treat every pet as if they were my own — learning their unique personality, preferences, and routine so they feel comfortable and happy right away. Above all, I’m deeply committed to building trust with both the owner and the pet. Previous clients often mention how relaxed and joyful their pets are when they return home — that kind of feedback means everything to me. Pet care is something I look forward to and easily weave into my daily life. I’m a real estate agent with full control over my schedule, which means I can stay flexible and give your pets the ample time and focused attention they need. Whether it’s longer visits, mid-day check-ins, or consistent care, I’m able to prioritize them without the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5. A great deal of my work is also be done at home with a laptop while I’m snuggled up on the couch or out on the patio in the sunshine with pets. I genuinely enjoy the responsibility and rhythm of pet care and would communicate regularly with you to make sure your see that your pet feels right at home no matter their choice of daily activities and schedule. My goal is to keep you pet happy and comfortable while maintaining their normal routine while you are away- no matter the type of pet or they’re stage in life. I create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets in my home. I start by learning their normal routine from the owner and do my best to keep it consistent. This means potty breaks matching your normal, fresh water always available, and meals served on their regular schedule with any needed medications. During the day I make sure they get plenty of playtime — whether that’s friend fun in my backyard with my two pups, play with their favorite toys, or gentle training sessions. I also give lots of affection and quiet companionship so they don’t feel lonely. At night, I provide a comfortable sleeping area (crate if preferred) or free range indoors to pick their own comfy place and I always do a final potty break before bed. My home is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of hazards. I’ve cared for several friends’ and family dogs overnight and for extended stays, including high-energy young dogs to calmer senior pups and even stage in between. I send regular updates and photos if desired so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

Each confirmed booking comes with free photos of your fur baby while they are on their adventure!! I have three dogs of my own: Diesel, Callie and Benny. I have owned/been around animals my whole life, and have an extreme passion for animal care. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! Thank you for trusting me with your fur-baby… I promise they are in good hands :) Currently available 24/7: Monday - Friday. 8:30am-6pm. Open to weekends! Holidays as well.

“Danita was amazing, she help me out at the last moment when my scheduled dog walker did not show up. I would recommend her to take care of your fur baby. She even offered to dog sit so my vacation was not stressful due to the other dog walker being a no show.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and people I didn’t personally know through pet sitting. I’m comfortable with everyday care like feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, nail trimming, and giving medication when needed. I also have experience with mild dog training and working on basic manners and routines. I understand that every dog is different. Some need lots of exercise and attention, while others are happier relaxing and sticking to their normal routine. I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions and make sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and treating them like part of the family. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I make sure I have enough time for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I understand how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine, so I do my best to follow the schedule and instructions each owner provides. I’m also flexible when it comes to drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I always make sure I have the time needed to give each pet proper care rather than rushing through a visit. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any specific rules for the home. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks, playtime, and visits. I also take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level so I can help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like I would want someone to treat my own. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and let owners know how their pet is doing while they’re in my care.
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”
About: We have had all types of pets growing up that I have cared for. I have been dog sitting for years for family and family friends as well. I am a college student with a flexible online schedule!! I am available to sleep over if your pet needs overnight company as well. Message me and I can work around whatever your pet needs. Feel free to check out the pictures I have up on my profile of the animals I have taken care of:) I feed and give water, clean up after as needed, go for walks and play. I love taking them to the dog park as well and have a safe vehicle if that is an option you are willing to trust me with.
About: Growing up I lived on a farm with lots of shelties. I used to participate in agility with my dogs and I love going for walks and being active. I'm comfort with dogs and cats.

I'm flexible and want to work with your schedule to care for your fur baby. I will follow detailed instructions. I have a fenced in back yard and keep the grass cut. At the moment I don't have any animals but that just means more time loving yours!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds & fish my whole life. I worked in a vet’s office for 2 years. I am skilled in taking proper care of animals! I am a recent masters graduate of Milligan University, and I am free most days during the day. I also have availability on the weekends. I am able to take your dogs on walks throughout the day and give them proper exercise while you are not home!! I love making sure your pet is happy!!

I walk my dogs every day even when it was cold out for many years. I understand how important it is for a dog to be walked, it's best for their health. I've rescued all my dogs, and have been devoted to the end. My home is clean and spacious, I leash my dog every time he goes out, as I would yours. I have a natural affection and love for all dogs. I take this position seriously, your dog is family and safe with me. I'm not working full time now, so I have the time to devote to you pup or cat. Please give me a days notice. Since we are in heavy tick and flea season please make sure your pup doesn't have any and is treated in case. Thank you I have a backyard with a tether, I go for walks in my neighborhood with mine every day. I'm right by a park and take pups there too.
About: With 10 years of experience in caring for dogs, I’ve developed an unmatched understanding of canine behavior, health, and happiness. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of sharing my life with some truly special dogs, each of whom has shaped my approach to pet care in unique ways. My journey began with my beloved Sparkles Jane, whose sweet and gentle nature taught me the true meaning of loyalty and companionship. She was more than just a pet; she was a friend, a teacher, and a source of endless love. While Sparkles Jane is no longer with me, the lessons I learned from her continue to guide my care for all dogs I encounter. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for Patches, whose playful spirit and affectionate personality brought joy to every moment. Through these years, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and the deep emotional bond that forms between a dog and their caregiver. Now, I’m lucky enough to spend time with my sweet Beau Beau and Chippy, two dogs who continue to hold a special place in my heart. I absolutely love house-sitting for Beau Beau and Chippy, providing them with comfort and companionship whenever I’m back home. Their personalities are a perfect reminder of why I’m so passionate about what I do—every dog is unique, and they all deserve love, attention, and care tailored to their needs. Having lived with dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of building trust and creating a safe, positive environment where dogs feel comfortable and loved. Whether it’s providing extra care for a senior dog or engaging in playful activities with a younger dog, I know how to cater to their individual needs with kindness, expertise, and a lot of love.

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 delighted to have found the sitter of our dreams! The property and home are a sporting dog's Disney World. Viviana has a loving nature with dogs and their owners! This is our first Rover.com experience. We will definitely re-book! ”
“Elizabeth was the most lovely dog-sitter for our 2 English Springer Spaniels!! It felt like we were leaving them with a family friend. She let us do a meet and greet to answer any questions beforehand, and she was attentive to their unique needs all throughout their stay. Drop off/pick up was easy, and bonus - her home is v close to the airport. Our dogs are our babies, so it feels so good to know they were safe and happy at Camp Elizabeth! They especially loved their walks with her along the greenway. Elizabeth is a true dog lover - her thoughtful care of our babies gave us peace of mind. Her partner also enjoyed lots of love from our silly noodle pups. Excited to book another stay with her for our next trip!”
“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!”
About: I am a caring and attentive individual who absolutely loves my pets and treats them like family. Located near the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. My home is the perfect home away from home for you pet while you enjoy your vacation. I occasionally care for my neighbors pets with drop in visits at their home when they are out of town. I am home all day with my fur babies. I would be able to care for your pet and give it all the attention and love it needs. I have a fence, but not completely closed. We are working on getting that done soon. I do have a small fence closed in around my patio so the dogs can freely hang outside with me. During potty breaks I will make sure to have your pet out with a leash at all times. I have 2 friendly dogs as well. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that also.
“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Keli responded quickly to my request to care for our 2 dogs. We first did a meet and greet which I appreciated. We have one who is a little more anxious then the other, and he felt comfortable. She provided photos and videos and communicated well. She made us feel as ease. We appreciate Keli and her family. We will definitely be using Keli again when that time comes.”
“My dogs stayed for a while with Ann and they had a very good time. Ann sent us daily updates on our dogs and they always looked happy. I will definitely take them back in case I need.”
“Jessica was phenomenal. From our meet and greet to pick up, everything was great. She was caring and took the best care of our Chocolate lab. We will definitely be seeing her again.”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“We had such a great experience! They were so kind, communicative, and clearly cared so much about Jasper while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Jasper had an amazing time and came home happy and well loved. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Joseph was wonderful! Very welcoming and friendly. After the meet and greet, I knew Sioux would be in good hands. Joseph made sure to send pictures and videos everyday and Sioux was tuckered out when I picked her up. I'm glad that I found a great local sitter and will be reaching out to Joseph for future vacations!”
“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! 🖤”
“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!”
