About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”
“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”

“It was my first time leaving my baby girl while I went out of town for my daughter’s basketball tournament, and I was definitely nervous. But finding Kaylee was truly a blessing. She immediately put my mind at ease—sending pictures multiple times a day and keeping great communication throughout. Because of her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy the tournament without worrying. Kaylee is amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for your fur baby like their own.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have been a pet sitter since I was in high school! I have experience with puppies and adult dogs and I treat all animals like they are my own! I am on break from school and have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I am available for drop in visits pretty much any time! I am able to give dogs and cats the attention they need during the day while their parents are away. I am flexible throughout the week, whatever you need!
About: I have taken care of dogs that needed to take medicine and have dog-sat one hybrid dog for the past 9 years. Depending on the amount of time I am able to have with the pets, we often go for 3-4 hour long walks/runs a day. I do work full time away from home. I’m looking to make some extra money while in-between jobs so I can pay bills. But I am extremely passionate about animal care, and I’m hoping if this turns into something long-term then both you and I will be happy. I am unable to provide home services through my own place because my complex does not allow animals. But the environment I can provide is walks, jaunts to dog parks and—if permitted—hikes on fun trails.

“Nathan and Amanda took care of Josie on Memorial Day when it was really hard to find care. She was there for 5 1/2 hours and within the first few hours I was getting pictures. She did so well with their very young children. It was great to see how she fit right in like she was part of the family. I could tell she had a good time, she wanted to stay. They summarized everything she did- potty breaks, feeding and water breaks. All this included plenty of pictures. They are a very loving family that showed great care for Josie. I was very happy for that.”

Bralieigh sent numerous text updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond! I would not hesitate to have her care for Friedrich again. Dale B”

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 have lived with/cared for dogs my entire life, and though I would consider myself a “dog-person” - I love spending time with all animals! I work from home so I have tons of flexibility for daily drop-ins, walks, and boarding needs. I have an almost-3 year old dog at home that I take on multiple daily walks, as well as a fenced in backyard, and she loves hanging out with new friends! I have been fostering for the last year, so have welcomed many different temperaments into our home and have gained experience in administering medication and dealing with high stress/anxiety animals, and can read body language extremely well. I can accommodate many different needs for any pet - senior dogs and puppies are welcomed. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to meet and hang out with your beloved pets! I work from home, so pups staying with us are rarely left alone except for maybe an hour or so if I need to run errands or have plans. Would prefer all boarding animals to be crate trained, just in case of emergencies. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who loves making new friends! I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of streets to walk and get energy out - and can also offer training, if interested, for mental stimulation as well.
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 the perfect person to watch your fur baby! I work from home, so I can give your baby 24/7 love and attention. I am also 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 every few hours. I live in an apartment, and since I work from home they will be getting ‘round the clock care, supervision, and attention!
About: I have a dog of my own that I have trained who is wonderful and I would love to walk or watch your dog too! I have open availability all day and can provide bathroom breaks or play at any time. Great for puppies! I hope to watch your dog. I can either stop by your place or stay there to watch your dog. I have open availability and I can be very flexible for your dog’s needs.
About: I've had dogs and cats of all sizes ever since I can remember. I currently have two dogs, a 90 pound lab and a 50 pound Weimaraner mix! Both love to be outside, go on walks, and cuddle up! I'd love to help you out in any way shape or form, including, but not limited to, watching your pets, walking your pets, and even letting them out on potty breaks! I work part-time, but my shifts are never longer than 6 hours. In those times, I live with my family- who is also available for our dogs. I love post-dinner walks with my doggies and spending as much time as possible outside with them. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard that's about half an acre, so plenty of space for the doggos to run around! I have two other dogs – a lab and a hound, that left to play but equally as much sleep. They love dogs of all sizes and ages and love to be with cats as well! They're not rough, but definitely high energy.
“Excellent communication about our dog's daycare stays. Having Lisa's dog there is a big plus for our dog's socialization. Drop offs and pick ups were smooth. Our dog must have enjoyed being there as on the second and remaining day drop offs, he got out of the car and ran to Lisa's front door! We will certainly have her watch our 105 lb. Black Lab in the near future, if only for him to have a change of pace!”
“Brady loves Michael and we love to see Brady’s excitement when he stays with Michael. It’s a blessing to be able to drop him off and to know that he’s being cared for as if he was with a close relative. Thanks Michael!”
“Great place for my dog to spend the day, we will definitely utilize the services this family provides again. They treated us and our dog as family, very warm and welcoming atmosphere. And my dog loved it.”
About: I have had a dog in my life since age 6. I have always had rescue dogs and as many as 8 on a large property. I have lost all but one and don't know if I can take the heartbreak again. To provide boarding or daycare options, my 'dog fix' will be fulfilled and serve your needs also. I have never met a dog that didn't like me, all dogs I have met engage with me quickly. I am a RN and have performed CPR on one of my dogs before bringing him back to life. I give meds to my dog now and have given injections to my dogs in the past. I walk daily and if your dog wants to join me, perfect! I work from home and an empty nester. I am home most afternoons and evenings and will adjust my schedule to be here with your fur kid without large gaps in time. I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door to the backyard if your dog knows how to use one. My neighbor is small with sidewalks for safety. I have a large and medium crate if your dog requires one no need to bring it. They can be on the couch or even sleep in the bed if that is what they are used to. I have a covered patio to protect from the weather elements so your dog can lay outside and enjoy fresh air. Water will be available outside also.

“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.”
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up with cats, a St. Bernard, as well as farm animals including cows and chickens, which gave me experience with pets of all sizes and personalities from an early age. Today, I’m a proud cat person with four cats of my own and a very loved granddog who keeps me active and reminds me how important daily walks and attention are for happy, healthy dogs. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re out of town, whether that means drop-in visits, staying with them, or making sure walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen on schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. My goal is always happy pets and peace of mind for their people. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide reliable walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship while their owners are away. I enjoy building pet care into my day and giving each visit the time and care every animal deserves.

I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect your home, keeping spaces clean and secure while sending updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”
“It was my first time leaving my baby girl while I went out of town for my daughter’s basketball tournament, and I was definitely nervous. But finding Kaylee was truly a blessing. She immediately put my mind at ease—sending pictures multiple times a day and keeping great communication throughout. Because of her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy the tournament without worrying. Kaylee is amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for your fur baby like their own.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Thank you again Heather for taking such good care of Gizmo! He is so excited to get to stay at your house and enjoys playing with all of his furry friends there. 😁”
“Alex and Alexis were wonderful! Cheddar is normally very shy and nervous around new people but he warmed right up to both of them and had a great week with them!! I am so thankful for Alex and Alexis both and would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“For some reason my review didn't go through back when Mabel stayed with them.... Viviana and Brian were amazing and my dog loved their house. One thousand percent recommend.”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rats, taking care of all, whether it's feeding, playing, or general care. Your pets are family and are in good hands, whether it's a sleepover, walk, or playtime with me and 11 year old German Shepard Husky Mix. I work full time, sometimes in the office and sometimes at home. So during the week, depending on location, I can do lunch time walks or after work walks or play. Weekends are prime times for sleepovers and long walks/playtime. Dog sitting in my house only - dogs are part of the family and will be in the house with me and my dog. They're welcome on furniture and throughtout the house. My dog has free reign of the house during the day. If they are crate trained, feel free to bring that, otherwise their own bed so they have comfort away from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for lots of outdoor playtime. Please let me know if there are any needs when overnight or when alone in the house. I can accommodate separate sleeping areas and crating if nnecessary. Dogs must be friendly with other, specifically big dogs.
“Rachel was outstanding in caring for my pup on our two week vacation! She made us feel very comfortable and connected to our furbaby with her photos, videos, and communication. My dog loves to see her pups and to run with them in her big backyard. I count myself lucky to have found Rachel as a newcomer to Knoxville!”
“As soon as we dropped Ace with Kos we knew he was going to be fine, they both connected immediately! Kos is quick to respond which makes coordination a bliss. Drop off and pick up were super easy as well. Thank you Kos for taking care of our Ace!!”
