“Meredith and her partner are absolutely AMAZING. We are so glad we found them. We haven't left our dogs in over 2 years and decided to finally take a trip without the dogs, and I didn't worry at all. After our meet and greet, my husband and I said...."they speak dog" and they really do! They understand dog communication and their needs and are very attentive. They went above and beyond for our dogs, sent updates with photos, are very kind and reliable. We will absolutely hire them again over and over.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing! Our two large, high-energy labs had the best time with her. She kept them active, happy, and well cared for, and she sent us lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our dogs in her care. Heather was also very responsive and quick to answer all of our questions. We would gladly trust her with our pups again!”
“My pups loved Jessica, as did I! You will not find a more caring sitter for your little or big ones. From the pics I received I could tell they had fun and were very well cared for, I highly recommend Jessica!”

I have experience administering medications, giving baths, and providing enrichment time for shelter cats to keep them comfortable, stimulated, and stress-free.

Most times my travel plans are decided late, and I contact her on short notice and she is able to accommodate me. Communication with her is also great.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, long before my family ever adopted our own. We rescued our first dog when I was 7 and loved him up through his grey fur and blindness. I pride myself on understanding animals needs and boundaries. I am currently working a part-time job as well as pet sitting on Rover. I am available before 4pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and anytime on weekends! I will always leave a space better than a found it, no waste left behind. Animals will always be put first when under my care.

“natalie was incredible! she came over for a meet and greet and left great notes after every visit. lots of photos of my happy girls! i would definitely recommend her”
“Sabrina is delightful, dependable, and a wizard at making our extremely shy cat come out of hiding for treats. She gives a real sense of what our little creature is up to while we are gone. We awaited anxiously for her beautiful photos each day. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We are engaging her again in a few days and will continue to book her for all our future trips.”

I can take your dogs on walks, I can play with them outside. I can easily crate them. I have handled all kinds of dogs: big, small, crazy, low-energy, etc.
About: While running my pet care business in Longmeadow, MA for 8 years, I regularly house sat for cats, many of them seniors who needed daily medication and extra attention. I know older cats thrive on routine, so I stick closely to your schedule for meals, meds, and playtime, and I keep a close eye on appetite, litter habits, and energy so I can flag anything unusual right away. I'm patient with shy or nervous cats and let them warm up on their own terms. My Navy background means I'm dependable and detail-oriented, and I don't miss a dose. You'll get updates and photos during every stay, so you can relax knowing your cat is comfortable and cared for at home.
“Veronica is the best with Stormy. She is not a very friendly cat and Veronica has won her over. She is timely and follows the instructions I leave for her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Lauren watched our cat while we were out of town, and as always, our cat loved her! In fact, he rarely sits in anyone’s lap, and there were pictures that she sent us where he was sitting in her lap. It was so cute! She’s clearly a cat whisperer. Can’t wait to hire Lauren again! She’s the best!!”

“Braleigh took wonderful care of Friedrich. Her children, dogs, and husband all contributed to making his day special. I was delayed picking him up due to traffic and she was very understanding. 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”
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Buddy hasn't been here at all this year because of our own travels but he got excited as soon as we turned on the street. He knew where he was! As soon as I opened my door he jumped over the seat and out the door and ran to the gate, eager to meet new dog friends! We always feel good leaving Buddy with Michael and family because he is well loved there and he loves playing with all the other dogs!!”
“Lisa is very professional and nice. My puppy obviously had a good day with her, I also received various photos of Mica during the stay. Highly recommend to friends and pawrents!”
“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.”

Whether it’s playtime, medications, or quiet companionship, I make sure your furry family feels safe and loved — and you’ll always get updates for peace of mind!

I also send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for.
About: I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home away from home.

I focus on personalized care, regular updates, and creating a fun, stress-free experience so you can feel confident your pet is happy while you’re away. Working from home and being a stay-at-home mom means your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to provide a safe, consistent, and caring environment where pets feel like part of the family. Safety, trust, and love are at the heart of my care. Your dog will enjoy a secure, family-friendly home with a fenced yard, attentive supervision, and plenty of affection while you’re away.

About: I have had Chihuahuas, med-poodle mix, and Maltese dogs, so I prefer small to medium size dogs. I am very careful with dogs, so I will make sure they are happy and safe.

My dog is almost 1 yr old, so very friendly and playful. I have a fenced in back yard and covered patio, so if they prefer playing outside, there is a safe area. My home is mostly carpet. I have a large portable pen if needed for extra supervision. My neighborhood is great for taking walks.

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. 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 tons of photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I offer dog walking, 30-90min drop in visits for dogs and cats (all sizes and ages, I love em all!), and boarding dogs in my apartment. I do not do house sitting (staying in your home overnight), or boarding cats at my home (sadly, my husband is super allergic to cats.) But I know a few awesome people that do, so feel free to reach out if you are having trouble finding a great house sitter! 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. :)
“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.”

“Emily is a wonderful walker, she keeps pace with my big boy. Fast walk or a lazy walk, and I love the pictures she sends with each walk. I would highly recommend Emily.”
About: From 2018 to 2026 I owned and ran Biscuit's Dog Services in Longmeadow, MA, caring for 40 recurring clients' dogs. In 8 years I kept a 5-star satisfaction rating and had zero safety incidents, thanks to strict safety habits on every walk and visit. Most of my business came from referrals, and many clients stayed with me for years. I have worked with every type of dog from energetic puppies to quiet seniors that need extra care. Before that, I served 4 years in the U.S. Navy, where I led teams, handled high-pressure situations calmly, and learned that showing up on time and following through matter most. I've recently moved to Knoxville and am bringing the same dependable, safety-first care to the Cedar Bluff area. Your dog's routine, feeding, and comfort come first, and you'll get an update after every visit. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I have wide-open availability, including early mornings, midday walks, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I'm very flexible and happy to work around your schedule, whether you need a daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or overnight house sitting while you're away. Just reach out, and I'll do my best to make it work. I provide all care in your home, so your pet stays comfortable in their own familiar space. Before the first booking, I'll meet you and your pet to learn their routine, feeding and medication schedule, quirks, and your vet's contact info. On walks, I double-check collars, harnesses, and leashes before heading out, and I always keep dogs leashed and under control. Over 8 years running my own pet care business, I kept a 5-star rating and zero safety incidents. I treat your home with the same respect: doors locked, keys secure, everything left the way I found it. You'll get photo updates after every visit through Rover.
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!

I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention so pet parents can feel confident while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care.

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.
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. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. 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’ve always been a huge animal lover, and as a Bernese Mountain Dog owner myself, I know just how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. Having a big dog of my own also means I’m very comfortable caring for and handling larger breeds! I’m attentive, dependable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medications, or just lots of love and company while you’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, needs, and little quirks, and I’ll make sure they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I’m also a big believer in keeping owners updated, so you can expect plenty of pictures and check-ins while your pet is with me! I am flexible to work around anyone’s schedule! I work from home so I won’t be restricted on time. I don’t mind to do early mornings! I love being able to care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any other special needs your pet may have. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality—whether they want lots of attention and cuddles or prefer a little more space while they get to know me. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll always send pictures and updates so you know exactly how they’re doing!
About: I’ve always LOVED animals of any kind. (Used to want to be a vet but realized it was too hard to see animals in distress). We’ve had dogs and cats in our home since I was a little girl. I’ve had over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and other small pets for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a sweet spot for animals and would do my upmost best to ensure your baby is taken care of to the best of my abilities. I will treat your pet with the same care I would my own. My personality is this: patient, calm, gentle, and detail oriented. I also believe heavily in communication and will always appreciate a pet owner who also likes communication. Communication is very important to me because I want to make sure I can do my job to the best of my abilities. I currently have my own 1 year old terrier and have done everything from potty training, crate training and obedience training. I want all of my customers to rest assured their fur babies will get the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible so I can have the time to take care of your pets! I work throughout the week including weekends and can take your pet out as frequently as they need. Just reach out and let me know what you’re looking for. I have a fenced in yard outside, suited for small to medium dogs. I also live in a neighborhood that is suitable for walking your pet if you would like. I also make sure that my home is free of any dangers or anything toxic to any pets. I raised both puppies and kittens and know how to properly ensure animals are taken care of appropriately.
About: I have experience with many kinds of animals. I myself have my 13 year old dog Royal, a 11 year old leopard print gecko, and two hermit crabs who are about to turn 6 years old from their time in my care. I also regularly pet sit for my family and friends. A few examples are my friend who owns two Dobermans. My cousins 2 cats. Or occasionally my Mimi’s farm to feed and care for her 8 dogs, her cat, and a donkey and a horse. I don’t have a set schedule at this moment. I am very open, and can do pretty last minute bookings if I do not have other obligations. I unfortunately cannot provide in home services at this time, however in clients homes I will follow whatever rules, schedules and procedures that are given to me. I am also a very outdoorsy and energetic person so playing or being up will not be a problem.

About: I’m currently a college student, but I only have to be on campus two days a week for a few hours, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’ve completed multiple pet- and house-sitting jobs for friends, family, and people who were referred to me through them. My stays have ranged from a few days to a full week. I have experience caring for small dogs, large dogs, and cats, and I’m comfortable learning and following each pet’s individual routine. I also have two pugs of my own who I regularly care for while my mom is at work and I’m doing my classes from home. Taking care of my own dogs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and making sure they get the attention and care they need. I also have experience caring for both indoor and outdoor houseplants, so I’m happy to help keep your plants and home cared for while you’re away. Over time, I’ve found a special love for caring for animals while their families are away. I know that being away from their family and normal routine can be stressful for pets, and it makes me genuinely happy to be there to give them comfort and attention. I love being able to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for until their family comes home. I understand that pets are family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give every pet the same patience, love, and care that I would want someone to give my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I have two classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with a break between them that gives me time to check on pets if needed. I also currently work as a host about 2–3 days a week, although with school starting I may reduce that to around 2 days a week. I’m careful about balancing my work and school schedule so that I can still be available for the pets I’m caring for. There will never be a day where my school and work schedule keeps me away for an extended period of time without being able to check on your pets. I want you to feel confident that your pets will receive the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout your time away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their walks and exercise, and receive plenty of playtime, attention, and companionship. I also understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow specific instructions and routines that help them feel comfortable while their family is away. For house sitting, I treat my client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to bring in mail, care for indoor and outdoor plants, and keep the home clean and tidy while I’m there. My biggest goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pets and their owners. I want pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home until their family returns. I am no stranger to asking questions when instructions are unclear or if I am unsure about something while house-sitting

“Maggie was so comfortable staying with Paul and his family. Highly recommend! We appreciate them loving on her so much, communicating regularly, and being attentive. Will definitely utilize them again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Frankie! He came home absolutely tuckered out and exhausted, so I know he had a fantastic time playing and getting plenty of exercise. I really appreciate your great communication and care especiallysince this was a bit of a last minute booking. If the need arises, we will definitely be looking to book again!”
“Briggs had an amazing time with Allyson and Tyler! They kept me updated throughout the days with texts and pictures. Will be using them again anytime I’m out of town.”
“Meredith and her partner are absolutely AMAZING. We are so glad we found them. We haven't left our dogs in over 2 years and decided to finally take a trip without the dogs, and I didn't worry at all. After our meet and greet, my husband and I said...."they speak dog" and they really do! They understand dog communication and their needs and are very attentive. They went above and beyond for our dogs, sent updates with photos, are very kind and reliable. We will absolutely hire them again over and over.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing! Our two large, high-energy labs had the best time with her. She kept them active, happy, and well cared for, and she sent us lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving our dogs in her care. Heather was also very responsive and quick to answer all of our questions. We would gladly trust her with our pups again!”
“My pups loved Jessica, as did I! You will not find a more caring sitter for your little or big ones. From the pics I received I could tell they had fun and were very well cared for, I highly recommend Jessica!”

“Kaylee was amazing! Constantly kept me updated and sent so many pics! I felt so comfortable and felt like my pet was taken such great care of. Definitely will be rebooking!”
“We left our 3 month old puppy for the first time. I was nervous leaving her for the first time but Viviana & Brian took very good care of our pup. They sent us pictures each day. Our pup came home happy & well cared for. Definitely recommend Viviana & Brian.”
“My old guy loved staying with Melissa. After our initial meet-and-greet, he went straight up to Melissa and leaned against her for some love the morning I dropped him off. She is very attentive, easy to communicate with, and provides a great home for dogs. I 100% recommend Melissa if you need to find someone to watch your pup.”
“Hanna watched our two corgis for five days while we were out of town and she was very prompt in giving us updates and did a great job taking care of them! Our dogs looked to be having a blast with her corgi as well, we would definitely recommend her to others for dog sitting!”
About: My English Bulldog is my world. Anyone who knows me knows she’s spoiled, adored, and at the center of just about everything I do. She absolutely loves having canine friends around, and while I’m not quite ready to add another dog to our family permanently, I love the idea of giving her the occasional playmate. That’s what inspired me to join Rover. Because of that, my dog’s happiness and safety will always come first. I’m intentional about only accepting dogs who will be a good personality match for her. When the dogs genuinely enjoy each other, everyone has a better experience—including you, knowing your pup is having just as much fun as mine. I work full-time, so I’m primarily available for evening, weekend, and date-night dog sitting. I’m not looking to build a large dog-sitting business—I’m simply hoping to create a safe, fun environment for a few wonderful dogs who become familiar faces. As a fellow dog parent, I’m also always searching for someone I trust to care for my own dog when we have plans or travel. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend with someone else, and I understand the peace of mind that comes from finding the right person. That’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. While I welcome friendly dogs of all breeds, English Bulldogs will always have VIP status in my home. As a Bulldog mom myself, there’s just something special about the breed. I understand their unique personalities, quirks, and care needs. I work full-time, so my availability is primarily geared toward drop-in visits, evening care, weekend care, and date nights. My goal isn’t to become a full-time pet sitter—it’s to help fellow dog parents when they need someone they can trust while giving my own pup the opportunity to make some great canine friends. Your dog will be treated like one of the family while they’re in my home. I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and play, and inside they’re welcome to relax on the furniture right alongside us (if that’s what they’re used to at home!). I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. Because my English Bulldog lives here too, I’ll only accept dogs who are a good personality match so everyone feels safe, comfortable, and has fun together. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with friends—not just being watched
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our Bella and provided daily photos and/or videos of her having the time of her life at “Camp Elizabeth”. We couldn’t be more pleased and will definitely be using her in the future!”
