Highly-rated overnight sitters - Halls Crossroads
“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!”
“Angelica and Elizabeth were wonderful with my fur baby. I missed him like crazy but I knew he was in good hands. I received pictures and videos frequently. I will definitely use them again. They treated him like their own. Thank you”
“Nicole and her family kept our 5 mo old fur baby Archee for 10 days in her home. This was new to us, dog sitters. Both my hubby and I were apprehensive about leaving him. Nicole made us feel comfortable and took excellent care of our baby. He was well loved. We were sent pics while on our vacation so our minds were eased. He was happy and well cared for. We could not have been happier and would certainly use Nicole again. I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
“Lauryn was great! This was our first time actually using Rover and it went very well. Lauryn was very responsive and took Sunny for a weekend on short notice which was really helpful for our family to take a last minute trip. Lauryn sent pictures and updates to let us know how it was going. We didn't have to worry at all. Highly recommend.”
“Mrs. Sandra took such great care of our boy! She sent lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was doing well. She was also always very responsive. They have a wonderful set up for the pups to play safely in the yard. This was our pups first time staying away from us and he looked like he had the best time and can’t wait to go back!”
“★★★★★ I had a fantastic experience with Trey! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated how he kept his availability updated, allowing me to make a last-minute reservation. I could immediately tell, at both drop off and pick up, that my dog was going to and did receive lots of love and attention. And with my busy schedule, it's so important to have someone reliable and flexible like Trey. He was incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him in the future! Thank you so much Trey!! I can tell Nico was well taken care of and comfortable 🫶”
“Daniella was great! Very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of taking care of a lot of dogs and their temperaments. We got a lot of pictures to keep up on our guys days!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Deanna. She was flexible and communicative and took wonderful care of my older dog. Pearl can be a little shy and nervous but she had a wonderful time and was clearly so comfortable right away. Would absolutely stay with her again!”
“Mary and her husband Bob were the best folks in Knoxville to care for our pups during our 8-day vacation. Mary regularly sent photos and I feel quite certain the pups had even more fun on their own vacation than we did! So long as Mary would have us again, we wouldn’t ever use anyone else!!! Her fenced in yard is perfect, she gave them carrots to snack on just like they get at home, and I don’t think they missed out on a single cuddle session. Thank you, Mary, for everything!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds through my work at a busy doggy daycare. I’m skilled in feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing plenty of love and attention. I understand dog behavior and safety, and I make sure every pet I care for feels happy, comfortable, and secure. From playtime and exercise to cuddles and companionship, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I’m an animal science major at UTK and a doggy daycare worker. I always have time for pups! I will make sure my availability is always up to date for you! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a secure apartment with a cozy space for indoor play and rest, and while my yard isn’t fenced, there’s a safe, dog-friendly park just around the corner for walks and exercise. I provide a supervised, clean, and loving environment at all times, ensuring your dog feels happy, secure, and part of the family while in my care.
“Emily was wonderful with Zola! I was stranded in Knoxville after my husband was hospitalized and Emily was able to take my dog on a last minute reservation and was flexible when I needed to adjust my pick-up time. I would defiantly use her again if I am in the area.”
“We were very apprehensive about leaving Doodle Boy with anyone so far from home. The photo's that Penny texted were very calming, He seemed to be relaxed. We were very satisfied. Thanks again for taking good care of hiim.”
“Our dog took to Joan immediately and we picked up a happy fur baby. The regular updates with pics (including holiday-themed) were much appreciated. Everything was cleaned and ready to go when we arrived. Jasper will be back to enjoy time with Joan. Thank you!!”
“We were very happy with how much Beau liked being with Jenny. They really bonded. And Jenny made sure to send us plenty of pictures so my husband didn't worry too much about his "baby". Will definitely use Jenny again.”
“Rachel was so wonderful to work with. She was so very sweet. Grainger and Millie had such fun with her pups. She kept us updated on how they were and sent pictures and videos. I would highly recommend and will be using her services again.”

“Melissa was excellent, she took the time to ask about my cat's particular habits, their personalities, and any special needs. She was both flexible with accommodation and easy to work with, while taking extensive notes. Overall, my cats seem Happy and healthy and the house was taken care of while I was away. 5 out of five would ask Melissa to take care of my void babies again.”

“I just wanted to give a huge shout-out to Summer, who’s been taking wonderful care of my cat, Bryce, during my business trips. Summer is absolutely fantastic—Bryce is always content and happy when I get home, and I have total peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. If you need a reliable and loving pet sitter, I can’t recommend Summer enough!”
“Lydia is AWESOME! She went above and beyond as our sitter. Not only did she hanging out with our kitty but she also brought my packages out of the rain. Lydia was really kind and quickly won over my grumpy cat. She’s a keeper for sure!”
“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. 👍🏻”
“Rachel was a delight; friendly, responsive and punctual. She took care of our three kitties very well, including one who has some health issues and requires a bit of special handling. She sent pictures and a video while we were gone, which we really appreciated since we missed them very much. This was the first time I had used Rover and wasn’t sure what to expect, but was more than pleased. I will DEFINITELY be contacting Rachel in the future the next time that we need pet sitting.”
“Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my senior short-haired tabby cat for the long Memorial Day weekend. She followed the pre-arranged schedule perfectly and performed all the requested duties completely. She communicated with me for every visit, giving details of my cat’s behavior and wellbeing, and providing photos of my cat with each visit. I am very happy with Cassandra’s service and would definitely use her again!”
“Lauryn did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Mabs! She checked in on her twice a day, sent pictures and videos of play time and pets, provided behavior updates, and she was so patient when Mabs showed signs of fear and anxiety the first night we were away. After that first night, Lauryn won her over, and Mabs seemed very happy to hang out and play with her newfound friend. 😊 I would definitely use Lauryn’s services again! Highly recommend!”
About: I have had cats my entire life, including now! I am experienced in kitten, senior cat care and everything in between. I have fostered and adopted out multiple litters (including bottle fed babies) and I would love to help you take care of your babies!
“Allison was amazing with my cat while I was out of town for 5 days! She gave me daily updates with photos and went above and beyond in every way. I can’t say enough positive things about Allison and my experience with her!”
About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! I have a dog yard and plenty of play space that has proven great for Rover. Your pet will be my best friend during their stay. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to host yours!
“Helena took amazing care of my senior kitty (Marcy) while I was away for two weeks. It was the longest I’d ever left her so I was nervous, especially considering her age and medication requirements. Helena sent pictures and video updates daily—it was clear Marcy was comfortable around her and enjoyed the company. Helena was responsive and kind throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of a few cats over the last few years, and am willing to play with them and spend time with them as much as I can throughout my time sitting. I am more than happy to lounge around with them if needed to make sure the pet is as comfortable as possible while still doing the necessities like changing litter and feeding.
“Naomi provided our family with wonderful service and, more importantly with peace of mind. We have 2 geriatric cats, one of whom is not well, and a 7 year old who can be a handful. None of the 3 has been alone for a protracted period of time let alone been boarded. We are so thankful to have had Naomi take such good care of our fur babies. She left our home in great shape, and collected our mail and delivered packages which was icing on the cake. We highly recommend her and will seek her out if we go out of town again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Halls Crossroads
About: I provide low-volume, personalized boarding for dogs who deserve more than a kennel experience. I intentionally accept only a small number of dogs at a time so every pup receives plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and individualized care. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and reptiles. As a dental student, attention to detail, communication, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, cuddly, food-motivated, or has a very specific routine, I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy so they can truly enjoy their stay. A typical day includes plenty of outdoor playtime in my large fenced backyard, lots of attention, couch naps, treats (with owner approval!), enrichment, and quality one-on-one time. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. Some dogs want to spend hours running around the yard, while others are happiest curled up next to me while I study. Either way, they’ll be included in my daily routine and treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: I want your dog to be excited when they arrive and exhausted from fun when they go home! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a large fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and closely supervise all interactions. Before every stay, I take time to learn your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, sleeping preferences, medications, and any special needs so I can provide the smoothest transition possible. I also provide frequent photo updates and communication throughout the stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and cared for.
About: I have over 12 years of pet care experience, working with puppies all the way to attentive senior care. My expertise in puppy training allows me to instill good behavior and obedience from a young age, while my senior care skills ensure that older pets receive the extra love and attention they need. Pet owners have trusted me time and again to provide reliable and compassionate care for their beloved animals, making me a standout sitter in the community. While I'm currently unemployed and preparing for my upcoming move to a new job and apartment, I have ample time and flexibility in my daily routine to provide dedicated pet care. It's important to me to make the most of this transitional period by offering my services to pet owners who need assistance. I can give their pets the attention, care, and love they deserve during this time while I'm available. Once I start my new job and settle into the new apartment, I'll reassess my schedule and explore ways to continue supporting pet care For pet sitting in my home, I prioritize safety and comfort. I have a secure, pet-friendly environment with designated spaces for pets to play and rest. I ensure there are no hazardous items within their reach and provide regular supervision to avoid any accidents. Additionally, I follow any specific dietary or medical requirements your pet may have, ensuring they receive proper care and attention. When caring for pets in my client's home, I focus on creating a familiar and stress-free environment. I'll always adhere to their usual routines, such as feeding schedules, walks, and playtime activities, to maintain a sense of normalcy for the pets. I take extra precautions to secure the client's home during my visits, ensuring the safety of both the pets and the property.
“Jenny was absolutely WONDERFUL with our 2 frenchies! I was nervous about leaving them with someone I didn't know but Jenny took the time to send me pictures, videos, and messages so I knew they were ok. My dogs LOVED her and were sad to leave her house. I highly recommend Jenny and will definitely use her again!!”
About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college. I’ve been looking after pups ever since. My current best friend is a theee-legged mutt named Jeff and he loves when company comes over. I’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and can do most of my work from the screeened in porch. That’s nice because it lets me keep an eye on the pooch while also feeling less like a cave hermit hunched over a keyboard all day.
“Lauryn was the nicest person ever. She agreed to watch tasia last minute so we could enjoy a nice day at the fair. Would definetly have her watch my fur babe again if we ever come through Tennessee again. She communicates very well with lots of pictures.”
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, and I have a big 110 pound lovable anxious boy dog and I have been trained to build his confidence and take him on enjoyable walks- with lots of patience and treats! I also have a cat and can appreciate all personalities of cats! My schedule is very open and flexible! I am willing to move my own personal schedule around for my clients needs and requests for their pets. I make sure to create an environment to make animals feel safe and spoiled.

About: I have a genuine passion for caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I love being active and going on walks, and I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m currently enrolled in a doctoral program and complete my coursework from home, which gives me full control of my schedule and plenty of flexibility. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. I am in school full time at home so my schedule is very flexible and likely can adjust to you and your pets personal needs! I have a friendly 30 pound dog who does well with others. I also have a yard for your pet to run and play in!
“Talk about “above and beyond” - Khasia was amazing to work with - and on very short notice! Goldie was very well taken care of and I would not hesitate to use Khasia again. She was polite, professional, and very kind.”
“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!”
“Jill was awesome! We found her on the app, had her booked and dropped off the next morning for a long day. She is very competent with dogs. After meeting her we relaxed and had our day out without worrying. She updated us as much as we wanted and Shelby was happy and tired when we picked her up. I would give her 6 stars if the app allowed.”
“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 been walking and caring for dogs for the past 7 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I also cared for my own 15-year-old dog, including helping with diapers, medication, and other senior care needs, so I’m comfortable providing extra patience and attention when needed. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always treat your dog with the same love and care as my own. I’m currently taking two online classes, which don’t take up much of my day, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of one-on-one care throughout the day to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I live right on campus in a safe, pet-friendly area, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’m able to take them on walks around the friendly neighborhood and down to the courtyard as often as needed for potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, prioritize their safety, and treat them like they’re my own!
About: I've taken care of dogs of every age since 14 years old. I have experience working for professional boarding services as well as for friends and family.

I can be there whenever your dog needs. I live in a house with my girlfriend who also works remotely and loves animals. I care about providing a healthy, safe, and enjoyable environment for your pet to stay in. They'll always be treated like family.

About: For the last few years, I’ve had experience pet sitting for clients with dogs and cats of varying ages from 1-10 years old. I love spending time with animals to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, and am always willing to spend time with them whether that be playing, walking, or just chilling out at their house. I’ve dealt with dogs both small and large and am capable of taking care of all size animals. I’m currently a college student at ETSU and also a YoungLife leader. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I am booked from 10-3 and other days vary depending on my schedule. My schedule is somewhat flexible, so I can guarantee that adequate time will be made to ensure your pet(s) have all their needs met from bathroom breaks to staying overnight at your home. Over the summer, I’m in Knoxville, and I work shifts from 7-1 or 12-6. Even with that, I can make time to care for your pets. I can meet whatever specific needs your pet has, whether it is giving them a certain amount of crate/outside time, rewarding them for doing good, going off of their schedule to keep them in routine, etc.

About: For the last 5+ I've been working as a dog groomer and because of that I have amazing handling capabilities for dogs of any kind! I have experience with primitive breeds, terriers and herding dogs!

About: I had 5 dogs in childhood and the first thing I did when I lived on my own was get a 5 pound toy poodle. She lived to be 15 and passed away in May 2021 and I miss her terribly so any small dogs will be treated like a queen in her honor! It’s not an easy feat to have a dog when you move every other year but we treated her like a family member and as a result she got to live in Europe and all over the US. I have four years of experience on Rover, and I have experience selling goods online for over 20 years of 1000+ 100% positive feedback. I aspire to bring the same level of customer satisfaction to my dog boarding, sitting and walking business. I will communicate as much as you desire for your peace of mind about your dog’s comfort and strive for excellent customer satisfaction to every person and pup that I have the honor of working with. I currently have three children in school (ages 15, 13 & 8). My children have been taught to respect all animals and I do not have toddlers or preschoolers. I will absolutely spoil your dog if it’s a lap dog! I will also spoil the medium and larger size babies as much as possible! I have a 6 foot privacy fence and a huge back yard for your dog(s) to explore and play. We have many toys, balls, and frisbees for your dog’s enjoyment! I have a small and medium crate for the comfort and security of those dogs who enjoy it. We can discuss your preferred sleeping arrangements for your dog.
About: I love animals and I have experience owning and caring for dogs and cats of any age! I work at the cat cafe, and have a cat of my own, so I am around animals all the time. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I work at a cat cafe part time, so I have flexibility for daytime visits, depending on the time of day you need me to come. However, please try to request my services at least a few days in advance so I can request off work if needed. I will always treat your pet with the love, care, and respect I give my own animal and ensure that they feel safe and comfortable in my care.
About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference.

I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.

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.
About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of dogs my whole life! From small to little - I love them all. My friends and family have always entrusted me to help take care of their dogs or cats and I promise to take good care of yours too! I also have a background in photography & am happy to provide photos of your dog. I have a German Shepherd named Cash (after Johnny Cash of course) and I still help care for my mama’s puppy named Chief. I look forward to meeting your furry friends :) I work for the University of Tennessee and have large breaks in my work schedule where I can take care of your pet! I am dedicated and hard working, I will always make time to help out. I live in an apartment so it is much better for me to do drop-ins and at-home visits. I have cared for dogs and been able to crate them at my place - I’m also only 3 minutes away from a dog park which is helpful for getting out all that energy!
About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!
About: I love spending time with animals of all kinds. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and can administer basic medications and follow any special care instructions. You can count on me to provide reliable care, plenty of updates, and lots of love and attention! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work until around 3:00 PM, so I’m available every afternoon and evening for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. I’m also available all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, giving me plenty of flexibility to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets are always supervised, have fresh water, and receive plenty of love and attention. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your furry family member is in good hands while you’re away.
About: If you’re looking for someone to check in on your pet or take them for a walk, I’ve got you covered. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. I have a pup of my own so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your pet. Every drop-in and walk gets my full attention. I’d love to help keep your pet happy, entertained, and well-exercised! I work full time but I have time for walks early in the morning or in the evenings. I am also willing to stay at your home and take care of your pet while you are out of town. I would come to your home to take care of your pet. Whatever your pet needs I will be willing to provide. Whether it’s medication, daily walks, or some chill time, I am ready.
About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well. Therefore my experience with pets with medical needs gives me the knowledge of taking care of your fur baby who may need a little extra attention. I am home throughout the day as well as nights and evenings so your fur babies will get all the love and play time they need! I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly. I have a room that is a dedicated dog room where crates are kept for the dogs to be safely while I am away. YOUR PET MUST BE CRATE TRAINED! Please bring a crate for each dog you are boarding with me unless prior arrangements have been made! I do have a baby so your pet must be good with children.
About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! I have a dog yard and plenty of play space that has proven great for Rover. Your pet will be my best friend during their stay. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to host yours!

“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!”
“Angelica and Elizabeth were wonderful with my fur baby. I missed him like crazy but I knew he was in good hands. I received pictures and videos frequently. I will definitely use them again. They treated him like their own. Thank you”
“Nicole and her family kept our 5 mo old fur baby Archee for 10 days in her home. This was new to us, dog sitters. Both my hubby and I were apprehensive about leaving him. Nicole made us feel comfortable and took excellent care of our baby. He was well loved. We were sent pics while on our vacation so our minds were eased. He was happy and well cared for. We could not have been happier and would certainly use Nicole again. I recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
“Lauryn was great! This was our first time actually using Rover and it went very well. Lauryn was very responsive and took Sunny for a weekend on short notice which was really helpful for our family to take a last minute trip. Lauryn sent pictures and updates to let us know how it was going. We didn't have to worry at all. Highly recommend.”
“★★★★★ I had a fantastic experience with Trey! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated how he kept his availability updated, allowing me to make a last-minute reservation. I could immediately tell, at both drop off and pick up, that my dog was going to and did receive lots of love and attention. And with my busy schedule, it's so important to have someone reliable and flexible like Trey. He was incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him in the future! Thank you so much Trey!! I can tell Nico was well taken care of and comfortable 🫶”

“I had a wonderful experience with Deanna. She was flexible and communicative and took wonderful care of my older dog. Pearl can be a little shy and nervous but she had a wonderful time and was clearly so comfortable right away. Would absolutely stay with her again!”
“Emily was wonderful with Zola! I was stranded in Knoxville after my husband was hospitalized and Emily was able to take my dog on a last minute reservation and was flexible when I needed to adjust my pick-up time. I would defiantly use her again if I am in the area.”
“We were very happy with how much Beau liked being with Jenny. They really bonded. And Jenny made sure to send us plenty of pictures so my husband didn't worry too much about his "baby". Will definitely use Jenny again.”
“Rachel was so wonderful to work with. She was so very sweet. Grainger and Millie had such fun with her pups. She kept us updated on how they were and sent pictures and videos. I would highly recommend and will be using her services 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!!!!”
“Amazing! 10/10! I cannot recommend them enough. They were super sweet, made sure I was updated once a day, and treated Loki like a prince. I couldn’t ask for better.”
