“Took amazing pictures and care of Mercury. Even gave him a pedicure for which I am really grateful. Had fun with the kids and other dogs, so he essentially had a really great play date for a couple of days. Blessings 🙌”
“We appreciate her always being willing to work with us on drop off and pick up times! Yes, she works around her schedule, but she takes yours into consideration too and it helps take the stress out of boarding when you’re trying to make it work with travel plans, etc.”
“Kaitlyn was fabulous! She sent multiple pictures daily with notes on the various activities with our dog, Abby. The stay was 8 days and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Abby was having a great time! We will be returning to Kaitlyn to care for Abby in the future!!”
“Jay and Nancy were wonderful! They were so kind and put us at ease leaving our two rescues with them. The dogs were happy and I'm sure had a wonderful time roaming the enclosed yard, seeing the lambs and chickens through the fence, and running around with Finn and Pacho!! Nancy sent pictures every day showing our "kids" having a fun vacation! We were very pleased, and would definitely recommend them! Sparky and Angel also came home with beautiful new reflective collars and leashes! Thanks to Jay and his "Trailhound" business! Very reasonable, and way better than their Walmart specials:)”
“Our dogs were very well taken care of by Jeff and Shirley. They were treated like they were there own and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend them for your pets and I intend to use them again for our pet sitting needs. ”
“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.”
“Wonderful experience for Scout and for us. Lots of green space, great indoor accommodations and lots of TLC. Sitter sent pics everyday. Would highly recommend. Only only negative was location..,narrow one-lane road and a little distance from destinations… but not a big deal.”
“Oh my gosh, Shaky had the most wonderful time with Katie and her family. She came back in perfect condition and she is a dog with a delicate Gastro track. They even took her hiking with permission. Would recommend them highly as pet sitters! !”
“Autumn was great. Our dogsitter fell through last minute and Autumn stepped in to fill the gap. She communicated daily with updates and photos, and was very accomdating about pick up and drop off time adjustments. My senior (nearly blind) lab was happy upon my return.”
“Samantha did a wonderful job! My kids came home happy and healthy, and so tired! The environment was a healthy and interesting one for my Bassett hounds who love to smell and explore! Samantha gave me daily updates and allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my fur babies were enjoying their too!”
“Sophie had a great time with Alexis and Addy! I got pictures and updates from Alexis daily on how Sophie was doing which was such a relief for me. Sophie seemed very relaxed and at home during her stay and I will definitely book her again! Wag on?”
“I have left my little pup with Jose and Maria several times over the last year or so. They really treat her as part of their family and she gets so excited when we pull up to their house. Their daily pictures and videos are so reassuring that all is well. I highly recommend them!!”
“Cassy and her family watched our mini Aussie for the day. They treated him like family, sent updates, which confirmed that our fur baby was in the best hands possible while we attended a wedding in Gatlinburg. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a day, night, week or longer care. She is truly a dog lover. Thank you Cassy!!”
“Wow! We lucked out choosing Emily as a sitter! She was fantastic. We needed a sitter at the last minute and Emily responded right away. We enjoyed meeting her and her sweet family. Our pup walked right in the door without a look back, like she was home. It was a blessing to be able to leave feeling like our pup was going to be fine. Emily sent messages and pics to reassure us that our old girl was settling in that evening and doing well the next morning. If we come back to this area again I would definitely ask for Emily. I’d highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much!”
“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Remy! From the moment we connected, she was attentive, patient, caring, and kind. She kept in touch with us daily, sending sweet updates and adorable pictures that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Remy was happy, healthy, and in loving hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by meeting me at a convenient halfway point between our homes, making the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was a delight to work with—professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. We will absolutely be using her again, without question. Highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”

“Kim and her daughter took excellent care of our sweet cat named Alice. They visited her daily, rain or shine. Alice is very social and loves attention. They gave her plenty of petting, freshen her bowls of water, refilled dry food, gave wet food, and treats. They also scooped her litter box daily. Alice was happy to have their attention and she was very well cared for during our 4 night absence. I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter.”
“Karmyn was thorough in her updates after visiting my cats, attentive to their needs, and followed directions really well. We appreciate her being willing to go above and beyond for us.”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with our 3 cats! She even took care of some plants that got delivered to us. She sent us daily pictures of the kitties and even swept up after them. We would not hesitate to ask her to care of our kitties again!”
About: I have taken care of cats since adopting my own two cats at 8 years old. Since then, I have cared for senior kitties, young kittens, and cats in need of various medications. I am comfortable caring for cats with highly specialized care. I understand that many cats can experience stress while their owners are away so I go above and beyond to ensure that they are well cared for.
“So happy Rosaria was available for my last minute booking. I will definitely be using her in the future she’s so kind and sweet to my dogs they loved their time with her. She went above and beyond letting them play out all their energy.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have owned two but my family now takes care of them since i've been in college. I often walk and feed my roommate’s dog and I have been dog sitting for my neighbors for 5 years! I am currently unemployed and only take one in person class a day. I have plenty of free time to hang out with your pets! I live in an apartment complex but it is gated and has a play area for dogs. I will keep your dogs attended at all possible times and do not mind crating if necessary.
About: As a cat mom of four, I’ve learned firsthand how different every cat can be — from shy and independent to playful and attention‑seeking. I handle daily care like feeding, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and keeping routines consistent. I’m comfortable managing multiple cats at once, reading feline body language, and creating a calm, safe environment. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship or active engagement, I know how to meet their needs and help them feel secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve had several dogs throughout my lifetime and enjoy providing care for them and helping them be able to live their best life on our rural farm like setting. We have 3 dogs of our own. I am a retired registered nurse and would love to provide care to your puppy or dog in our home while you are away from your own home. My husband and I have 3 dogs of our own and they would love to show your dog our wonderful area to play. We can provide a crate for your dog if needed.
“Alexis is great- welcoming, and friendly. Upon meeting her you can immediately tell she enjoys living on her small farm and taking care of animals. We felt very comfortable with our dog hanging out with her. Good communicator. Highly recommend.”
“Megan was amazing with Benji! She really cared and Benji warmed up to her right away. While we were gone, she kept us updated with check-ins and photos. It was clear that Benji had a great time. He was happy, relaxed, and was well cared for by Megan and her family. She is reliable, kind, and genuinely great with dogs. I’d definitely recommend Megan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pup!”
“Callie had a great day at Wendy’s. She was awesome about sending updates throughout the day. We knew Callie was in good hands. She got lots of walks and belly rubs. We would definitely book with Wendy again. Thank you, Wendy, for giving us peace of mind and for giving our dog such a happy, loving place to spend the day.”
“Rosaria was amazing! She was willing to meet me to pick up my dog so I didn't have to drive farther and be late to my conference. She was very friendly and gave us lots of goodies to hit the road with. She was sweet to my dog and took great care of her. I hope to see her again!”
“I am a first time Rover user and my Chloe stayed with Shirley and Jeff all day yesterday to get acquainted with them and their home. All I can say is when I came to pick her up, she was relaxed, happy and didn't really care that I was there. You don't know how happy this made me. Thank you Shirley and Jeff for treating Chloe like your own. She'll be back for more love..... Donna & Guy”

“Jose and Maria took awesome care of our Cockapoo. I received photos and videos of our pet throughout the day. They were active with Marley including walks and time outside. I would definitely look to Jose and Maria to care for Marley again.”
About: Hi! We’re an animal-loving family with room to roam and a whole lot of heart. We share our home with three wonderful dogs (a Pointer, a German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix, and an Australian Shepherd) all 7 years and older, plus our cat, Potato. We’re very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and species under one roof. Our dogs are mature, well-socialized, and help create a calm, balanced pack environment. We live on 2 acres with a securely fenced quarter-acre for safe, supervised outdoor play. There’s plenty of space for sniffing, structured exercise, and relaxing in the fresh air. My wife and I are almost always home, so your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and affection. We also have a sweet baby, Cooper, who is growing up learning to gently and respectfully love animals. Our home is calm, structured, and family-oriented. In addition to boarding, we also offer drop-in visits for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Whether your pet needs potty breaks, feeding, walks, medication, or just some companionship and playtime, we’re happy to help. I’m currently a stay at home parent so my schedule is wide open for both days and nights to take on boarding or do visits to other homes. My home has a large fenced area where our three dogs can roam and exercise. I am very reliable and respectful when it comes to entering others’ homes while taking care of their pets.
About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet sitter who has cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve helped take care of many animals over the years and am comfortable with feeding schedules, bathing, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I work part time so it’s easy to book with me for bathing, drop-ins, dog sitting, dog day care. Please note I do not trim animal hair. My schedule is pretty flexible: 9am-7pm/Monday-Friday. I travel to owners home, I try not to bring other animals to my home due to me having very energetic dogs that don’t get along well with others.
“Molly was wonderful to meet and took great care of our GSP. We can recommend her without hesitation. Her pup and ours played so well together. Hope to use Molly’s pet services when we return to Asheville.”
“Carrie was an awesome sitter for my pup Benny! She was very communicative & she kept me updated on his day along with pictures. My pup seemed to really enjoy his stay! I would definitely book again!”
“Samantha and her daughter were EXCELLENT! We are from out of town, and were visiting relatives in Greeneville. We had to find a sitter for 2 days (and a little last minute) but fortunately Samantha was happy to take on our diabetic dog, Abby. We were so thankful to be able to find a sitter who is also adept at medication administration. Samantha is so good with animals! She was very careful to introduce our little dog to her own fur babies to eliminate any stress. It was nice to receive the many photo updates that Samantha sent during the day. When we picked her up, Abby looked and acted very happy, calm and content. We were able to relax and have a wonderful time with our relatives knowing Abby was in such wonderful hands. I would not hesitate to have Samantha care for Abby the next time we are in Greeneville. Thank you Samantha!”
