“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Definitely my go to pet sitter for Dolly, my 3 month old Australian Shepherd. Dolly absolutely loves it there, and Jennifer sends the best pictures and videos. Her and her husband are absolutely awesome, and their dog is great with Dolly who is as energetic as they come. I won't even think about using anyone else now!”
“SaVannah was absolutely amazing with our puppies! She kept them for a long weekend and loved on them like they were her own! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely book her again.”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our pups. Gloria communicated with us before our stay and stayed in contacted the whole time our dogs were with her. I highly recommend boarding with Gloria, and we will definitely use her again if we are in the area.”
“Thank you Vickie and Charlie for taking such good care of Trixie. We appreciated the pictures you sent us of Trixie while we were gone. You were always quick to respond and the pictures put us at ease. Trixie looked good and happy. We would not hesitate to have her stay with you again. Dianna and Jerry”
“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!”
“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.”
“Keturah was so great with my overly excited pug, her family and fur babies welcomed him like he was one of their own, I was nervous leaving him for nearly a week, and I have never used rover before, but being last minute, they were very helpful and accommodating, I even had to leave him for one extra night, and Keturah assured me it was no problem to watch him, what a life saver! Bruno had so much fun and got the love he needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future to take loving care of my Bruno.”
“Ashley kept on constant contact with us during our vacation and sent pics of Disco throughout ! We are so thankful for her care and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her services !”
“Allyson and Tyler were great hosts for Oso! Super responsive and flexible and gave us nice updates on his time with them. We love that Oso could play with other pups and enjoy a de fenced yard! We’ll definitely bring him back for a future stay!”
“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.”
“Alba had a great time with Caillynn! Caillynn provided excellent care and playtime. She also sent photos and videos along with updates in Alba daily. We will definitely choose her again!”
“Trina was amazing with Kane! He got a nose bleed, while I was on vacation, and he was in her care. She immediately notified me that night and promptly took him 40 minutes away to his vet; which actually saved his life! The vet said he probably wouldn't have made it until his appointment that next Monday! Honestly,I thought it was probably like a human and no big deal. I was wrong. He was recovering from a few things(which she and the vet knew all about the situation) I'm glad I did talk to the vet prior since she had to take him in. I would trust Trina with any of my fur babies! She was amazing and honestly did save my dogs life. She had to make that 40-60 minute drive twice for us! She was a great choice and a God send. I almost left him with my 19 year old who didn't go. I'm SOOOO glad I didn't! Thank you Trina! You will Alessia be my dog sitter!”

“Elizabeth did a phenomenal job taking care of my babies while I was out of state. She went above and beyond what I asked of her, and I could not be happier with the care that my animals received! Based on the picture updates she sent, I think my animals fell in love with her too! Will definitely use her services again!”
“Greatly appreciate Stephanie doing 3 drop-in visits to check in on the cats while we were out if town. Stephanie did an excellent job of communicating. She made sure the cats were fed and had plenty of water. Excellent.”
“Kristen did a great job as always. She communicated well; sent pictures; did what I expected, and most importantly, gave me peace of mind taking care of my cat and my home while away. Thanks so much Kristen!”
“Madeline was wonderful! She was very attentive, followed all of our instructions carefully, and kept us updated with pictures every visit, which made us feel very comfortable being away from our boys. We’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a pet sitter. We highly recommend her!”
“My cats were happy and relaxed when I returned, a sure sign they received the care they know they deserve! Haley went well above and beyond to care for my group of cats, including medications. We (the cats and I) couldn't be more pleased. I look forward to worry-free travel now that I know I have found a dependable carer for my fur kids. Cannot recommend Haley highly enough!”
“Karen did a great job! She took care of our two cats as if they were her own and made friends with them.. Her daily reports and photographs were a great comfort to us. I would gladly use her again.”

I have two dogs of my own, a basset hound and an English mastiff, as well as caring for my moms senior Maltese. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!

It is my greatest goal to have happy and satisfied pets and owners.
“Thank you Stephanie for taking such good care of our kitty! Stephanie goes above and beyond and really spends time with your animal, is very communicative, and seems to really enjoy what she does. It was our first time using Rover and I am so pleased we had such a good experience all due to Stephanie.”
“Candice did amazing with our fur-babies! Delilah is usually very anxious around new people, and she was comfortable enough to lay on the couch and accept some scratches after just a few minutes with Candice. That has never happened before with anyone else. We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
About: I look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me. Pet sitting helps me support my daughter’s therapies and additional needs, which makes this work especially meaningful to me. It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶
About: I have always been able to communicate and interact with animals much easier than i have with people, it comes more naturally to me. The first thing that my closest friends and family say when introducing me to anyone, especially if they have pets, is that i’m great with animals. it fits in perfectly, i work at part time job at a clothing store but my shifts are only typically four hours, and i get off work anytime between 4-6 so right around dinner time. i have an open yard that my dog can roam freely whenever we let her out, she tends to stay within 10 yards of our front doorstep so we do not keep her on a leash. however, should i be taking care of a dog and it does need to be on a leash when being let out, that is no problem at all.

“🥹🥹🥹 Lisa is incredibly sweet to my fur baby, she always gives tons of pics and feedback!! This was Ellie’s second stay with Lisa and won’t be her last either :) thank you Lisa for everything that you continue to do for us”
“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”
About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do
“Meredith is the absolute best! She's so kind and gentle and patient!l - Springsteen enjoyed his time with her and John so much. He had the best time exploring the woods and playing in her very large and fun backyard. Perfect place to spend time with the best dog loving house! Thank you, Meredith, for all the love and attention you provide. Can't wait for Springsteen to come back for more time at Doyle's Den.”
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”

“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.”
“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”
“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!”
“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: 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. But more than that- 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 photos so you always know how your pet is doing. 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. :)
About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count.

I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another. on 07/27/2026 my Daughter, son-in-law and 3 year old grandson will be living with me.

I will do exactly as directed to the very best of my ability.

“Haley did an incredible job with our boys and even helped out with our kitty while we were on vacation this weekend! She was punctual and listened to our needs for all of our fur babies thoroughly! We loved the constant updates she provided and will definitely be using her services again when we go out of town in the future! Thank you so much Haley!”
About: I experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals.

“She saved me yesterday I was called into work and she went to walk glide. Now glide is not easy to be walked he gets scared, he pulls and tugs, etc and she was patient with glide. She will be walking him again this morning I think I found my new favorite person for glide.”

About: I have been dog sitting and walking for the past years as needed. Friends and family have counted on me to feed and walk their pets. I am currently on summer vacation, so I have a lot of free time that I would like to spend taking care of others’ pets. I am available on short notices and have a free schedule to fit many time needs. I do not care for pets in my home but am willing to offer drop in services and check in on pets as well as walk the pets. I will make sure your pet is on a leash and all the safety precautions are taken.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.

About: Hi there! My boyfriend and I live in a pet-friendly apartment, and we’d love to welcome your furry friend into our home. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and to me, pets are family—no exceptions. Caring for animals is my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or training sessions, I love spending quality time making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I also understand how to build trust with new pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Their well-being is my top priority, so you can rest assured that your pet will receive the same love and attention as my own. I have two dogs who I adore taking on walks, and I honestly feel like it’s almost a crime to go to the park or beach without them! They get multiple walks throughout the day, and on weekends, we love going for hikes. During the weekdays, we visit local parks or dog parks for some fresh air and exercise. When caring for pets, I prioritize attention, activity, and comfort. For example, I recently boarded an energetic young dog overnight. After feeding him the food his owner provided, my boyfriend and I took him to the dog park, where he had a blast running around and socializing for an hour. Afterward, we walked him alongside my dog to help him settle in. At home, I made him a cozy bed in our room, played with him, and showered him with pets and attention to ease any anxiety about being away from his owners. By the end of the night, he insisted on sleeping in bed with us—exception granted! What You Can Expect: ✔️ Daily Walks & Exercise – All dogs go on multiple walks, and weekend stays include a dog park or hiking trip. ✔️ Plenty of Play & Attention – Whether your pet loves to play or just cuddle, I make sure they feel at home. ✔️ Feeding & Special Care – Pets are fed in the morning and around dinner time (or as per your instructions). ✔️ Safe & Comfortable Stay – Dogs are welcome to sleep in my room, but they’re free to find their own cozy spot. ✔️ Cat-Friendly Care – Cats can roam freely, receive fresh litter changes every 1-2 days, and even get a warm cloth bath if needed. I open my home to your pets as if it were their own—it’s always a joy to have them around! I’d love to learn more about your pet’s needs and personality. Let’s chat! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention and care for pets. My beagle gets regular walks throughout the day, ensuring plenty of exercise and fresh air. On weekends, we love going on hikes or visiting the park for extra adventure and playtime. With my flexible routine, I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means scheduled walks, play sessions, or extra cuddle time! Pets in my home are treated like family. My dog, Knox, spends his days napping in his favorite spot, chewing on a bone, or playing hide-and-seek with me. Our apartment is calm and quiet, making it a comfortable space for pets to relax. When Knox isn’t resting, we’re out on walks or enjoying some playtime. Your pet will be cared for with the same love and attention, ensuring they feel safe and at home!

“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Definitely my go to pet sitter for Dolly, my 3 month old Australian Shepherd. Dolly absolutely loves it there, and Jennifer sends the best pictures and videos. Her and her husband are absolutely awesome, and their dog is great with Dolly who is as energetic as they come. I won't even think about using anyone else now!”
“SaVannah was absolutely amazing with our puppies! She kept them for a long weekend and loved on them like they were her own! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely book her again.”
“Here's your final review with a few minor tweaks for clarity and flow: --- This is my first time using a boarding service through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! I recently boarded my dog with her, and she was incredibly friendly, ensuring my dog felt comfortable and loved throughout the stay. Her house had plenty of space for play, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy boarding service. Thank you for taking such great care of Harry!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our pups. Gloria communicated with us before our stay and stayed in contacted the whole time our dogs were with her. I highly recommend boarding with Gloria, and we will definitely use her again if we are in the area.”
“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.”
“Allyson and Tyler were great hosts for Oso! Super responsive and flexible and gave us nice updates on his time with them. We love that Oso could play with other pups and enjoy a de fenced yard! We’ll definitely bring him back for a future stay!”
“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.”
“Alba had a great time with Caillynn! Caillynn provided excellent care and playtime. She also sent photos and videos along with updates in Alba daily. We will definitely choose her again!”
“Trina was amazing with Kane! He got a nose bleed, while I was on vacation, and he was in her care. She immediately notified me that night and promptly took him 40 minutes away to his vet; which actually saved his life! The vet said he probably wouldn't have made it until his appointment that next Monday! Honestly,I thought it was probably like a human and no big deal. I was wrong. He was recovering from a few things(which she and the vet knew all about the situation) I'm glad I did talk to the vet prior since she had to take him in. I would trust Trina with any of my fur babies! She was amazing and honestly did save my dogs life. She had to make that 40-60 minute drive twice for us! She was a great choice and a God send. I almost left him with my 19 year old who didn't go. I'm SOOOO glad I didn't! Thank you Trina! You will Alessia be my dog sitter!”
“Lanelle was so awesome with our sweet Niko!!! She sent great pics to us and kept me on board with his stay.. she even went above and beyond and setting him up in my home for our parents thank you so much Lanelle!! Niko was very happy and we felt very relaxed and had fun in our vacation knowing he was ok.. we will definitely use your services again! Your family is super sweet and loves dogs!”
“Gabrielle and her pack were so welcoming and warm with me and my dog when we met them. I felt really good about boarding him with her and she sent me pictures & updates everyday! 10/10 would use again and recommend! Thanks so much!”
“Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you 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.”
About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
