About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

About: Over the past 11 years, I have dedicated myself to the lifelong care of my two dogs, gaining an intimate understanding of canine development from puppyhood through their senior years.

About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.

“Alex was great dropping in daily over a long trip to care for my two cats. They didn’t tear anything up like cats like to do, and she took great care to keep their areas clean! I got daily pics and she was sure to give them love while I had to be gone for so long. Highly recommend!!”
“Jessica and her family took extra great care of Mr. Bean. We got regular pictures and updates during our trip that kept editing is looking forward to seeing what he was up to with Jessica and her family.

About: Medically retired Veteran and stay at home dad with lots of time on my hands to care for fur kids and keep a watchful eye on them. I have dog sat for friends' pets and personal pets that I've owned for over 30 years. I don't currently have another job. So, aside from medical appointments, I don't have any issues with daily or weekly routines. I should be able to conform to any and all needs. I always care for every pet as though that pet were my own. I know how sensitive each pet can be, so I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with someone else's pet.
“Veronica was very loving and playful with my cat while I was away! She took lots of pictures and fed her and was able to be there to give lots of pets and quality time. Timing of scheduled drop ins was the only issue but otherwise perfection!”
About: I am a dog mom to 2 reactive dogs, so I'm patient and understanding of different types of behaviors in dogs. I will care for your fur baby like they're mine! I am currently only working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! Very open to different schedules that suit both of our needs I will always send updates and pictures from my time with your pet. I understand the stress of having a stranger care for your fur family members, and I will of course care for them like they're my own!
“I have booked Jazzy twice and she has been amazing with my two cats ! She communicated with me when checking on them, sent me pictures, and made sure that they were taken care of. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Olivia is hands-down the best sitter we have ever used! I was nervous about leaving my cat, Macy, who is a bit of a shy flight risk, but Olivia handled everything with total professionalism and care. Not only did she provide excellent updates on Macy, but she also proactively helped with our home—watering plants, bringing in mail, and even taking out the trash when she heard a reminder we had forgotten to tell her about! She even helped troubleshoot our electronic lock. She is reliable, observant, and truly goes the extra mile. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again!”

“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.”
“Zoe and her husband were perfect for my dog Gus. I had a last-minute need for someone to watch him and they were very flexible with me. I know my dog enjoyed playing with their dogs too. Thank you guys so much!!”
“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.”
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: **Flexible with negotiating rate through the app for stays longer than 4 days** I'm a passionate pet sitter with a profound love for animals. As a seasoned pet owner with over 12 years of pet sitting experience, I take joy in the companionship that our furry friends bring. I understand the significance of having a reliable, caring, and responsible caregiver for your furry family members while you're away, and that's exactly what I strive to be! Working from home 100% of the time allows me to offer undivided attention to your pets, ensuring they receive all the affection and care they deserve. As a pet sitter, I pride myself on being attentive, patient, and understanding of each animal's unique needs and personalities. Whether it's a playful pup or any other adorable critter, I make it my mission to create a stress-free and joyful experience for them. Your pet's well-being and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently have no pets of my own so your furry babies would be my primary focus. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your beloved furry babies to feel right at home. Whether caring for pets in my home or taking them for walks around your residence, I go above and beyond to ensure their well-being and happiness. I live on an acre of land and although it is not fenced-in I do have a 25 and 50 foot lead that can accommodate to getting out to stretch their legs on occasions throughout the day and play. When staying in my home, your pets become a part of my family and I will treat them with the same safety measures I would take if they were my own. I offer a warm and welcoming space where they can relax, play, and enjoy a stress-free stay. My home is pet-friendly, with designated areas for rest and play, and I provide all the necessary amenities to make them feel at ease. If needed, I am able to make regular visits to your residence, ensuring your pets maintain their daily routines, familiarity with their surroundings, and feel secure in their own environment. During these visits, I engage in interactive playtime, provide nourishing meals, administer any required medications with precision, and handle any other specific needs your pets may have.

About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am the perfect person to watch your fur baby! I work from home, so I can give your baby 24/7 love and attention. I am also a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty every few hours. I live in an apartment, and since I work from home they will be getting ‘round the clock care, supervision, and attention!
“Rosemary is an amazing sitter! She has been caring for my sweet boy Milo for the past month or so. Just seeing how excited and eager he is to see her, let’s me know that he is being treated properly. She is very patient and has been available and willing to work w/ my schedule. Relocating to the area for work and not knowing anyone, I must say we really lucked up by finding Rosemary, she is truly passionate about caring for animals and treats my little fur baby like her very own.”

“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: My partner and I both work from home, have a fenced yard and have extensive experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds! Having no other pets in the home allow us to provide full attention to your furry friend, provide potty breaks as much as needed and give them all the love! Let us watch your pup today! Pet care fits into my daily routine easily as a WFH employee. I take a walk before and during lunch breaks daily and can provide as many potty breaks as needed. I care for pets by following instructions and information provided by their owners. I think it is beneficial to make their environment as close to home as possible when boarding with me. I prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand to let your pet get familiar with my home and me.
About: I’ve always had and loved dogs! I have a soft spot in my heart for doggies. I would keep my friends and family’s dogs when they would go out of town. These dogs have been all shapes and sizes! Golden retriever, Rottweiler, Pit mix, Pug, Yellow Lab, Jack Russell, and more! I also have volunteered at Young Williams Animal Shelter walking and caring for dogs. I am a teacher so I have my summers off and will be readily available to care for your fur baby. I am currently raising a 5 month old Golden Retriever of my own! I am a teacher currently off for the summer so I have plenty of time to play and love on dogs! I am available any day of the week for boarding as well as walks! My whole summer is revolving around taking care of my teenaged golden! We have been spending our days going to the pool, going on walks, training, playing fetch, and cuddling! I have a fenced in yard with a playful teenage golden who is ready to make friends. He is super friendly. I also have crates and a play pen inside for dogs to play in without having to free roam the house. I sometimes will take the dogs to our boat on the lake or my in-law’s pool if they enjoy water!

In addition, I have fostered both cats and dogs, helping provide them with a caring home environment while they waited for adoption. As a lifelong animal owner and caregiver, I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, extra patience, or simply companionship, I treat every animal like family. I’m a teacher currently looking for a fun summer part-time opportunity, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, I truly enjoy spending quality time with them and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to help them feel calm, secure, and cared for in their own environment. I’m experienced caring for cats, dogs, and foster animals, including shy and senior pets. I’m reliable, patient, attentive to routines, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands.
About: I used to have a mini Poodle from 2012 to 2018. I took her on lots of walks, gave her hair cuts, and shampoos, and even cared for her when her health declined from cancer in 2018. I am great with any dog I meet, I have played and walked friends' dogs and have had no issues. I also worked at Foxy Locks Grooming and Daycare in summer of 2024, and I currently work there again, so I have employee experience working with large and small dogs! I am a college graduate and preparing for law school, so I will be in Knoxville atleast until August! I do work part time at a dog daycare 2-7 Monday through Friday, but my mornings are free in addition to Saturdays! Good times are late morning and afternoons, but I am open to early mornings as well. *disclaimer for house sitting*: I cannot stay at your house all day on the weekdays, do to my part to me job. However, I can stay atleast until 12 or 1pm, then come back to your house at 7:30pm I am very attentive and friendly when caring for dogs in my clients’ homes. I love to play with them and ensure the home is left the same if not better than when I arrived.

“Thank you Zoe for watching my boy at the last minute, our usual dog boarding service was closed and Zoe was able to accommodate us and watch Bruno last minute, even though it was over night she still updated me with photos, and he was his usual cheerful self when we picked him up! We will definitely use them again for boarding when needed and highly recommend, very friendly and very responsive:)”
“Jordyn was awesome!! We left our fur buddy with her and her partner for 3 and 1/2 days and he was so well looked after. She was great about communicating how he was doing and sent some great photos! Will definitely be booking with Jordyn again in the future!”
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
“I was skeptical at first when choosing a sitter, since my dog had never stayed anywhere other than with us before. Kaylee completely made that worry go away. She kept me updated constantly with pictures and texts. I will for sure be booking again! Thank you Kaylee!!!”
“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
“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!”
“Sarah did an excellent job watching my dog, Charlie, while we were out of town. She was professional, dependable, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and Charlie was happy and well-cared-for the entire time. I highly recommend her services!”
“Caillynn was an amazing sitter! Very friendly and had a spacious yard for our blue heeler. Molly looked so happy when I came to pick her up. I’ll use Caillynn again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“Thanks so much for taking care of our girl while we were away! It's a peace of mind knowing you can have someone trustworthy and caring to take care of your four-legged family member. We'll definitely have Kos sit for us in the future when we aren't able to bring Meadow 😊”
“Duke and I had the best experience with this wonderful family. They sent me photos or videos every day, walked him daily and you could just tell he was very welcomed. This was a very clean safe environment and Duke was immensely happy.”
“Yu very responsive to emails Daily pics, and/or videos Harley enjoyed his stay with Yu. There is a big fenced in backyard for Halrey, and Yu's 2 dogs to play in. My dog has been in the shelter several times, and I like that Harley was able to roam freely, and not spend a lot of time locked up in a kennel. Yu's home provides that, along with the benefit of only boarding one dog at a time. Yu was very responsive to any messages I sent, and sent daily messages, pics, and/or videos. When Harley needs a place to stay in the future, Yu will be my first choice.”
“Rachel was the best while I away for almost over a week! She was so accommodating and communicative about Willow's stay and was even willing to go the extra mile for her care and well being. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Such a sweet woman ( & dog) ! Saved us when our last minute plans to have Riley watched while we were away fell through. So wonderful to meet yet another great connection in our dog family. Hoping to be able to contact Hanna again soon!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past few eyes and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I have been in your shoes trying to find the right person, too! I regularly pet sit for friends & family and genuinely love spending time with animals. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can easily swing by to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and company while you’re away! I currently work from home so I can swing by early in the mornings or late afternoon to hang out with your pet or go on walks. Or, swing by mid afternoon. I am usually open most weekends. When caring for pets in a clients home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I will also make to keep the home tidy and provide as many updates/pictures as you would like!
