About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for cats, dogs, and even chickens! Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and have experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and care needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to help keep your pet happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. No matter what, pet care is always a priority in my routine! My days naturally revolve around caring for my own two dogs, and I intentionally plan my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My current schedule gives me extra flexibility and free time, which means more walks, playtime, cuddles, and one on one attention for your pet. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. If boarding at my house, I live with my boyfriend who also has a relatively flexible schedule and can provide care during any hours that I may be away. In my home, pets are treated like family! I have a large yard for playtime, two friendly dogs who love having company, and plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained. I always make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and love while they’re with me. I’m comfortable accommodating different needs and routines, whether that means crating your dog, sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, or giving them extra one on one attention. If your dog is used to snuggling up at night, they’re more than welcome to sleep in bed with us and our pups! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I will follow any house rules, schedules, or care instructions you have to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I love going on walks and am always happy to take dogs on adventures, get in plenty of playtime, or simply provide companionship and cuddles based on their personality and needs.
“She did a great job with Charli ! She was always sending pictures and videos and informing me of how Charli was doing . Charli loved her child and they played with each other a lot so much that charli was exhausted and slept the rest of the night once she got home . Will be rebooking with her !”
“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.”
“Joan is AMAZING! She took care of our Cookie boy like her own. She is kind, loving, provided daily updates, and followed his schedule/routine like he was home. He came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend her!”
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.
“Jenny was absolutely fantastic with our Koda. This was our very first time going away and leaving our puppy. We were super nervous, but from the start, Jenny made feel so comfortable. She watched her for a whole week, sending photos and videos throughout each day. It was nice that other dogs were boarded with Jenny at the same time so they could all play in her big backyard all day. Jenny was extremely responsive while we were away, always making sure we were in the know. Before we picked her up, Jenny washed her bed, harness, and gave Koda a nice clean bath. We will definitely be using Jenny again in the future and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!”
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.

“Crystal was wonderful! She’s incredibly kind, she’s super easy to get ahold of, and we always looked forward to her updates about our kitty! Plus, our kitty seemed to love her! We will definitely be looking to book with her again for our next trip!”
“Anna was great! In the photos she sent of my cat, Archie, you could almost hear the purring. He obviously got spa treatment with petting, brushing and play. I would definitely hire her again.”
“I can’t thank Claire enough for the amazing care she gave my three cats over the past 8 weeks! From the very first visit, it was clear how much she truly love animals. Each of my cats has their own personality, and Claire took the time to connect with all of them — even my shy one came out for cuddles every visit! Her updates and photos were such a comfort while I was away. I could tell the cats were happy, well-fed, and totally spoiled with attention. The litter boxes were completely changed many times and everything done exactly as I asked. It’s not easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pets, but Claire is that person. I came home to three relaxed, happy kitties — the best sign of all. I’m so grateful for the care and love she put into every visit and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend! 🐾💜🐾”

“Helena worked around a hiccup with the app and was so understanding and accommodating! She got our shy kitty to warm up to her the first day and he was always excited to see her. She sent great videos and pictures and was responsive to messages. I am very pleased to say the least! And my little Finn is smitten.”
“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”

About: I am a crazy cat lady at heart. I have extreme patience with meddlesome, energetic, and curious cats. I let cats sleep in my bed with me when boarding and provide daily snuggles as if they were my own! 🐈🐈⬛
“I cannot recommend Taylor enough as a cat sitter! She took exceptional care of my cats, going above and beyond to ensure they were happy and well taken care of. Not only did she keep their litter clean and made sure they were well-fed, but she also took the time to comb and play with them, which made a huge difference. My cats are typically very shy, but Taylor's gentle and patient approach won them over, and they warmed up to her surprisingly quickly. It's clear she genuinely loves animals, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my fur babies were in such capable hands. Will rebook in future!”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats and currently own a 4-year-old cat named Pingly. Through caring for my own cat, I have experience with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, grooming, playtime, enrichment activities, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. Some cats love attention and play, while others prefer a calm environment and gentle companionship. I take the time to learn each cat’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In addition to basic care, I am comfortable administering oral medications if needed, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning up accidents, and providing regular updates and photos to owners for peace of mind. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their families by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care. 🐾
“Taylor was amazing and cared for my cat Maddie like she was hers! This weekend was crazy with hurricane Helene affecting our power and changing our plans. Taylor kept us updated on our power and was very accommodating. I highly recommend her, We will definitely be using her again!”
“Michaela was a wonderful caregiver for our three cats while we traveled for a week. She kept them happy while keeping me updated on how they were doing. And she even got our cranky cat to love her and let her give him medication. She’s great!”

“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”

About: I grew up on a farm in rural Appalachia so I have been surrounded by pets of all different types for as long as I can remember.

About: I’m a natural dog lover with a lifelong connection to animals. I’ve had four Great Danes as part of my family, so I’m very comfortable caring for large breeds and understanding their unique personalities. Spending time outdoors with dogs has always come naturally to me, and I have a strong nurturing instinct that makes caring for animals feel effortless and rewarding. I am very free this summer for June and July. My schedule is very flexible as I am a teacher and I'm not working right now. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my home. I live in a large house with plenty of space and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play, relax, and explore safely. I enjoy daily walks and spending time outdoors, and there’s no better way to enjoy that time than with a pet by my side. I’m attentive, nurturing, and committed to making sure every pet feels loved, secure, and part of the family while they’re with me.

I realize this is a big responsibility and I will make sure you feel safe with me caring for your animal/s.I have experience with bunnies too!

I lock the door each time I leave, even if it’s just for a moment. If your dog/s need a bath it’s no problem.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 5 years old when I got my first puppy. Everyone in my family has 3+ dogs, so I have grown up taking care of dogs of all breeds and sizes. The smallest behind a teacup yorkie and the biggest being a full size golden doodle! I have experience in training golden retrievers/poodle/bloodhound/huskey/yorkie breeds since I own them myself, and got them when they very young. I am currently a junior student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I own a car, so transportation is not a problem for me. Being a student I have all online classes. This frees my schedule to come by and care for your pet whenever needed! In my home I care for my dogs very well. I give them weekly baths and daily walks to make sure they are staying clean and getting exercise in. I never leave them alone for more than 2 hours because dogs get lonely and they deserve to be treated the same as humans. I also care for my dogs diet. Always making sure I am feeding them the best food and supplements for their coat and digestive system.
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 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.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little but now I have the medical experience to back me up as I am finishing veterinary school. Who else would you want to take care of your pets while you are away? I am available M-S. It just depends. We can work out the details which we can do one on one to see how many times a day and how long of a duration. As a veterinary student, animal safety and well-being are my top priorities.

I closely follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, medication, and routines, and I’m comfortable recognizing and responding to signs of stress or illness.

With my background in veterinary medicine, I bring an extra layer of knowledge and awareness to ensure every pet is safe, healthy, and happy under my care.

About: I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats, but also bunnies, goats, and a dog. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, and worked in both veterinary clinics and grooming salons. I'm a licensed veterinary technician, which means I am very comfortable giving medications as needed, and may even be able to trim nails or bathe dogs with an additional helper. I have taken care of cats, dog, horses, goats, a tortoise, and a few small pocket pets. I am comfortable with most species, but have limited experience with pocket pets, reptiles and birds. I'm currently in the process of looking for a full-time job, so I have more time than usual to take care of your pet(s)! When I get the full-time job, I will be more limited to dog-walking and drop-in appointments, with more availability on the weekends and holidays. I currently live in an apartment building, so I plan to mostly do dog-walking or drop-in apartments. I have a cat currently at my apartment, who prefers dogs over cats, but may get along with a cat with a careful introduction (she tends to be too playful at times).
About: I'm a veterinary student with 3,000+ hours of clinical animal experience, Fear Free certified, and experienced with dogs, cats, puppies, seniors, and pets requiring medications. I have both in-home and drop-in pet sitting experience and focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important reliable, attentive care is and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. As a veterinary student, I spend much of my time caring for and handling animals, and I also care for my own two cats and two puppies. My schedule allows me to plan ahead and provide reliable drop-in visits, walks, feeding, medication administration, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize clear communication, punctuality, and making sure each pet's individual needs are met consistently Whether I am caring for pets in my client's home or my own, my priority is creating a safe, low-stress, and consistent environment. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. As a veterinary student and Fear Free Certified professional, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being so I can quickly recognize any concerns. In a client's home, I respect their space, provide regular updates with photos, and ensure pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. I am experienced handling dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including seniors and pets requiring medication. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free while they are apart.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a very young age. Whether that has been my own animals, or my family members while they’re on away from vacation. I have also had experience with foster animals ranging from unhousebroken puppies to older dogs. I love being outside, especially going for walks. I am very flexible and able to be home pretty frequently! I am a college student so I am only out of the house for up to four hours at a time. I wake up pretty early every day to get my day started so waking up to accommodate to bathroom brakes for your pets should be no problem. If it’s necessary, a custom list of things to help make sure I follow. I am willing to make exceptions and modifications for your pet depending on your preferability. Letting your pets out and feeding on a timely schedule is never an issue.
About: My family has fostered dogs for the past few years, and we’ve had at least one family dog since I was born. I pet sit for my neighbors and family friends often, both cats and dogs alike, and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities! On the daily I take care of my family dogs. I take them on morning walks, make sure they don’t eat each other’s food, and give them PLENTY of play time, pets, and loves! I’m also well-versed in caring for anxious dogs, as our medium-size dog is very nervous at most hours of the day. I don’t believe in using fear tactics to punish dogs, such as time-outs or spraying them with water. Instead, I promote positive behaviors by engaging with them happily and giving them treats (if permitted) when they do something they’re supposed to do! With my clients, I take pets on walks or do a scheduled play time for as long as is requested, and I make sure they’re comfortable and fed every time I visit! If overnight or all-day stay is needed for particularly clingy pets, I’m completely open to discussing hours for that, and will never leave a pet alone or push it away if it needs a person there!
About: I’ve house sat, pet sat, baby sat, since I was in high school! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Speech Language Pathology at UT and am looking for some furry friends to hang out with between studying! I’m currently in school so my schedule is more open than working a 9-5! This summer I have several days a week completely open and am super flexible! There’s nothing I love more than giving love and care to your fur babies! I’m ready to care for the littlest puppies to our senior citizens!

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.
“Jenny was absolutely fantastic with our Koda. This was our very first time going away and leaving our puppy. We were super nervous, but from the start, Jenny made feel so comfortable. She watched her for a whole week, sending photos and videos throughout each day. It was nice that other dogs were boarded with Jenny at the same time so they could all play in her big backyard all day. Jenny was extremely responsive while we were away, always making sure we were in the know. Before we picked her up, Jenny washed her bed, harness, and gave Koda a nice clean bath. We will definitely be using Jenny again in the future and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!”
“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!”
