“Kristy was so amazing! She communicated super well and sent lots of pics during our pups’ stay. I could tell she truly loves dogs and took the best care of ours while they were with her. I am super thankful that I knew they were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”
“Erin was amazing with my dogs! Regular updates and pics, took them on adventures and played with them. Gave them all the snuggles and love we couldn't because we were traveling. I will 100% be using her again!”
“Elexis was amazing!! From the get go they communicated well and eased my mind when it came to knowing my pup was in good hands!! At the end of his boarding I could tell that he had an amazing stay!! So much love for this sitter!!”
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 on property 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.

“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.”
About: Hilarious pun because I just got a wagon and desperately want to fill it with dogs. Hi! I'm Marlee, I've been fostering and training dogs for about 5 years. Since I moved here I've just been solo with my Goob, and I'm ready to start taking care of dogs again!! While fostering I took care of every make, model, shape, and year of dog, so I can handle any furry friend you send me! I'm working from home at the moment and if im leaving the house I'm going somewhere dog friendly and in nature! I'll always have time to care for your dog! I have completely open availability and im incredibly active, so your pup will always be doing something with me. I go on hikes several times a week, and would be more than happy to pile your pups in my (wag)on -sorry- and take them for a day time adventure!! Im also able to pet sit/board any days of the week. As I mentioned I'm home all the time so you can trust your dog will always be monitored, cared for, and entertained!!
“Maggie loves going to Joan's house whenever we are on holiday. Joan takes such wonderful care of her and keeps us updated with pictures. We never have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone and we will certainly be having her watch Maggie in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to household pets, including seniors and puppies/kittens. I’ve been a foster with Young-Williams Animal Center since 2019 and love providing a safe, happy home for animals who make our lives richer and more loving. I currently work an 8:30 AM–5:00 PM job with a one-hour lunch break and live just five minutes from the office. I also work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me added flexibility. I have a spare bedroom in my condo, and the space I provide depends on the animal’s size. For kittens, I often use the spare bathroom, keeping them warm with food, water, and a litter box nearby. For dogs, I set up their pen in the spare room with all their supplies. I also have a large fenced-in back patio where dogs can go outside, play, and run safely.
“Lola came home happy and tired! I know she enjoyed having a yard to roam since she does not have one at home! Mary was attentive to her needs and monitored for when she needed her meds.”
“Our Barton boy enjoyed every second of being there!! We received picture and video updates the whole time away and could really feel the love they poured into him. You can tell he misses his new friends so much already! 🖤”
“We had to travel overseas and we needed someone to look after our furbaby for over a month period while we were gone. I know it was a big commitment for her but Lauryn went above and beyond taking care of my dog. She sent us videos, pictures throughout and also checked with me for anything unusual. I could feel at ease even when I was away for so long. Thank you so much Lauryn. Dalgu is already looking forward to her next stay with you. 😁”
“Jenny has been taking care of our dog for over 2 years now. I don’t always have the time to write down a review narrative, but I just want to say we are so grateful to have found her. Matilda loves her, and we can enjoy our time away knowing that she is in excellent hands. Matilda has also made longtime friends and we enjoy the videos of her playing with other pets. Thank you so much Jenny for everything!”

“Addison was a great sitter for my two cats! She followed directions, shared lots of videos and played with my cats. She was quick to respond and good with communication. I would definitely hire her again!”

By the end of my 4 day trip, Senga was not only coming out to see and sit with Brooke, she was talking her ear off and playing with toys. I am bery comfortable with Brooke and want to book her for my next trip!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.
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! 🐈🐈⬛
“Rachel took care of my cats for two weeks at my home while I am away for international travelling. My cats are typically scared of others for almost few weeks, but they like her very quickly. She did more than I requested to make my cats happy and share video and photo of them updating their status.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats throughout my life, personal pets and others. I absolutely adore cats and love to watch over them. I am passionate about keeping their space clean, litter clear, water/food fresh and making sure they know they are loved! I will not only make sure the basics are taken care of, your cat will have a new friend as well. I have experience with seniors but not medication administration.
“First time using Rover and I’m so impressed! Becky was amazing! So nice and professional and clearly cares a lot about the animals she checks on. Thank you so much! :)”
“1st time using Haley and rover. My boys are everything and leaving them always scares me esp bc 1 of then is diabetic and need insulin and the recommended feeding regime. Haley did great with them and sent me pics of the boys and was available to chat when I got home for my check in. Will be using her on a permanent basis.”
“Thank you Elaina! Your visits made me less anxious about leaving our kitten behind on a weekend trip. Thank you for the photos and for spending time with our girl. :-)”
“Kathleen took great care of our three cats for a long weekend, including our elderly kitty who needs pills and specially mixed wet food twice a day. She was communicative, sent plenty of photos, and took extra care cleaning up a few barfs. Really appreciate her!”
“Darby was a treasure! She took great care of my cat, playing & giving her affection, as well as going above and beyond keeping things nice in my home. Would definitely book again!”
“Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Izzy is the BEST! She took great care of our unique pets and even offered to run out for a type of food we didn’t have. We will absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!”

“For the first time using Rover, it was an outstanding experience, all thanks to Kristy! She was timely responsive and very friendly. The booking was last minute and our dog has separation anxiety, which both didn’t seem to deter Kristy. Highly recommend Kristy to take care of your furry babies!”
“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.”
“Julianne was so wonderful with Andi for doggy day care! Lots of pets, toys, and pictures. Andi got exactly what she needed which was a long nap and snuggles. Julianne was very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use her again if ever in town!”
About: As a dedicated pet caregiver, I have experience providing loving and attentive care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. From daily walks and playtime to feeding and administering medications, I ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet parents trust me for my reliability, patience, and genuine passion for animals, always treating their furry companions as if they were my own. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to take care your dog and I’m very flexible for boarding times weekdays or weekends I have very long open trail for walking and lot of toys to keep them engaged and my sweet dog Luna(golden retriever) to give your dog the prefect company!!
About: Outdoor enthusiast, runner, & a big fan of dogs. I’ve taken care of pets since before I can remember. I just adopted a new puppy a year and a half ago and was refreshed on what they need in their younger years. Would love to meet more furry buddies & can’t wait to love yours! I am currently taking a work hiatus the next few months, so I’m as free as a bird to spend the most time with your pups! Happy to keep pets in their safest environments, ie fenced yard or crate. If you want them out and about, I am extremely cognizant of reactive dogs and will be happy to take them for nice long walks :)
“Absolutely amazing! They both were so welcoming with our dogs and I felt they were very happy and content right from getting there! Communication was great and the photos/videos really helped put me at ease. Will definitely book again!”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring calm confidence and genuine love to every stay. I also have hands-on training experience with several breeds — basic obedience, leash manners, and good house behavior, from spirited puppies to strong, high-energy dogs. I adapt to each dog's needs: daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and senior care with slower paces and special diets. Your dog will feel safe, understood, and truly at home with me. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I love long walks — your dog will get plenty of them — and I practice yoga daily, which keeps me calm, patient, and present. I'm here for morning outings, midday breaks, and evening wind-downs, with consistent attention, timely meals, and lots of companionship in between. In my home, your dog becomes part of the family. I work from home, so there's always company, regular walks, playtime, and a cozy spot to rest. I follow your pet's routine closely — feeding, medications, and house rules — so they feel right at home. In your home, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking: fresh food and water, potty breaks, long walks, playtime, and lots of affection, plus tidy-up and photo updates so you always know how they're doing.

“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.”

“All I can say is Kenzie is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover.com and prior to Kenzie watching my boy Rudy, I had lots of questions. Kenzie answered all of them (very quickly I might add), and really put my mind at ease. On the day when I brought him to her, they instantly connected! It was like old friends getting back together. She was very kind, welcoming, and loving to him and it was easily seen that she has a heart for animals. At that moment any reservations I had, disappeared! I felt completely comfortable knowing that he was in great and caring hands. It was a great experience and all I know is that if I ever need someone to watch Rudy again; Kenzie is the (only) one!”

About: I grew up with animals, so I learned how to care for them at a young age. My sister worked with a dog training company and often employed my help. Whatever your furball needs, I am the girl! I am a college student who is going to be home for summer break, and I’m looking for a fun way to earn some cash. I will have a lot of free time this summer, so I am excited to get to spend it with animals! I have cared animals of all types (horses, chickens,etc) so there’s nothing new under the sun for me. If you prefer your animal to be crated or in the backyard while I’m away, I have no problem with that. I pride myself on being flexible and adaptable.
About: I have 7+ years of pet care experience and work as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital when I’m not in school! I have the energy and patience your pet needs! I am currently a Pre-Veterinary student at UTK! I’m taking a gap year after I graduate and then hoping to become a small animal veterinarian. I currently work on a dairy farm which I absolutely love and I am walking part-time while I am taking classes! I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (4:05-5:20) so I have plenty of time to get outside and love to do so! My rescue dog is a senior now but still has that chihuahua energy! She can get aggressive with other members of my household so I’m definitely not phased by diffusing that situation. As long as you give her some love she is an angel! She has very few teeth left as well so I have to make her a little concoction of soft food for her meals. No food order is too much for me to take on! I have cared for dogs and cats of all different sizes and dispositions in my time at the veterinary hospital so you don’t need to worry!
About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others throughout my life. I am familiar with dogs, cats and small animals!

I am currently working part-time Wednesday through Friday. I am completely unavailable those days except a morning/night check-in. Saturday-Tuesday I have an open schedule and can be on property as long as needed. Not only will I take care of your fuzzy friend exactly how they need, I am also a great house guest and will ensure your home is in the same condition when you arrive back. I will alert you to anything that may seem wrong on the property and will take care of any pet related messes.
“Rebecca was truly awesome and a huge lifesaver! We had last minute plans and she accepted and responded immediately and was very responsive. She provided multiple updates and many pictures which we appreciated very much. Will definitely book through her again :).”

About: I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure they are comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your furry friend and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means they need to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for you and your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your animal. After all, they are more than that. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with them is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they, or you, prefer!
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two Labs and a Cocker Spaniel, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I've also stayed at multiple families' homes to care for their dogs while they were away, so I'm experienced with keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. My Cocker Spaniel takes daily medication for stomach issues, so I'm confident giving medications and following care routines. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, or just keeping your dog company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently a student at UT, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to work around their routine! When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I'll make sure they're fed on schedule, taken outside regularly, and get one or two walks a day if that's part of their routine. If your dog sleeps in a crate, I'll make sure they're comfortably settled in at bedtime, or I'll leave them out if that's what they're used to. Every pet is different, so I always follow your instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
About: I have owned pets of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. I grew up helping family friends care for shelter dogs prior to adoption including feeding, walking and playing with them. I am a student at the University of Tennessee working at the TRECS and taking classes this summer. Aside from school and work, my schedule is extremely flexible and I am willing to accommodate for whatever hours are needed. I always ensure that the home is in the same condition as when I first arrived. I love spending time with dogs and will stay as long as needed for them to feel comfortable while their family is away.
About: I've always been dedicated to my pets growing up, and loved to meet with other's pets. While I'm relatively new to professional pet care, I've watched my family and friends' pets since my youth! I'm dedicated to communicating with pet parents while I care for their pets to make sure they have the best experience possible. I have experience administering oral (dogs) and transdermal/ear medications (cats). My schedule is currently open and flexible! I am a recent UTK grad, and although I have completed my studies as a college student, I am continuing work on one of my projects, and most of my work is from the computer, and am also partaking in a field internship a couple days out of the week. I am taking a break from other forms of work, so I'm very available to help you with your petsitting needs. I am a morning person and would work well with 'early bird' pets, but can be flexible if a pet needs a late night let out, medication, or other attention during late night hours. I share my house with roommates and their pets, so I'd prefer to watch your pet in your home unless I've gotten to know and built trust with your pet over several visits. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, including time together on the couch watching a show, napping together, or going out for strolls or to the park to relax outside.
About: I’ve raised two dogs of my own from puppyhood and have an understanding of dog training and behavior. My goal is to provide care that is safe, structured, and reliable for you and your dog. I am also happy to offer you a pet portrait during my care! I currently work full-time remote, so can fit walks and care into my day as well as before and after work. I am happy to stay with your dog during the day while I complete my work. I am happy to cater to your dogs specific needs in your home. I understand that dogs are most comfortable in their own space, and want to make dog sitting/care as stressful as possible-free as possible!
About: I work at an ER and specialty medicine clinic so have truly seen it all with dogs of all ages. I work primarily on an internal medicine team and often pick up ER shifts. I have finished my first year of veterinary school and will continue to my second year in the fall, so have all sorts of knowledge about your dog(s)! I grew up with dogs, and have worked as a dog sitter/caretaker for years. My roles have ranged from daily care to basic grooming. I worked as a dog walker for a summer as well, and assisted with grooming this dog in addition to overall basic care. Overall, these qualifications make me an excellent caretaker for your loved ones! I work 8 am-8 pm at a veterinary hospital Monday-Wednesday. Other than that, I got to church Sunday mornings. I’m free the rest of the time! I care for the pets in a client’s home with a holistic approach. I ask specific questions to make sure I understand the animal’s needs and routine before or upon arriving. I want to fit into the animal’s life as an asset to their wellbeing, not as a stressor working against it. I read or listen carefully to instruction to make sure I am well equipped to go above and beyond in loving your pets. They will be my first priority during the time they are in my care, rest assured.
About: I have grown up surrounded by animals my whole life. My parents have 4 dogs and 2 cats, and I have helped care for them in all phases of life. I now have a dog of my own, Banjo, who is 1 year old and so spoiled. I truly just love pets and will treat your animals as if they are my own! I am open to caring for pets of all sizes and ages! I work Monday through Thursday, so my schedule those days is not very flexible. However, I am off Friday through Sunday and am available those days! I know leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be intimidating, but I promise I will care for your animal like it’s my own and give it all the attention and love it deserves. I will send as many (or as few) pictures as you need to know that your baby is in good hands!
About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.

“Kristy was so amazing! She communicated super well and sent lots of pics during our pups’ stay. I could tell she truly loves dogs and took the best care of ours while they were with her. I am super thankful that I knew they were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”
“Erin was amazing with my dogs! Regular updates and pics, took them on adventures and played with them. Gave them all the snuggles and love we couldn't because we were traveling. I will 100% be using her again!”

About: Hilarious pun because I just got a wagon and desperately want to fill it with dogs. Hi! I'm Marlee, I've been fostering and training dogs for about 5 years. Since I moved here I've just been solo with my Goob, and I'm ready to start taking care of dogs again!! While fostering I took care of every make, model, shape, and year of dog, so I can handle any furry friend you send me! I'm working from home at the moment and if im leaving the house I'm going somewhere dog friendly and in nature! I'll always have time to care for your dog! I have completely open availability and im incredibly active, so your pup will always be doing something with me. I go on hikes several times a week, and would be more than happy to pile your pups in my (wag)on -sorry- and take them for a day time adventure!! Im also able to pet sit/board any days of the week. As I mentioned I'm home all the time so you can trust your dog will always be monitored, cared for, and entertained!!
“Our Barton boy enjoyed every second of being there!! We received picture and video updates the whole time away and could really feel the love they poured into him. You can tell he misses his new friends so much already! 🖤”
“We had to travel overseas and we needed someone to look after our furbaby for over a month period while we were gone. I know it was a big commitment for her but Lauryn went above and beyond taking care of my dog. She sent us videos, pictures throughout and also checked with me for anything unusual. I could feel at ease even when I was away for so long. Thank you so much Lauryn. Dalgu is already looking forward to her next stay with you. 😁”
“Jenny has been taking care of our dog for over 2 years now. I don’t always have the time to write down a review narrative, but I just want to say we are so grateful to have found her. Matilda loves her, and we can enjoy our time away knowing that she is in excellent hands. Matilda has also made longtime friends and we enjoy the videos of her playing with other pets. Thank you so much Jenny for everything!”
“This was our second time using Jordyn as a sitter. She has been super easy to work with and I can tell that my dog is in great hands! Ginger was so excited when we pulled in the driveway and could not get in the door fast enough which says a lot!!! Thank you!!!”
“Bridget took great care of my dog Licorice. She gave her medication as scheduled and kept me updated on how Licorice was doing and sent me some great pics. I really appreciate that she takes only 1 dog at a time, and her 2 dogs are very friendly and got along great with Licorice.”
“Here’s a warmer and more polished version: Sallie was the best sitter we’ve ever had on Rover! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and thoughtful messages about how Yumi was doing, how she was eating, and even shared her favorite spots around her place. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Yumi was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Sallie to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our baby!”
“They were amazing!!! Such a loving family with tons of experience. I’d trust them with my kid if I had one haha! Dexter sent me photos and gave updates 24/7 without me having to ask, my dog had an amazing time there. 100% would recommend!!”
“Oso loves staying at Calebs! He had a great yard and other pups to play with which is Oso’s ideal situation. He always comes back tired and happy :) highly recommend!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Drop off and pick up went very smoothly. I could tell my pup had a great time with Kane and his dogs. Highly recommend working with Kane for any future Pet stays/needs. Kane was also very accommodating due to Rufus staying with him over the Christmas/Holiday break. Thank you, Kane!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with my Maltese dog Maddy, She was attentive, kind, and really took the time to make sure my dog felt safe and settled. I loved how communicative she was throughout the stay—sending updates and little notes that helped me relax knowing Maddy was in good hands. It’s clear Katie genuinely cares about animals, and Maddy picked up on that immediately. She came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Katie again, and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone warm, reliable, and truly attuned to pets’ needs. Thank you, Katie—you were amazing”
