“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 !”
“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!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”

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.

“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! 🐾💜🐾”

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.
“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’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’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. 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.

I have 15+ years of experience caring for pets of my own and am comfortable with any breed or size as well as a few other species besides cats and dogs. I am good at reading behavior, keeping up with any training you ask me to, and administering any medications or special instructions needed I am currently on summer break so I am completely available all day to spend time with your loving pet. I do have pets of my own that are friendly so I can either bring your pets to me, or make trips to spend some time during the day with yours. I typically feed my pets twice a day but can adapt to whatever feeding schedule you need. With my own dog still being young, we go out a minimum of 3 times a day but usually more. If the weather is nice we spend some time outside. I also have a crate and can crate your pet if need be for a short period. If your pet is NOT crate trained I do require them to be house trained.

“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.”

About: With years of experience caring for all kinds of animals—from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, and more. I have a huge heart for all furry friends. I've welcomed so many pets into my home, from beloved companions to strays and rescues looking for love. Every animal deserves kindness and attention, and I take pride in creating a safe, cozy space for them. Whether it's snuggling with a dog, playing with a curious cat, or helping a shy pet feel safe, I treat every animal like family. Let me give your pet the same love and care I’ve shared with all the animals in my life! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As an Equine-Assisted Psychotherapist (I get to work with people and animals at the same time, it truly doesn't get any better), I have the flexibility to work when I choose, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate various schedules. This means I can give your pets the time and attention they need, whether it's daily visits, longer stays, or just making sure they're happy and comfortable throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy by maintaining their usual routine, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, favorite toys, or daily walks. I take extra care to notice the details that matter to them—whether it’s a particular spot they love to nap in or their favorite way to play—so they feel secure and content in your absence. My goal is to make everything easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. By keeping things familiar and showering them with love, I’ll ensure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’m a dog lover with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide 24/7 care for your Pups. I own my own home with plenty of indoor space, a large fenced in yard, dog beds, toys and a safe neighbourhood to go on long walks. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and have fostered and rehomed a number of strays that found their way to my door. I have no formal teaching as a dog trainer but I lived for 7 years with a professional dog trainer and, in addition to helping train their pack, I assisted their work with clients rehabilitating fearful and aggressive dogs. Because I work for myself and most of my work is done from home I am avalible to give your pets ample time and attention. It is easy for me to adjust to their particular feeding, medication and potty schedules and I am rarely gone from the house for more than 2 hours at a time. I have a pet and child free home which allows me to create a safe stay for older and anxious pets that need comfort and quiet, as well as dogs that do not play will with others. Dogs that stay here have the run of the first floor. I have dog beds, a basket of toys (inside and out) a food and water dish that gets sterilised in the dishwasher between stays and ample treats to spoil them with. Pups that are used to sleeping in the bed room or in bed join me upstairs at bed time. I allow pets on my furniture unless that is against the rules at home, in which case I will respect your rules and snuggle them on the floor! If your dog is used to using a crate please be prepared to bring that with you as I do not have one in my home. The yard is large and fully fenced and secure. I do not leave pups outside unattended to assure safety but dogs who like to be outside will get lots of play time chasing tennis balls and lounging in the shade while I garden. Poo is picked up as it’s left for general cleanliness and sanitation. I only house one family of dogs at a time for ease and safety. There are occasional exceptions but only with explicit consent from both families and a trial intro to make sure everyone gets along well. I do not charge an additional dog rate for a second dog but each additional dog after two (third or fourth) will be a +30$ a night.
About: I’ve been blessed to have several dogs in my life and I have treated each one with love and respect! Currently, Emmitt the golden doodle (9 years old) is my fur baby and I love him with all of my heart. He is so sweet and lovable and gets along great with other dogs! I can’t wait to get to know your fur baby and spend time with him or her! I love to take dogs on walks and care for them as if they were my own. I live near a dog park and I also have a quiet small suburb area in which I live in. It would be my pleasure to put your mind at ease when it comes to your furry family member’s safety and care!
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!

“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 !”
“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!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
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.
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.
“Emily is the best! She takes such great care of my pup and is so flexible! I truly appreciate how much time and energy she gives to making sure my bulldog has the best experience possible when she is with him. Highly recommend!”
“Very responsive and proactive with sending pictures/walking Stanley to give us peace of mind. Very thankful and appreciative of Joseph’s help. Our dog seemed very comfortable and happy with his care!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Somer did an amazing job looking after my 14-year-old beagle mix. It’s hard leaving a senior behind but Somer put my mind at ease. I’d recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking 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: 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: Hi! I’m Anna! I am willing to take care of everything your pet/s may need from exercise, to controlling a situation the best way possible if your pet/s have anxiety or medical issues. I have experience administering oral medications and being extra cautious with my now passed boxer who has had multiple knee surgeries, to insulin shots for my now passed 20 year old diabetic, severely anxious cat. I will pay attention to any special instructions and make sure your pet has a good time! 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’ll treat your animals the same way I treat mine, thanks for reading. I do work full time in person so I am only able to care for your pet every 8 hrs, unless you’re right by my work place in north Knox! I am respectful of clients homes and leave them in better condition than when I initially enter them. I’ll vacuum or sweep if you’d like, I don’t mind at all. 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 grown up with dogs, and I have a big 110 pound lovable anxious boy dog and I have been trained to build his confidence and take him on enjoyable walks- with lots of patience and treats! I also have a cat and can appreciate all personalities of cats! My schedule is very open and flexible! I am willing to move my own personal schedule around for my clients needs and requests for their pets. I make sure to create an environment to make animals feel safe and spoiled. I appreciate all personalities of animals and make sure they always feel loved!
“Sallie was amazing! Penny was very happy staying with her. She got lots of walking and play time and snuggles at night. Sallie was very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos and videos. We definitely will plan on future stays with her!”
