“For some reason my review didn't go through back when Mabel stayed with them.... Viviana and Brian were amazing and my dog loved their house. One thousand percent recommend.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“What a wonderful experience! Joan’s communicating was top notch from our initial conversation. Her calm and loving demeanor with my dogs and my family gave us a sense of comfort before we even left her doorstep. Joan had nothing but kind words and sweet insight for us. My pups had a lovey stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Joan!”
“So happy that we can visit friends and family and leave Minnie in good hands! Her medicine and treats are given with care and love seeing the photo updates of our dog.”
“Kathy is truly amazing! My hound dog is not like other dogs and needs a lot of reassurance, love and space to feel space! Kathy provides just that environment. She responded to me promptly each time I check in on keepsake and made sure he was happy and well cared for! I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”
“Victoria and Charles were kind and welcoming as always and Buttercup always leaves their place so happy. They are lovely and treat my baby like their own. I can't thank them enough ❤️”
“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”
“Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter. She send me texts and pictures daily about how my dog was doing. Michelle gave me peace of mind knowing my dog is safe, happy and well take care of.”
“Elisha seemed to have a great time! There was a big yard for him to explore, and other dogs to hang out with. Tami was great to work with, and everything went smoothly in terms of dropping Elisha off and picking him back up.”
“I have boarded my dog with Kristy twice now, and it’s been a great experience both times! My biggest issue with conventional boarding facilities was that no one seemed to be able to give Rocky his medications correctly, but Kristy has been on top of it. She communicates well, sends pictures, and updates frequently. Rocky is an anxious dog and can be very particular about his space, but Kristy didn’t have any issues with this and knows dog behavior well. As long as she’s available I’ll book in the future!”
“Anyone with a 2-year old English Lab knows they can be a lot of energy to take watch. But Emma and Alex Did so with ease. They took our boy in and cared for him like their own, even when it meant getting up with our spoiled little guy several times his first night away from home. The pictures, videos and updates were very appreciated, and we can’t say enough good things about the care Sully received while we were away. Thank you Both!!”
“Sandra was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Stayed in communication to update how well MJ was doing. Loves the pics she sent. He really enjoyed the weekend! Would def book with Sandra again”
“Stephanie is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
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.
“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”
“Kelly is amazing! We left our beautiful Ivy for 11 days to go back to the Northeast. We have never left her for this long and we were a bit worried. Well, Kelly was truly incredible. We could tell right away how much she cares about animals. It appeared that Ivy liked Kelly right away. Kelly kept up well informed EVERY day of Ivy’s progress and anytime we initiated contact asking about Ivy, Kelly responded within minutes. We received many photos and several videos of our beautiful dog. We were very much at ease while we were away enjoying a long vacation after the Covid-19 ordeal our country has been going through. Kelly, God has a special place for people like you,”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Brittany is WONDERFUL! She looked after our Siberian kitty for 3 days while we were away for Thanksgiving and did a phenomenal job. She provided photo updates and made sure our girl was fed and felt loved while we were away. Will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Betty was amazing. She took care of my littles and gave each of them xtra love. my senior cat was not felling well and she sent photos and kept me updated on him throughout my 4 days away.”
“Taylor was a delight to talk to, and showed a real love of animals. She gets my Bobby- he is the shy guy that loves to eat, but not one to hang out. She took helpful pictures and made my time away, peaceful.”
“Gidget did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 cats while we were out of town! She followed all of our instructions, communicated daily, and even kept our cats company during her visits. She took extra care to make sure both cats ate their meals and got plenty of petting and playtime. We can't wait to book her again!”
“Cody and Rachel saved my sanity! My usual Rover got sick and I contacted them at the last minute to cover. They did an excellent job!! It was comforting knowing that my fur babies were safe while I was out of town. Thank you! Thank you!”
“Thank you Gretchen for watching our cat while we were away. I had about 30 large boxes for work show up to our house unexpectedly and she brought all of them in! Great communication”
About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.

“Sarah is truly a lover of animals who is LOVED by animals. She is also a gifted photographer. I saw my cats flourish in her care through her photos that she sent me as often as I wanted!!! My two shy boys really came out of their shell with Sarah. And the two affectionate cats sought for her attention every chance they could! It was a gift to receive photos of my pets during her stay & their experiences together. Sarah is a wonderful communicator too. She is just a text away. If you are worried about your pets getting quality care, Sarah is the one for you!! She ensures they get all the love, food, meds they need.”

“Danita gave us peace of mind to enjoy ourselves at an event where dogs were not allowed, by sending updates of our Jozey with pictures. Great communication and a very nice person! We would hire her again for sure. Thank you Danita!”
“Before Patrick's multiple stays with Mrs. Tabatha, I was new and little apprehensive to the whole doggie daycare thing. Tabatha immediately made me feel at ease. I trust her completely with the care of my pup. She is knowledgeable and treats the pets as her own. I know Patrick is looking forward to more days spent chasing squirrels in her yard!”

“Tracy was great! With a pretty last minute request, she took great care of my older dog, provided pictures during the day, and was super responsive in communication. I'd recommend Tracy to anyone and will definitely use her again if we're in the area.”
“Rachel was so helpful taking care of my sweet puppy even when he wasn’t feeling his greatest the day she had him! She gave regular updates and even offered son advice to help remedy his upset tummy! She is fantastic!”
“Zach was great! He watched Sadie during the day for 2 days while we hiked. Dogs just sense things and I felt confident when she was wagging her tail when she walking in. And she was happy to be left there the next morning. Wish he lived in Iowa so I could have him care for Sadie more often. Thanks Zach your the best!”
“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”
“Shyann was so kind and patient with me as the owner and absolutely doted on Charlie. She sent me multiple updates and photos through the day so I knew Charlie was having as much fun away from me as possible. I felt so safe leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her!”
About: I ONLY BOARD FEMALES ☺️ Hello! My name is Mara and I would love to help with your furbabies while you are away and cant! Loving and compassionate towards any and all animals! I am a dog mom myself and know the struggles of finding a safe and loving place while away! I offer overnight stays, dog walking, and drop ins! I have 2 female dobermans who are gentle giants. One is 4 years old and i also have a 1 year old. She LOVES playing and having friends around! Small or large!! I can assure you that your dog/cat would be more than at home here and treated just as my own. I also have a 14 year old son who loves animals as well and really enjoys helping out with their needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so your pet will never be alone or crated all day! I have a fenced in front and back yard that are separated, they are let out very frequently as we go in and out all the time and they go freely as they want since it's all fenced in! There is nothing around my home that isn't safe for them they are part of the family when they are here! I work from home, so I am always here with them! No different from any other day except four extra paws and a new friend 😍 I have a fenced yard. The front is separated from the back so they can go out together or separately. Besides that they run free in my home, possibly crated at night time so we don't have any uh ohs!
“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!”
“I highly recommend Tracey, she took such wonderful care of my girl, Roxy. Tracey was great at communicating and she kept me updated on Roxy’s well being throughout the day and I received plenty of pics. If you’re staying in Gatlinburg or pigeon Forge and need someone to take care of your pup, I again highly recommend Tracey!”
“Great, super easy to work with sitter! She accepted my booking even though drop off was only 12 hours away which was so helpful after another sitter last minute canceled. She also let me change the pickup time last minute which was so appreciated! She sent pics and played with Mo and was just a super easy and great experience! 10/10 recommend for sure! Very nice home and nice neighborhood and just overall great experience!”
About: Pet care in our home is truly a calling for me. I have over 35 years of experience caring for animals, and I humbly believe God has given me a special gift for working with them. I provide hands-on, attentive care every day, including walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and—most importantly—genuine affection and companionship. I offer a calm, structured, and nurturing environment where pets are treated like family, not just clients. I am comfortable working with a wide variety of pets and take the time to understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive patient, individualized care, plenty of interaction, and a safe, loving place to feel at home while you’re away. Pet care is woven into my daily routine. Between homeschooling our daughter and managing our home and all the projects of our Farm, caring for animals through feeding, walks, training, playtime, and supervision is a consistent, intentional part of every day! I care for pets in our home as if they are part of our family. They receive a safe, calm environment with structured routines that include feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and one-on-one attention. I take time to understand each pet's personality, comfort level, and needs, whether that means active engagement, gentle training, or quiet companionship. Pets are closely supervised, shown patience and kindness, and given plenty of affection so they feel secure, respected, and at home while in my care.
“Jenny was absolutely WONDERFUL with our 2 frenchies! I was nervous about leaving them with someone I didn't know but Jenny took the time to send me pictures, videos, and messages so I knew they were ok. My dogs LOVED her and were sad to leave her house. I highly recommend Jenny and will definitely use her again!!”
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. I learned how to care for them very early on in my childhood and that experience fostered my passionate love for all animals. I believe in caring for them, not just as pets, but members of our families. I am flexible with my routine so I can meet the varying needs of the doggies that stay with us. We can discuss more in depth when you inquire to book. I have a spacious, fenced in back yard that is perfect for zoomies and playtime! My home is open and welcoming. I have lots of space for them to hangout or to relax in their kennel.
“We LOVE Sam! Finn gets to hang out with Sam’s dog Brody in their backyard and cool off inside for naps during the day! He came home tired and happy. Sam was very easy to schedule and lovely to work with! I would recommend Sam to anyone!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every age since 14 years old. I have experience working for professional boarding services as well as for friends and family. I love dogs and would love to help care for yours! I'm currently a remote, online university student so my schedule is very flexible and open to any needed care arrangements. I can be there whenever your dog needs. I live in a house with my girlfriend who also works remotely and loves animals. I care about providing a healthy, safe, and enjoyable environment for your pet to stay in. They'll always be treated like family.
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.

About: I have taken care of many fur babies since I was 6 years old.

I am available everyday of the week except Sunday 11am-11pm! I can also stay in home over nights upon request. Sundays reserved for sittings only.

I love all the fur babies out there and am excited for them to love me too!

About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years.

I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.

About: I have experience with all different types of pets and have paid experience the past six years. I will make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels happy and loved while you’re away. During sits my wife tends to join me. She’s also very experienced with animals and has farm and exotic animal experience. If this is something you are not comfortable with, I am happy to adjust this.

Safety is always a top priority and your pups will always be kept on the same type of schedule they have when they are with you to ensure they aren’t thrown off their routine when you return.
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around.

Thomas is 10/10!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12. I not only have had 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own, but have also been caring for the animals of my family friends and relatives. I have been a drop-in sitter, dog walker, overnight sitter, and helped with bath time. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as I had both growing up and dog sat a 6 week old puppy who is now 3 (whom I still care for)! I look forward to helping you! I am a current college student and am currently working part time with flexible hours. I am looking to help families or individuals with home-drop ins, pet sitting, dog walking, etc. I currently do not have a set work schedule so I am very flexible for the time being but will be in touch if anything changes!

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!

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I recently lost my own dog after 8 wonderful years together, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I’ve dog sat for multiple families and am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, potty training, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love being around animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule can vary slightly week to week, but I do my best to stay flexible and communicate clearly with pet owners. I’m available for walks, pet sitting, and check-ins throughout the week whenever my schedule allows. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and handling puppies that may need extra patience or potty training support. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and safe walks and playtime. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I would want for my own animals.

“For some reason my review didn't go through back when Mabel stayed with them.... Viviana and Brian were amazing and my dog loved their house. One thousand percent recommend.”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”
“Elisha seemed to have a great time! There was a big yard for him to explore, and other dogs to hang out with. Tami was great to work with, and everything went smoothly in terms of dropping Elisha off and picking him back up.”
“I have boarded my dog with Kristy twice now, and it’s been a great experience both times! My biggest issue with conventional boarding facilities was that no one seemed to be able to give Rocky his medications correctly, but Kristy has been on top of it. She communicates well, sends pictures, and updates frequently. Rocky is an anxious dog and can be very particular about his space, but Kristy didn’t have any issues with this and knows dog behavior well. As long as she’s available I’ll book in the future!”
“Anyone with a 2-year old English Lab knows they can be a lot of energy to take watch. But Emma and Alex Did so with ease. They took our boy in and cared for him like their own, even when it meant getting up with our spoiled little guy several times his first night away from home. The pictures, videos and updates were very appreciated, and we can’t say enough good things about the care Sully received while we were away. Thank you Both!!”
“Stephanie is incredibly kind and the perfect sitter for our Boston terrier! Her home was inviting and so clean. This is the person you want watching your dog! We will use her again next time we book on Rover.”
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.
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“We brought our girls on a Tennessee road trip from Texas, and April watched them while we spent a few days in the Pigeon Forge area. She has an amazing setup for dog-sitting. Your pups will be safe and loved while you are away.”
“Sully had another great stay with Jessica, her kids, and his new best buddy Tucker! We have definitely found our ‘go to’ care provider for our Little Man when we need to be away. Thank you Jessica and Fam”
“Had a great experience with Erin with my pup. She kept me informed of how my pup was doing throughout his stay with pictures and texts. He was super well cared for and have no problems using Erin again in the future.”
“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!”
“Tabatha (& her whole family, of course) was great; Gracious to me when I dropped Dooley off and picked him up, Responsive to Dooley, Engaging with me as well as with Dooley, Attentive to Dooley’s feeding, water & play time, and Timely in communicating with me when I texted or called. G.R.E.A.T! I’d definitely use her again. This was my first experience with Rover. I’ll be back.”
“Savannah had a good time with Joe, she got to go on walks, have her treats and just chill out on his couch with him. It didn't take her very long to roll over to get her tummy rubbed, either. Joe kept me updated with photos of her and I texted him with little things I forgot to mention. We will definitely be having Joe take care of her again!”
“Cassie and her family are so great with Grainger. They treat him as one of their own. He’s always excited to go to their home. So glad we found them for when we go away.”
