“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
“My pups love it here! They are well cared for, and it is definitely their home away from home because Kristy makes sure it feels that way! We will definitely book her again and again :D”
“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.”

“Our dog had a fabulous time, made new friends (both dog and human) and was very well taken care of during her time there. We do not hesitate to recommend Nicole and Dexter to other pet parents!”

“Felt confident that Scout was being loved and cared for. Penny sent pics and videos and kept us updated on how Scout was doing. Would absolutely recommend Penny and use her again.”
“Lucia and her husband were absolutely amazing with my Charlie! Him and Milo played and played for the entire week and became best buds. She provided constant updates, I never even had to worry for a second about my baby. They treated Charlie just like they’re own and you could tell by how happy he always was! If your looking for a sitter don’t pass up Lucia and her family. ?”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Kiki and her family took wonderful care of my dog Emmitt! She sent plenty of updates and pictures and kept me informed on how the stay was going :) I highly recommend her!”
“He was great! 10/10 recommend! I could trust him with my crazy hyper Doberman and she felt right at home. He kept her updated and spent so much time with her. Will definitely use again.”

“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!”

“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!”
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.
“Jenny is amazing!! Not only she took such a good care of Matilda, but she kept me posted about how she was doing by sending videos and pictures of Matilda having a blast. That allowed us to enjoy our vacations knowing Matilda was in great hands. When we picked her up I could see how confortable Matilda was at her house and Jenny gave her a shower and she was looking sparkling clean. Thank you for absolutely everything!!”

“As always, Rachel took amazing care of my baby and sent me the cutest pictures and updates while I was out of town. I couldn’t be more grateful to have her to take care of my cat Goose when I’m away. She is reliable, kind, and Goose absolutely loves her.”
“Leah was amazing. Great communication. She went above and beyond for us and always reached out with questions and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Lucia was amazing and took such great care of our two cats one of whom is elderly and diabetic. She sent us sweet photos of them so we could see how they were doing and was very communicative with us. When we arrived home the litter boxes were tidy and clean and the cats were happy and relaxed. I’d give her 6 stars if I could!”
“Courtney was available last minute to swing by and let my golden boy out. Flexible with timing and great communication. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Our cat, Dogwood, is our whole world, so we’re a bit particular about who watches him. We feel completely at ease when Gretchen takes care of Dogwood. She sends plenty of cute pictures of him, plays with him, and clearly loves him like we do! You can trust Gretchen to go above and beyond when taking care of your pet.”
“Grace took such good care of our cat, Mabs! She sent sweet pictures and her communication was wonderful! We could thoroughly relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Mabs was in great hands! Highly recommend!”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Ms. Jordan has been wonderful! From the initial interview meeting to scheduled then cancelled visits, to the real thing - she's been very communicative. Our fur kids loved her visit, and I did too. We received updates and pics. We're grateful to have found her! I hate to recommend her though because that means she may be too bust and not able to come when we need her. ;-) I won't be selfish like that though. Thank you, Ms. Jordan.”
“Reagan was an excellent petsitter for my two cats. She sent thorough updates and cute pictures each day. My cats were both happy when I returned, and not stressed like they have been with other sitters. I can tell she really took good care of them.”
About: We are a dog-loving family of 3 that will care for your pups like they were our own (which means lots of love)! Also, we have a great property for pet care, so your dog(s) will feel like they're on their own private doggie get-away vacation! Dexter and I both work from home, so at least one of us is always around the home to care for your pets! Our two dogs Yoshi and Puma are our doggie diplomats; they always do a great job of making new dogs feel comfortable and welcome. We have a large solarium with big windows attached to the front of our house, which we use as a doggy room - our two friendly dogs love hanging out in here and often chill and nap on the staircase platforms, barking at squirrels and what not, observing the front yard's happenings. It is their safe place. We also have a laminated living room/kitchen area with dog beds and our couch if they prefer hanging out there instead. We pretty much are hanging out and caring for dogs at all times of the day. Pet sitting has become nicely integrated into our daily lives and routines. We adore dogs so we always will make sure they are well cared for and have what they need to be happy!
“Taylor is an absolute sweetheart, and my cat loved her! She's slow to warm up to people, but I know she's gonna miss Taylor. She was on time and reliable, and gave me thorough updates with lots of cute photos! I'll definitely be booking her again.”
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'll always have a soft spot in my heart for cats. I grew up with two at home, and now I care for and love on my own and my roommate's on the daily. In combination with cat boarding work and cat sitting for countless friends and family members, I am more than comfortable checking-in on, enriching, and loving on our lovely felines!
“Izzy did a great job watching my cat while I was away. She kept him entertained, made sure he was taken care of, and paid attention to all his needs. It was a relief knowing he was in good hands the whole time. Thank you Izzy!”
“Jataelynn is an awesome pet sitter! She went above and beyond to watch my cat Alfred while I was away for a week. She was quick to respond to messages and sent frequent updates. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Hello! I’m Tracy. I’m a homemaker, home full time, lover of all animals, only have 1 dog (corgi), and have a LARGE fenced in backyard. I’m dedicated to caring for your pet with the same love and devotion I show my own. I have plenty of space in my home to house dogs in separate areas if needed. Dogs in my care are never left together unsupervised. Home is smoke-free and have no children. I'd be delighted to care for your furry family member! Let me give your beloved pet the love, attention, and safe haven they deserve. Any size dogs are welcome! ============================= ⭐️ Are you NEW to Rover? Ask me how you can save on your first Rover service! 🐾🐾♥️ ✨ Not new to Rover but interested in savings? Ask me about it! *Will require a phone call* 📞 ============================= I’ve babysat friends and family’s dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, chickens 🐓 , fish 🐠, and plants 🪴. I’ve also fostered dogs, love them like my own, until they were adopted. I have experience with dogs who have stranger anxiety, thunderstorm fears, and epilepsy. I can administer oral medication. ============================= I have one Pembroke Welsh corgi and as much as I love the breed, I don’t discriminate. I love all dogs, all shapes, sizes, and breeds. My first corgi was adopted in 2014. He was found wandering in the Texas heat covered in fleas with no collar or microchip. I bathed him, treated the fleas, put up signs and no one called for him. At the time, the vet estimated him to be 1-2 years old. He was with us for 11.5 years; he crossed the rainbow bridge on 12/05/25. 🐾🐾🌈💙 My female corgi is 10 years old. I’ve had her since she was 5 months old, and she still acts like a young pup, very vocal, super sweet, and loves to play fetch. She can be calm and chill too; she enjoys lounging in her kennel. ============================= I'm overjoyed to open my home and heart to your beloved pet! 🐾🐾♥️ Giving them the love, attention, and connection they deserve isn't just a responsibility - it's a true passion of mine. I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, enriching environment. Your dog will receive: ✅ personalized attention ✅ PAWsitive reinforcement (pets and treats; please let me know if your dog has any known allergies or sensitivities) ✅ regular exercise and potty breaks ✅ plenty of snuggles ============================== Whether you need daily visits, boarding, or extended care, I'm committed to giving your furry family member the same love and care that I would give to my own. I can send you updates and photos. Understanding the demands of your busy lifestyle/vacation, I offer easy drop-off and pick-up options that can conveniently align with your work or travel schedule (depending on how close you are, price is negotiable). From bouncy, rambunctious puppies to gentle seniors, I've got the expertise and heart to deliver personalized care that meets the unique needs of every furry friend, no matter their age or stage. ============================== Accidents happen, but damages or extra cleaning due to undisclosed habits may incur a fee. Let's chat about how I can help care for your loyal companion! *** Important note: If your dog marks inside, I consider them not fully potty trained. I strive to work with well-trained dogs to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all. Of course, I’m aware that puppies are still a work in progress. If your dog marks inside, they will be wearing a belly band during their stay with me. For each belly band they go through, there will be a $10 charge added for cleaning. *** ============================== I live on the border of Sevierville and Seymour. My neighborhood is peaceful. My secure backyard is doggy paradise! With plenty of space and grass to run around, play, explore, and do their business, I supervise closely to ensure all dogs have a blast together - and intervene if any furry friends need a break. My dogs and my clients’ dogs are never left outside unsupervised. I like to go on walks and would love to have a companion if that’s something your dog enjoys 🦮. I don’t have children so if your dog is uncomfortable around little people, no worries, none are here. ==============================
About: Hi there! I’m Ansley. I live in South Knoxville and work in animal science. I have over 10 years of experience caring for other people’s animals, and nearly 22 years of caring for my own pets. I worked in both small and large animal vet clinics as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable giving medications and treating ill or elderly pets. I have two Labrador retrievers (6 years old and 6 months old) and a Manx cat that needs extra attention due to some health issues. I’m a very active person and frequently walk or run with my own dogs, so if you’re just looked for the occasional walk to get your pup’s energy out, I’m your gal! I also have a fenced in backyard so if you’re interested in a play date, message me and we can work something out! My boys love new friends. Unfortunately, my cat does not do well with other cats, but he LOVES dogs. He was a rescue as a kitten from the clinic I worked in, so he grew up around the dog boarding kennels and 100% thinks he’s one of them. I know Rover is for dogs and cats, but if you or anyone you know is looking for assistance with farm animals, I can help there too. I currently work in the dairy industry but have experience caring for all livestock species. I have BSA and MS degrees in Animal and Dairy Science. I’m available mostly during weekends and evenings during the week however my job is flexible and I can do drop in visits during my lunch, as well as on my way to work in the mornings. I’m happy to provide drop in visits and walks in client’s homes. As mentioned previously, I do have animals of my own and would be open to bringing a dog to my house if they are friendly and play well with others. I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs love. I cannot bring other cats into my house due to my own cat’s distaste for others, but he is fine with dogs.

“Jenny was very accommodating with Millie’s needs. She is clearly attuned to dog behavior and is experienced. I felt completely comfortable leaving my 80 lb “puppy” with her!”
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!
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.
About: I have a genuine passion for caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I love being active and going on walks, and I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m currently enrolled in a doctoral program and complete my coursework from home, which gives me full control of my schedule and plenty of flexibility. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. I am in school full time at home so my schedule is very flexible and likely can adjust to you and your pets personal needs! I have a friendly 30 pound dog who does well with others. I also have a yard for your pet to run and play in!
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life, and currently own 2 of them. I’ve always shown a love for animals! I have spent my entire life with dogs and have taken care of others for family friends and neighbors while they were away. I have also spent a significant amount of time caring for dogs through Rover. As for cats, I have never personally owned any but again have spent a lot of time with them through Rover and love to take care of them! I work 8:30-4:30 as a medical assistant at an ENT Monday through Friday. Other than that, I should be available to take care of your pets! If it’s for drop-in visits, I can make time during my lunch break to let your dog out! In my apartment I will be sure to refill food and water at required times and can go for walks as needed. As for at your home, it is important to know that I am a very calm, gentle, and responsible person and will make sure things go smoothly at your home with whatever requests you have for the visits.
“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!”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tabatha -- she was willing to watch our dog for the day on super short notice and was very accommodating for us. She has a fantastic yard that our dog loved playing in. Our 2 y/o Aussie came back to us tired out, which is not an easy feat -- he had such a great time. Highly recommended!”
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.
About: I provide low-volume, personalized boarding for dogs who deserve more than a kennel experience. I intentionally accept only a small number of dogs at a time so every pup receives plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and individualized care. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and reptiles. As a dental student, attention to detail, communication, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, cuddly, food-motivated, or has a very specific routine, I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy so they can truly enjoy their stay. A typical day includes plenty of outdoor playtime in my large fenced backyard, lots of attention, couch naps, treats (with owner approval!), enrichment, and quality one-on-one time. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. Some dogs want to spend hours running around the yard, while others are happiest curled up next to me while I study. Either way, they’ll be included in my daily routine and treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: I want your dog to be excited when they arrive and exhausted from fun when they go home! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a large fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and closely supervise all interactions. Before every stay, I take time to learn your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, sleeping preferences, medications, and any special needs so I can provide the smoothest transition possible. I also provide frequent photo updates and communication throughout the stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and cared for.
About: I grew up with all different kinds of animals and have petsitting experience taking care of cats and dogs. I love spending time with animals and the joy they bring! At this time, my schedule is mostly open and I am accepting new clients. I am available during the week and weekends as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I have 2 dogs myself, a pit mix and beagle. They are truly the beat companions. I can do drop-in visits, doggy daycare (can be customized to your dog’s needs / wants), overnight boarding in our home, and dog walks!
“Mysty was so happy with Lauryn because she was so attentive to Mysty and her son, he played with her son for hours!! She sent me pics and 1 video that made me and my hubby laugh so hard!! Her son was FANTASTIC and they chased each other around the house!! I would I highly recommend Lauryn to anyone!! She took care of our Mysty soo well!! We will use her alway!! 100 OUT OF 10!!”
“Awesome! This was our second visit and we will continue to use Ryan and his family to watch our babies. They go above and beyond! Annie even had a robe 😄 And they send so many adorable pictures and videos! Thoughtful, kind and caring 😊”
“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: Specifically I understand the needs of French Bulldogs in certain weather conditions. I also understand other short legged friends that need accommodations and have restrictions such as jumping off furniture or when playing not throwing things too high. I run my own business but have a flexible schedule. I am also a grad student who is about to graduate and will open more time in my schedule. Currently I am available various times during the week with a lot of availability on the weekends. My pup has accommodations in every room of the house. I make sure he has the right food bowls for his breed (elevated and tilted). He also has a variety of toys and doggy door to go sunbathe or potty anytime of the day. I understand cleaning up after our furry friends and making sure they have exactly what they need.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years and absolutely love it. I jump at the chance when a friend or family asks me to take care of their pets! I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter where we got to play with the animals, learn about their behaviors, and clean up after them. My favorite thing to do is take them on walks or just simply hang out. I have lots of experience pet sitting and would love to take care of yours! I’m currently working part-time from home and have flexible hours during the week and weekend. I’d be happy to help out with your pet whenever you need. I have a family dog who I feed, take outside, and play with when I am back home. I am able to do the same for yours!
About: Just kidding, I do love a lint roller. Dogs have the kindest souls and should be treated as such. I've had a dog the majority of my life, starting with a Visla, mixed breed bulldog, and a black labrador retriever in our house when I was a child. I have owned two mixed american staffordshire terriers and a golden retriever myself. When I write it all down, it seems like a lot. I've cared for them as puppies, through life, surgeries, and health, and at the end of life. I am gentle and let dogs interact with me on their terms. I am open to caring for all types of dogs. I am a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my schedule is very flexible. I also don't get a lot of vacation time, so I'm usually in Knoxville. I can care for pets throughout the day, doing my lab work intermittently. I treat my client's home and pets with the utmost respect. I am there to do the job for which you hired me and nothing else, and you can count on me for it.
About: I’ve had and cared for pets almost my whole life, I have experience with pets of all types and sizes. I personally have a cat and an English bulldog, but i have experience caring for everything from small animals such as guinea pigs, to large dogs such as bulldogs/pit bulls. i’m typically available for pet sitting from 8am-8pm Monday-Friday and anytime after 10am on Saturdays and Sundays. However I am flexiable if your pet needs more I can check in more often and possibly through the night. I care for your pets in their home where they feel most safe and comfortable, rather than in an unfamiliar area as I feel it makes it easier on them.
About: We have had all types of pets growing up that I have cared for. I have been dog sitting for years for family and family friends as well. I am a college student with a flexible online schedule!! I am available to sleep over if your pet needs overnight company as well. Message me and I can work around whatever your pet needs. Feel free to check out the pictures I have up on my profile of the animals I have taken care of:) I feed and give water, clean up after as needed, go for walks and play. I love taking them to the dog park as well and have a safe vehicle if that is an option you are willing to trust me with.
About: I have taken care of many fur babies since I was 6 years old. Most of the family animals have had health issues that has taught me how to administer medication, give baths, clip nails, and more. Cat and dog friendly! 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 currently have two cats who are very shy so I do not offer over night stays in my own home. However, I am more than happy to do over nights in the clients home. I have experience administering medicine by pill & injection. I also have experience in nail clipping & bathing of both dogs and cats. I love all the fur babies out there and am excited for them to love me too!
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’ve been caring for dogs for over 6 years and genuinely love spending time with animals.

I know every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or just lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and will always treat your pets like they’re my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m currently very flexible and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide.

About: 2+ years of experience in kennel and veterinary settings- working with both cats and dogs with a variety of temperaments and ensuring their best experience while boarding! Dog and cat sitting experience for 10+ friends and family members countless times- comfortable with talks and indoor enrichment activities regardless of species. I currently work part-time during weekends, meaning I'm usually free Monday-Friday to play with and walked pups and cats whenever they need it! With my years of experience working with vet clinics and adjacent boarding facilities, I am comfortable working with animals with a variety of sizes and temperaments. I am more than comfortable to play inside, take dogs (or cats, if you want) on long walks, play outside, and monitor behavior to ensure beloved pets remain safe and healthy in the heat of summer.
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.

About: Hi there! I’m Ansley. I live in South Knoxville and work in animal science. I have over 10 years of experience caring for other people’s animals, and nearly 22 years of caring for my own pets. I worked in both small and large animal vet clinics as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable giving medications and treating ill or elderly pets. I have two Labrador retrievers (6 years old and 6 months old) and a Manx cat that needs extra attention due to some health issues. I’m a very active person and frequently walk or run with my own dogs, so if you’re just looked for the occasional walk to get your pup’s energy out, I’m your gal! I also have a fenced in backyard so if you’re interested in a play date, message me and we can work something out! My boys love new friends. Unfortunately, my cat does not do well with other cats, but he LOVES dogs. He was a rescue as a kitten from the clinic I worked in, so he grew up around the dog boarding kennels and 100% thinks he’s one of them. I know Rover is for dogs and cats, but if you or anyone you know is looking for assistance with farm animals, I can help there too. I currently work in the dairy industry but have experience caring for all livestock species. I have BSA and MS degrees in Animal and Dairy Science. I’m available mostly during weekends and evenings during the week however my job is flexible and I can do drop in visits during my lunch, as well as on my way to work in the mornings. I’m happy to provide drop in visits and walks in client’s homes. As mentioned previously, I do have animals of my own and would be open to bringing a dog to my house if they are friendly and play well with others. I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs love. I cannot bring other cats into my house due to my own cat’s distaste for others, but he is fine with dogs.
