“Our pups were obviously happy and spoiled while at Jessica's. Jessica sent pictures and updates as promised and I know the dogs enjoyed the fenced in backyard to romp a bit and the accommodating indoors for lounging. They came home happy and well cared for.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend! Kristy was absolutely incredible with our girl Star! This was our first time leaving her with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous. Kristy sent us multiple updates and pictures. She was very accommodating to our shy girl. Star was skiddish at first, but by the end of the stay she bloomed into her playful, loving self! We are so thankful for Kristy and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“I was so happy with how well cared for my Rylee was taken care of! Jenny sent me several pics and videos of Rylee’s day which was a big help. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away knowing Rylee was doing so well and settled in comfortably. I definitely would recommend Jenny and plan on using her dog sitting service in the future! Thank you, Jenny (and husband)!”
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“Ashley kept on constant contact with us during our vacation and sent pics of Disco throughout ! We are so thankful for her care and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her services !”
“I’ve left Harry with her several times, and each time he gets so excited to see her. It’s clear how happy he is at her place. Today, when I went to pick him up, he didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave—he must’ve had such a great time! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of him!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Hazel while we were away. We could tell she had a great time, and she came home so happy. We really appreciated the updates and photos.”
“Stephanie did a great job with our dog Cooper. Not only did she treat him like her own, but she also communicated with us quite frequently and even sent pictures. We highly recommend Stephanie.”
“A phenomenal puppy caretaker! This was the first time using Rover & I will definitely use her services when I’m in town again. She kept us updated with the most beautiful, fun filled pics and assisted me in helping get Coco back on track with her feedings and toileting regimen ?”
“Devin was flexible and gracious. Our kitties had their own room and were safe and cared for. I would would recommend them and personally hire them again if the need arises. Thank you!!”
“We decided to not take our pups to Jeep Invasion at the last minute. Vickie and Charlie were great! Our pups were well taken care of! They came home tired! We will definitely be rebooking when we need another sitter!”
“After Jeanie watched our Aussie pup, Titan, I don’t think we could chose anyone else. She was so kind and treated him like her own. We received so many fun and playful pictures during his time with her. We knew what his day looked like everyday we were away. She made this process so much easier on us and Titan.”
“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! 🖤”

“Austin was so prompt and attentive to Milo and Merlin. He was able to accommodate last minute arrangements even during the busy holidays. I was very grateful to have the peace of mind knowing my boys were being loved and taken care of while I was away! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“Lauren was an absolutely amazing sitter for my two cats!! She accommodated me on short notice and was very responsive from start to finish. She made my cats feel very comfortable and even gave them extra attention when they needed it. It is very clear that she is an experienced care taker and put my mind at ease so that we could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!”
“Karson did a great job with our 3 cats. We came home to happy babies after fall break. Great communication and was nice enough to vacuum even though I didn’t ask. I will absolutely reach out again the next time we leave! ?”
“Denise took care of my two cats while I was in Ireland for 10 days and made it so that beyond missing them I didn’t have any worries or concerns. She kept me up to date on how they were doing, got down on the floor to send pictures and videos every day (they hide under the bed) and went above and beyond to also keep my house safe and secure and bring mail and packages in. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Lucas was amazing! We had a last minute need for someone to lay our dogs out on a holiday weekend. I inquired at close to midnight and he responded quickly - which is a bonus because I didn’t expect to hear anything until morning! He communicated when he was there, let us know he was running a few minutes late, and sent us pictures! We will definitely use Lucas again.”
“Alexandra was wonderful with Queen. She was communicative, punctual, followed instructions carefully, and asked thoughtful questions. Giving fluids solo is not easy, and she handled it confidently while keeping me updated with photos. Queen seemed relaxed and well cared for. I would definitely book Alexandra again.”
“Brooke did a wonderful job with my kitties. She worked hard to build trust with them and gave lovely updates with photos. She was very competent with medication administration and is a super sweet person!”
“Thank you so much for taking the best care of our kitties!! It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing the cats were happy & cared for. The daily pictures made us so happy ? We will definitely request Becky again next time we go anywhere!”
“This was the first time I had left my fur baby since I adopted him, and I felt completely at ease with Traci watching him! Thank you for your notecards everyday and for making sure he was okay while I was gone! :)”
“Lillian was a great sitter for my cats over the holiday break! Apartment was as I left it when I came back, cats were happy, and Lillian was responsive and professional. Would highly recommend.”
“Addison is a fantastic cat sitter! She was incredibly responsive from the start and arrived at our home exactly as planned. She followed all of my feeding instructions perfectly and took the extra time to play with my cat, which gave me such peace of mind. I will absolutely be hiring her again. Highly recommended!”
“Second time using Melissa and she was once again amazing! She does an amazing job communicating and even picked up some extra food for Louie since I wasn’t able to purchase before I left. She also offered to refill his medication when he ran out. I truly can’t recommend her enough. She is absolutely phenomenal!”
“Helena watched our two kittens super last minute. She was absolutely amazing, she played with our kittens and sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Definitely will use her again whenever we go out of town!”
“Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my senior short-haired tabby cat for the long Memorial Day weekend. She followed the pre-arranged schedule perfectly and performed all the requested duties completely. She communicated with me for every visit, giving details of my cat’s behavior and wellbeing, and providing photos of my cat with each visit. I am very happy with Cassandra’s service and would definitely use her 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!”
“Sierra did an amazing job caring with my cat Remi for 6 days. Thanks so much. He was well cared for and she sent picture and video updates frequently. I would highly recommend their service. I will be a repeat customer for sure" 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~Dawn S”
“Crystal is the 3rd sitter I’ve used and the only one I have felt comfortable with. I am not usually one to leave reviews; however, Crystal deserves her flowers! I have 8 cats (insane, I know) which can be overwhelming for me, let alone someone unfamiliar with their routine, medical issues, and the overall volume of duties. Despite this, Crystal took excellent care of my babies (and home), followed instructions, and was very communicative. I would utilize Crystal’s services again and believe others ought to as well.”

“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!”

“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
“Bella's first stay went very well, Daniella took excellent care of our pup and updated us about how she was doing and sent us pictures. Bella had fun and felt comfortable. We'll be back soon:). Thanks, Daniella!”

I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.
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 :)
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Thank you, Meredith, for all the love and attention you provide. Can't wait for Springsteen to come back for more time at Doyle's Den.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have always been the friend and family member who loves to spoil every fur baby with extra attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve also had experience caring for other people’s pets, including dogs and bunnies, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide them with patience, comfort, companionship, and plenty of love. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve always received positive feedback from the families I’ve helped, and I would love the opportunity to give your fur baby the same love and attention I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a lab assistant working until medical school late 2027. I work in the mornings from 6 AM to 11 AM and then I’m home the rest of the day. I live in a renovated basement space giving your fur baby their own comfortable and peaceful space during their stay. I also have a cat who is very friendly with dogs and is comfortable around other cats. I’m also happy to accommodate pets with allergies, anxiety, or other special needs. If your pet or anyone in your family has allergies, I can keep the animals completely separated during their stay and take extra precautions to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve had a pup my entire life, at one point my wife and I had 4 doggies! I have experience with dogs of all stages of life! We live an active lifestyle, but also love to cuddle at night! In the Summer I only work a few hours a day. My wife works from home a couple days a week as well! Your pup would only be alone a couple hours max. I have a large fenced back yard! We try to keep to your pups normal routine. They can either be crated or free roaming depending on your preference when I go run errands. I have a doggie door for my pup to go in and out throughout the day.
About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty and get exercise. I love cuddling and making sure they feel special!
“Kenzie is a very kind person and super accommodating. While my anxious dog may not have been the biggest fan of their German shepherd puppy, Kenzie did everything she could to help my dog feel safe and calm; even putting up her own dog in another room during my dog's short daycare stay. She definitely put my dog's needs first, and for that I am grateful.”

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I’ve lived with and cared for animals ranging from small pets to large dogs my entire life, including senior pets and those with special needs. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m attentive, patient, and happy to provide whatever extra care your pet may need. Whether that means accommodating mobility limitations, administering routine care, cleaning up accidents, or simply providing some extra love and attention, I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they are in my care. 🐾❤️ I’m a graduate student at the University of Tennessee, so my weekdays are generally busy with classes until noon. I’m typically available after that and have plenty of flexibility on weekends! My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs. Feel free to reach out, even if you’re not sure my schedule will work, just ask! I do not currently have the means to care for pets in my own home, but I am able to meet your pets at home and provide care however necessary!

“Levi showed up on time and was extremely gracious. He has a warm and even manner, which made for a good connection with our dog, Vincent. He walked Vincent for the agreed upon time and took good care of our pooch. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals are my passion. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and currently have 3 dogs and two cats of my own. I have a senior dog that requires daily medications, with a specialty in hiding the pill 🤭. I also foster dogs for local rescues and shelters and will dog sit when other fosters are out of town. I truly can’t wait to spoil your fur baby. They give love with no conditions and deserve the same back ❤️. I have the flexibility to drop in as needed! I do have a young child and am usually not able to do overnight stays at this point, but will update as that becomes available in the future. Volunteering in the local shelter has given me some experience in making a dog that I meet for the first time more comfortable. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel at ease.
About: I have a handful cats, but I also love dogs. Growing up with 5 dogs was my favorite part of life. I’ve been watching after pets since I was 13.

I then used Facebook market place for a while and now am using rover! Taking care of your pet is my first priority. I am available any day any time.

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years.

I will be with your pet anywhere they go and make sure they are safe and friendly with other pets if we encounter them! I will play and exercise with them so they are not as hyper for you when you come home!

About: Beverly here!!My entire life we have always had pets around. I have cared for dogs small and large. I have experienced with many animals from cats to goats. I love animals and have a hard time not referring to them as people.I have worked with puppies and also older dogs. I help care and walk my family and friends animals. I have experience with staying overnight and also just drop ins or day walking. I really care for the animals and love each personality they each have. I love to take an animal on car rides or a run on the road. If a pet is in need of bathing I have experience washing both large and small dogs. I am currently working full time. My schedule is Sunday to Wednesday 6-4:30. I am able to care for an animal before and after work and also on my days off. I know this schedule is ideal for all families but some are comfortable with it. I would be available to walk your pet as little or as much as they require. Whether it’s playing fetch or taking a walk exercise is needed for pets and I’m happy to help with that.
About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs for over eight years. I have raised three dogs from since they were a puppy and have gotten great experience training them as well. All three of them are high energy dogs, two of them large dogs. I am very comfortable with them and can definitly handle your pup! I have taken care of many friends and families dogs, as well as my neighbors. I also have experience taking care of cats. I've had two kitties for about 6 months now that I saved off the streets after that were thrown out. They followed me for so long I knew it was meant to be. I also have two friends that I'm the first person they call to take care of their cats when they are out of town. I love animals and am very patient with them. I love taking dogs on walks and I am great at following care and feeding directions. Your pup or kitten will be in the best care with me. I have one dog and two cats currently, and my family has two dogs that I see and help with regularly. My pup is almost 3 years and still very high-energy. I take him on walks and play with him every day as well as incorporate brain stimulation activities to make sure he is tuckered out and happy. Every time I visit my family I help with their dogs, including feeding, walking, and sometimes bathing them. I am very attentive to the animals around me. I make sure they are satisfied and happy at all times. If I notice they have a lot of energy I will take the time to either play with them, walk them, or provide an enrichment activity to stimulate them. I always monitor them when providing enrichment activities or when they are eating to ensure they don't choke on anything or hurt themselves depending on the activity. When on walks I avoid interactions with other dogs as well. You never know how another dog will react to yours, even if your pup is the nicest and most well-behaved dog ever. Your pup will always be safe with me.

“Highly recommend! Kristy was absolutely incredible with our girl Star! This was our first time leaving her with someone other than family, so we were a bit nervous.

We are so thankful for Kristy and will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“I’ve left Harry with her several times, and each time he gets so excited to see her. It’s clear how happy he is at her place. Today, when I went to pick him up, he didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave—he must’ve had such a great time! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of him!”

“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! 🖤”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
“Francis was so happy at Erin’s home, he wasn’t ready to leave when I came to get him! Erin was quick to respond to all of my messages and made me feel like Francis was in great hands. I’m so happy to see him this way and I’ll definitely be using Erin again!”
“Hanna watched our two corgis for five days while we were out of town and she was very prompt in giving us updates and did a great job taking care of them! Our dogs looked to be having a blast with her corgi as well, we would definitely recommend her to others for dog sitting!”
“Cy Cy, my cat, is a bit skittish and this was the first time we left her with a sitter. We had only been in Gatlinburg for a few hours when Frances sent a couple of pics of Cy Cy. She was on her back sleeping, just like she does at home, so she evidently felt safe. I really appreciate her care and anytime I need a sitter she will be my first call.”
“Caleb is so awesome and takes such great care of our dogs. We never have to worry about anything when we are on vacation because we know our dogs are in great hands with Caleb!”
