“Wendy and her family were absolutely AMAZING taking care of our cat while we were out of town for the holidays. She helped my cat become comfortable and feel right at home. I will most definitely have her pet sit for us again. Thank you so much!”
“Shawna is so sweet and very knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had so much fun and met some new friends during his stay. She updated my family with photos and videos of our dog living his best life! He was in great hands and we will be returning to Wonderful Wilderness for all our boarding needs”
“Ann was amazing! She was able to watch zeus super last minute so my family and i could go on a mini vacation. She sent pictures and updates and was so flexible with us! Will definitely be booking with her again when we come to visit again!”
“Totally awesome and reliable sitter! My dog came home happy, well taken care of and he was clean 🙂 Renee also worked with my challenging schedule when I needed a few extra days of sitting shirt notice. Thank you so much!”
“Brooke is a sweetheart and Ozzy warmed up to her nicely. Brooke sent me photos and videos on a daily basis which gave me such a comfort level that my baby was being taken care of. Highly recommended!”
“Shawna was amazing. She took such great care of our dog and was fantastic about sending pictures and videos letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with anyone. Angie took the time to let us know how Molly was doing and sent pictures throughout the week. We will definitely call on Angela again.”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“I’m so glad that I found Lauren! She was amazing in taking care of my two fur babies. This was my first time using Rover, and I was somewhat nervous in leaving them with a stranger. That nervousness disappeared very quickly when Lauren communicated to me on a daily basis by sending pictures and/or videos as to how they were doing. They were exhausted when I brought them home so I know they had a great time. Knowing that they were being very well taken care of was such a relief. I will definitely be a return customer and highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Kristy was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog for two nights and sent a lot of pictures. Very smooth process, great communication, and a great environment for my dog to hang out in. Highly recommend and have already booked another stay!”
About: Love all animals! Big and small! Love to go on walks and let them have fun and play! I like to take pictures of them as well, and keep you updated along the way! I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule and can manage my time and make sure I am going to be available when I say I am and be there to attend to the pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. I understand that every pet is different and I am willing to accommodate each and every need they may have.
“Skylar was so easy to communicate with. It was our first time leaving our boy with someone, so I was probably a lot, but Skylar was patient and kind. Axl came home so worn out (in a good way) and I appreciate the great care they took of him!”
About: I am a licensed veterinary technician so I am professionally trained to know how to take care of your animals especially if there is an emergency! I currently work full time at Lincoln Memorial University. I can only do weekends because of my schedule, but I can also see what I can do to help during the week! I do not have a fenced in yard. My dogs have been trained to stay in the yard. I have 3 dogs, they are younger and very playful. I also have 3 cats. Even though I do not have a fence, I can offer walks in the yard or walking up and down the road and put them on the leash while they use the bathroom. I have a whole room dedicated for the animals where they can stay unless they are kept uncaged then they can have free roam of the house.
“Cassy was great for a short notice sleep over for our small dog. She sent pictures of Teague and he enjoyed her children. Would definitely recommend trusting your fur baby to her.”
“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.”
“Ryan took great care of our energetic 7 month old puppy!! A great experience throughout from booking to pick up. Communication was always excellent and they sent tons of pics of our pup having a blast. Seemed like puppy paradise!! Definitely recommend!!”
“I felt uniquely at ease leaving my pup with Jeanie, who is experienced and comfortable working with high-drive large dogs with separation anxiety and behaviorial quirks! I look forward to booking again.”
“Elizabeth has always been great and very accommodating! Her family has been a great place for us to leave our dog Lexi. We have left our dog there multiple times and will definitely again when we are back in the area.”

“Makayla was FANTASTIC!! Our boys did GREAT!! My older dog had been struggling at the kennel level regardless of what we tried. He fell in LOVE with her, which never happens as he isnt much for people anymore. I actually feel like I can enjoy some time away and not be so concerned about my fur babies. I will be booking again soon!!!!! Makayla, you are AMAZING!!!!”
“Vanessa is great. She is thorough with our two cats, feeding, playing, brushing and cleaning the litter box. She is also great communicator about visits. She always asks questions and lets us know if anything seems off. I would absolutely recommend her to others!”

“Emma was so responsive and reliable when I needed someone to drop in on my pup. I got lots of pictures and updates while I was away, which made the whole experience so much better. Emma put me at ease and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Worked for a vet in Boca Raton for 5 years. Started my own pet sitting job after that. My husband recently passed and could use the extra income. I am working part time but not making enough money. I will quit my part time job to take care of the pets fulltime. Thanks I won't be taking care of pets in my home. I have a older pug and 3 cats. I have a very small apartment also.
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check-on, feed, entertain (or give space for the quirky ones), and change litter for their cats. With cats, I am unfortunately allergic, so I will not be able to provide over night stay services to watch your cats. But I can absolutely check-on them!
About: I have had pets all my life. I love them all…especially the doggies! We have four rescue pups, a bunny and and a bearded dragon so we share the love with all different animals.

“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.”

“Callie had a great day at Wendy’s. She was awesome about sending updates throughout the day. We knew Callie was in good hands. She got lots of walks and belly rubs.

“Tracy is absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her! We were in Pigeon Forge for a baseball tournament and had booked a pet-friendly hotel. Unfortunately, our sweet Grayson experienced severe anxiety at the hotel, and I quickly realized he couldn’t be left alone in the room. Since this was my first time using Rover, I scheduled a meet-and-greet with Tracy. Grayson immediately felt comfortable with her, and so did I. She took him home with her for the day, and he did great. Tracy kept in constant communication and sent pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. We could not have asked for a better experience!”

“Kristy was amazing!! My times got all wonky and I dropped him off and picked him up a little later than we originally planned, and she was SO kind about it! Communicated very quickly and did wonderfully with Banjo. He came home nice and wore out from all the playing he did with Kristy:)”
“Megan was great! My one year old fur baby has issues with her kidneys and Megan made sure Lilly was well taken care of and given lots of love! I was nervous leaving her for the day with Megan and her family due to my pup’s health issues and her being nervous-she doesn’t travel well sometimes-but Megan kept me up to date on everything and the family surrounded her with the love and care she needed. Will definitely consider Megan watching my fur baby again when I’m back in the area. :)”
“Ryan and his family were the best caregivers ever! They spent a lot of time with our fur babies and have a sweet dog to play with also! They are special people and are very welcoming! We feel like we made new friends.”
“Great communication during the booking process and during the daycare stay. Lauryn sent several pictures and videos and Moose had fun and was happy when we picked him up. I would book again!”
“Amanda accommodated our last-minute request so we could take a tour at Cumberland Gap NHP. Her home, dog toy basket, and large yard were perfect for our standard poodle. I would highly recommend her.”

“Jeanie was FANTASTIC with our boy! I had to look for doggy daycare for our young puppy rather last minute and she was so sweet and accommodating. We got lots of pictures of him during his stay. Our little guy had a blast and got lots of love and attention. When we arrived, his crate was all folded up and all of his belongings were packed up and ready for us to pick him up. She’s a real dog-lover and is great with potty training pups. We would definitely book with Jeanie again if needed. 10/5 stars.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well.

I am home throughout the day as well as nights and evenings so your fur babies will get all the love and play time they need! I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly. I have a room that is a dedicated dog room where crates are kept for the dogs to be safely while I am away. YOUR PET MUST BE CRATE TRAINED! Please bring a crate for each dog you are boarding with me unless prior arrangements have been made! I do have a baby so your pet must be good with children.

“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I knew early on that working with them was where I belonged. Over the years I’ve gained hands‑on experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with bathing, feeding, walking, cleaning, and providing general care to keep animals happy, healthy, and relaxed. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something that’s been a natural part of my life since childhood. ⭐ Special Skills • Medication trained and comfortable administering oral and topical treatments • Experienced with bathing, feeding, and maintaining consistent care routines • Skilled in cleaning, sanitation, and keeping pet areas safe and tidy • Strong leash‑handling experience with dogs of all sizes • Familiar with animal behavior, body language, and stress signals • Comfortable caring for high‑energy, large‑breed, and small‑breed pets • Kennel‑experienced with structured routines and caring for multiple animals at once I’m an online full‑time college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. Because I study remotely, I’m able to build my day around pet care — feeding, walks, drop‑ins, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable. Caring for animals is already part of my daily rhythm, and my online schedule makes it easy for me to be consistently available and attentive. While I don’t offer boarding, my home environment is fully set up for cats and reflects the way I care for my own four. My apartment is every cat’s dream with toys, towers, enrichment activities, and plenty of stimulation. This experience helps me understand what keeps cats comfortable, engaged, and stress‑free. Even though pets won’t be staying here, the same level of structure, cleanliness, and attention carries over into the care I provide for your pets in their own home. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow your routines closely to keep everything familiar and comfortable. I handle feeding, litter or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any cleaning needed to keep their space tidy. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior. I also make sure your home stays clean, secure, and exactly how you left it.
About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

About: I’ve been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to take care of, watch, check-on, entertain/walk, feed their pets since I was a kid. Just provide me with the instructions for your furry loved one and I’m at your service! I graduated with my PhD from the University of Tennessee in May 2026 and currently looking for jobs. So I’m home all day and available to take care of your pets at any time! I adhere to strict rules that clients provide me of how to take care of their pets and what to do in their homes. When I enter your home to take care of your pets, I start off with a warm hello to let your pets know I’m there and welcome them as they prefer (some like pets some like to be left alone!). I’ll entertain or stimulate your furry friends as requested. When I leave, I make sure everything is locked up and your furry friends are safe upon return. I also like to provide regular updates to clients to let them know their furry loved ones are taken care of!
About: Born and raised on a farm in Ohio, caring for animals has been in my DNA my whole life! I love animals of every shape and size, and raised Pembroke Welsh Corgi's for many years. Since my corgi's have passed away, I've chose to share my love with the fur babies of family and friends. I'm a single professional that works afternoon/evenings in Knoxville. I am generally available anytime on Monday and Tuesday's, and all other mornings till 1 pm. Also able to transport to airports. I'm able to follow your instructions and routine to keep your beloved companions safe, comfortable and secure. I believe the familiar environment of their home is the best place while you are away.
About: I have two dogs, one is three and one is six months. I adore them and spoil them daily. My oldest has very high energy so I am used to getting the energy out! They love going swimming at the lake as well! Though we do not have a fenced in yard, they go for daily walks and have fun enrichment activities inside. I am currently in college, but I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to walk your dogs! I am also available to board your dog anytime! I am home pretty much all day everyday except for my hour class I have to attend Monday and Wednesday. I have a pretty set routine with my dogs, as I wake up early (6am) to let them both out, and again around 9. I am very attentive with my dogs, as I would be with yours! I make sure they are comfortable and have a nice place to lay and have food and water at their access. If they need to go out, I’m on it! I imagine how my dogs would feel if my dogs were going to a new place, and want to make them feel as loved and comfortable as possible, as new environments can be scary.

About: I've had cats and dogs since the day I was born. I spent years giving my 14 year old dog insulin injections until he passed. I have cared for neighbors' and family members' newborn puppies and senior dogs. I can give medication, feed, and transport your pets to your specifications, and most of all I love animals! I am a student at UT Knoxville! Typically I have class from around 8am-4pm Mon/Wed/Fri, and 2-4pm Tuesday/Thursday. My schedule is very flexible, so I can check on or care for pets during that time! I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and various pets for years, and can't wait to care for yours too! I can give doses of medication if necessary, feed 3+ times a day, and I know the importance of staying hydrated, so I will always keep the water bowl full! Let me know if you have any questions.
About: I’ve taken care of my fiancés parents dogs for 5 years! I love them to death! They have nine dogs that range in ages from puppy to senior. I have done everything from administering medication to the basics. When they go on vacation I am who they trust to watch their animals. I can care for all animals even farm animals and I would love to care for yours!! I do currently work a full time job and my schedule is very scattered. However I work early hours and am usually off by 1:30pm. But I would love to watch them after work/ on my days off. I do not mind fitting your animals into my schedule. I love animals and do not care to take time out of my day to care for your fur babies!! I currently cannot care for animals in my own home, I am very sorry. However I do not mind caring for them in yours as I will treat your home just like mine, if not better!
“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”
About: I have currently had a dog and cat(s) since I was born! I absolutely love having a companion around to bring with me everywhere provide all the love and attention to them! I recently in April 2022, rescued my German shepherd lab pup, Beau! He’s a great, big goofball and I love him dearly! I have continuously helped friends and family members and also a few neighbors here and there with helping drop in on their loved ones and taking care of them while they’re away! For dogs, I love all types! I enjoy providing a long walk for them, trips to the park if they have lots of energy you need them to burn off and even trips to the pet store for treats, or a pup cup for dessert, if allowed!

So I am available all evenings, all day on weekends and between 4:30AM-8:00AM during the week for morning drop ins! I will easily follow your expectations while caring for your pet in your home; if in an apartment, I can take them on a long walk or a trip to the park; In the house I will always do some light cleaning and freshening of their bowls, bed and play areas and making sure they’re following expectation if not allowed on couches or if they are allowed then lots of cuddles and play time for both kitties and doggos!

“Wendy and her family were absolutely AMAZING taking care of our cat while we were out of town for the holidays. She helped my cat become comfortable and feel right at home. I will most definitely have her pet sit for us again. Thank you so much!”
“Ann was amazing! She was able to watch zeus super last minute so my family and i could go on a mini vacation. She sent pictures and updates and was so flexible with us! Will definitely be booking with her again when we come to visit again!”
“Totally awesome and reliable sitter! My dog came home happy, well taken care of and he was clean 🙂 Renee also worked with my challenging schedule when I needed a few extra days of sitting shirt notice. Thank you so much!”
“Brooke is a sweetheart and Ozzy warmed up to her nicely. Brooke sent me photos and videos on a daily basis which gave me such a comfort level that my baby was being taken care of. Highly recommended!”
“Shawna was amazing. She took such great care of our dog and was fantastic about sending pictures and videos letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely use her again. ❤️”
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with anyone. Angie took the time to let us know how Molly was doing and sent pictures throughout the week. We will definitely call on Angela again.”
“Quincy had a nice time with Donna. She slept in a large crated area and played in her fenced yard. It was a great spot to board our dog when we stayed in a rental house in the area that did not allow dogs.”
“★★★★★ I had a fantastic experience with Trey! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I really appreciated how he kept his availability updated, allowing me to make a last-minute reservation. I could immediately tell, at both drop off and pick up, that my dog was going to and did receive lots of love and attention. And with my busy schedule, it's so important to have someone reliable and flexible like Trey. He was incredibly friendly, trustworthy, and I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him in the future! Thank you so much Trey!! I can tell Nico was well taken care of and comfortable 🫶”
“I’m so glad that I found Lauren! She was amazing in taking care of my two fur babies. This was my first time using Rover, and I was somewhat nervous in leaving them with a stranger. That nervousness disappeared very quickly when Lauren communicated to me on a daily basis by sending pictures and/or videos as to how they were doing. They were exhausted when I brought them home so I know they had a great time. Knowing that they were being very well taken care of was such a relief. I will definitely be a return customer and highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Kristy was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog for two nights and sent a lot of pictures. Very smooth process, great communication, and a great environment for my dog to hang out in. Highly recommend and have already booked another stay!”
About: Love all animals! Big and small! Love to go on walks and let them have fun and play! I like to take pictures of them as well, and keep you updated along the way! I am self employed so I have a very flexible schedule and can manage my time and make sure I am going to be available when I say I am and be there to attend to the pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before their stay or visit. I understand that every pet is different and I am willing to accommodate each and every need they may have.
“Skylar was so easy to communicate with. It was our first time leaving our boy with someone, so I was probably a lot, but Skylar was patient and kind. Axl came home so worn out (in a good way) and I appreciate the great care they took of him!”
“Cassy was great for a short notice sleep over for our small dog. She sent pictures of Teague and he enjoyed her children. Would definitely recommend trusting your fur baby to her.”
“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.”
“Tamara was very punctual. Communication was too notch. She sent daily text updates, videos or pictures. My dogs got great socializing with her dogs. Great first time experience. I would recommend Tamara for dog sitting.”
About: I have two dogs, one is three and one is six months. I adore them and spoil them daily. My oldest has very high energy so I am used to getting the energy out! They love going swimming at the lake as well! Though we do not have a fenced in yard, they go for daily walks and have fun enrichment activities inside. I am currently in college, but I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to walk your dogs! I am also available to board your dog anytime! I am home pretty much all day everyday except for my hour class I have to attend Monday and Wednesday. I have a pretty set routine with my dogs, as I wake up early (6am) to let them both out, and again around 9. I am very attentive with my dogs, as I would be with yours! I make sure they are comfortable and have a nice place to lay and have food and water at their access. If they need to go out, I’m on it! I imagine how my dogs would feel if my dogs were going to a new place, and want to make them feel as loved and comfortable as possible, as new environments can be scary.
“I felt uniquely at ease leaving my pup with Jeanie, who is experienced and comfortable working with high-drive large dogs with separation anxiety and behaviorial quirks! I look forward to booking again.”
“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.”
