“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Absolutely amazing experience! She accepted our last-minute booking without hesitation and made the entire process stress-free. We got regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved on the whole time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”


“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.”

“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”

“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”


“Lanelle was so great! She sent pictures everyday and my dog was having a the time of him life. When we picked him up, she gave us recommendations for him. It was so great.”

“Highly recommend Victoria and Charles. They sent us pictures of Rex showing he was very calm and relaxed and enjoying his time at their house. We loved being able to visit before we chose them to watch our little guy to see how well they all got along. Perfect! House and fenced backyard add to the safe, warm experience.”

“Maggie loves going to Joan's house whenever we are on holiday. Joan takes such wonderful care of her and keeps us updated with pictures. We never have to worry about a thing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone and we will certainly be having her watch Maggie in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“Gloria was wonderful! She went above and beyond to care our puppy in every way. She was great about sending updates with photos, and I’m certain our pup had the best time while with her!”

“Wren and Gracie loved their stay with Gabrielle and her husband! We were so glad to know they were safe and happy for the week we were gone. Will definitely board with them again!”

“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 !”

“Caillyn had great communication and her house and land is perfect for a hyper puppy like mine! She was so sweet and went above and beyond to keep Harley safe and happy.”

“We have an 18-week old lab puppy named Sully who just returned from his 4-night sleepover with Jessica and her family. Being new puppy parents we are very protective of our little guy, and did quite a bit of research on Rover for a care giver, which is what led us to Jessica. Jessica let us have a meet and greet with her and her boxer Tucker before Sully’s stay which really gave confidence to our decision. During Sully’s stay we got tons of pictures and videos of our little man playing in the yard with Tucker and the kids. Jessica and her family made Sully a part of their ‘pack’ during his stay. He had such a great time, and was shown so much love and attention that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us. We are so happy Sully found these new friends, and have already booked his stay for our next trip. It is so comforting knowing our Little Man is cared for with as much love and attention as we give him. Thank you Jessica and family!”

“This was a second time Lindsay watched our pup Flash. Lindsey is amazing! She sends pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day and even makes special peanut butter doggy treats for the dogs. Flash got Christmas cookies to go yesterday and he loves them! How cool is that?? Thank you Lindsey for taking such a great care of Flash! We will definitely be booking with Lindsey in the future :)”

“Candice did amazing with our fur-babies! Delilah is usually very anxious around new people, and she was comfortable enough to lay on the couch and accept some scratches after just a few minutes with Candice. That has never happened before with anyone else. We will definitely be booking with her again :)”


“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”


“Kayla was so great with my cat, Boo. She came over a few days in advance to meet the kitty who is usually super shy. After only one day of cat sitting, Boo was comfortable enough to come out of hiding and get some petting. I’d highly recommend Kayla!”

“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”

“Elizabeth did a phenomenal job taking care of my babies while I was out of state. She went above and beyond what I asked of her, and I could not be happier with the care that my animals received! Based on the picture updates she sent, I think my animals fell in love with her too! Will definitely use her services again!”

“Madeline was wonderful! She was very attentive, followed all of our instructions carefully, and kept us updated with pictures every visit, which made us feel very comfortable being away from our boys. We’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a pet sitter. We highly recommend her!”

“Gloria was wonderful! She went above and beyond in giving us updates and took excellent care of our elderly cat (food, treats, litter box, pictures, etc)! We will definitely use Gloria again for our cat and all future family pets!”


“Stephanie is super professional and responsive. I was able to relax on our first trip away from our newly adopted cat after seeing how attentive she was during our intro call (took notes!) and first meeting. It’s a relief knowing she’s in the neighborhood.”

“Morgan was great! She helped us out really last minute and over a Holiday weekend. Could not have been more thankful for that. Our cat Bug definitely enjoyed her company! We loved the regular check ins and photos. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”

“Meredith is the absolute best! She's so kind and gentle and patient!l - Springsteen enjoyed his time with her and John so much. He had the best time exploring the woods and playing in her very large and fun backyard. Perfect place to spend time with the best dog loving house! 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.”

“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”

“You won't find a better family to care for your pups! I happened upon Nikki on this app and I feel like it was fate. Her husband, Mike, their kids and Nikki spent so much time and gave so much love to my Charlie. He is very needy and they were patient, found activities to keep him so happy and also gave him a new bestie. Nugget, their golden retriever, was instantly Charlie's pal. What a sweetheart! Charlie was in a rough spot with separation anxiety and acting very sad and exhausted. 3 days with this family perked him up and gave him new life! I am so thankful!”

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!

“Lyndsey and her kids were wonderfully sweet to my dog while I visited a tourist attraction. She was very prompt in all of our communications and understanding when I mistook a time zone difference! Lyndsey has a lot of experience and I highly recommend her for your pets needs!”

“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.”

“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
“Heather is very attentive and we love that she sends pictures and videos of our dogs stay. We also love that she gives him homemade treats. Thanks for always caring for our boy like he’s yours!”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Absolutely amazing experience! She accepted our last-minute booking without hesitation and made the entire process stress-free. We got regular updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and loved on the whole time. Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring — we would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”


“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.”

“I cannot recommend this family enough for boarding! We did a meet and greet which was so comforting knowing our dog would love their dog too. And turns out they became the best of friends during his stay with them. We had never boarded Mac before and I was so anxious but this was so worry free and it was like he was just spending the weekend with family. We got lots of photos too!”

“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Kayla. Gunner gets separation anxiety but had no issues this time while we were gone for a week and half. She took great care of him, sent adorable photo updates, and brought him home cleaner than we sent him!”


“Lanelle was so great! She sent pictures everyday and my dog was having a the time of him life. When we picked him up, she gave us recommendations for him. It was so great.”

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“Gloria was wonderful! She went above and beyond to care our puppy in every way. She was great about sending updates with photos, and I’m certain our pup had the best time while with her!”

“Wren and Gracie loved their stay with Gabrielle and her husband! We were so glad to know they were safe and happy for the week we were gone. Will definitely board with them again!”

“Caillyn had great communication and her house and land is perfect for a hyper puppy like mine! She was so sweet and went above and beyond to keep Harley safe and happy.”

“We have an 18-week old lab puppy named Sully who just returned from his 4-night sleepover with Jessica and her family. Being new puppy parents we are very protective of our little guy, and did quite a bit of research on Rover for a care giver, which is what led us to Jessica. Jessica let us have a meet and greet with her and her boxer Tucker before Sully’s stay which really gave confidence to our decision. During Sully’s stay we got tons of pictures and videos of our little man playing in the yard with Tucker and the kids. Jessica and her family made Sully a part of their ‘pack’ during his stay. He had such a great time, and was shown so much love and attention that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us. We are so happy Sully found these new friends, and have already booked his stay for our next trip. It is so comforting knowing our Little Man is cared for with as much love and attention as we give him. Thank you Jessica and family!”

“This was a second time Lindsay watched our pup Flash. Lindsey is amazing! She sends pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day and even makes special peanut butter doggy treats for the dogs. Flash got Christmas cookies to go yesterday and he loves them! How cool is that?? Thank you Lindsey for taking such a great care of Flash! We will definitely be booking with Lindsey in the future :)”

“Highly recommend! They are so kind and can tell they enjoy hanging out with the dogs. My dog always comes back tired and happy after a weekend, lots of playing!”

“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”

“Really nice and caring sitter. Our flight got delayed and had to extend Bubble’s stay for an extra day. Hanna was really considerate about all this and took great care of Bubble.”

About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rats, taking care of all, whether it's feeding, playing, or general care. Your pets are family and are in good hands, whether it's a sleepover, walk, or playtime with me and 11 year old German Shepard Husky Mix. I work full time, sometimes in the office and sometimes at home. So during the week, depending on location, I can do lunch time walks or after work walks or play. Weekends are prime times for sleepovers and long walks/playtime. Dog sitting in my house only - dogs are part of the family and will be in the house with me and my dog. They're welcome on furniture and throughtout the house. My dog has free reign of the house during the day. If they are crate trained, feel free to bring that, otherwise their own bed so they have comfort away from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for lots of outdoor playtime. Please let me know if there are any needs when overnight or when alone in the house. I can accommodate separate sleeping areas and crating if nnecessary. Dogs must be friendly with other, specifically big dogs.
