Personalized care for your dog or cat - Townsend
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Townsend
“We left our 3 month old puppy for the first time. I was nervous leaving her for the first time but Viviana & Brian took very good care of our pup. They sent us pictures each day. Our pup came home happy & well cared for. Definitely recommend Viviana & Brian.”
“Amazing Family! We brought our dogs with us to TN for the thanksgiving holiday and Cody and Rachel cared for them as we went to several family gatherings throughout our trip. They were so accommodating, even waiting up for us the night of drop off. If we ever bring them again, we will be sure to see if Cody and Rachel are available. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dogs!”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Ann is absolutely wonderful. She loved on my dogs like her own. My dogs were super happy when I picked them up. She sent videos and pictures which helped me out a great deal. Ann,we will be back! Thanks for taking care of my 3 girls.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Jessica helped so much! She was so attentive to Cleo, and you can tell Cleo absolutely adores her and her family ☺️ She provided pictures and updates everyday! I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out!”
“Harvey loved his stay, a huge fenced in backyard, multiple walks per day, and Nugget was a great playmate. We received multiple photo updates each day. They were very accommodating with taking Harvey last minute and with pickups times. Highly recommended!”
“Always a pleasure, our dog absolutely loves to stay with Cassandra and her family! I know she is happy and well taken care of and that allows me to relax while traveling.”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy 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.”
“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!!”
“Ashley was wonderful! She watched our 12 week old puppy and sent us updates throughout the week. Ashley is very caring and has great communication. We will definitely be booking with Ashley in the future! Highly recommend!”
“April and Rob were wonderful! This was the first time I was away from my dogs for a whole week and they made sure that I had no reasons to worry while on vacation. I hope to be able to use them next time I have to leave town and I will definitely recommend to others.”
“Thank you Vickie and Charlie for taking such good care of Trixie. We appreciated the pictures you sent us of Trixie while we were gone. You were always quick to respond and the pictures put us at ease. Trixie looked good and happy. We would not hesitate to have her stay with you again. Dianna and Jerry”
“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.”
“I was traveling in the area and needed a place to leave my dog for a week. Cassy was great. She responds quickly to email making communication easy. She sent plenty of pictures showing me the space. The kids were an extra plus because they seem to love dogs and promised to give River lots of attention. The only down side is the back yard is very small so I'm not sure how much running River could get in each day. I would use Cassy again if I return to the area.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Keli responded quickly to my request to care for our 2 dogs. We first did a meet and greet which I appreciated. We have one who is a little more anxious then the other, and he felt comfortable. She provided photos and videos and communicated well. She made us feel as ease. We appreciate Keli and her family. We will definitely be using Keli again when that time comes.”

Cat caregivers near you - Townsend
“Kim and her daughter took excellent care of our sweet cat named Alice. They visited her daily, rain or shine. Alice is very social and loves attention. They gave her plenty of petting, freshen her bowls of water, refilled dry food, gave wet food, and treats. They also scooped her litter box daily. Alice was happy to have their attention and she was very well cared for during our 4 night absence. I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter.”
“Cody and Rachel are so nice and it is clear they love animals. They took great care of our cat while we were away and provided updates to let us know he was happy and healthy. We highly recommend Cody & Rachel and will definitely use them again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats for family, friends, and neighbors and am comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Sarah did a great job with my cats! Not only did she feed and take care of the litter, but she also was helpful with collecting my packages and mail for me while I was away. She also takes great photos of your pet while she is watching them!”
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.
“My pet has a terminal cancer and is an original smelly cat. Storm took good care of her and my two other cats. The house was in order on my return and my sick cat got dosed on schedule. I am thrilled with her service.”
“She was so great to our 3mo pup who had to come on vacation because she’s still too young for boarding. She was easy to communicate with, came to our cabin, and was very kind to our babe.”
About: Hi, I’m Danner. I love animals and have experience pet sitting for family friends, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and anxious dogs, and I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and trustworthy looking after your furry family members. I personally know how valuable it is to have a sitter you can count on. I use Rover myself and appreciate the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone loyal and caring is taking care of my own dog. I strive to provide that same comfort and trust to every client I work with. I have several hundred hours of experience volunteering in the community, which helped me develop strong responsibility, attention to detail, and the ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I bring that same dedication and care into every pet-sitting opportunity. My availability is open, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and updates so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: As a former teacher, I’m used to creating routines, following specific instructions, and making sure each individual feels safe and supported. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy learning a routine, a senior pet needing extra patience, or a shy animal who needs time to warm up, I take the time to build trust and provide calm, dependable care. I am currently between jobs, so I have a completely open schedule! I’m happy to drop in while you’re at work, on vacation, or any time you need I provide dependable, loving care while following each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy through walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention.
About: I have had a dog as a family pet for my entire life, and I've personally taken care of family friends' pets since I was a preteen as well, so you could say I know my way around the species pretty well and I know that great pet owners mean they are treated as a member of the family. I will be communicative, respectful, and flexible with the owners and a caring new friend for the furry family member who's been left behind. I'm a teacher on holiday, so my first priority this summer is your pet, and I will absolutely ensure he or she is very well taken care of. Thank you in advance for your consideration, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Townsend
“Danita was a perfect host for the day for my Tessa! They seemed to bond instantly and when I picked Tessa up, she was glad to see me but actually ran back up to Damita's door before I got her in the car as to say "goodbye" one more time. They took a walk and Danita has a beautiful home up on a mountain with a fenced yard so Tessa could enjoy the sights and sounds of the mountains as well. She also has other dogs and a cat so ur pet can have playmates. Unfortunately. I was held up in the Pigeon Forge traffic and was very late picking Tessa up, but Danita didn't make me feel bad about it. She was very understanding. She is great with communicating about your pet and sent some truly beautiful pics of my Tessa during her visit. Danita is a very kind and pleasant person and so is her boyfriend. They are truly pet loving people and I couldn't have found a better daycare arrangement for out trip to the Smokies. You won't be disappointed!!! Thank you Danita❤️”
“Rachel was so helpful taking care of my sweet puppy even when he wasn’t feeling his greatest the day she had him! She gave regular updates and even offered son advice to help remedy his upset tummy! She is fantastic!”
“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!”
“Tracy was AMAZING🌸🤍😊 great communication throughout the day and even a photo shoot of Ribby. Tracy was soo kind and even offered to feed Ribby chicken and rice for Ribby’s sensitive stomach. Tracy went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations! I wish we lived closer to her, so we could do more date days! Highly recommend!! Thank you Tracy! Love Ribby”
“I feel blessed for having found Jane. My dog came back home so calm and chill, which shows she was loved and not scared. Jane also sent me lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely go back! Thank you so much”
“Shyann was so kind and patient with me as the owner and absolutely doted on Charlie. She sent me multiple updates and photos through the day so I knew Charlie was having as much fun away from me as possible. I felt so safe leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Kristi for your babies needs. Being new to the area and having a new puppy is exciting and scary. Trusting someone with your baby is hard. She was so comforting to me and gave me regular updates. This was the first time I left Chandler with anyone. She has 2 dogs herself and Frankie is the same breed as Chandler. Dachshunds needs special care and she even had ramps to accommodate their backs. I will definitely use Kristi again.❤️💙🩷”

My dogs LOVED her and were sad to leave her house. I highly recommend Jenny and will definitely use her again!!”

“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.”

You can count on me to treat your pets like my own!!😋🐶 Even with being in college and working part-time in the mornings, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for pet care.

“We left our 3 month old puppy for the first time. I was nervous leaving her for the first time but Viviana & Brian took very good care of our pup. They sent us pictures each day. Our pup came home happy & well cared for. Definitely recommend Viviana & Brian.”
“Amazing Family! We brought our dogs with us to TN for the thanksgiving holiday and Cody and Rachel cared for them as we went to several family gatherings throughout our trip. They were so accommodating, even waiting up for us the night of drop off. If we ever bring them again, we will be sure to see if Cody and Rachel are available. Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dogs!”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Ann is absolutely wonderful. She loved on my dogs like her own. My dogs were super happy when I picked them up. She sent videos and pictures which helped me out a great deal. Ann,we will be back! Thanks for taking care of my 3 girls.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Jessica helped so much! She was so attentive to Cleo, and you can tell Cleo absolutely adores her and her family ☺️ She provided pictures and updates everyday! I couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out!”
“Harvey loved his stay, a huge fenced in backyard, multiple walks per day, and Nugget was a great playmate. We received multiple photo updates each day. They were very accommodating with taking Harvey last minute and with pickups times. Highly recommended!”
“I can't recommend Kristy enough! She was great with my 16yo dog that has mobility issues and uses a harness to get around. I was nervous to leave her with someone since she needs special care but Kristy went above and beyond for her! I got lots of photos and updates while I was away. I would absolutely have my dog stay with Kristy 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.”
“April and Rob were wonderful! This was the first time I was away from my dogs for a whole week and they made sure that I had no reasons to worry while on vacation. I hope to be able to use them next time I have to leave town and I will definitely recommend to others.”
“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.”
“I was traveling in the area and needed a place to leave my dog for a week. Cassy was great. She responds quickly to email making communication easy. She sent plenty of pictures showing me the space. The kids were an extra plus because they seem to love dogs and promised to give River lots of attention. The only down side is the back yard is very small so I'm not sure how much running River could get in each day. I would use Cassy again if I return to the area.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Keli responded quickly to my request to care for our 2 dogs. We first did a meet and greet which I appreciated. We have one who is a little more anxious then the other, and he felt comfortable. She provided photos and videos and communicated well. She made us feel as ease. We appreciate Keli and her family. We will definitely be using Keli again when that time comes.”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Erin was graciously able to help me out on a short notice. She sent photos of the dogs to let me know how well they were setting in - that was very comforting to see they were doing well. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Paul and his family were amazing with my dog. They made sure to keep me updated on how he was doing and went above and beyond to accommodate me. I would let them watch Onyx again in a heartbeat.”
“Danita was excellent. I had never left this 1.5 year old dog with a sitter and Danita and her dogs made it so that my dog Meg, had a wonderful time. Danita was patient with me for contacting her so much and sent photos and updates frequently. I cant give her enough kudos for a job well done”
