“Wendy was so great! We felt a little anxious to leave our three dogs for five days until we found her. She knew our personalized instructions for each of our dogs when we met and thought of many things we hadn’t. Every question we asked, she seemed to have already thought through. She was very open and informative. While we were away, Wendy sent us multiple photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. She went the extra mile in making both us and our dogs feel comfortable. We appreciate her and plan to use again if all goes accordingly with our next trip near the area! :)”
“Our pups had a great time with Ann. She has a great place for pups to run around and be comfortable and she sent updates throughout the boarding. Ann had everything packed up for us and ready to go when it was time to pick up. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Shawna was so great with Moose! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos while I was away. Additionally, she worked to introduce each pup one on one since we weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was very attentive and Moose had such a great time playing with his new friends! I’d absolutely recommend Shawna to anyone!”
“Shawna is very respectful and reliable. She has kept our Cash twice now and I can't begin to express how grateful we are to have found her. I will continue to use her to care for him when we are away. She takes such good care of him and I love getting the pictures and videos from her. If you need care for your fur babies, I highly recommend her.”
“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❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
About: When I was in school I would dog sit for many people off of facebook and had many satisfied customers. I boarded for a few couples for months at a time. I’m a Gatlinburg Events Manager, so my schedule is busiest during daytime event hours. I’m typically available any day after 5:00 PM, making me a great fit for evening drop-ins, walks, overnight care, and last-minute dinner or evening plans. I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in your home, depending on what helps your pet feel most comfortable. I live in White Pine, Tennessee, and am available for house sitting throughout Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and surrounding areas. I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and keep you updated while you’re away. My home is in White Pine although I do travel to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Mon-Fri and can Every pet is different, so I always do my best to follow their owner's routine and preferences. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet's schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection while maintaining the routines they're familiar with. I understand that leaving a pet with someone else requires trust, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“Gibbs had his third stay with Ryan and his family, which was an overnight visit this time. I received photos of him having a great time and being pampered. I will certainly keep leaving Gibbs with Ryan and his family whenever I need to be away.”
“Kristy was so amazing! She communicated super well and sent lots of pics during our pups’ stay. I could tell she truly loves dogs and took the best care of ours while they were with her. I am super thankful that I knew they were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”
“Cassy did a great job of Sadie while we took a 10 day adventure out west! She regularly communicated with us and sent pictures. Sadie came home tired, which is a sign that she had lots of fun! I will definitely use Cassy again!”
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!

“They were amazing!!! Such a loving family with tons of experience. I’d trust them with my kid if I had one haha! Dexter sent me photos and gave updates 24/7 without me having to ask, my dog had an amazing time there. 100% would recommend!!”
“This was the first time I used this service and was a little nervous about leaving my dogs while attending an out of state wedding. But my worries were put to rest at our meet and greet. Shirley and Jeff are so kind and friendly that I immediately felt comfortable leaving Bella and Gracie with them. And speaking about my fur babies, they fell in love with Shirley and Jeff and were so drawn to them that they completely ignored me LOL. On the day of drop off, my dogs were excited to see them again and didn’t even look back at me when I left. I highly recommend this loving couple to watch your fur babies and would definitely use them again.”
“Andrew is a great care taker of our senior dog. This was our 2nd booking with him and he did an amazing job. Fast communication, pick ups and drop offs are convenient and easy.”
“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.”
“Erin was amazing with my dogs! Regular updates and pics, took them on adventures and played with them. Gave them all the snuggles and love we couldn't because we were traveling. I will 100% be using her again!”

“Wendy is amazing! She knew it was my first time using Rover and my first time needing a sitter for my cat, she made sure I had updates with photos 1-2 times per day! I felt so safe to leave my cat with her and her family. They all treated him like their very own. I would definitely book with Wendy again, I am so beyond happy with my experience!😊😊”
“I cannot recommend Anna enough to anyone needing a pet sitter! She’s friendly, professional, prompt, and exceeded our expectations. I can be over the top when it comes to updates on my Persian kitty, and she knew just the right times to check in with pics to set my mind at ease. It was such a breath of fresh air to come home to a clean house and happy baby girl. Anna kept our little timid scaredy cat over the 4th of July- I honestly didn’t expect to come home to our cat relaxing as if we never left. We came crashing through the door with our luggage and commotion and our cat was just sitting calmly like- “oh, you’re back 🙄” It was a nice change from arrangements we had made for her in the past where she seemed somewhat traumatized from our being away. I highly suggest Anna and her adorable family for your pet sitting needs and will be referring her to my friends and family as well.”
“Thank you so much Tiffany, Kilo and Carter say Hi and thank you for taking great care of them, not to mention entertaining them. Im sooo glad I found someone I trust with my boys. I will definitely be contacting you again, hopefully soon for our next outing.😁 Billy , Carter & Kilo 🐕🐕”
“Vanessa was absolutely amazing on all fronts. She goes above and beyond from looking after your pet to seriously loving and caring for them like they are her own. She is cautious and hard working to ensure safety and care. Top sitter out there”
“Abi was terrific! Very quick in responses and great with all her communications. She did a fantastic job and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. I am definitely going to be using her services 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.”

“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. We would definitely book with Wendy again. Thank you, Wendy, for giving us peace of mind and for giving our dog such a happy, loving place to spend the day.”

“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. :)”
“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!”
“So great. Like seriously these people are gems. I called the morning of and they were able to take my two babies. They literally loved them with all their heart, I already have them booked for next weekend. And the pictures and videos! It was just such a great experience. Thank you all for everything! Oh they also have a wonderful backyard”

“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.”

“Vanessa is great! She listened to our instructions for our dog, and provided updates and took lots of photos on the walk. We would love to have her walk our dog again.”
“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were a bit nervous, but it worked out wonderfully! Megan took such great care of Theo, took him for a walk, and even stopped by the dog park so he could play. We loved that she sent pictures along the way—it made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy. She even offered to come meet him the day before to get familiar with his routine and our location, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re staying at Anchor Down RV Park, she would be the perfect sitter to trust with your baby! We hope to use her next year!”

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.

“Wendy was so great! We felt a little anxious to leave our three dogs for five days until we found her. She knew our personalized instructions for each of our dogs when we met and thought of many things we hadn’t. Every question we asked, she seemed to have already thought through. She was very open and informative. While we were away, Wendy sent us multiple photos and updates daily, which we really appreciated. She went the extra mile in making both us and our dogs feel comfortable. We appreciate her and plan to use again if all goes accordingly with our next trip near the area! :)”

“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!”
“Shawna was so great with Moose! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos while I was away. Additionally, she worked to introduce each pup one on one since we weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was very attentive and Moose had such a great time playing with his new friends! I’d absolutely recommend Shawna to anyone!”
“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.”

“Kristy was so amazing! She communicated super well and sent lots of pics during our pups’ stay. I could tell she truly loves dogs and took the best care of ours while they were with her. I am super thankful that I knew they were in good hands while we were away. I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”
“We had to travel overseas and we needed someone to look after our furbaby for over a month period while we were gone. I know it was a big commitment for her but Lauryn went above and beyond taking care of my dog. She sent us videos, pictures throughout and also checked with me for anything unusual. I could feel at ease even when I was away for so long. Thank you so much Lauryn. Dalgu is already looking forward to her next stay with you. 😁”
