House Sitting in Wooded Acres

“Sure! Here’s a concise and positive review you can leave for your Rover dog sitter: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ysalys was fantastic! Super communicative throughout the entire stay—kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy. I’d absolutely book again!”

“Skylar was extremely helpful and accommodating to all of our many needs. She took great care of our pups and we hope to use her services as much as possible. Thank you ?”

Brandon D.

“I felt very comfortable having Emma as our sitter. She sent pictures and was very prompt with her responses. I hope she will return in the future.”

Jeff E.

“Emery did an amazing job looking after my 2 dogs and my house when I had to take a last-minute work trip. They each have very different needs/temperaments but Emery did a wonderful job attending to them both. She even left them custom-made REPORT CARDS that are now pinned to my fridge. 10/10, highly recommend, will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Melissa was an absolute dream cat sitter for me. My sweet Louie struggles with strangers and socialization. He is very anxious and doesn’t do well with new people, but I didn’t want him to be lonely on my trip. Melissa spent so much time and effort making Louie feel comfortable with her during her visits. She kept me updated the whole time with photos and updates on his behavior. She was neat and tidy, brought my mail in for me, and made sure he had everything he needed. I would give her 100 stars on this review if the app would let me. Melissa was phenomenal. I’m using her again in two weeks. I was so worried that I would find a sitter who didn’t understand Louie and who wouldn’t try to bond with him, but with Melissa that couldn’t be further from the truth. She was absolutely amazing and I am so glad Louie has someone like her to care for him now!”

“We have used Rover several times for in-house dog sitting, and I can honestly say that Emma has been hands down, the best. She took excellent care of our pup and our home while we were away on vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures, and when we arrived home, the house was tidy and looked as if she had never been there. Emma is extremely professional and a genuinely nice person. Will definitely book again for our next trip!”

Alicia D.

“Katie was incredible!!! Bella loved hanging out with her. I would definitely call on her again if she’s available next time we have a need. I can’t say enough just how great she was and took such great care of Bella!”

Allyson G.

“We’re so glad we found Meredith to help us take care of our 4-month-old puppy and senior cat. They’re both a handful but Meredith is so loving and professional with them. My fur babies can’t wait to see her again!”

Sarah Z.

“Five stars isn't enough. Angela was simply amazing. She is patient, gentle, and loving with our big pup who just adored her. Angela is an awesome communicator, sending pictures and texts to keep us up to date every day. She was a lovely guest in our home and went above and beyond with her care. I can't say enough wonderful things about her, and she absolutely will be asked to stay here again!”

Jennifer A.

“Super attentive with my boys! Kept me up to date with what was going on and sent me pictures of them all the time! I will be booking with her again and you should too!”

About: I am a current veterinary student at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, where I am pursuing companion animal medicine. I have spent the past 2 years working in a vet clinic, where a majority of my experience has been working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I am new to Rover, but I have 10+ years of experience pet sitting and taking care of others’ fur babies! I am a full time veterinary student, typically at school 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday. I can offer drop in visits a couple of times during weekdays, but I am available to spend more time with your pets on the weekends. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to commute to take care of your pet(s) at your home. I strive to make your pet(s) feel loved and comfortable while you’re gone by playing and loving on them, taking them for walks, administering medications if needed, etc.

About: I have had dogs since I was a little kid (36 now!), and I have been the main caretaker of all of them. I've had several different breeds and sizes and get along with all kinds of dogs. My wife and I currently work from home and are home bodies in the evening. We would love to watch your dog and give our Cooper some new friends! We are available any day of the week to board or sit. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly 1 and 1/2 year old pup that loves to play with other dogs. We have a crate if your pet needs it for sleeping or comfort.

“MaShon is quick to respond and a great communicator, which is just what we need for our 2 dogs! Our dogs took to her quickly and I know she gave them lots of love and pets.”

“Kristen was so kind and took great care of my cats Jax and Boba. She did overnight stays with them that gave me such peace of mind and left my place just as I had left it - a fantastic house guest 🙂 I've already booked her again for a longer trip I have later in the year and has just been great about providing updates and prompt responses!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. I also dog-sit regularly for a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, gentle training, and giving each pet the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter and worked at a kennel, where I handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues, reactive dogs, and those with medical needs. I’ve supported everything from group playtime and walks to feeding, crate training, medication routines and managing multiple pets at once—including cats, rabbits, and birds! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

About: With 6 years of experience caring for pets, I offer loving, responsible, and attentive care — always treating each animal with the affection and respect they deserve. I currently work as a house cleaner during the week, so I am available to care for your pets from Thursday at 5:30 PM until Monday at 8:00 AM. During this time, I can fully dedicate myself to providing your pets with loving, responsible, and attentive care — whether it’s for overnight stays, weekend sitting, or extended care. In-Home Pet Care: I care for your furry loved ones in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. By staying in their familiar environment, your pet can maintain their regular routine — which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Sara was prompt and reliable. Stayed in contact with me and sent pictures of the dogs. It is clear that she is extremely caring and loves dogs. I would recommend her and plan to use her again!”

About: I have had animals in my home my entire life! I absolutely love animals and if I had all the money in the world I would open an animal rescue. I have 2 cats of my own and they are spoiled beyond measure. I’m very well experienced with large dogs and cats. I do work a full time job Monday - Friday 8:00-5:00. I am available during my lunch break between 12:00-1:00 daily and every evening. My weekends tend to be pretty busy but during times when I’m free, I can make myself available as needed. I have two cats of my own so as long your dog is good with cats, I’m open to overnight boarding in my home if needed with a meet and greet. I’m happy to house sit in your home if needed and do daily drop ins. I am very attentive to animals and a clean freak so you will never have to worry about coming home to a mess.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, fish, frogs, chickens, and even raised butterflies from eggs. This variety has given me a deep appreciation for the unique needs of each animal, and I tailor every visit to their comfort, routine, and personality. My goal is to provide the kind of care that lets you travel or work with total peace of mind. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and extended care, with overnight house-sitting available year-round, including busy holidays. Because I know your pups deserve love while you're away at work, I may be available for morning/lunchtime visits within Knoxville. My flexible weekend availability allows me to spend focused, unrushed time with your pets while maintaining their normal routines. I make safety, comfort, and cleanliness my top priorities. In your home, I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates—so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

“Stephanie done a terrific job with all 4 of my babies. They all have a few quirks but she just jumped in and had all 4 attached to her hip. So happy I was able to find such a caring person to watch them while I was away. Highly recommend !”
