About: I've had a dog or multiple dogs at once since I was 4...my husband and I currently have 6 labs along with 2 cats, and my mothers maltipoo...We have outdoor kennels and we do offer in home boarding for smaller dogs and upon request depending on situation/circumstances and pet personality.We love our dogs and will treat yours like ours. We are currently working from home. So alot of our time is devoted to our animals.we have 2 boys who help out and love animals too. We make sure our kennels are cleaned daily and anything else that is needed.We are homebodies so we are with our animals should they need anything, plus our extra time means extra playtime outside of the kennels. We can care for crate trained animals, outside or inside pets. But you won't have to worry about them being stuck in a small & scary concrete kennel. Your furbaby can stay in one of Our large outdoor kennels with good separation and a common area for playtime. Besides playtime they will love watching the cats, chickens and cows around them.We have a lab and maltipoo inside and can possibly bring your fur baby inside if needed...***may be additional charge for inside,certain breeds or larger dogs***...Just let us know your preferences and we can go from there.

“Kristy was fantastic with my two mutts when I had to leave for a three-day work trip. They had a lot of separation anxiety but she managed them perfectly and sent lots of wonderful pictures of both the dogs as well as my cats that came and went while she was here. I am so happy to have her now established as a resource for future pet sitting!”

“Hannah was awesome!!”

“Lillian does really well with the dogs she's cared for in our home. She not only does the basics, but will train them as well. You can tell she really loves them and it's more than a job to her.”

About: I am currently a TN Police Officer.I have been taking care of different breeds of dogs, cats etc for more than 15 years. I’m well experienced with animals and understanding how they feel. I love being able to connect with animals and get to see them happy makes me happy so it’s a win win!! Hi guys! I am currently a full time TN Police Officer I work nightshift and a very odd schedule so it’s very easy for me to work into your schedule! I am very dependable and have such a love for animals. I currently have one Australian Shepherd named Palmer who snores right on my pillow every night!! I follow close instructions to your needs for your animals and will treat them as my own just like part of the family! Caring for your animal is based off both needs and requests by client. I take pride in understanding the hardships of leaving your animal in the care of another !

“Sage was an amazing pet sitter taking care of a wild puppy, laid back adult dog and a senior cat...quite the menagerie. I appreciated that she stayed in touch and sent pictures each day. I returned home from a long weekend to very happy, healthy pets, house in order and mail on my counter. You couldn't ask for someone better to take care of your fur babies than Sage.”

“Very loving and kind individual. Maddie enjoyed their interaction. Highly Recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 10, and currently have 3 golden retrievers, ages 8, 3 and 7 months! I love to give all dogs extra love and attention because that’s what they all deserve! Free all day on the weekends, unavailable most days during the week but will discuss with you before booking! I’m willing to work around my work schedule. Walks, medication administration, feeding/watering, belly rubs and ear scratches! Whatever your dog needs or is used to, I am more than willing to provide what I can in your absence!

About: Leaving your loved ones that cannot talk and describe their experience is scary sometimes. You want to be able to trust that they are in good hands with someone who will abide by your training, rules, and care as well as someone who will love them, show them as much attention as possible (especially important since their Person is away), and pay attention to their cues. I have been around cats and dogs my entire life, and love them more than most of the human race if we are being honest. I take pride in making new cat and dog friends wherever I go, and I can't wait to become friends with your best friend! While I love dogs and will enjoy caring for and playing with them, I am particularly drawn to cats. I have experience with both (but yes, primarily cats) since early childhood, and know how to read their body language and gradually warm up to them and build their trust. I truly enjoy the play and attention aspect that is needed when pet caregiving, and while no one enjoys cleaning a litter box or being a pooper scooper, it's something that is worth the reward of their company. I am usually home, with only things like taking my family to their job, school, and sitter as well as store runs taking up my time. I do gig work such as this and shopping/errands/delivery so I won't be away from the pet care job much if a boarding situation, and not for long increments when I am. Safety is key, I check exits before exiting, I will not leave two animals alone together that previously haven't been alone together nor will I leave them alone with kids, mine or any others. I will follow the owner's wishes as to not compromise their pet's routine or anything that could risk their health or wellbeing.

“Ms Tara is an awesome dog mom herself. She really cares for your animals as she would her own! Big pups to witty bittle ones, she loves them all the same! She is responsible, caring, and trust worthy.”

“Hello my name is Brit. My dear friend Brianna had taken care of my poodle for a week during my stay at a beach. She did very well as she house sat and walked my girls for miles daily. 10/10 recommend Ms.Hogan”

About: Growing up my family has raised and trained many animals; from dogs, cats, rabbits... all the way to chinchillas! I have no problem with size or species. If you have any questions feel free to ask! As a full time student weekends are best, but I am willing to make the trip on weekdays if need be. During vacations my availability is generally open! I love hiking, running and going for walks, and your pet is more than welcome to join! I have experience with raising animals from newborn to senior. My experience as an Eagle Scout has also given me experience with training in many things from home to animal care.

About: I have experience caring for cats/dogs both in my personal life (my own pets, also pet-sitting for family, friends, classmates, neighbors, etc.) and as a trained animal shelter volunteer (can provide references), where I did: socializing cats/dogs, dog walking, some basic, positive-reinforcement training ("sit," "down," "drop it," "leave it"), and dog-sitting the shelter dogs when taking them for a "Dog's Day Out." I am a medical student in my clinical years so I'll be in the area pretty much year-round, working and studying locally. But I would love to spend my study breaks playing with/walking/pet-sitting your fur babies! I am generally working 8-5 M-F, but free in evenings/early mornings outside those hours. I am free on weekends and occasionally get up to several days off at a time where I could also be available! I have extensive experience interacting with cats/dogs, dog-walking, reading their social cues as an animal shelter volunteer. I respect owners' wishes & the pets' boundaries/comfort needs! I deal with a wide variety of cats and dogs at the shelter -- some outgoing, some very shy. Large dogs, leash-pullers; smaller/older dogs needing shorter walks. I always pay attention to their moods and personality and stay aware of how they are feeling moment-by-moment to best cater to their needs and provide them whatever they may need to feel relaxed, comfortable, safe, and happy in that moment! If they are feeling happy, I'm happy :)

About: Im naturally good with animals. I have volunteered at animal shelters, and in my lifetime, i have owned three dachshunds, a Jack Russell, and a Collie. I would treat anyone's pet as my own and I would love to be a part of your fur babies daily walks! I work but my schedule is flexible. So just check my availability or send me a request. Currently unable to board overnight at my home but I can pet sit at my home for a few hours. I have access to a dog park where I live. I have access to dog park. My home is very pet friendly and safe. There are no other animals in my home at this time.
