Dog Sitting in Alcoa

About: I ONLY BOARD FEMALES ☺️ Hello! My name is Mara and I would love to help with your furbabies while you are away and cant! Loving and compassionate towards any and all animals! I am a dog mom myself and know the struggles of finding a safe and loving place while away! I offer overnight stays, dog walking, and drop ins! I have 2 female dobermans who are gentle giants. One is 4 years old and i also have a 1 year old. She LOVES playing and having friends around! Small or large!! I can assure you that your dog/cat would be more than at home here and treated just as my own. I also have a 14 year old son who loves animals as well and really enjoys helping out with their needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so your pet will never be alone or crated all day! I have a fenced in front and back yard that are separated, they are let out very frequently as we go in and out all the time and they go freely as they want since it's all fenced in! There is nothing around my home that isn't safe for them they are part of the family when they are here! I work from home, so I am always here with them! No different from any other day except four extra paws and a new friend 😍 I have a fenced yard. The front is separated from the back so they can go out together or separately. Besides that they run free in my home, possibly crated at night time so we don't have any uh ohs!

About: I have always had dogs and would love to spend time with yours! My goal is to provide anxiety free atmosphere making it easier for your family member to spend time away from you. My experience includes being a Foster Mom/Adoption Ambassador for homeless dogs residing at a local shelter. I am their advocate, learning their personalities and needs to assist in finding their forever families. **Please see below for my available drop off/pick up times** Benefits of using my services are: Large fenced yard for sniffing and exploring, cozy beds and couches, and lots of love await your fur baby while you are away. Walks, ball time, lounging, and napping are some of our favorite activities! Flexible schedule allows lots of time and attention. I am excited to hear from you and hope I can provide a fun and comfortable experience for your dog. They will be a part of our family while you are away!

This means I can give your pets all the attention they need! I am currently in school and have classes during the day on Tuesdays/Thursdays.

About: I have had pets all my life. Mainly dogs. I have trained some of my personal pets in the past. I also love seeing animals personalities, and learning to work with them from there. I work 8a-4p Tuesday - Friday, and some Mondays (same hours). I never work weekends or evenings. I have an hour for lunch on the days I work, so I am able to run by for a potty break if needed. I have a big fenced in backyard just waiting for your dog to come roam! I do not currently have any pets, so I do not have a cage, water bowl, leash, etc. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.

About: I have raised two Australian Shepards myself. I have taught both of them all the basic commands myself. I am very patient and understanding. I just love being around animals as much as possible. I will give your pet plenty of attention including playing and exercising your pet. I am currently taking classes online so I am open nearly every day to take care of your pet. I am very flexible and have my own reliable vehicle to get to where I need to. I may currently be a little higher than other, but I will actually stay night and day to take care of your dogs. Not just to show up let them out and feed them In my home my pets are completely spoiled. My Aussie is always by my side including sleeping at the foot of my bed. My dog gets daily exercise. I am perfectly fine with treating your pet like my own or setting boundaries if you do not allow your pet on furniture. I also have experience with caring for horses. So I have no problem dealing with large dogs

About: I have had pets since the day I was born. Even when I went to college, my roommate had 2 cats that I love so much. I have experience with almost all animals you can think of. I have handled timid animals, young animals, senior animals, and animals with behavioral issues. I’m currently working a part time job, mainly during weekdays typically night shifts. I am very up front and honest about availability and will update as soon as anything changes. When taking care of other peoples pets, I always put their pet and their home as first priority. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe and does not feel stressed out with a new person being around.

About: I’ve taken care of my household pets since I was 13. We had 2 cats for +8 years and adopted our furry brother, Ace, who belonged to my stepdad for about +5 years. He’s a smart and protective Dingo mix who I miss dearly. My parents moved out of state and took the pets with them, which led to meeting Maggi, a beagle-blue heeler mix who belongs to my boyfriends family. Together, we got our Siberian Husky, Leia at 8 weeks. Leia is my pride and joy! I learned how to house train, groom, and set an effective routine for our girl. I am currently a full-time student, but I make sure to find time in my schedule to enjoy life’s moments. My schedule is fairly open this summer. I ensure to follow any instruction left by the owner to provide the best experience possible for the household pets and owner. I practice safety by monitoring pets and learning their queues, while being in areas I’m familiar with.
