Pet Boarding in Alcoa

“Brittany was great! Murphy had a great week with Brittany and her family. She always responded very promptly whenever I needed to reach out and she provided updates on how Murphy was getting along while we were gone. We definitely plan to use Brittany again in the future.”

“As far as I can tell, Frances did a good job She wasn't good with sending updates or photos. I didn't know when she arrived or left. So late that night, I was concerned something happe.ed and my animals were alone. I messaged and received a response the next morning. She was good at communicating on Daturday but I don't know if she left early, late or on time. The water bowl was empty anf most likely had been for a while because it had been k locked over, which is what one of my girls diesn when its empty to say she needs water. With the time I got in, it would not have been empty if Frances left when she was supposed to amd had checked the water bowl.”

“I can’t thank Lori enough for the fantastic care she gave my dog! From the moment I dropped him off, he felt right at home, playing happily in her big yard with her kids and other dogs. It was such a relief to know he was in a loving environment where he got all the attention he needed. I’ll definitely reach out to her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter. Thank you, Lori, for making my pup feel so loved!”

About: …Have I told you I love your dog yet? I'm an animal lover who understands dogs are family. They need and deserve love, attention and respect! I've been a dog owner since I was 6 years old, and I have been a dog sitter for several friends and family friends over the years. I have experience with dogs from 7 months old to 14 years old. While I love dogs of all ages, I have a big ol’ soft spot in my heart for senior dogs. Sometimes I think life would be easier if that weren’t so, but here we are! These golden years are so special, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside any senior dog in this lifetime. I work in accounting, so why am I on Rover? A few months ago, my senior boxer Gypsy crossed the rainbow bridge after a valiant battle with cancer. While I may not be “ready” to fully welcome another dog into our home just yet, I have a lot of love and attention to spare for the dogs of Knoxville! Life is short, love a dog, am I right? I have a large fenced-in backyard to play in and a reliable/safe SUV to transport. My husband and I do not have kids or any animals. I do attract birds, rabbits and squirrels to my yard- so there’s plenty of entertainment. If I dog sit for your dog, you can rest assured they will be the only animal companion in my home. I do not book more than one booking at a time. I am flexible with incorporating what your dog is used to doing at home to make sure they are the most comfortable during their stay. If you want them on the furniture, that is okay by me. If not, we can work with that, too. Our play time, feeding, walks and chill time will be on their schedule as well. I’m well-versed in administering medication orally, even to the most stubborn of canine patients (you learn a few tricks of the trade with the senior crowd) and I am very well-organized when it comes to time-keeping with medications and schedules. Did I mention I love photography? I always have my camera on me and I’m willing to bet you’ll love the photo updates you get from me of your dog! If the weather permits, we may even be able to get a photo session in (with your permission of course). Thanks for stopping by and considering trusting me with your faithful companion! Have a great day. I currently work full-time in office and sometimes on a hybrid schedule. I work 10 minutes from home and my availability is best suited for people looking for care between Thursdays-Sundays. I do not work on Saturdays and Sundays and have more flexibility to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your dog to run around in. If your dog is used to getting on the furniture, that is absolutely okay with me. I will only accept one booking at a time, which means your dog will have my full attention and care!
