Cat Sitting in Alder

“She was great. Came over for a meet and greet beforehand and all my furry kids loved her. She took great care of them and even kept me updated. Definitely recommend using her services and I will definitely reach out to her when I need someone to watch my babies again.”

“Ripley was great! She took good care of my kitties, and gave the brave one that decided to come out plenty of love and attention. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have had animals my entire life, I currently have 3 dogs and a cat of my own. I have small and extra large dogs so I know the care that each size group requires. All of my pet owning friends come to me for medical and training advice. I am also always the first person they come to when they need someone to take care of their beloved pets. I can follow strict regimens regarding food, brushing, bathing, medicine etc. My availability is for weekends only, as I do have a full time position as a Teacher Assistant. I get off work at 12:30 pm every Friday and have every Saturday and Sunday off. My partner works for the Women’s Basketball team at the University of Tennessee and I often take care of their dogs for trips. I know I can easily fit in a few more fur babies to make someone else’s life easier! I have a reliable vehicle to take me to and from your house, as well as a love for exercise for walking your dogs! You and your animals experience with a walker/sitter is my top priority. I understand the fear of being unable to find someone trustworthy to watch your pets, having some of my own. I have a large fenced in yard and still make time to take all 3 dogs on walks to give them the exercise and stimulation they need to be happy.

“Wonderful experience from start to finish! Sarah was pleasant, prompt and kind enough to help us at such a short notice! Our dogs loved her. Can’t wait to get her help again in the future. A+++”

About: I have any many different pets over the years. I currently have 6 dogs (3 are 30-40lbs and 3 are 10-20lbs) and 7 cats (4 females, 3 males). All of my pets are spoiled babies. I have an open schedule and am able to visit with your pets Mon - Sat 10 am - 6 pm and on Sundays after 1 pm. I will care for your pet in whichever way is best for them so that their daily routine and feed schedule is not disrupted while you are gone.

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was born. I can do just about anything with fur and four legs. I often pet sit for my parents who have 9 pets. I was also a dog groomer at Petsmart. I work part-time in Oak Ridge, but live in the Powell/Karns area. My hours very from just under 40 to one or two days a week, mostly on the lower end. Other than that, I’m all yours! I have a fenced in front and back yard with a very social poodle and a big strong boyfriend to help if needed. I’ve got a couple of crates that’ll fit up to about a 60 lb dog. We’re crawling with toys and treats, which can be filtered through to find what’s best for you pup while they’re here. Two king sized beds for wind down time, too. Our poodle, Bing Bong, goes on a mile-long walk everyday that your pup can be included on. We can lengthen or shorten the walk depending on size and energy needs. I LOVE pet sitting and having visitors, especially of the fluffy variety!

“Wonderful sitter! We will use her every time for sure!”

About: My first ever job in high school was working for a doggy daycare, training, and grooming facility. This is where my love for animals of every kind bloomed, and i personally have a horse, two dogs, and a cat at my home away from college that I miss very much. At my knoxville home I adore taking my friend's dogs hiking and to the dog park to fulfill that itch of spending time with furry friends. I am a student doing rover part time during the summer and I volunteer at a hospital in town on Monday every week for two hours and an animal shelter with kitties for two hours every Thursday evening. I am very meticulous about maintaining the perfect care for my pets and yours. I understand how important these members of the family are, and I do very well when given a specific list. My love for the outdoors and hiking specifically complement the energetic pups, but I am just as happy to relax at home to study or read.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have experience with all size dogs and I am comfortable with them. Happy to feed, walk, bathe, work on training, you name it, I’m down! I do not currently have a job. I watch pets full time! I do have a Yorkie and a Maltese. I live in LaFollette with my husband. I have a big yard and a very walkable neighborhood. Animals I take care of get treated like my own family. I am happy to make specific accommodations for any pet I watch.

“Great communication! Went above & beyond taking care of our cats. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 6 years old, I love dogs and I used to dog sit for a family last year and I loved it! I followed rigorous daily tasks for them as well I’m currently serving part time and have limited school hours so I’m available for most of the day. I can also be available on weekends! I care for pets as children of the family because honestly that’s what they are and I’m more than happy to do anything to give peace of mind to the Owners about who’s watching their animals!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and currently own sweet Zola, a two year old Dalmatian rescue! My family and I run a non-profit animal rescue in East Tennessee in our free time that provides animal care, education, TNR, and a free community pet pantry. Additionally, I have experience with house sitting in the past for family friends. With this being said, I am experienced in day-to-day animal care for dogs and cats of all sizes, needs, and personalities. I also have experience in turtle and prairie dog care and am open to caring for all animals. I’m finishing up my last year of college and am joining rover to add additional income during this time! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me, I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family members :) I’m currently working my primary job and attending classes Tuesday through Friday. My primary job’s shifts are 4-6 hours, so I can still house sit these days as long as your pet is okay home alone for a few hours at a time. I am completely free for scheduling of any of my services Saturday through Sunday unless otherwise posted. I am pretty flexible and am willing to work with you on dates to provide you the best flexibility and care for your pet! When caring for your pet, I always treat them like family—prioritizing their comfort, safety, and well-being at all times. In your home, I aim to maintain the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications. Please provide me these details as well as anything I should know prior to the service. I’ll ensure the environment remains clean, secure, and stress-free. Additionally, I always take time to bond with the pet to help them feel as comfortable as possible without you! I will send updates and adorable pictures of your pet for peace of mind as often as you like!

“Sam was fantastic! Very, very communicative and worked great with us and watching our 2 cats. Would highly recommend her and will be using her again if needed”
