Cat Sitting in Alder Springs

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even baby cows—raising them with love, responsibility, patience, compassion, kindness and experience from a young age. I do work during the week at Blaine Vet. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I will go home to check on the fur babies during lunch. I have pets of my own, but they will be kept separate from yours unless they are well-acquainted and get along comfortably. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and take bathroom breaks. I welcome pets on the furniture, so your furry companion is free to relax and feel at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention as my own. Additionally, I live in a walkable community, perfect for giving your pet regular walks and outdoor time.

“Alicia was sweet, considerate and it was obvious from the photos she sent that Archie was enjoying her company and care. I will definitely contact her again.”

About: Family, friends, neighbors, and roommates have been relying on me to pet sit/ house sit/ baby sit for decades. I have experience with large and small breeds of dogs, cats, and other animals such as ducks, hamsters, gerbils, and tarantula! I am a part-time small business owner. My schedule is quite flexible. I am available for potty breaks and walks day or night. Multiple day house/pet sitting is also doable. I love to cuddle and talk to animals! Play! Feed! Brush! Bathe! Clip nails! Give medicine! I clean up accidents well (including hair balls, spills, pee/poo). I keep general spaces, crates, water and food bowls clean and tidy. I ask questions about caring for your pet as needed. I am happy to follow as detailed or as general of directions and steps as you see fit.

“Allyson took amazing care of my kitty! She kept me updated with text and pics and now Bella has a new friend. They had a fun time together and I knew she was in good hands while I was gone. I’ll definitely ask her to care for her again. Thank you so much!!”

About: Animals aren't just part of my life - they are my life. I've had pets for as long as I can remember, and I currently share my home with two sweet doggies and four quirky cats, as well as two outdoor feral felines, all of whom are loved and cared for like family. That's exactly how I'll treat your pets too - with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you're away from your pets and I genuinely go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comforted in your absence. Whether it's playtime, belly rubs, medication, or just quiet company, I adapt to your pet's unique personality and needs. Your pets won't just be looked after - they'll be loved. I work full time Monday through Friday so I can care for your fur babies before work and after work and possibly during lunch if needed. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday for care. I can do any tasks needed to care for your fur babies. I can do walks, drop in visits, clean up messes, give belly rubs, or crate them when needed.

“Alyssa is great, I’ll definitely be using her in the future.”

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.

About: I've been taking care of animals of all kind since I was young. Anything from dogs, cats and fish to horses, donkeys, cows and chickens! I currently work from home full-time. I have lots of free time to care for your pet and give them the best experience with Rover! I am reliable and pay attention to detail when I am in a client's home. I can administer medications and take care of specific needs for your pet.

About: Hey there dog/cat parents! My name is Simone and I would love to get to know your dog(s) or cat(s) on a personal level to understand their unique personalities and needs! I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life for friends and family and of course, my own furry family! I’ve had experience with senior dogs who need a little extra love and attention (along with their medication needs) and have given basic training to puppies (sit, stay, come, etc.) I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and love them like you do! I currently work full time at a surgery center, but typically I get off anywhere from 2-3pm on weekdays and I have my weekends off for more flexibility! My own dog gets lots of love and attention and of course gets his energy out in our fenced in backyard where we play together. I’d be more than happy to offer my services in ways of walking your dog, giving potty breaks, making sure they are fed and have water, and lots of play time!

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

“Naomi provided our family with wonderful service and, more importantly with peace of mind. We have 2 geriatric cats, one of whom is not well, and a 7 year old who can be a handful. None of the 3 has been alone for a protracted period of time let alone been boarded. We are so thankful to have had Naomi take such good care of our fur babies. She left our home in great shape, and collected our mail and delivered packages which was icing on the cake. We highly recommend her and will seek her out if we go out of town again.”

About: I currently live on a farm with 2 dogs, 3 cats, with other typical farm animals. I have a huge love for all animals! I especially grew up raising dogs and started training our puppies at the age of 11. I am a Photographer in/around Knoxville and currently have a flexible schedule. I absolutely love all types on animals and I’m constantly outside with them. I live on a farm with many animals and taking care and spending time with them is the highlight of my day! I have experience in caring for many different farm animals, dogs, cats, hamsters, etc. I’m also able to follow special instructions for your pet like mix medicine in with food, or mix in wet food, etc.

“So happy that I chose Jolie to watch our cats while we were away for the holidays. I didn’t worry about them at all because she would always send me photos and detailed updates about them. I would love to book her again! You can really tell how much she loves and respects animals.”

Kiera J.

“Gina is so awesome! She is very responsible and went over and above to make sure rhody was well taken care of! I can’t wait to travel again so we can book her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my first dog at age 8! I’ve cared for my own as well as family and friends. I think of them as true family members. I have experience giving dogs injections/medications. I’ll also be available to play, feed, walk, take outside, and of course give all the treaties :) I’m an RN! I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.

About: 5+ years of experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I provide reliable, loving care — whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just relaxing with your pets. After going through chemotherapy, I’ve grown even closer to my own pets — they’ve been attached to my hip these past 8 months and have brought me so much comfort. I hope to offer that same sense of safety, love, and security to your pets while you’re away. 🐾 I recently finished chemotherapy and am using this time to focus on healing and getting back on my feet. Because of that, I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting and drop-ins — other than a few doctor appointments here and there. I’m happy to work with you to schedule visits that fit your needs! 🐾 🏡 1️⃣ Respect the Home Always enter/leave carefully — lock doors, follow instructions. Keep the home tidy: clean up any pet messes, wipe paws, don’t leave supplies out. Follow any house rules (off-limits areas, couch use, etc). 🐕🐈 2️⃣ Meet Pet’s Basic Needs Feed and provide fresh water exactly as instructed. Clean litter boxes (cats) or yard/pads (dogs) each visit. Check that pets are safe and comfortable (temperature, bedding, toys). 🎾 3️⃣ Exercise & Enrichment Walk dogs according to client’s request (time, distance, leash style). Play with cats and dogs to keep them stimulated and happy. Rotate toys if needed; give love and attention. 💊 4️⃣ Medication (if needed) Only administer meds if client provided clear written instructions. Note the time given and report to owner after. 📸 5️⃣ Communicate With Client Send photo/video updates each visit. Let them know how their pet is doing (eating, behavior, any concerns). Ask questions if anything seems off — better to check than guess. 🧹 6️⃣ Before You Leave Check doors/windows are locked. Check that pet has access to food/water and safe areas. Tidy up any supplies you used. Send final update to client.

About: I've taken care of many different dogs, from chihuahuas, Pyrenees, weenie dogs, all the way to cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. I love animals, and I am willing to learn more about different breeds too! As of right now I am not working since I am a stay at home mom, so she is my working buddy (six months will not let play with the pets) so I am free pretty much anytime besides Sunday morning; because I like going to church. I can set up whatever routine you choose at your home, whether that is crating or letting them sleep out the couch, and so forth. I cannot do sitting at my house since I have large dogs that are protective.
