“Wonderful sitter for our cats and dogs! Have used her a couple of times and she goes above and beyond to make sure your fur babies are taken care of and keeps you updated every visit. Will use her every time we go on vacation ❤️”


“Beccy is wonderful with my senior bulldog! Sasha is always happy to see her for walks, playtime and cuddles. Beccy is a great communicator and genuinely loves animals!”



“I was very lucky to have Sarah take care of my dogs the first time I used Rover. She immediately had a great rapport with my pups, both well over 50 lbs and VERY enthusiastic. She sent several updates, photos included, and even walked Lucy and Mabel together. They are so rambunctious that we don't even do that! Also, Sarah was patient with my lack of expertise with the Rover app and even helped me with it. I will feel so much more relaxed now when I leave my pups knowing they are in Sarah's care.”


“Betty is a delight! Ive utilized her multiple times over the past year (most recently this week) and never have to worry about Roxie! Betty is very responsive, punctual and always provides great care 🐶”


“Katie was great! She was able to accommodate my super last minute request for a drop in sitter, (less than two days before my trip), and even took the time to stop by and meet my cat the day before the sitting days began. She administered my cats medicated ear drops (not a fun task) accurately and without complaint, made sure she got treats after, topped off food and water every day, and gave some lovins to my cat once a day every day. She has a very friendly, responsible, and trustworthy vibe. I highly recommend Katie and will use her again myself!”


About: I am a life long pet owner who loves to watch my friend’s and family’s pets when they’re in need. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies, including fostering a cat for a friend for a few months while she was away. I am a fairly active person, so I like to go on long walks and play with very energetic animals, but I can also appreciate those who just like company or want their own space. Learning the habits, needs, and quirks of each animal is my favorite part of the job, so I can be sure your animal will get the exact kind of care they need to be happy while you’re away😊 I currently have an open schedule so I will have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur children! The only days that are busy for me are Sundays, but I will still have some time available. I will be going back to work after the new year and will be working second shift, so will have the majority of the day available then as well! I like to stick to the routines that your animals are already used to following as to reduce anxiety as much as possible while you’re away! I definitely think it’s important to give extra love and attention to show that I am a friend and am there to take care of them.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to massive English Mastiffs. I’ve also had cats and other small animals, though my cat experience is more limited. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior dog with a routine, or a shy fur baby needing a gentle touch—I treat every pet like family. I know each animal has their own personality, and I take time to understand what makes yours feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I have experience with senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets with big personalities—including my own temperamental dog. Because of this, I only offer in-home sitting (in your home), not boarding. I also offer drop-in visits on weekends only, as I work full time Monday through Friday (9am–6pm) in Cedar Bluff and live in Maryville. I’m dependable, flexible with short notice, and great with communication. I also know how important it is for you to feel confident when you're away, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. Let’s chat and schedule a meet-and-greet—I’d love to connect with you and your four-legged family! I work full time Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm in Cedar Bluff, so I’m available for overnight in-home sitting during the week and drop-in visits on weekends only. Because I live in Maryville, I try to stay within a reasonable driving distance for services. I’m happy to discuss what works best for your pet’s routine and find a schedule that fits us both! When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making them feel safe, secure, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your routine as closely as possible—from feeding schedules and potty breaks to walks and playtime—because consistency helps pets feel at ease while you're away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. I make sure doors stay locked, your space stays clean, and your pet is never left unattended longer than discussed. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Because my own dog is temperamental, I don’t offer boarding. This allows me to focus completely on your pet in their own space, where they’re most comfortable.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I have always had dogs as pets, but in addition coworkers, friends, and family members have trusted me to house sit and walk their dogs. Animals are my passion, and I have always adored getting to take care of them and have some fun along the way! I am a full-time college student, but I have a lot of free time in my afternoons, and when summer break starts, I will be available full time. For now, I am keeping my availability to afternoons on all days of the week for dog-walking and house-sitting. For my pets at home, I have a fenced-in yard for the pups to run around in. I also have crates for when I am away, so I am used to multiple ways of keeping dogs safe and secure in a home. I am adaptable to whatever way my clients may take care of their pets, including, but not limited to feeding times, potty schedules, and use of a crate if needed.


“Reah was amazing and helped out on such short notice! She left such a sweet report card of our puppies :) loved seeing the photos of them playing outside. We will definitely try to have her help out again!”


“I highly recommend Abby after just one week. She communicated well, she went above and beyond willingly, she is dependable and timely, but mostly Abby truly has a heart for dogs and was loving with my two large dogs. We trust and are confident to have Abby sit for future needs.”

“Cailyn treated our kitties as her own and even went the extra mile and took out our recycling without being prompted, when she recognized others in the neighborhood had theirs out. She also saved our Home Chef food that arrived on the wrong day and could have spoiled had she not agreed to unpack and put it all away for us. Cailyn is a gem!”
