About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.

About: I currently work full time but from the comfort of my own home. I always stress about finding a reliable sitter when I am away and thought why not help relieve that stress for other pet parents. I worked at a boarding facility as an operational manager for 2 years and have experience with all types of pups, including providing medications, special diets, etc. I also have two pups of my own and one has liver complications and the other one has entered old age, so fully understand the importance of care. They are my world. I value creating an environment that suites all fur babies. If yours needs a space of their own, I can make that happen in my home. I have tons of space and am happy to make sure your fur babies are comfortable. I have two dedicated adult bedrooms I use for boarding. Pets well have a warm bed and area that is all theirs. Of course they well have full access to the entire house but I all pups need their own space. I have a fenced yard with a tall privacy fence so potty breaks are secure and will be fully supervised. I want all pups comfortable. I can offer walks throughout the day for additional charge. My time is very flexible. I create my own schedule at my job so I can make anything happen with proper notice. I’m open to help whenever and wherever. I have two friendly pups who love other dogs. I have been trained in dog behavior and feel confident to know when a dog needs a break, uncomfortable, etc.. I’m quick to react and pay attention at all times.

About: I treat every pet like family whether it's training a playful puppy or giving extra care to a senior pet. I'm experienced, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. From medication to playtime, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and at home. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and spend most days at home which means your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and companionship. I love having animals around and build my day around their needs, whether that’s walks, feeding, or just being a calm presence. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do it’s part of my everyday life. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. In my home, pets have a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, and a calm environment tailored to their needs. I follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s usual schedule including feeding, walks, and medications.I will provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands, no matter where they are.

About: I looked after and cared for my family’s two dogs as a teen and am 1 year into being a work from home dog dad for our English Golden, Archie. I can walk, feed, play and otherwise entertain your pets as I do my own. I work from home doing an 8am-4pm office job fully remote. I have many breaks throughout the day as the job is on call/as needed. I use this spare time to enrich our puppies life with exercise, playtime, and training. Weekends are usually free unless I am out of town. I have a fenced in back yard for easy outside time and a small neighborhood for walks. I have a 1 year old English Golden Retriever named Archie who loves to play and make new friends. I can kennel dogs at night if needed. Archie’s night time routine involves his crate which he prefers to go to at night for sleeping. On an average day we alternate between lounging by the hearth, playing frisbee/ball outside to get laps in, naps, and of course walks around lunch time and shortly after work. I can come to your house for check ins or walks and if needed can pick up/drop off your pet for boarding at my place.

“Kolten did a great job communicating, updating me and sending pictures while I was out of town and my husband was at work! We would definitely use him again. I can tell he loves animals!”

“Brittany always takes great care of my 14 year-old Shih Tzu Kobe. Today, I was in a pinch with a last minute situation and she was glad to help.”

Katrena E.

“We thank Alivia for taking loving care of our Adelmo. She is a reliable, scrupulous and competent person. We will ask for her help again and will recommend her to our friends.”

Doretta C.

“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”

Amanda W.

“Had a last-minute family emergency come up Jenna was very responsive and easy to talk to. I wasn’t able to meet her first but Rex was very well taken care of. She was very thoughtful about his food and water 100 out of 10 rating! She had great updates throughout the walk and throughout the day!”

About: I’ve worked in the pet industry for a year and some months now, I’ve worked in daycare settings, boarding settings and even grooming. I am certified in first aid, CPR, and have been shown how to properly administer medication. I have had pets my entire childhood! I have six pets that have different needs, from chihuahua to 2 Malinois, and three cats. I am not scared of being around high energy breeds but I also enjoy time with dogs who love to cuddle and enjoy their day more contently. My entire life I’ve been around animals and have had the pleasure of dogsitting for seven years. I’ve babysat dogs in my neighborhood and outside of it. I’ve had the fortune to babysit animals til their fur turned white and had the pleasure to kiss them til I couldn’t anymore. That being said; I am able to commute to you, I do not mind the drive, or I am more than happy to board in my own home where they will have their own space. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet somewhere, or with someone, I do my best to communicate every day with you and that includes photos and videos. I have been in that very same boat. I assure I will do my absolute best to meet every need for your pet as if they were my own. I currently have free time until I go back to work, so, my availability is open almost all week! That being said, my weekly routine is able to be flexible and work around whatever works best for you and your dog! All I ask is for communication to always be transparent and direct so I can suit the needs of you and your baby. I have a 3 bedroom home and the third room is turned into a space for your baby to board safely away from my own fur babies and enjoy the stay as stress free as possible! I ensure that your fur baby has the space, the daily walks morning and night, and time to come out and play as they see fit. Now, if it’s at your own space, then I will continue the routine or schedule you lay out and will ensure that their needs are met!

About: I have helped train dogs for friends, family and neighbors! Love getting to know other peoples doggies and helping them get their energy out! Can’t wait to meet your puppers! All of my work is freelance work so I would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I book for walks or drop in visits! Safety is my number one priority! When doing drop in visits I make sure your pet is safe and happy! During walks I always use a good grip on the leash and make sure your pet is safe at all times!

“Julia is excellent with my dogs and does a great job, they are always excited to see her.”

About: What sets me apart is that, for me, it really is all about the animals. I don’t just stop by, check the boxes, and leave; I pay attention to what your pet actually needs. Whether that’s a longer walk, extra playtime, belly rubs, or simply some companionship, I want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve even stayed longer or taken dogs on extra walks simply because they needed the exercise and attention. I have experience with breeds such as Boxers, Poodles, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls, and I’m very patient with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I believe calm, confident energy and clear communication are so important when caring for pets. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy giving animals a great experience. On walks, I don’t rush dogs. I let them sniff, explore, and enjoy themselves while making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with kindness and respect. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate most visit times and routine. Pet care also fits naturally into my routine because animals are already such a big part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel cared for. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks and drop-in visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give pets the time they need, whether that means a good walk, extra snuggles, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special preferences. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I give pets fresh water, attention, playtime, walks, and patience based on their personality and needs. I also enjoy sending updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Dogs have been part of our lives since childhood, and now we're lucky enough to share our home with three well-trained pups who absolutely love having furry friends visit. We've been through it all—raising energetic puppies, caring for senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. As a stay-at-home mom and work-from-home dad, we're here all day, every day. Your dog will never be left alone and will get the same love and attention our own dogs receive. Our daily routine includes hour-long walks and plenty of playtime in our fenced backyard, where dogs can run, explore, and socialize safely. We only accept one additional dog at a time to ensure every guest gets personalized attention and fits well with our pack. Our three dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and love making new friends, so your pup will have built-in playmates if they're interested—or plenty of quiet companionship if they prefer a calmer pace. We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else. We'll treat your pet like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. As dog lovers, our pets aren't just part of our schedule—they are our schedule! Since we're both home full-time, your dog will be integrated into our everyday life just like our own. Our dogs get a solid hour-long walk every day around lunchtime, and your pup will join right in. When the weather's nice, we're constantly heading out to the backyard for play sessions, potty breaks, and supervised exploration throughout the day. Because we work from home, there's always someone available for attention, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch. Dogs have free access to our main living areas and are never isolated or crated unless that's your specific request. Meal times, medication schedules, and any special routines you have at home—we'll stick to them. Your dog will simply become the fourth member of our pack while they're here, getting the same care, exercise, and love our three receive every single day. Your dog's safety is our top priority. Our home features a securely fenced backyard that's regularly inspected, and we never leave dogs unsupervised outdoors. Inside, our space is dog-proofed and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. We're experienced in reading dog body language and managing group dynamics. Before any visit, we do a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility with our pack. We only take one guest at a time so we can carefully monitor interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. We know trust is everything when it comes to your pet. We'll keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, and we're always available if you need to reach us. All dogs in our care are treated with the same watchful eye and gentle care we give our own—because we understand they're not just pets, they're family. Our calm, loving home environment means less stress for your dog and peace of mind for you.

About: I have always been so in love with animals! Growing up we had two Himalayan cats and 6 chihuahuas. Needless to say, we had a full house! I treat all the animals that I care for as one of my very own. I absolutely love all animals!! I am the oldest of my siblings and I have always been a nurturer. Being a nurturer really comes easy to me and helps with this as I appreciate the importance of the well being of your lovely pet. I have done dog sitting for many dogs that have been on a special diet and very sick. I have an open schedule right now and love to take your pets out for some fun! Dog owners have always been very pleased with my skills and such special care for dogs. I have a pretty open schedule as of right now. I am very flexible and would love to discuss some arrangements for dog sitting for your fur babies! I live in a house with lots of room for play! It is a very safe neighborhood with lots of areas to go on a nice walk!

About: I adopted my first dog in 2015 and he’s been with me ever since! I also recently adopted a rescue Beagle who came from a testing lab in east tennessee! I’ve been a dog groomer for a little over year so I have experience with all types of breeds and ages! I currently work full time as a dog groomer with Thursday and Friday off so I’m fully available all day on those 2 days! I’m also available everything afternoon after work! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and spoiled! As a full-time dog groomer, I’m experienced reading dog body language and making pets feel comfortable. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and send lots of photo updates so you know they’re having a great time!

“Lindsey is the best! She truly cares about your pet as if it was her own! I will keep rebooking Lindsey every week. She takes the time to play ball with my dog, which happens to be my dog's favorite thing!”

About: Hello! I’m Beckah, and I’m so excited to meet you and your best friend(s)! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have had the privilege of caring for them through every stage, with a particularly soft spot for senior dogs and the extra patience, compassion, and care they deserve. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel safe and at ease while they’re in my care. I’m happy to tailor their care to whatever makes them happiest; whether that’s checking in throughout the day, spending time playing and giving plenty of pets, or taking long walks (leisurely or otherwise!) where we can stop to smell every flower along the way. “Going out for sniffs” is what we called it with my best friend and soul dog, Rylee, who was by my side for 17 years. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the kindness and love they deserve. Thank you for trusting me with your four-legged family member. I promise to care for them like they’re my own. I have plenty of flexibility and am happy to work around yours and your pets schedule! For walks, I prefer to get an earlier start so as to protect them and their paws from the heat, but with temperatures finally starting to come down, we can hopefully start to do mid-day walks again soon! I believe every pet deserves to be cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. When caring for your pet I’ll take the time to understand their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll be mindful of keeping things clean and tidy, following your instructions, and making sure your pet’s normal routine is maintained as much as possible. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident knowing they’re in good hands.

About: There has never been a time in my life where I lived pet free. Dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, horses, ferrets, and large birds. Sometimes all at the same time. Training is a must for these types of situations. I am available to help as needed. We have recently rearranged our lifestyle to spend more time at home for both, our human and pet family. This includes your pet as they are now part of our family. Large fenced in back yard and 7 acres to walk together. Offering indoor play area, kennel free stay, raised dog beds, chairs and doggie couches.
