About: I’ve grown up with pets. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. People know they can rely on me to give their pet the amazing treatment they deserve! As an online college student at UTK, I'm your ideal pet sitter, always available and ready for anything your furry friends need. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being above all else. Throughout the day, between classes and assignments, I'm there to ensure your pets feel loved and attended to. From morning cuddles to evening adventures, I'm dedicated to creating memorable experiences and building a strong bond with your pets. With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion for your pets, ready to make every moment special. Choose me, and rest assured your pets will receive top-notch care and endless affection. When it comes to caring for both cats and dogs, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. While cats won't be venturing outdoors, I ensure they have a stimulating indoor environment with cozy spots, toys, and scratching posts to keep them happy and entertained. In my home, for our canine companions, leash walks are the name of the game to ensure their safety and enjoyment during outdoor excursions. Meanwhile, our feline friends have their own special corners where they can lounge and play to their heart's content. From playful pups to curious cats, I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities with open arms. Whether it's a solo adventure or a cozy cuddle session, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each furry friend, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. While outdoor adventures may be off the table for our feline friends, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep them engaged and content. Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands. With safety, trust, and a whole lot of love, I'm here to make every moment special for your furry family members, indoors and out.

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.

“We were very grateful that Robyn could come last minute to watch our older dog and fish. As with most dogs, she always pouts when we're getting ready to leave but I could tell from the pictures Robyn sent that she was happy, rolling on her back, playing in her pool,and having a good time playing ball (fish unperturbed). I will definitely use her again!”


About: I grew up on a mini hobby farm and helped my family care for our animals starting at around age 7. As I grew older I continued to love animals and have had my own pet rabbits and cats. I currently have two beautiful cats and help to care for my family's aging Golden Retriever when I am at home. I am a student on summer break looking to fill in the gaps left by my part time jobs. I am most available early evenings, Saturdays and some mornings. I am very attentive to animals in my care and will be on the alert for possible hazards your pet may encounter in addition to providing for their needs and comfort . I aim to establish good communication with all animals I encounter.

About: I have raised dogs and small animals my whole life. I have watched family and friend’s animals. I am currently a Veterinary Technician student online learning more about animal care each day.

I am available most weekends. Let me know what days you are needing and I can work with you! I take my pups to walk in parks, or around my neighborhood.

I have inside dogs, but they go out several times a day for potty breaks and to exercise.

About: Liscensed as a veterinary medical technician in the state of Tennessee. Attended college at Lincoln memorial university and have been practicing since 2004. I've always owned animals and have worked with all different species. Very flexible. I work from home right now and I have lots of freedom with my schedule.

I have one medium dog inside and she can be separated from your pet.

About: I have two dogs, two cats, and two snake pets of my own. I have taken care of some of these animals for almost 10 years now. Through out the years I have taught some animals some tricks, played outside, and have given them the love and attention they need. I am a freshman in college and looking for a beneficial way to spend my free time; what better way to spend that than with animals? If you are in need for someone to care for your pet I would be more than happy to help! I am a very active person and can take ur pets on walks, keep them entertained or anything of that nature to keep them healthy. For senior pets, I stay at ease, have patience, and am very calm to their liking. I am extremely cautious with any and every animal I take care of to ensure their safety!
