“Special thanks for Mike taking such great care of my 3 pups! I so appreciate getting their daily report card as well as pictures♡ Mike also went above and beyond for us. He reached out to let me know we have some raccoons that found the food we left for the 2 cats on our property. They not only found the food but made quite a mess spilling it all over the deck. Thank you Mike for cleaning up their mess so we didn't have to tackle that when we got home.”

About: Lots of pet care experience! Drop your pets off with me so they can be loved on in a home environment while you’re away on your trip Pet care is a huge part of my weekly routine and I promise your pets will get lots of care and love while you’re gone! I drop by as often as needed to make sure they have plenty of potty breaks, food, and love while you’re away just as I would my own!

“Jenny did amazing taking care of our pups! She provided them with the attention she would her own dog, and it made our trip more enjoyable knowing our dogs were in great care!”


About: Hi there! I’m a college student who studies from home and absolutely loves animals. I’ve had pets my whole life and have 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently have a super sweet 80lb labradoodle and a friendly cat who both love new friends and are used to being around other animals. Whether your pup needs a cozy nap spot, a calm environment, or a playful companion, I can adjust to what makes them happiest. I work at the local high school during the day, but when I’m not home, my husband is—so there’s always someone here with the dogs to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision. We also love going on walks around Lee University and nearby parks, so your pet can get fresh air and exercise too! I’m reliable, caring, and treat every animal like family. I’d love to be your pet’s home away from home! I’m a college student who studies from home, so I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing company, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine. Since I’m home most of the day, your furry friend will never be left alone for long and will always have someone around to give them love and attention. I treat every pet that enters my home like part of the family. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where animals can feel comfortable and safe. I make sure all pets are supervised during playtime and mealtime, and I pay close attention to their behavior to keep them stress-free and happy. My Labradoodle is friendly and well-socialized, and I always do slow, monitored introductions to make sure everyone gets along. I also follow any specific instructions you leave to keep your pet’s routine and preferences consistent. Whether your pet is in my home or I’m visiting yours, you can expect dependable care, affection, and a safe environment every step of the way.

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: I’ve spent my whole life around animals — not just the usual cats and dogs, but wolf hybrids, foxes, and all sorts of other amazing creatures. Over the years, I’ve learned how to read an animal’s body language, earn their trust, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve worked in animal care as well as in public service, so I know how important it is to communicate clearly and treat everyone (human or furry) with patience and respect. I’m pretty flexible with my time, so I can usually work visits and walks in when your pet needs them. Just let me know their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things running the way they like it. I’ve spent years working with animals of all kinds—from family pets to wolf hybrids and even foxes—so I’m comfortable reading behavior and keeping pets safe in any situation. On walks and visits, I pay attention to their mood, energy, and surroundings so they get the right balance of exercise, comfort, and companionship. My goal is always for them to feel secure, happy, and well cared for until you’re back.

“Beka was awesome! Our dog is standoffish and doesn’t like very many people. When we leave he gets highly depressed and stops eating for days even after our return. Beka came to visit Timber prior to our trip and the he took to her right away. Timber ate like a champ the entire time we were gone and when we returned he was a happy happy boy, not in his normal funk like every other trip away. Beka sent us updates and took great care of Timber and the house while we were out. She has a wonderful sweet personality and is very trustworthy. We will absolutely use her again!”


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!

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a calm, happy environment. Whether it’s giving medication, handling high-energy dogs, or comforting shy pets, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Our pets are our best friends, and it's my goal to ensure that we enjoy our time together! While it may be my job to provide care and love to your pets while you're away, I can also say that I value my time spent with each animal! Nothing makes my heart happier than a wagging tail or a slobbery kiss :) I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets both during school semesters and breaks. I’m committed to providing mindful, loving care whether it’s a quick visit between classes or longer stays during holidays. Your pets will receive consistent attention and companionship no matter the time of year! When pet sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I’m careful to secure doors and gates, avoid hazards, and monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and healthy.

When we are out of home it is usually just for a few hours. I can accommodate most schedules! I am available for sitting in our home 7 days a week and to do drop in sitting M-T. We live on 10 acres set back far from the road. We have friendly dachshunds who can be kept separately or allowed to play with your pup!

I have a fenced in backyard, but I can also leash walk your pets as needed. We also have a great nature trail within 5 minutes of my home for higher energy dogs.

“Delaney is a true superstar! I left her with her hands full and she did everything I asked! She even took extra care with my kitten who had a health problem as well as has a great time with my pups ? 1000000% recommendation and will use her again!”


About: I successfully nursed my first puppy back to health from a bad case of PARVO when I was only 19 and this pre-empted a 26 year career as a critical care nurse. I have been retired since 2015 and enjoy my 10 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chicken out in the country. I am very experienced in caring for multiple pets. I am well versed in medication administration in pets if there are any specific needs. Many friends and relatives have relied on my services for walking, feeding and caring for their beloved fur babies over the past 3 decades. I am currently a stay at home dog, cat and chicken "mommy" so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate most any schedule or need I have a very large double gated fenced yard to safely and securely allow plenty of playing and running space for my large family of dogs
