“Wendy was beyond amazing. She was super available last minute to help me with my plans, and even came by before so my reactive dog could meet her and I could show her things. She sent me great updates and photos about what they were doing, like a very cute one of my dog sniffing flowers! I could not recommend her more highly.”


About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, always there was a dog or cat as part of the family. I have cared for pets for family and friends over the years. I would love to care for your fur baby. I promise to love and care if they were my own. I currently own a Boston Terrier, her name is Sadie Rose. She is my 2nd Boston, and she is my little love. My 1st Boston, Chakka died from cancer 6 months before I got Sadie. I have owned every dog from Labs, Rottweilers to now Boston Terriers, and a few mixed breeds in between. I love my little Sadie Rose and want her to be loved by anyone who cares for her. I would treat your pets the same. I am working 4 days a month at the hospital. I would have lots of time to care for your pet, as you need me. My Sadie has the run of the house and sleeps with me at night. I would take care of your pet, whatever you need for them. I’m available long walks, exercise and playtime. Also included or lots of belly rubs!

About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

About: I've taken care of multiple dogs as a kid and recently got into caring for cats. Every pet is special and unique and requires different responsibilities. I've been recommended to take care of friends' pets before and I thought about applying this idea differently in the form of pet sitting. I'm currently on summer break from university and I have plenty of time to take care of any pets within my loose schedule. I have plans for a part-time job but it won't take away mornings. I have a pet-friendly neighborhood and live near Tims Ford Lake. There are a few crosswalks and it's by the square so although there's traffic during the day, it's a relaxing place to take a walk or visit a pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. In the past couple of years I have cared for my grandmothers rescue dog while she works. I have experience with reactive dogs and training puppies. I am a full time college students so my schedule is a bit tight but I still have time to walk or house sit your pet. I have unfenced back and front yard and a small fenced in area in my backyard. I have a pet friendly dog who is crate trained and well behaved. I have experience leash and crate training. I have a small crate and a large crate in my house.

“Austin was a life saver for us and our new adopted pup. Austin is responsive, professional, and really good with our dog. He gives him treats and belly rubs after his walk, uploads pictures, and even offered to work with him on some commands we’ve been working with him on. Highly recommend Austin.”


About: I've been around dogs since I was a freshman in highschool (27), but have seriously been taking care of animals in the last 5 years. While the number may sound small, I like to think the quality of my care and attention outweighs the quantity. When boarding at our house, your dog will be loved by my husband and I - who are both on-the-floor caregivers. No love will be spared whether I am at your house or mine!! I am currently working as a commission disco artist, so I have the ability to have a very flexible schedule and work around different care types and needs! I can come to you or you can come to me - regardless, there will be a high level of attention and love given to your baby! I have a fenced smaller yard, therefore medium-smaller dogs are ideal (unless larger dog is lazy / cannot jump). We do not have any other pets; we have stairs; allowed on the couch when it is covered; happy to have them sleep in bed or crate , if provided. Not looking to mess up any routines you have set in place!!

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for as long as I can remember. As well as family friends’ dogs and more. I love pups and will take good care of yours like they’re my own! I’m currently a college student at tennessee tech! Just trying to help out and meet cute dogs and make some extra money for school :) I’ll make sure to follow any directions given to the t. And I will just make sure the pet is taken extremely good care of.

About: Hi, I would love to watch your dog while you are away! I have always wanted a job working with animals...and I think this is a perfect fit for me. I will treat your pet like family, exactly like I do for my dog and cats! I have a ten year old lab mix named Max and three cats. Max is very friendly and loves other dogs. I have many years experience with different breeds of dogs, dogs with anxiety, and elderly pups. I have a fenced in yard that my dog enjoys, and I also take him for walks. I'm ready to give your dogs my full attention and love! ❤❤ I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pet! I'm available for boarding, dog walking, and drop in visits. My partner (Autumn) does work full time in retail so her schedule does fluctuate but she is available for dog walking and drop in visits before or after her shifts. She also helps out a lot when we have pups staying with us. She is also handles most of the scheduling. She is the more organized of the two of us 😅. If you have any questions about anything regarding your pets care just let us know. I have a fenced in yard and animals to keep your baby company. My partner is an animal lover also, so we will both give your pet lots of love. We also work slightly different schedules throughout the week, so your baby won’t be left alone or if they are it won’t be for long. We also have a separate room for the cats that is separated by a baby gate that we use to separate guests if we have to step out for any reason. That way everyone stays safe and supervised. We also try to send lots of pictures. When we go away I know how much we miss our babies so I always try to keep that in mind and send updates and pictures.

About: I have two dogs and one cat of my own and I promise to treat them like one of my own! For dogs, I can walk them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them! For cats, I can also play with them and give them some love! I’m a rising junior at Tennessee Tech University studying at the nursing school there! Even though my major relates to humans, I’ve always been dedicated to taking care of animals if they needed it. I have a dog of my own that I’ve done plenty of research for in order to take proper care of him! I’ve also had two more dogs and seven cats of my own back in my hometown! Safety is my biggest priority. In my client’s home, I will utilize every safety resource that is offered: fences, leashes, crates, and more. I will always make sure your fur baby is taken care of!

About: First, my husband and I have the most fun with our (not so little) rescue pups: Milo and Diesel. We love doggies! I enjoy getting exercise with our younger dog, going on runs/ walks, and most importantly, snuggling. Dogs need love too. I work a couple part-time jobs, and I want to get back into the pet care field. I watched all kinds of animals for family and friends through college (dogs mostly but also chickens, cats, fish, goats, etc!) I’d love to help others out since I have more flexibility in my schedule coming into 2025. I am currently working part-time remotely so I have a lot of flexibility! I also work part time as a private tutor but I am self employed so my schedule is up to me! We won’t have pets stay in our home since we already have two large dogs. I am happy to do drop in visits and walks though!

About: Hey there! I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to toddle after a dog. I grew up with pets of all kinds, and now I have a rescue pup of my own named Ellie. She was a scrappy little street dog I planned to *just* foster... but, well, she had other plans (classic foster fail). Ellie came with some quirks—okay, *a lot* of quirks—but with time, training, and about a million treats, she’s now potty trained, crate trained, and living her best couch potato life. As a pet parent myself, my *biggest fear* is leaving town and someone watching my dog who doesn’t love her like I do. That’s why I’m here—to be the person *I* would trust with Ellie. I’ll love your pet like they’re my own, give them all the belly rubs they deserve, and keep you updated so you can enjoy your trip without worrying if your fur baby is secretly plotting your return. Let me spoil your pet while you're away—you’ll come back to a happy, relaxed animal and probably a few funny photos. When it comes to scheduling, I’m all about your pup’s routine! I’m available for drop-ins at any time—morning zoomies, midday potty breaks, evening snuggles, you name it. Whether your dog runs on a strict schedule or just vibes through the day, I’m happy to work around whatever keeps them comfortable and happy. Just let me know what they need, and I’ll make it happen—flexibility is my middle name (well, not legally, but you get it). Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I care for every animal like they’re my own baby—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat my Ellie. Whether it's keeping a close eye during walks, making sure they're secure at home, or sticking to their specific routines and rules, I’m all about providing 10/10 care every single time. You can trust that your furry friend will be looked after with love, attention, and a whole lot of tail wags (or purrs!).

About: I was raised arounds all kinds of animals since I can remember. I love indoor and outdoor pets just the same! I’ve dog sat and house sat many times for friends, families, and strangers who have all asked me to come back because of my low rates, flexibility, and playful attitude. I love caring and loving on animals, walking dogs, and giving them the best care possible, no matter ages and sizes. I am available for walks and drop-ins as early as 6am through until the evenings.

Sometimes I can be wherever I am needed within a couple of hours. I treat each pet with the care I would if they were my own. I can respond to a number of needs. I can bring them to a park to run if they are active. Or I can let them out at home in their own space.

About: We like to call my house the mini zoo because since I was born there have never not been pets! I am a very enthusiastic and I will always match a dogs energy! I love being outside and have always loved animals. Taking care of our mini zoo has become a very normal part of my life. I am a very good multitasker so I tend to juggle many things! I will always treat the space and animal with love and kindness. Treating your pets the same way that I would treat my own. They are family after all!

Kora S.
“About a year ago we went to Atlanta GA for several days. At the time we had 3 dogs. A older lab and a Doxie mix. And a fairly new female Pittie Mix. Kora stepped up and cared for the Pittie Mix. No questions asked. She was caring and responsible. I would certainly trust her in our home. She comes from a wonderful family and I would highly recommend her to care for my dogs again.”
