“Brrrt and Luna loved having Bethany here with them! I appreciated all the pics and could see that they were being well cared for while I was gone. Came home to a clean house and tired dogs!”
“Taylor was a god send for us. We had arranged for a previous sitter, not affiliated with Rover, who backed out about 10 days before our departure date. Having used Rover in the past, we conducted a quick search, found and met with 3 very qualified candidates. Taylor was the clear choice, and she was absolutely great. She and Lorelei, our soft wire dachshund, hit it off immediately. Taylor texted us and sent pictures while we were away. We would heartily recommend Taylor to anyone and will not hesitate to use her in the future.”
“Brianna is the best! She took wonderful care of our pup for a week. She stayed with Amelia in our home and they had a blast! The pictures Brianna sent captured the fun they had. We'll continue to request Brianna's help again and again!”
“Katie did a great job taking care of our dogs! She sent tons of videos of them having fun! She came through for us when we needed her, even when it was last minute. We would use her again!”
About: I have grown around all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, sugar gliders, and lizards. I love getting to know different animals and I have done a lot of research about their care. I will be starting school back in Cookeville soon so from August 6th through the 19th I will be available any time any day of the week. After that once my classes start I will be available evenings Monday through Thursday and any time Friday through Sunday. I cannot have pets in my current apartment so it would make me so happy to help others care for their precious babies! I will treat client homes and their pets with respect and love. I am a very organized and clean person and I would love to help other take care of their fur babies!
“Laura was great with the dogs. She came on short notice and met us and our dogs. She was very friendly and did a great job with our fur babies. We will definitely use her services again. She is highly recommended.”
“Keisha could not have done a better job. She sent really awesome pictures and kept in contact. My animals are sometimes stressed when I come home from traveling, and they weren't after Keisha kept them. I hope she'll watch them again. She is wonderful!”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve pet sat for friends and family for as long as I can remember, and I also worked at a dog and cat daycare for nearly two years during high school. Now that I’m in college with a more flexible schedule, I’m excited to spend time with more four-legged friends! Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away, I’m here to help. I also have a cat of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I'm currently working part-time at Tennessee Tech as a resident assistant, which means I live on campus and have a flexible, well-managed schedule. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine—I’m often nearby and available to drop in, provide consistent care, and spend quality time with your pets. Plus, I’m already used to being a reliable and trusted presence in people’s lives! Since I live on campus as a resident assistant, I’m unable to host pets in my own space. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home! Not only does this help them stay in a familiar environment, but it also allows me to provide dedicated, one-on-one attention while keeping them relaxed and stress-free. I’m dependable, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

Kora S.
“We met Kora about 3 years ago when our dog went running to her for a snuggle as she walked by. I could see from their interaction that Beef was a fan of Kora and that Kora was a dog lover! After chatting a while, we learned that she was looking after our neighbor's dogs and would gladly look after Beef too. Well, we took her up on it and she's been our trusty dog sitter ever since. Last month we went away for ten days to get married and honeymoon overseas. We had absolutely no stress when it came to our dog because we knew she was in great hands because Kora is reliable, responsible, and we knew Beef would be showered with the attention she craves. Kora has also looked after my cat who lives at my parents' house. Kora is a great young lady who I trust both with my animals and to come to my house when we aren't home.”
