Mariah’s experience and personality makes her a great pet sitter. Our German Shepherd was a rescue that had been abused and she is generally wary of people, but took to Mariah instantly. If we should need a pet sitter in the future, we would hire Mariah without hesitation.

Allison agreed on short notice to watch my cats this past week and did a super job. She did exactly what I asked her to and I am very pleased. I would hire her again anytime or recommend her to anyone.

She was great with Jaxx and kept him good company. Nicole is so sweet, accommodating and caring. Very patient and takes her time with Jaxx to make sure he was doing good on each check in. Jaxx is already looking forward to the next time he gets to see Nicole 🤍

Sharon has been very reliable and great with my dog. She always sends pictures and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. I feel comfortable knowing my pet is in good hands when she stops by. I would definitely book with her again.

Brianna was amazing.. and always kept me informed. She dropped in on my 3 rambunctious cats and did extra duties like getting my mail and cleaning up where she didn't have to.. will definitely use her again if the need arises!

About: I’ve grown up around multiple animals, having dogs and cats and other exotic animals. I also used to watch neighbor’s pets if they needed me to. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.

Hayley was great with my cat and sent me photos everyday. She was in contact with me daily and as needed. She was quick to respond when I had a question. I plan on using her again when I travel.

About: I have two dogs 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! I’m a 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: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for dogs of all ages. I’m experienced with energetic puppies who are still learning the ropes, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I will keep your routines consistent, making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means extra playtime, calm companionship, or gentle care. You’ll always get updates, and you can relax knowing your dog is treated like family! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work part-time, and my schedule changes day to day, but it’s very flexible. That flexibility allows me to plan my day around pet care and give dogs the time and attention they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or check-ins. I’m able to adjust my schedule to match each dog’s routine and make sure they’re never rushed or overlooked. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow all care instructions carefully and always send updates so you know your dog is happy and well cared for.

I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.

Jennifer is a great pet sitter. I had her sit my 2 cats and 2 chickens. The cats were in the process of being toilet trained. Jennifer went beyond expectations and encouraged them like I do. They were so comfortable with her even my one picky cat that hides from strangers. I couldn't have lucked out any better than finding her to take care of my babies!

About: I have always had an affinity towards taking care of animals, specifically dogs! I have walked and taken care of many of my friend's pups and I had a beautiful German Shepherd named Tavi for many years whom I loved dearly. Now that I live alone and do online school full-time, I am looking to spend more time around dogs since I unfortunately can't have a pet in my own apartment. I love to hike and spend most of my time outdoors when I'm not doing school! I love taking care of animals and although I am a full-time online student, I am also human and require lots of outdoor breaks myself (just like our pups). I am available most days usually after 10am until around sunset. I am very organized and will stick to/adapt to you and your pet's needs. I love to play with dogs and will also make sure any medication is taken if need be.
