About: While I've been a lifelong animal lover, I also have been employed by a doggie daycare since April of 2022. While I've always loved dogs, I also pride myself on fostering an understanding and respect for them. My job is part time and I generally only work half a day two or three days a week so I would be able to spend lots of time with any pet in my care. If I care for your pets in your home, you can rely on me to care for them to your exact specifications. If I am required to stay for an extended period, your home will also be treated with care and respect.

Christie was the absolute best dog sitter. She arranged a meet and greet before our trip. She texted when she was on her way to confirm her arrival. I received daily pictures and check ins and my house was left in perfect condition. She even washed dog textiles before we arrived home. Plus a last minute illness for one of our pups was no problem. She administered meds like the professional she is. We will use her again.

Stacy did a great job caring for our 1 year old high energy Husky/Corgi mix and taking care of our home while we were away. We appreciated her experience with animals and it show in her ability to manage our high energy teenage pup who is also still adjusting from only being adopted a little under a month prior. Her regular photos and updates kept us at ease while we were away in these early stages and when we returned the house was just a we had left it. We look forward to having Stacy watch Frosty again and have already booked her again for our next in home sitting.

About: Animals have always been a vital part of my life. I currently live with 2 dogs( an Australian Cattle Dog and a Yorkie), 5 cats, a bearded dragon, 2 dart frogs and 4 fire bellied toads. I have owned special needs dogs and cats and am empathetic and understanding of the responsibility that come with that. I have worked with dogs and cats off all sizes, temperaments and backgrounds in animal shelters and veterinary hospitals. I am comfortable with making sure your pet receives any routine medication that he/she may need while under my care. Specialized diets are not a problem either. Your pets safety and health and your peace of mind is my top priority. Anything that I am capable of doing to help you and your pet I will do. I have very flexible availability this summer. My optimal time for check ins would be in the morning and early evenings. I am willing to work with what works best for your pet. I can give any required medication or supplements. I will spend my time playing or cuddling with your pet. I will play fetch with your dog if you have a fenced in yard and walk leash trained dogs. If you have a cat I will play with them or cuddle them, or just enjoy their company. Different pets have different needs and preferences for affection and play, I will follow their lead and not push them or make them uncomfortable. When introducing myself I will go slowly and let your pet guide that interaction. I speak to animals kindly and softly and handle and pet them gently.

I have a fenced in back yard that is about a quarter acre in a quiet neighborhood in the Boones Creek area of Johnson City. The back deck also has a gate at the top of the steps to provide extra security for the little ones or seniors who may have trouble. I am ok with animals being on the furniture so your pets can be as comfortable as possible in my home.

About: I’ve had at least two dogs my whole life. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic obedience reinforcement, and providing structured playtime to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I work a different job monday-wednesday and sometimes other random days. Other than that i’m usually free to watch your animals. I’m also pretty flexible! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health changes, and provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

Kyleigh took care of our post-op senior dogs over several days, and everything was wonderful. She gave them meds, removed the cones for meal time, and made sure they were snuggled and loved while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and respectful caregiver. Highly recommended!

Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our three dogs. From the moment she arrived, she immediately connected with all of them, including our more challenging dog, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. She walked them twice a day, sent us photo updates, and was incredibly responsive whenever we texted. It was clear that she cared about making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. When we returned, the dogs were relaxed and the house was in excellent condition. Taylor was responsible, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly great with animals. We would not hesitate to have her care for our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Sarah is so great with my little Baxter. As soon as I let B know Sarah's coming over to watch him, his tail starts wagging, his butt starts wiggling, he's smiling from ear-to-ear,its the cutest thing I have ever seen. She is dependable and flexible. She has become more then Baxter's dog-sitter. I consider her my friend. We love you Sarah! 🐶🐾🐾🐾

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Jojo. Jojo instantly took to her. She was great when I was leaving to keep Jojo preoccupied so she wouldn't get that separation anxiety that she normally gets, I can tell she's played a lot over the last 36 hours because she is worn out. My house looks impeccable, absolutely nothing out of place and I will definitely be hiring Jennifer for all of my future needs.
