About: I offer pet care with love, responsibility, and great attention to detail. I understand that every pet is part of the family, which is why I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or companionship, your pet will be in good hands and receive the care they deserve. I work for myself, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your furry baby and give them plenty of attention and love. I also have two friendly dogs who love to play and socialize, so your pup will have great company and a fun, safe environment while in my care. I have a fenced backyard, which helps keep your baby safe and secure while they play and enjoy their time outside. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved like part of the family.

About: I’ve owned pets since I was born, even now I own 2 rescue cats, 2 golden retrievers, chickens, ducks, too many tanks and fish to count and often many rescue animals. I’m the girl that stops my car and moves snakes, alligator snapping turtles and all manner of creatures from the road. I’m not scared of any pets, or animals. I love to meet new furry friends and often am told I have “a way” with animals. My nick name as a child was Snow White. One day we hope to own a farm. I graduated college as an EMT, so I have wound care experience and also am trained in natural medicine as well. I’m the mom of 3 and have the privilege of being a stay at home mom of humans and animals. I’m free most of the time to help care for those who need help! I often dog sit at my home with my family as supportive help for playing with and caring for those in our care. My kids adore walking, playing and loving on any pets. I and (if desired) my kids can easily come to care for your loved ones at your home as well. We cater to preferences and love animals of all kinds! Furry guests in our home usually sleep on a kid and their bed all night unless other preferred requests like a kennel if you don’t want them spoiled.

About: I've always had a connection with animals. I know how to give medications as needed. I've always been asked to pet sit since I was 10. I currently work full-time as a front desk receptionist at a hotel. I used to own my pet sitting business but life happened and COVID happened so I had to go back to work full-time. I have been wanting to pick back up pet sitting because it made me happy. I work afternoons 3:00 pm to 11:00 pm so I could check in before and after work. Or if staying in your home then I'd be gone for 8 hours if I'm working during that time. Either way, I'll be present and loving the whole time I'm there. I will follow whatever instructions you leave me. Plus, help them feel loved while you're away. There will be no worry because they will be in good care.

We absolutely loved Shannon! She was so sweet and understanding with our super skittish fur babies. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures, and with how our pups behaved for her during her drop-in visits. We could tell that they had been taken care of when we got home. They were very relaxed and happy to see us! We will be using Shannon again for sure!

Kelcie did so well with Enzo. He’s a dog with trust issues but warmed up to Kelcie quickly. Kelcie was great at communicating if she had to stop in later than usual and she took such good pictures of Enzo. I think they really grew attached to each other during the months I spent in Knoxville. We will surely miss her!

About: Hi! I’m Lyndsey and I was a veterinary technician for 4 years, but have been dog sitting full time for the past 3+ years. I also have my own licensed dog boarding business, and do Rover on the side when I have availability! My husband and I live in Athens,TN. We have about 5 acres of land fenced in. We love getting to meet all kinds of different dogs, and having them interact with my kids. I’m home pretty much all the time so I never have to crate unless they sleep in one at night. I have clients that have been returning since 2019. I have 2 little girls, and all the dogs I’ve watched have been great with them! During all of the stays for the dogs I watch I provide homemade treats, and toys to play with. I hope to watch your fur baby real soon! ❤️ So I’m available any weekend or weekday to dog sit your sweet fur babies! I will make sure they are in great hands! Look forward to meeting new clients! I’m able to administer any medications you may need for your fur baby! I’m currently home 24/7 unless I have doctor appts, or have to run a few errands. So your dog wouldn’t ever need to be crated unless you have them sleep in one at night. I can also admin meds if they require to have any during the day. I have a fenced in yard that wraps around my whole house, and also send pics throughout the day how they are doing. They have plenty of room to play as well.

About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!
