“Saundra was great and was always updating me. I have a shelter dog and sometimes it takes time for her to warm up to new people. Saundra continued to care for her despite not receiving a great welcome at first :) but my dog finally warmed up to her after a day. I am thankful!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. I have owned cats and small dogs and even big dogs including Belgian Malinois in my lifetime. I will give your dogs and cats the best love and care while watching them. I am a stay at home dog mom so I have plenty of time to care for other peoples fur babies and give them the best care and love. If your pet stays in my home they will get lots of walks and lots of play time. I have a nice neighborhood for walking.
“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”

“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”

“Laura was INCREDIBLE!! She stayed with our boys for 4-5 days and took amazing care of them. They took to her immediately. She communicated well and consistently. The boys love her and we do too!!”

“JaNiya took amazing care of my dog Finch! I’m so grateful to her even in short notice she was able to help me out. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and easygoing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: I have over 5 years of pet care experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra attention, I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. I’ve cared for single-pet households as well as multi-pet families, including homes with several cats and dogs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication, companionship, or simply a consistent routine while you’re away, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind when you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part time, which gives me flexibility to provide reliable care, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress free while you’re away. Whether you need drop in visits, house sitting, or extended care, I strive to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs they may have. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pets feel safe, cared for, and treated like family.
“Kailey is fantastic! She really cared about my kids and me for that matter! She washed and changed my sheets so I had a clean bed to crawl into when I got home. If you want someone who cares about your animals, Kailey's your girl!”

“Wonderful to have Laura take care of my puppy at my home. She updated me on how everything was going and sent me pics of playtime and their walks. Felt very comfortable with Laura and would love to be able to have her watch my pup next time”

“So grateful to Jay for making our vacation worry free!! Especially with our senior dog, who we were reluctant to board due to a heart condition that worsens when she gets excited/nervous. Jay was very responsive to my request for a home stay, and offered a meet and greet in our home at our convenience. He and his wife were just lovely and they asked all the right questions - so we knew off the bat that our girls would be just fine while we were away! We got regular updates and pictures while we were gone and when we came home our two dogs and cat were just as happy and healthy as reported :) I think they might have even been a little disappointed to see us instead of Jay! Lol, until next time girls. And thanks again Jay!”

“Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”

About: I have had all kinds of different pets growing up. There is nothing better than the puppy stage. Seeing their growth is always so exciting. From English bulldogs to cats, I would enjoy the opportunity to love your babies while you’re away! I am currently just a student and while in summer pet care should be no problem! From playing, to potty breaks, even cuddles. I would love to fit your pet into my routine. While in my home, I will offer them walks around Lee University. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I am open to dog parks if the client is as well. In the clients home I will try to maintain the amount of play and attention the animal is used to receiving. Play time outside or inside couch cuddles.
About: I’ve grown up with pets. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. People know they can rely on me to give their pet the amazing treatment they deserve! As an online college student at UTK, I'm your ideal pet sitter, always available and ready for anything your furry friends need. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being above all else. Throughout the day, between classes and assignments, I'm there to ensure your pets feel loved and attended to.

With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion for your pets, ready to make every moment special. Choose me, and rest assured your pets will receive top-notch care and endless affection. When it comes to caring for both cats and dogs, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. While cats won't be venturing outdoors, I ensure they have a stimulating indoor environment with cozy spots, toys, and scratching posts to keep them happy and entertained. In my home, for our canine companions, leash walks are the name of the game to ensure their safety and enjoyment during outdoor excursions. Meanwhile, our feline friends have their own special corners where they can lounge and play to their heart's content. From playful pups to curious cats, I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities with open arms. Whether it's a solo adventure or a cozy cuddle session, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each furry friend, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. While outdoor adventures may be off the table for our feline friends, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep them engaged and content. Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands. With safety, trust, and a whole lot of love, I'm here to make every moment special for your furry family members, indoors and out.
“Sommer was amazing! Well, it was a last-minute decision to go out of town for the holidays and leave our puppy. We are so happy and lucky we found her. She did multiple overnight stays for us and worked around her schedule and was very diligent and making sure that our puppy was taken care of. I definitely look forward to having her as a part of our family as needed! Thank you, Sommer for all your help and I was not worried about my dog at all!”
