Pet Boarding Chattanooga

About: I’ve been rescuing animals since I could talk: dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, lizards, turtles, anything with a pulse lol. I am a veterinary social worker with a passion in the animal human bond. I have recently started training to be a dog trainer. I have experience working with high energy dog breeds, puppies, kittens, and senior animals. Many of the skills that I use as a therapist are transferable to training and bonding with animals. It’s so exciting to connect the information I know about humans with working with animals. I work full time as a therapist and am gone for about 3-4 hours at a time. After 3-4 hours I come home to check on all animals. Weekends I am completely open. The day typically starts around 8am in my household and schedule may vary depending on the needs of the animals in my home. I have a fenced in yard and designated dog room for crating animals while I am away. It is important to me that your animals safety is top priority, so when unsupervised they will be crated in a room designed for their comfort. I have 2 friendly pups who have been through professional training & one cat who minds his own business. I have the ability to separate your animals from other animals if needed. I can accommodate various needs.

“Kailin is a kind, diligent caretaker. Our English Bulldog is not the easiest of pups but she have the love and patience it takes to care for her. We recently went out of the country for 10 days and came back to a happy, healthy girl. Thank you Kailin!”

“We dropped our dogs off for boarding while my partner and I raced in IM Chattanooga and are so thankful that Jaxen was able to watch them! They got to play a bunch and tired themselves out — and got a bath before being picked up. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while we raced.”

“Leaving “Little Missy” (my 13-yr. old Jack Russell Terrier) with Christina and Brent was the first time I can remember, getting away for the weekend and really enjoying myself. I can finally relax knowing “my little girl” is safe and secure with the husband and wife team that really cares. I knew she was in good hands the moment I pulled into the driveway. That’s when Brent came out of the house to greet us excited and calling Missy’s name. Suddenly, the dog that had been moping around all morning because I was leaving… Immediately! Came to life and took off running towards Brent like she had known him her whole life. He picked her up and started playing with her like they were old friends. That’s when I felt relief… knowing I had finally found a place where Missy could interact and play with a caring couple and their sweet dog Harper. Giving my dog the time and attention she needs and deserves. PLUS… I really appreciated the candid photographs Christina snapped of Missy during her stay. They allowed me to take a peek at what she was up to…while giving me a satisfied peace of mind.”

“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”

“It was a last minute reservation at which I even botched the time and date up. Sara was very polite and helpful throughout the whole process.”

“Our dog loved staying with Rachel & her family!! So much so that he didn’t want to leave when it was time to go. 😂 Rachel was communicative and lovely and she took amazing care of our pup. We’re always a little anxious when we leave him, but it was clear from the many pictures and texts that he was well cared for, happy, and safe. We will absolutely be repeat clients.”

“Angela is a supersitter! She was so kind and caring with our dogs and really went the extra mile, throwing frisbee to our Aussie and loving on our cavapoo! She is a genuine animal liver who treats your pets like her own! We will definitely rebook. Thanks, Angela!”

“There's no better place than Álora's home. I felt good and at peace leaving my little one there. I know he enjoyed the atmosphere she creates through her personality. Now we know we've found a safe and trustworthy place. I'm sure my little Ollie enjoyed it immensely. We got the impression that they treated him like one of the family, and that says more than a thousand words.”

About: I’ve taken care for animals since I was 9 years old from dogs to cats to even reptiles. My family, neighbors and past coworkers have relied on me for top notch pet care. I can care for your pet throughout the weekend for that extra time off. During the week day i am in school and can do only half the day from 3 pm or 4 pm to 11pm. I have a a big fenced in yard for dogs with a lot of energy to a personal cat palace for your cats run and jump around.

“Kristen has been our go-to pet sitter for two years. When our pups stay with her, we know they’ll get plenty of love and interaction. It’s a fun vacation for them, and we rest easy knowing they are in good hands. She is always great about sending us pictures and updates. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a sitter. 🐶”

“Karie was wonderful! Communicative via messages and sending photos, took my dog on multiple walks a day, and in general cared for him as one of her own. Highly recommend!”

Sarah S.

“I highly recommend Katie and Cedar! Jake just spent four nights with them and although he was glad to see me, he was very happy and comfortable with them! They have a fenced in backyard and Jake absolutely loved running and chasing cedar who was a lot of fun to be with and likes to play. Katie is a sweetheart and I have a lot of confidence in her abilitie to keep Jake safe, AND that he would enjoy being with them. Jake is excited to have a new place to go and stay. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life from early stages to senior animals. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs. And I’ve been able to train them to follow commands. I am currently a resident physician. Although some weeks, I work many hours, other weeks I work at typical 8 to 5 and I have many weekends off. I have one cat who stays indoors. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and I’m close to different parks as well as a little fenced in yard at the apartment complex.

“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”

“We had an unplanned family emergency and Dominique took our pup last minute. We always want him to stay with her because we know he will be safe and loved.”

“We are so appreciative of Susannah taking great care of our dog over the holidays! We know she is in good hands and has a great time at Susannah’s house.”

“Jonathan kept my dog really well. We went away for 20 days, and I always felt confident that Watson was well looked after. When I picked my dog up he couldn't believe I still existed. He'd completely adjusted to his new life;) We'll happily use Jonathan again, and I'd recommend him to anyone.”

Catherine S.

“Nancy & Stan are amazing hosts! There was daily communication and pictures. Their family loved on our fur babies like their own. First time with them, as well as Rover. We would definitely use them again. They went above and beyond. The kids are used to “flavoring” with their meals from us. They did not have to, but they gave them “extras” with their meals. Very clean, smoke free home. Our babies were well cared for and loved. It was wonderful to go on vacation and not have to worry about them. Nancy even washed his belly bands, very thoughtful. When we got home from picking them up, they are happy and well adjusted. No issues at all. Highly recommended.”

About: Animals are my life. I’ve had pets since I was a baby and they mean everything to me. I love all and will care for them in any way they need and especially love seeing all the different personalities. I currently have two cats, and dog and a rabbit of my own. My dog does have special needs, which comes along with some anxiety, but he’s really good with other animals. I typically work from home throughout the week but do leave for meetings and showings (real estate agent). That being said, It is a pretty flexible job, so I can work with you to make sure something works out. Every morning my pets are the first task. Taking the dog out, giving my dog his medicine, feeding and making sure all pets have food water. I like to make sure that my pets, and others, are fed and let out on the schedule. If the schedule is a little different than normal, I like to make sure their needs are taken care of at an appropriate time. I don’t want them being hungry, need water or ever have to hold going to the bathroom too long.
