Cat Sitting in Chilhowee

“She was kind to my little guys and swept”

Alma R.

“We had just unfortunately lost our other cat Swiper about 2 weeks before our trip, which Maddie had previously met, and our cat Cedar has been extra needy and stressed since then. He’s been extra vocal and threw up quite a bit and marked outside his litterbox. Maddie was very understanding and it was a relief to know he was being checked on and tended to while we were away, and to have a sitter as patient with him as Maddie seemed to be! We got cute photos during each drop in visit, along with a detailed note on how he was doing and what got done. Thank you Maddie (and husband haha)”

About: Hello everyone! I have been around animals my entire life, and they fill my heart with joy. My services include; dog walking/sitting, cat sitting, farm calls, and exotic pet sitting as well. With my wide-ranging experience in animal care, your best friend will feel right at home with me. I feel comfortable around all animals, big or small, whether they have fur, slime, shells, feathers or scales! Pet care has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family has always owned animals. Whether that be dogs, cats, livestock, snakes, birds, rats, the list goes on. I was raised to love them and treat them with respect. Now that I am adult, I have taken all I’ve learned and turned it not only into a hobby I’m passionate about, but a career that I can also be passionate about; something that brings me true joy and happiness. I have three degrees related to the study and care of animals. I have also worked various jobs in the animal care field. My love for every animal I encounter only grows stronger. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your companion. Pet care has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember.

My personal animals I have at home are treated like family. They never go without love, care, and attention. I will treat my client's pets the same way. They are let outside to run and play several times a day, ensuring that they are not bored, that they stay active and healthy, and they have plenty of enrichment.

“Thank you Thomas for taking such good care of our girls!”

“Sarah is truly a lover of animals who is LOVED by animals. She is also a gifted photographer. I saw my cats flourish in her care through her photos that she sent me as often as I wanted!!! My two shy boys really came out of their shell with Sarah. And the two affectionate cats sought for her attention every chance they could! It was a gift to receive photos of my pets during her stay & their experiences together. Sarah is a wonderful communicator too. She is just a text away. If you are worried about your pets getting quality care, Sarah is the one for you!! She ensures they get all the love, food, meds they need.”

About: I love animals and have always had pets. I have worked for Rover over the past 10 years off and on. I also use it for my own animals when we are traveling. I have three dogs of my own and a large fenced in backyard. I am a mom of three and I work in the school system so I'm currently off in the summertime. I would love to help with your pets! I look forward to meeting you! I'm currently off work during the summer so have a pretty open availability. I love to spend time with my pets and my kiddos love to play with them. We will definitely keep them entertained! I have a large fenced in yard and three dogs of my own that are very playful. I am happy to walk your dogs as well if needed. Can also crate them if that is something you need as well.

About: I grew up on farms with lots of animals and always took care of them. I have a deep love for animals and making sure they're happy and healthy. I understand what they need and enjoy keeping them playful and active. I'm currently in college in the mornings and working part-time on the weekends, but I can definitely fit my schedule to anything! I have a strong work ethic and am very organized, so balancing different responsibilities comes naturally to me. Plus, I absolutely love spending time with dogs and making sure they're happy and well-cared for. I don’t have any pets at the moment, but I live in an apartment with a lot of green spaces. You don’t have to be worried about safety. I will take care of them! For me dogs and cats are part of the family!

I also have experience caring for small animals, rodents and some fish and reptiles. Please reach out to see if I am the right person for your pet! I attend school online, and currently not employed, so my schedule is fairly open. I am caring for pets part time to help get through school to begin my new career!

About: Growing up, I always had a strong love and admiration for dogs. My parents always had dogs growing up and I am used to being around many different sizes and breeds. I am a server so have a very flexible schedule! I work about four or five hours at a time, so I have plenty of availability to check on your pet and give plenty of potty breaks! I am located in Wears Valley, but am willing to travel to Maryville, Knoxville, Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg! Currently, I do not own any pets as I recently moved into an apartment. Growing up, I was always consistently around dogs and cats. My grandparents owned a farm in Louisville and I often helped care for the animals there. My parents also always had dogs and cats so I am very comfortable and used to taking care of them. I also have pet sit many times for friends and neighbors!

About: I’ve taken care of my household pets since I was 13. We had 2 cats for +8 years and adopted our furry brother, Ace, who belonged to my stepdad for about +5 years. He’s a smart and protective Dingo mix who I miss dearly. My parents moved out of state and took the pets with them, which led to meeting Maggi, a beagle-blue heeler mix who belongs to my boyfriends family. Together, we got our Siberian Husky, Leia at 8 weeks. Leia is my pride and joy! I learned how to house train, groom, and set an effective routine for our girl. I am currently a full-time student, but I make sure to find time in my schedule to enjoy life’s moments. My schedule is fairly open this summer. I ensure to follow any instruction left by the owner to provide the best experience possible for the household pets and owner. I practice safety by monitoring pets and learning their queues, while being in areas I’m familiar with.

About: Vacationing in the Smokies? Live in the area? My name is Rylie and I am located in Townsend, TN right by the Smoky Mountains National Park. I am more than happy to walk your dog around the block, go on an adventure on the trails, or just stop in while you are out! I strive for professionalism and will give my 100% to keep your pet happy and healthy and your home/accommodation safe and respected. I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, livestock, etc so I am also experienced in veterinary first aid. I have also cared for insects, reptiles, a small vivarium, and many houseplants and gardens if your plants or other critters need a check in too! Monday, Thursday, Friday I am available until 3 pm and Saturday until 2 pm. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am available all day. I work an evening shift so I am unavailable in the evenings except Tuesday and Wednesday. I am a full time RVer with pets, so I understand pet care needs while traveling or working. I care for everyone's pet as if they were my own, and stick to their normal routine and requests from the owner as much as possible. My campground has a dog park, hiking trail, and river for our dogs to play in, and if you are nearby these may be available for your dog to enjoy as well. I have an active, young lab/Shar pei mix and an older Havanese, so I can adjust to the needs and capabilities of dogs for walks and activities. They are both great on a leash and long line, and my lab mix enjoys a good play date!

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including horses, cats, dogs, goats, chickens, reptiles, and birds. Currently, I own two cats and a bearded dragon. Throughout my life, I have worked in veterinary clinics and on horse farms, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Additionally, I have interned and volunteered at Zoo Knoxville. My passion for both animals and people motivates me in my work. I work three 12-hour shifts, so I'm available four days a week. I can make exceptions for seven days if the owner is okay with their fur child being alone for 12 hours. I can administer medications, feed, water, play with, and clean the litter box for cats. I love cats and assure each client that I will take great care of their furry child.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since age 10. I enjoy walking, feeding and spending time with all animals. I am loyal, have a great sense of humor and love to just sit on the couch with my furry friends. I am currently working at a middle school. I am available most days after 3, school breaks, weekends and holidays. I will spend as much time that is needed with your furry friend. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime and nap time. I have a fenced in back yard, I take my 3 furry friends on daily walk's and make sure all their needs are taken care of. I own a French bull dog, so I understand the need for extra care to certain breeds.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m comfortable with all ages and sizes, including puppies and seniors, and I have experience with routines, medication, and creating a calm, safe environment. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! As an esthetician and small business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for your pets! Being my own boss means I can plan my day around pet sitting needs, whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or overnight care. I love incorporating time with animals into my routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I have a three-year-old chocolate lab who I play with and care for daily, so I’m very familiar with the attention and consistency dogs need. I always make sure pets have a clean space, fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of affection. I follow any specific instructions and treat every pet like they’re my own.

“Very nice experience. Kristi communicated through the stay with regular emails on our Cat’s doings and sent pics. I would book with Kristi again.”
