About: Too cold for a good walk? I have been a dog owner since my sophomore year of college! I love dogs and I will take time to recognize your dogs needs and give them my undivided attention. I love long walks, and I would love to have your dog join me! I am currently in school full time, but most of my classes are online! I have lots of free time during the day :) However, right now it’s winter break and I’m free all the time! My dog at home uses a harness and is crated, so i am completely comfortable using complex harnesses that your dog feels best in! I am also a pro fetch player

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, fish, frogs, chickens, and even raised butterflies from eggs. This variety has given me a deep appreciation for the unique needs of each animal, and I tailor every visit to their comfort, routine, and personality. My goal is to provide the kind of care that lets you travel or work with total peace of mind. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and extended care, with overnight house-sitting available year-round, including busy holidays. Because I know your pups deserve love while you're away at work, I may be available for morning/lunchtime visits within Knoxville. My flexible weekend availability allows me to spend focused, unrushed time with your pets while maintaining their normal routines. I make safety, comfort, and cleanliness my top priorities. In your home, I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send regular updates—so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I have had years of experience working with all kinds of cats, dogs, and guniea pigs, including regular and one-time customers. I have also lived with animals my whole life and regularly walk my large german shepherd, so I’m extremely comfortable working with larger dogs and breeds deemed “aggressive.” In addition, I have cared for countless other animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, quail, and rabbits and I am more than happy to assist with more exotic or unique animals! I’m currently a student at UT Knoxville, so I am available for stop-ins, consistent walks and house sitting, especially near and around campus! I am more than happy to add caring for your dog or cat to my daily schedule!! I am well-trained in understanding an animal’s behavior and responding properly to it, whether thats general anxiety or a requesting needs to be fulfilled. I have taken multiple animal science classes, including one dedicated to small animals such as dogs and cats. I also have almost three years of experience in the plant industry so I am more than capable of caring for any houseplants or gardens while you are gone, or general maintenance and cleaning of your house.

About: Specifically I understand the needs of French Bulldogs in certain weather conditions. I also understand other short legged friends that need accommodations and have restrictions such as jumping off furniture or when playing not throwing things too high. I run my own business but have a flexible schedule. I am also a grad student who is about to graduate and will open more time in my schedule. Currently I am available various times during the week with a lot of availability on the weekends. My pup has accommodations in every room of the house. I make sure he has the right food bowls for his breed (elevated and tilted). He also has a variety of toys and doggy door to go sunbathe or potty anytime of the day. I understand cleaning up after our furry friends and making sure they have exactly what they need.

About: I love all animals, especially meeting new dogs! I am willing to travel around the Knoxville area as needed by the job. I'm very flexible and I love long walks at any speed your dog feels comfortable going at. I like exploring areas and love parks, especially finding new areas around the city. I am very patient with all ages of dogs and would love to get to know the personality and habits better. I prefer weekends or evenings for all visits due to my regular work schedule.

About: I treat every pet like I would my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention. I’m great with playful puppies and gentle with senior pets, by meeting them where THEY are at. You’ll always get sweet photo updates and peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and loved. I am currently a senior at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I am a part time student, so I have time in my schedule to accommodate with your needs. I am more than happy to arrange my day around your pets, with my schedule being open most days of the week! I provide loving, attentive care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, always following their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I do this by getting to know the owner’s routine with their pet(s) and making sure I adjust what needs to be adjusted! This includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m gentle and patient with puppies and senior pets and make sure each pet gets the individual attention they need. I will make it a reoccurring event to send pictures to the owners to make sure they have security with their pet and I.

About: Cats, dogs, hedgehogs, bunnies and pigs, I love them all! I’ve been a cat mom my entire life but have experience with dogs big and small, medication needs, and a variety of other furry critters. No matter what your fur baby needs, I’m ready to care for them. While I do work full-time, I’m an early riser and can do both early morning and afternoon/evening visits to make sure that your fur-babies are taken care of. I always ensure any pets I care for feel safe and loved. I am attentive to any unique needs they may have, as well as being mindful and respectful of my client’s homes.

About: I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure your pet is comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your pet and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means your pet needs to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your pet. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with your pet is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they prefer! (I will also crate them depending on how you see fit.)

About: With years of experience caring for all kinds of animals—from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, and more. I have a huge heart for all furry friends. I've welcomed so many pets into my home, from beloved companions to strays and rescues looking for love. Every animal deserves kindness and attention, and I take pride in creating a safe, cozy space for them. Whether it's snuggling with a dog, playing with a curious cat, or helping a shy pet feel safe, I treat every animal like family. Let me give your pet the same love and care I’ve shared with all the animals in my life! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As an Equine-Assisted Psychotherapist (I get to work with people and animals at the same time, it truly doesn't get any better), I have the flexibility to work when I choose, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate various schedules. This means I can give your pets the time and attention they need, whether it's daily visits, longer stays, or just making sure they're happy and comfortable throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy by maintaining their usual routine, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, favorite toys, or daily walks. I take extra care to notice the details that matter to them—whether it’s a particular spot they love to nap in or their favorite way to play—so they feel secure and content in your absence. My goal is to make everything easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. By keeping things familiar and showering them with love, I’ll ensure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and well cared for.
