“If my Penny is the Poster girl for Rover then Mia and Caleb are the Poster Parents! I've never left my dog with anyone but family members or someone she knew closely. I had an urgent housing need for my dog when I came to a graduation at Tennessee Tech, and my original plans had changed quickly. Mia and Caleb are rock stars! A five-star review does not seem good enough. I scoured six reviews to land on them. Location and their reviews had everything to do with it. They made Penny fill right at home, I could tell from the pictures. They even let her sleep in their bed!! She took to them instantly. She has separation anxiety, so I was really worried. But they said she only barked for a couple minutes and settled in just fine. They made a place for on the back of their couch so she could look out the window for me. That makes her happy. I gave them instructions and they followed them to the T. I can't thank the two of them enough. They are amazing. Thank you Mia and Caleb for making my night so much easier and worrisome free! YOU BOTH ROCK!!!”
“Mariah offers an outstanding space for your beloved pets to stay. I can tell she provided our two dogs with genuine love and care during their week long stay. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, look no further. I am so very happy we found her! Dr. Stephen Dunnivant”
“Melanie and James were fantastic with Jax! Jax made himself at home soon after my boyfriend and I left. Melanie and James are very personable people. We will definitely book with them again if/when the need arises.”
“Erica was a dream come true. Her and her family took in our three golden retrievers and treated them like they were her own. She communicated often, sent pictures of the dogs and asked very good questions to help them remain comfortable in her care. I honestly won the lotto in choosing her for our dog care when traveling. We had total peace of mind while we were away and it was 100% due to the loving care and true investment Erica and her loving made to our three dogs. Erica is our go to from now on!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals all of my life, including several dogs of my own. I have had puppies all the way up to my dog mack who is 16 and lives with my parents. With the help of my girlfriend who is on the track team at Tennessee Tech University your pet is sure to have a fun time and stay safe. I currently am a full time student and don’t have a job right now so I am home all day on the weekends, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The only days i have class are 12:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and show them the love they deserve. I have a big apartment and have a fenced yard for your pets to run around in and play and also an unfenced yard for walks and runs. I also live close to a dog park to let your dog socialize if that is desired.
About: As a kitten foster and multi-pet household caregiver, I’m used to caring for animals with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. Whether it’s playful kittens, shy cats, or dogs that need structure and attention, I adjust my care to what each pet needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to behavior and health. I take the time to really understand each animal and respond to what they need—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, routine, or a quieter approach. I take pride in being dependable and communicative. You’ll get consistent updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I offer: • Drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays • Care for multiple pets at once • Medication administration • Extra patience for shy or young animals • Close attention to routines and behavior I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible :) Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely. As long as I have my laptop, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I can care for your pet in my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable. If they prefer staying in their own space, I’m happy to bring my work with me and keep their routine consistent. This flexibility means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have companionship, supervision, and a calm presence—whether that’s relaxing on my lap while I work or resting nearby. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a secure, calm environment with close supervision. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard that backs up to a farm and a quiet cul-de-sac street, giving plenty of space to explore safely. While my yard isn’t fenced, I take extra precautions to ensure pets remain secure at all times. I have a small Morkie who enjoys gentle play, and kittens in my care are always excited to meet new friends. Interacting with other animals not only enriches their social experience but also helps kittens become more confident and adoptable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely, provide attentive supervision, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and confident in their familiar surroundings.
“Bethany and her family are the best place by far to leave your dog! She was able to accommodate us last minute for a long stay. Our puppy is only 4 months old and did wonderfully there. She kept up on her routine and helped train her in other areas. She also sent daily pictures and videos for our kids to see. Can’t say enough good things about her.”
“Cindy is the best! Roscoe is a very anxious black lab but she made him feel like he was home. She communicates well and sends pictures often. First time we’ve left Roscoe and didn’t worry one time about him. She’s the best! Thank you Cindy!”
About: I’ve spent 25+ years caring for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Living on 17 acres gives plenty of space for safe walks, playtime, and exploring. Whether your pup loves fetch, your cat just wants cuddles, or your reptile needs special attention, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I work from home so I’m usually always around! With 3 kids here everyone pitches in so your pet will always have someone around to care for them! 17 acres for your pets to explore if they like being outdoors. A comfy home indoors for the less adventurous ones! Our house is clean and safe and welcoming to all sort of animals.
“Can not praise Derek and Jenn enough, they took care of our very nervous little Jack ( this little chap had a sad start in life and never really knew that humans can be ok) and they let him see how great people can be. Had daily pictures and updates, I never worried once whilst on our holiday, he looked more relaxed every day. Thank you both, I know we will be happy to have Jack stay next time we are away.”
“We were very glad that Laree and her family were able to provide boarding for our 12 year old Frenchton during Christmas time. Laree and her family were very friendly and took care of him very well. He felt comfortable right away. Laree sent us pictures daily while we were away and let us know how he was doing. She is very kind and gentle. We would not hesitate to book boarding time with Laree in the future. Thanks, Laree. We are very grateful.”
“Parker was hands-down one of the best dog watchers we have had the pleasure to meet. Our dog is older and Parker had no hesitations making sure she felt at home and had the right amount of activity and socialization. Would recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about animals. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and always try to give them the attention and care they deserve. Additionally, I have a prosthetic leg, which has made me more adaptable, patient, and attentive in everything I do. It’s taught me how to approach situations with care and awareness qualities that carry over into how I care for animals every day. I’m a Tennessee Tech student, and since I don’t have classes in the afternoons, I have a lot of availability to care for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and I like making sure pets stay active, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, fresh water, walks or bathroom breaks, and time to play. I also spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone while their owner is away.
“Salena was so great with my dogs. She sent photo updates and when I picked up the dogs, all of their belongings were cleaned/washed, packed up and easy to bring home. Salena gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were well taken care off, making our vacation a breeze! Thank you Salena!”
About: I am an RN, used to looking after folks since 1987, I have fostered for several dog rescues over the years also. My care and concern for dogs welfare is huge! I’m part time working so have plenty time to spend with the dogs. I have a large country homestead setting, with safe fenced in areas for play and exercise! My two dogs are used to playing with other dog friends - all under supervision, with crates for rest time, and separate areas for mealtimes in case of issues.
“Drew is THE BEST! I got lots of pics and I love that he fits in well with her other pets. I love that Walter is never home alone and how happy he is when he stays 10 out of 10 DO recommend ❤️”

I can’t thank Jessalyn enough! My dog tends to be shy, but he was comfortable with her upon the first meeting! She gave my baby so much love and attention, and made sure he got his daily walks in. It was such a relief knowing he was in great hands while I was gone. The photo updates were adorable, and I could tell he felt right at home! I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
