Dog Sitting in Cookeville

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.

“Larissa not only responded right away to all my messages, but she did such a great job with my 2 dogs. She was always on time and sent pictures every visit. I would highly recommend her for any petsitting needs and will definitely use her services anytime we go out of town!”

About: I have had a love for animals ever since I can remember! Throughout high school I worked for a well known vet clinic learning the ins and outs. After high school I began working in pet boarding facilities where I learned how to administer medicine to dogs and cats, stick to multiple feeding schedules, learn about multiple pet behaviors and much more. Pets bring me so much happiness in this world and I love nothing more than to be around them. I am currently self employed and a part time online college student. This allows me to have an open schedule and plenty of free time to love on your fur babies! ***IMPORTANT*** HOUSE SITTING: I do not stay in homes overnight. House sitting consists of multiple trips to your home. Typically every 4 hours with around an hour to an hour and a half of play time, cuddles and walks within the drop in visits. I do not like to stay gone for too long however the need for every 4 hours is due to the needs of my other business and fur baby. We can always discuss needs further to make sure I can meet your expectations. I am still pretty flexible! If your pet requires a full day of consistent care there will be an additional charge. The first two hours of the stay would be covered under my base rate and thereafter would be an additional charge which can be discussed. This can be discussed after knowing the needs and what your expectations would be. I try to be as accommodating as possible. :) House sitting visits will include plenty of attention, walks, play time, feedings, watering plants if needed, bringing in mail and other small things similar. DROP IN VISITS: This is typically the need for just one visit a day such as if you're gone from home for a long work day or if you have cats that just need checked on once a day. If multiple visits are needed, it may be best to choose the house sitting option. A drop in visit will include walks, play time, treats and feedings if needed I treat everybody's pet as if they were my own. I will always create a clean and safe space for them. I believe that for most of us, our fur babies are more like our children. So providing the best possible care is important for me.

“Kennedi is so kind and took great care of our cat, Sushi! She helped us tremendously while we were away! We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her.”

I currently am a proud dad to three rescue babies who are my whole world. Being a dog and cat dad to three wonderful babies, my time is usually spent temding to their needs. I am a daily visitor to the dog parks in our area and am always looking for new friends for my babies. I cannot care for anymore animals in my apartment but would love to visit your babies at their home where I am sure they would be more comfortable. With your permission i wouldnt mind bringing them to the park or on hikes.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My husband and I currently have two loving pups (A Cairn terrier and Blue Heeler mix), who love to socialize . I have dog sitted all types of breeds for my friends and family over the years. I work a full time job Monday to Friday, and I have open availability on most weekends. During the week, I am free in the mornings until 7:30 and in the afternoons I am available after 5:00 We have a fenced in yard that we keep well maintained. I provide dog walking, petcare visitation, and overnight boarding. I have experience with high needs dogs and treat all dogs as if they were my own.

About: I love animals. I currently have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 10 chickens. I only stay with my chickens, since I recently moved out of my mom’s house, and I really miss my dogs and cat. I would love to give the same love that I have to some pets! I have all the land, experience , and resources that any pet could need! I am usually very flexible and can make time, but I work everyday usually from 9-5 depending on the day. I sometimes travel during the weekends as well. I have open land and a fenced land. I also don’t live close to anyone. I’ll play, comfort, and make sure to always have an eye on them.

About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

About: I’ve been a dog trainer for over 2 years, I have worked in the dog day care/ boarding industry, a kennel tech for a vet clinic, farm sitting, and I have owned dogs throughout my life.

I have a very friendly pup at home to help others feel welcomed. All dogs are supervised at all times during the day. No dogs are unattended!
