Mollie saved our thanksgiving. We decided last minute to travel for the holidays and she was great at communicating as well as handling our big dogs.

I really think my cat Jesse is in love with Mallie. When I got home after 8 days away, Jesse told me all about the great time he had with Mallie. They have been together three times in the past year and I am certain they will get to spend more time together in the future. Mallie brushed Jesse because his fur was shiny and soft. His water dish was clean and plenty of food was in his bowl when I returned. Great job Mallie!!

We are SO happy with the care Bekah took with our Hammond and the fish. She was always right on time and took the best pictures. Hamm’s hot spot acted up and Bekah treated the spot and it looks fine. Having a reliable, kind and professional pet sitter means the world to us and Bekah is the BEST.

About: I've always had a cat. I've helped care for kitties through every life stage, and would take family and friends dog-walking or sitting gigs whenever I could. Building a rapport with an animal and earning their trust is something I take great pride in! I'm currently working afternoon shifts at a restaurant, typically anywhere from 12pm - 8pm. While my schedule varies, I can spend plenty of quality time with them and come and go straight from work to make sure they get as much attention as possible. Please reach out to let me know your situation - I'd love to work something out! My flexible schedule means house-sitting is totally up my alley! I'm happy to spend as much one-on-one time as needed, with lots of outdoor playtime/walks and an attentive presence inside to make sure they have everything they need. Anything you are / are not comfortable with I am happy to accommodate.

About: Being a past owner of a beautiful border collie mix (the pup in my profile) my skills for high energy dogs and keeping up with their schedules became a necessary skill. I love animals in general, but dogs have captivated my heart. I do well with timid, aggressive, and let's be honest stubborn dogs. I love being outside and walking around town with an adorable dog on my side. This is so I can get some puppy love back in my life and help you with spoiling and exercising your fur baby when your schedules get a little busy. I'm looking to get more experience caring for others' animals to maybe someday extend just a service into an actual business. I want your animal to be treated on the same level as you would be treated checking and staying at a hotel. I know how important an animal is to a house hold, and how as much as we would love to stay and play all day life calls. Let me keep your mind at ease when it comes to your 4 legged family member. I am a Stay at Home Mom. I am up before the sun and find myself finding places to walk with my little one. Somedays we go adventuring with our German Shepard or just enjoy playing with him in our backyard. Weekends we spend in town with our family. Not many days where we are not too far from Madison or Huntsville. I have two cats and a German Shepard so coming to your pets' comfort place is the best means of me taking care of your animals.

Karli took excellent care of our two dogs! We loved getting pictures of them during each visit. I sprained my wrist and she even opened an extra can of dog food and left it in the fridge for me since I had mentioned having trouble opening the cans. I've already booked her for a couple more drop in visits!

About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time 5 days a week, 8-10 hour shifts, so I have to schedule around that. The rest of my day will be dedicated to your pet(s)! I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!

I hope and pray to be able to meet your little or big angel because that is what a pet is an ANGEL and a beloved family member. please enjoy your day! it is my life. i do this for my job, but i do love all animals so i am more than happy to do this. im very patient and willing to just let them get to know me. i follow things to a tee that way your pet gets the care it needs

I have a cat with Megaesophagus that requires complicated hour-long feedings. The purpose of this meeting was to go through the process and see if it was something she even wanted to tackle (she did as she likes learning new things and had already looked up information about the condition) Things did not go perfect because I was talking a lot explaining details, there were two people in the room switching out, and Murray is not very sociable to begin with. I believe it will go better if she is by herself. Because of her attitude, patience, and my unsociable cats didn't run and actually interacted with her immediately, I will trust her to do a feeding in the future (and that is not a decision I take lightly.)

About: I am a CMA, and have worked in 4 vets offices over the years. I can give medication (oral, topicals or shots). I have been a groomer for 9ish years (traveling to homes and in grooming shops). I also come packing a huge heart ready to love whatever babies you have. I have cared for them all and really to care for yours!💜 I recently had surgery in March but have been cleared for work. I am a mobile groomer for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Working with vets/in hospitals, I have learned the best way to keep your animals safe and happy is to stay in their own home. Cars and new environments can cause a lot of stress or anxiety. Drop in visits and house sitting keeps your pet in a safe and comfortable place without the exposure to others or their pets.

About: I have always had pets growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from owning my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. My husband works nights and I work days so there is always someone home to make sure your fur baby is taken care of and loved on! Our residence features ample space in the garage, and a spacious fenced-in backyard. As pet owners ourselves, with two golden doodles and a cat, we understand the stress associated with leaving them behind. Consequently, we would provide a nurturing environment, treating boarded pets like our own, with generous playtime outside of their kennels and the attention and affection they are accustomed to receiving at home. ❤️

Mollie is a sitter we’ll continue to use for years to come. She is wonderful—diligent, caring, and genuinely loving with our pets. Every time my wife and I leave the house, we feel completely at ease knowing Mollie is taking such great care of them.
