“Madison sent a couple of pictures each day. Marco was always active in the pictures which is important. Madison also left the house clean. Would have no problem with her watching Marco again or recommending her.”
“I am so happy that Ashley came to take care of our spoiled little babies. My dog Jack has the worst separation anxiety of any animal that I’ve ever known. He can’t be left alone, he will stress out so much, making himself sick and tearing up and house. Once he even chewed up the brass door knob. Ashley was absolutely wonderful with him, she was so patient and attentive to him. I thought our new Siamese kitten was going to worry her most but he was just playful and happy. All 3 of my animals were so well taken care of, if you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Ashley. I will use her again and I will recommend her to everyone that I know 🥰”
“Leona was fantastic, our pups were very well cared for and very content when we returned from our trip. She sent us pics while we were gone which was very reassuring and went the extra mile.”
“Danielle did a great job! Thunder seemed very content when we arrived home. Danielle did everything we asked of her, she was reliable and I didn't have to worry about Thunder while we were gone. We will use her again! Thank you, Danielle!”
“Nyah was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She stayed in our home and left everything in impeccable condition. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel back home was delayed by the airline. She spent extra time with Zuri so that we didn't have to worry about her as we were trying to figure out how to get home sooner. I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind, considerate and great with animals. Will definitely book with Nyah again.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for my entire life. I have worked in a veterinary office as a tech helper and feel comfortable with all cats and dogs. I currently work some second shifts on the weekend and have full availability throughout the week! I frequently have time on the weekends as well throughout the day and later in the night! I am available at all hours to check on your pets! I will care for pets in your home by ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for them. I will be certain to be cautious of runaway pets!
“Ren was absolutely amazing! Winter is a high maintenance doggo when it comes to walks, but she handled it flawlessly. No amount of words could express how wonderful she was! Definitely going to book again!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to communication. I provide regular updates, photos, and detailed notes after each visit or walk, so you always feel connected to your pet. My background also includes volunteer work at a local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience handling dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me to treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own. Reliability, compassion, and peace of mind—that’s what I bring to every visit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize creating a consistent and safe environment for every pet in my care, whether that means early morning walks, timely feedings, or engaging play sessions throughout the day. I incorporate time each day to monitor health, behavior, and comfort, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away. On a weekly basis, I plan for special outings, grooming (if needed), and ongoing communication with pet owners to provide updates and maintain trust. Caring for animals is more than a job—it’s a responsibility I take seriously, and I structure my schedule to reflect that commitment. I have a fenced in privacy fence back yard! As well as a temperature controlled garage if needed to separate! I have an extra crate if needed as well!
“This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a pet sitter for my senior cat, so I was very nervous about having a stranger in my home and how my fur baby would react. However, Jennifer eased my mind about the whole process. She was understanding and communicative, which was greatly appreciated. This was just an an overnight trip, but she will be taking care of him again soon when I'll be gone longer. It's such a relief to know I can get some R&R knowing that my pet and my home are in good hands. ?”
“Jaylyn did a great job. She came out to meet our dog and learn the ropes in advance, and she communicated well throughout our time away. Great people skills as well as pet skills.”
“Kattie was incredible! We had a last minute family emergency and she came to help. My dogs have absolutely loved her. I have several special needs dogs with meds needed. She was comfortable and great with administering them. We got daily pictures which helped out our minds at ease. If you need a great person that goes above and beyond for your pups this is your lady. Thanks again Kattie.”
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 with Tuesday and Wednesday off, and I'm free in the afternoon as well. I usually have availability to step away as needed. 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!
“Our old pup requires kindness and patience. This is the first time we have left him with a dog sitter in years since he got injured about 3.5 years ago. He has to be carried up and down the stairs to go out and go up to bed and he is 50 lbs. I never thought I would find the right person to help us so that we could go on a trip. Carson was exactly the person we needed. We got home and the whole zoo (old pup and 2 kittens) were all happy and the house was perfect. We are so grateful and immediately decided we could go on another last minute trip and have booked Carson again to house/pet sit. It is life changing for us to have someone we can trust that will really take care of our old guy and allow us to have some adventure time.”

Anna A.
“Hello! I've known Anna for a long time now, and I've always known that her dogs are very important to her. She was the one that taught me all I know about how to care for dogs (diet, exercise, training, etc.). Anna enjoys hiking with her dogs in her free time so I imagine she doesn't have a hard time keeping up with them! I think Anna would would make a very capable and responsible choice for anyone looking to have their dog friends cared for.”
