House Sitting in Decatur

“Wow is all I can say! We have only lived in Tennessee 2 years and work so much we haven’t met anyone we trusted with our boys so thought we’d try Rover for a trip to Florida to help my parents move. We were gone a full 7 days. Michael came to meet us and our boys a couple weeks prior to our trip and was very pleasant and professional. We have a pit and a frenchie that are a bit high maintenance. Every day he sent us pics and a note on how everyone was doing. Our home was spotless when we got back he even picked up the back yard and ran our vacuum. Our boys seemed happy and we couldn’t be happier owners! Michael really took a ton of stress off our shoulders and made it easy for us to be productive and have a good week away. Thank you so much!!!!!”

“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”

“To know Nutmeg was well taken care of brings comfort to us!! She had the house clean and also had done the sheets and towels that she used! We will definitely be using her again!!”

“Kailey is fantastic! She really cared about my kids and me for that matter! She washed and changed my sheets so I had a clean bed to crawl into when I got home. If you want someone who cares about your animals, Kailey's your girl!”

“We would highly recommend Jay! - Always arrived on time - gave medication on the right time - played with and walk the doggie - great communication and very considerate. After a previous the dog sitter cancel the day-of, Jay’s willingness to help and great communication were what we need to calm our minds and hearts - we were already on a cruise and our little girl was by herself. Our doggie is super picky about people (she ignores those she doesn’t care about and plays with those she likes), she is older dog with lots of special needs (medication and stuff). After Jay told me she was playing with her toys, that was such a relief for us, because right then we knew Jay was a good fit for our little Ginger. Details: we hired Jay for 5 days to dog sit for most of the day, as our doggie needs to go out a lot due to her medication and health issues. No accidents seemed had happened and Jay kept the house clean and organized.”

About: Hey there! Im on par with crazy dog lady at this point❤️ I'm dedicated to taking care of your pet(s) and making sure that they have everything they need and are safe. I have four of my own and I would adopt more if my husband would win the lottery and buy us a dog farm lol. I do not mix my dogs with your pets to ensure safety of all puppers! I will care for your pet(s) just like I would any of mine. I don't have children, I have fur babies :-) My house has a large fenced backyard with trees and is just like being in the woods. I will follow the instructions you leave for me, feed them at the times that you request, and dispense any medication as instructed. I am great with communication and will absolutely send you pictures and updates throughout the day because Id want them as well! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, so I will be able to check on the babies all day and play as needed. If I am coming to your home overnight, I will need access to wifi for work, that is mandatory. I would love to take care of and play with your furbabies; they’re family too. I have a fenced in backyard, but I can also leash walk your pets as needed. We also have a great nature trail within 5 minutes of my home for higher energy dogs.

About: I’ve grown up with pets. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. People know they can rely on me to give their pet the amazing treatment they deserve! As an online college student at UTK, I'm your ideal pet sitter, always available and ready for anything your furry friends need.

Choose me, and rest assured your pets will receive top-notch care and endless affection. When it comes to caring for both cats and dogs, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. While cats won't be venturing outdoors, I ensure they have a stimulating indoor environment with cozy spots, toys, and scratching posts to keep them happy and entertained. In my home, for our canine companions, leash walks are the name of the game to ensure their safety and enjoyment during outdoor excursions. Meanwhile, our feline friends have their own special corners where they can lounge and play to their heart's content. From playful pups to curious cats, I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities with open arms. Whether it's a solo adventure or a cozy cuddle session, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each furry friend, ensuring they feel loved and cherished.

So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands. With safety, trust, and a whole lot of love, I'm here to make every moment special for your furry family members, indoors and out.

“Charish was absolutely wonderful! She communicated consistently throughout the stay and took such great care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I also came home to a clean house, which was such an added bonus. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am available for walking, dog park visits, bathing them is optional, and I am open to any breed. I have always been great with pets, we have 3 of our own who are amazing with everyone and other animals. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely

“Wendy is excellent with my two dogs, is caring with my home, and keeps me well informed while I am way. I appreciate how responsive, accountable, and trustworthy she is. I recommend Wendy.”

“Delaney was fantastic! Was available sort of last-minute and took excellent care of the pets and the house. When I got home, I honestly couldn't tell anyone had even been here, but for the fact that the pets were happy and healthy. :-) She sent updates and pictures, and I never had a worry. I look forward to having her here again.”

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are very spoiled. I would love to meet your dog(s) and take some stress off of your day. Thank u! I am a part time college student going to class late on Tuesday and Thursday . I work from 9-5 on Wednesday and Friday and 9-3 on Saturday at a furniture store in Madisonville. I have plenty of down time all throughout the week. I will accommodate any needs that you have for your pet(s) in your home. I would love to take them out for walks or take them out to play and burn off some steam like I do for my own dogs.

“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. ​I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. ​ ​I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. ​ ​When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.

“Christian was incredibly friendly and communicative. He made sure to ask the right questions to ensure Ellie was being taken care of well.”

About: I am a Veterinary Assistant who cares dearly for all animals health and safety. I have cared for animals all my life but recently entered the Veterinary Field. I love all sizes and all breeds of dogs, their happiness is my goal. I am a full time Veterinary Assistant and am always learning in growing in my career. I am available to pet sit on weekends and holidays. I can ensure your pets safety by always observing and watching them and never leaving them outside alone. Making sure they get all the lovings they would want and be cared for the way you wish they would be cared for.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—paying attention to their personality, energy level, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m very patient and intuitive, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or going slow with a more anxious or senior dog. I also prioritize clear communication, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also a very active person and love long walks/runs. I’m currently employed full time, my hours are 7:30am-4:30pm Monday through Friday. I get an hour lunch everyday that will allow me to take your pup out, go for a walk, and/or just give cuddles. I’m free all days on Saturday and Sunday. I have a daughter who is 19 months old and lovesssss pups. If able, she would be with me on weekends but I understand some pets need more attention than others. My parents would be willing to watch her if your pet needs the extra care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care—while also giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure everything stays clean and organized. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and energy so I can adjust care to what they need, whether that’s more activity, patience, or just extra cuddles. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and in good hands.
