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.

Stephanie has to be one of the most trustworthy and genuine people I’ve ever met! We knew immediately that our Teddy was in good hands! We are grateful for the peace of mind! She took excellent care of him. And the pictures she provided showed him as relaxed and happy!

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. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being above all else. Throughout the day, between classes and assignments, I'm there to ensure your pets feel loved and attended to. From morning cuddles to evening adventures, I'm dedicated to creating memorable experiences and building a strong bond with your pets. With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion for your pets, ready to make every moment special. 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. While outdoor adventures may be off the table for our feline friends, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep them engaged and content. Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. 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.

Kristen was wonderful! She was patient and attentive to my pup. Normally I board my dog for work trips but he had a cough so I opted to have her come take care of him at home. This was entirely new for him and he took a minute to get used to her, and she was amazing working with him. She was diligent with his meds and feeding schedule. She communicated clearly and often. She tooks him for walks every day and posted pictures so I cough see my boy while I was away. I can't recommend her enough.

About: Hi! I’m Lyndsey and I was a veterinary technician for 4 years, but have been dog sitting full time for the past 3+ years. I also have my own licensed dog boarding business, and do Rover on the side when I have availability! My husband and I live in Athens,TN. We have about 5 acres of land fenced in. We love getting to meet all kinds of different dogs, and having them interact with my kids. I’m home pretty much all the time so I never have to crate unless they sleep in one at night. I have clients that have been returning since 2019. I have 2 little girls, and all the dogs I’ve watched have been great with them! During all of the stays for the dogs I watch I provide homemade treats, and toys to play with. I hope to watch your fur baby real soon! ❤️ So I’m available any weekend or weekday to dog sit your sweet fur babies! I will make sure they are in great hands! Look forward to meeting new clients! I’m able to administer any medications you may need for your fur baby! I’m currently home 24/7 unless I have doctor appts, or have to run a few errands. So your dog wouldn’t ever need to be crated unless you have them sleep in one at night. I can also admin meds if they require to have any during the day. I have a fenced in yard that wraps around my whole house, and also send pics throughout the day how they are doing. They have plenty of room to play as well.

I hired Paige to care for my cat while I was away for a few days and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly, communicated clearly and consistently, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat was well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!

About: No animal is too much for me! Snakes, rats, anything! I love any species of animal, and no animal is too hard for me to take care of! The rarer the better! Just give me the rundown of what your pet needs, and I can do it! No matter how nasty or scary! I can care for pets as much as you need! Obviously, I need to take care of my little kitty, Binx, but I will always find time for your pets as well! Any pet is as precious as my own to me! I care for my kitty, Binx, like he is my own son. He is spoiled, and everyone loves him! He is the kindest kitty and was raised to know what and what not to do. He's a smart little fella, and the way I raised him is definitely a huge factor in this.

About: One of my cats has separation anxiety and chronic health issues, so I know how hard it can be to travel while worrying about your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I have owned pets since I was a kid, and have also spent over a decade riding and caring for horses. I have experience administering medication to cats, and am meticulously observant about any behavioral changes. My husband and I own our own company, and I work from home full-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible. This also allows me to bring my work to your house and spend extra quality time with your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind while you travel. I have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, and I monitor pets closely for any behavioral changes. I also want your pet to have an enjoyable, stress-free experience - wether they need cuddles or play (and hopefully both!) I am happy to cater to their individual needs.
