About: I've had a love for animals since I was a toddler. Growing up, I use to visit my grandparents place and play with their dogs. And even though I liked being around animals in general, dogs were always my favorite to be around. And then eventually, I started having dogs of my own and learned how to take care of them. At the moment, I'm currently working part-time but am always looking to pet sit for extra income. I'm available throughout most of the week for drop-in visits and occasional overnight house sitting throughout summer breaks and holidays. I always clean up after myself when in the company of other peoples homes. And while looking after your fur babies in your home, I will make sure to clean up after them as well. Another thing that's important for me when caring for your pets is knowing their needs. This is because I want to make sure while sitting that I'm caring for your pets in the absolute best way I can. That they will be loved and cared well for as if they were my own.

Leanne was the best sitter we could have asked for. Our travels plans got messed up and the pups had some medical issues pop up and she kept us so informed and the dogs taken care of. She absolutely went above and beyond for them, and made sure they got plenty of exercise as well!

She came at last minute request and made herself available for all week. My dog is finicky, so I'm not sure how much interaction they had besides throwing the ball a few times. I didn't get any photos thru the dtay, but she also knew I was at hospital with my mom. Overall , I would use her again in an emergency, but I'm trying to get my dog to be out of kennel completely

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.

About: I love animals of all kinds but I especially love dogs. I have been caring for dogs for 11 years. I've raised two dogs from puppies to senior citizens and they have since passed on. Three years ago I adopted a high energy boxer mix. I enjoy training dogs and doing activities like hikes, playing ball and swimming with them. I make sure my animals have adequate exercise, healthy food and lots of love. I am home most of the time and am able to take dogs out for potty breaks every 2 ours if needed or whenever they signal. I take dogs out for a short walk in the morning and then a longer walk once it cools off in the afternoon/evening. I continue the feeding schedule that the owner specifies and only feed dogs the food their owners bring with them. I keep dogs and cats and they can sit or sleep wherever they are most comfortable. I have dogs beds but they are welcome to sleep on the couch if they want. If the dog is fearful, I give them their only little area until they warm up to the situation.

Ethan was a great communicator. I adopted a rescue earlier this year who's very skittish with strangers. Ethan communicated behaviors and what he did, which was appropriate. Poor pups didn't get a walk because he wouldn't let Ethan put a leash on him. This dog has decided I'm his person and he's not taking chances! But he wasn't traumatized upon my return so I know Ethan's energy was a good match. My house is also under contract and Ethan was able to adapt to changing demands to accommodate.

We just recently moved to Knoxville and had been a little anxious about finding a new dog sitter. Courtney was such a great sitter to our two sweet pups while we were on vacation. We got a lot of picture and message updates throughout our trip. She also made sure the girls were cared for up until we got home when we were running behind due to traffic! We will definitely be hiring again in the future ☺️

Helena J. was very knowledgeable and friendly sitter! She has a lot of experience and sent lots of pictures and feedback during her stay while we were awaay. We did not ask her to clean-up afterwards but she even did a load of laundry for the linens used. Above and Beyond! Our house was just as we left it when we returned after a long day of travel...AND Our menagerie (2) basset's and (1) cat seemed very happy, like they didn't even miss us. That is all a fur baby parent can ask for!
