“Our pup loves Skylar and all her scratchies and floor time! She took such great care of him and even did more walks than we typically do- so he was in heaven! The house was also in great shape when we got home! Would definitely book her again if she was staying in the Knoxville area!”
“Joy was amazing! She took phenomenal care of three dogs. They were walked multiple times a day and given lots of snuggles. I’m so excited to find someone so trustworthy to love on my pups while I’m away. Will definitely be booking her again!”


About: I have always had a deep love for all animals but especially dogs and cats! I’ve had a dog (beagle mix) for 12 years and a cat for 5. I often pet sit for friends and family when they’re out of town which includes feeding, walking, playing, and making sure their animals feel as comfortable as possible while their person is away from home. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is active or naps all day, I will treat them like my own and make sure they get all the love and care they need! Additionally- I understand how important communication is (I’m a Communication major!) and will keep you updated with lots of pictures and videos!

I also make sure to provide consistent updates (pictures and videos) of your pet while your away to ensure your loved one is well taken care of!
“Angela stepped in to house sit for us with relatively short notice and did a wonderful job with our dog and cat. In addition to taking our dog to school and back, she even gave us an extra drop in when we hit some major delays coming back! Highly recommend!!”

“Leah’s communication was great! My animals seem to really love her. She seems very conscientious and certainly reliable. We will use her again and highly recommend her.”

“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 ☺️”

“Abby was excellent with our pups, sent us pictures throughout the week which always helps me so much when I am away from my dogs. We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Which is a plus for me. We will definitely use Abby again when we need a dog/house sitter. We were very pleased.”


“Catherine was wonderful! It was such a last minute booking, but she responded so quickly. It was a genuine relief to have her come and look after my dog and cat on such short notice. Both my dog and cat are of geriatric age and have differing needs with both having different medical conditions. She listened to our concerns and took our pet care instructions seriously. She comforted my dog who has severe separation anxiety and somehow managed to persuade my cat with princess-like standards to eat her entire can of cat food. Throughout the night, she responded quickly and sent pictures and updates. I would definitely book with her again the next time I am traveling with my pets in the Knoxville or Gatlinburg region.”

“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!”

“Helena took great care of my dog and gave her lots of love! She went above and beyond giving her walks and playing with her while we were gone, and took good care of the house too. Would book her again!”

“Taylor did an amazing job with my big babies. He was very responsible and kept me informed daily. I felt like he loved my pups so well, they barely missed me. lol I will definitely use him again.”

“Tate was great with our dogs - and our dogs can be a handful! He was also communicative and shared photos frequently. We would definitely rebook in the future.”


“Ian was SO incredibly kind. I have a Great Dane that is very needy & also very emotional. Ian made him feel like nothing changed when we left. Also the house looked like we never left when we returned. I cannot recommend him enough!!”

We couldn’t be happier with the care our two high-energy dogs received! They require a lot of exercise, attention, and patience, and it was clear they were in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and pleasantly tired—a true sign they got plenty of playtime and love. It’s such a relief to have someone we can completely trust with our pups. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!

Taylor was SO incredible in caring for our house and our five kitties. Always sending pictures, and video, and he left the whole looking like new. We have a blind kitty who needs meds every day and a little extra attention, and Taylor did SUCH a good job playing with her, and making sure she was in tip top shape. I will GLADLY call upon Taylor again in the future for our house sitting needs, and you should too!
Literally the best! I recently moved to Knoxville and brought a very anxious pup with me. I was really worried about leaving him while I had to travel for a weekend (especially on 4th of July weekend, he’s terrified of fireworks). Anna went above and beyond to reassure me of his wellbeing and sent a plethora of pictures! She also watched my cat too (she is pretty self sufficient hehe) and Anna even made sure to send pictures of her as well! Will definitely be booking again very soon!

Helena is just the best! This was the first time leaving my little fellow since moving and I could not have asked for a better experience! Receiving updates, pictures, and videos daily helped so much! When I got home, he was doing good and the house was clean, sheets washed, and straightened. I will definitely be using Helena!

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.

My little man Max is not an easy job. Megan rose to the challenge and did what was necessary to calm him. He is not one to easily take meds. Megan was able to get it done. We will use Megan again. Thank you Megan for taking the extra time to take care of him. Inky the cat is happy too.
