“Anna was amazing!! We had a few situations arise that she was so gracious to adjust to meet the needs of our fur babies. I cannot recommend her enough and brag on the care and love she gave our dogs!”


About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years and absolutely love it. I jump at the chance when a friend or family asks me to take care of their pets! I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter where we got to play with the animals, learn about their behaviors, and clean up after them. My favorite thing to do is take them on walks or just simply hang out. I have lots of experience pet sitting and would love to take care of yours! I’m currently working part-time from home and have flexible hours during the week and weekend. I’d be happy to help out with your pet whenever you need. I have a family dog who I feed, take outside, and play with when I am back home. I am able to do the same for yours!
“Helena was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats! She was timely, kind, and great with following our care instructions! Our boys just took right to her! We were worried to leave them as our one cat needs medication daily, but Helena handled it with ease! We will definitely be booking with her again next time!”

“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”


About: I have 8 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. From playful puppies to senior dogs I provide safe, loving, and playful personalized care. I’m experiencing with feedings, walks, playtime and following each pet’s unique routine. Pet parents can count on me to send regular updates and cute photos of your pups! Lots of love and peace of mind while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible and can work around your pet’s routine to provide reliable, consistent care. I treat every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a fenced-in dog park within my apartment complex and another nearby for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their pet’s feeding, walking, potty, medication, and play schedules to keep things as familiar as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Leah has been amazing! I’ve needed someone to drop in on my dog while I’m at work but the days change every week—she has been flexible and attentive and given me plenty of updates and checked in off the clock about my dog after he wasn’t feeling well one day.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allison was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was away! From the start, she was communicative, friendly, and clearly cares deeply about animals. She followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept his water fresh, and even spent time playing with him (which he loved — she quickly figured out his favorite toys!). She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. It’s clear she treats pets like her own, and I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained. I’ll absolutely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.”

“Jessi is absolutely wonderful and took incredible care of our pack while we were away! We could tell from regular updates with adorable photos they were being well cared for and loved. It was such a relief knowing our fur babies were in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Jessi is the best, and we’ll definitely be booking them again. Highly recommend!”

“Tia was absolutely phenomenal with our two big babies! She was always on time for drop-ins, went above and beyond with the dogs, and communicated clearly and often. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Crystal was so great! She took care of my senior and handicap dogs so well and I knew they were receiving such great love and care. I really appreciated the pictures she sent every visit. I will keep those forever.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.
“Tate was super helpful looking after my pups! Great communication and plenty of pics showing me how excited they were for the company. Highly recommend and will book again! Thanks Tate!!!”


About: Hello! I am Stephanie, a neuroscience/pre-med/psychology student at UTK! With my education, I apply it to my job as your caretaker. For as long as I can remember, we have always had fur babies in our house from cats to dogs to lizards and frogs! I remember every single baby having a significant contribution to my personality and who I am now. My current best friend is my cat Sashi! Sashi is a kitty I found as a stray around town. I took her in and the rest is history! Each pet is unique with their own quirks, personalities, and conditions. Sashi has separation anxiety, and I couldn’t imagine leaving her alone for a long period of time. I understand what it means to understand, take care of, and appreciate our fluffy friends that are in our lives! I have experience pet sitting animals of all kinds from farm animals, to big, playful dogs, to small, shy cats. I have taken care of for extended periods of time dogs with medical conditions such as seizures, paralysis, partial blindness, and behavioral issues with other dogs. I care for animals of all ages and sizes! I am very knowledgeable with cats in their behavior, body language, and physical well-being. I am very physically fit to be able to run or walk fast and long (no, seriously I can run 5 miles under an 8 minute pace) and lift a heavy amount of weight. No matter the task, I will have no problem! Besides occasional obligations from school, I have plenty of time every day to play, exercise, love on, and feed your fur-babies! I am available multiple hours throughout the day and can stay home full time around my school schedule! I provide services from your home for your pets comfort. I can drive pets if necessary. I will follow strict instructions, clean any mess, and become best friends with your companion. I provide all services from your home and can stay as long as needed that work within schedule! I request information about temperament with humans and other animals, potty training, temperament with car, any special quirks, allergies, any past trauma that is relevant, allergies, leash aggression, and any at home rules for furniture.

“Mariah was incredible! Communicated well, made the dogs feel very loved, sent great updates and showed enthusiasm to care for our pups. Would recommend her to anyone that's looking for a sitter or drop in visits. One of the best”

“Izzy is amazing and I have no worries leaving my fur babies in her care. She is on-time and is great with communicating if she is going to be a few minutes late. On my last trip she even noticed I had messed up on my days that I booked her and she was able to accommodate the mistake. I’m so greatful to have found her to care for my babies when I’m away :)”

“Ms. Jordan has been wonderful! From the initial interview meeting to scheduled then cancelled visits, to the real thing - she's been very communicative. Our fur kids loved her visit, and I did too. We received updates and pics. We're grateful to have found her! I hate to recommend her though because that means she may be too bust and not able to come when we need her. ;-) I won't be selfish like that though. Thank you, Ms. Jordan.”

Stephanie was great, all my animals loved her- even my pit-bull mastiff who can be weird with people took to her right away. And I have a very shy cat who hides and comes out for no one, but she came out of hiding for Stephanie, which says a lot. I was able to enjoy my trip out of town and not worry about them. She sent updates and pictures and I hope to have her drop in again when I need it. She's very likable, has good energy, is trustworthy, and was on time every time. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with her caring for my cat. She stopped by to make sure my cat had plenty of food and fresh water, and she took the time to play with her and give her some attention. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was well looked after while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Kathleen has been the best looking after my puppy. She's always on time and goes the extra effort to send me updates with pics after each visit, which is greatly appreciated since it's helped document my puppy's growth. (She is a great photographer!) It's tough being away from my pup and to have someone I can trust to look after him...but Kathleen has been the best. Kathleen has made it so I don't have to worry. Worth it! Thank you, Kathleen. We are going to miss you!

I came home after a week away to healthy happy cats. Brooke followed cat care directions precisely, and spent time petting them. She sent daily pictures of both my cats along with text updates. This gave me Peace Of Mind during my vacation. She took booking on short notice, and scheduled an introductory meeting with the cats and me before I left. I could tell within a minute of meeting her that she’s good with cats and likes them. I’ll definitely ask for her first next time I travel.
