“Margo is fantastic. Very responsive to messages, and timely on her visits. Highly recommended. I will certainly be using her again in the future.”
“Olivia is so great with my dog. My dog is high energy and is so worn out after walking with Olivia. She goes crazy when she sees Olivia walking up the sidewalk to come walk her. My dog loves her!! I will hire Olivia again, no doubt!”
“Jordan was very professional, easy to communicate with, and right on time. I would definitely reccomend her and will be using her again in the future.”

“Emily was available last minute to help us out in a pinch. She took wonderful care of two dogs with very different needs — one being a three-legged senior!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with a Papillon and later a cat, and I spent many childhood days helping my grandma with pet-sitting visits. Since then, I’ve walked dogs, cleaned up accidents, and cared for pets in my home and others’. Pets seem to naturally gravitate toward me - my dad calls me a “pied piper” like my grandma. I’ve also lived with roommates’ cats and always stepped in to feed and care for them when needed (I even grabbed one before anything else during a fire evacuation). I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your space. I love playing, walking, cuddling, and making pets feel safe and loved. I show up when I say I will - and yes, I’m the friend who’s always early and carries snacks and Band-Aids. I’ll be as prepared for your furry children. I work remotely full-time. I am able to take care of your pets before and after work. With 24-48 hours of advanced notice, I am able to schedule a break during the day for a visit or walk. I’m always aware of where pets are when I’m entering and leaving homes. I grew up with a fenced in yard so I’ve always had the habit of making sure the fence was closed before letting our dog out. My dad drilled it into me that when walking dogs to make sure that I’m always on the outside and they’re farthest from any traffic. I will respect your space and follow any instructions that you provide.
About: I've been around dogs all my life. I take care of my friends' dogs regularly and have two Great Pyrenees dogs myself. I am comfortable with any breed. I am a local real estate agent so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can house sit and/or do drop ins on a regular basis. I make sure keep your pets on the same routine as they are use to make there times away from you as stress free as possible. I treat every one of my clients pets as if they were my own.
“Terri is reliable, follows instructions and caring. I felt confident leaving my pup in her care. Highly recommend her services!!!”
About: We are Brandon and Gracie, a happy outdoorsy animal loving couple. We have 3 dogs and 2 horses, and will probably expand on that sooner rather than later. Have been taking care of animals for many years and love meeting new animal friends. We used to do rover during the pandemic and put it on pause while moving around, but are settled here in Chattanooga and looking to pick it back up. Our priority is to make sure your doggo is safe and having a fun time by taking them on walks, lake, etc and playing with our pups. We have a fully fenced in backyard and a fenced front deck they can hang out around. Gracie works from home and will be available the whole time and I will be there after work during the week and free on weekends. Happy to talk on the phone or meet in person beforehand so you can get a chance to meet us and the pups and we can get to know your doggo better or even set up a schedule if you would like :) I work downtown during the day and Gracie works from home and is available 24/7 when you choose to board with us or require any drop in visits I have a fenced in yard and fenced front deck area. We have 3 dogs to keep your pup company and to play with them while they are here.
“Skylar has been a great blessing to us providing care to Honey and Lady. Easy to talk to and discuss caring plan. Lovely with pets and my dogs love her. Can't get any better in my opinion.”
“Justin might as well be a dog whisperer. Our pups love him and he incorporates his dog training knowledge while providing excellent care, including phenomenal photos. If he can wrangle our 160 lbs of 2 rowdy schnauzers (giant/standard), he can handle anything. 6 out of 5 stars.”

About: Hi, I’m Cat! Growing up in a family that always had pets, I developed a deep love and respect for animals from an early age. For nearly 14 wonderful years, I had the joy of caring for my own dog, who was a true member of my family. She has recently passed, and I've decided to offer my pet care services instead of getting another dog, allowing me to channel my love for animals into helping yours feel cared for and cherished. :) I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and patience. I have experience with anxious pups, leash training, administering medication, and creating a calm, nurturing environment for all kinds of pets. As someone who works from home and sets my own schedule, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your needs. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m here to help your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry family members! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. This flexibility allows me to prioritize the needs of the pets I care for, whether it's scheduling walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I enjoy incorporating outdoor time with dogs into my day, as it’s a great way to stay active and bring joy to both the pets and myself. Caring for animals has always been a rewarding part of my life, and I’m happy to make it a regular part of my routine. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and loved. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax and play along with access to fresh water, food, and any other comforts they’re accustomed to. I also provide lots of attention, affection, and enrichment to help them feel at ease. I have a balcony at my apartment and a dog park at my complex and am happy to take your dog down for a romp or walk if staying for doggy daycare. I also only care for one pet at a time in my home so you'll be ensured they will get all the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their routines as closely as possible to minimize stress. I ensure their needs are met, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply spending quality time with them. I treat their home with respect and provide regular updates to keep pet parents reassured. No matter where I care for them, my goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.
About: I’m conveniently located in downtown Chattanooga and spent the last 10 years walking my doodle, Tilly, all around town. She recently passed and I’m hoping to fill this void by caring for other people’s dogs until I’m ready for a dog of my own again. I was recently part of a company layoff so my schedule is flexible to say the least while I search for my next full time opportunity. Whatever you need I can likely make work. I’m an incredibly prompt and communicative person who will respect your wishes when I’m caring for and walking your dog. I’ll show the same attention and care for your dog as I showed for mine. I have a few questions I’ll cover during our first introduction to ensure that your dog is comfortable and the transition to a stranger watching and walking them is seamless and consistent with your handling of them.

He is a lover of all animals and a caring individual who always helps to take care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats (a shared responsibility in our family). He has dog-sat for one of his friends routinely when she goes out of town and she will not trust anyone else with Milo's care.

Caroline B.
“I have known Caroline for more than 10 years; she has cared for my doodle (and even my human kids, on occasion!) with love and respect. Caroline has experience with puppies and senior dogs, tiny and humongous dogs, lazy and rambunctious dogs, and at least one cat. 😊 When I need someone to stop by my house while I’m away, I want it to be Caroline. She’s responsive, attentive, punctual, 100% accountable, and trustworthy. And, as a bonus, she’s physically strong, so even a “puller” is no match with Caroline at the other end of the leash. Caroline is an animal lover who will spoil and exercise your fur babies, and communicate with you to put your mind at ease.”
Susannah P.Star Sitter
“Susannah watched my 15 year old papillon and 5 year old terrier mix over a long weekend during the summer. She took excellent care of them and really helped me feel at ease. My boys got to run around in a yard with Susannah’s own (well trained) dogs to tire them out, but had the opportunity to rest in an area on their own when needed. Everyone was happy and exhausted (in a good play kind of way) when I came to pick them up. I will absolutely be using her again, and trust her to keep my pups safe.”
