About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.
About: Hi! I love all kinds of different animals, and have a fair few myself. I have 3 dogs and 4 cats. Two of the dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs, and one is strictly outdoor because she doesn't like cats. I have experience with all different sizes and life stages of dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have 10+ acres of land. I do have a part time job as a bather/preper for a groomer in Baxter, TN. But that only takes up a few hours of my day, not giving a lot of time with furbabies other than my own. I look forward to taking care of your pets in whatever way you may need. I'm currently working part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to take care of your furbabies! I'm free every weekend and weekdays after 2pm. Let me help you by taking a little work and worry off your shoulders. I have 10+ acres ready for some exploring! I also have some outdoor toys to entertain the playful babies. I have two playful pups that are always down for company, and one that loves to laze around and sun bathe. I can crate your pet if needed.
“My dogs (one of whom is usually very anxious) seemed to instantly like Danielle, which is always such a relief when I leave them with a sitter. My house was clean and tidy when I returned, and my pooches were securely locked up in their crates and calm. Thankyou!”
“Carolyne took great care of our fur babies while we were gone. We have a pretty complicated pet care routine because we have a dog, a cat and a bunny, all of whom require different types of care. It was great knowing that they were in the care of someone who had so much experience and expertise as both a pet sitter and a veterinary tech. It was also very apparent how much she loves animals and caring for them.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life.

Audra M.
“Audra M. is very knowledgeable about animals, especially dogs. She takes very good care of Hannibal. He is older and she is patient with him, even when she has to feed him from her hand to entice him to eat. He is a picky eater and sometimes stubborn. I can highly recommend Audra.”
Sheila M.
“Excellent care giver and our dogs took to her right away. We will use Shella again when ever we need a doggy sitter.”
Sarah B.
“Sarah was an absolute delight! Our fur babies loved her!”
Danielle K.

Keagan H.
“Keagan took excellent care of my babies, kept my home picked up, and was able to provide oral medication to my kitty! We were extremely grateful for her care!”
Baileigh S.
“Although Baileigh is my daughter, I can honestly say she is without a doubt a pet and animal lover. Our household has always kept pets what her it be dogs or cats and she has always took an active role in not only loving our pets but caring and tending to their needs. Even when they became mature and ready to pass, she had the most gentle and compassionate love for them. When she moved away for college she adopted a lovable mixed breed from the pound and has shown the utmost interest responsibility for it care and love. Even with a busy college life, she always took time to walk, play with and care deeply for Sissy and still continues to do so along with her two cats. I can think of no one better for the job!!”
Jessie N.
“Jess was amazing. She left my house tidy and provided lots of updates while I was out of town. I’ll definitely have her back to watch my doggies.”
Monique B.
“Monique has proven to be a wonderful asset to our family. Our Emma who is considered family even though she is a canine, has separation anxiety and requires a special person to make her feel at ease. Monique has that playful loving happy side that dogs need, as well as that observant side and pays attention to things that could be wrong. I believe dog owners can appreciate an attentive person that can recognize the extra that is needed for our canine families. I love the fact the Monique is a dog owner herself and can appreciate how we feel as a dog onwer. Needles to say we feel safe and comfortable when our Emma is in the care of Monique as she has proven to be responsible and driven.”
