Dog Sitting in Farragut

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. Some breeds that I’ve worked with include Pit Bulls, Border Collies, a Great Pyrenees, Pomeranians, Boston Terriers, German Shepherds, a Belgian Malinois, Huskies, and more! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

“Emma was a lifesaver for us! We have 4 dogs - 1 who is very senior and needs a little extra care and attention. Emma was very communicative and let me know everything that was going on. I was anxious to leave them and Emma made me feel so comfortable. We will definitely book her again for future trips away!”

About: My family has grown up with dogs but I’ve also had experience caring for cats. I also own a horse and very well versed in animal behaviors and caring for animals. I treat animal like it’s my own including love, snuggles, and providing whatever care they need. I’m looking to provide affordable options for individuals or families who want what’s best for their animal! I work remotely and my job is flexible. I am able to take my job with me so I am open to taking jobs that require longer stays, as long as you are okay with me working in the home. I am a very respectful individual and will only go in the areas you give permission too. Your home will be treated how I would want my own home treated.

About: I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—one full of energy and the other a total couch potato—so I’m used to handling different personalities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I’m currently studying online for my real estate license, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else—that’s why I prioritize communication and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your pet may have.

About: I have lived with/cared for dogs my entire life, and though I would consider myself a “dog-person” - I love spending time with all animals! I work from home so I have tons of flexibility for daily drop-ins, walks, and boarding needs. I have an almost-3 year old dog at home that I take on multiple daily walks, as well as a fenced in backyard, and she loves hanging out with new friends! I have been fostering for the last year, so have welcomed many different temperaments into our home and have gained experience in administering medication and dealing with high stress/anxiety animals, and can read body language extremely well. I can accommodate many different needs for any pet - senior dogs and puppies are welcomed. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to meet and hang out with your beloved pets! I work from home, so pups staying with us are rarely left alone except for maybe an hour or so if I need to run errands or have plans. Would prefer all boarding animals to be crate trained, just in case of emergencies. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who loves making new friends! I live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of streets to walk and get energy out - and can also offer training, if interested, for mental stimulation as well.

About: I have taken care of dogs/cats for family and friends ever since I was 10. I adopted the sweetest pitty 2 years ago, she is great with all other animals and loves to have playdates! I am very reliable when it comes to going on walks or making a trip to the bark park! I am currently a full time graduate student. I have plenty of time in the afternoons on weekdays, and all day on the weekends to spend time with your furry friends! I am available to take care of your furry friends at home, and will maintain a healthy and safe environment for you and your pets!

“Lauren is a true dog-lover and it shows. She was in close contact with me the whole time and sent sweet pictures of my furbaby. Very pleased; will book again.”

About: Vacations shouldn't just be for the pet parents, the pets should get a new fun experience too. This is why I strive to keep in step with your pet's routines whilst also adding some fun enrichment, ample physical activities, and extra helpings of love and attention. In addition to walks; if your dog is a social butterfly, like me, and they frequent the dog parks; let's go! I have a vehicle built for pet field trips/adventures! I have a gift for helping injured or sick animals recover as well , I just haven't had the opportunity to care for a special needs dog yet. That being said, I am willing to learn and follow your routines for them. I am very dedicated to learning more pet care skills. I even rehabbed an injured squirrel for about a year until she returned to the wild. So, I am skilled in helping pets that may need extra help/care or medical issues that require a little more attention. I am also a Licensed Massage and Cupping Therapist, though I am not certified specifically in pet massage, when I do give a dog a massage....They LOVE it! I am also willing to care for pets other than dogs or cats; within reason of course....not sure I am equipped for Lions, Tigers, or Bears... OH MY! So, reach out let's set up a meet & greet; I would love to come out and meet you and your pets to see if we are a good fit! I have most days free. I occasionally do some pick-up work on some nights here and there, however, it would not be for a great deal of hours, and I am able to get home (or to your pets) at a decent time on those evenings. I do prefer to meet both you and your pets first, before taking on a care request, to assess safety for myself and the pet as well as understanding their surroundings. This allows me and you to evaluate if we are a good fit. I believe this is the first step in creating a solid foundation for a safe and fun experience for all involved. Especially, until your pet(s) and I get to know each other better, I would say I am hypervigilant in the beginning; not just for safety precautions but also to understand their routines, needs, communication styles, learning styles, training levels, etc... I am at their side anytime we go out. Even if you have a fenced in backyard I will either be out there playing with them and helping them get in some physical activity or I watch them closely from a window or door. As we learn more about each other, I take great care in developing solid communication with your pet so that they can understand and respond well. The more "simpatíca" we are, the more trust is built, the better responds to commands, which in turn strengthen that foundation of safety. Beyond the pet safety, If I am house sitting for you, I strive to keep your home safe and clean. I will respect and protect your home as if it were mine. Even If I am not house sitting and only doing drop-ins or walks. I will stay observant and keep your home safe as well; let you know if anything seems amiss, grab your mail so no one knows you aren't at home, rotate which rooms lights are on in your house, etc... A safe environment means a safe pet! I am also good at communicating with the pet parents throughout my booked care time via pictures, videos, texts, and calls. My goal is to make sure no pet parents even have to wonder how their pet is doing. I prefer to keep you in the loop so it's not you having to reach out to me. Communication is key for creating the safest most comfortable environment for any pet.

About: I love animals, of course! I grew up with 2 to 3 dogs in the home at all times and I now have my own two. I understand the need for last minute arrangements for your babies. I really enjoying directly helping my community while also giving my girls new friends :) I have a great time when dropping in for quick visits too, making sure to get out some energy before I head out again. BOARDING: When hosting your dogs, I want them to feel so comfortable and at home. In order for this, I need to be able to let them in the bed, on the couch, and under the blankets without them leaving a residue or a smell. I know dogs aren’t the cleanest but there is a point where if I cannot pet them without residue being left on my hands, I will bathe them myself and it will be added to your total at the end of boarding. I do NOT expect a freshly bathed dog, but I do expect to be able to tell that they regularly receive baths. If you have any questions about this at all please feel free to message me! I have no intentions of charging all willy-nilly, but I do need something in place to avoid excessively dirty animals being dropped off. I aim to keep my home comfortable, clean, and welcoming for all new pets :) I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your babies! As of right now I work from 10 am to 5 pm. I’m always refilling the water. I have well cleared areas for playing, as to help the pups avoid hitting anything. I have lots of toys, both inside and outside ones. And when it is warm or cool enough, I like to leave the back door open for them to come in and out as they please.

“Lilly made special efforts to ensure my dog was cared for, and gave updates each visit. She and my dog Mango got along great!”

About: I have a Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand people like their babies to be taken care of a certain way and I will strive to do what’s asked of me. I do work full time 9-5, but tell me what you need and I’ll see what I can do to make you feel as comfortable as possible when leaving your pet in my care. My own dog, Luna - very sweet and submissive, is aware of her perimeters at home but I do have a lot of space to walk your babies, leashed or unleashed, depending on the dog. I have cameras in my home so I can see her at all times. We do go to the dog park to play/run two or three times a week. I’ll treat your babies just as I do my own.

About: I've always had animals in the house ever since I can remember. With my dogs, I love to give them a happy life by playing and cuddling with them. I love dogs and feel grateful to be a part of their life even if for a short time. I’m a full time student and I work a part-time job. I usually have free time during the days to walk/play with your pets. I can also stay overnight for short or long-term periods. I love all animals! When I take care of other people's pets, I try to connect with them and establish some kind of trust. I also try to play with the animals as much as possible to get all of their energy out. I love cuddling and loving on animals as long as they feel the same way! I also love to take pictures of animals (cute or funny) and would be happy to send you the most adorable pictures to make it through your time without them!!

About: I have taken care of friends and neighbors animals since I was little. I want both the owners and their pets to feel safe. It important for the owners to know their animals are going to be well taken care of. I have taken care of dogs who need medications and more hands on care. Any animal I come across I show them love and care as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible so I’m available for your pets needs. Currently my schedule is very flexible at this time. This provides all the time your pets needs to play and get the attention they deserve. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I want to create an environment where your pet feels comfortable and safe while providing the best care.

“Derri took such great care of our pets!”

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m an animal lover with tons of experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet is playful, shy, cuddly, or sassy, I treat every animal like part of the family—because that’s exactly what they are. I'm reliable, compassionate, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved while you're away. Walks, playtime, feeding, snuggles—you name it, I’m all in. I’ll keep you updated with cute photos and messages so you never feel too far from your furry friends! I do have a part-time job with shifts lasting 5–6 hours during the day or night. Despite my work schedule, I ensure your pet receives care 2–3 times daily, adjusting visits around my shifts. Additionally, I am mostly free on weekends, allowing for more dedicated time with your furry friends. In your home, I’ll make sure your pets feel happy and cared for by taking them on walks, letting them out for potty breaks, refilling their food and water, and keeping them entertained with toys or treats while you're away. I always lock up after each visit—your home’s security is as important to me as your pet’s comfort.

“Rachel was great! Sent pictures and kept good communication with me!”

“Kate was fantastic! She responded to messages promptly, followed some of our more complex instructions to a T and made us very comfortable being away from our two cats. Will definitely consider her care again!”

“Kennedy has been a huge help to us on multiple occasions. Our dogs adore her! We are so grateful to have someone we know we can count on to take care of our pets for us while we’re away.”
