Pet Sitting in Fork Mountain

“Soooo thankful for you Monica! Thanks for loving our fur babies today!”

About: I've raised, nurtured & loved long-lived dogs & cats my entire adult life. I've fostered dogs & cats for Humane Society affiliate in Kentucky, performed dog rescue transport & cared for my friends' pets. I am retired and home most of the time to pamper, love on & protect your fur baby in my home, drop-in at your pet's happy place and to take your fur ball for walks. I have a large, fenced & level back yard. 24/7 access is through a doggie door off the sunroom. I am a recent pet widow so your pet will have my full attention in my home.

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. I also dog-sit regularly for a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, gentle training, and giving each pet the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter and worked at a kennel, where I handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues, reactive dogs, and those with medical needs. I’ve supported everything from group playtime and walks to feeding, crate training, medication routines and managing multiple pets at once—including cats, rabbits, and birds! 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.

“Stephanie was great! She was reliable and communicative even through rough weather. It was such a relief because I had a bad experience earlier this year with a different sitter. I will absolutely hire Stephanie again.”

“Karen is the best! Not only does she take great care of Hobie with lots of pictures but she also was kind enough to take pictures of my chickens even though I didn’t ask her to take care of them. It just proves that she cares a lot about all animals!”

Caitlin P.

“Stephanie wow, she has such a beautiful energy, my puppy baby onyx fell in love with her instantly! Stephanie is kind, easygoing, hardworking, and very professional! I truly appreciate her excellent way of communicating and notifying me about her visits. So grateful.”

About: OVERVIEW: I work from home and love being able to give pets the consistent care and attention they deserve—whether that’s through boarding, house sitting, dog walking, or drop-in visits. I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years, including senior dogs with medical needs and dogs that benefit from extra training and enrichment. I have a 9-year-old Boxer named Alice, and we stay active with daily walks, playtime in our fenced yard, nature hikes, and lots of snuggles. I’d be happy to bring that same level of care, attention, and activity to your pet’s day—whether you're at work or away on vacation. In addition to general care, I also have experience with basic training and behavior support, and I’m happy to include enrichment activities or training reinforcement during our walks and drop-ins. SCHEDULE: Because I work from home, I’m able to be flexible with my schedule to meet your needs. Whether you need regular walks during the workweek, drop-in visits while you're at an event, or full-time care while you're traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate. ENVIRONMENT: I have a fenced backyard and a friendly resident dog to keep yours company if they enjoy socializing. I can also easily crate if needed or feed separately. There’s a nature trail and a quiet park just a block from my home that I use regularly for walks. I also have plenty of toys and treats available to keep your pup happy. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed—just like family.

About: With over 20 year’s experience with caring for many creatures, I value the connection pets have with their humans. I will treat your pet as one of the family with gracious care. As a graduate student, my schedule is flexible and I’m usually home when I’m not working in a lab. My daughter is a teen and available for backup help when I need her. We make a great team. I have a small fenced area at my townhouse and beyond that there is a wooded area with a creek. I allow my cats to roam but they never leave the wooded area. They are trained to come inside when I call them and I’ve even trained one to sit on command. They have access to a private room if a pet needs to stay overnight in my home. I never push boundaries and realize all creatures have their own personal bubble. I am an experienced walker and use positive coaching and encouragement for walks.

“Kim was amazing with my dog Phoenix! I needed a last minute weekend check in while I worked and she was super helpful. My dog can be unsure of strangers but Phoenix adored her! Highly recommend.”

“Wonderful experience from start to finish! Sarah was pleasant, prompt and kind enough to help us at such a short notice! Our dogs loved her. Can’t wait to get her help again in the future. A+++”

Jessica B.

“Talking Maddie was the best!!! Followed instructions to the letter, was always affectionate and professional with the the four dogs. I could not ask for a better dog tender will use her exclusively for any future needs for my babies. Do yourself a favor and use this sitter for your fur babies!”

About: My first ever job in high school was working for a doggy daycare, training, and grooming facility. This is where my love for animals of every kind bloomed, and i personally have a horse, two dogs, and a cat at my home away from college that I miss very much. At my knoxville home I adore taking my friend's dogs hiking and to the dog park to fulfill that itch of spending time with furry friends. I am a student doing rover part time during the summer and I volunteer at a hospital in town on Monday every week for two hours and an animal shelter with kitties for two hours every Thursday evening. I am very meticulous about maintaining the perfect care for my pets and yours. I understand how important these members of the family are, and I do very well when given a specific list. My love for the outdoors and hiking specifically complement the energetic pups, but I am just as happy to relax at home to study or read.

About: I am currently a dump truck driver and looking for some side work that I would enjoy! I love dogs/cats they are the best therapy lol. I have experience with big and small dogs and giving edible medication if needed. I used to volunteer for a rescue on adoption days in Chattanooga and helped rescue/foster some of the dogs. I would love to play with your dogs/Cats (if they like those kinds of things) taking them on walks in your neighborhood or if they like riding in the car to the park or even taking them to get a pup cup. I also want to help with anybody that needs help running errands or some little house clean up. I will bath your dog if needed! I’m available anytime after work or if it’s a rainy day I’m available if your dog needs checked on while your out of town or at work. I live in an apartment complex that is very grassy and have a cute dog park and lost of walking areas! I have a wonderful 1 year old spayed cat named maple!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, I currently have 4 dogs. 8 pound shih tzu, 25 pound lab mix (puppy), 55 pound boxer/texas heeler mix, and 80 pound lab mix. I mostly grew up around small dogs. Growing up my family had 3 yorkies, a Pomeranian, Maltese, and a chihuahua wiener dog mix. Smallest being 3 pounds and biggest being 10 pounds. I don’t ever do anything in the mornings or in the afternoon so dog walking, or dog/cat sitting or drop ins would be a great thing for me to do. I’ve done dog sitting before. I took care of 5 basset hounds for 5 days, 4 nights. I first met the parents and dogs and was given a run down of everything. Then when I got there for the overnight sits there was a printed off paper of everything I needed to know along with additional contact information. Those 5 days consisted of rinsing out water and giving new frequently, feeding at 8 am and 6pm along with giving one of the dogs meds at morning and night. Also picking up any poop that was on the back porch.

About: Hey there! I'm your go-to pet sitter with a decade of experience working with all kinds of furry friends. From dogs to cats, I've got you covered. Need medication administration? No problem! With my expertise, your pets are in safe hands. When I'm not caring for your adorable companions, you can find me enjoying the company of my own two dogs and three cats. And guess what? I've got a fantastic fenced-in yard perfect for playtime! Let's give your pets the love and care they deserve. I’m currently a student at the University of Tennessee so I am available most afternoons and very early mornings. I also am home every evening for the entire night so overnight boarding is available. I am also completely free on weekends so if you want to have a date night, a shopping run, or just need someone to watch your babies while you take a well deserved nap, I got you! At home pets will be taken care of by preference or directions from the pet owner. I have multiple rooms in the house so if there are some older pals or some friends that are just a little more introverted, they will be made to feel as comfortable as possible with some one on one time to avoid over stimulation. I can take them on walks or let them play in the yard alone with my supervision. For those fluffy balls of energy that need more stimulation, my dogs and cats LOVE to play and run to their hearts content! My dogs are very social and have their whole lives experience playing and meeting new animals! Whether it’s playtime and long walks or cuddles and naps I am able to cater to your pets needs so that you can sit back and relax worry free!

“Pamela is outstanding. We needed a quick solution for someone to take care of our koi fish. Pamela was quick to rise the challenge. Her care of them was outstanding!!! Will use her again if we the need arises”

About: Hi! My name is Beth! I absolutely love animals! My husband and I have four dogs and four cats that we care for. They are our babies! So, I know how important getting the best care for your fur babies is! I can walk, feed, play or just check in for a potty break if need be. I had an older dog that had to take medicine every day for cancer, sadly he has passed on. So I am also able to give medicine if that's what your baby needs. I am also available to check on cats. I work as a school photographer, so if you need pictures of your babies while I am caring for them I will be more than happy to provide that! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work a Monday through Friday job, usually until about 5pm. So I am available for drop-ins and walks, I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday, and then Monday through Friday in the evenings or really early mornings. I unfortunately cannot care for anymore in my home, especially since I have an over protective pit mix who is very jealous. However in the clients home, I am very respectful and a people pleaser. I will do exactly as directed to the very best of my ability.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Growing up, my family had both a dog and a cat who we cared for well into their senior years—my dog even battled cancer, and we gave her all the love and comfort she needed in her final days. As an adult, I adopted a 15-year-old blind cat who lived happily with me for two years before passing. I’m currently a proud pet mom to a playful 2-year-old Cane Corso that we raised from just 5 weeks old, and a sweet, anxious cat who’s made amazing progress in our home. I truly understand the needs of pets at all life stages and will care for yours like they’re my own. As a teacher taking time off this school year to focus on my gourmet cookie business and family, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and any specific care they need—whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just cuddles. I treat every home with respect and always aim to leave things just as I found them!

About: Dogs are not just animals but they have a soul! Your pet understand more then we do sometimes! They know when you mad or sad or hurt. They are so smart and you need someone to trust with your precious baby’s and they are not something to take lightly or trust anyone. Theses are kids and people’s loves. I’m here to give your pet(doggy) the love they miss when you’re gone. I work a basic job monday- friday 8-5 at the hospital. I crave for things to do when i’m off work or the weekend. I love to walk and why not have a baby join! I will love and care for your dog like it’s my own. Dos know when something is off and when someone is sad or mean and i promise they will love me.

About: I am a Veterinary Technician who is currently waiting to take his national certification exam to work in the state of Tennessee. I have been working in doggy daycares and vet clinics for the last eight (8) years and have loved every minute of it. I recently moved to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest and would like to continue to care for pets even though I’m not in a clinic yet. Even when I return to clinics I still plan to keep doing walks and home visits if for no better reason than to get out of my house everyday. I am currently unemployed and looking to start making money again and the best way to do so is on my own terms. I am free every day except for Sundays to do walks, house visits, or even house sit if needed. In my clients homes I make sure to follow all instructions given for pet care. I have a great deal of experience working with pets that need medications and special care after working in an Emergency Clinic, and I do my best to clean up and leave the home in the same state I received it.
