About: Hi, I’m Bella! I’m 23 years old and recently graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Now that I’m living in Knoxville full-time, I’m excited to spend more time doing something I truly love, caring for animals. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have a 10-year-old Lab/Blue Heeler mix named Ava and a 4-year-old cat named Pingly, and they both mean the world to me. I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feedings, playtime, medication administration, drop-in visits, or overnight care, whatever your pet needs to feel happy and comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care for every animal I meet. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet(s)! I’m also flexible with pricing when needed, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and I have a surplus of free time! I am able to stay overnight or do drop in’s whatever you need I can do it! I can do anything you need from me to take care of your pets! I will make sure your fur babies are happy and safe while under my care!

Was lucky to find Zo when I first moved to town and a few years later, I wouldn't want anyone else taking care of my fur baby. Completely reliable and trustworthy. Worthy of all the praise.

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life! My family had multiple pets at all times growing up. I am a cat mom myself with shared custody with my twin sister. I offer a pet stranger free home with my own cats staying with my sister while I have guest pets. 🐈 I first began pet sitting in college and primarily serviced young adults and college students. Thus, I have always offered an affordable rate so that regular people can obtain pet sitting services without having to pay expensive boarding fees. 🐶 Although I just started using Rover, I have been sitting for years through friends, family, and referrals! I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.

About: Specifically I understand the needs of French Bulldogs in certain weather conditions. I also understand other short legged friends that need accommodations and have restrictions such as jumping off furniture or when playing not throwing things too high. I run my own business but have a flexible schedule. I am also a grad student who is about to graduate and will open more time in my schedule. Currently I am available various times during the week with a lot of availability on the weekends. My pup has accommodations in every room of the house. I make sure he has the right food bowls for his breed (elevated and tilted). He also has a variety of toys and doggy door to go sunbathe or potty anytime of the day. I understand cleaning up after our furry friends and making sure they have exactly what they need.

About: I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats, but also bunnies, goats, and a dog. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, and worked in both veterinary clinics and grooming salons. I'm a licensed veterinary technician, which means I am very comfortable giving medications as needed, and may even be able to trim nails or bathe dogs with an additional helper. I have taken care of cats, dog, horses, goats, a tortoise, and a few small pocket pets. I am comfortable with most species, but have limited experience with pocket pets, reptiles and birds. I'm currently in the process of looking for a full-time job, so I have more time than usual to take care of your pet(s)! When I get the full-time job, I will be more limited to dog-walking and drop-in appointments, with more availability on the weekends and holidays. I currently live in an apartment building, so I plan to mostly do dog-walking or drop-in apartments. I have a cat currently at my apartment, who prefers dogs over cats, but may get along with a cat with a careful introduction (she tends to be too playful at times).

About: I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure they are comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your furry friend and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means they need to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for you and your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your animal. After all, they are more than that. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with them is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they, or you, prefer!

About: I work at an ER and specialty medicine clinic so have truly seen it all with dogs of all ages. I work primarily on an internal medicine team and often pick up ER shifts. I have finished my first year of veterinary school and will continue to my second year in the fall, so have all sorts of knowledge about your dog(s)! I grew up with dogs, and have worked as a dog sitter/caretaker for years. My roles have ranged from daily care to basic grooming. I worked as a dog walker for a summer as well, and assisted with grooming this dog in addition to overall basic care. Overall, these qualifications make me an excellent caretaker for your loved ones! I work 8 am-8 pm at a veterinary hospital Monday-Wednesday. Other than that, I got to church Sunday mornings. I’m free the rest of the time! I care for the pets in a client’s home with a holistic approach. I ask specific questions to make sure I understand the animal’s needs and routine before or upon arriving. I want to fit into the animal’s life as an asset to their wellbeing, not as a stressor working against it. I read or listen carefully to instruction to make sure I am well equipped to go above and beyond in loving your pets. They will be my first priority during the time they are in my care, rest assured.

About: Since I was a boy, I have lived and grown up with Mastiffs, a German Shepherd, Doberman, a Boxer, and Rottweilers. At 15 I began dog and cat sitting for people in my hometown, Soddy Daisy. Not only can I handle the physical demands of pet sitting, I enjoy it! Dogs and cats with special needs and have to be carried are no problem. I've cared for my neighbor's dog, Bandit, who suffers from trauma and anxiety, for several years. I'm a college student in my senior year, and as such I have classes through the week. I need to be on campus by 9am (8am on Wednesdays) and am typically done after 5pm. Nights and weekends are ideal! If you have an overnight obligation and need a pet sitter, then you're in the right place. I've lived with dogs since I was born. My mother is a certified pet trainer, and I learned to take the time and energy training our dogs with a compassionate hand. Each of the pets I've had possessed unique personalities, so I know some adaptation is needed at all times. In your home, my job as a pet sitter is to stand by your established rules, making sure your pet knows I follow the same rules they do.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little but now I have the medical experience to back me up as I am finishing veterinary school. Who else would you want to take care of your pets while you are away? I am available M-S. It just depends. We can work out the details which we can do one on one to see how many times a day and how long of a duration. As a veterinary student, animal safety and well-being are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and clean environment. I closely follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, medication, and routines, and I’m comfortable recognizing and responding to signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and aim to keep pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routines. In my own home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed, with no access to harmful items or unsafe areas. I always supervise interactions between animals and monitor behavior closely. With my background in veterinary medicine, I bring an extra layer of knowledge and awareness to ensure every pet is safe, healthy, and happy under my care.
