“Teresa is the best! She took the best care of our pups and was great about sending updates letting us know how everything was going. She cares about your pets just like they are her own, and our dogs loved her! We would absolutely recommend Teresa for any of your pet sitting needs!”


“Sweet Betty!! She is amazing!! She sends lots of pictures and photos!! She spent the nights at our house while we were gone! We came back, and all the animals were happy and healthy!! Our house was also clean when we got home (just as we left it)! We will definitely use her again!!”


“Karen did a great job and our boy was very happy. Our home was clean and all was good I was a nervous per Mom as we had not left our puppy with many people yet. Karen did a wonderful job and we are all very happy.”


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.

“Kim was very good with communicating and being very detail oriented with Bob’s routine. Bob enjoyed his weekend and so did I knowing that he was well taken care of! I will definitely book with Kim again!”


“Hannah was excellent! I highly recommend her. She took great care of our dog who needed a lot of TLC as she has separation anxiety issues. Hannah gave us regular updates and gained Daisy’s trust. We will definitely request her again.”


About: Hi, I’m Monica! I live in Oak Ridge and absolutely love meeting new pets of all breeds and personalities. I’ve cared for up to six dogs at once and have experience with a variety of breeds including Chows, Boxers, Labradors, Great Danes, and Labradoodles. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime in the yard, or little adventures, I make sure your pet stays happy, active, and loved. I’m also experienced with medication schedules and special care needs—one dog I watched had thyroid issues and needed medication at the same time every day, so I know how important consistency is for their health and comfort. I work from home, which means I’m super flexible and able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work from home so I can be super flexible, especially if your dog needs medication at a certain time of the day or week. I care for pets in their home by following their regular routine, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and keeping their space clean and safe. I make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. At this time, I am not offering pet care in my own home.

“Kiersten is an accomplished young woman with a gift caring for animals. I have a skittish rescue cat who thrived under Kiersten's care. I would have her take care of Scooter again and highly recommend her to others”


“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”


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.

“Absolutely loved having Caterina take care of our Teddy while we were away for the holiday weekend! From the start, she was super easy to communicate with—she made sure to touch base before, during, and after her stay, which really put us at ease. We especially appreciated that she stayed overnight with Teddy; knowing he had company made all the difference. The photos and updates she sent were the best part—it was so comforting to see him happy and well taken care of. He was clearly in great hands, being spoiled with love and attention in our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be reaching out to Caterina again next time we’re away! Highly recommend!”


“Stephanie knows her stuff. She had experience and was very comfortable giving one of our diabetic cats twice daily injections and special food. She stayed at the house to take care of our cats - including an outside, barn cat. She was so knowledgeable and had a way of reassuring me that she knew what she was doing that made me feel safe and at ease to leave our cats in her hands. She sent us photos of our cats (some of them camped out on her lap :) One of the things that I loved most is she asked me a question while we were gone. Most other sitters must have just assumed what to do, which may not have been correct. I am so thankful that Stephanie asked me instead of just assuming. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!!”


“Cheryl was amazing! She spoiled our 100 lb German shepherd and gave us lots of updates. We returned home to a super clean home and everything taken care of. Can’t wait to book Cheryl again, I think our dog had a better vacation than we did lol!”


“Haleigh was our first experience with Rover and we could not be happier! She supplied amazing updates of our kiddos along with unprompted pictures! Really made us feel at ease! Could not recommend her more! We hope in the future we can use her again!”


About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.

(Unfortunately, Molly passed away last year.) Later on, while I was in middle school, we got amazing family cat, Zuzu. We used to take care of goats. (Tons of babies!) I would sometime going to neighbor and take care of their horses. I always took the offer to take care of dogs for neighbor while they are on vacation. I love to meet new animals everyday.

If you have a brush for dogs or cats, I would be happy to groom them as well. I will ensure they are okay and immediately let you know if anything seems wrong. I am attentive to their behavior, noticing if they need space or are hungry, and I will give them a calm, safe environment if they are nervous or uncomfortable around strangers.

“Emily was very prompt with answering any messages I sent. I was not worried while away and honestly the minimal correspondence kept my mind off of them where usually I worry more but I knew they were fine and she just picked up where we left off then when we got back it was as if we hadn't left and everything here was great! I could tell my babies were happy to see us but also that they were happy anyway, b4 they knew it was us that came in😊”


About: I have always had great empathy for all animals and have been around dogs and cats most of my life. I feel I can connect with them and they react naturally around me. My schedule is flexible. My daughter is in school during the day and this is my only occupation. I hope my flexibility can make your life easier! The well-being of your pet is the top concern.
