Pet Sitting in Friendsville

About: I have raised two Australian Shepards myself. I have taught both of them all the basic commands myself. I am very patient and understanding. I just love being around animals as much as possible. I will give your pet plenty of attention including playing and exercising your pet. I am currently taking classes online so I am open nearly every day to take care of your pet. I am very flexible and have my own reliable vehicle to get to where I need to. In my home my pets are completely spoiled. My Aussie is always by my side including sleeping at the foot of my bed. My dog gets daily exercise. I am perfectly fine with treating your pet like my own or setting boundaries if you do not allow your pet on furniture.

“Elena was very kind, she looked after our puppies while we were out of town. She gave us updates on how they were and treated them with care. Great communication as well!”

About: Hello! I’m a stay at home mom who loves pets! Prior to children I had my own pet sitting company. Now I’m back at it. I love long walks and engaging with your pet! Your baby is in good hands when they are with me ❤️ I’m currently a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. My hours and days vary and can accommodate most requests! Don’t hesitate to ask! I love pets and walking! I will treat your fur babies like my own when they are with me and make sure they are well looked after.

“Emily was great with our two big doggies!! Would absolutely use her again!”

“Cody and Rachel saved my sanity! My usual Rover got sick and I contacted them at the last minute to cover. They did an excellent job!! It was comforting knowing that my fur babies were safe while I was out of town. Thank you! Thank you!”

About: I have had animals since I was born, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and loved every single one! I have experience watching neighbors and friends' pets since middle school and I am a college student now. I did a clinical internship at a vet and I am well versed in animal care. Whether that means walking, bathing, medicine administration, grooming, or just cuddles, I'm your girl! :) I have a part time serving job this summer and will be back to being a full time student in the fall. My part time job is very flexible and allows me ample time to check up/watch your pet. I will update my schedule every 2 weeks. I have cared for lots of animals and am able to crate your animal or put them away safely as needed. I also have lots of animal equipment (leashes, crates) on hand if there is any need to transport your pet.

“Hannah was excellent with our 3 dachshund dogs during our vacation. She came and met them before our trip to meet them and to get a feel for our babies and home. She communicated frequently with us and is great at listening to everything we told her about there personalities. I was concerned that one of our puppies would not be too friendly with a stranger and I left there snacks outside for her to come in with. That helped so much!! I would most definitely recommend Hannah to everyone wanting to ensure your fur babies are well cared for while you are away!!!”

“Betty provided drop in service for my pup Roxie for for 30 mins a day for 2 weeks. This was my first time utilizing Rover. Betty has such a kind, sweet spirit and you can easily tell within minutes of meeting that she loves animals! She was also flexible with activities requests that were modified due to changing weather. Roxie was thrilled to be able to play fetch in the backyard or go for walks (if/when it rained) mid day every day! Betty was very responsive and interactive by providing pics/videos during her daily visit. I will definitely contact her again when future needs arise!”

About: I am skilled in walking and caring for both large and small dogs. All breeds are welcome! I have also done extensive training with my own dog, Sadie, to learn about canine behavior and cognition. I would love to take care of your dog(s) while you are away! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am available to care for your pup at the following times: Monday: Before 9:30am, between 12:15-1:30pm, and after 4:30pm Tuesday: Before 7am, between 11:15 and 1:30pm, and after 5:15pm Wednesday: Before 9:30am, between 12:15-1:30pm, and after 4:30pm Thursday: Before 12pm and after 3:30pm Friday: Before 9:30am, between 12:15-1:30pm, and after 1:30pm Saturday: Upon request Sunday: Upon request I will keep your dog safe, fed, hydrated, and entertained with play time in your home. I also offer walks around your neighborhood or place of residence.

About: We provide a second family while you’re away. We take ONE furfamily at a time. Two or three families if all pups are familiar before their stay. Meet and greet preferred. Copy of up to date shots required. We’re happy to provide ours upon request. I am home all day minus taking my son to and from school and activities, never gone more than a few hours. I work from home as a registered nurse. My shifts are 2-4 hrs at a time so there is plenty of time to spoil and provide one on one time to make it feel like home. Dogs are NOT crated unless necessary or preferred by you. I have a few crates, depending on size. Preference is one the dog is already familiar with. Homemade frozen treats, fruits, and vegetables provided, please specify if you prefer no treats. You’re welcome to bring your own. We have a huge back yard (.5acre) and inside space available for those rainy days. When booking your stay please be aware paws get dirty, depending on your pets energy level we play and run hard! We rinse paws but do not provide baths. Drop off on first day before noon and pick up on the last day after noon will accrue half day charge. Plenty of long term, local references! Daily photo updates between 4-8pm, a visual day of the fur vacation. Check out our pictures to see our sleepover friends and fun! We've been lucky enough to have 5-6 frequent clients. Sadly some have passed or are in their elderly years where they're parents aren't traveling as much. Hoping to create some new clientele. If you've read this far, wow, you're awesome! Thank you ❤️😉 We love dogs and treat them like family. My boys can be loud and have little to no manners when it comes to barking so please excuse them when you arrive (even if they know you). They are my children and your dogs will be too. Their stay will be “just like home” to include going in and out 25 times a day 😉. To avoid accidents, I will not feed our animals together. My dogs are not aggressive in any way but being animals I believe it best to always be cautious. We live on a half acre with fenced in yard. All dogs are free roaming all day, they have their own gated off space when we leave. We have lots of space for play inside and out and plenty of places to rest in between.

About: I have 13 years of experience combined between caring for cats and dogs. I have owned both all my life and have been sitting for years, exposing me to many different breeds, ages, personalities, and needs. I have experience caring for elderly animals and am able to safely lift and carry large dog breeds when needed—I know sometimes seniors can need a little extra help getting around or being lifted onto surfaces! I also have experience administering medication and vitamins. I am very capable of administering all of the basics as well, such as food, water, potty time, medications (if needed), and, of course, giving lots of love, attention, and cuddles. Schedule wise, I feel that I stand out and can offer your pet more because I am an online student and DoorDash for income. This allows me to be very flexible, insuring your pet stays on their regular schedule and gets plenty of love and attention! This also makes me a good fit to care for pets that require more attention and supervision, such as puppies, seniors, or those with medical conditions. I’m your guy, if you are looking for a experienced, trustworthy, flexible sitter who will go above and beyond to for your sweet fur babies, giving you peace of mind to enjoy yourself while you’re away! Currently, I make money through DoorDash and am an online student in asynchronous classes. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule and lots of free time. I am free to stay overnight and for longer periods of time if needed. I love caring for pets! Currently, I do not offer boarding at my home as a sitting option, but am more than happy to stay the night at the client’s home. When caring for a client’s pets, I make sure that they stay on their designated feeding, potty, exercise, etc. schedules. I also check to see if they need meds and administer those as needed. I will also spend time with them throughout the day, loving on and playing with them. If the client prefers, I will also stay the night with them. I love cuddling and sleeping with the animals, but I also respect that some owners do not allow animals on future or crate their pets at night, so I will always be sure to follow the client’s instructions and wishes in this respect, too. Trust me, when you leave your pets with me, it’ll be like they are going on vacation too! They will love our time together just as much as I will! As for the home, I will perform light cleaning and specific tasks (e.g., getting the mail, taking out/bringing in the trash, watering plants, etc.) and, of course, will clean up after myself. I always make sure to leave the house as I found it, if not cleaner!

About: I love dogs and have been around them my whole life. I frequently volunteer at the local animal shelter, so I’ve learned a lot through experience how to handle various dogs. Your sweet pup will definitely be in good hands. I’m currently working as a full time physician assistant M-F 8-5. I am able to help before or after those hours and also fully available on the weekends :) I like to keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t get into anything or tear anything up. I like to see them comfortable or playful. Safety is most important!

“Excellent communication and care, I could easily tell that my cat was happy and taken care of very well. No issues with anything, and she was very professional and helpful!”

About: Pets have been a consistent resident in my home since I was 4 years old! I love cuddling, playing, and just being around animals, making sure they have a good and healthy environment. I have been dog-sitting on my own since I was 12 years old, and am well aware of the needs of a pet! I am good with all types of cats and dogs, and will ensure they are well taken care of :) I am currently a student at Pellissippi State Community College, but have a very open schedule! I have classes Tuesdays & Thursdays from 1:30pm-2:50pm and Wednesdays from 10:00am-11:20am but other than those times, I am completely free! I can do any day of the week, any time :) I am good at following instructions, and good with any type of dog! I am open to accommodating for your dog’s needs, allowing them to have a safe, trusted, and reliable environment while family is away :)

“Thank you, Cheryl!! Everything was Purrfect when we returned from Holiday. Biggie and Simon appreciate all the attention they received from you. You’re Wonderful.! 💝”
