Pet Sitting in Friendsville

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I recently lost my own dog after 8 wonderful years together, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pet. I’ve dog sat for multiple families and am comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications, potty training, feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love being around animals. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a nursing student, so my schedule can vary slightly week to week, but I do my best to stay flexible and communicate clearly with pet owners. I’m available for walks, pet sitting, and check-ins throughout the week whenever my schedule allows. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and handling puppies that may need extra patience or potty training support. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and safe walks and playtime. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and care I would want for my own animals.

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. I may currently be a little higher than other, but I will actually stay night and day to take care of your dogs. Not just to show up let them out and feed them 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. I also have experience with caring for horses. So I have no problem dealing with large dogs

“Lauren was such a kind, communicative, and flexible sitter! She gave such great updates and always sent multiple photos and videos. She even added an extra drop-in last minute. We highly recommend her and will use her again!”

About: I have had pets all my life. Mainly dogs. I have trained some of my personal pets in the past. I also love seeing animals personalities, and learning to work with them from there. I work 8a-4p Tuesday - Friday, and some Mondays (same hours). I never work weekends or evenings. I have an hour for lunch on the days I work, so I am able to run by for a potty break if needed. I have a big fenced in backyard just waiting for your dog to come roam! I do not currently have any pets, so I do not have a cage, water bowl, leash, etc. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.

“Attentive, thorough, communicative, professional, and caring!!!! Bethany is a natural. She clearly loves animals and cared for our two older girls like they were her own. We’d love to have her care for them again next time we’re out of town.”

“Cody and Rachel always take good care of our kitty when we are away. We appreciate that they came by for the drop-in visit even in stormy weather.”

About: I have been a dog lover since I was a young child playing with them holding them. Let them show me there joys and if sad hold them for awhile. They are wonderful friends. I am currently not working as summer school jobs are slim. I am available any day at anytime I am needed use me if needed I will care for your dogs by giving them structure and a routine so they can’t miss you as much and anxious behavior is minimized.

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.

“Betty is a delight! Ive utilized her multiple times over the past year (most recently this week) and never have to worry about Roxie! Betty is very responsive, punctual and always provides great care 🐶”

About: I ONLY BOARD FEMALES ☺️ Hello! My name is Mara and I would love to help with your furbabies while you are away and cant! Loving and compassionate towards any and all animals! I am a dog mom myself and know the struggles of finding a safe and loving place while away! I offer overnight stays, dog walking, and drop ins! I have 2 female dobermans who are gentle giants. One is 4 years old and i also have a 1 year old. She LOVES playing and having friends around! Small or large!! I can assure you that your dog/cat would be more than at home here and treated just as my own. I also have a 14 year old son who loves animals as well and really enjoys helping out with their needs. Looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home, so your pet will never be alone or crated all day! I have a fenced in front and back yard that are separated, they are let out very frequently as we go in and out all the time and they go freely as they want since it's all fenced in! There is nothing around my home that isn't safe for them they are part of the family when they are here! I work from home, so I am always here with them! No different from any other day except four extra paws and a new friend 😍 I have a fenced yard. The front is separated from the back so they can go out together or separately. Besides that they run free in my home, possibly crated at night time so we don't have any uh ohs!

“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!!!”

“Madason was great! She is so kind and truly cares about your pet. She was great with communication and made me feel at ease while I was on vacation knowing my cat was taken care of. Highly recommend!”

Sarah D.

“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: 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: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.

About: With over 15 years of loyal, hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies learning the basics to senior dogs who deserve extra patience, comfort, and love. No matter the stage of life, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and deeply cared for. 🐾 I also offer an hourly rate of 10$ if your needs do not match the pricing list Pet sitting fits naturally into my life and allows me to give animals the time and attention they deserve. I have no children and no pets of my own, which gives me flexibility and availability to fully focus on each pet in my care. I work part-time, so spending quality time with animals is something I truly enjoy and look forward to—it never feels like work, but something I’m genuinely passionate about. 🐾 I’m happy to care for your beloved fur babies either in my home or in the comfort of yours—whatever helps them feel most at ease. I have no small children and no other animals, and I offer a large, secure fenced-in backyard for safe play and relaxation. With a genuine love for dogs, I provide attentive, nurturing care and will treat your fur baby as my own—being a trusted “dog mom” while you’re away. 🐾

“Our pets are like family, and trusting someone else with their care can be a big decision. While traveling earlier this year, someone recommended Rover.com for my dogs. I decided to take a chance and met with Eric in person about two weeks before my vacation. My dogs loved him instantly! That visit eased all of my concerns about their care. Eric was always during the time I requested. Promptly feeding/caring for my dogs demonstrates his commitment to their care and well-being. I'm a big fan of the visit report card and photos! Thank you Eric for taking care of my babies! You've made several new friends!”

About: I have been doing petcare in California for the past two years. I am independently insured for pet walking and sitting. Growing up in Tennessee, my family had a running total of 10 cats and 2 dogs. We had kittens, strays, and elderly pets. All of our cats were shorthaired, but my grandmother had a longhaired cat. I briefly took care of another longhaired cat that a friend found in his neighborhood. He couldn’t keep it and knew I had experience with cats, so he called me and I took it in until we found its owner. The dogs I grew up with were very different. We got Hook, our black labrador retriever, from a breeder. He came with a pedigree and everything. Years later, in his old age, a corgi mix showed up at our house. We weren’t able to find her owners and we ended up keeping her. I credit her with keeping Hook alive a little longer. I know how much of a difference our animals can make. I have done petsitting in the client’s home and in my own home with pets, often with multiple animals at one time. I even kept three guinea pigs for about a week in December 2023. In Tennessee, I worked as a volunteer at a local animal shelter, reading to cats and dogs through a program designed to help socialize the animals. I am unable to pet sit animals in my current apartment, and would treat it as a privilege to be let in your home in any capacity. My current job is a flexible, part time, remote job that I can do from anywhere. This leaves me with a lot of availability for your pet! I am patient with animals and I never take my emotions out on them. There are times where I have had to be firm with animals, of course, (can you imagine keeping 6 cats off the counters? Or keeping our corgi mix from nipping at our black lab while she tried to herd him outside?), but I’ve never been mean or lost my temper with an animal, and our corgi was a Mess™. I can clean traditional litterboxes and have familiarity with some higher-tech ones. I understand body language cues from both dogs and cats. As the daughter of a former landlord, I understand the frustration that comes with letting someone in your home just for them to take advantage of you. Therefore, you can be certain I will maintain the utmost respect for your belongings, your home, and your pet.

About: I’m here to give your pets the care they deserve—right at home! I offer a variety of professional services, including fun dog walks, playful drop-in visits for cats, and cozy overnight pet sitting while you're away. Whether you're at work or on vacation, I provide personalized, loving care to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed in their own familiar environment. Let me treat your furry (or scaly) friends like family, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands! In addition to Rover, I work for a local vetted company that offers professional in-home pet care and dog walking. As an entrepreneur I work from my laptop and set my own hours so I am available to care for your pups 24/7! Last minute and emergency boarding is always available by request. Life happens, and you shouldn't have to worry about your fur babies while you take care of you! I believe in caring for your pets AND your home. Along with playtime, walks, and cuddles, we also take care of light cleanup to keep everything fresh and tidy. This includes sweeping and mopping floors, picking up toys or pet belongings, and cleaning up any messes that may happen throughout the day. For cats, we’ll scoop litter boxes and make sure their area stays clean. We’re happy to handle any light cleaning tasks as needed, so you come back to your home looking just like you left it. If you'll be away for more than a day or two, I’m also happy to collect mail, packages, or roll your trash bin to the curb on pickup day—just ask!
