“Hayley is an incredible sitter for your pet! She is always willing to drop in and take care of my cat if I will be out for a few days. She sends photos, gives updates, and is incredibly good if your pet has specific needs. Very trustworthy person, would recommend!”
“Mariah did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She provided updates daily and sent pictures when cat made an appearance. I will definitely use Mariah next time my 3 cats need a babysitter.”
About: I have over 30 years of volunteer work at animal shelters working with at risk dogs. I have 2 high energy, stong willed dogs of my own. I bring a strong, yet calm engagement with every sort of dog personality by carefully observing their behaviors and approaching them in a way that generates comfort while displaying my authority. I am very flexible within reason. I work from home and own my own company. I really prefer an intro meet with you and your baby prior to first engagement if possible. That allows me to understand the dogs and see your manners/handling. It also allows me to build comfort with your dog and make them less stressed when I show up. I live on over 40 acres. I will align to your specific wants and needs regarding care whether that be in your home or at mine. I can crate overnight, walk frequently and for the durations you want. I build rapport through calm, confident engagement with your dog and you. Open communications with a willingness to express issues with kindness is key to a strong and genuine relationship/team effort.

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve helped raise both a puppy and a kitten, gaining hands-on experience with everything from training to daily care. For the past year, I’ve been dog and house sitting, and I’m excited to continue building my experience while providing loving, reliable care for your pets! During the summertime, my availability differs with my work schedule; however, my mornings and nights offer plenty of free-time! I'm also currently a student at Tennessee Tech University, so my schedule will include school hours beginning in August, the start of our fall semester. I keep my cat indoors, as I feel this is the safest option for her. My dog is primarily an indoor dog, as we do not have fences; however, he is fairly well trained. *I do not provide any services in my own home, due to my pets and other personal factors!*
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve pet sat for friends and family for as long as I can remember, and I also worked at a dog and cat daycare for nearly two years during high school. Now that I’m in college with a more flexible schedule, I’m excited to spend time with more four-legged friends! Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away, I’m here to help. I also have a cat of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I'm currently working part-time at Tennessee Tech as a resident assistant, which means I live on campus and have a flexible, well-managed schedule. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine—I’m often nearby and available to drop in, provide consistent care, and spend quality time with your pets. Plus, I’m already used to being a reliable and trusted presence in people’s lives! Since I live on campus as a resident assistant, I’m unable to host pets in my own space. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home! Not only does this help them stay in a familiar environment, but it also allows me to provide dedicated, one-on-one attention while keeping them relaxed and stress-free. I’m dependable, respectful of your space, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I left high school. I have a 6 year old Pomeranian . I’ve watched family and friends animals for years. I’m a RN and work 3 days a week and I have a set schedule. I would only book my appointments for the days I will be off so I can focus completely on taking care of the pets. I have a fenced in back yard and one dog who are willing to play and show your dog around. We will be excited to meet your babies!
About: I am very passionate about keeping your pet safe and active. I have a very flexible schedule and can even take your animal to parks, appointments, or just for car rides. I have a very flexible schedule and can help be apart of walking your pet. I am very active myself so I can also help burn some of your pets energy!
