Dog Sitting in Heiskell

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.

About: Pet lover here! I've had many and taken care of many animals over the years. I owned a horse and also helped with wild life caregiving. I'm reliable! Never met a family or pet I haven't loved and hasn't loved me! Cats, dogs....I got you covered! I'm available for daily check-ins and also for in-house care while you are away! Let me know how I can help put your mind at ease. I know that your pet is a family member. I will care for your pet at your home. Feel free to set up a camera to put your mind at ease. Show me the routine you and your pet love. I am reliable and responsible. Hope to meet you soon!

“Thank you for taking care of my babies”

About: I’ve had many dogs all my life. Family, friends, and neighbors have depended on me for house/pet sitting, pet feeding, bathing, and pet medication needs more seriously over the last 5 years. I plan to open a pet care business eventually, and I would love the opportunity to serve you while I work towards these ambitions. I love dogs, any size, and energy level. I work bi-weekly and my calendar reflects my exact availability! When I’m not working I stay home as much as I want/ need, which means your pet will have my full attention!! I have a dog yard and plenty of play space that has proven great for Rover. Your pet will be my best friend during their stay. I’m laying roots in Knoxville and simply can’t afford my own pet yet, so I am grateful to host yours!

“Jeanie was so good with my pets! I asked her to do two drop-ins per day while I was away. She did everything that was needed for my dogs and sent me really great pictures of my dogs, which made me feel confident that they were taken good care of while I was gone.”

“She was great with our dog! Really went the extra mile when dog sitting. Took the dog out for walks and shared pictures when taking care of the dog!”

About: I have had animals my entire life, I currently have 3 dogs and a cat of my own. I have small and extra large dogs so I know the care that each size group requires. All of my pet owning friends come to me for medical and training advice. I am also always the first person they come to when they need someone to take care of their beloved pets. I can follow strict regimens regarding food, brushing, bathing, medicine etc. I have almost full availability as I am a Teacher through the school year and off through the summer time. I am a morning person so I have no problem scheduling something early, and love an evening walk when the sun starts to go down as well. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own so animal care is already part of my daily routine! I have a reliable vehicle to take me to and from your house, as well as a love for exercise for walking your dogs! You and your animals experience with a walker/sitter is my top priority. I understand the fear of being unable to find someone trustworthy to watch your pets, having some of my own. I have a large fenced in yard and still make time to take all 3 dogs on walks to give them the exercise and stimulation they need to be happy.

About: Hey y'all! I have a love for animals and I'm looking for pets to hang out with and care for while I'm in school and working a full time job. I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license with Penn Foster. Luckily, it's a strictly online school! I'm also a full-time Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, so I have plenty of experience with caring for animals. Friends and family have always considered me very trustworthy with their pets since I was young! I can't remember a time when I didn't love animals. I have been pet sitting for a few years for my family and parents' coworkers, but I thought I would step it up and try Rover! I currently work at an animal hospital and I previously worked at a doggy daycare. All of this while also being in school to get my license! These experiences have helped me gain important skills and qualifications to take care of any pet! Some of the skills that make me qualified include: -Giving oral medication -Injectable medication -Senior dog experience -First Aid -Bathing -Walking -Providing boarding care (keeping up with food, water, and playtime) -and of course I'm experienced with providing a whole lotta love! I'm currently working around 32-36 hours a week at an animal hospital, which means I work long hours occasionally, but I will still make plenty of time to stay with your fur babies and watch over them before and after work. I make sure to provide as much social and/or physical playtime for your pets when I am taking care of them! Since I do work long hours this would mean I can drive over during my lunch break to prove the proper care.

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

“Hayley did an awesome job! After her first drop in visit I knew the dogs were being taken care of and loved. She sat outside with them when the temps were in the teens, she hand fed our picky eater, and gave every dog some loving.”

About: Hi! I offer an in-home boarding experience set on a beautiful 9-acre horse farm, designed to provide a fun, safe, and enriching stay for your furry family members. With a tropical theme and a cozy, home-like atmosphere, we ensure that every dog feels comfortable and loved during their visit. Our home features four spacious 6’x4’ kennels equipped with luxury cots, along with a large fenced-in dog area for plenty of off-leash fun. During the day, dogs enjoy lounging in our home, socializing, and engaging in enrichment activities such as Kongs, lick mats, splash pads, and bubble play. At night, they rest in their spacious kennels unless special accommodations are needed for non-crate-trained dogs. We often have multiple guests at a time, so your dog will have the chance to make new friends during their stay. With a background as an animal health technician and hands-on experience managing our farm, I have extensive knowledge in animal care and well-being. I work a remote job, allowing me to be home most of the day. However, I do leave for a few hours each day, and occasionally, we may be gone for a full day for family outings. During these times, dogs stay comfortable and secure in their kennels with access to enrichment activities. With personalized care, ample playtime, and a stress-free environment, our home is the perfect retreat for your pup while you’re away! **we do leave the house for family events , outings and errands. We may be gone for full days on weekends to our children's events, games, sporting games appointments** I work mostly from home. Dogs are welcome to play outside on our fenced farm or hang out with me while I work! Dogs are supervised outside at all times. We provide areas to separate dogs if needed, we have extra kennels as well. We send pictures and videos and you're welcome to call/message to check in on your pet at anytime.

“Our dog was well fed and given lots of love and attention by Peggy!”

“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Lydia is AWESOME! She went above and beyond as our sitter. Not only did she hanging out with our kitty but she also brought my packages out of the rain. Lydia was really kind and quickly won over my grumpy cat. She’s a keeper for sure!”
