About: Hey there :) !! Since I was a child I have loved animals, in my house I always take care of my dogs and cat, Also my friends have trusted me with caring for their animals while they are away. My love and respect for animals comes from the upbringing of my parents who are veterinarians and since I was little I have been with animals. I consider myself totally responsible and committed to the care of animals and the environment, that is why your pets will be my preference as well as their well-being. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule and no other commitments to interfere with scheduling. Me and my parents live together so your pets will always have company. Looking forward to caring for your pet at times that work for you. In my apt they will have access to the common areas. I have dogs park for potty breaks. Lovely, fun, quiet, safe, pet friendly home.

“Gayle could not have been better!! She was super attentive, communicative, and committed to making sure our pups were taken care of during her stays. She provided regular updates, pictures and recaps of each day. 10/10 Would book again with no hesitation. Thanks Gayle!”

“The absolute best care I could ever ask or hope for! What a blessing she was to my husband and I while we were out of the country. Her communication was the very best. Our babies were loved and cared for like we never left. Could not be any more pleased with everything!”

“Corbyn was so great with our pups! One of our babies is skittish and slow to warming up but had an instant connection with Corbyn. She updated me throughout our trip with photos and videos and left the house in great shape.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I have I the privilege of taking care of three cats of my own. Over the years friends and coworkers of mine have trusted me with their own fur babies. I have stayed overnight to care for dogs, I have traveled to friends homes to check in on their cats, I have even had my friend leave her dog with me at my house where she received tons is snuggles and love. I’ve been responsible for making sure a pet received her medication every morning and have clean countless of messes that an animals makes with no judgment. We all have those days! My jobs allows me to spend a lot of time at home which provides me with more time to spend with my pets and yours! If your pet requires extra care and attention I can easily fit that into my daily routine. In my home, I put my pets first. Their needs are taken care of before mine are. If I feel as if pets won’t get along with each other, I can keep my cats in my room and your pets will have the living area as their personal domain. I also have a fenced in backyard so that dogs can go outside and play without concern of them running away. I like to keep my pets entertained so I tend to leave on Bob Ross, Cat TV or cartoons when I have to leave for work.

“Jocelyn was great! Our fur babies loved her, she was accommodating last minute for a special request and took great care of our home while pet sitting. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

About: I Loves caring for dogs. It brings me joy to be apart of a family. My dog is my whole world and l wouldn’t trade him for nothing, our bond is unbreakable. I work part time on the weekends and l am available to care for your dogs during the week days Monday thru Thursday. I look forward to meet and play with your love ones. I have a dog that is friendly and loves playing with other dogs. You will need a leash a dog bed and a crate to secure your dog over night. I do take my dog for walks and play dates. We offered play with toys.

About: I’ve had and loved cats my entire life. I grew up with 2 cats; now my parents have 5 and so does my sister. I have 2 cats now, and they have traveled with me to and from Europe (needless to say, they traveled next to me and not in cargo). I’m passionate about cats and will make sure your fur babies are well taken care of. I’ll do everything I’d want my friend to do while I’m away from home. I usually leave the place cleaner than I found it, especially the litter box and food area. I also send good quality pictures and videos. I send at least several pictures per visit. Please, consider me. I promise I won’t disappoint. 😻 I have a flexible working schedule and work from home most of the time. I don’t mind spending hours in your home should it be needed. I’m not the smothering type and respect cats’ privacy and autonomy. I’ll try to build a relationship with your cat at their pace. Understanding their needs is my top priority, whether it’s playing with them or just sitting on the couch and watching TV together. I promise I’ll take great care of your baby as if it were my own!

About: I’ve had pets since I was 8 years old, from puppies to hamsters and baby ducks. I’ve helped my Yorkie through labor and cared for my senior dog until his last breath. I believe animals are innocent creatures who deserve a fulfilling life full of love and care. In my free time, I like to volunteer at the animal rescue center helping cats and dogs who were left helpless. At the shelter, volunteers care for them, feed and bathe them, and get them accustomed to humans, building trust through walks and playtime. I’d love to get to know your loving pet and treat them as family! I’m currently working a part-time job so I’d love to meet as many pets as possible! I’m open on the weekends for drop-ins and playtime/potty break visits. I’m also open on weekdays, but it depends on the week so please give me a heads up! I’m an early bird, so I prefer visiting early in the morning until 3pm. I have a spacious fenced backyard that my Yorkies love to play in. They are the real bosses of the house, so they’re spoiled to the max. They love long walks, car rides, and treats!

“Jennifer is great - dependable and communicative.!”

“Jamie was easy to communicate with, sent lots of photos, and was so excited to watch all our animals. I would definitely recommend Jamie for pet sitting!”

About: I've had 5 dogs throughout my lifetime, have cared for several others, and know how to take care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I work from home full-time, and I have a large unfenced yard with cables on the deck. I also have a well trained, active 3 year old black Labrador/German Shepherd at home with me and she loves other dogs that love her! I love to take my dog for walks and adventures and really try to keep her active and healthy. We have lots of toys as well! I would love to hang out and love your dogs just as much as I do with my own! I work from home full-time, so going for walks and making visits is very easy for me! My lab, Pepper is able to get 2+ walks per day plus playtime inside and outside I have a large unfenced yard with cables attached to the deck and a very well trained, energetic lab to keep them entertained. We have lots of toys and plenty of places to relax and play inside as well! I can crate your dog if needed

About: My name is Amber, I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee. I have had a love for all animals since I was a little girl. Being around them brings me a lot of joy and peace. I’ve had pets since I was around three. I currently have a yorkie puppy named Bentley, who is full of energy. I also have a care named Oreo, but he is living in Nashville with my parents. I love working with animals, because they’re so fun and pure. The excitement pets bring into your life is unmatched. I believe pets are truly members of your families , and should be treated as such . My apartment has a dog park for your babies to run around and have all the fun they want. I also live in a pretty spacious place with plenty room for them to move around as they please.

“We found Neha to be an excellent cat and home sitter. She took notes when we met before our trip, and followed all our instructions and requests, which was especially important because one of our two cats has asthma and requires having her inhaler administered on a schedule. During the time she sat for us she sent photos, videos, and updates on the agreed upon schedule. The house was in good order and our kitties were happy and clearly liked Neha. We would hire Neha to care for our cats and home again.”

“Allie was responsive and such a help to us over a holiday. She left our house spotless and the pups were happy and well when we returned!”

About: As a lifetime dog and cat owner, dog walker at a local animal shelter, and puppy foster, I am extremely passionate about animal welfare and very experienced. I have cared for senior dogs, including our family’s beloved boxer-pitt mix who passed in May of 2025, and I currently help my mom wrangle her 120 pound Great Dane named Moose. I fostered puppies of all ages and sizes (and their mamas too on rare occasions) and am very comfortable with all the ups-and-downs of puppy ownership. All that to say, there is no age, size, or energy level range that I haven’t encountered! I don’t mind if your pup needs me to take them out at 3am to potty, needs food that requires 30 minutes of preparation beforehand, or has a medication routine that requires a lot of hiding things in peanut butter. It’s all standard protocol for me! I’d love to meet your pets and give you the peace of mind that they are deeply loved and cared for when they’re with me. I work full-time M-F 7am-4pm, but am able to work from home when needed. I would try to work from home as much as possible when scheduled to petsit, and on days where that is not possible, take half days. My job is thankfully very flexible! I am someone who would rather be overly-cautious to a sometimes ridiculous degree. I will take every precaution to keep your pet and home safe and in a comfortable environment. I am knowledgeable about the health and safety issues when it comes to young puppies and vaccinations/decreasing parvo risk. I value communication and would rather receive too much information about your pet and its routine than too little! Feel free to send me a ten page essay about your pets, their routine, and what steps you’d like me to take to keep them happy, safe, and healthy.

“Jillian was wonderful! She took the time to meet our pups beforehand and made us feel so comfortable. While we were away, she checked in daily with pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”
