About: As a deeply empathetic and compassionate mental health professional, I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet sitting services that cater to the emotional and physical well-being of your pets. With a Doctorate degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Counseling with internship training in animal-assisted modalities, I bring a unique blend of expert care and emotional insight to my role. Throughout my post-graduate internship, I gained invaluable experience working with therapy animals to assist children and adults, enhancing their emotional and social well-being. This role not only deepened my expertise in animal behavior and welfare but also reinforced my natural inclinations for empathy and understanding, allowing me to connect with animals in a profound and meaningful way. In my professional pet sitting services, I apply these traits by ensuring each pet receives nurturing attention, recognizing their individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I strive to create a comforting and stimulating environment, where your pets feel understood, cared for, and safe. I am prepared for both short-term and long-term assignments, passionately committed to offering your pets a loving and attentive experience. I work remotely and have a moderately flexible schedule with a few set tasks throughout. Depending on location and need, I can be somewhat flexible. I prioritize creating a nurturing and safe environment whether at my home or a client's home. I leverage my background in psychology and animal-assisted therapy to understand and cater to the unique emotional and physical needs of each pet. This includes maintaining a structured routine with regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to keep pets active and engaged. I also provide constant companionship and emotional support, ensuring that pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved in their temporary environment. My approach is flexible and adaptable, designed to meet the specific requirements of each pet and the preferences of their owners.

About: Hi, I’m Alora! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, goats, pigs and chickens! I’m certified in Cat & Dog First Aid (Red Cross) and have cared for senior pets, those with special needs, and energetic puppies. I’m a stay at home mom to two boys (Bond & Sawyer) and two sweet pups (Baloo & Akela). Your pet will be treated like family, with love, attention, and snuggles. Our backyard is fenced, I offer safe, supervised outdoor time or walks around our quiet neighborhood. Whether it’s a drop in, walk, or boarding stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes every step of the way! I’m home full time with my two young boys, so I’m able to give plenty of love and attention to every pet I care for. From morning potty breaks and walks to evening snuggles, your pup is part of our daily routine. We go on neighborhood walks, enjoy playtime, and keep you updated with photos along the way. Your pet will feel like part of the family while you’re away! 🐾 In my home: Pets are part of the family! I provide lots of love, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks. I keep their routines as close to home as possible. In my client’s home: I follow all care instructions carefully feeding, walks, medications, and plenty of attention so your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Josie was great! She kindly welcomed us to an impromptu meet and greet which was very helpful for our two shih tzus, 0ne is over 15 yo, nearly deaf with vision loss, and his buddy was recently rescued from a breeding mill so he's learning about love, leash, harness, steps, toys, beds, security: everything in dog life. Josie and her service dog Saint share a wonderful energy which we appreciate. Our two pups do best in calm and they responded well to them. During their stay Josie provided exceptional communication with photos and updates which we appreciated even when we were unable to respond. Her love, patience and dedication to dogs are evident. I definitely recommend Josie and Saint and will request them again. Next time I think our little dogs would be more comfortable without a second large dog staying too. I have confidence in Josie managing several at a time, however ours can become unsettled by larger groups of dogs or people. Over time they may be able to feel more secure in them. Now, they are less sure. Josie handled any of their insecurities or fears well. She is very accommodating for their needs all around, including special allergy diets too. We are pleased to have met Josie and look forward to seeing Saint and her again. They are a pleasure.”

“Justin is wonderful and takes great care of all the pups in his charge! We always know Bruno is gonna have a fun day, get plenty of exercise, and come home ready for a long nap. Book Justin now!”

“Dominique was an absolute lifesaver for us, and took amazing care of our impromptu temporary foster while we ran errands. She was kind, accommodating, and kept in touch with me throughout the day. 10/10!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for my entire life. Starting as a kid, dogs were my first love as an animal enthusiast. They are so playful, kind, loving, innocent, and unique in every way. I’ve never had a dog that didn’t give me their full loyalty. I believe every animal should be protected and treated with love and respect. My ultimate goal in life is to become a veterinarian and help animals who don’t have someone to care for them. I am currently available weekdays for drop in and walking services. I am also available on weekends based on availability. I also offer bathing services as an add on to any booking! I believe proper animal care is essential. I have in depth knowledge of temperament and training. I would be more than happy to follow a set schedule for your pet and care for them in the most stress free way possible.

“If your looking for a sitter or doggy day care, this is the person you want to choose. Very professional, welcoming and always on top of your dogs needs. Top notch service every time!!”

About: I’m a professional dog trainer who apprenticed under Kevin Behan founder of Natural Dog Training and author of Your Dog is Your Mirror. I have worked with all kinds of dog, both in terms of breeds and behaviors. I was also the head trainer and a manager of one of the largest boarding facilities in Vermont, Oh My Dog. I have plans for a small kennel and training out of my house long term. Available all week days and possibly weekends with reasonable notice. I have six acres of wooded land that backs up to hundreds of acres of state owned land. I have a fenced in play yard, and two side kennels that get all day shade. Also have space to accommodate crates as well!

“Frank was so happy when I picked him up, he definitely had a great time with Miranda! I appreciate her so much for being a comfortable place for my boy.”

About: I have always had a dog(s) in my life. I’ve care for small dogs, large dogs, old dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I’ve always wanted to create a doggie hotel, but short of that they are welcome in my home. I’m currently not working outside the home and have ultimate flexibility. I like to have a planned schedule and prefer scheduling stays at least 1 week in advance. I have a safe, fenced in yard and have one senior dog of my own to keep you baby company. I live in a safe walking neighborhood, if you’d like to add that service. I can also adapt my service to your home, especially with drop in service.

“Charish was amazing with our two pups, Lulu and Lucky! She was super friendly, flexible with our schedule, and took great care of them while we explored Chattanooga. They came back happy and well-loved. She offers a very large fenced in yard with room to roam. If you’re visiting the area and need someone trustworthy and kind to care for your fur babies, look no further. Charish is a gem—we’d use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to any pet parent! 🐾💕 🐶🐾”

“Lychee had a great time while I had a day trip in Chattanooga planned and was all tuckered out from all the walks and play!”

Erin R.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring her to care for my furry friends and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep love and respect for animals, and it showed in the way she interacted with my dogs. I was able to enjoy my time away with complete peace of mind, knowing that my dogs were in great hands. When I returned, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. I can't recommend Sonja and Yolanda highly enough - if you're looking for responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters, look no further!”
