“Bailey is great at taking of both my dogs. She is responsible, communicates well, and able to follow instructions! Will definitely put my babies in her care again!”


“Mickale was fantastic with my puppy. I know this because normally when I walk and he’s super excited. When I walked in this time he didn’t really care to see me that means he had a great time with her, my apartment was left spotless, my dog was healthy. She was very communicative. I genuinely appreciate her for pulling me out of a bind.”


About: I have 6 years of pet sitting experience, and have petsat dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, pigs, and fish. What sets me apart is my experience with my 13 year old cat. She is diabetic and has a host of other senior Kitty problems. I administer insulin twice a day, glucose curves, and oral medication. I am comfortable doing all of this with your fur baby too. I am also known to give excellent pets and belly rubs! I am now in an online graduate program to become a physician assistant, so my schedule is flexible. I am available to house sit or make frequent visits to check on your fur babies. I would love to walk your pet around the neighborhood and take them to the dog park if that is their interest as well. I give all the pets I petsit lots of attention and cuddles each and every day!

“Jaymes was so great! He sent pics and videos to me throughout the weekend and my babies really loved him. He was attentive to their needs and gave them all of the love and affection while I was gone. My house was exactly the way that I left it and Jaymes was in constant communication. I would absolutely use Jaymes again on upcoming trips!”


“Haley loved on our babies so well and was super responsive! She was also very flexible with our needs and was willing to go the extra mile for us. We will definitely book her again!”


“Cole was outstanding. Very friendly and immediately got along with our dog Lexi. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a pet sitter. Gerry”


“Elizabeth was great! This was our first time using her to house sit with our 2 pups and they loved her! She sent us fun photos and she was very responsive when we checked in while we were away. We'll be using her again soon and highly recommend her! Thank you for everything Elizabeth!”


“Thank you for taking such good care of my fur baby! She was so happy after getting all the attention.”



“Ashley was so helpful and attentive! Not only did she take excellent care of my dogs but she also made sure my faucets were dripping when the temperature dropped! Highly recommend!”


“I’m so grateful for the care and attention Haley gave Tj! She kept me updated with photos and made sure he was happy and comfortable the entire stay. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I will absolutely book with her again!”


“We love having Magnolia watch our pets in our house when we’re out of town. One of our cats has a health issue and we feel so comfortable with Magnolia watching her. When we got home the kitties were happy, bowls were full, and house was clean. Thank you!!”


About: I have experience caring for many dogs and cats, even including special needs animals! My previous cat had FIV, and my other cat has a cleft palate which makes it difficult for her to eat! I’m open to anything that I need to do to keep your animals safe and healthy!! I’m a student at UTHSC, so I have class in the mornings for a couple hours starting the last week of August, but I would always be free to go both before and after, as well as overnights! I am pretty flexible if I know in advance! I try and visit the animals I watch atleast 5 or more times a day, and do a walk or a trip to the dog park whenever the weather is nice! I also have a dog at my house, named Tulip, who loves to join in if your dog does well with others! The family I currently dogsit for knows how much I HATE leaving the dogs in the crate, as I’m constantly texting asking if I can leave them out🤣 I will do my best to minimize crate time if applicable!

About: I am a former veterinary kennel manager and rescue attendant! I have grown up with animals of all kinds. Birds, rodents, cats, dogs and even horses! I have worked several jobs in my time with the primary focus of the caregiving of pets and rescue animals. I am a freelance artist and photographer and working part time at my family’s restaurant which gives me a lot of freedom to take care of your babies! I offer walking and housesitting services. I make sure your babies get all of the attention and can administer any meds and feedings as necessary. I have no qualms with pets with anxiety and most cases of aggression. I understand the importance of trust with all clients and most importantly with their babies.

About: As a former college athlete and current student, I bring energy, reliability, and care to every pet I watch. I grew up on a small farm where I regularly cared for dogs, cats, chickens, and goats, so animal care has always been a part of my life. I have two dogs of my own and truly treat every pet like family. With a flexible schedule and a love for animals, I’m here to give your pet the attention they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I’m free every day after 4 PM. I’m also fully available on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. With my flexible schedule and active lifestyle, I’m able to give each pet the attention and energy they need, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I don’t offer in-home boarding, but I’m totally happy to stay at your place so your pup feels safe and comfy in their own space! I’m super respectful of people’s homes, follow all your instructions, and make sure your dog sticks to their normal routine. I’ll give them tons of love, attention, and playtime, and of course, send you plenty of cute updates. I also have lots of references from families I’ve petsat for, so you can feel extra confident while you’re away!

“Did an excellent job with our two boys.”


“Abby was great! She helped us out for weekend house/dog sitting in a pinch! She did great, sending updates and photos. Definitely recommend and will use again.”


“Arika was a wonderful dog and house sitter. She cared for our 3 dogs while we were out of the country and she made us feel completely at ease. We hope to have her back again and again!”


About: I ‘m exceptionally careful and sensitive to your pup’s personality and temperament. I will Aid in any fun times that you don’t have time to give them. So when you’re home from work they are tired just like you and really for a cuddling sleep next to you! Anything else you need like special instructions or guidance, I will be happy to oblige. I love getting to know different puppies and dogs so that I can learn more about the different breeds. I fully plan to start my own business in about five years and it will be dedicated to dogs cats and other small caged animals. I truly believe that your pets are family and that they deserve the very best care. I will Provide that!

“Kailey and Hunter were great! Our pups warmed right up to them and they hung out with them the whole time. Our pups were happy with them! Such peace of mind!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little! We always had dogs at my own house and my parents and family members have always relied on me to take care of their pups! I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center studying Physical Therapy! My school schedule will help keep my availability flexible! I am always happy to just let dogs out and run around in the backyard or walk them! I love playing with dogs and will make sure they’re well cared for!

“I have used Chloe twice now to babysit my dog. She spent the nights at my house, took him for walks, and left my house in good order.
