“Jenny is THE best ever! Will use her as long as she’ll have me. My dogs look so happy in the pics she sends. I know they’re in good hands. She is communicative and flexible as my travel may require an extra visit some days. I hesitate to write such a glowing review for fear she will get too busy. ❤️🐶🦮🐕🦺🐕”


About: Commander of the weens and keeper of the one eyed retrievers! I modify my schedule to fit you and your pets needs! I am willing to accommodate your dogs and provide a peaceful retreat to keep them calm and in their routine so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your bestie! I offer in home and at home dog care. Please note dogs must walk on a leash if they are staying with me as I am currently in an apartment close to many parks! I am currently a grad student with a flexible schedule. I do not have pets of my own so your pet(s) will be the center of my attention! I currently live in a spacious apartment with no pets and no kids. Pets can be crated or free to roam while I am not there. I live next to a walking path that is close to many parks (less than 5 min walking). I am happy to stay at your house to minimize disruptions to your pets routine. At home visit and meet and greets are highly encouraged prior to booking!

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!

“Magnolia was excellent! Communicative, professional and super sweet with my kitten Sophia. She was flexible with times and even checked to make sure I made it home due to bad weather. If my flight had been grounded, she was willing to brave the snow and to take care of Sophia. Highly recommend! I will book Magnolia again when the need arises!!!!”


“Alicia was wonderful with Bailey! I was so worried as I had never left him alone before, and I was concerned about his reaction with a stranger. Everything went very smoothly and she was very caring and loving toward him, putting both Bailey and myself 100% at ease. Next time I have to go out of town, I will definitely be booking with Alicia again!”

About: Hi, I’m Nelmarie - your pet’s next best friend! 🐾 Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up, my mom served on the board of our local animal shelter, and I spent countless hours volunteering there as a kid. Whether I was helping socialize kittens, walk dogs, or clean kennels, I learned early on how to care for animals with love, patience, and responsibility. I also may have talked my mom into adopting several rescues… Needless to say, our home was always full of rescue animals! Since high school, I’ve been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors—and I continued doing so all through college. Today, I’m a proud cat mom to two adorable kitties, and I still love caring for animals of all kinds. My fiancé, DaMon, is my “bow wow backup” and helps me provide top-notch care. He’s a lifelong pet lover and the best cat dad to our two fur babies. When needed, he’s happy to assist me with visits, walks, or extra cuddles! I have experience with: • Kittens and senior cats • Administering oral medications • Puppies and senior dogs • Shy or anxious pets who need extra patience and care My full-time job is flexible, so I’m available on evenings and weekends, and I can usually make lunchtime drop-ins work during the week as well. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle session, or just someone to check in and show them love while you’re away—I’m here to help! I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, and I’d love the chance to care for your furry family member. 💕🐶🐱 I work full-time downtown from 8:00-4:30, but I can most likely make early morning or lunchtime drop ins work during the week as my schedule is pretty flexible! My weekends are generally open :) When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and your pets like family. I’m happy to feed, refresh water, scoop litter boxes, administer oral medications, and of course—give plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🏡🐾
