“Wendy was wonderful! My 2 kitties loved her! She did everything I asked her to do for my fur babies. She sent me daily pictures of her and the kitties so I knew things were good at home. I will definitely use her again! Lora L. 5-26 to 5-31-25.”


2. Cara D.

“Cara did a great job looking after my kitties! I got plenty of pictures of them while we were gone and she listened to instructions! I would hire her again in the future!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up surrounded by pets, I learned early on how to care for them with love, patience, and attention to detail. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following specific routines, and giving each pet the individualized care they deserve. What sets me apart is my calm, nurturing personality and my genuine commitment to making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy. I work weekdays from 8 AM to 2 PM (and 8 AM to 12 PM on Fridays), which leaves me available for early morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits or walks. My flexible afternoons and weekends allow me to give pets the attention and consistency they need, whether it’s for regular check-ins, playtime, or overnight care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and at ease. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding and medication to routines and preferred play styles, to make sure your pet’s needs are fully met. I respect each home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and stress-free. I also take time to build trust with each pet—letting them warm up at their own pace, staying patient, and offering plenty of love and attention. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in kind, capable hands.

6. Matthew O.
About: I've been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child. I have been helping friends and family walk and care for their animals and have worked countless hours volunteering in different shelters. I just moved to the area this past year and am working towards my real estate license, so I have plenty of free time to play with/walk/run with your pet(s)! I love walking/running with dogs and always keep them on a leash when outside of the home. I also enjoy playing fetch or tug-o-war in a fenced yard.


7. Hannah T.
About: My whole life has always been surrounded by the love of a dog. As young as 12 years old, I was helping parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends in any way I could with their beloved pets. Currently, I have my own sweet baby: a 6-year-old female golden retriever named Maggie. When I am not home with my pets, I volunteer at 2 local veterinary clinics. I am currently attending college, ultimately seeking my doctorate in veterinary medicine. I make it my goal, no matter where I am, to treat every animal with the love I would like my own to receive. I plan to share this love and care with your pets in all aspects of my work! I am currently home for the summer. I work at two veterinary clinics throughout the day, as well as partake in two online college courses. With all that said, I am free before nine daily and tend to be done between 5 or 6 p.m. I also have a two-hour window on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Although my schedule is pretty full, I really enjoy pet sitting in what free time I do have. I can make my schedule decently flexible and open, depending on your pet care needs. Please feel free to reach out and ask any scheduling questions, or to see if I can move things around to fit your needs! When it comes to me being in or around your house for the sake of your pets, I will treat it with the same and care and respect I would expect for my own. I will be unavailable to care for your pets in my home for extended periods of time but for a short day stay I do have a large yard and two very friendly and playful medium/ large sized dogs of my own!


8. Irene B.
“Irene will love the animals as if they are her own. She is a dog lover and treats them like her babies. She’s punctual, responsible, and Capable of holding down the fort while owners are away… so that they can feel confident and not have to worry about what’s happening with their animals.s.”


9. Ashtyne F.
“Ashtyne is every thing you want in a pet sitter. She is dependable and loves animals. I didn't have to worry at all about my fur babies when I was on vacation. She is responsive to messages and sends lots of pictures to keep you updated on your pets day. It was so nice to have peace of mind about my pets so I could enjoy myself while on vacation.”


10. Jailyn B.
About: I have always loved pets. I have owned dogs and cats since I was very little and learned easier ways to crate train, and teach pets new skills like sitting, laying, rolling over, etc. I have two friendly, playful, and loving dogs in my apartment, which is why I am willing to dog-sit. I would be more than happy to have any type of dog stay here with me or to watch during the day. Animals tend to be drawn towards me, especially dogs. Currently, my parents own a jack russell / dachshund mix and a full blooded pitbull. We have previously owned huskies, malamutes, and even an eastern Timberwolf. I love all types of dogs and cats, and I would love to take care of yours! As far as cats, I am willing to travel to you for their care, but my older dog does not get along with cats so I do not want to take that risk. They are all extremely friendly with other dogs! We have never had any issues with dogs before. I currently work in Knoxville so I can’t do any mid-day drop ins or walks, but I can do before and after work. I also only work a half day on Friday, and am off Saturday’s and sundays. My dogs are crate trained so they go potty before work, after work, and several more times throughout the evening they go out as often as they like. I have a spacious 3 bedroom house with a large fenced in backyard as well as a nice porch for sunbathing. We are currently remodeling so it is not the prettiest (but we love it). We also live in the country, so there is plenty of safe space to go for walks!
