“Just returned from our Knoxville trip and absolutely enjoyed every minute of it stress-free and comfortable throughout thanks to Hannah and Ace! Maggie Mae (my girl) was extremely easy and comfortable about going so much she had no issue leaving and heading off to play with Ace leaving that lone-parent-first-day-of-school-drop-off vibes on the first day of our two day excursion; no worries though--that's more of a me thing :/ my bad. But absolutely can't recommend enough! Hannah was extremely prompt and professional throughout as well as accommodating to some last minute changes. Definitely should consider anytime in the area and in need, beyond better than the kennel.”

About: We are Holly and James, the super proud paw-rents of two adorable doodles: Riley, the Goldendoodle, and Ruby, the Labradoodle. We're all about giving love and care to our furry family members and any visiting pets. James is living the good life in retirement, and Holly works remotely, giving us plenty of time to pamper pets. Our home is a kid-free, cat-free zone, perfect for a peaceful pup retreat. Plus, we have a big fenced-in yard where dogs can run, play, and just be dogs. With years of experience under our belts, we know how to handle everything from bouncy puppies to wise old doggos. We don't just care for our own doodles, Riley and Ruby, but extend our love to all four-legged visitors. Here's what we provide: • A safe, secure environment • Tons of playtime in a spacious yard • Personalized care for each dog's unique needs • Experience with all sorts of breeds and ages • A whole lotta love and spoiling! Riley and Ruby aren't just pets; they're family. These playful, friendly doodles make sure every visiting dog feels right at home. With their wagging tails and joyful barks, they spread happiness wherever they go. When you leave your pet with us, you're choosing a home full of love, safety, and fun. Our commitment to caring for every dog that comes through the door is evident in the way each one is treated like family. Our environment is designed to be a haven for pets, free from the hustle and bustle of children and other animals, ensuring a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Our spacious fenced-in yard is a dog's dream come true, offering plenty of room to play, explore, and bask in the sun. Whether your dog loves to chase a ball, sniff around, or simply relax, they'll find the perfect spot here. The yard is not just a play area; it's a place where dogs can be themselves, feel safe, and enjoy their time to the fullest. James, enjoying his retirement, dedicates his days to feeding, playing, cuddling, walking, and showering the pups with love. His full-time devotion ensures that the pups are pampered and delighted from dawn till dusk. Meanwhile, Holly, immersed in her remote job from Monday to Friday, eagerly anticipates wrapping up her workday. As soon as the clock strikes quitting time, she rushes to indulge in cuddles and playtime with their beloved fur babies, adding an extra layer of affection and joy to their evenings. This dynamic duo guarantees that the pups bask in endless care, attention, and fun around-the-clock. We have a fenced-in yard to enable your dog a safe place to play and do their business. This area is also great for playing and romping for the pups who stay with us too. During the day, dogs will spend their time in the living room, outside in the yard, or in Holly's office. It really all depends on what your pup needs and what type of relaxation they are looking for during their stay. We do our best to allow your pup to relax and enjoy their time in our home as though it is their own.
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”

About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do
“Zoe and her husband were perfect for my dog Gus. I had a last-minute need for someone to watch him and they were very flexible with me. I know my dog enjoyed playing with their dogs too. Thank you guys so much!!”

About: I love animals and would love to provide a place that feels safe and welcoming for your animals when you are in need of someone to watch them. I know when we have been on vacation it’s always been important for me to have someone watch our animals and to not be worried when we are away! I’m a stay at home mom and we homeschool so we will be available to love and care for your animals at all times that’s needed. I have a fenced in yard, places of separation if needed along with a crate for sleeping if that’s the preferred arrangement for each animal. We are willing to accommodate and meet each need for your pet to make them happy and comfortable while staying with us!
“🥹🥹🥹 Lisa is incredibly sweet to my fur baby, she always gives tons of pics and feedback!! This was Ellie’s second stay with Lisa and won’t be her last either :) thank you Lisa for everything that you continue to do for us”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since day one—I’ve always shared my home with pets (including tiny puppies and 3 week old kittens!), and caring for them quickly became second nature. I started pet sitting and dog walking at 16, and my passion has only grown since then. Over the years, I’ve done extensive research on dog and cat behavior, health, and training—not just to be a better sitter, but to be the best pet parent I can be. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’m here to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I work part-time with two days off each week, and I have the flexibility to take breaks if needed. If I'm boarding your pet, no worries—I live just five minutes from my job and am happy to swing home for quick check-ins, potty breaks, or a fun little play session during the day. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always a top priority! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with three awesome roommates who also love animals, so your pet will get plenty of attention and company! It’s very rare that your pet will be left alone, and when I’m home, we’ve got access to a fenced-in dog yard right in the complex for safe playtime. I’m all about tailoring care to your pet’s vibe—whether that means frequent walks and play for energetic pups or cozy, lazy days for the more relaxed types. Your pet’s happiness come first!
“Rachel watched my 7 month old dog for a few days of daycare and took amazing care of her. They went out for so many walks throughout the day, played out in their beautiful yard, and every evening when I picked her up my dog was tired and happy! She was great with providing updates and pictures throughout the day as well. Highly recommend Rachel for any services!”

“Mocha had a great time with Nicky and their pet Nugget. She would send regular updates and pictures through out the day and well cared .The big fenced backyard and Nugget is a big plus. I would definitely recommend Nicky anytime. Nicky is the best I can ask for Mocha”

“Braleigh took wonderful care of Friedrich. Her children, dogs, and husband all contributed to making his day special. I was delayed picking him up due to traffic and she was very understanding. Bralieigh sent numerous text updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond! I would not hesitate to have her care for Friedrich again. Dale B”

“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”

“My two chocolate labs had a great time at Dawn's house! I was in Knoxville visiting my mom for Thanksgiving and she was able to accommodate us for a day of doggy daycare so we could attend a college football game. She has a ton of indoor and outdoor space and she was very patient with my VERY active 13-month old crazy! Will definitely book again when I'm in town.”

About: Hi! I’m Shawna! I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom! We have 2 dogs.. a 2 year old golden doodle named Lily & a 6 year old Lab named Niko! I have 10+ years of experience loving on animals. I prefer to keep animals in my home. We would love the opportunity to love on your fur babies while you are busy or traveling! They will always be treated like family & will have plenty of company! I stay at home and I am flexible to meet your dogs feeding and potty schedule. They will always get plenty of exercise and love! We welcome your pet to snuggle up & play in our family room with us anytime!! They can stay in our home or can stay outside in the fence if that’s your preference. We live in a neighborhood setting safe for walking pets. Our yard is safely fenced in for free play & we have a great setup to allow dogs space to themselves if needed. I do separate animals during feeding time to ensure safety. We crate if needed. I am willing to administer medications if necessary. Puppies are welcome. I will send pictures to keep you updated on your fur babies during their stay.
“Meredith was excellent taking care on my Ruth. She definitely did the “extra” and made my life easier by being flexible with my sometimes hectic work schedule. She also provided regular updates throughout the day which made me feel very at ease. My dog Ruth loved her and we both felt very secure in Meredith’s hands. I can totally recommend her!”

“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”
