Cat Sitting in Karns

“Denise was so great with our shy kitty! She communicated every day during the check ins and sent lots of videos. She made us feel so comfortable while we were away!”

Sarah K.

“Tori was communicative, attentive, and descriptive in her visits. I knew my cat was in good hands with her - it was wonderful to hear her progress in getting my skittish cat to warm up to her and feel comfortable eating with her around. Thank you, Tori!”

Andrea Z.

“Elle was amazing with Pip! She was super communicative with letting me know there would be a boarding buddy and sent photos updating me on what my cat was up to. Would highly recommend Elle and board with her again!”

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!

“Madison was fantastic with our babies. She was attentive and communicative about each visit. She made sure to let us know each day how they were and making sure we knew how they were. We could not have worked with a better caregiver.”

“Mary-Catherine is a delight. It's clear she loves the fur babies she cares for. She is very responsive, reliable, and thoughtful in her communications. Highly recommend!”

“Devin was flexible and gracious. Our kitties had their own room and were safe and cared for. I would would recommend them and personally hire them again if the need arises. Thank you!!”

About: I love all animals, but have a special connection to dogs. My aunt has had dogs since I was little, and I’ve always loved their snuggles. My dog Auggie is my best friend in the whole world, and I would love to make more furry friends. I currently work part time, and have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I’m available all day Saturday, and before 10:00 and after 4:30 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. I have college classes on Tuesday and Thursday. So my available times will change every semester, however, I will let you know if you message me. I can do overnight visits any day of the week. I can take you’re dog on walks, give them water, food, and medications. I can also take them on potty breaks or we can play in the yard.

About: Hi! I’m Melissa, a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. I’m happy to take active pups on runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners — I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. My approach is simple: tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be in a pet-free, two-story apartment/townhome with lots of space inside and outside to play, and everything is fully pet-proofed for even the most rambunctious animals. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know they’re doing well! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I plan my days around the pets I’m watching. I do work in office 8a-6p Monday through Friday, but I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins before/after work, and throughout evenings and weekends. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. In my home, pets stay in a clean, pet-proofed, two-story apartment/townhome with plenty of space to move around and explore. I keep doors secured, hazardous items out of reach, and always supervise playtime. Since I currently have no pets of my own, your dog gets my full attention and a calm, low-stress environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, keep feeding and medication schedules consistent, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered or a fish or small animal fed or something, please just let me know!

“Joanna did a great job with our dogs. She did a meet and greet with our pups and they really liked her. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life (mine and the animals of people I love). I am passionate about animals of all kinds and have experience caring for animals of all ages, medical needs, and temperaments. I currently have a puppy and two cats (one with medical needs). I’ll care for your furbabies with the same attention I care for mine. I am a classical violinist, so my working hours usually occur Thursday - Sunday. I am usually free all day Monday - Wednesday, allowing me a lot of flexibility to visit your pet when and however often you need me to. I know how important it is for your pet to be treated and cared for with the specific instructions you require. I will take great care to follow everything to a “T” and care for your babies the way I care for my own. I am extra cautious about pet safety (opening and closing doors, leash security, environmental awareness on walks, etc.)

“she’s literally the best!!!! 10/10 was so helpful and communicative and took such good care of my baby girl! will be using her again!”

Hannah C.

“Alicia checked in on my cat while I was out of town. She was so loving and sweet with him, and really went above and beyond! If I ever need someone to watch him again, she’ll be the first person I contact!”

Cheyenne D.

“Kristen was so kind and took great care of my cats Jax and Boba. She did overnight stays with them that gave me such peace of mind and left my place just as I had left it - a fantastic house guest 🙂 I've already booked her again for a longer trip I have later in the year and has just been great about providing updates and prompt responses!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and I’m now looking for a Doberman to join the family! I love to snuggle with my cats and I spoil them rotten! I am free most times since I work from home. If you’re close by, I will go no matter the weather! I will treat your baby as though they’re mine! I care for my cats by making them a comfy spot near me, providing them food, water and toys to play with, a box to climb in, a window to look through and a tv to watch birds on! As for dogs, I would take them on walks and give them tons of love since they’re going to be missing you so much!

“Jessica did an excellent job caring for our Pepper. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. We highly recommend her and will use her again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I rescued all my animals from shelters, just because I believe animals deserve loving homes too! I do not have any training experience unfortunately, but I’m open to learning :) I have class from 1:30 pm - 4:20 pm. So, I honestly have all morning and all evening. Most of the time I’m with my own dog when I am home. I pretty much have a good amount of free time on my hands. I prefer pet sitting at the clients home. Just so the dog is in a place they know. I have a dog and he gets really excited with other dogs which can stress dogs out. My goal is make the dog feel safe with me, and of course have the client comfortable with me in their home :)

“Veronica took such good care of my cat while I was out of town! She quickly earned Harper’s trust and got in some great playtime! I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing Harper was so well cared for (and with so many nice pictures of how Harper was doing at home).”

About: Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve been a registered nurse over five years now and am currently based in Knoxville. I love helping people but I have a love for animals too. I have a cat, cockatiel, and XL dog of my own, and I’ve also fostered cats with Feral Feline Friends. I work three 12-hour shifts which allows me plenty of downtime to help out others with their fur babies. If requested, I’ll send pictures and videos of your pet’s day to help put your mind at ease while you’re away. I’m comfortable walking dogs and also love to go for runs if your dog is up for it! Feel free to reach out with any questions! I’m off every other weekend and only work three days a week, giving me plenty of time and opportunity to help care for your pet! Animals boarded in my home must be fully vaccinated and friendly with other animals. I’m also willing to come to your home to care for your pet.

About: Hello, my name is Savanna. I have just moved to the area for school. I am a doctoral student in Physical Therapy at LMU. I have owned several dogs throughout my life, including Miniature Schnauzers, Old English Bulldogs, and multiple Labrador Retrievers. Unfortunately, I had to leave my family dogs behind for school. My passion for dogs extends beyond my own pets; I have also taken care of other people's dogs and worked as a Veterinary Technician. With a few years of experience in pet care, I've helped several families by looking after one to three dogs at a time. I typically offered house visits or stayed overnight to ensure the dogs felt as comfortable as possible in their own spaces. Due to school, I am currently not working, and I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies whenever you need me. I'm currently a student, and I do not work. Since I am a full-time student, I have time around my classes to check in on your fur babies. Usually, I am free for the day around 3pm. I stay in an apartment complex, which is gated. We have plenty of yard space, as well as a trail within the courtyard. The complex is pet friendly with doggy bags available and a fenced dog park. I do not own my own pets, nor do I have kids. I am open to house visits at the client's home as well, which I believe might be easier for the pet.
