About: "If having a soul means to be able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans." ~ James Herriot Services Provided: Dog Walking, Daily Visits, Potty Breaks and short overnights. I am a dog owner and animal lover. The safety of your pet is my number one priority, with comfort and FUN coming in 2nd and 3rd. I provide drop in services that include dog walks, feeding, refreshing water bowls and PLAY TIME. I will treat your pet as I would my own (Ruby, the Chocolate Lab Extraordinaire). I work for a caterer, so my schedule is very flexible. Animals have always been a big part of my life and I couldn't imagine it any other way.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have grown up with a range of pets in the home! Now as an adult, I have 2 dogs at home and classroom pets at work! I love having animals in my space and routines. I have watched pets for coworkers, family and neighbors with ranges of needs. I’ve been a 1st grade teacher for 6 years. During June and July, I am off for the summer and would love to make extra cash and get to know the pets in the neighborhood! I have a fenced in backyard with 2 dogs that spend most of their time inside. My home is a very pet friendly environment and comfortable space for pets. Both of my dogs are fixed and very friendly with other dogs. They are used to dog parks and neighborhood walks. I live in a neighborhood with 2 parks that are a 5 min walk and a dog park!

About: I’m 50 years old and retired Army and now educator. I’ve always loved dogs. I have years of experience in dog rescue. I’ve had more fosters and transported more rescues than I can even remember. You can trust me to take great care of your dog and I’ll make sure they get a great walk most days weather permitting. We also have a large fenced yard. My wife who is an Army veteran and works from home will be with your dog most of the day, if not all day, and will often assist with walking and feeding. I live in the Dalton area so any surrounding areas are ok. I understand your pet is family and I’ll treat them as such. Please keep me in mind for all your dog walking and pet sitting needs. I’m looking forward to helping take care of your furry family members. Daily walks when weather permits and lots of play time. Feeding depending on owner/parents instructions. Some things depend on conditions like the weather, but your dog or dogs will get lots of attention. Lots of playtime and attention. Daily walks-at least one, sometimes two a day. We have a large fenced in backyard for lots of playtime. Your dog will be treated like one of our own and our dogs are family.

About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!

I have an opening availability during the day and night shifts. So I have plenty of time to spend with the animals . . . I am flexible with each dogs schedule as all dogs have different needs.

About: I’m a 44 year-old pet lover with no kids of my own—my heart belongs to Oly, my service-trained Aussie Doodle! Growing up with dogs has given me a lifelong love and understanding of our furry friends. As the owner of an online business, I work from home and have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and play. After seeing how much joy and confidence training brought to Oly and our bond, I’m inspired to start my own training journey to help other dogs and their owners. Whether it’s fun adventures, learning new skills, or cozy downtime, your pup will get all the love, care, and attention they deserve while they’re with me! I have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adapt to your puppy’s needs throughout the day. My own dog is fully trained and comfortable around all kinds of animals, so your pup will have a calm and friendly environment to thrive in. I provide comprehensive care for my own dog by grooming and trimming his hair and nails myself, ensuring he’s always comfortable and well-maintained. I also keep up with his training regularly, which has made him a well-behaved companion who accompanies me everywhere. Since I work from home, I’m able to offer plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, and relaxation. When caring for others’ puppies in their home, I bring the same level of attentiveness and dedication, tailoring my approach to meet each puppy’s unique needs while ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy.

I would do whatever the clients normal routine to the best of my abilities and to best fit my schedule.

I typically do not board other pets simply because I do not have a fenced in yard, however i have done it in the past. I have dogs and cats that are very pet friendly.

About: Professional, Empathic Petcare 🥰🐾 From an Expert who worked with veterinarians for 3 years and has been grooming dogs for 11 years (that's me ❤️) and special interest in holistic medicine and nutrition. My petsitting and grooming focuses on the health and emotional well-being of your baby. They'll be having a fun vacation in my home or have their fun pet nanny come to them🥰 🐾 Pet care fits into my daily schedule very well, as I make my own hours, leaving me more time to prioritize your fur baby 🥰 They'll be staying in my comfortable, 2 bed 1 bath home on 1/2 acre with fenced in backyard. Not to be left unattended in the yard since it is made from garden fencing, and small dogs unable to climb fencing is preferred. Fence climbing dogs should not come here because there is a fast road adjacent to the slower road that I live on. When I leave to run errands I will sequester my cats in another room from the dogs. I go with the flow, and understand every animal will behave differently so please let me know if your baby has any special needs or habits!

About: I’m the type of person that will bring home random animals just so they have a home and someone to care for them. All my animals are rescues bc I really love animals more than people.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 and that included walking, bathing, feeding and playing with them. I’ve have experience with dogs with medical needs as well as dogs of all sizes. I know some basic training for puppies and younger dogs. My favorite part of pet sitting is getting to know the dog’s unique personalities! I currently am not working for the summer, as i do attend college and work in the spring and fall. I’m very available and flexible! When caring for pets I make sure to follow their routine, including feeding, exercise, and bathroom breaks, to keep them comfortable. I provide attention and affection through playtime or companionship and make sure to look for any signs of discomfort. I ensure the pet’s environment is safe by removing potential hazards and following any specific instructions from the owner.

About: I have worked at a kennel where I did daily feedings, walks, medications, baths, and nail trimmings. Now I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, that are all house trained and very well behaved. I am a stay at home mom who only leaves the house for groceries and school pick ups for my kids. We don’t go on trips or travel that much. So I am very dependable on being available for your fur baby. I have a big fenced in back yard in a nice neighborhood. I do have 3 dogs( Great Dane, Blue Tick hound, and a Walker tree hound). We also have 2 cats that are inside/outside cats. All of our animals are great with new animals. We do have a large crate if that is something you’re interested in.

About: Since I was a child we always had a dog. I grew up with a Rottweiler named Bama. I cared for him my entire childhood. My aunt had pigs, rabbits and other farm animals. When she went on vacation I would care for them. My love for animals only grew! I spent time reading in the encyclopedia and other animal books. I have also worked as a dog groomer and enjoyed it. Although I love dogs, I really enjoy cats and kittens! My favorite cats are long haired cats! I have experience in being a pet nanny as well. I have flown from Atlanta to California with a pet in cabin. I have also traveled in vehicle from Georgia to Indiana with a pet, among various other states! I have administered booster vaccinations, insulin injections, oral medications and dewormer to pets.

Caring for animals is a natural passion I have. I have also groomed dogs for over 6 years. Small/medium and large breeds. I have my own grooming table, clippers and brushes. I personally have 3 miniature schnauzers, Ragdoll cat and a Doberman puppy. I have been caring for my friends dog for the past 6 months until he comes back to Tennessee.

I’m just a few miles away! Pretty open schedule! I have 4 dogs and cat at my home. I do have a fenced in yard. I crate my personal dogs if I’m away for safety reasons. My cats free range in my home.

If your pet requires medication I send pictures/videos with date and time stamp to you to ensure your pet is properly cared for!! I also will send pictures and videos throughout the day if requested! I do like to do a meet and greet before I accept a job. I do this to not only get acquainted with the pet, but also put the owners mind at ease. It is never easy leaving your pet(s) with someone. I do my best to send pictures/videos throughout the day. If you do not want me to please let me know beforehand as I do not want to be a pest!

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole entire life and love playing with, caring for, and with interacting them. Animals are precious souls and deserve to be treated as such. I love walking, playing fetch, and interacting with them! I am completely free every day of the week (Monday through Sunday) at any time. I can drop in, walk your pet(s), or stay overnight. I feed, play with, and take them out to potty. Oh, and don’t forget lots of snuggles! I also clean up any mess(es) they may create or leave behind, so your house will be left the way I found it (or better). Currently, my schedule is completely free and open. I am available any day(s) of the week (Monday-Sunday), and am available for any time of the day. I care for the pets in the client’s home(s) in the way that they care for them. ie. If they require a leash to go outside then I will always put the leash on, never leave the door open if they are runners, etc etc.
