“Here’s a great review you can use for your dog sitter: Review: [Dog sitter’s name] was absolutely amazing! Super reliable, very communicative, and gave my dog lots of love and attention. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”


“Chloe took care of our 3 dogs and she was wonderful! She was reliable and kept us updated with texts and photos. Our dogs loved her. She went above and beyond to take care of our pups and we would highly recommend her!”


“We hired Angela for a four-day weekend to care for our two dogs, one of whom is older, while the other is three years old. We were absolutely delighted with her services. Angela stayed at our house, walked our dogs, and maintained everything perfectly. Upon our return, we found our home in immaculate condition. Thank you so much, Angela! We would definitely use her again in the future.”


“Claire was absolutely amazing with our babies! It gave us such peace of mind to know they were being well taken care of and loved. She gave us updates, but didn't have to be in constant communication. We will definitely be calling Claire again!! 🐾🐾”


“We needed a pet sitter on a holiday with very short notice, I was so thankful that Jolie was available and willing to watch our girls. She sent several updates, and I could tell that she truly cares for the animals. We will definitely book again with her in the future!”


About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.

About: Hi, I’m Monica! I live in Oak Ridge and absolutely love meeting new pets of all breeds and personalities. I’ve cared for up to six dogs at once and have experience with a variety of breeds including Chows, Boxers, Labradors, Great Danes, and Labradoodles. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime in the yard, or little adventures, I make sure your pet stays happy, active, and loved. I’m also experienced with medication schedules and special care needs—one dog I watched had thyroid issues and needed medication at the same time every day, so I know how important consistency is for their health and comfort. I work from home, which means I’m super flexible and able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work from home so I can be super flexible, especially if your dog needs medication at a certain time of the day or week. I care for pets in their home by following their regular routine, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and keeping their space clean and safe. I make sure they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. At this time, I am not offering pet care in my own home.

“Randi stayed at our house for a week to housesit and petsit our 3 dogs and backyard birds. We don't often travel so it was an adjustment for us and for our pets but Randi was reliable, calm, and patient and had everything under control. She gave plenty of updates during the week so we weren't worried during our time away and we returned to a house that was clean and tidy, all of the plants were thriving and all pets were happy and healthy. If Randi is available to take care of our pets, we might try to travel again!”


“Stephanie done a terrific job with all 4 of my babies. They all have a few quirks but she just jumped in and had all 4 attached to her hip. So happy I was able to find such a caring person to watch them while I was away. Highly recommend !”


“Mandy was an amazing sitter for my cat Scooter. Not only did she do check-ins/feedings twice daily, but she also spent the night a few times with him so he wouldn’t be alone too long. I could tell from the photos that he was comfortable with her and not too anxious about me being gone. He’s usually an anxious boy, so that was a huge win for him! Mandy was communicative, professional, friendly, and dependable. She even washed the bedding she used for me! I’m so thankful Mandy could be his sitter while I was out of town.”



“Jasmine stayed with our cat and dog while we were away for just over a week. She gave us some short updates while we were away. When we returned the boys looked fit and happy and the house was well kept. We appreciated her dedication to use her lunch break to take our dog for a walk. I'll be using Jasmine again!”


“Naomi was fantastic and took excellent care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were traveling. Kept everything very clean and neat highly recommend her for any time you need to travel and want to make sure your fur babies are well taken care of”


“Kristen did the most incredible job taking care of our two large dogs! She sent photos, kept us updated, and made us feel so at ease during our trip. The house is spotless and the dogs are very happy. Thank you Kristen!”


About: I have grown up around dogs since I was a baby. My family was big in showing and grooming so I’ve always taken care of family/neighbors dogs when then would be away. I love to spend time and play with and care for them! I used to volunteer at a humane society feeding animals and cleaning cages and taking them out for playtime I am a junior in college at Middle Tennessee State university and have a fairly open schedule. I will not be able to stay all day at a house but nights are definitely possible! I do live in an apartment so overnight boarding will not be offered, but my cat loves exploring the house and has so much fun!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 8. My mother used to raise Yorkshire terriers and I was required to do a lot of help with them. (I have assisted in multiple birthings when I was little LOL) As a child, I was the neighborhood animal sitter. As an adult, I have pet sit with multiple animals, big and small. I truly have a love for animals and will always treat your animal as my own! I know when I go on vacations or out of town how stressful it can be to leave my animals. How stressful it can be to not know who will be able to take care of them and if they will be loved on while I’m away. I will always keep an open line of communication with you, send pictures to keep you in the loop and listen to the needs and wants you may have. Thank you for trusting me to care for your animals. Animals are family and I fully intend to treat them as my own! ALL dogs are required to be up to date on bordetella, hepatitis, rabies, distemper, parvo, and parainfluenza before booking. I will require proof of vaccines. ALL Cats and dogs are required to be on a monthly heartworm preventative and flea and tick medicine before booking. Please provide proof at booking. Lastly, if you are booking overnights in YOUR home.. please know my kiddos would be tagging along. They are extremely well behaved and will not harm anything. The only thing they will do is give your furry babies all kinds of extra lovin! If you are not comfortable with children being in your home(overnight) then I am unfortunately not the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pawsome friends🐾 I work full time, Monday- Friday typically 8-5. I do work away from home. I am able to do checkins, walks, or any other animal care before and after work. Weekends I have an open schedule! I am hoping one day, this will be my full time job with enough support and then I will be completely open! In my home, I do have 3 cats and 2 children. We all love animals! I do not have a fenced in yard. However, we do have a big yard for your animal to get exercise in or we can go for a walk around my neighborhood! If you bring your animal to my home, you are welcome to bring a crate or anything needed for your furry friends! I will only crate your animal at night if staying over night and during the day from typically 8-4 or 5 while I am at my full time job. At your home, I can do check ins and I will let your animal outside to use the bathroom, run around and play and get the brain stimulated for a few minutes. I can take your dog on a short walk, or long if needed. Play fetch. I can clean up puppy pads. Feed and water. Etc. whatever you may need, I can do. Just let me know the details. I will send you some pictures of your animals daily as a check in.
