About: Hi y’all! I’m Maxie, I used to work as a CNA! I have raised all types of animals from age 5 up to my age now! I have lived on our farm in Tennessee for over 23 years! I’ve dealt with any situation you could think of! I LOVE animals! And getting to know them! Here at home, I am the go to girl for the neighborhood when anyone needs anything for their pets! I’m super good with animals and people! I have all the free time on my hands at any moment when YOU need me! I’m super reliable and trustworthy! And will get the job done! And your fur baby will have a new friend! I can’t wait to meet you and your pawfect babies! :) I’m a hard worker, and love spending the time with fur babies! I always make plans around the babies and allow time to be with them! Snuggles, lovens and anything you need I’m there! I have three of my own! I always make sure they are having fun even if that means sleeping, playing, walking even cuddling! They are treated as my own and loved to the max!
“Angel was great with my pup — played with him in the yard & sent picture and video updates. Very communicative, responsive, and professional. When I came home, my pup was happy as ever. I highly recommend Angel for housesitting. Thank you!”

“Amanda was awesome to my little geriatric dogs. They are spoiled rotten and have several quirks to their care. She stayed a week in my home and very attentive to everything asked of her. Highly recommend!”

“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”

“As usual, Allie is a rockstar and we couldn’t be happier with her level of care for our frenchies and cats! She consistently goes above and beyond as a house/pet sitter. Our fur babies love her and it is evident she loves them too. We are incredibly thankful we found her and will continue to call upon her when we have the opportunity to travel.”

“Perri has been amazing. She made the entire process easy, from the initial introduction to following up with us on a regular basis with updates and photos. Lots of photos! Our three dogs get so happy when she comes over to not only take care of basic needs, but to love on them and play with them. We would absolutely recommend Perri's care and service to anyone who is seeking more than just a pet-sitter, but being part of your pet-family.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have always been someone friends, neighbors, and family can rely on to help care for their pets. I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I aim to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8PM for dog walking, drop-ins, and pet care visits. I also have weekend availability but I’ll have to discuss it with my future clients first. I also offer overnight pet sitting in clients’ homes depending on your pet’s needs and comfort level. I enjoy building routines with pets and making sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I aim to be flexible, dependable, and communicative so both pets and owners feel comfortable and supported. I believe pets deserve patience, attention, and a safe, comforting environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending quality time with animals through play, walks, cuddles, and giving them plenty of affection and companionship. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions provided by owners to help pets feel secure and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I aim to create a calm, loving, and dependable environment where pets feel cared for and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of my pets for as long as I can remember. That moved onto actual sitting when I was in middle school. I have cared for elderly dogs, special needs animals, and puppies. I am reliable to take your overactive dog on the walk it needs and am comfortable with a multiple dog or mixed animal household. I am working part time in a pharmacy currently while I apply to pharmacy school. I have pretty flexible hours and am off most weekends! I have a small yard at my home and can easily crate your dog if needed. I live in a small safe neighborhood with many neighbors who also own pets.
“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”

“She was so good with our dog and cat. Our dog is very anxious and nervous with new people and by the end of day 1 she had her comfortable. So thankful she took such good care of the pets and house. She sent me a bunch of updates so I knew they were taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone to book with her.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends, family, and community members. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet seniors who need extra patience and attention. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away, and I’m confident handling a wide range of needs. With years of experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, I love giving them structure, play, and affection that keeps their tails wagging. I also have years of cat care experience and share my home with four of my own, so I understand their unique traits and needs. Whether you need dependable walks, overnight care, or daily visits, I’ll make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved like family! This is my primary job, so I'll have plenty of time to focus on your fur baby's needs! I'll be available most days including weekends, at most times of the day. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while maintaining a clean and respectful environment. I follow each pet’s routines closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs—so they feel secure and cared for. I am reliable, attentive, and conscientious, making sure to tidy up after myself, keep your home organized, and treat your space with the same respect I would my own. You can trust that your pets will be loved and your home will be well cared for while you’re away.
