House Sitting in Loudon

“This was our first time using Karen and our Jack Russell pups seemed very comfortable with her. One of them doesn't make friends easily with strangers but was laying at her feet soaking up petting after about 10 minutes. Karen took great care of our home and pets while we were away.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. Some breeds that I’ve worked with include Pit Bulls, Border Collies, a Great Pyrenees, Pomeranians, Boston Terriers, German Shepherds, a Belgian Malinois, Huskies, and more! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

“Kim is wonderful! It's the first time I have left my pets with a hired in house pet sitter in a long time but felt very at ease with Kim. My dog is 15 years old and has good days and bad days so I wasn't sure how she would handle a pet sitter but she was well taken care of. I was sent many pics over the 5 days of my pets being comfortable and loved on. Will be hiring again for sure!”

“Alexa was amazing! She was super flexible for my changing schedule, and send pics of my puppy throughout the day. He was super happy and calm when I got back, and seem to really enjoy hanging out with her! Would definitely recommend 💓”

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.

“Kiersten is an accomplished young woman with a gift caring for animals. I have a skittish rescue cat who thrived under Kiersten's care. I would have her take care of Scooter again and highly recommend her to others”

“Cheryl was incredible! I was apprehensive to leave my two golden retriever fur babies with someone I didn't know but I needed to leave town last moment and had an early morning departure. Cheryl was able to meet with my dogs the evening before I left and won them over instantly. They didn't want her to leave, which showed me that she truly has a passion for dogs. She spent quality time with them, playing with them and giving them the attention they craved. The three days she took care of the dogs, it was evident that she truly spent quality time with them. So much so that for days after I got home, they were constantly waiting by the window, waiting for her return.”

“Stephanie was amazing with our sweet, old pup! She took such gentle care of him and didn't seem bothered by the extra steps you need to take with old dogs. We were so nervous to leave him, but we were relieved to know he was in good hands. She is sweet, dependable, reliable and responsive. Highly recommend!”

“Lydia did an outstanding job, taking care of our boys while we were gone! Our house and our boys were in excellent shape when we walked in. So excited to have met Lydia and now have someone we can trust to stay with the boys so we can travel! I definitely think we missed the boys more than they missed us because Lydia was here. Would hands-down recommend her to anyone I know and will ask her to come back and stay with the boys again soon!”

Jennifer H.

“Caterina was wonderful!! She sent me pictures daily of my little babies, she was responsive, and just all around very sweet. I would recommend her to anyone and I definitely had peace of mind knowing she was caring my babies!!”

“April was really great. She took care of ritz like he was her own. She played with him, gave him treats and loved on him. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Wendy is excellent with my two dogs, is caring with my home, and keeps me well informed while I am way. I appreciate how responsive, accountable, and trustworthy she is. I recommend Wendy.”

About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.

About: Hi there! I’m Deaf, 20 years old female. Ever since I first can remember, I always love to be around animals. Growing up, we have two amazing dogs, Pogo and Molly. (Unfortunately, Molly passed away last year.) Later on, while I was in middle school, we got amazing family cat, Zuzu. We used to take care of goats. (Tons of babies!) I would sometime going to neighbor and take care of their horses. I always took the offer to take care of dogs for neighbor while they are on vacation. I love to meet new animals everyday. There are couples of time where stray pets wander to our yard. I would take most responsibility to take care and make sure they are okay till they find their home. I used to volunteer at shelter animals and take some course for Vet assistant. I’m very flexible and faster to learn. (All we need to do is communicate through phone text or write paper!) I’m available at any points. I’m willing to work from early morning to midnight during weekdays and weekends. I would like if you let me know 3-4 days in advance. I am committed to giving pets my full attention. I would absolutely love walking them and feeding them, and I will make sure they always have fresh water. If you have a brush for dogs or cats, I would be happy to groom them as well. I will ensure they are okay and immediately let you know if anything seems wrong. I am attentive to their behavior, noticing if they need space or are hungry, and I will give them a calm, safe environment if they are nervous or uncomfortable around strangers.

“Chelsea is awesome! Super attentive, great communication and lots of pics and updates. She was really sweet to my babies giving them lots of love. Will definitely use again!”

About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another.

About: My family has kept a household dog for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs has left me with the passion to care for and love on any pup that I cross paths with. I already pet sit for all of my friends that have dogs, so I thought I would take on more clients. The more, the merrier🥰 I currently work in Tellico Village doing hair four days a week. Friday Saturday and Sunday can be your get away, and my days to play with your pups! I’m also open to coming after 5 throughout the week. As I will be providing services in your home, I would want to keep the dog’s routine the same and follow whatever you see fit. I am very big on having and following directions, so don’t be afraid to tell me what to do!

“Ella was super great with our little puppy! We are brand new to the area with no family or close friends, but Ella made it so easy to leave our little guy in her care! She did what we asked, sent pictures, & stayed in touch with us throughout the weekend! We definitely recommend and would use her again!”

“Kelly was wonderful! Sent pictures and was available last minute following directions to a T…I would use her again in a heartbeat”

About: I have trained and had dogs until last year. With my travel schedule it isn't fair to keep an animal boarded. I haven't met many dogs that aren't drawn to me. They are a better judge of character than most people. I work from home and only leave yo go deliver quilts or to the fabric and grocery store. I need a reason to take better walks and naps. I do not have a dog currently, and my yard is not fenced, but am a huge fan of leashes and walking cords to give dogs their space to do their business.
