“Cassandra did a very good job of taking care of me cat, Peaches and would use her again. She even was able to get Peaches to come out of hiding during visits which is no small accomplishment.”


“I absolutely love having Veronica as my cat sitter! Her notes are always detailed and her communication is amazing! She was willing to switch some things around to give my kitty some extra love! I’m pretty sure my cat started to love her more than he loves me! She will always be my go to cat sitter!”


“Our sweet girl Hazel recently lost her brother very suddenly. She has been struggling with anxiety and associated behaviors pretty bad. We hired Emery for daily drop-in’s to give our girl a little extra TLC. Emery has been so patient with Hazel, gently coaxing her outside even when she doesn’t want to go, and even helping us to figure out what her new preferences are. We are grateful for Emery’s attention to detail, her compassion towards Hazel, and responsiveness to us considering Hazel’s changing needs.”


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.

“Betty was incredible! She sat for my 3 cats while I was out of town on a work trip for a week. I received daily updates and very cute videos! I immediately felt like my home and pets were in good hands! Will absolutely be booking again when I travel 💜”


About: I have had dogs around for most of my adult life. I raised a small cocker spaniel who had medical issues and required extra attention. Recently we have raised a bernadoodle puppy, with the help of our dog friends! I also share custody of a boxer and Boston terrier. I am a graduate student at the University of Tennessee. I have a very flexible schedule and come throughout the day or evenings as needed! I’m very comfortable caring for pets and always make it a priority to follow any routines or instructions you have in place. I understand how important consistency is for animals, and I’m happy to stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special care your pet needs. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you're away.

“We recently moved to knew area, which meant getting a new pet setter. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met Amithyst. / She did a good job checking in on the cats every other day while we were out of town. Also she responded promptly when texted. / We’ll definitely use her services again.”


About: I am a life long pet owner who loves to watch my friend’s and family’s pets when they’re in need. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies, including fostering a cat for a friend for a few months while she was away. I am a fairly active person, so I like to go on long walks and play with very energetic animals, but I can also appreciate those who just like company or want their own space. Learning the habits, needs, and quirks of each animal is my favorite part of the job, so I can be sure your animal will get the exact kind of care they need to be happy while you’re away😊 I currently have an open schedule so I will have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur children! The only days that are busy for me are Sundays, but I will still have some time available. I will be going back to work after the new year and will be working second shift, so will have the majority of the day available then as well! I like to stick to the routines that your animals are already used to following as to reduce anxiety as much as possible while you’re away! I definitely think it’s important to give extra love and attention to show that I am a friend and am there to take care of them.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner. I hope to ease your worries by ensuring your pets are left in the best hands, and will care for them like I care for my own. I work 9-5 with remote flexibility and the ability to pop out and care for pets as needed - if I take a job, it means I can make it work. I like to approach a new home with cautious friendliness to make sure the animals there know I am only here to help (and give treats and pets!)

About: I stand out for my hands-on experience with senior and sick dogs, offering gentle, attentive care. I’m also known for being dependable, punctual, and trustworthy. I am currently in esthetician school part time, I have all the time to play with & make sure your pup is happy and healthy!!! I follow all instructions and notes from clients intently to ensure a positive, and safe experience in the clients home and for their fur baby!!!

About: I love caring for people and animals and I'm very outgoing and bubbly. I like being outside and going on hikes! I love going to dog parks with my dog and meeting all the cute dogs there! I’ve had a dog all my life and now I own my own dog he’s a golden doodle and he is my best friend! He has taught me responsibility and positive reinforcement by taking care of him daily and especially when he’s sick giving him medicine. I do positive reinforcement when teaching him how to correctly walk along side of me and how to act while other dogs are present! He’s reminded me to get outside and have fun more! He’s so sweet and I’ve grown so much because of him!

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I love playing with dogs and making sure they are comfortable and well taken care of . I’ve had English Setters, Golden retrievers, and Huskies. Although I do not have any dogs at the moment, I am able to help other owners take care of their four legged family members! I will treat your animals just the way you treat them, with kind and loving care. I enjoy taking dogs on on walks and can ensure that they will get the exercise they need and make sure to cater to any special needs your animal may need. I’m very good with dogs having a calm demeanor and environment for them making them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Vacations shouldn't just be for the pet parents, the pets should get a new fun experience too. This is why I strive to keep in step with your pet's routines whilst also adding some fun enrichment, ample physical activities, and extra helpings of love and attention. In addition to walks; if your dog is a social butterfly, like me, and they frequent the dog parks; let's go! I have a vehicle built for pet field trips/adventures! I have a gift for helping injured or sick animals recover as well , I just haven't had the opportunity to care for a special needs dog yet. That being said, I am willing to learn and follow your routines for them. I am very dedicated to learning more pet care skills. I even rehabbed an injured squirrel for about a year until she returned to the wild. So, I am skilled in helping pets that may need extra help/care or medical issues that require a little more attention. I am also a Licensed Massage and Cupping Therapist, though I am not certified specifically in pet massage, when I do give a dog a massage....They LOVE it! I am also willing to care for pets other than dogs or cats; within reason of course....not sure I am equipped for Lions, Tigers, or Bears... OH MY! So, reach out let's set up a meet & greet; I would love to come out and meet you and your pets to see if we are a good fit! I have most days free. I occasionally do some pick-up work on some nights here and there, however, it would not be for a great deal of hours, and I am able to get home (or to your pets) at a decent time on those evenings. I do prefer to meet both you and your pets first, before taking on a care request, to assess safety for myself and the pet as well as understanding their surroundings. This allows me and you to evaluate if we are a good fit. I believe this is the first step in creating a solid foundation for a safe and fun experience for all involved. Especially, until your pet(s) and I get to know each other better, I would say I am hypervigilant in the beginning; not just for safety precautions but also to understand their routines, needs, communication styles, learning styles, training levels, etc... I am at their side anytime we go out. Even if you have a fenced in backyard I will either be out there playing with them and helping them get in some physical activity or I watch them closely from a window or door. As we learn more about each other, I take great care in developing solid communication with your pet so that they can understand and respond well. The more "simpatíca" we are, the more trust is built, the better responds to commands, which in turn strengthen that foundation of safety. Beyond the pet safety, If I am house sitting for you, I strive to keep your home safe and clean. I will respect and protect your home as if it were mine. Even If I am not house sitting and only doing drop-ins or walks. I will stay observant and keep your home safe as well; let you know if anything seems amiss, grab your mail so no one knows you aren't at home, rotate which rooms lights are on in your house, etc... A safe environment means a safe pet! I am also good at communicating with the pet parents throughout my booked care time via pictures, videos, texts, and calls. My goal is to make sure no pet parents even have to wonder how their pet is doing. I prefer to keep you in the loop so it's not you having to reach out to me. Communication is key for creating the safest most comfortable environment for any pet.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all ages! Puppies, older dogs, dogs that need assistance, energetic dogs, and all kinds of cats! I love them all! I currently work part time fully remote! This means I can give your pets all the attention they need! I am currently in school and have classes during the day on Tuesdays/Thursdays. My number one goal is to have your pets feel as safe with me as they are with you. Keeping their same routine is essential in keeping them safe. I always follow a routine any any other steps to guarantee a safe pet!

About: Hi, I’m Whitney! I’ve spent about 10 years caring for animals in all kinds of settings—from full-service vet hospitals to boarding facilities, plus years of loving on friends’ pets. I’m comfortable with all ages and sizes, from wiggly puppies to wise old cats. Pet care is truly my passion, and I’m putting my free time toward what I love most—making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I offer leash-only walks (no fenced yard at home), can crate if needed, and always tailor my care to your pet’s routine. I treat every animal like family, because they deserve nothing less! I have the flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time to what I truly enjoy—caring for animals. It brings me so much joy knowing I’m helping pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I’m flexible and happy to provide care just the way you and your pet are used to. In my home, I can accommodate crate-trained pets who are friendly with other dogs. I keep things calm, safe, and tailored to their needs so they feel comfortable and at home.
