About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to massive English Mastiffs. I’ve also had cats and other small animals, though my cat experience is more limited. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior dog with a routine, or a shy fur baby needing a gentle touch—I treat every pet like family. I know each animal has their own personality, and I take time to understand what makes yours feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I have experience with senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets with big personalities—including my own temperamental dog. Because of this, I only offer in-home sitting (in your home), not boarding. I also offer drop-in visits on weekends only, as I work full time Monday through Friday (9am–6pm) in Cedar Bluff and live in Maryville. I’m dependable, flexible with short notice, and great with communication. I also know how important it is for you to feel confident when you're away, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. Let’s chat and schedule a meet-and-greet—I’d love to connect with you and your four-legged family! I work full time Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm in Cedar Bluff, so I’m available for overnight in-home sitting during the week and drop-in visits on weekends only. Because I live in Maryville, I try to stay within a reasonable driving distance for services. I’m happy to discuss what works best for your pet’s routine and find a schedule that fits us both! When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making them feel safe, secure, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your routine as closely as possible—from feeding schedules and potty breaks to walks and playtime—because consistency helps pets feel at ease while you're away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. I make sure doors stay locked, your space stays clean, and your pet is never left unattended longer than discussed. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. Because my own dog is temperamental, I don’t offer boarding. This allows me to focus completely on your pet in their own space, where they’re most comfortable.

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.

“Booked on short notice. Yslays was able to make it work. She took great care of my pup and never missed an appointment. Will definitely recommend as well as use her again next time I have to travel. Thank you!!”


“Another great experience with Veronica! This time she came early to learn how to give my cat his meds and then was able to add on an extra day of drop-in visits on really short notice over the holiday season!”

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: 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 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 have been the go to dog sitter in my area, I have stayed places for weeks or just a few days! I have worked with all sorts of dogs big and small, and all sorts of breeds! I usually spend the night in most places, but also have just stopped by for food and potty breaks! My phone contacts have doubled since becoming a dog sitter and would love to add more! I work as a nanny in the Knoxville area, some days I work 9 hours some days I only work a couple, if you are okay with leaving your dog for a workday I’m the gal for you, I know my schedule in advance so contact me before booking! I loveeeee instructions! They make things easier for me, you and the dog! Feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, sleeping set up. I love to know as much as I can so everything runs smoothly!! I love going on walks, cuddling, taking them in the car(if they like it) or whatever you usually do with your pet!

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: What sets me apart is the genuine love and personalized care I give each pet. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, because to me, they are! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need extra training and playtime to senior dogs who require a little extra patience, gentleness, and medication management. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or special care, I go the extra mile to make tails wag! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I currently have full availability and do not have other work commitments. This allows me to be highly flexible and fully dedicated to meeting the needs of the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I’m able to adapt to any schedule to ensure consistent, attentive, and loving care. I live in an apartment with my own two dogs that are super friendly and eager to play with other dogs. We have two dog play parks to get all the zoomies. I also am happy to dogs to parks or walks around your neighborhood or simply just into the backyard. Whatever your preference I can provide!

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.
