Pet Sitting in McCookville

“Susan was great! We arranged the visit in less than 24 hours. She communicated quickly and confirmed after asking/answering all the right questions. She arrived promptly at the agreed upon time. She sent me photos while visiting with our pup too. I would absolutely use Susan again!”

About: Dogs have been a part of me since I was born. I have over 25 years of experience with many breeds, from pups to senior dogs. I’ve dealt with many issues relating to health, nutrition, surgeries (recovery), cancer treatments and more. Dogs generally gravitate to me and I’ve been blessed with their unconditional love my entire life. It truly is my passion to help you in any way I can with your special family member. I look forward to meeting you and your Dog! I’m currently available 7 days a week, 6am to 10pm for walking, playing, feeding, to give medications, etc. Also available to house/pet-sit overnight and extended stays while you travel. I’m a firm believer in caring for your dog in their own environment. It’s less stress for your pet. I follow your pets routine per your instructions. In certain situations, I will consider taking a pet in to my home for care if needed, tho prefer coming to you. I’m also available to travel world-wide with you and your pet if needed. Think of me as your Dog’s PA. I am available during the week and weekends from 8am-8pm. Flexible with pick-up and drop-off times as your schedule may change. My clients are mostly from out-of-town and here to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains! I’m here for your pet so you can enjoy the best Gatlinburg and surrounding areas has to offer. Flexible with switching dates, days and times, ALWAYS. I am always 100% focused on giving your Pet(s) my full attention: exercising, playing,feeding, walking, cuddling, light grooming: brushing, wiping down after walks, and Spalon Message.

“I could tell immediately that our dog was in good hands with Dawn. She was responsible, responsive and flexible with our plans. Would absolutely hire again!”

“She was on time for our appointment and she was very patient getting my dog to warm up to her. I can say I would use her again and would recommend her to others.”

About: I will give your dog the attention they need while either here for doggie daycare or over night stays you furry baby will be well taken care of while on my watch! I have a fully remote position! I am always home and willing to board or watch your furry baby for the day and I will make sure they are well cared for while under my watch! I hold the utmost respect for my own as much as yours! I would make sure your furry baby is taken care of as well as your property if house/pet sitting!

“Leslie agreed to meet the dogs before her first visit and is very understanding of their different needs. She gave them more time to play than I expected and was patient with my fearful dog. Thank you!”

“We love Cara and will continue to use her on our trips. She is caring, prompt, takes great pictures, and is very patient. Her communication is excellent!”

“Jen is the most Wonderful walker I have ever used. She picks up poops on walks, she watches my dogs needs while walking, she helped one my dogs to conquer her fears (no other walker or myself could do). My dogs are medium & large. Never been an issue for her to have complete control over them while walking. She has came to my home to walk them separately. My dogs will fight one another and are always kept apart. When she comes to walk them and I'm not here, she keeps separate while rotating them for walks. I've never trusted anyone to do that before. She is a dog guru. Meaning she is in constant control and always aware of how dogs are responding to situations. And if a situation happens she does what's best for my pet... No hesitation. She treats my babies as if they were her own. I HIGHLY recommend her. And my babies love love love her. If you are looking for a trustworthy person to care for your dogs as if they were babies, then Jen is your person. Look No Further and book her asap. We all love you Jen !!!!”

“Janine was wonderful and super flexible to offer drop-in visits to our pups in our AirB&B while our family had a day exploring non dog-friendly trails. She sent plenty of pics and notes and the dogs were much happier when we returned.”

About: i have many years of experience caring for animals from guinea pigs all the way to a Great Dane. I have been a veterinary assistant but I currently work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have open availability. My current job is extremely flexible. I have my own pets that I care for as well as other pets with my current role at the boarding and daycare facility. My pets at my home are very well taken care of with a fenced yard. I would prefer to watch/care for your fur babies at your home as my outside dogs are not always friendly to new comers

“Thank you so much for taking care of our fur babies while we were up here on vacation!”

Lee L.

“She was so great to our 3mo pup who had to come on vacation because she’s still too young for boarding. She was easy to communicate with, came to our cabin, and was very kind to our babe.”

About: I grew up with yorkies and love spending time with my families black lab! I’ve done a great job at walking, feeding and bathing these pups, and I hope to make them feel loved and safe. I have a full-time job, and want to extend my services since I enjoy taking walks/hikes in the national park and surround areas after work and on weekends. I am great with instructions and being quick to take action and stay on top of things. I believe in leaving places better than you found them, and being extremely attentive and caring.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 25 years. I've bottle fed newborn puppies when their mother couldn't. I've potty trained puppies, walked dogs for friends and neighbors when needed. I currently own a standard poodle that I am training to be a therapy dog. I work fulltime weekend nights from home. I'm available to walk and play with your dog weekends 10am-6pm. I'm available anytime of day and evening Monday -Friday. I'm available to dog sit in your home where your pet will feel safe and secure. If you'd like to meet in person first I'd be happy to set up a day and time that works best for you.

“Kim is awesome! Very kind and took great care of our dog.”

“Christina is the best! Super short notice, we were visiting on vacation and on an holiday! My babies loved her. Great communication would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! We’ve always had a family dog…from Boxers, to Dachshunds, and tiny Yorkies too! There’s nothing better than sweet snuggles and fun with the pups! I’m also a “Dog Aunt” to my brother and sister-in-laws 5 awesome pups-Walker (Blue Heeler/Border Collie mix), Max & Marley (brother+sister litter mate Australian Shepards), Merritt (Standard Poodle), and Mavis (Cockapoo)! From tiny to large pups, I love them all!! I’m a full-time Respiratory Therapist and absolutely love what I do! I’d love to be able to spend some time with some awesome doggies in my free time and on off days! :) I have a fenced in yard at my house with plenty of room for the babies to run! I have a 2 year old Yorkie Poo as well as a 12 year old Mini Dachshund!

About: I’ve worked with dogs for years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.

“Kaiden was very nice with our dogs and took them out and watered them, played with them, and loved on them. He also included pictures of our dogs. We will be using him again!”

Leslie O.

“Ami was great with our 2 cats. She sent us pictures & videos so I could see how much they trusted & loved her. She played with them & would pet them which they love. The litter boxes were cleaned & they were fed on a daily basis. Highly recommend her & I will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Ami for taking good care of our fur babies.”
