About: I am a recent UTK animal science graduate. I worked at a dog boarding and day care facility for a summer in 2023. I have dog sat all throughout my high school years and some in college. I worked with horses in the summer of 2024. I love animals and want to pursue a career in animal health! I am very passionate about animals! I am a very flexible person. I recently graduated from The University of Tennessee and am in the process of looking for jobs. Most of my days are pretty open. I am a very trustworthy and reliable person who will always have the animals best interest at heart! I love working with animals and I can’t wait to meet them! I have dog sat many times and am very good with watching over them.

About: Hello! I am Stephanie, a neuroscience/pre-med/psychology student at UTK! With my education, I apply it to my job as your caretaker. For as long as I can remember, we have always had fur babies in our house from cats to dogs to lizards and frogs! I remember every single baby having a significant contribution to my personality and who I am now. My current best friend is my cat Sashi! Sashi is a kitty I found as a stray around town. I took her in and the rest is history! Each pet is unique with their own quirks, personalities, and conditions. Sashi has separation anxiety, and I couldn’t imagine leaving her alone for a long period of time. I understand what it means to understand, take care of, and appreciate our fluffy friends that are in our lives! I have experience pet sitting animals of all kinds from farm animals, to big, playful dogs, to small, shy cats. I have taken care of for extended periods of time dogs with medical conditions such as seizures, paralysis, partial blindness, and behavioral issues with other dogs. I care for animals of all ages and sizes! I am very knowledgeable with cats in their behavior, body language, and physical well-being. I am very physically fit to be able to run or walk fast and long (no, seriously I can run 5 miles under an 8 minute pace) and lift a heavy amount of weight. No matter the task, I will have no problem! Besides occasional obligations from school, I have plenty of time every day to play, exercise, love on, and feed your fur-babies! I am available multiple hours throughout the day and can stay home full time around my school schedule! I provide services from your home for your pets comfort. I can drive pets if necessary. I will follow strict instructions, clean any mess, and become best friends with your companion. I provide all services from your home and can stay as long as needed that work within schedule! I request information about temperament with humans and other animals, potty training, temperament with car, any special quirks, allergies, any past trauma that is relevant, allergies, leash aggression, and any at home rules for furniture.

“Brooke did a wonderful job caring for our four dogs and our cat! They are a handful as two dogs are aging and slow moving, and three are on medications/supplements. We had her come three times a day to get them in and out, fed and watered. We’ll happily recommend her and use her services again. Thanks!”

“Tate was super helpful looking after my pups! Great communication and plenty of pics showing me how excited they were for the company. Highly recommend and will book again! Thanks Tate!!!”

“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”

Victoria A.

“Helena was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats! She was timely, kind, and great with following our care instructions! Our boys just took right to her! We were worried to leave them as our one cat needs medication daily, but Helena handled it with ease! We will definitely be booking with her again next time!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age, size, and personality since I was 10. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and families with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight stays, and I’ve also fostered dogs through local shelters. I’m attentive to medical needs and experienced with giving oral medications, topical treatments, and following detailed care instructions from vets and owners. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or a dog who just needs extra patience and reassurance, I love making every pup feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own. I work Monday–Thursday from 10 am–3 pm, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and check‑ins throughout the day. I also get a lunch break in the middle of my shift, so I’m often able to stop by for midday visits. On weekends, I’m fully available and love helping out whenever families need extra support. I also have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings, so I’m typically available for boarding or overnight stays any day of the week after 3 pm. My schedule makes it easy for me to give your pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and leashes to ensure no one slips out or gets into anything unsafe. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions exactly as you leave them — feeding schedules, medication routines, crate training, potty breaks, and any special rules you have. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets have a calm, loving environment with lots of supervision and structure. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, including those who need extra patience, medical attention, or a slower pace. Whether I’m staying overnight, dropping in, or taking your pup for a walk, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and completely at ease.

“Zo takes phenomenal care of my dog and I trust him 100% with his care. My dog loves to see Zo walk through the door and Zo displays uncommon kindness and generosity to make sure my dog is happy and healthy.”

“Skylar was absolutely incredible with our four dogs! She was available at the last minute for a family emergency. In the process, she updated me and shared some photos of some very happy babies. Our dogs warmed up to her very quickly! She was also very understanding when we came home sooner than expected. We will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Skylar for loving them as much as we do :)”

“Taylor did great with my very high energy dogs and even offered to take them on walks to get some exercise! Very reliable and sends pictures each time. Will definitely book again”

“Claire was great for our drop-in visit! She was reliable, checked in right on time, and kept us updated with clear communication. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

Shannon L.

“Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!”

Lisa H.

“She was great with our dog! Really went the extra mile when dog sitting. Took the dog out for walks and shared pictures when taking care of the dog!”

Caitlyn U.

“Thank you! I appreciated the detailed updates on my cat’s meal, water and potty breaks. I also saw in the photos Allison gave our cat affection/pets. Our cat liked the drop ins from the photos. Thank you, Allison!”

About: Hi, I’m Bella! I’m 23 years old and recently graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Now that I’m living in Knoxville full-time, I’m excited to spend more time doing something I truly love, caring for animals. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have a 10-year-old Lab/Blue Heeler mix named Ava and a 4-year-old cat named Pingly, and they both mean the world to me. I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feedings, playtime, medication administration, drop-in visits, or overnight care, whatever your pet needs to feel happy and comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care for every animal I meet. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet(s)! I’m also flexible with pricing when needed, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and I have a surplus of free time! I am able to stay overnight or do drop in’s whatever you need I can do it! I can do anything you need from me to take care of your pets! I will make sure your fur babies are happy and safe while under my care!

About: I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats, but also bunnies, goats, and a dog. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, and worked in both veterinary clinics and grooming salons. I'm a licensed veterinary technician, which means I am very comfortable giving medications as needed, and may even be able to trim nails or bathe dogs with an additional helper. I have taken care of cats, dog, horses, goats, a tortoise, and a few small pocket pets. I am comfortable with most species, but have limited experience with pocket pets, reptiles and birds. I'm currently in the process of looking for a full-time job, so I have more time than usual to take care of your pet(s)! When I get the full-time job, I will be more limited to dog-walking and drop-in appointments, with more availability on the weekends and holidays. I currently live in an apartment building, so I plan to mostly do dog-walking or drop-in apartments. I have a cat currently at my apartment, who prefers dogs over cats, but may get along with a cat with a careful introduction (she tends to be too playful at times).
