Pet care experience

Your pet’s new best friend!

Hi there! I’m Ansley. I live in South Knoxville and work in animal science. I have over 10 years of experience caring for other people’s animals, and nearly 22 years of caring for my own pets. I worked in both small and large animal vet clinics as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable giving medications and treating ill or elderly pets. I have two Labrador retrievers (6 years old and 6 months old) and a Manx cat that needs extra attention due to some health issues. I’m a very active person and frequently walk or run with my own dogs, so if you’re just looked for the occasional walk to get your pup’s energy out, I’m your gal! I also have a fenced in backyard so if you’re interested in a play date, message me and we can work something out! My boys love new friends. Unfortunately, my cat does not do well with other cats, but he LOVES dogs. He was a rescue as a kitten from the clinic I worked in, so he grew up around the dog boarding kennels and 100% thinks he’s one of them. I know Rover is for dogs and cats, but if you or anyone you know is looking for assistance with farm animals, I can help there too. I currently work in the dairy industry but have experience caring for all livestock species. I have BSA and MS degrees in Animal and Dairy Science.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’m happy to provide drop in visits and walks in client’s homes. As mentioned previously, I do have animals of my own and would be open to bringing a dog to my house if they are friendly and play well with others. I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs love. I cannot bring other cats into my house due to my own cat’s distaste for others, but he is fine with dogs.

Highly recommend Ansley! Great communication and kept us updated. It felt like leaving our pup with an old friend not a stranger. Will continue to use in the future!

I would highly recommend Ansley for any of your pet needs. We have used her to come to our house & take care of our pets while we have been out of town. She is trustworthy, dependable, super friendly with the pets & since she works at a Vets office & cares for pets, is very knowledgeable. If you hire Ansley, you are in good hands.

I like to know the age, temperment, and breed of your pet so I know how to approach them as a stranger during our first meeting. If medications are needed or there are any medical concerns, please let me know in advance.
