Pet care experience

Purr-fect care for furry friends!

I have had pets all my life and love taking care of them! Big dogs have always been in my family as well as cats, and I currently have a small dog with a huge personality, so I can help with all sizes! I currently have 2 dogs named Mattie (chihuahua/jack russell terrier) and Millie (cattle dog/husky), 2 cats named Sassy and Snow, and 4 bunnies named William, Honk, George, and Nami. I am a huge advocate for rescue work and regularly foster cats and bunnies in my home. If your pet is boarded with me, they will not be in contact with any bunnies (unless you want them to!) because the bunnies have their own room!! When I was 14 I started pet sitting in my neighborhood to make extra money, and now that I am in college I need extra work. I work a part time job in downtown Knoxville, but it's fairly flexible so I can do walks and drop ins on my lunch breaks!! I have class during the semesters but I schedule my classes to allow for potty breaks for my clients! Pets that come to my home have the advantage of a huge dog park at my complex that they would love to play in as well as my 2 pups to keep them company while I am gone. I look forward to meeting you and your fur children!! I treat your pet like I treat my own!! When I start a new job or internship I make sure that they know I am leaving for my lunch break to take care of my pets as well as any current clients. In the client's home, I will respect your space and and only stay in the portion of the house you allow me to be in. I will follow the instructions given, and ask questions or text about any problems as they come! In my home, I have 2 dogs that will keep a new friend company. I am never gone for more than 4-5 hours at a time so I will also be there to play and take care of your pet!!

Kellie has been looking after our cats for years. She is very dependable and really good with animals. Our cats love her. And, me and my husband feel confident leaving our cats home whenever we travel, because we know they will be taken really good care of.

I work full time but am able to provide walks on lunch breaks if needed! I will always be open and up front about what my schedule looks like prior to confirming bookings or scheduling meet and greets.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kellie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like the owner to provide any treats and current food. I do not have breed preferences and I have bowls if needed! I would like to do a meet and greet so my dog's can meet yours to make sure they get along before the stay! No one likes every person they've ever met, and dogs don't either!!
