The Fun Doesn’t Stop When You Leave
Hi there! I’m a proud Graduate Assistant for the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team, and when I’m not on the court supporting our athletes, I’m loving on fur-babies of all kinds! I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends, teammates, and coaches. And now I’m excited to open my schedule to new four-legged friends here on Rover. Growing up around animals and helping care for everything from playful puppies to older pets needing a little extra TLC, I’ve developed a true passion for making animals feel safe, happy, and loved, whether that means long walks, endless belly rubs, or a cozy cuddle session. Being part of a high-level athletics program has taught me the importance of routine, dependability, and high energy, all of which I bring to pet care, too. I’m organized, calm under pressure, and always ready to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

Mashayla was great with my dog! She always kept me updated throughout the day and I never had to worry about her. I would gladly have her watch my dog again!

Schedule
As a Graduate Assistant for the Lady Vols basketball team, I keep a structured but flexible schedule that makes it easy to include pet care throughout my week. I’m usually up early and active during the day, so I can fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets before practices, between team responsibilities, or in the evenings. Weekends are wide open for me right now — from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening (and even into Monday mornings), I’m completely free and available for overnight stays, extended visits, or anything extra your pet might need. Honestly, spending time with animals is one of the most relaxing and fun parts of my routine, and I love being able to give them my full attention when I’m not in basketball mode!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a clean, cozy condo in a pet-friendly area that’s perfect for regular strolls and bathroom breaks. Whether your pup enjoys short potty walks or long, sniff-filled adventures, I’ll make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. Inside, your pet can expect a calm, safe, and welcoming space where they’ll never feel alone. I love creating a peaceful environment where animals can relax, snuggle up on the couch and feel totally at ease. I stick to whatever routine your pet is used to — feeding schedules, potty breaks, bedtime snuggles — to help them feel right at home. Whether we’re enjoying a walk around the block, playing with toys, or just relaxing together, your pet will be treated like family every step of the way.
A typical day
Every day I spend with pets is centered around making them feel safe, loved, and happy! A typical day starts with a nice walk or potty break, followed by breakfast and some cuddle time. I always make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep things stress-free for them while you’re away. Depending on your pet’s energy level and personality, I’ll tailor the activities to fit their needs. For high-energy pups, we’ll go on long walks, play fetch or tug-of-war, and enjoy interactive games that help burn energy in a fun way. If your dog enjoys mental stimulation, I can incorporate puzzle toys, sniff walks, or even a little basic training to keep their mind sharp. For more relaxed or senior pets, we’ll enjoy slower-paced walks, lots of love and attention, and peaceful downtime with belly rubs and gentle companionship. I make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, calm, and cared for. And of course, you’ll get regular photo updates and messages—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands!
