Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pets, My Passion!
Looking for someone who will love and care for your animals like family? That’s me! With a degree in Animal Science from the University of Tennessee and 25 years of pet sitting experience—including work as a veterinary technician and barn manager. I bring both expertise and deep compassion to every animal I care for. I’ve looked after dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, mules, llamas, alpacas, goats, sheep, cows, chickens, turkeys, and emus. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m currently available full time and actively taking on new clients. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or has special needs, I tailor my care to meet their individual personality and requirements. If your dog loves the outdoors, I’m happy to include hiking or swimming in their routine—activities I enjoy regularly with my own dog. I began pet sitting at age 12 and have built a life and business around what I love most: caring for animals. As a self-employed professional, I understand the value of trust. I always leave your home cleaner than I found it and gladly handle extra tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, and taking out the trash. My goal is simple: to give your pets the attention, safety, and joy they deserve while giving you peace of mind. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry, hoofed or feathered family!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. I believe every animal is unique, and I let them guide me to what they need—whether that’s extra playtime, quiet companionship, or special care. Every situation is different, and I prioritize flexibility and individualized attention to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Thyra house sat my 150 pound German Shepherd and my 6 pound gray tiger cat for me for a week. My pets and my home have never been so well cared for . She sent me updates and photos twice daily so I felt as Comfortable as they did! My Shep is extremely reactive and on a number of meditations. She handled both his behavior and his treatments like the professional she is…and he loves her . Even my shy, skittish cat loves her! My furry kids fell in love with her. When I returned home both they and my home were in such great condition! I am so grateful to know Thyra and we are all looking forward to having her with us for a very long time!
Exceptional dog sitting/housesitting service! Thyra, paid attention to every detail while we were gone. She took great care of our pet and our home.We received regular updates and our dog was so happy with his new friend. Would highly recommend her services.
Thyra was amazing with my pets. My dog has anxiety and Thyra understood him and had him relaxed quickly. I appreciate her patience.
Thyra was great - from the minute she stopped by for an introduction, she instantly connected with our girls (which isn't always an easy thing to do). She definitely understood how to relate well to them, and I felt completely at ease leaving her in our home with them for 5 days. On our 4th day away, I realized I had forgotten to tell Thyra to scoop the litter box on day 3....to which she replied she'd already been doing it every day since we left! What a relief. We came home to a clean home, clean sheets on the bed (amazing!!!), and happy pets. What more could you ask for? We'd definitely hire Thyra again. 👍
Thyra was able to take care of our pets with short notice. That is very much appreciated. As before, she took great care of Max and Alaska, and communicated with photos and videos. They were very happy when I came home.
Thyra did an amazing job with our dog Titus! She sent regular updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure Titus was as happy as can be! We never had any worry about Titus when we were gone and will Definitely book Thyra again next time we are out of town! We could not recommend her more!

I am available full time for pet sitting and do not leave for periods of longer than 4 hours. In addition to pet and house sitting I run a concierge service where I help people with various projects and never schedule long days.
