Dog Sitting Oak Ridge

About: I’ve always LOVED animals of any kind. (Used to want to be a vet but realized it was too hard to see animals in distress). We’ve had dogs and cats in our home since I was a little girl. I’ve had over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and other small pets for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a sweet spot for animals and would do my upmost best to ensure your baby is taken care of to the best of my abilities. I will treat your pet with the same care I would my own. My personality is this: patient, calm, gentle, and detail oriented. I also believe heavily in communication and will always appreciate a pet owner who also likes communication. Communication is very important to me because I want to make sure I can do my job to the best of my abilities. I currently have my own 1 year old terrier and have done everything from potty training, crate training and obedience training. I want all of my customers to rest assured their fur babies will get the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible so I can make the time to take care of your pets! I work throughout the week including some weekends and can take your pet out as frequently as they need. Just reach out and let me know what you’re looking for. I have a fenced in yard outside, suited for small to medium dogs. I also live in a house in a neighborhood that is suitable for walking your pet if you would like. I also make sure that my home is free of any dangers or anything toxic to any pets. I raised both puppies and kittens and know how to properly ensure animals are taken care of appropriately.

About: I’ve always been a fan of animals since a very young age and they tend to like me a lot so I’m hoping that you would give me a chance. I can make time for the animals before or after work, and I will be sure to spend time with them and enrich their lives. I will make sure that your pet feels like a part of the family, and if I am in your home, I will make sure that I treat it with respect.

“Emma was so responsive and reliable when I needed someone to drop in on my pup. I got lots of pictures and updates while I was away, which made the whole experience so much better. Emma put me at ease and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. When I was little my mom got me a dog that grew up with me for about 14 years. She was my best friend. I take great pride in taking care of pets and make sure that they are happy and healthy while in my care. I am currently working as a part time nanny which leaves me with a lot of free time. I am available to pet sit at your home or boarding at my home. My home has a big fenced in back yard and I have a 1 year old golden retriever that loves to play with other dogs. I also can provide a crate for sleeping or anywhere else in my home.

“Very helpful and sweet with our pups! Will definitely have her pet-sit again!”

About: I’ve taken care of many family and friends pets over the years, and I’ll love on yours just like they’re my own! I want to give you piece of mind that you’re pets are well taken care of while you’re away! I can also take care of other animals you may have, for example one client had a pet pig and I took care of and feed her just the same as the dog! I work full-time Monday-Friday between 7:30-3:30. But I have plenty of time to watch your fur-babies and home all 7 days of the week! I can stay in your home with your pets overnight or pop in for check-ins before heading to work in the morning and again in the evenings. Depending on how far it is from my office I can come and give them a potty break on my lunch break. I can follow any routine you want! Whether you want them to be crated during the work day and at bedtime overnight or you let them sleep in bed with you, I can do it too! I’ll follow any diet or medication plans that you want, and treat them like they are my own! We can do normal walks or even dog parks! I don’t care to let them ride in my car with me for some extra play time!

About: I care for your pets like they’re my own. Patience and safety and super important to me. I have experience with puppies, senior pets and administering medications, so I know how to adjust care for every age and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks or cozy cuddles. I make sure your pet feels happy, secure and right at home. My goal is simple: fun, safe and stress-free care for your furry family! Typically I end work around 4 p.m. Wednesday- Sunday. And depending on how far away or the type of care needed I can check in throughout the day. I have Monday and Tuesday’s off usually so I would be able to watch over pets during those days with all day availability. Working in whatever environment to make the pet feel at peace while their owners are away is super important to me. Mostly, staying with them and watching if anything abnormal is happening. Communication is also key, so taking photos of their day to ensure a safe and enjoyable time is vital.

About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s). I grew up with pets (hence the 20 years of experience), so I am definitely an animal lover. I've also house/pet sit here on Rover and by word-of-mouth referrals for two years now and already have 32 reviews of pleased home and pet owners. After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

“Beverly dropped in to feed our 3 Golden retrievers. She was eager to help on short notice which made our lives so much easier. She cooked some chicken for them, fed them according to their specific dietary needs and sent detailed feedback on how dinner went. I can definitely recommend Beverly for drop in visits to help give you peace of mind. Thanks Beverly for being so communicative and for sending a pic of Ben having dinner!”

About: I have 7+ years of pet care experience and work as a kennel assistant at a veterinary hospital when I’m not in school! I have the energy and patience your pet needs! I am currently a Pre-Veterinary student at UTK! I’m taking a gap year after I graduate and then hoping to become a small animal veterinarian. I currently work on a dairy farm which I absolutely love and I am walking part-time while I am taking classes! I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (4:05-5:20) so I have plenty of time to get outside and love to do so! My rescue dog is a senior now but still has that chihuahua energy! She can get aggressive with other members of my household so I’m definitely not phased by diffusing that situation. As long as you give her some love she is an angel! She has very few teeth left as well so I have to make her a little concoction of soft food for her meals. No food order is too much for me to take on! I have cared for dogs and cats of all different sizes and dispositions in my time at the veterinary hospital so you don’t need to worry!

“Madison was immediately available to come watch Luna for me when I had to make an unexpected day trip across the state for work. She went above and beyond both check-ins I scheduled with her and even took Luna for a quick walk to keep her stimulated and active. Will definitely be booking her again soon!”

About: My experience with dogs has gone on since a very young age. Growing up, my favorite job was always pet sitting. I've been surrounded by many types and sizes and have learned about many of them. I've trained my 100-pound lab and now have to provide her with certain medications. My family, friends, neighbors, and others have trusted me to take care of their pets and know they will easily become comfortable. I take my dog on daily walks, as well as feeding her in the morning and at night. We take her on drives since she loves the car, and play many different games with her to keep her smart. We make sure our pets are always comfortable. Meaning getting many walks, as well as being fed food and water. We make sure they get plenty of playtime, as well as taking their little naps.
