“Leah is always so wonderful with Winston! This most recent time, it was storming, and he's not really a fan, so she stayed with him until he calmed down. She didn't have to stay, but she did to make sure he was okay. I've been booking with her for a little while, and this is a perfect example as to why I will continue to book with her!”


About: Honest & trustworthy, dependable and loving care for your pet family members. Retired from a 22 year career in law enforcement, and spent the last several years dealing with my own senior pets and their healthcare needs (cancer, seizures, meds, etc), so I know the importance of having someone you can trust to care for your animals, whether they have special needs or not. I have a safe home with a 6’ fenced back yard, for potty breaks and playtime. I believe pets are part of the family! I am currently retired/not working, so I am flexible to meet your pet care needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, playtime, doggy day care & boarding. I have a 6’ fenced back yard, and don’t currently have any pets of my own. I am happy to adapt to whatever care your pets needs, and will try to do whatever you think would make them most comfortable. I require a meet and greet prior to boarding and doggy day care.

About: I have had my own dogs, cats, birds, fish, and gerbils. I treat them all with respect and love. I am very reliable and responsible. I currently have an open schedule, so can be flexible and we can discuss options as needed and work around what fits for everyone involved. I am able to board or day care a pet at my home, which has a large fenced yard. Also can do home visits or walks.

“Ashley went above and beyond for us! I was at a friends house 40 minutes away and my kids really wanted me to take them to gatlinsburg but it would have taken so long to get back to the house to let the dog out. Ashley told me not to worry and she would take care of him. I was really (pleasantly) surprised to find someone available for such a last minute request as a first time customer. I can’t recommend Ashley enough!”


“Have used her multiple times & she is amazing!! She cares deeply for my animals & makes sure to communicate with me when visiting! Highly recommended!!!”


About: I've raised, nurtured & loved long-lived dogs & cats my entire adult life. I've fostered dogs & cats for Humane Society affiliate in Kentucky, performed dog rescue transport & cared for my friends' pets. I am retired and home most of the time to pamper, love on & protect your fur baby in my home, drop-in at your pet's happy place and to take your fur ball for walks. I have a large, fenced & level back yard. 24/7 access is through a doggie door off the sunroom. I am a recent pet widow so your pet will have my full attention in my home.

“She was very good with my baby and went above and beyond while I’m out town to make sure boy is taken care of.”


“Soooo thankful for you Monica! Thanks for loving our fur babies today!”


“Haley was outstanding on her care for our furry child. From the moment she met our dog she knew how to handle her, since she is a very nervous and protective dog. Haley asked many questions to provide the right care for our dog while we were away, and was very great following instructions for the care of our dog. It was the first time we left our dog behind on a family vacation trip, and we were very anxious about how to get the right care for her. Haley did not disappoint. We would definitely recommend Haley's dog care services and we will count on Haley to care of our dog for our future family trips.”


About: OVERVIEW: I work from home and love being able to give pets the consistent care and attention they deserve—whether that’s through boarding, house sitting, dog walking, or drop-in visits. I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years, including senior dogs with medical needs and dogs that benefit from extra training and enrichment. I have a 9-year-old Boxer named Alice, and we stay active with daily walks, playtime in our fenced yard, nature hikes, and lots of snuggles. I’d be happy to bring that same level of care, attention, and activity to your pet’s day—whether you're at work or away on vacation. In addition to general care, I also have experience with basic training and behavior support, and I’m happy to include enrichment activities or training reinforcement during our walks and drop-ins. SCHEDULE: Because I work from home, I’m able to be flexible with my schedule to meet your needs. Whether you need regular walks during the workweek, drop-in visits while you're at an event, or full-time care while you're traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate. ENVIRONMENT: I have a fenced backyard and a friendly resident dog to keep yours company if they enjoy socializing. I can also easily crate if needed or feed separately. There’s a nature trail and a quiet park just a block from my home that I use regularly for walks. I also have plenty of toys and treats available to keep your pup happy. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and relaxed—just like family.

“Karen is the best! Not only does she take great care of Hobie with lots of pictures but she also was kind enough to take pictures of my chickens even though I didn’t ask her to take care of them. It just proves that she cares a lot about all animals!”


“Kayla loves our pups like her own - something that is so important to us. She's so reliable and flexible when we give her short notice (which seems to be each time LOL). We are so appreciative of her ❤️”

“Steven did a fantastic job taking care of our many cats (one with daily medication). Steven sent many videos and photos, assuring us that our cats were healthy and happy. His cleanup was really outstanding, leaving our cat areas so clean and tidy. We are grateful for his good care of our kitties.”


About: With over 20 year’s experience with caring for many creatures, I value the connection pets have with their humans. I will treat your pet as one of the family with gracious care. As a graduate student, my schedule is flexible and I’m usually home when I’m not working in a lab. My daughter is a teen and available for backup help when I need her. We make a great team. I have a small fenced area at my townhouse and beyond that there is a wooded area with a creek. I allow my cats to roam but they never leave the wooded area. They are trained to come inside when I call them and I’ve even trained one to sit on command. They have access to a private room if a pet needs to stay overnight in my home. I never push boundaries and realize all creatures have their own personal bubble. I am an experienced walker and use positive coaching and encouragement for walks.

“Stephanie wow, she has such a beautiful energy, my puppy baby onyx fell in love with her instantly! Stephanie is kind, easygoing, hardworking, and very professional! I truly appreciate her excellent way of communicating and notifying me about her visits. So grateful.”


About: I have a senior dog 13 yrs old. Have always had a dog in my life. Also have been a dog groomer for 7 yrs. I work part time with Hallmark. As long as I know a day ahead I can always work around scheduling to help both me and you. I have a fence yard. I make sure they are cool on hot days and make sure the pavement isn't to hot for their paws

About: I am currently a dump truck driver and looking for some side work that I would enjoy! I love dogs/cats they are the best therapy lol. I have experience with big and small dogs and giving edible medication if needed. I used to volunteer for a rescue on adoption days in Chattanooga and helped rescue/foster some of the dogs. I would love to play with your dogs/Cats (if they like those kinds of things) taking them on walks in your neighborhood or if they like riding in the car to the park or even taking them to get a pup cup. I also want to help with anybody that needs help running errands or some little house clean up. I will bath your dog if needed! I’m available anytime after work or if it’s a rainy day I’m available if your dog needs checked on while your out of town or at work. I live in an apartment complex that is very grassy and have a cute dog park and lost of walking areas! I have a wonderful 1 year old spayed cat named maple!

About: I have about 2 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds at doggy daycares. I also pet sit for my vet. I can administer medications, including insulin. I love loving on everyone's pets! 🩷 I will change my schedule to fit yours and your pets needs! Just let me know what is needed and we'll work it out! 🐾🩷 I do not have a fenced in yard so I will be taking care of your animals in your home. Most animals prefer the comfort of their own home 🩷

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, I currently have 4 dogs. 8 pound shih tzu, 25 pound lab mix (puppy), 55 pound boxer/texas heeler mix, and 80 pound lab mix. I mostly grew up around small dogs. Growing up my family had 3 yorkies, a Pomeranian, Maltese, and a chihuahua wiener dog mix. Smallest being 3 pounds and biggest being 10 pounds. I don’t ever do anything in the mornings or in the afternoon so dog walking, or dog/cat sitting or drop ins would be a great thing for me to do. I’ve done dog sitting before. I took care of 5 basset hounds for 5 days, 4 nights. I first met the parents and dogs and was given a run down of everything. Then when I got there for the overnight sits there was a printed off paper of everything I needed to know along with additional contact information. Those 5 days consisted of rinsing out water and giving new frequently, feeding at 8 am and 6pm along with giving one of the dogs meds at morning and night. Also picking up any poop that was on the back porch.

About: Hey there! I'm your go-to pet sitter with a decade of experience working with all kinds of furry friends. From dogs to cats, I've got you covered. Need medication administration? No problem! With my expertise, your pets are in safe hands. When I'm not caring for your adorable companions, you can find me enjoying the company of my own two dogs and three cats. And guess what? I've got a fantastic fenced-in yard perfect for playtime! Let's give your pets the love and care they deserve. I’m currently a student at the University of Tennessee so I am available most afternoons and very early mornings. I also am home every evening for the entire night so overnight boarding is available. I am also completely free on weekends so if you want to have a date night, a shopping run, or just need someone to watch your babies while you take a well deserved nap, I got you! At home pets will be taken care of by preference or directions from the pet owner. I have multiple rooms in the house so if there are some older pals or some friends that are just a little more introverted, they will be made to feel as comfortable as possible with some one on one time to avoid over stimulation. I can take them on walks or let them play in the yard alone with my supervision. For those fluffy balls of energy that need more stimulation, my dogs and cats LOVE to play and run to their hearts content! My dogs are very social and have their whole lives experience playing and meeting new animals! Whether it’s playtime and long walks or cuddles and naps I am able to cater to your pets needs so that you can sit back and relax worry free!
