About: Loyal pitbull dad with some prior experience raising puppies. I’ve developed a great love for taking care of animals of all sizes since participating in 4H as a kid where I was particularly fond of showing Nubian goats and peacocks I normally have 3 days off per week and try to fit in pet care before heading off to the restaurant. I am available to see clients Wednesday-Saturday before 11am , Sunday-Tuesday there is availability the majority of the day. Our schmoopy, Magnolia is one pampered pooch. Mags enjoys going for runs and sniffing the gardens around our property. We keep Magnolia on a consistent schedule with walk and feed times and we do all we can to ensure she is most comfortable and enriched when we cannot be home.

17. Katie B.
About: I have had pets my entire life, but in my adult years I have taken on ownership of my dog Eddie, 2 cats Nadia and Amelia, and 2 chickens. I have full availability during the summer months. I can be there for breakfast and dinner as well as take time to play fetch, go for a walk, or whatever their favorite activity is. My own home has a fenced in yard. I am trustworthy and respectful of others' property. I am willing to go above and beyond to care for your fur babies.


18. Alyssa R.
“Alyssa is a wonderful pet owner and caregiver. She's a caring individual sure to meet your loving pet's needs. With two cats of her own, she never struggles to provide them the care and love they deserve. Sometimes I think she loves them more than me. She's also an active member of the stray cat community and cares for them as she can. She works with animals in her career as a Mental Health Therapist that provides equine therapy. She is surrounded by horses, cats, dogs, chickens, and donkeys on a daily basis! She is knowledgeable, empathetic, and the perfect person to keep your furry friends company.”


19. Kaylee S.
“Kaylee is so great with dogs. You can tell she really loves them. She kept my fur baby entertained and well taken care of while I was out of town. They took lots of walks and had plenty of playtime. She sent lots of pictures and responded quickly to my messages.”


20. Courtney R.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for family friends and clients. A lot of people have relied on me to care for multiple different breads. I always provide the best care possible for the dogs according to my clients wishes. I’m currently working full time and I attend Pellissippi College through virtual classes giving me more spare time. I attend the gym 3 times per week for 1 hour. I recently got engaged so I’m trying to build money for school and the wedding :). My Fiancé and I just moved into our house/condo with a partial fenced in back yard and great neighborhood, where dogs are welcomed and loved. I will play with the dogs outside, and walk them around the neighborhood and do dog park visits if permitted
