“Melissa takes great care of my senior dog. Good communication and will work with me with scheduling as able. Sadie looks happy in the photos Melissa sends me. Appreciate you & thanks!”

“Here’s a great review you can use for your dog sitter: Review: [Dog sitter’s name] was absolutely amazing! Super reliable, very communicative, and gave my dog lots of love and attention. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

“Makenna gave us peace of mind that our crew was taken care of. She spent time with them beyond just feedings. She gave us updates along the way. We were super pleased.”

“Hailey H. is the best, most reliable caregiver of pets and home! This is the second time she's helped us when we were away for an extended amount of time. We trust her completely and have no doubt everything is in great hands when Hailey is in charge. She is the first person we'll call when we need care for our pets and home.”

“Brian did a great job! Our dogs absolutely loved him. We have an older one who was running in circles out of excitement when he came for the initial visit (which is out of character for her). I felt confident that he was taking good care of our pets and home. He works at the humane society and you can tell he is an animal lover.”
“Jessica was amazing and so easy to communicate with. Without her my wedding would have been even more stressful than it already was. She provided updates and pictures and was very punctual. Highly recommend for anyone.”

“Nancy made it possible for our cats to enjoy their days just like usual during our two-week trip. Thanks to her, we were able to worry less about them while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and kindness. If we ever need someone to look after our cats again, we would definitely ask her. Thank you, Nancy!”

About: Hi, I’m Paige! I’m here to provide the best care not just for your pets, but for you as a pet parent too. I have four cats of my own and plenty of experience with small dogs, big dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even farm animals—and I’m always excited to learn about caring for other pets as well! Please take notice that I am am very hard of hearing and unable to take phone calls. My schedule is very flexible! At the moment, I’m unavailable on Sundays and Mondays, but I’m always willing to make exceptions. From Tuesday through Saturday, I’m available between 2 PM and 9 PM. I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and completely at home. My passion for animals runs deep, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. At home, I get plenty of practice caring for my four amazing cats—Sunny, Stormy, Goose, and Binx!
“First time we have ever left our dogs overnight that we returned to happy, relaxed puppers. They obviously loved hanging out with Angela. She kept me updated on the situation at the house and I found it immaculate when I returned. Angela didn't move a single item out of place and things were kept just as clean as when I left. I can't recommend Angela enough. She is a rare find.”

“We have 3 senior dogs that do best staying in the environment and routine they are familiar with so an in-home sitter is a must. Jayne had stellar reviews and is also newer to Knoxville just like my husband and I. We knew instantly during the meet and greet that Jayne would be a great match for us and our pups. When our trip came closer, Jayne proactively reached out to nail down details. She sent updates when she arrived to the house as well as daily photos. We were over 2,500 miles away in Portland and were able to enjoy our trip because we knew our pups were in Jayne’s care! We look forward to using her again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, from cats and dogs to smaller animals, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable—just like they would at home. I’m currently a graduate student/teaching associate, however have lots of room on my schedule for a part time occupation. My weekends are also typically free! I am open to whatever your pets needs are! I live in a pet friendly space, but I am also willing to pet sit from the comfort of the pets home!
“We had Mary-Claire watch our pups for a weekend trip. She took expectational care of them and our place. Thank you so much! Pups were well cared for and updates provided :)”

“Kelli is wonderful! We have booked her for multiple overnight dog sitting stays with our girl Nellie. Nellie loves Kelli and we are so grateful for Kelli’s responsiveness and attention to detail. Thank you Kelli!”

“Abby was excellent with our pups, sent us pictures throughout the week which always helps me so much when I am away from my dogs. We came back to a very clean house and happy dogs. Which is a plus for me. We will definitely use Abby again when we need a dog/house sitter. We were very pleased.”

“Super pleased with how well Chelcie took care of my 14-year old dog. My dog requires different meds at different times of the day. Chelcie kept track of everything with no worries. She provided daily reports to me on how well all was going - much appreciated. Sweet. Thoughtful. And very Trustworthy. I'll be using Chelcie again for sure!”
About: UPDATE: Please complete your pet’s profile and upload clear photos before booking. This helps me get to know your baby ahead of time and saves us both time. I won’t respond to blank or incomplete profiles. Thank you! NEWEST UPDATE: After moving from Florida to Alabama, I am now moving to Knoxville to be closer to my elderly mother. About Me: I’ve been a devoted pet sitter for over 15 years. It all started when I moved into an apartment and bonded with everyone's dogs—before I knew it, I was the go-to sitter for everyone! While I’m not offering boarding right now, I specialize in in-home pet sitting. I care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment, and I also make sure your home is clean, secure, and just as you left it. Your pets become part of my pack while you're away. I treat them like family, with healthy treats, fun toys, and lots of love and attention. I hate to say it, they won't miss you. They'll be so loved and secure. They will know Auntie Joy 😊 I just got a full-time 2nd shift position. I would come back on my dinner breaks. 100% make sure your babies are well taken care of and resting when I'm away I treat your babies as if they're mine. Snuggle time! Playtime! I supervise feedings. Also you're home is my home. I take great pride and honor having a huge clientele repeats being in their home.
