Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Oakwood

About: I am a recent UTK animal science graduate. I worked at a dog boarding and day care facility for a summer in 2023. I have dog sat all throughout my high school years and some in college. I worked with horses in the summer of 2024. I love animals and want to pursue a career in animal health! I am very passionate about animals! I am a very flexible person. I recently graduated from The University of Tennessee and am in the process of looking for jobs. Most of my days are pretty open. I am a very trustworthy and reliable person who will always have the animals best interest at heart! I love working with animals and I can’t wait to meet them! I have dog sat many times and am very good with watching over them.

“Jessi is absolutely wonderful and took incredible care of our pack while we were away! We could tell from regular updates with adorable photos they were being well cared for and loved. It was such a relief knowing our fur babies were in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Jessi is the best, and we’ll definitely be booking them again. Highly recommend!”

“Crystal was so great! She took care of my senior and handicap dogs so well and I knew they were receiving such great love and care. I really appreciated the pictures she sent every visit. I will keep those forever.”

Jessica T.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allison was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was away! From the start, she was communicative, friendly, and clearly cares deeply about animals. She followed all feeding instructions perfectly, kept his water fresh, and even spent time playing with him (which he loved — she quickly figured out his favorite toys!). She sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. It’s clear she treats pets like her own, and I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained. I’ll absolutely be booking with Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter.”

“Melissa was absolutely incredible!!! My three large boys can be extremely overwhelming at times and very intense, though they are absolute love bugs! Melissa was absolutely incredible with them!! Not only did she take care of them excellently, she spoiled them rotten! Melissa also took on checking on our cats while loving on the boys! I would recommend Melissa to anyone! Her kindness, honesty and respect was beyond anything I could’ve asked for! I would absolutely have Melissa sit the boys again!!! She has made this experience so wonderful!”

Jordan M.

“Helena worked around a hiccup with the app and was so understanding and accommodating! She got our shy kitty to warm up to her the first day and he was always excited to see her. She sent great videos and pictures and was responsive to messages. I am very pleased to say the least! And my little Finn is smitten.”

About: Do you have an adult or senior dog, and you just need an extra hand sometimes? I recently lost my two loves to age and chronic disease. Some days were really hard. Keeping up with meds. Trying to get them to eat. Making sure they got frequent enough potty breaks, or the inevitable accidents because getting older makes control just a little more difficult. I'd like to help. When our babies get old, sometimes those are the sweetest years that we'll get to spend with them, but it's also a lot of work. I can help by checking in on your dog. I can help feed them, or make sure they get their meds, or give them an extra potty break. Do you need an extra set of hands to help give them a bath or a nail trim? Are there other tasks you just don't have time or ability to do? I can help. I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets. From my own cats, dogs and even a pony, to nearly 10 years in the boarding and daycare business, I have experience with caring for hundreds of pets. Each one of them with unique personalities and needs. I have experience with all ages of pets, including seniors and those who need special care. I understand when your pet may need extra time, patience, and attention. I am also trained in pet first-aid and CPR. Because we are now a dogless family :( , I can now open my home to some pups, as long as they're okay around cats (including a spicy kitten.) Weekend daycare (with fun outings if you like!) and boarding is now available in addition to my drop in visits. HOUSE RULES: Because we do have two kitties and full-time jobs, all boarding dogs must be crate trained should we need to separate them, or during work. This is for everyone's safety. Dogs will never be crated more than 4 hours at a time. We only accept dogs who are cat friendly. I do work in an office Monday through Friday, however in my evenings and weekends I am committed to the love and care of your pet. I am able to stop back home mid-day, so your pet will never go more than 4 hours without a potty break. My services are ideal if you work an evening shift, or have long workdays, or are planning to be away from home for extended hours on the weekend. For boarding and day care, my home is their home. We allow dogs on the furniture (unless you don't and then we'll day consistent with your rules.) New dogs must be crate-trained and will be crated when left unattended. We have a xl crate, so plenty of room for comfort. For drop-in visits, I know your home is your sanctuary and will treat it as such. Please outline any rules or limitations you may have for visiting your pet.

“We have a very reactive dog who’s a real dopamine junky and loves to bark. Carly did an amazing job giving him the space he needs and the attention he craves to get to know him very quickly so that we could setup regular visits.”
