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.

About: Specifically I understand the needs of French Bulldogs in certain weather conditions. I also understand other short legged friends that need accommodations and have restrictions such as jumping off furniture or when playing not throwing things too high. I run my own business but have a flexible schedule. I am also a grad student who is about to graduate and will open more time in my schedule. Currently I am available various times during the week with a lot of availability on the weekends. My pup has accommodations in every room of the house. I make sure he has the right food bowls for his breed (elevated and tilted). He also has a variety of toys and doggy door to go sunbathe or potty anytime of the day. I understand cleaning up after our furry friends and making sure they have exactly what they need.

About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers and have lived with and cared for 1 to 3 dogs my entire life! I have cared for dogs of varying breeds ranging from puppies and small dogs all the way to a 150+ pound Great Dane. I have two pups: an extremely friendly almost 3 year old re-homed golden doodle and a rambunctious 10 month old mixed breed rescue. I have lived with and/or cared for a Great Dane, husky/malamute, boxer, pitbull mixes, chow chow mix, among many others. I’ve dealt with resource guarding, have experience with senior care, and am excellent with basic command training. I would love to meet your pups and help make their lives even more enriching! I am currently doing freelance work from home as well as working at a restaurant. My schedule varies a bit week to week, but I usually have plenty of time for drop in visits and walks! I am happy to come to your home and follow whatever routine works for your furry friend. I can take dogs on walks in nearby parks or drive them somewhere if they’re comfortable in cars!

About: I am 31 and I have worked in retail at a pet store and doggy daycare for the past two years. I previously worked at another dog kennel, where I would take care of dogs in the best way possible! I walk, exercise, feed, medicate, clean, and occasionally bathe dogs! I love my job and I have experienced different breeds and all personality types. I have dealt with senior dogs who must be medicate at certain times, to the smallest puppy who must eat at certain times. I am reliable, responsible, and will care for your fur baby like my very own! I will say I am NOT good with plants, sadly. Not sure why. I water them and let them get sun but they still die. I killed my cactus in about 3 days 😐 If you have plants to care for I will water them and make sure they get enough sunlight, but that hasn't worked so far, but I will do my best! I have certian availability and reliable transportation, as well as a love and passion for animal care. I am willing to travel to meet you and your fur baby. I follow your exact instructions when it comes to the care and needs of your pets. When it comes to your pet's safety, I work diligently to protect your fur baby and keep you at piece of mind!

About: Beverly here!!My entire life we have always had pets around. I have cared for dogs small and large. I have experienced with many animals from cats to goats. I love animals and have a hard time not referring to them as people.I have worked with puppies and also older dogs. I help care and walk my family and friends animals. I have experience with staying overnight and also just drop ins or day walking. I really care for the animals and love each personality they each have. I love to take an animal on car rides or a run on the road. If a pet is in need of bathing I have experience washing both large and small dogs. I am currently working full time. My schedule is Sunday to Wednesday 6-4:30. I am able to care for an animal before and after work and also on my days off. I know this schedule is ideal for all families but some are comfortable with it. I would be available to walk your pet as little or as much as they require. Whether it’s playing fetch or taking a walk exercise is needed for pets and I’m happy to help with that.

About: I work at an ER and specialty medicine clinic so have truly seen it all with dogs of all ages. I work primarily on an internal medicine team and often pick up ER shifts. I have finished my first year of veterinary school and will continue to my second year in the fall, so have all sorts of knowledge about your dog(s)! I grew up with dogs, and have worked as a dog sitter/caretaker for years. My roles have ranged from daily care to basic grooming. I worked as a dog walker for a summer as well, and assisted with grooming this dog in addition to overall basic care. Overall, these qualifications make me an excellent caretaker for your loved ones! I work 8 am-8 pm at a veterinary hospital Monday-Wednesday. Other than that, I got to church Sunday mornings. I’m free the rest of the time! I care for the pets in a client’s home with a holistic approach. I ask specific questions to make sure I understand the animal’s needs and routine before or upon arriving. I want to fit into the animal’s life as an asset to their wellbeing, not as a stressor working against it. I read or listen carefully to instruction to make sure I am well equipped to go above and beyond in loving your pets. They will be my first priority during the time they are in my care, rest assured.

About: With years of experience caring for all kinds of animals—from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, and more. I have a huge heart for all furry friends. I've welcomed so many pets into my home, from beloved companions to strays and rescues looking for love. Every animal deserves kindness and attention, and I take pride in creating a safe, cozy space for them. Whether it's snuggling with a dog, playing with a curious cat, or helping a shy pet feel safe, I treat every animal like family. Let me give your pet the same love and care I’ve shared with all the animals in my life! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As an Equine-Assisted Psychotherapist (I get to work with people and animals at the same time, it truly doesn't get any better), I have the flexibility to work when I choose, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate various schedules. This means I can give your pets the time and attention they need, whether it's daily visits, longer stays, or just making sure they're happy and comfortable throughout the day. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy by maintaining their usual routine, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, favorite toys, or daily walks. I take extra care to notice the details that matter to them—whether it’s a particular spot they love to nap in or their favorite way to play—so they feel secure and content in your absence. My goal is to make everything easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. By keeping things familiar and showering them with love, I’ll ensure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’m a dog lover with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide 24/7 care for your Pups. I own my own home with plenty of indoor space, a large fenced in yard, dog beds, toys and a safe neighbourhood to go on long walks. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and have fostered and rehomed a number of strays that found their way to my door. I have no formal teaching as a dog trainer but I lived for 7 years with a professional dog trainer and, in addition to helping train their pack, I assisted their work with clients rehabilitating fearful and aggressive dogs. Because I work for myself and most of my work is done from home I am avalible to give your pets ample time and attention. It is easy for me to adjust to their particular feeding, medication and potty schedules and I am rarely gone from the house for more than 2 hours at a time. I have a pet and child free home which allows me to create a safe stay for older and anxious pets that need comfort and quiet, as well as dogs that do not play will with others. Dogs that stay here have the run of the first floor. I have dog beds, a basket of toys (inside and out) a food and water dish that gets sterilised in the dishwasher between stays and ample treats to spoil them with. Pups that are used to sleeping in the bed room or in bed join me upstairs at bed time. I allow pets on my furniture unless that is against the rules at home, in which case I will respect your rules and snuggle them on the floor! If your dog is used to using a crate please be prepared to bring that with you as I do not have one in my home. The yard is large and fully fenced and secure. I do not leave pups outside unattended to assure safety but dogs who like to be outside will get lots of play time chasing tennis balls and lounging in the shade while I garden. Poo is picked up as it’s left for general cleanliness and sanitation. I only house one family of dogs at a time for ease and safety. There are occasional exceptions but only with explicit consent from both families and a trial intro to make sure everyone gets along well. I do not charge an additional dog rate for a second dog but each additional dog after two (third or fourth) will be a +30$ a night.

About: I’ve been blessed to have several dogs in my life and I have treated each one with love and respect! Currently, Emmitt the golden doodle (9 years old) is my fur baby and I love him with all of my heart. He is so sweet and lovable and gets along great with other dogs! I can’t wait to get to know your fur baby and spend time with him or her! I love to take dogs on walks and care for them as if they were my own. I live near a dog park and I also have a quiet small suburb area in which I live in. It would be my pleasure to put your mind at ease when it comes to your furry family member’s safety and care!

About: I have 15 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and amphibians! I’m not much of a human person, but I will make an undeniable connection with your pet. I make sure they are comfortable with me before doing anything else. I have experience with oral medications for your furry friend and other accommodations they may have. Pet care always comes first for me. I will wake up from sleep at any given moment if it means they need to go outside, be fed, or just a simple pat on the head. I want nothing but comfortability and care for you and your pet. I strive to make space and comfort for your animal. After all, they are more than that. I love a good game of tug o’ war, or whatever your pet has in store for that day. My favorite thing to do to connect with them is a good walk. It builds trust and connection. I would love to share a bed with your pet as well if that’s what they, or you, prefer!

Natalie was an outstanding walker for my two dogs. She came by and met them prior to the walks just so that she could get to know them. She was always on time, very polite, and I would definitely use her again!
