Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every age, size, and personality since I was 10. I’m a lifelong dog owner and currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and families with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight stays, and I’ve also fostered dogs through local shelters. I’m attentive to medical needs and experienced with giving oral medications, topical treatments, and following detailed care instructions from vets and owners. Whether it’s a high‑energy puppy, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or a dog who just needs extra patience and reassurance, I love making every pup feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own. I work Monday–Thursday from 10 am–3 pm, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and check‑ins throughout the day. I also get a lunch break in the middle of my shift, so I’m often able to stop by for midday visits. On weekends, I’m fully available and love helping out whenever families need extra support. I also have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings, so I’m typically available for boarding or overnight stays any day of the week after 3 pm. My schedule makes it easy for me to give your pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and leashes to ensure no one slips out or gets into anything unsafe. In your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions exactly as you leave them — feeding schedules, medication routines, crate training, potty breaks, and any special rules you have. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. In my home, pets have a calm, loving environment with lots of supervision and structure. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, including those who need extra patience, medical attention, or a slower pace. Whether I’m staying overnight, dropping in, or taking your pup for a walk, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and completely at ease.

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.

Brooke keep us updated and I wanna say left our home better than we left it. 100% use Brooke for all your pet sitter needs.

Spur of the moment 1st time booking with Melissa for 2 senior dogs with special needs. I was impressed at the meet & greet when she immediately loved on the dogs, and was thorough with wanting to know their needs. She was very communicative and wanted to ensure all went well after the drop in. Will definitely be using Melissa again!

About: Hello! I am Stephanie, a neuroscience/pre-med/psychology student at UTK! With my education, I apply it to my job as your caretaker. For as long as I can remember, we have always had fur babies in our house from cats to dogs to lizards and frogs! I remember every single baby having a significant contribution to my personality and who I am now. My current best friend is my cat Sashi! Sashi is a kitty I found as a stray around town. I took her in and the rest is history! Each pet is unique with their own quirks, personalities, and conditions. Sashi has separation anxiety, and I couldn’t imagine leaving her alone for a long period of time. I understand what it means to understand, take care of, and appreciate our fluffy friends that are in our lives! I have experience pet sitting animals of all kinds from farm animals, to big, playful dogs, to small, shy cats. I have taken care of for extended periods of time dogs with medical conditions such as seizures, paralysis, partial blindness, and behavioral issues with other dogs. I care for animals of all ages and sizes! I am very knowledgeable with cats in their behavior, body language, and physical well-being. I am very physically fit to be able to run or walk fast and long (no, seriously I can run 5 miles under an 8 minute pace) and lift a heavy amount of weight. No matter the task, I will have no problem! Besides occasional obligations from school, I have plenty of time every day to play, exercise, love on, and feed your fur-babies! I am available multiple hours throughout the day and can stay home full time around my school schedule! I provide services from your home for your pets comfort. I can drive pets if necessary. I will follow strict instructions, clean any mess, and become best friends with your companion. I provide all services from your home and can stay as long as needed that work within schedule! I request information about temperament with humans and other animals, potty training, temperament with car, any special quirks, allergies, any past trauma that is relevant, allergies, leash aggression, and any at home rules for furniture.

Kathleen has been the best looking after my puppy. She's always on time and goes the extra effort to send me updates with pics after each visit, which is greatly appreciated since it's helped document my puppy's growth. (She is a great photographer!) It's tough being away from my pup and to have someone I can trust to look after him...but Kathleen has been the best. Kathleen has made it so I don't have to worry. Worth it! Thank you, Kathleen. We are going to miss you!

I came home after a week away to healthy happy cats. Brooke followed cat care directions precisely, and spent time petting them. She sent daily pictures of both my cats along with text updates. This gave me Peace Of Mind during my vacation. She took booking on short notice, and scheduled an introductory meeting with the cats and me before I left. I could tell within a minute of meeting her that she’s good with cats and likes them. I’ll definitely ask for her first next time I travel.
