Pet Sitting Parkridge

About: I have experience with animals of all ages, energy levels, and size! I’m patient, reliable, and knowledgeable in basic obedience and pet first aid, ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and understood. I am a junior at the University of Tennessee and I have frequent breaks in between classes. I am able to provide services throughout the day as well as over weekends. I value a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel at home. In my care, dogs enjoy regular walks, playtime, cuddles, and a consistent feeding routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule closely—keeping mealtime, walks, and routines familiar to reduce stress. I also keep homes tidy, send regular updates, and make sure every pet feels secure, happy, and well-loved.

“Elaina communicated well both before and during the booking and arrived at the time discussed. She gave our dogs a needed break in their day and sent me an adorable picture while they were outside playing. I could tell they were happy!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.

“We cant say enough at how pleased we are with Melissa and her caring for Dixie while we were away! Dixie took to Melissa literally the minute they met. Dogs have a way of knowing, and she wasn't wrong! Her meet and greet was so professional and caring. The questions she asks allows her to know all the things that are important to your pets care. This was a huge plus for us! Melissa went above and beyond in so many ways, like bringing up our trash can and the daily mail. Little things that mean a lot. Her daily report and pictures were priceless! 5 stars aren't enough. We highly recommend Melissa and her services and will be calling on her again!”

Lisa S.

“She was wonderful with my puppy and gave her all the love and attention!”

Lilly D.

“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: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and have hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with pets, I learned early on the importance of providing consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly helped friends, neighbors, and family members by pet sitting and caring for their dogs and cats. My experience includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, sick animals requiring extra attention, untrained dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges or aggression. I understand that every pet has unique needs and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering basic care, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am reliable, patient, attentive, and committed to giving pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I work a flexible and non demanding remote job, giving me plenty of time throughout the day to provide attentive pet care. I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, and lots of companionship to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I make sure pets have constant access to fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I have experience caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs, including senior pets, sick animals, untrained dogs, and dogs with behavioral challenges. I always take the time to build trust with each pet and monitor them closely to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away.

“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”

Victoria A.

“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.

“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.”

“Highly recommend!! We are so blessed to have gotten ahold of Kristy literally last minute before a trip. She made everything so easy and even offered to come grab a key before we left. She did what she needed to do and we did not have to worry. Our cat who rarely comes out for strangers even let her get in a few pets while she was there.”

Katelyn S.

“Kelli is the best! She goes above and beyond every time she watches Toby: she has been a lifesaver on multiple occasions and I cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I have owned pets of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. I grew up helping family friends care for shelter dogs prior to adoption including feeding, walking and playing with them. I am a student at the University of Tennessee working at the TRECS and taking classes this summer. Aside from school and work, my schedule is extremely flexible and I am willing to accommodate for whatever hours are needed. I always ensure that the home is in the same condition as when I first arrived. I love spending time with dogs and will stay as long as needed for them to feel comfortable while their family is away.

“Izzy was absolutely great! We traveled for a week and my dog had a seizure towards the end of the week and she was there for him and really supported him and did everything above and beyond what was expected. She’s great!”

David S.

“Kris and Cindy did a great job looking after our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for a week! Our pets really enjoyed the frequent check-ins and love, and looked so happy in every photo update we got. We even had to extend an extra day last minute and Kris and Cindy were super-accommodating. We can't recommend them enough!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even baby cows—raising them with love, responsibility, patience, compassion, kindness and experience from a young age. PLEASE GIVE ME A DAY TO RESPOND, I work full time at a dental office, I love taking care of pet for part time. 🥰 I work during the week, sometimes I can make it back during lunch, but it really depends on traffic. My fiancé working night shift so he lets your pet out during the day, makes sure they have fresh water, and gives them a treat. After that, we feed them dinner, spend time playing and cuddling. I have pets of my own, but they will be kept separate from yours unless they are well-acquainted and get along comfortably. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and take bathroom breaks. I welcome pets on the furniture, so your furry companion is free to relax and feel at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention as my own. Additionally, I live in a walkable community, perfect for giving your pet regular walks and outdoor time.
