About: I am an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. I volunteer, foster, donate, and I've adopted from the area animal shelter. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs, a blue heeler mix, and I foster bully breeds. I do Dog Training at Petsmart on Tuesday and Thursday evenings then all day on Saturday and Sunday. We will have to work around that schedule. I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
“Kat is amazing! She took such great care of our cat Bob. Bob normally doesn’t warm up to people quickly, he’ll usually hide under the bed and not come out. Kat worked her magic and Bob was putty in her hands, purring and letting her give him belly rubs. I’d recommend her for you four legged kids care.”

“Stephanie has to be one of the most trustworthy and genuine people I’ve ever met! We knew immediately that our Teddy was in good hands! We are grateful for the peace of mind! She took excellent care of him. And the pictures she provided showed him as relaxed and happy!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little. People know they can rely on me to give their pet the amazing treatment they deserve! As an online college student at UTK, I'm your ideal pet sitter, always available and ready for anything your furry friends need. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I prioritize your pet's happiness and well-being above all else. Throughout the day, between classes and assignments, I'm there to ensure your pets feel loved and attended to. From morning cuddles to evening adventures, I'm dedicated to creating memorable experiences and building a strong bond with your pets. With a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for animals, I'm not just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion for your pets, ready to make every moment special. Choose me, and rest assured your pets will receive top-notch care and endless affection. When it comes to caring for both cats and dogs, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities. While cats won't be venturing outdoors, I ensure they have a stimulating indoor environment with cozy spots, toys, and scratching posts to keep them happy and entertained. In my home, for our canine companions, leash walks are the name of the game to ensure their safety and enjoyment during outdoor excursions. Meanwhile, our feline friends have their own special corners where they can lounge and play to their heart's content. From playful pups to curious cats, I welcome pets of all sizes and personalities with open arms. Whether it's a solo adventure or a cozy cuddle session, I tailor my care to meet the individual needs of each furry friend, ensuring they feel loved and cherished.

Whether it's interactive playtime, cozy naps in sunny spots, or exploring new toys, I'm dedicated to providing a stimulating environment that brings out the best in every pet. So, whether it's a purring cat or a wagging tail, rest assured your beloved pets are in caring hands. With safety, trust, and a whole lot of love, I'm here to make every moment special for your furry family members, indoors and out.
“Lauren did an outstanding job with Minnie. She surpassed all expectations and we were really grateful for all she did. Lauren has a great attitude and genuinely will love and care for your animals just as you do. We will be reaching out to Lauren again in the near future and would definitely recommend her to anybody looking for a great sitter!”

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
“We absolutely loved Shannon! She was so sweet and understanding with our super skittish fur babies. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures, and with how our pups behaved for her during her drop-in visits. We could tell that they had been taken care of when we got home. They were very relaxed and happy to see us! We will be using Shannon again for sure!”

“Neviah is truly a one of a kind. She not only took great care of my service dog while I was away, and did so on short notice, but she is incredibly thoughtful, goes above and beyond and has a tremendous attitude. Genuinely one of the best I’ve ever worked with.”

About: I am currently pursuing my X-ray tech degree, and while in school, I work at a local bakery that offers me the flexibility to help care for your pets. I recently transitioned from the veterinary field, where I gained extensive experience handling medical needs for animals. With years of hands-on care for dogs, cats, and even horses, I’ve worked with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m passionate about providing reliable, loving, and knowledgeable care, ensuring every pet gets the attention they deserve. I am currently working full time at a local bakery while pursuing my X-ray tech degree, with most of my classes online. I’m looking for a part-time job on my days off. My schedule can vary, but I typically know my availability about two weeks in advance. Having recently left the veterinary field, I bring years of hands-on experience and a strong medical background. I’m committed to making your time away less stressful by providing attentive care along with daily photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I take pleasure in creating enrichment activities that suit each pet’s energy and interest. This could mean trips to the dog park, going for walks, engaging in a training session, or using treat-dispensing puzzles to keep their minds active and entertained.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. My mom worked in different animal shelters and boarding facilities my whole childhood, I always loved going to work with her when I could. We often fostered dogs and cats taking care of them until they found their forever home. I have watched my friend’s and family’s pets for them often as an adult. I am new to Rover, but I am excited to help out people in my community and confident that I will have plenty of positive reviews in no time. I am an elementary school teacher which means Monday-Friday I am at school until around 4pm. Otherwise I am available and home with the pups 😊 I have a fenced in back yard and a doggy door which will allow your pup outside access whenever they need it. If they need to be crated while I’m not at home let me know, otherwise they can have access to both the yard and inside the house while I’m away. I do have two dogs of my own, Winnie is a dachshund and Bella is a beagle. I also have a cat named Muchacho who is indoor/outdoor.. he comes and goes as he pleases. They are super friendly with dogs and cats, but if your pet isn’t just let me know and I can make sure they are separated during the visit. I will be sure to adhere to any feeding schedules or special requests.. I would want anyone watching my babies to do the same.
About: I have had animals since I was born, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and loved every single one! I have experience watching neighbors and friends' pets since middle school and I am a college student now. I did a clinical internship at a vet and I am well versed in animal care. Whether that means walking, bathing, medicine administration, grooming, or just cuddles, I'm your girl! :) I have a part time serving job this summer and will be back to being a full time student in the fall. My part time job is very flexible and allows me ample time to check up/watch your pet. I will update my schedule every 2 weeks. I have cared for lots of animals and am able to crate your animal or put them away safely as needed. I also have lots of animal equipment (leashes, crates) on hand if there is any need to transport your pet.
“Kaley was amazing with my dogs! Paisley is normally a very scared/anxious little dog and Kaley put her right at ease. I received many pictures and the dogs looked very happy and content in them. I would definitely use her again in the future!”

For cats, we’ll scoop litter boxes and make sure their area stays clean. We’re happy to handle any light cleaning tasks as needed, so you come back to your home looking just like you left it. If you'll be away for more than a day or two, I’m also happy to collect mail, packages, or roll your trash bin to the curb on pickup day—just ask!

“Wendy took good care of my pups while we were away for a week vacation. Her drop in visits were right on time and Taylor and Gracie were in great spirits when we got back home. Thank you Wendy! I will be rebooking her.”
