Very please with Tracy, we have never had anyone come to our home without us there. Tracy made us feel very safe knowing she was at the house taking care of our pups! She was very prompt on time and even cleaned up after our dogs and took lots of photos. Our pups seemed very happy as well!

About: I have been the designated dog sitter for my friends and family for several years now! I also have a 5 year old dog myself. I understand our pets are our family and I will always provide the best care possible! I do currently work full time, but I have a couple of week days off and a pretty flexible schedule, so I can easily fit dog walking/sitting into my schedule as needed! I will provide care for your pets in your home that way they are in a familiar and comfortable environment and we can stick to their everyday routines!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 8. My mother used to raise Yorkshire terriers and I was required to do a lot of help with them. (I have assisted in multiple birthings when I was little LOL) As a child, I was the neighborhood animal sitter. As an adult, I have pet sit with multiple animals, big and small. I truly have a love for animals and will always treat your animal as my own! I know when I go on vacations or out of town how stressful it can be to leave my animals. How stressful it can be to not know who will be able to take care of them and if they will be loved on while I’m away. I will always keep an open line of communication with you, send pictures to keep you in the loop and listen to the needs and wants you may have. Thank you for trusting me to care for your animals. Animals are family and I fully intend to treat them as my own! ALL dogs are required to be up to date on bordetella, hepatitis, rabies, distemper, parvo, and parainfluenza before booking. I will require proof of vaccines. ALL Cats and dogs are required to be on a monthly heartworm preventative and flea and tick medicine before booking. Please provide proof at booking. Lastly, if you are booking overnights in YOUR home.. please know my kiddos would be tagging along. They are extremely well behaved and will not harm anything. The only thing they will do is give your furry babies all kinds of extra lovin! If you are not comfortable with children being in your home(overnight) then I am unfortunately not the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pawsome friends🐾 I work full time, Monday- Friday typically 8-5. I do work away from home. I am able to do checkins, walks, or any other animal care before and after work. Weekends I have an open schedule! I am hoping one day, this will be my full time job with enough support and then I will be completely open! In my home, I do have 3 cats and 2 children. We all love animals! I do not have a fenced in yard. However, we do have a big yard for your animal to get exercise in or we can go for a walk around my neighborhood! If you bring your animal to my home, you are welcome to bring a crate or anything needed for your furry friends! I will only crate your animal at night if staying over night and during the day from typically 8-4 or 5 while I am at my full time job. At your home, I can do check ins and I will let your animal outside to use the bathroom, run around and play and get the brain stimulated for a few minutes. I can take your dog on a short walk, or long if needed. Play fetch. I can clean up puppy pads. Feed and water. Etc. whatever you may need, I can do. Just let me know the details. I will send you some pictures of your animals daily as a check in.

Sadie is my little Pomeranian. And I cannot leave her for hours on end as I work in healthcare. Storm is dedicated to showing Sadie attention when I am not there. Storm helps Sadie with anxiety adjustment while I am away by spending quality time walking her to her favorite places. I could not ask for any other person to help me show My dog such love and dedication! I appreciate all she does for Sadie, and recommend her services very highly!

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals in many different settings, and that experience shapes the way I approach every drop‑in visit and dog walk. For the past few years, I’ve owned a natural dog treat business, which has given me a strong understanding of canine nutrition and how to motivate dogs gently and positively. Previously, I managed a day boarding facility for three years, ensuring dogs stayed safe, clean, and comfortable while maintaining consistent routines. I also own a small farm, which has taught me patience, structure, and confident animal handling. All of this means your baby gets someone who is calm, reliable, and experienced — whether I’m stopping by for a potty break, giving medication, refreshing water and food, or taking them on a fun, structured walk. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Very flexible between the hours of 7 am-5pm any day of the week. We own a small farm, our animals are well cared for every morning and evening. During each drop‑in or walk, your pet gets calm, attentive, and reliable care from someone who truly understands animals. I always start by checking in on your pet’s overall well‑being — making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy before anything else. For drop‑ins, I handle the essentials like fresh water, feeding (if needed), medication, and a quick tidy‑up of any pet areas. I also make time for whatever your pet enjoys most, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet moment of reassurance. For walks, I focus on giving your dog a safe, structured, and enjoyable outing. My background in rescue work, kennel management, and farm life means I’m confident handling dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs — from slow, sniff‑filled strolls to upbeat, energy‑burning adventures.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.

About: I experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, birds, and even farm animals. I grew up surrounded by animals and even helped run a small petting zoo with goats, chickens, rabbits, and a tortoise when I was younger. I’ve also worked alongside veterinary offices and rescues, caring for cats and rabbits. For the past year, I’ve been dog sitting and walking regularly, and I’m comfortable with large breeds, puppies, high energy dogs, and senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m very patient, pay close attention to behavior, and always follow care instructions carefully to keep pets safe and comfortable. Pet care is basically my daily routine, and I make it a priority to be reliable, flexible and consistent for every pet I care for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m very mindful of safety making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I respect your home and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Wartburg, TN, 37887

About: I am a Veterinary Technician who is currently waiting to take his national certification exam to work in the state of Tennessee. I have been working in doggy daycares and vet clinics for the last eight (8) years and have loved every minute of it. I recently moved to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest and would like to continue to care for pets even though I’m not in a clinic yet. Even when I return to clinics I still plan to keep doing walks and home visits if for no better reason than to get out of my house everyday. I am currently unemployed and looking to start making money again and the best way to do so is on my own terms. I am free every day except for Sundays to do walks, house visits, or even house sit if needed. In my clients homes I make sure to follow all instructions given for pet care. I have a great deal of experience working with pets that need medications and special care after working in an Emergency Clinic, and I do my best to clean up and leave the home in the same state I received it.

About: I grew up with three chocolate labs by my side and have always had a big love for animals of all kinds! I want to offer my time, home, and love! New to the area looking for some companionship! I am hoping to babysit puppers or cats because I understand the guilt of leaving your dog alone while at work or on vacation. I offer day sitting as well as overnight stays. I do not have a yard but have a large apartment to explore. I am also very active so there will be plenty of walks and a few close dog parks! I am a college graduate, responsible, and punctual. I own an online store so I am able to work from home :)

Allyson was great. She sent loads of pictures of our elderly dog. She obviously had no trouble helping him up and down the ramp, and helping him get up from laying down. He's an old dog (age 17) so needed a little assistance and she was willing and able to do so. She judged what he could handle, as it was warm and he is an old husky, kept in good contact with us during her visits.
