Lauren watched our cat this weekend and did a wonderful job! Our cat absolutely loved her so we will definitely be hiring her again. Lauren is very responsible, great at communicating, and sends photos of our sweet boy at every visit! Highly recommended!

About: Grown up with dogs, cats, ducks, etc. Had a beagle for 15 years, and I've taken care of many friends and family's pets over the years. I have experience with puppies up to senior dogs. I run a small business on the weekends, so sometimes I work 1 or 2 Sundays. But I am generally available Sunday - Wednesday for walking. I have rescue cats and ducks so I take care of them in mornings and evenings. If a dog ever needs to stay with me I have a fully fenced half acre lot they can run around, not including the 1/3 acre fenced off for my ducks. And my cats have been raised alongside dogs their whole life.

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.

Claire was an amazing sitter! She kept me updated the entire time and was quick to problem solve when my high maintenance cat threw some curve balls. She cared for her just like we would and I got to enjoy my weekend because I knew she was in good hands. We will definitely use her again in the future!

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.
