“Jenny was very friendly, and Alexie immediately went straight to her without even looking back to see us leave. When we picked up Alexie she jumped in the car and went to sleep. That tells us she had a great time:)”
“Flexible and friendly. Lola had a great time and came home tired and clearly had fun. I could tell she was digging and running around with the other dogs having a great time.”
“Absolutely amazing care for my fur baby!! Lisa sent me daily updates on her long stay, kept Ellie entertained and seemed to never be bored!! Thank you Lisa for watching my baby and taking care of her perfectly!! We will be returning ☺️”
“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”
“Avonlea was so awesome watching our pup while we attended to Pigeon Forge for the day. From the moment our pup first saw her, she was ready to play! Love the photos she took of her throughout the day! Thanks Avonlea!”
“Lori is so nice, easy-going, and sweet with our dog! Cookie isn’t used to being in daycares/boarding and gets anxious when he is away from home but she made sure he was comfortable and loved. She will probably be my go-to in the future. I highly recommend her!”
“Reah and her husband are so great! They take wonderful care of my pup, Kida. Kida is always relaxed and happy when I come to get her. They have taken her for walks and they are forgiving of my work schedule. I’m so happy to find good people to take care of my pup! Thanks Reah!”
“Thanks Michael for always taking such great care of Brady, it’s so nice to be able to trust someone with the youngest member of our family. We’ll see you next time.”
“Cassandra was wonderful! We usually only leave Bailey with family but wanted to go to Dollywood for the day. She immediately eased my nerves by sending me reports, pics, and a video! I also appreciated that her house looked immaculate in the pics! It made me feel like Bailey was in a great environment! Totally recommend!!!”
“We booked last minute & she still took our little Bentley! Was extremely understanding because we were running late. Sent pictures and videos all day letting us know how he was doing. She is amazing & the sweetest! We will definitely be bringing Bentley back to play with the other dogs❤️❤️ He had a great time.”
About: I have lived with dogs from a young age. I have trained dogs and loved dogs all my life. I frequently watch my friends dogs and I am always available for walk. Dogs seem to love me and the feeling is mutual. I am responsible and I have my own means of transportation. You can trust that your loved one will be taken well care of in my home. I know how important these best friends are I currently work from my apartment with no set schedule. I am very active and I walk my dog Luna about 4 miles a day, broken up into smaller walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I live adjacent to a fenced dog park. I can provide a crate,leashes and dog toys if needed.
“Our boy's stay with Tabatha was just what the doctor ordered. Brinkley needed a play date and some serious socialization. He had three friends to play with, a couple of small kids and a lot if acreage to do it in. We got a much needed day off free from worry or stress about our boy. Tabatha even offered to give him food from her private stores when we decided to stay out later than we had originally planned. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Anya saved the day when another sitter dropped the ball. She was genuinely friendly and we were relieved that Moose was in kind hands in a loving home. Thank you, Anya! We recommend Anya without reservation.”
“Kirk and Nicole took wonderful care of Tuck. He was so tired out after playing with his new friends! We felt comfortable that he was in a good place and well cared for. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”
About: Hello! I am new to this app, but I have taken care of dogs since I was 16 (3 years) in all forms: dropping in (x) times a day into owner’s home, bringing dog to my home (with my mom and dad that love dogs too!), staying in owner’s home, and dog walking. I am new to this app! I go to college at University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have a flexible schedule and want to spend my free-time doing what I love- being with dogs! I live in a pet-friendly apartment right off the interstate- so I am an easy commute away from all directions in the Knoxville vicinity. I have a cavalier back at my home (Nashville), Scout, who is extremely gentle, quiet, and can’t get enough of being around other dogs.
