“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”

“Joseph was wonderful with taking care of our girl! He provided daily updates and made sure Tilly was active and entertained. Already have another booking with him!”

“Rachel was outstanding in caring for my pup on our two week vacation! She made us feel very comfortable and connected to our furbaby with her photos, videos, and communication. My dog loves to see her pups and to run with them in her big backyard. I count myself lucky to have found Rachel as a newcomer to Knoxville!”

“Very professional and felt like our dogs were treated like her own! She kept us updated and was very flexible with our drop off and pickup times! Would definitely use her again and recommend her to friends and family!”

“Elisha seemed to have a great time! There was a big yard for him to explore, and other dogs to hang out with. Tami was great to work with, and everything went smoothly in terms of dropping Elisha off and picking him back up.”

“Kaylee was absolutely amazing and I will be using her going forward if I ever need someone to watch my boys again. She gave me so much peace of mind and my boys seemed to do so well with her. I’m very pleased and she’s definitely someone you can trust your fur babies with! Thanks Kaylee”

About: Caring for two dogs - Owain (6 years) and Lana (1 Year) feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and medication when needed. Work from home: Dogs are always supervised, ensuring safety and attention. Skills: Responsability, patience, and understanding of animal behavior. Morning: Walk Owain and Lana, feed them breakfast, and provide some playtime before starting work. During work: Since I work from home, the dogs are always supervised. I usually keep the house doors open (weather permitting) so they can move around free freely. Afternoon /Evening: another walk or play session, feed dinner, and quality bonding time. Weekly: Extra care such as deep grooming, cleaning their space, and interactive play or training sessions. Summary: Pet care is fully integrantes into my daily routine, Owain and Lana enjoy safe freedom in the home while being contantly supervised, ensuring they are happy, active and well-cared-for. I provide a safe, trusted environment for pets in my house, Owain and Lana are always supervised, and the house doors are usually open so they can move freely. Let’s also have access to a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I ensure the pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention throughout the day.
“Sully had another great stay with Jessica, her kids, and his new best buddy Tucker! We have definitely found our ‘go to’ care provider for our Little Man when we need to be away. Thank you Jessica and Fam”

“Michael, Lisa and their whole family were wonderful. Our little girl had never stayed away from home before and she seemed to really enjoy being with them. We will definitely want our little girl to stay with them again.”

“What a pleasant experience! This was our first time boarding our cat Clovis. Devin and Delisa were the best! Clovis got the best care and I got the best feedback while away! I super recommend them and will be booking with them next time for sure! Thank you so much!”

“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”

We were very happy with our experience leaving our girl with Viviana and Brian. We received numerous pictures of her daily and it was obvious she was a happy, well cared for girl. Viviana is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. We have already booked Brooklyn’s next stay with them!
