About: I have been caring for other people’s animals since I was a teenager and have been around all types since I was very young. From dogs to cats to ferrets to fish, I have cared for them all! Young or old or even a little special, I’ll treat them all as my own ♥️ My schedule has recently opened up quite a bit so I can provide more care for my current and new pet owners. I have two cats of my own that I take care of and divide my time during the week between them and my other pet sitting critters. I’m more than happy to stay with pets in the home for an extended amount of time or even just to check in and play with them ♥️ I normally will go to the client’s home and care for their fur babies there. I often will ask them to provide a list of details on what needs to be done, where things are located, and if there’s any additional information I need to know in regards to their pets (ex: vet info, medications, behavior). The more details I have, the better I can care for your fur babies!

“Stephanie was the best! Wonderful communication and really helped ease our minds. So hard for us to leave our fur babies but having Stephanie checking in on them and sending pics and videos helped so much. Very much recommend!”


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. While outdoor adventures may be off the table for our feline friends, there are plenty of indoor activities to keep them engaged and content. 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.

About: I've had pets all my life. We just recently said good bye to our precious Kota. We just adopted a mix from Young Williams. Would love to have yours over for some love and attention. I'm a wife, mom, grandmother, real estate agent and pet lover. I can come to your or you can come to me. I am very flexible. I have 2 dog doors with a screened in porch for laying in the shade and still being outside. I have a private fenced in back yard and a wonderful neighborhood for walking. As a real estate agent I'm aware of the privacy of homes.

“Niki went above and beyond watching our two dogs, gave them a lot of attention. Did some watering of our garden and filled bird feeders outside when needed. Will definitely have her sit for us again. Highly recommended.”


About: With over 20 year’s experience with caring for many creatures, I value the connection pets have with their humans. I will treat your pet as one of the family with gracious care. As a graduate student, my schedule is flexible and I’m usually home when I’m not working in a lab. My daughter is a teen and available for backup help when I need her. We make a great team. I have a small fenced area at my townhouse and beyond that there is a wooded area with a creek. I allow my cats to roam but they never leave the wooded area. They are trained to come inside when I call them and I’ve even trained one to sit on command. They have access to a private room if a pet needs to stay overnight in my home. I never push boundaries and realize all creatures have their own personal bubble. I am an experienced walker and use positive coaching and encouragement for walks.

About: I grew up with an Aussie and as I got married I got a German Shepherd and yorkie. I grew up with with my sisters cats as well so I can also take care of cats. I also have experience with hamsters as well. By drop in’s and walking I get to play with fur babies for a little bit which I love since I can’t have a pet currently due to renting. I love getting to make sure your babies are loved on while you are away and need that extra care. I like to bring any of the furry friends I take care of a special treat during the drop in or walk. As a first responder I work Sunday-Tuesday and every other Saturday from 7am-7pm. So on those days I am available for 2-3 hours after I get off work. On my off days I am availability all day for any help you need with your pets. I love getting to play with and take care of your fur babies. I will make sure that your pets are well taken care of during any walk or drop in. I will make sure your home is just as it was left free from any pet messes.

“Talking Maddie was the best!!! Followed instructions to the letter, was always affectionate and professional with the the four dogs. I could not ask for a better dog tender will use her exclusively for any future needs for my babies. Do yourself a favor and use this sitter for your fur babies!”


“Christina was great caring for our 3 cats while we were away. She arrived when she said she was going to and kept the fed and clean. She was very responsive and attentive. We received notifications on each visit and pictures from the visits. Thank you for take care of our little ones and treating them like your own!”


About: I love to take dogs on walk and play with them as much as possible. I know most dogs need a good routine to stay calm in their environment while their owners are out. I will do whatever the owner asks to make sure the dog is cared for properly and has the best time when in my care. I hope to bond and meet many different types of amazing dogs I currently have a wide open schedule and can accommodate different times of day for your dog or pets needs. Day or night I can make it work I make sure their pet is completely comfortable with a cool room and plenty of water/food. Treats when they are being well behaved. Fun activities like fetch and walks throughout the day as long as the pet is up for it!

“Emily did a great job taking care of our 4 cats. She was able to give our feisty guy his oral medication and our skittish cat seemed to warm up to her very quickly. I would highly recommend!”


“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.”



About: I’ve been in a family of pets since I was born. All my pets lived out there long lives with deep love and the best of care and feeding.

I am free & flexible most any day of the week with availability of hours from morning to evening. Will also consider any special requests.

About: I love all animals from fur babies to reptiles to exotics you name it! Hello, my name is Courtney, I am 29 and I travel for work with my fiancé, Jeff and our 75 pound German Shepherd who is very energetic and playful with a personality all his own! I love to get to know new animals ♥️ Growing up we pretty much had a farm; I have raised dogs, cats, cattle, pigs, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I have also worked around chickens, ducks, goats, lizards a little bit of everything else. I am available to feed, water, clean up after, let out, walk, love on, play with your animals, and stay over with your pets while your gone on adventures. As a career I’m a millwright and I’m awaiting my next assignment so in the mean time I’m keeping myself busy with the things I love the most; animals. Just like children, all pet parents are different and have a different idea of how their pets should be taken care of, that’s why I treat every animal differently according to how their parents would like them cared for 🩷

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Growing up, my family had both a dog and a cat who we cared for well into their senior years—my dog even battled cancer, and we gave her all the love and comfort she needed in her final days. As an adult, I adopted a 15-year-old blind cat who lived happily with me for two years before passing. I’m currently a proud pet mom to a playful 2-year-old Cane Corso that we raised from just 5 weeks old, and a sweet, anxious cat who’s made amazing progress in our home. I truly understand the needs of pets at all life stages and will care for yours like they’re my own. As a teacher taking time off this school year to focus on my gourmet cookie business and family, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and any specific care they need—whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just cuddles. I treat every home with respect and always aim to leave things just as I found them!

About: *I am currently only offering services that are under 10 miles away from Midtown* I have always had my own pets and have been caring for other peoples pets for over 6 years. I am a dog groomer in Lenoir City and have worked in the industry for almost 2 years. My experience includes handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, cats, horses, goats, and a variety of small critters. I currently have 3 dogs, a cat, 2 guinea pigs, and a hamster. Due to my current work schedule, I am only available on Thursdays and Fridays, or before/after work the rest of the week. I am a dog groomer so care for more pets fits well with my day to day.

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.
