“We have used dog sitters in 38 states over the past four years, and we have never had our dogs react to us like, “Oh, you’re back…” when we got home! Carrie came in the night before her scheduled arrival time to spend more time with them before we left very early the next morning, and except for a few quick trips over the three days, she never left them. She is impeccably clean, well-mannered, and loves animals. Obviously, she has our highest recommendation for anyone needing help with their fur babies.”

“Anita was awesome! She responded right away to any questions. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. She was 100% trustworthy and we felt very comfortable with her taking care of our pets. Thanks for everything!”
“Andrea was fantastic. This was the first time leaving my two puppies alone so I was a little nervous but Andrea sent a ton of photos and messages to reassure me. I will definitely be booking again with her. My dogs loved her!”
About: Hi, I’m Elle! With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals big and small—from playful pups and cuddly cats to goats, peacocks, and everything in between—I offer pet care that goes far beyond the basics. Whether your furry friend needs a fresh groom, a daily walk, or overnight companionship, I provide reliable, loving service tailored to their needs. I’ve built my business on trust, patience, and a true passion for animals. Pets aren’t just clients to me—they’re family. When you leave your pet in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in safe, capable, and compassionate hands. Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my full-time passion. Because this is my main focus, your pets receive my full attention, love, and care. You can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands. I treat each pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort is my priority. During overnight stays, I offer baths, grooming, and cuddles—yes, they can sleep in the bed! I don’t use outdoor pens; instead, we enjoy playtime at the dog park and lots of indoor love. I care for each fur baby like they’re my own, giving them a safe, happy, and pampered stay.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs the majority of my life. When I didn’t have my own, I was always volunteering to take care of my friends dogs. This was good for me while I was going to school and moving around. After separating from the Air Force, I have been blessed to have two of my own fur babies. I’m able take care of your pets before and after I go to my full time job. If you want me to take care of your pets over night, we would need to make sure they get along with my dogs. I would take care of your pets as if they where my own. I take mine on a walk three times a day. Since I don’t have a yard, I’m constantly taking my Great Pyrenees/Lab hiking 2 to 3 times a week. He is also a picky eater, so I’ve had to get creative with his food. My pets are always on a leash when I take them out.
“Natisha helped me out at the last minute and did a terrific job with my dog and cat. Her positive attitude put me at ease, and she was responsive, caring, and helpful. I will definitely have her again!”
“Katie was an awesome caregiver to our 3 dogs - one of which is a super-senior with physical and cognitive issues. She provided great care including Rx med administration.”
About: I have a hard time sitting inside on a nice day and understand your puppy probably does, too! As a mom to several anxious kitties, I understand that every animal comes with their own needs and personality. I'm happy to spend time walking, playing, snuggling, or giving space as needed. I'm a teacher with two weeks off in January and two months off in June/July. I have ample time to give your little friends a little extra love. I'm especially attuned to furry friends who, in their excitement, are eager to slip out the door as soon as someone comes in! I'm very mindful of keeping everyone on an leash and under constant supervision as needs be.
“Deb was amazing! She took great care of my 3 boys. Colt had gotten a hotspot from being stressed from fireworks. She helped to keep him comfortable and sent me updates on how he was doing. The boys loved her. It’s so nice for me to be able to trust my babies with someone who is honest and caring. I will definitely use her services in the future.”
“This was my first time using Iliana as a sitter for our pitbull, Jackson. I will definitely be booking her again. When we returned from vacation we had a happy dog, and a clean house. She was very attentive to Jackson, and sent several photos every day.”
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs. Puppies, kittens, and senior animals are welcome. I am familiar with basic first aid and am familiar with the body language of most dogs. I can easily serve the Johnson City, Jonesborough, and the greater Tri-Cities area. I have reliable transportation. I am also available on most federal holidays. I'm happy to provide photos delivered electronically for each visit. I am clean and you can trust that your pets and welfare of your home are my top priority.
“She was amazing! My dog is afraid of new people and I was worried he would tolerate her at best. I got pictures of him constantly, and he loved her after one meeting! The house was left clean and my dog was extremely well taken care of. My mind was at ease on this trip thanks to India! Will definitely hire again/ recommend.”
“Mara is amazing with our girls. We were nervous to leave them with a stranger at first however she made everything go so smoothly and bonded with them immediately! From posted pictures to us and giving details about her visits with them we quickly realized what a great pet sitter she is. I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”
“We’re big fans of Lori and her pup Teddy! We like to keep our pups home in their comfort zone when we’re not able to travel with them and they did great with her overnight. We will be using Lori again in the future and would recommend her in a heartbeat to folks in the area who need their animals well cared for while they’re away.”
