“Kara was absolutely incredible! She stayed at my house to watch my dog, Cash, and took amazing care of him and my home. Cash seemed to have an absolute blast. Lots of playtime, attention, and love. I came home to a happy, tired pup and everything in perfect order. Kara’s genuine care and reliability gave me complete peace of mind. I’d trust her with Cash and my home anytime!”


“Danielle is great with our dog, Leo! She's done drop-in visits for us as well as house sitting overnight. She's great at both!! Leo also takes medicines and she's given those just as we've asked. We highly recommend her!”


“Ren has an amazing amount of patience with my rescues and the new puppy! Some just like to laze around and others have mass amounts of energy and Ren meets each of them where they are! Already have her booked for more dates!”


“Denisha was amazing! She was super prompt with communication and made leaving my two pups so much easier. She catered to all their needs, kept our home in great shape, and I could tell my dogs felt happy and loved the whole time. We came home to two very content pups and a tidy house. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”


About: I have had animals since I was a kid. I love them so much I ended up getting my degree in Animal Science. I was always the go to pet sitter for my parents friends and family. Personally I have two black labs that unfortunately I had to leave in Michigan with my folks for a few months as I just moved to Athens. I would love to take care of others pets while I am currently without my own. I currently work a full time day job, but am free in the late afternoons/evenings. I would love to spend my free time with some fluffy friends! My own dogs are the light of my life and I treat all pets the same as I treat my own. All animals deserve all the respect and love people have to offer.

“Amy did a fantastic job over the weekend with our crew! She stayed in our home two nights and provided excellent care for our 4 animals and sent about 10 pictures a day and several update texts, which I really appreciated. She was attentive and caring and even came back a third evening when our flight got in past their normal dinner time. I would highly recommend her!”

“Kattie was incredible! We had a last minute family emergency and she came to help. My dogs have absolutely loved her. I have several special needs dogs with meds needed. She was comfortable and great with administering them. We got daily pictures which helped out our minds at ease. If you need a great person that goes above and beyond for your pups this is your lady. Thanks again Kattie.”

“This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a pet sitter for my senior cat, so I was very nervous about having a stranger in my home and how my fur baby would react. However, Jennifer eased my mind about the whole process. She was understanding and communicative, which was greatly appreciated. This was just an an overnight trip, but she will be taking care of him again soon when I'll be gone longer. It's such a relief to know I can get some R&R knowing that my pet and my home are in good hands. ?”


About: Since I was a child, I've been raising and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I've nursed plenty of bottle babies- kittens, puppies and even rodents and farm animals. I've worked at the Chattanooga Zoo and volunteered at shelters across the country, so there's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't seen before! I currently work full-time with Tuesday and Wednesday off, and I'm free in the afternoon as well. I usually have availability to step away as needed. I love matching a pet's energy and I'm happy hanging out on the couch or running circles in the yard- whatever the situation calls for!

“Connor has taken care of Jax numerous times. Each time, Connor loves on him, takes pictures of him, and takes him on walks just like I would. My pup is my baby, and while I hate leaving him, I know he is always spoiled and loved when I leave him with Connor. I couldn't ask for a sweeter person to care for Jax. You can also count on Connor to take great care of your home. He knocks out small items effortlessly. However, this past trip, I was in the middle of selling my house. Connor helped me with the entire process while he stayed! He prepped the house each day for showings and it remained immaculate.”

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I had 3 dogs growing up and I took a primary role in their care! I love animals and I frequently read articles on how to interpret their behavior and what foods to incorporate in their diet to promote longevity. I'm passionate about pet care and I assure you your animal will receive the best care from me <3. I am a recent college graduate from UAB trying to make some money while finding my place in the professional world with a job that fits my schedule. My schedule is currently very open! I live in a housevwith 2 cats and 1 senior dog so I can only host friendly pets , but I am completely open to taking care of your babies in your own home! As long as you tell me what you expect of me and what areas of the house you would like for me to stay out of I will respect your boundaries 100%!

About: I've loved/cared for animals since I was born, but once I turned 16 I started house-sitting overnight as well as walking dogs for friends, family members, and neighbors. I currently have one dog, Ringo, who has special medications and allergy needs, so I am familiar with administering medication to animals if need be. My part-time freelance position gives me an abundance of time to help with your precious little fur babies and include them into my day to day schedule 💗 I care for pets specifically in their owner's home, whether that be specifically dropping in to take them out on walks, or keeping them company while their family is on vacation!

About: I am a very protective dog dad, have had multiple pets of different breeds and species, and know that your furry (or scaley) friend is just as much a part of your family as anyone else! I am currently available any day of the week and any time of the day to watch, drop in, or stay with your pet or pets. I have a fenced in back yard, always remember to use a leash, and ensure that my pets are taken care of to the utmost level. I will ensure your pet is both taken care of and kept happy!
