House Sitting in Soddy-Daisy

About: Hi! I’m Keira, a 21 year old lifelong dog lover from Chattanooga (Soddy-Daisy/Lakesite area) who’s completely obsessed with giving dogs the best care possible. I had the privilege of caring for my soul dog Charley (a mini schnauzer) for almost 10 years. During that time I learned so much about loving and caring for dogs — including giving daily subcutaneous fluids when he needed them. Because of him, I’m especially gentle and patient with senior dogs, but I also adore puppies and their endless energy! I’m very loving, attentive, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will get lots of cuddles, playtime, and genuine affection while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your dog (or cat! I’m very good with cats although I do have fewer years of experience with them!) Feel free to message me with any questions 💕 I currently work part time at a grocery store, so I have ample time to stay with and play with your pups! I usually work 3-10pm, and I have an hour break that I am able to come check on your dog. My scheduling at work is also very flexible, so if you have a dog that needs 24/7 care, that’s also not an issue for me! I can’t offer care from my home, I live with too many people and would hate to stress out your pet, but I can come and stay in your home, whether it be overnight or drop-ins. I’m very good about feeding on time, watching the water bowl, giving frequent potty breaks, and taking a few walks throughout the day. I will also adhere to any special requests you may have for your pup!

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful - I think one of my cats and probably my dog was sad when we got home 🤣 she was really good with their quirks and our general absurd care instructions and she sent adorable photos showing them all having fun. It made it easier to relax on my much needed vacation knowing that my fur lovies were happy and loved! Will absolutely be using her services again!”

“Highly recommend! 10/10! 5 stars. Charish was so sweet to our pugs and sent many updates. She was also so kind and a really respectful guest in our home. We can’t wait for her to care for our girls again!”

“Courtney did a great job with our furbabies. She was on time, responsive and our animals loved spending time with her. She left the house tidy as well which we appreciated.”

Kayla K.

“Jeanette was so great! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs. She sent us tons of pictures while we were gone and we could tell the dogs had been spoiled when we got back. Our house was left neat and sheets were already washed for us. We already have her booked to use again!”

Krista S.

“JaNiya took amazing care of my dog Finch! I’m so grateful to her even in short notice she was able to help me out. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and easygoing. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

Chelsea W.

“Dana a great job taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation for a week. She came over and made sure that everyone was on the same page with expectations. She gave us regular updates with pictures on how our dog was doing. She even left a sweet note welcoming us back home and letting us know she enjoyed taking care of our dog. I look forward to booking with Dana in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“We were in need of a last minute house/pet sitter for graduation weekend. Drake was quick to respond with his availability. He even met us beforehand to ensure he was the right fit for our animals. Spoiler - he absolutely was! If you're looking for someone highly professional, calm, and patient with your animals - then hire Drake. He sent regular updates and gave our animals so much love in our absence. Thank you Drake!”

About: I have provided animal care services for my neighbors since I was 11. I dog/cat sit and dog walk. I have worked in animal care professionally as well as freelance! I am currently a college student on break so I have a very flexible schedule! Once I began classes again, I will work around my class schedule. I grew up with at least two dogs at all times! I love spending time with them inside or outside, playing with them or simply sitting and reading to them.

About: I’ve owned my own Professional Pet Business for over 10 years now. I watch all types of pets and will focus all of my attention on your fur babies when they are in my care. I do not double book. I offer my services in most areas in and around Hixon, TN. I am a reliable business owner and committed to the well being of your babies My services include pet sitting, pet walking, drop in care, and most other pet care services. My previous career was a 25 year Civil Engineer, so I’m a reliable, responsible, and very trustworthy. If you’d like references, please let me know. I look forward to meeting you and your pet (s), and providing the best care for your precious fur babies. I’m partially retired and am available most days and evenings. I work for myself so I can work around your schedule. Taking care of your pets in your home is a lot more comfortable and less stressful for them than boarding. Pets can come home traumatized after boarding. I will make sure you come home to a very happy pet! I am sorry and don’t currently care for dogs in my home. I’m unable to give the best care in I may provide this service in the future.

“Kathryn is AMAZING! She took wonderful care of my dogs while out of town. She communicates regularly and left the house spotless! One of my dogs requires careful attention and receives routine medication and she was awesome about this. We felt so comfortable having them with her. Highly, highly recommend Kathryn for all your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born and I absolutely love all dogs great and small. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and even a cat (shocking I know)! I currently work from home and I am able to give great attention to your pet. If you need any urgent care, just let me know. I like to let pets warm up to me, I don’t like to try and pet them or hold them - I think it’s better to let them learn to like you. Once they’ve accepted me, I’m their best friend!

About: My mom has always been a pet sitter. I always would volunteer to go help her with any of the dogs or other animals that she needed to take care of. As I got older, I began to help with more tasks than just giving them loves and treats. I am able to walk dogs, clean up after them, help them take medicine, and of course still love on them. I have experience with dogs as large as great danes, and as small as a teacup yorkie! I have also fostered puppies for around 3 years, and have had one of my own. I also have experience being patient with senior dogs and helping with any of their medical needs. I am currently home for the summer and am free most of the time. I have a part time job that I would work around to take care of the animals. I would notify you my schedule and see if it fits with your animals schedule! I usually like to meet the homeowner and animals before I am pet sitting. This gives a first impression for my client and myself to make sure we are both comfortable with taking care of the animal(s). I am able to crate dogs if needed or put them in a safer area if I have to leave. If there are any special instructions that we need to communicate, I love to do it in person so I am able to get to know you and your animal!

About: I’ve worked in vet clinics as a kennel tech since I was a freshman in high school. I became triple certified as a veterinarian assistant my senior year, currently I am working full time as a vet tech at a clinic in East Brainerd. In the fall, I am attending Ashworth for their veterinary technology program to obtain my licensure. I work full time Thursday-Sunday, I can come early before my shifts or after in the evening during the weekend. Weekdays are a lot more flexible if need be! I can help in any home environment you keep your pets in, with or without a fence! Working in a vet clinic has given me experience in proper medication handling (oral and injectable), grooming skills, working with animals of all temperaments, CPR training and dealing with animals in crisis. Rest assured your baby is safe with me!

“Maria was wonderful, highly recommended! I think she spent more time with them during our week away than we do when we’re home. She sent us messages with updates daily and pictures to put our minds at ease. She took great care of our property as well…she was there when TS Debby came through.”

“Brittany is our absolute hero. She was able to watch our senior dog last minute after our other sitter couldn’t make it, and saved our whole trip. Our dog is older, blind, and needs medication so I was nervous about leaving him, but Brittany’s top notch care made me feel so at ease. She sent us daily updates and photos of our pup, kept the house clean, brought on packages, and gave us so much peace of mind. She is a shining star and took such good care of our little old pup and home. After a long day of traveling, it felt amazing to come home to a clean house and happy pup. I can’t recommend her enough and we’ll definitely be return clients.”

Cera O.

“I had a fantastic experience with Katie! She provided regular updates and took excellent care of my dog. Her attentiveness and dedication were evident, and I will definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!”

JC S.

“Skylar was awesome. Communicated the entire time. Sent lots of photos and very clearly took such great care of our crew! Highly recommend!”

Nicole G.

“Huntter was AMAZING!! He was so thoughtful with each of our girls, giving all the attention my Jack Russell needed while also respecting the space of my shy Foxhound. By the end of the stay, both my girls were in love with him even getting the zoomies when he would return to the house. Thank you for making our girls feel safe and loved while we were away!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for many years and have always been someone friends, neighbors, and family can rely on to help care for their pets. I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm and comforting presence, I aim to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8PM for dog walking, drop-ins, and pet care visits. I also have weekend availability but I’ll have to discuss it with my future clients first. I also offer overnight pet sitting in clients’ homes depending on your pet’s needs and comfort level. I enjoy building routines with pets and making sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I aim to be flexible, dependable, and communicative so both pets and owners feel comfortable and supported. I believe pets deserve patience, attention, and a safe, comforting environment while their owners are away. I enjoy spending quality time with animals through play, walks, cuddles, and giving them plenty of affection and companionship. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions provided by owners to help pets feel secure and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I aim to create a calm, loving, and dependable environment where pets feel cared for and safe.
