“I’m so glad I found Brandy through River! She took exceptional care of my cat, Taro, while we attended a wedding out of state. Brandy's communication was superb, providing daily photo updates that reassured me. She even cleaned up after my cat threw up on the litter mat. I really appreciate her dedication and will definitely rebook her services when we go out of town again. Highly recommend Brandy for anyone seeking a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”

About: There have been several dogs, cats, and more in my household since I was a child. I have about 3 years experience with pet sitting for pets other than my own. I am experienced with handling special needs pets including medicine administration, feeding young puppies/kittens, and caring for senior dogs and cats. I'm currently a full-time nursing student, so I will be balancing your pet's needs beside my classes and clinicals. I can board over weekends, and on select days of the week (Monday, Friday). For the sake of preventing confusion, here's my availability schedule for potty breaks/walks/feeding/play, etc. for the daytime: Sunday: No scheduling conflicts, i can come by whenever you need. Monday: Can check any time before 12:00 pm and any time after 2:30 pm. Tuesday: Any time before 12:00 pm, and any time after 2:30 pm Wednesday: Any time after 4 pm. Thursday: Any time after 4 pm. Friday: Any time after 12 pm. Saturday: No scheduling conflicts, i can come by whenever you need. - I can check multiple times for all days outside of my class schedule. I can crate your dog if needed, I have owned three dogs in my life that required crating at night. I can handle dogs that get easily excited when seeing people or other dogs, including large dogs. I can handle dogs with guarding issues. I will prioritize your pet's safety and comfort, and needs over everything else else.
About: I've taken care of many types of animals from rodents to horses. I'm a professional dog trainer and care for even your most complex pets. Medical needs, behavior needs, and even special needs. Don't worry I can handle it! I have 4 animals myself so my entire life is already centered around the wellbeing of animals. Pet care is my passion from basic husbandry to working them through difficult emotions and giving them and their owners a better life. While your pet is staying in home with me they will be treated as one of my own. For safety your pet(s) and mine will stay separated. An evaluation can be made to see if our pets would be able to have play sessions. If not that's perfectly OK. They will have plenty of supervised and interactive play time, enrichment items such as snufflemats, toppls, and nose games. Any instructions given by you will be followed. My goal is to make your time away as relaxing, comforting, and smooth for both you and your furry family members as possible.
“Mrs. Sarah was amazing with the babies and our little Harley normally takes a couple of visit by the time she warms up and stops barking at you but it didn’t take long (the same day ) she didn’t bark much. She attentive and sweet to the babies. Mrs. Sarah is definitely the pup whisperer 😁”


About: Hi! My name is Kayleigh and I am currently a sophomore in college working towards obtaining my associates in radiology. I have grown up around all kinda of pets my entire life! From my first dog when I was 3 to our foster babies my mom and I would take care of. I have always had a love for animals. I’ve volunteered at shelters and have even asked for donations to animal shelters instead of birthday presents for my birthday parties growing up. I say this, not to brag, or receive praise, but to explain how deep my love has gone for these precious creatures. I may be young and I may be new to the app but I can guarantee no one will love and treat your fur baby/babies better than me. I understand the importance of booking with a person you can trust. I have my own fur babies, 2 cats and 1 dog, and promise to treat yours like my own. I have experience dealing with pets from all ages. I’ve dealt with puppies and kittens and even have had experience taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a student in college who is unemployed. With that being said it gives me a very open and flexible schedule for when I am needed! If you are looking for dog care of I am willing to feed/ refill water, walk, bathe, play, administer meds and most importantly give love to your fur baby. If you are looking for cat care I am willing to feed/refill water, play, clean litter box and most importantly give love to your fur baby. I will treat yours pet like my own.
About: Had to make new account *** Hi, my name is Carson! I have been dog sitting for 10 years now. In high school I worked at Sidle Hill Farms (Dog boarding) in Southhaven, MS. I then gained clients and have been pet sitting from my home and others ever since. I have always dreamed of opening my own dog boarding and then remember I won't even take my own dog to be boarded! That is why I do what I do now, to nurture to love and to calm your pets nerves. I understand that it can be sometimes even more nerve racking for the owner then the pet... I am that owner! My husband Alex and I live in Oakland, Tn with a gorgeous fenced in yard as pictured. I work from home and usually never leave the house unless I go to Walmart up the street. We do not have any children and do not plan on it anytime soon! We are totally content with fur babies for now! A typical day at our home for your pet would include waking up in our bed, breakfast, mornings outside pending on weather (I have an outdoor desk), playing with millions of toys we can't seem to stop buying and of course when Alex comes home a walk around the neighborhood. We can't wait to meet you and your sweet fur baby! Dogs and cats are my whole life I care for them just as children. I love exercise and getting outside so pet care has come as a joy to me not just a chore. Dog walking, bathing, playing, co sleeping, cooking for pets if needed, taking them to groomers ect.. I am available to your pets needs as well as yours!
“Chloe is amazing & our Ellie took to her fast! We’re sad to see her leave & go back to school but definitely will utilize her when she’s back in town! 🥰♥️”

About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age. I have sat for breeders and have taken care of special needs pets as well as senior pets. Have experience with horses as well as some other animals. I am a special education teacher and I work full time. Leave home around 6 and I am available from 2:30 on. I am free most holidays and full time in the summer. I follow my clients requests and work with my client to ensure safety for their pet and home. I am very thorough and am careful of others property. My moto is to leave the house better than when I arrived.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young teenager. I’ve grown up around them my whole life. I had a high needs dog when she was elderly. She had cancer and was allergic to everything. She required regular baths with medicated shampoo, hypoallergenic food, regular ear cleanings for ear infections, lots of medication, doggy diapers, sprays, lotions, and lots of extra love. Because of all the experience I got caring for her, I had thought for long time I might want to be a vet. If your pet requires a little extra love, I am definitely the sitter for you. I absolutely love caring for all animals big and small, young and old. If you have additional smaller pets like hamsters, birds, reptiles, etc.. I will also gladly check on those pets for you while I am there for free! I would love to love on your furbabies ❤️ I have a toddler at home but a completely open schedule to come anytime. I am an early riser and get to bed late so I am very flexible. I will take plenty of pictures to send to you while you are out and will love on them like they are my own. I can crate animals as needed as well.
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”

About: I have been asked to pet sit for neighborhood families multiple times in the past. Everyone who knows me knows that I love and care for all animals, big and small, fuzzy or scaly. People know that when they choose me to pet sit their pet is being treated like a member of the family even while they are away. I also was a member of my local shelter's doggy day camp when I lived in Knoxville. This program was a volunteer project that took shelter dogs out and about for a day of love and fun! I have some experience with giving medications and injections to dogs, cats, and snakes. I also have experience with senior dogs (one of my own is nearly blind and deaf). I can take care of reptiles and mammals (anywhere from ferrets to puppies) and I am currently working towards becoming a certified veterinary technician to help better care for animals' needs. At the moment my schedule is completely free for any service required! If needed I can stay at your home and provide around the clock supervision or just stop by every few hours. I can provide your pet with walks, outtings, and playtime as often as you desire! I am open to flexible, short-term, long-term, and last minute requests, but clients that book first will get first priority. There are a few nearby parks that my dog and I like to visit to get some exercise in. My dog Luna loves to play with other dogs and have fun! I am absolutely willing to do a little traveling and take your buddy to their favorite parks or even research to find new pet friendly spots for them to explore!
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with senior pets who need a little extra love and support, as well as high-energy pups who thrive on structured play and walks. I’m confident giving meds, handling multiple pets at once, and creating a calm, loving environment whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or going to the park for a walk.

Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time drop-in, or weekend stay, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for during our time together. I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do your pets. I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and happy every step of the way!

About: I have a Bachelors in Biology, with a special interest in animal behavior (I took several classes on this!). I am also a parent to a sweet cat named Lainey, who I adopted last year. Additionally, I helped walk my dad’s dogs (medium size, one is a blue heeler) for a year or two. I don’t have a full-time job currently, so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I can come almost any time of the day to check on or walk your lovely pets. I have my own doggie bags, but please provide me with your dog’s typical walking equipment. I am very aware of how animals behave, so I’ll keep a very good eye on your pets to make sure they’re safe and happy.
“I highly recommend Alayna. She was a life saver with her reliability and flexibility. I was in town for a month of work with a sporadic schedule and changes in lodging, and she was there every day I needed her without an issue, even with short notice changes. My pups and I were grateful we found her.”
