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!

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. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I do this part-time, which allows me to give your pets my full attention when I’m with them. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday, late evenings on Wednesday and Friday, and early mornings on Thursday. 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 am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

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. 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’ve been dog sitting since high school, providing walks, feeding, and grooming for dogs. I currently live with an English Mastiff, whom I occasionally care for by feeding him and taking him on walks. I currently work part-time, giving me a flexible schedule to accommodate pet care needs. I’m available for bookings on both weekdays and weekends, including daily walks. I am highly schedule-oriented and prioritize ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe. I monitor their well-being closely, and if I notice any signs of discomfort, I promptly notify the owners. If a pet makes a mess, I clean it up and inform the owners.

About: Hi! My name is Lisa, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 30 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and I always treat them like family. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow any special instructions. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! Hi! I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule, which means I can spend plenty of quality time with your pet. Your furry friend will never feel lonely — I’ll be there to give them the attention, care, and love they need while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I have a large fenced backyard where your dog can play safely, and they'll also have a friendly Bichon Frise to keep them company! !

I also am confident in giving medications and insulin injections. 🐶 I am also offering nail trimming/grinding and anal gland expression services! Please message me for more information and rates! 🐱 I am a student, so outside of classes I have a lot of free time to spend with your babies!

About: I am an animal mom of 8, ranging from dog to cats, that pays extensive care and excessive attention to my own furry ones and will provide the same treatment to your own. I am a former vet assistant, a rescue volunteer and foster. I have had dogs and cats from the age of 10 and have never not had a dog or cat to love and care for. I am a stay at home dog mom and a part time photographer so my schedule allows for drop in visits during mid morning to early evening. I will care for your pets just like they are my own. No one can replace you but I will be the next best thing.

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.

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!

“Haley does well with animals. She cares for 3 cats and a dog everyday with no problems or complaints. Anything that needs done she can do it!”


Mary-Ann M.
“Maryann goes above and beyond taking care of pets. Your pets will be very well looked after, and she is honest, decent, and kind. My very active German Shepherd and Aussie were extremely happy with her. She spoiled them with some home made dog food added to their kibble with my permission. I had to get her recipe. As far as pet sitters go, she is 5 star, and I would highly recommend her.”


Julie W.
“Julie is absolutely the BEST! My dog is a senior and has several considerations. He does not miss a beat when she is at my house. I appreciate that she sincerely loves animals and I do not have to worry at all. We can enjoy vacation and KNOW that he is loved and well-taken care of. I do not stress and worry if she is coming or tending on him. SHE IS THE BEST!!!!”

I’ve had her cat-sit for me a few times, and she made sure my cranky feline was fed, had plenty of water, a clean litter box, and was well loved on and adored! She even played with him, and she developed a deep bond with him. Your four legged hairy baby (cat or dog) is in good and loving hands with Virginia!”

Denise G.
“If Denise could be the pet parent of all less fortunate animals on the planet she would be in heaven. The way she cares for her own pets is such a beautiful thing to see. They are her children and she treats them as such if not better than some parents treat their own children. If you should need someone to care for your pet(s) and you want someone that will not just make sure they get fed, watered and walked but also receive love, hugs and copious amounts of belly rubs then Denise is the one you should contact.”


Sam E.
“So trustworthy! My dog loves Sam and Brad. I have used both of them to pet sit for us when we were out of town several times and it was easy to verify that they did exactly what I asked and my Vizsla loved being with them. They walked him, fed him, dispensed his medication and played with him. I felt very comfortable leaving Dakota because I knew he was being well cared for. I highly recommend either and both of of them to care for your pets.”
