Skylar did a wonderful job taking care of our pups and our house while we were gone for almost two weeks! She came for a meet and greet a few weeks before the trip so that our dogs would recognize her. She also sent a few updates with photos while we were gone and I could tell that the dogs were super relaxed. She left our house in great shape and our dogs appear to be happy/healthy. Unfortunately we’re about to move, but if we were staying in Knoxville we would 100% hire her again.

We just recently moved to Knoxville and had been a little anxious about finding a new dog sitter. Courtney was such a great sitter to our two sweet pups while we were on vacation. We got a lot of picture and message updates throughout our trip. She also made sure the girls were cared for up until we got home when we were running behind due to traffic! We will definitely be hiring again in the future ☺️

Leanne was the best sitter we could have asked for. Our travels plans got messed up and the pups had some medical issues pop up and she kept us so informed and the dogs taken care of. She absolutely went above and beyond for them, and made sure they got plenty of exercise as well!

About: I've had a love for animals since I was a toddler. Growing up, I use to visit my grandparents place and play with their dogs. And even though I liked being around animals in general, dogs were always my favorite to be around. And then eventually, I started having dogs of my own and learned how to take care of them. At the moment, I'm currently working part-time but am always looking to pet sit for extra income. I'm available throughout most of the week for drop-in visits and occasional overnight house sitting throughout summer breaks and holidays. I always clean up after myself when in the company of other peoples homes. And while looking after your fur babies in your home, I will make sure to clean up after them as well. Another thing that's important for me when caring for your pets is knowing their needs. This is because I want to make sure while sitting that I'm caring for your pets in the absolute best way I can. That they will be loved and cared well for as if they were my own.

Communication was excellent throughout, and we had zero issues. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her care. Highly recommend! 🐾

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to household pets, including seniors and puppies/kittens. I’ve been a foster with Young-Williams Animal Center since 2019 and love providing a safe, happy home for animals who make our lives richer and more loving. I currently work an 8:30 AM–5:00 PM job with a one-hour lunch break and live just five minutes from the office. I also work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me added flexibility. I have a spare bedroom in my condo, and the space I provide depends on the animal’s size. For kittens, I often use the spare bathroom, keeping them warm with food, water, and a litter box nearby. For dogs, I set up their pen in the spare room with all their supplies. I also have a large fenced-in back patio where dogs can go outside, play, and run safely.

She came at last minute request and made herself available for all week. My dog is finicky, so I'm not sure how much interaction they had besides throwing the ball a few times. I didn't get any photos thru the dtay, but she also knew I was at hospital with my mom. Overall , I would use her again in an emergency, but I'm trying to get my dog to be out of kennel completely

Ethan was a great communicator. I adopted a rescue earlier this year who's very skittish with strangers. Ethan communicated behaviors and what he did, which was appropriate. Poor pups didn't get a walk because he wouldn't let Ethan put a leash on him. This dog has decided I'm his person and he's not taking chances! But he wasn't traumatized upon my return so I know Ethan's energy was a good match. My house is also under contract and Ethan was able to adapt to changing demands to accommodate.

Helena J. was very knowledgeable and friendly sitter! She has a lot of experience and sent lots of pictures and feedback during her stay while we were awaay. We did not ask her to clean-up afterwards but she even did a load of laundry for the linens used. Above and Beyond! Our house was just as we left it when we returned after a long day of travel...AND Our menagerie (2) basset's and (1) cat seemed very happy, like they didn't even miss us. That is all a fur baby parent can ask for!
