“Wow! Anna was such a pleasure to watch our cats while we were out of town for 5 days. She was very thorough and gave them great attention. She included awesome photos of my 3 cats with every visit, we looked forward to every update! Looking forward to booking with her again!”

“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”

“Thanks again, Allison, for taking such good care of our boy. He's never stressed out when we get home, but quite content. Such a comfort to know he's getting quality time with you!”

“Isabella did a lovely job taking care of our kitties! The highlight of our evening was getting the photos and videos when we were away. Will definitely rebook her again:)”


About: Hello! I am Stephanie, a neuroscience/pre-med/psychology student at UTK! With my education, I apply it to my job as your caretaker. For as long as I can remember, we have always had fur babies in our house from cats to dogs to lizards and frogs! I remember every single baby having a significant contribution to my personality and who I am now. My current best friend is my cat Sashi! Sashi is a kitty I found as a stray around town. I took her in and the rest is history! Each pet is unique with their own quirks, personalities, and conditions. Sashi has separation anxiety, and I couldn’t imagine leaving her alone for a long period of time. I understand what it means to understand, take care of, and appreciate our fluffy friends that are in our lives! I have experience pet sitting animals of all kinds from farm animals, to big, playful dogs, to small, shy cats. I have taken care of for extended periods of time dogs with medical conditions such as seizures, paralysis, partial blindness, and behavioral issues with other dogs. I care for animals of all ages and sizes! I am very knowledgeable with cats in their behavior, body language, and physical well-being. I am very physically fit to be able to run or walk fast and long (no, seriously I can run 5 miles under an 8 minute pace) and lift a heavy amount of weight. No matter the task, I will have no problem! Besides occasional obligations from school, I have plenty of time every day to play, exercise, love on, and feed your fur-babies! I am available multiple hours throughout the day and can stay home full time around my school schedule! I provide services from your home for your pets comfort. I can drive pets if necessary. I will follow strict instructions, clean any mess, and become best friends with your companion. I provide all services from your home and can stay as long as needed that work within schedule! I request information about temperament with humans and other animals, potty training, temperament with car, any special quirks, allergies, any past trauma that is relevant, allergies, leash aggression, and any at home rules for furniture.
“Absolutely would recommend! Leah was very flexible when we needed to add a couple of visits. She was great with my pups and I adored the pics she sent of my fur babies”

About: Hey there! I’m Zen, and I have been taking care of pets for friends and family since I was a kid. Not to mention I’ve had several pets over the years, cats and dogs. I would be honored to have to the pleasure of looking after your fur babies! I’m currently doing a cross country road trip in my mini RV, and services like Rover help me stay on the road! My availability is very accommodating and I can be there for your pet any time, day or night. I will always strive to ensure that your pet is the most comfortable they can be. Whether it’s offering them treats, playing with them, or simply spending time in their presence to so they don’t feel lonely. Whatever is necessary, I can surely make happen.
About: Hi! I’m a former vet tech who loves caring for dogs of all kinds. Since I work from home most of the week, I have lots of flexibility for long walks, quick potty breaks, dog-park fetch sessions, or trips around town. I’m currently without my own dog, so I can’t wait to enjoy some quality companionship with yours! Especially love the big, older dogs but I’m also happy to help with younger pups! I work from home part of the week and I am home during the weekends so I’m happy to spend lots of quality time with your furry friend! I also have neighbors who work from home so if there’s ever anything needed when I am at the office, there will always be help available. In my home, depending on what you do at your home, I am happy to have the dog in a crate or free range. I also have a large patio so we can enjoy some sunshine time together as well. My complex does have a dog park and we live next to a walking trail so outside time will not be an issue however if your dog loves just snuggling and staying indoors. I am fine with that vibe as well.
“Taylor is the best to my two cats, Kit and Rip! The pictures and visit cards are always detailed and really appreciated when I’m out of town I know they are well taken care of :)”


About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years and absolutely love it. I jump at the chance when a friend or family asks me to take care of their pets! I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter where we got to play with the animals, learn about their behaviors, and clean up after them. My favorite thing to do is take them on walks or just simply hang out. I have lots of experience pet sitting and would love to take care of yours! I’m currently working part-time from home and have flexible hours during the week and weekend. I’d be happy to help out with your pet whenever you need. I have a family dog who I feed, take outside, and play with when I am back home. I am able to do the same for yours!
“Ms. Jordan has been wonderful! From the initial interview meeting to scheduled then cancelled visits, to the real thing - she's been very communicative. Our fur kids loved her visit, and I did too. We received updates and pics. We're grateful to have found her! I hate to recommend her though because that means she may be too bust and not able to come when we need her. ;-) I won't be selfish like that though. Thank you, Ms. Jordan.”

“Elle did a great job checking in on Charlie while I was away. She was on time, communicated well before and throughout the visit, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Jessi is absolutely wonderful and took incredible care of our pack while we were away! We could tell from regular updates with adorable photos they were being well cared for and loved. It was such a relief knowing our fur babies were in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Jessi is the best, and we’ll definitely be booking them again. Highly recommend!”


About: Grown up with dogs, cats, ducks, etc. Had a beagle for 15 years, and I've taken care of many friends and family's pets over the years. I have experience with puppies up to senior dogs. I run a small business on the weekends, so sometimes I work 1 or 2 Sundays. But I am generally available Sunday - Wednesday for walking. I have rescue cats and ducks so I take care of them in mornings and evenings. If a dog ever needs to stay with me I have a fully fenced half acre lot they can run around, not including the 1/3 acre fenced off for my ducks. And my cats have been raised alongside dogs their whole life.

Anna was amazing. Our cats had some unexpected behaviors with us leaving them both for the first time. Anna took great care of them and us informed on everything so we would not worry. She went above and beyond. She cares for your pet like her own. I highly recommend her!!

I had a great experience with her caring for my cat. She stopped by to make sure my cat had plenty of food and fresh water, and she took the time to play with her and give her some attention. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and it gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was well looked after while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Kathleen has been the best looking after my puppy. She's always on time and goes the extra effort to send me updates with pics after each visit, which is greatly appreciated since it's helped document my puppy's growth. (She is a great photographer!) It's tough being away from my pup and to have someone I can trust to look after him...but Kathleen has been the best. Kathleen has made it so I don't have to worry. Worth it! Thank you, Kathleen. We are going to miss you!
