House Sitting in Surgoinsville

“Christy is the best dog sitter I have ever had. Our dog is very old and needy. She was so sweet with him and sent me pics all weekend of things he was doing. She kept me updated on how he was eating and taking his meds because I was worried he wouldn't do either while we were gone. I’m so thankful I found her and I have already booked another pet sitting appointment with her. Hire her, you wont be disappointed!”

About: I have owned several pets in my life, dogs and cats. I have ample experience in caring for and raising said animals. I specifically have a cat currently, Autumn, who I found as a stray in the woods as a kitten and raised her to a healthy state. I am currently working a 4-10's schedule with flexible days. So long as I have two weeks in advance, any day should be okay. On those off days, I mostly stay at home, so your animals will receive plenty of care. I have two cats, of whom I take care of well. Each has their own litter box and I ensure both get a fair share of wet food while also ensuring they don't get overfed. I also ensure to play with them at least twice a day. I have an unfenced yard but am willing and able to walk the dog directly on a leash, my yard is large enough to walk them in the yard itself.

“Stacy was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and our home. She communicated with very well - A++ - and that is so important to us! Our dog was in great spirits when we came home from our trip which lets us know she received top notch care! Highly recommend Stacy!”

“Blakely is fantastic! She came for a meet/great with our dog who loved her instantly. She has great communication, followed through with everything I asked and left our home near and tidy. I’m so glad to have her as a sitter for our girl!”

“Jennifer was wonderful! She came to the RV park we were in and sat with Rocket (our lab) all day long while we took our two grandsons to Dollywood. Without her services we would not have been able to have such a memorable experience with the boys. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask for her again while in the area. Rocket loved her indeed!! Thank you!!!!”

I also have an English Cocker Spaniel named Ollie, who reminds me every day how important quality care and love are for our furry family members. 🐾 As a college student currently on break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, feedings, medication administration, and companionship throughout the day while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines.

Always make sure they have food and water. Clean and groom them. They need to treated as family. As if their your children. Fostered many dogs and cats that were strays, dropped off in neighborhood, or kittens or puppies that were left put in cold. Im a caregiver for work, so I treat animals the way I treat my clients. Friendly, outgoing, love the outdoors type of person. Took several kittens and mom on camping vacation once cause had no one to take care of them. If I had a farm; WOW!! It wud be great!!! Pet care fits into my everyday routine. I have multiple animals I take care of on a daily basis. Animals and outdoors are a priority. Have plenty of property for them to run and play. Plenty of room to walk and see nature.Great exercise for me, animals and great nature.

“Cara was amazing with my 11 month old golden puppy. She followed all the instructions and used to send pupdates everyday. Also while leaving on the last night she made sure the place is clean and things are in place. She stayed with him for about 20 days and was the reason we were able to enjoy our holiday. She’s a perfect choice as she treats every pet as her own”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve been blessed to love and care for pups of all ages — from energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra gentleness and attention. Growing up around dogs taught me more than just the basics of feeding and walking. It taught me how to read their body language, understand their different personalities, and recognize when they need comfort, space, playtime, or reassurance. Every dog is different, and I truly respect that. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. They’re family. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, sticking closely to their routine, or just quiet cuddles on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your dog won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine love. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to be fully present and flexible for your fur babies. My schedule is very open, so I’m available most days and times to provide attentive, loving care. Because I’m not juggling a full-time job outside of the home, your pet won’t be left alone and will receive consistent supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I truly enjoy being home and caring for animals, so pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to give each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. 🐶💛 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walk times, medications, and bedtime habits — because I know consistency helps reduce stress. Pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and rest. Since I stay home, they’re rarely left alone and always have someone nearby to make them feel safe and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure feeding instructions, walk schedules, medications, and any special care needs are followed exactly as requested. I keep things tidy, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal in either setting is the same — to treat your fur baby like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Very friendly and great with my 2 cats. Also very flexible when it came to unexpected changes in plans! Will definitely book again.”

“All I can say is Gad is awesome.we just completed a two week trip and Gad took care of our fur babies while we were gone . Our dogs loved him and he spent a lot of time with them. They are both senior dogs and need a lot of care . Pills twice a day etc… and Gad went over and beyond expectations. One of my dogs wasn’t eating for a couple of days and Gad even bought him chicken and grilled it on the grill for him . Well needless to say my dog ate . Gad is very respectful and very responsible. I would highly recommended Gad .”

About: I love being around and taking care of pets. I can't wait to meet yours! I have two dogs of my own and they are both the sweetest dogs I could've asked for. I am currently and looking for short term work with pets before I move. I cannot wait to meet and help take care of your pets! I have a good sized outdoor play are, I can crate my dogs if needed however they love to play and are super friendly, both are very well trained !

About: I’ve always been around animals and have always loved them! I approach very gently and bring snacks or treats as long as it’s allowed and no allergies, toys of course, walks to parks if allowed, to pools, I just love spoiling pets in the best ways they can be! If you need me to put any medication or give anything I can do that for you! I work full time but am able to take as much time to walk pets or run any errands I need to, I’m in car sales so it’s pretty lenient, any time off I’m available to do anything I just clean at home or hangout with my Godchild and best friend! Making sure anything is put away that can be broken or torn; I always call it baby proofing the house because if it’s baby proofed it’s pet proof, as long as no baby toys are around lol. In my home; I separate my kittens from the other pets and assure they get along first and let them smell any of their toys or anything that has their scent and vise versa to get them accustomed to the other animal

“Sierra stepped in last minute and was fabulous! She was very personable to us humans and very attentive to our furry baby. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Jordan! She went above and beyond. She texted updates and pictures everyday. Even surprised our dog with a goodie bag. Took him for some walks. He started to not eat good and she went and got him something she thought would entice him with our approval. We are very particular who watches our dog. We definitely will seek Jordan out again. Thank you again Jordan!”

About: I've taken care of pets for over 14 years. I currently have a 14 year old terrier mix and 9 year old pit bull mix. I'm very familiar with caring for senior dogs and any special needs they might need. If you're pet has a quirky habit or need, I'm your gal! I know it can be so heartbreaking to leave your pets behind for a trip or work and I want to provide the comfort and peace of mind when they stay with me. I have lots of kisses to give and I love animals of any size! I am a work from home dog mom myself Mon-Fri so your pets can stay with me in my office all day. And I'm available most all weekends. I have a fenced in back yard that is about a quarter acre in a quiet neighborhood in the Boones Creek area of Johnson City. The back deck also has a gate at the top of the steps to provide extra security for the little ones or seniors who may have trouble. I am ok with animals being on the furniture so your pets can be as comfortable as possible in my home.
