House Sitting in Tellico Village

“This was our first time using Karen and our Jack Russell pups seemed very comfortable with her. One of them doesn't make friends easily with strangers but was laying at her feet soaking up petting after about 10 minutes. Karen took great care of our home and pets while we were away.”

“Kim was very good with communicating and being very detail oriented with Bob’s routine. Bob enjoyed his weekend and so did I knowing that he was well taken care of! I will definitely book with Kim again!”

About: I have been caring for other people’s animals since I was a teenager and have been around all types since I was very young. From dogs to cats to ferrets to fish, I have cared for them all! Young or old or even a little special, I’ll treat them all as my own ♥️ My schedule has recently opened up quite a bit so I can provide more care for my current and new pet owners. I have two cats of my own that I take care of and divide my time during the week between them and my other pet sitting critters. I’m more than happy to stay with pets in the home for an extended amount of time or even just to check in and play with them ♥️ I normally will go to the client’s home and care for their fur babies there. I often will ask them to provide a list of details on what needs to be done, where things are located, and if there’s any additional information I need to know in regards to their pets (ex: vet info, medications, behavior). The more details I have, the better I can care for your fur babies!

About: I’m a proud dog mom to two pups—one full of energy and the other a total couch potato—so I’m used to handling different personalities! I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I’m currently studying online for my real estate license, so my schedule is super flexible! I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs—whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else—that’s why I prioritize communication and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’m happy to accommodate any special requests or needs your pet may have.

“April was really great. She took care of ritz like he was her own. She played with him, gave him treats and loved on him. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Stephanie was amazing with our sweet Charlie and she totally put our mind at ease after we had to go out of town for a medical procedure and we were so worried to leave our dying baby. He is in his last days and on comfort care. Stephanie took extra care of him, letting him sleep beside her and gave him plenty of TLC while we were away and even sent pictures frequently. I couldn’t ask for more. He was quite calm and cozy when we got home. I would definitely look her up again if they need arose. I felt so comfortable from the moment I first spoke to her. Thank you so much for the peace of mind which is worth everything to us!”

“MaShon provided such a great experience while we were out of town. She had great communication from the very beginning, and our pups absolutely loved meeting her and being under her care. We appreciated all of the updates and photos we received while we were gone. And, she left the house in perfect condition! We will definitely book with her again!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from energetic puppies to giant breeds! I currently have a 4 month old Great Dane named Ozzy, so I’m no stranger to fast-growing pups with big personalities. I also dog-sit regularly for a Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I understand the importance of routine, gentle training, and giving each pet the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just snuggles on the couch, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. In addition to personal experience, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter and worked at a kennel, where I handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including shy rescues, reactive dogs, and those with medical needs. I’ve supported everything from group playtime and walks to feeding, crate training, medication routines and managing multiple pets at once—including cats, rabbits, and birds! Pet care is a part of my daily life—I build my routine around the animals I care for. As a pet parent myself, I’m used to early morning feedings, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain their usual routines. Whether I’m hosting a dog in my home or visiting pets in theirs, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to fit specific feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and medication if needed. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s a meaningful and fulfilling part of my day. Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. Whether it’s making sure gates and doors are securely closed, using proper leash techniques, or keeping harmful items out of reach, I take every precaution to create a secure environment. I’m trained and experienced in recognizing signs of stress or discomfort so I can intervene early and keep your pet calm and safe. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I approach every new animal with patience and respect, allowing them to get comfortable at their own pace. Communication with owners is open and transparent—I provide regular updates, photos, and feedback to ensure you always feel confident and informed about your pet’s care. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home. Whether in your space or mine, I adapt to their routines and preferences, providing consistency that helps reduce anxiety and supports their well-being.

“Kiersten is an accomplished young woman with a gift caring for animals. I have a skittish rescue cat who thrived under Kiersten's care. I would have her take care of Scooter again and highly recommend her to others”

“Cheryl is absolutely the best! She went over and above our expectations. She kept us well informed about our dog while house sitting. We couldn’t have been more pleased.”

“Caterina went above and beyond for our English Shepherd! Always communicated with texts and pictures. She knows her animals :) 10/10 recommend!”

“Shannon did a wonderful job with Posie. Posie has some anxiety issues and Shannon was able to handle them without a fuss. She arrived early and stayed later than I anticipated. She also provided updates on Posie as well as pictures which I really appreciated. I will be using Shannon as my go to dog sitter from here on out. I just hope she’s available because her rates are probably too low for the services she provided.”

“Ella was super great with our little puppy! We are brand new to the area with no family or close friends, but Ella made it so easy to leave our little guy in her care! She did what we asked, sent pictures, & stayed in touch with us throughout the weekend! We definitely recommend and would use her again!”

Abi G.

“Wendy was excellent with Bodhi and Grace and took care with my home. She shared multiple updates on the dogs, walked them, and was flexible. I highly recommend Wendy and will use her again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Deaf, 20 years old female. Ever since I first can remember, I always love to be around animals. Growing up, we have two amazing dogs, Pogo and Molly. (Unfortunately, Molly passed away last year.) Later on, while I was in middle school, we got amazing family cat, Zuzu. We used to take care of goats. (Tons of babies!) I would sometime going to neighbor and take care of their horses. I always took the offer to take care of dogs for neighbor while they are on vacation. I love to meet new animals everyday. There are couples of time where stray pets wander to our yard. I would take most responsibility to take care and make sure they are okay till they find their home. I used to volunteer at shelter animals and take some course for Vet assistant. I’m very flexible and faster to learn. (All we need to do is communicate through phone text or write paper!) I’m available at any points. I’m willing to work from early morning to midnight during weekdays and weekends. I would like if you let me know 3-4 days in advance. I am committed to giving pets my full attention. I would absolutely love walking them and feeding them, and I will make sure they always have fresh water. If you have a brush for dogs or cats, I would be happy to groom them as well. I will ensure they are okay and immediately let you know if anything seems wrong. I am attentive to their behavior, noticing if they need space or are hungry, and I will give them a calm, safe environment if they are nervous or uncomfortable around strangers.

“Chelsea was soooo good for our dog. She sent pictures, took her on walks and gave her tons of love! She was on time even! I would definitely book her again!”

About: I am here for all of your pet needs! Simple dog walk? Dinner time for your exotic pets? Overnight stay? Puppy/kitten care? I’m there! I am experienced in all aspects. I have owned many mammals, reptiles, fish, and arachnids. I have volunteered at my local animal shelters and animal rescues since I was in middle school. I would receive service hours for bathing litters of puppies and walking large dogs around the shelter. When I began high school, my family started fostering animals. We would foster entire litters of kittens at once and raise them until they were adopted. My family also took in dogs that needed a temporary home. I have also been compensated for boarding friends' and family's dogs -from dashound to bernie doodle- we love all sizes! I have enjoyed every second of volunteering, pet sitting, and fostering. I am excited for what the future holds for me and Rover! I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, or feed your pets! I am an animal lover who has a passion for treating pets like royalty. At home, I have a dog, a cat, a lizard, and a spider whom I love and care for daily. Thankfully, my family loves them too, and they take care of them while I am away. Your pets will be treated like royalty. They will have my full attention and lots of love. I want details of your pets day to day lives so I can keep them stimulated and fulfilled! I walk my dog, Breezy, every day. We love afternoon walks, but lately they have been evening walks due to the pavement being so hot. Breezy also has a variety of stimulation activities that we set up for her daily. Snuffle mats, puzzles, and interactive treat toys that require paw-eye coordination. I offer services to cats as well. I can love and pet your kitty for hours! I can also comb fur, brush teeth, and trim claws. I make cat toys very fun and exciting with high-energy play, and I provide many cat trees and scratchers.

About: Owned dogs and cats all my life. I’ve raised English Bulldogs for 30+ years. Experience in newborn to elderly care. I’ve babysat for friends and family more time than I can count. I’m currently retired so my schedule is open and would love to take care of your pets as they were my own. Plenty of time to spoil your babies I have a fenced yard and a crate if needed. I currently own 1 eight year old cat. Cat can be put upstairs if needed for her safety. I have plenty of experience in rotating animals if one has issues with another.

About: I have trained and had dogs until last year. With my travel schedule it isn't fair to keep an animal boarded. I haven't met many dogs that aren't drawn to me. They are a better judge of character than most people. I work from home and only leave yo go deliver quilts or to the fabric and grocery store. I need a reason to take better walks and naps. I do not have a dog currently, and my yard is not fenced, but am a huge fan of leashes and walking cords to give dogs their space to do their business.

“Kelly was wonderful! Sent pictures and was available last minute following directions to a T…I would use her again in a heartbeat”
