Dog Sitting Ten Mile

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was a little kid. I would dog sit my neighbors animals when they would go on vacations for full weeks or weekends. I would sometimes stay at their houses overnight or go by a few times a day. It would just depend on what was requested. I work from eight to five Monday through Friday and I have all weekends off!! My schedule is pretty free and flexible throughout the weekend. I live in an apartment complex but I do have a dog park there! I also live right down from Concord park in Farragut where I can go and play and walk them.

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

“Emma was fantastic!! My usual walker had to cancel last minute and she was so quick to respond to a last minute request. Ari loved her and the pictures I got were the highlight of my day! I can tell my baby felt safe with her. It’s a great feeling to know your dog is being taken care of when you aren’t there to do it yourself. Thank you Emma from me & Ari!”

“Sabrina was amazing with both our dogs and cat! We have an anxious lab who she gave extra love and attention to and worked with. We so appreciate her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I love all dogs and genuinely care about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. In addition to caring for my family’s and friends’ pets, I previously worked for a professional pet care company that was fully insured and highly rated by clients. In that role, I was trusted with clients’ home keys, cared for pets in their homes, and maintained the high standards expected of a professional pet sitter. This experience taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and treating every pet and home with respect. I love going on walks, playing in the yard, and giving plenty of cuddles and attention. I have a toy Cavapoo puppy of my own, so I am also comfortable caring for puppies and understand that they often require extra patience, supervision, and specialized care. I also have two large dog “nephews and nieces” that I regularly spend time with, so I am comfortable handling and genuinely enjoy dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to large breeds. While dogs are my specialty, I also have experience with cats and previously lived with one, making me comfortable caring for feline friends as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I am extremely respectful of your space. I make every effort to leave your home exactly as I found it by keeping things clean and tidy, turning off lights, locking doors, and following any household instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that both your pet and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved furry family member! I am currently in a doctorate program, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the entire week. Because my schedule varies, I am often available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and other pet care needs at different times of the day. I am a naturally spontaneous and adaptable person, so working with changing schedules is something I genuinely enjoy. I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs and will work with you to ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care whenever it is needed. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. I take that responsibility seriously and always strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience. While caring for your pet, I will treat your home with the same care and consideration that I would my own. I make an effort to maintain a clean environment, clean up after myself and your pet, secure doors and windows, and follow any household instructions you provide. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that looks just as you left it, or exactly as you would expect it to be.

“She was great with our dog! Really went the extra mile when dog sitting. Took the dog out for walks and shared pictures when taking care of the dog!”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and farm animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and livestock. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For the past 26 years, I have worked as a special education teacher, which has taught me patience, responsibility, compassion, and the importance of creating a calm and supportive environment. I am looking for a fun and rewarding summer part-time opportunity doing something I truly love — spending time with animals. I currently volunteer with Friends of Feral Felines and have also volunteered with local animal shelters over the years. In addition, I have fostered both cats and dogs, helping provide them with a caring home environment while they waited for adoption. As a lifelong animal owner and caregiver, I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, extra patience, or simply companionship, I treat every animal like family. I’m a teacher currently looking for a fun summer part-time opportunity, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rats, taking care of all, whether it's feeding, playing, or general care. Your pets are family and are in good hands, whether it's a sleepover, walk, or playtime with me and 11 year old German Shepard Husky Mix. I work full time, sometimes in the office and sometimes at home. So during the week, depending on location, I can do lunch time walks or after work walks or play. Weekends are prime times for sleepovers and long walks/playtime. Dog sitting in my house only - dogs are part of the family and will be in the house with me and my dog. They're welcome on furniture and throughtout the house. My dog has free reign of the house during the day. If they are crate trained, feel free to bring that, otherwise their own bed so they have comfort away from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for lots of outdoor playtime. Please let me know if there are any needs when overnight or when alone in the house. I can accommodate separate sleeping areas and crating if nnecessary. Dogs must be friendly with other, specifically big dogs.

About: I look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me. Pet sitting helps me support my daughter’s therapies and additional needs, which makes this work especially meaningful to me. It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶 I’m able to come walk your pets or check in on them before work then play with them after work (5:30p-9p) throughout the week. And Saturday and Sundays I’m fully available/flexible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines that help your pet feel secure and at home. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family 🐾

“Paige was WONDERFUL. She came to take care of our really old lab two days in a row. She sent me texts and a pic and even said hello to our goats and chickens. We are fairly new to the Newberg area and I am so glad I met Paige. I highly recommend her as she goes above and beyond and I will not hesitate to ask her to house sit in the future. THANK YOU, Paige.”

“I originally booked Olivia for the wrong month and messaged her in a slight panic when I realized the day after leaving town that my cat had no care set up. She very kindly agreed to change the days and visited that same day after work. I can't say how much I appreciated her kind flexibility, and I will certainly ask her to look after my cat again.”

Clerk S.

“Ysalys is wonderful! My pack of dogs can be a handful and they immediately took to her. She was punctual and took great care of them which really put my mind at ease! I look forward to using her in the future”

About: Since I was a kid my idol has always been Steve Irwin, and his admiration and respect for all animals, even dressing up as him with my brothers to go out into nature and learn about all different kinds firsthand. I’ve had the pleasure and privilege of raising just about every kind of domestic animal excluding cattle and horses. So, whether it lives on land, swims in the sea, or soars through the skies, I’ve got it covered, furry, scaled, or feathered. I’ve house sat and taken care of pets for friends and family, since I was a teenager, of all different mannerisms from ghostly skittish to aggressively friendly, rest assured me and your pet will get along just fine. I’m the one you hear people referring to when they say “They usually aren’t this friendly with strangers.” I currently am only working 3 days out of the week, so Friday through Monday I am mostly free to take care of any pets that need looked after in your absence. I have grown up and raised just about every animal you can think of, from rodents to reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and everything in between apart from large cattle and horses, but I love them all the same. I will do my absolute best to ensure that your pet’s wants and needs are met and their daily routines kept uninterrupted in your stead. I do prefer to be introduced to them and shown around their environment prior to taking full care of them so that I may take notes, learn about them, and have a chance to make friends with them before they are left in my care, so that I may ensure they don’t even notice you’re gone. Care for your pets would include ensuring they have access to clean fresh water, food eaten/made available, litterboxes emptied/taken to the bathroom, any medications given, and that ample playtime/pets given for their much needed exercise.

“Nicole is amazing! She is always on time, very reliable and trustworthy, and always happy to pick up extra visits to help us out. I would 100% recommend her to take care of your babies!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years through my mom’s pet sitting business, The Funky Monkey. During that time, I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing companionship, and following owners’ care instructions. I treat every pet like my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time as a server and just completed nursing school! I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on most weekdays and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute bookings. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take the time to build trust with every pet and ensure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before the first booking so both you and your pet can feel comfortable and we can make sure it’s a great fit. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I am a dog mom to 2 reactive dogs, so I'm patient and understanding of different types of behaviors in dogs. I will care for your fur baby like they're mine! I am currently only working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your fur babies! Very open to different schedules that suit both of our needs I will always send updates and pictures from my time with your pet. I understand the stress of having a stranger care for your fur family members, and I will of course care for them like they're my own!

About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am the perfect person to watch your fur baby! I work from home, so I can give your baby 24/7 love and attention. I am also a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty every few hours. I live in an apartment, and since I work from home they will be getting ‘round the clock care, supervision, and attention!

“Elizabeth was great! I contacted her on really short notice and she was able to work with me on when I needed her to check in on my cats. She did everything I asked and was a great help! Thanks again!”

“Kelsey was so sweet and great at giving me updates while I was out of town. Would highly recommend!🐶”

About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a year with a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (two labs and a tabby cat!), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! 🐾🫶🏼 Between classes and work, Tuesdays, and weekends work best for me! Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I am pretty busy, but am able to do early mornings and evenings those days! I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes.
