“Rebecca was fantastic with my fur babies! She even made sure to clean the eye of my very shy black cat, James even though he usually runs away from new people. She was prompt when we have our initial interview and kept in touch with me when we were out of town. She's very detail orientated and you can tell she has a passion for animals!”



“I was very lucky to have Sarah take care of my dogs the first time I used Rover. She immediately had a great rapport with my pups, both well over 50 lbs and VERY enthusiastic. She sent several updates, photos included, and even walked Lucy and Mabel together. They are so rambunctious that we don't even do that! Also, Sarah was patient with my lack of expertise with the Rover app and even helped me with it. I will feel so much more relaxed now when I leave my pups knowing they are in Sarah's care.”


About: I am a life long pet owner who loves to watch my friend’s and family’s pets when they’re in need. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunnies, including fostering a cat for a friend for a few months while she was away. I am a fairly active person, so I like to go on long walks and play with very energetic animals, but I can also appreciate those who just like company or want their own space. Learning the habits, needs, and quirks of each animal is my favorite part of the job, so I can be sure your animal will get the exact kind of care they need to be happy while you’re away😊 I currently have an open schedule so I will have all the time in the world to hang out with your fur children! The only days that are busy for me are Sundays, but I will still have some time available. I will be going back to work after the new year and will be working second shift, so will have the majority of the day available then as well! I like to stick to the routines that your animals are already used to following as to reduce anxiety as much as possible while you’re away! I definitely think it’s important to give extra love and attention to show that I am a friend and am there to take care of them.

“We recently moved to knew area, which meant getting a new pet setter. We felt completely at ease from the moment we met Amithyst. / She did a good job checking in on the cats every other day while we were out of town. Also she responded promptly when texted. / We’ll definitely use her services again.”


About: Hello everyone! I have been around animals my entire life, and they fill my heart with joy. My services include; dog walking/sitting, cat sitting, farm calls, and exotic pet sitting as well. With my wide-ranging experience in animal care, your best friend will feel right at home with me. I feel comfortable around all animals, big or small, whether they have fur, slime, shells, feathers or scales! Pet care has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family has always owned animals. Whether that be dogs, cats, livestock, snakes, birds, rats, the list goes on. I was raised to love them and treat them with respect. Now that I am adult, I have taken all I’ve learned and turned it not only into a hobby I’m passionate about, but a career that I can also be passionate about; something that brings me true joy and happiness. I have three degrees related to the study and care of animals. I have also worked various jobs in the animal care field. My love for every animal I encounter only grows stronger. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your companion. Pet care has been a part of my daily life for as long as I can remember.

Can also crate them if that is something you need as well.

About: I’ve taken care of my own two dogs since I was 12 years old and have since taken care of many dog breeds and sizes.

Plus, I absolutely love spending time with dogs and making sure they're happy and well-cared for. I don’t have any pets at the moment, but I live in an apartment with a lot of green spaces.

About: Growing up, I always had a strong love and admiration for dogs. My parents always had dogs growing up and I am used to being around many different sizes and breeds. I am a server so have a very flexible schedule! I work about four or five hours at a time, so I have plenty of availability to check on your pet and give plenty of potty breaks! I am located in Wears Valley, but am willing to travel to Maryville, Knoxville, Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg! Currently, I do not own any pets as I recently moved into an apartment. Growing up, I was always consistently around dogs and cats. My grandparents owned a farm in Louisville and I often helped care for the animals there. My parents also always had dogs and cats so I am very comfortable and used to taking care of them. I also have pet sit many times for friends and neighbors!

About: Vacationing in the Smokies? Live in the area? My name is Rylie and I am located in Townsend, TN right by the Smoky Mountains National Park. I am more than happy to walk your dog around the block, go on an adventure on the trails, or just stop in while you are out! I strive for professionalism and will give my 100% to keep your pet happy and healthy and your home/accommodation safe and respected. I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, livestock, etc so I am also experienced in veterinary first aid.

Monday, Thursday, Friday I am available until 3 pm and Saturday until 2 pm. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am available all day. I work an evening shift so I am unavailable in the evenings except Tuesday and Wednesday. I am a full time RVer with pets, so I understand pet care needs while traveling or working. I care for everyone's pet as if they were my own, and stick to their normal routine and requests from the owner as much as possible. My campground has a dog park, hiking trail, and river for our dogs to play in, and if you are nearby these may be available for your dog to enjoy as well. I have an active, young lab/Shar pei mix and an older Havanese, so I can adjust to the needs and capabilities of dogs for walks and activities. They are both great on a leash and long line, and my lab mix enjoys a good play date!

“Sierra was great. Despite it being Christmas she was there for my babies. She even made friends (sort of) with my uber shy Felix. Would DEFINATELY book again. It's great to have someone close to me in the rather small town of Townsend!”
