About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I have always had dogs as pets, but in addition coworkers, friends, and family members have trusted me to house sit and walk their dogs. Animals are my passion, and I have always adored getting to take care of them and have some fun along the way! I am a full-time college student, but I have a lot of free time in my afternoons, and when summer break starts, I will be available full time. For now, I am keeping my availability to afternoons on all days of the week for dog-walking and house-sitting. For my pets at home, I have a fenced-in yard for the pups to run around in. I also have crates for when I am away, so I am used to multiple ways of keeping dogs safe and secure in a home. I am adaptable to whatever way my clients may take care of their pets, including, but not limited to feeding times, potty schedules, and use of a crate if needed.


About: My pets are not just my pets...they are my children, and your pet will get the exact same treatment in my home. They will cared for in what they need to live but also in what they need to feel loved. I will make sure your pet feels as comfortable as he/she can while you are away. I go above and beyond for my dog, so yours will get the exact same; i want them to feel like they have a person on their side while their actual person is away. I can simple groom (clip nails, trim paw hair, bathe, etc) if needed. I will also make sure you have a pic/text as an update during the day because I know you will miss them just as much as they miss you!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, I ALWAYS give 110% when taking care of someone’s fur children! Pets are an important part of our lives! I have puppy training experience and love meeting and playing with new puppies! My own dog is diabetic and requires daily injections so I am very comfortable caring for senior and medically complex dogs. Open communication is important to me so we both know what to expect and I love sharing my time with your pets and sending photos so you know how much fun we are having! I have full time availability Monday through Friday and am available on the weekends as needed. I am excited to spend a lot of time throughout the week with pets! My chocolate Labrador retriever Ollie was diabetic. He received 26mL of insulin 2x a day along in the scruff of his neck with his food needing to be watered down due to it being a choking hazard. I would take care of ANY pet like I took care of him. I will stop in to check on your pets, play with them to get their energy out, snuggle with them, and make sure they have everything they need including walks, food, water, treats, play time, and medication.

About: I am a life long pet owner who loves to watch my friend’s and family’s pets when they’re in need.

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. I have also cared for insects, reptiles, a small vivarium, and many houseplants and gardens if your plants or other critters need a check in too! 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!

When looking to my pricing, pricing is dependent on distance traveled and bathing rates start at $25. I typically use Fresh N’ Clean shampoo, but can use whatever is preferred. I have experience caring for shy/uneasy pups, as well as pups on both ends of the age spectrum. I currently work part time, so my availability is rather flexiible. It is a lot easier for me to do drop in visits when the stop is closer to me 😊 MY pets have free run of our yard, however for anyone else’s pet, I would either leash them or if the yard is fenced, let them run there. It’s important to stay outside with them to monitor and make sure the pets aren’t escape artists.
