“I cannot say enough good things about Eric! He came over to meet my stranger-danger pup a few days before I went out of town and has above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe,comfortable and well cared for while I’m gone! The updates I’ve gotten throughout my trip have reassured me that they are having a great time while I travel. I’ll definitely be having him pet sit again!”
“Grace stayed overnight with my 3 month old puppy. She spent the whole night with him, kept up with his feeding and potty schedule and my aparment was exactly how I left it when I got back. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a pet they love!”

About: As a passionate pet lover, I can assure you that your pets are in great hands. If your pets appreciate special love and attention then you have reached the right person. I have grown up with pets and have had a pet throughout most of my life, so pet care comes naturally. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and I love them all. If your pet requires walks and playtime I am more than happy to offer that and more. I have an incredible passion for pets so love and care will be what they will receive. I retired a few months ago, so I am available for pet care 7 days a week for as many daily visits as would be needed. Overnight stays at your home or mine can be an option. Prior to my retirement, I was able to pet sit part-time. Now I am available and excited to be able to help more people with their pet care needs on a full-time basis. In your home, your pet will have the same loving care that you give them. But beware, they may get a little extra spoiled under my care.
“Beth was amazing to have as our pet/house sitter, making our 10-day vacation stress-free! She's an excellent communicator, and both responsible and responsive regarding all facets of home and pet care. We have 2 young cats who can be a bit shy around new people- but they loved Beth immediately and are honestly probably bummed that we're back! The house was left in excellent condition as well (not that we expected any different, but just saying:). As I'm sure is the case with all pet owners, we're always a little anxious about leaving the cats for long periods of time but really had no stress about it whatsoever on this occasion. We will definitely look to book Beth or our next time away! Thanks again!”
About: My husband and I work from home full time currently, are flexible, we adore dogs, and have 15 acres and would love to hang with your pup(s)! We walk several times a day, enjoy staying active hiking and outdoors, and staying at home. We have had dogs most of our lives. My husband has had dogs when he was growing up.

We do not have any dogs/cats of our own. We can pickup/dropoff pets.
“After meeting Ali, we felt completely at ease having her house sit for us. She did such a wonderful job taking care of our dog Clementine, and left the house spotless! Ali is very conscientious and caring, and she went above and beyond in her duties.”
“All of Lucy’s dietary and medication requirements were followed and met. Was sent frequent updates and pictures of how she was doing. My apartment was exactly the way I had left it upon return. Trustworthy and reliable. Would book again.”
“Deb did great with all of our pets. She arrived on time, was able to quickly develop a rapport with the dogs. We received an update text and pictures during our trip which were much appreciated. We will be using her again!”

About: My name is Sara. I’m a UT grad living in Greeneville. I have several years experience watching pets here and there and I'm a life-long pet owner!

I also have a large mix breed dog who is extremely friendly. We have a nice large fenced yard for your pups to run and play, but they will not be left unattended! I look forward to working with you! I am recovering from a medical event and trying to get back on my feet, so right now my schedule is very open! I am available most days.

Palmer and Goose love to play in the yard with any dog friends who come stay with us, and they share their toys very well with others. On some occasions, we are able to take care of more than one dog at a time. Please let me know if this will be an issue for you or your dog! My husband and I know how important your pup is to your family and we will take the best care of them as if they were our own! Thank you for considering us!

About: Home is where your heart is as your pets are in your heart, I take care of both while your away on vacation or a work trip. My fur babies are my world. So you can be rest assured I care for yours as they're my own! I can assist with pet care in your home or mine. I offer dog walking for when you are at work or away from home on holiday. Playtime is paramount for most pets. It keeps them engaged and happy. Dogs that are active should have extra activities while you're away. I'm an active person and I believe it's your pets utmost health benefit to have lots of playtime and outdoor time! I also have fostered and pet sit for elderly or more low key dogs and always provide just the right amount of activity to take any limitations so not to strain or over do. I am currently taking dog behavioral training classes. I have some behavior training for dogs to best understand your pet. As I am always seeking to further my studies. I have lead trained, potty trained, and offered basic training during my time of sitting. Do not hesitate to schedule a meet and greet. Be happy to meet ya! I do work full-time, but mostly from home. Pets need to be OK on their own without constant supervision and pets have to be playful and friendly with others. I have several pets of my own. I do separate dogs I pet sit from my dogs after playtime so each of them can rest. I do separate during eating times as well.

I'm retired and in good health and have plenty of time to exercise. My two dogs keep me active and love to ride everywhere I go. My dogs are inside dogs mostly because of the traffic in my neighborhood. I walk them when they need to go outside or supervise closely.
About: I am a "fur momma" to our rescue is Rhea; 11 y/o 22 lb jack russell terrier, beagle mix. She is like watching NASCAR fueled by narcotics.

I work very well with all animals and a trusting individual that strives on integrity and work ethic. I currently work a full-time, dayshift job. After work hours puppy lovins is something I look forward to at the end of my day. Research shows that it helps boost serotonin levels, especially in my line of work.
