They are very quick to respond whenever I have reached out to them and always send pics while Gracie is in their care. We were quite impressed on our very first visit at how clean their place looked and smelled. It is set up well to accommodate several dogs at once.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a kid. I love dogs and my whole family is very dog friendly. I currently have two of my own dogs, Blizzard my 5 year old Goldendoodle and Boomer my 8 year old Beagle. These guys are my best friends! Since rescuing my Goldendoodle Blizzard, I’ve also learned to bathe & groom him, a special skill that takes practice and patience. I work from home, so I am able to take care of the dogs and be very flexible with their walking, feeding and bathroom needs. At my house, dogs are welcome on the furniture and on the bed at night but I will respect other owners obedience/rules while caring for their dogs. We have a lot of the room in the house which even has a fun room with toy mountain, a collection of hundreds of dog toys that everyone is welcome to play with! I have a big backyard but it is not fenced in. Instead, I prefer to walk the dogs on leashes/leads or attach them to the dog-run line I have running across the backyard for playtime! I would love the opportunity to watch your dog(s) and can be flexible with short-term or long-term stays plus other accommodations. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own and give them a lot of love and care for their entire stay! I work from home, therefore I can accommodate many different types of schedules based on a dogs needs. Frequent walks, feeding or medication is no challenge throughout each day/night. Any dog who comes to stay with us will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Same goes if I am to come care for your dogs at your home. They will get plenty of love and attention with play-time and companionship!
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a pet lover. I’m a vet student in the making. Caring for animals isn’t just a hobby for me, it’s part of my future career. I take the time to really get to know each pet’s personality and needs, whether that’s helping a puppy burn off energy and learn basic manners, or giving a senior pet the extra patience, comfort, and gentle care they deserve. Because I’m passionate about animal health, I pay close attention to things like eating habits, energy levels, and behavior changes, so I can spot if something seems off and communicate that to owners right away. I’m also comfortable handling a variety of breeds, temperaments, and special needs.nFor me, pet sitting isn’t just “watching” animals it’s making sure they’re safe, happy, and thriving, while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring, capable hands. Pet care is something I fit naturally into my day. My mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or some playtime to make sure pets start the day happy and active. If I have classes, I plan my schedule so I can come by for potty breaks, belly rubs, and some one on one time in between. In the evenings, I love taking longer walks, heading to a park, or just spending time playing or relaxing together. Weekends are perfect for extra adventures like exploring trails, visiting pet-friendly spots, or giving them some extra grooming and attention. For me, pets aren’t something I try to “fit in” around my day they’re part of it. I love making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need, no matter how busy my schedule gets. Whether in my own home or in a client’s home, my priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets. I pay close attention to a pet’s personality, habits, and routines so I can adapt my care to their comfort level, whether that means providing a quiet, calm environment for shy pets or engaging in active play for more energetic ones. I also make it a point to send regular updates, photos, and notes to owners so they feel reassured and connected while they’re away. In my own home, I designate safe areas for rest, play, and meals, and I make sure fresh water is always available. In a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely everything from where the pet sleeps to how they like their walks so the pet’s routine is not disrupted. My goal is for every pet to feel secure, cared for, and happy, no matter the environment.
“Skirla (aka Sorel) is great! Sushi normally barks and growls at everyone but not her! I feel comfortable leaving my baby with her for my week long vacation and will book again when the need arises.”
“What a wonderful experience Michael and I had with Lorraine! She has a beautiful home just a few minutes drive from downtown Chattanooga, with a nice fenced in yard. We are very protective of and particular about our three Maltese pups, and we couldn't be happier with the way they were treated. Lorraine was both kind and professional. She sent us pics several times during the day to keep us posted. We give her our highest recommendation!”
“This was the first time for my dogs, Phoebe and Freddie, with Sonia at her daycare. I love the fact that she kept me informed as to how they were doing. I even got pictures of my dogs with their new friends. Sonia’s husband also gave me so pointers on how to keep Phoebe from pulling on leash. Phoebe and Freddie were exhausted when they got home! They will definitely be going back. Thank you, Sonia and Jeff!”
“Booked last minute when previous sitter backed out night before doggy day care was to begin. They also have dogs which worked out even better since my pup loves to play. This family is my “go to” when I come up to visit. Can’t thank them enough for helping us for this New Year holiday.”
“Kerri and her husband are amazing dog sitters. They sent me pictures and videos during the day and I could see that Ollie had a great time. I highly recommend Kerri and will bring Ollie back when I need another doggy day care.”

“We are very excited to have Nicole care for our dog while we are at work/school! He is usually nervous around new people but has warned right up. I know they’ll be great pals, and it brings me such peace of mind!”
About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds animals since I was 8! I’m a huge animal lover and currently have two Belgian Malinois and chickens! I work four days on, four days off, so my off days are dedicated to pet care! It allows me to be very flexible with different needs. My dogs (and chickens) are my family, and are treated as such. They are loved, spoiled, and engaged in every activity or event we are part of. I am looking to extend that to clients pets, as they should be treated like family too!

“Melissa has been wonderful with my cocker spaniel! My puppy was so excited to see her when she came to pick her up for boarding for our second time! She doesn't react like that to many people! Obviously she had been well loved while she was in Melissa's care earlier! I really appreciated the update texts and photos that she sends! I plan to use her again in the near future!”
“Valerie is amazing with my baby. She always sends pics. I call her my baby's stepmom😁. Valerie is always my 1st choice sitter. When she's not available, I'm devastated 💔. My baby absolutely loves her. My baby is blind, but when he hears her voice, he gets so excited.”
“Joanna was veryyyy flexible with the drop off and pick up time!! At arrival she showed me where my Princess Bella would be staying and Princess had her own room for her stay. Joanna provided photos at request that made my trip more enjoyable knowing my baby was adjusting to her new surroundings. On pickup day Princess Bella was gifted with a homemade crochet bandanna. I will definitely be using Joanna in the future.”
“We recently left our 8 month old Lab puppy with Sonia & Jeff for 3 nights. All went very well! Gracie has gone several times for day care, too. They are very quick to respond whenever I have reached out to them and always send pics while Gracie is in their care. We were quite impressed on our very first visit at how clean their place looked and smelled. It is set up well to accommodate several dogs at once. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for pet sitting needs.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”
“Haven and her family were wonderful! They were so friendly and welcoming when we dropped our dog off and she sent great updates throughout our trip. Her dog was so friendly and sweet also. We will definitely book with Haven again.”
“Lauren and Jeremy are a great couple who immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our dog Millie. You can tell they love having dogs and making others they are watching feel right at home. Lauren sent us a pic and kept us up to date on how Millie was doing. So happy that we have found great care for Millie when we need it!!”
“Karen was absolutely amazing with my dog Loki! It was my first time leaving him with someone in the area, and she did everything to make me feel confident and comfortable with leaving him overnight. Loki got along great with her sweet golden, the pictures were adorable. We will definitely use her again!”
“Sharon took such good care of my Sophie girl! I am so happy I found her as a sitter. She provides updates and would send me pics and videos. Sophie was very well taken care of this weekend and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
“Sabrina and her family are fabulous. Both of my dogs enjoyed their stay. When I went to pick them up, both of my dogs were excited to see me, and the one went right back up to their porch! I'd say he loved it!”
“They were AMAZING and loved my sweet pup so well! The communication, pictures, and activity they provided were incredible and they showed true care!”
“Our 120+ St. Bernard was very comfortable with Denise. We hadn't boarded him in years and where a bit nervous but he did great there and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”
“Gary took phenomenal care of our Winston. With daily pictures and updates we were reassured he was in the right hands. We will absolutely call Gary again for future trips out of town.”
“This was our first time using Melissa, and we couldn't be happier. Her rescue dog background, fenced yard, and allowing dogs on furniture made for a seamless, home-like experience for our dog Taylor. The frequent photos and videos were a huge bonus and truly appreciated, especially by our 7 yr old daughter 😊 It was clear Taylor was having fun with her dogs and happy the whole time. We'll definitely be back!”
“This was our first time using Miriam to board our fur baby Pepper for the weekend. We were a little nervous since we had a regular sitter for years until we moved a couple months ago. She helped us have peace of mind by showing us where our dog would be staying as well as asking us questions that would help her to care for Pepper. Miriam was very transparent and also introduced us to her doggie 🐶. Everything went smoothly and she kept us updated throughout the weekend. We were also pleasantly surprised that our dog was not as nervous as we thought she would be and was able to adapt quickly. Definitely recommend Miriam and will be using her services again.”
“Carol and her family were very welcoming of Remy and they took him in right at the last minute as another dog sitter did not work out due to other dogs being a little aggressive. Carol and her family took a risk having a new dog that has not been introduced to their dog and I am so grateful of that. When I came back to pick up Remy they had nothing but compliments of how well behaved my dog was as I knew my dog is very well behaved and gets along with everybody. I highly recommend Carol and her family for anybody looking for a dog sitter.”
“Mandi was great! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been happier. She sent us pics of our pup having a great time and she came home exhausted and happy!”
About: Hi, I’m the person your pets think about when you’re gone. I offer personalized pet sitting, boarding, and training with a focus on routine, trust, and real connection. Every animal in my care is treated like my own—whether that means sticking closely to their home schedule, giving them space to decompress, or matching their energy with play, structure, and attention. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments, from high-energy and “chaotic” personalities to anxious or more reserved pets. I’m also comfortable working with exotics, including reptiles and other non-traditional pets—something you won’t find everywhere. My goal is simple: ➡️ Keep your pet’s world feeling stable and familiar ➡️ Build trust through consistency and understanding ➡️ Give you peace of mind while you’re away You won’t get one-size-fits-all care here. I pay attention to the little things—feeding routines, quirks, behaviors, and body language—because that’s what makes the biggest difference. Whether your pet is clingy, independent, vocal, or a little mischievous, they’ll have a safe, structured, and genuinely caring environment with me Pet care is built into my routine to ensure consistency and reliable attention. I work four 10-hour shifts each week at a veterinary hospital and have three days off for more flexible, hands-on care. On workdays, pets receive morning and evening care including feeding, exercise, and one-on-one attention, while I keep their routine as close to home as possible. On my days off, I’m available for more time, enrichment, and individualized care. My veterinary experience also allows me to monitor health, recognize behavior changes, and administer medications if needed—giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, exercise, medication, and any specific routines, while keeping their space clean and low-stress. In my home, pets are treated like part of the household with structured care for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest, adjusted to their individual needs and energy levels. Across both settings, I provide attentive supervision, enrichment, and calm companionship, with experience recognizing behavior changes and handling medications when needed. My goal is consistent, reliable care and peace of mind while you’re away.
