“Shawna, does an excellent job with my two little girls. Today is one of their birthdays. She celebrated her birthday with her rounded by her wonderful family. It meant everything to me. I’ve been in the hospital and the fact that Shawna steps up to the plate for every special need, just proves to me that they’re in the right place and I will never take them anywhere else. Thank you, Shawna, for all you do.”
“Hannah is very sweet and communicative and her dogs are just as nice. I’m sure my dog and his puppy energy was a pain in the butt but if he was they didn’t let on and the photos they sent showed them getting along perfectly. I would highly recommend Hannah.”
“As always, my dog, Finnian, LOVED her time at Jessica's! It makes me so happy to know she is well taken care of there & always has other dogs to play with. This visit she had Ruby, Jessica's dog, and Dennis & Jet. She has been home for 2 days now & has slept most of the 2, she played so hard. She's an only dog at home so, I'm always so glad to know she gets to play with other dogs. I highly recommend Jessica as a sitter for your pet! I love her & won't use anybody else. This visit was our 3rd or 4th. I lost count. She always texts me updates & pictures and answers any questions I might have.”
“Kristy was amazing with my 2 poodles. They are 4 years old and have never stayed somewhere else or been without us overnight. Kristy sent many pictures and updated us often. I will feel comfortable now leaving them with Kristy.”
“Joan took amazing care of our dog! She sent updates and pictures regularly. Especially with the July 4th holiday (fireworks) she let us know how he was feeling, which gave us peace of mind :)”
“I felt uniquely at ease leaving my pup with Jeanie, who is experienced and comfortable working with high-drive large dogs with separation anxiety and behaviorial quirks! I look forward to booking again.”
“Andrew is wonderful to work with. He sent pictures of Rosie settling in and kept me posted on everything. I know Rosie enjoyed playing with the other dogs and getting to romp around in the fenced in back yard. I'll definately board Rosie with Andrew in the future.”
“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”
“Daniella was great! We were nervous to leave our young pup for the first time, but she was so reassuring. She kept us updated with several photos and videos daily while we were away! We were so grateful for that and really appreciated her taking care of her. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.”
“Penny was absolutely amazing. She was constantly sending us pictures and videos of Thor. She took great care of our baby and was very aware of dietary restrictions.”
“I was so happy with how well cared for my Rylee was taken care of! Jenny sent me several pics and videos of Rylee’s day which was a big help. I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend away knowing Rylee was doing so well and settled in comfortably. I definitely would recommend Jenny and plan on using her dog sitting service in the future! Thank you, Jenny (and husband)!”
About: We’ve both been around dogs for most of our lives, so becoming your dog’s new best friends comes pretty naturally to us. We both grew up with dogs and have experience caring for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. Over the years, we’ve watched dogs for coworkers, family, and friends and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including multiple dogs at once. Whether your pup wants to play, relax, get plenty of attention, or just follow us around the house all day, we’re happy to make them feel right at home. Our goal is simple: give your dog a safe, comfortable, fun place to stay and make sure they get plenty of love while you’re away. Our schedules are pretty consistent, which makes it easy for us to build pet care into our daily routine. We make sure there is plenty of time for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. When we’re caring for a pet, we plan around their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and settled while they’re with us. Evenings and weekends give us plenty of extra time for longer walks, playtime, and hanging out at home. We enjoy having dogs around, so pet care fits naturally into our day rather than feeling like an extra chore. Safety and trust are our top priorities. In our home, we make sure pets have a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and time to relax. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs or behaviors we should know about. We understand that every dog is different, so we take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and never force interactions. When caring for multiple dogs, we pay close attention to their personalities and supervise introductions and playtime.
“We went out of town for the holidays and had Leo stay with Caillynn again and he had a blast as usual! He apparently destroyed his blanket (no surprise) and she was kind enough to get him another one! He also came back tired and a little hoarse so he had a great time with her dogs. We are repeat customers and will continue to send Leo to her when we need! Highly recommended.”
“Allyson and Tyler were great hosts for Oso! Super responsive and flexible and gave us nice updates on his time with them. We love that Oso could play with other pups and enjoy a de fenced yard! We’ll definitely bring him back for a future stay!”
“Nicole watched our dog, Willow, for a long weekend and was great! We were sent some great photos from the stay and received a daily update of how Willow was doing. Would definitely use Nicole again!”
“Krystal was absolutely amazing! I had a cross-country move during which everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. Krystal was compassionate and flexible, and the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was whether Max was safe and well cared for. He is a city cat, so he gained a new appreciation for chicken watching, and her kiddos kept him snuggled and loved. They are a good distance from my new home, but I will make the trip for Krystal to keep him when I go out of town. She and her family were a true blessing when I needed help caring for Max. I will always be grateful.”

About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs. My journey in pet care began as a passion for animals and over the years it has involved into a deep commitment of providing top-notch care and companionship to pets of all kinds. Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.
About: There isn’t a time I can remember that I didn’t have pets. I’ve always loved caring for animals and I’m happy to extend this love and experience to caring for your pets as well! Currently, my schedule is widely available and I could spend as much time as needed with your pets. I am available every morning, all afternoons except Thursdays, and every evening. I’m also available on weekends! I have three loving cats and one very large, wonderful dog! My backyard is entirely fenced in and is complete with a wide selection of sticks from the surrounding woods. My pets are friendly and I enjoy doing necessary care tasks like feeding and grooming my pets all the way to special care when needed like medication distribution and separating pets for feeding to ensure correct portion and food.
About: I have been around animals my entire life! There was never a time I didn’t have a let of some kind. I was always helping neighbors and family members with their animals. I have worked at dog training facilities where we also had doggy daycare. I’ve worked many years at vet offices as well. Therefore my experience with pets with medical needs gives me the knowledge of taking care of your fur baby who may need a little extra attention. I am home throughout the day as well as nights and evenings so your fur babies will get all the love and play time they need! I have a large unfenced yard where your babies can enjoy running while attached to a long leash. They will get to roam around in the home as long as they are potty trained and dog friendly. I have a room that is a dedicated dog room where crates are kept for the dogs to be safely while I am away. YOUR PET MUST BE CRATE TRAINED! Please bring a crate for each dog you are boarding with me unless prior arrangements have been made! I do have a baby so your pet must be good with children.
“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”
“We are so thankful to have found Jessica! Her family takes our pup in as their own and he loves going to her house! I plan on using Jessica for all of my puppy needs in the future.”
“Jenny was great! She accommodated our request for a last minute booking and our dog was happy to spend time at her place. She sent us videos to keep our minds at ease which was very appreciated by the whole family.”
“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Amanda was awesome! She provided several updates throughout the day and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. Dora had a great time with her pups and enjoyed her stay!”
About: I am an absolute dog lover and have taken care of dogs for over 15 years! I can handle puppies and adult dogs with ease.

I have a big front and backyard and a friendly dog that can play with your baby. Unfortunately it is unfenced, however I make sure to keep close supervision. We can play inside or outside, whichever is preferred.
“Absolutely amazing! They both were so welcoming with our dogs and I felt they were very happy and content right from getting there! Communication was great and the photos/videos really helped put me at ease. Will definitely book again!”
“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”
“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
“Mysty was so happy with Lauryn because she was so attentive to Mysty and her son, he played with her son for hours!! She sent me pics and 1 video that made me and my hubby laugh so hard!! Her son was FANTASTIC and they chased each other around the house!! I would I highly recommend Lauryn to anyone!! She took care of our Mysty soo well!! We will use her alway!! 100 OUT OF 10!!”

Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life.

About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.

“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”
About: I own 2 super sweet dogs! I have had pets all my life gowing up and i was the one to take care of them. I’ve done many dog sitting jobs as walk ins and as staying over night. I love getting to bring joy to the lonely animals while families are gone! I am able to come at any times around my classes. I have a very light schedule with in person classes. I work one job 2 days a week for very short hours. I am very flexible and able to help with whatever. I always make sure to check the food and water. I like ti let them out but also get them moving when i come to get out some energy! I also will always give good love to the sweet animals:)

“We went out of town for the holidays and had Leo stay with Caillynn again and he had a blast as usual!

We are repeat customers and will continue to send Leo to her when we need! Highly recommended.”

“Trey and his fiancé are amazing! Super responsive and flexible. My dog is a pretty anxious guy, but he fit right in and clearly had a great time—he was worn out when we got home and just went right back to his normal routine. I’d absolutely bring my dog back if needed!”
“Always a pleasure leaving Jake with Lauryn and Kadabra. They really get along and I constantly get updates on him throughout his stay. I will most certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you!!”
