“Shawna took great care of my dog. Very kindhearted and caring for the animals. The communication was excellent between us. She updated me daily with pictures while I was away on my trip. Once I picked him up and got home I noticed how tired my dog was, which let me know that Shawna gave him plenty of exercise throughout the day. I will definitely be using her service again!”

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“Aric did a great job with our 3 yr old Rottweiler. Our dog has never stayed with anyone before and our first experience with a full blown kennel over a year ago was a call to come get your dog after he was there for less than 1 hour. He ended up coming on our trip with us. This time we managed to be away for roughly 5 days and the dog was happy at Arics, happy dog, = happy owners! Will definitely use again!”
“Alexa did a great job watching my dog for me while I was out of town for my birthday. She sent pictures of her and comforted her during a thunderstorm. Alexa was great communicating on the app and giving updates throughout the week!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have spent the last several years providing dedicated pet care for friends and family. My experience ranges from standard pet sitting to managing more complex care requirements, ensuring that every animal in my charge feels safe and well-attended. I am highly comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds. Beyond basic care, I have significant experience assisting dogs with special needs, including the accurate administration of medications. In addition to my canine experience, I am fully equipped to care for cats and all of their specific needs. My background also extends to farm animals; I have hands-on experience caring for chickens, goats, pigs, and turkeys. If you have a multi-pet household, I am more than capable of managing several animals at once, ensuring each one receives the attention they deserve. I am available any day of the week for evening bookings starting after 6:00 PM. I understand that schedules can change unexpectedly, so I am open to last-minute requests and overnight stays within this timeframe. Whether you need an evening check-in or extended overnight care, I am committed to providing your pets with a high-quality, stress-free experience. While I do not offer boarding services in my own home at this time, I specialize in providing dedicated care within the comfort and familiarity of your pet's own environment. I am available for evening care (after 6:00 PM) and overnight stays, ensuring your home remains secure and your pets remain in their established routines. I believe that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs. I take extra care to be exceptionally gentle and patient, especially with pets that may be shy, senior, or have special requirements. Whether I am administering medication or simply providing companionship, my priority is to move at the pet’s pace to build a foundation of trust. When staying in your home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean environment and follow all safety protocols—such as double-checking locks and ensuring fences are secure—to give you total peace of mind while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and receiving high-quality care.
About: I have been around pets since I was born and I currently have a Rottweiler, 2 cats, and a fancy leopard gecko. They are my children! I care for animals daily. I clean up after dogs, feed them, water them, play and cuddle with them, and I even help take care of my mothers cat. I will care for pets in their own homes by feeding, watering, walking, and playing with them. I will also clean up after small dogs that are in the process of being potty trained.
About: I am a Veterinary Technician who is currently waiting to take his national certification exam to work in the state of Tennessee. I have been working in doggy daycares and vet clinics for the last eight (8) years and have loved every minute of it. I recently moved to Tennessee from the Pacific Northwest and would like to continue to care for pets even though I’m not in a clinic yet. Even when I return to clinics I still plan to keep doing walks and home visits if for no better reason than to get out of my house everyday. I am currently unemployed and looking to start making money again and the best way to do so is on my own terms. I am free every day except for Sundays to do walks, house visits, or even house sit if needed. In my clients homes I make sure to follow all instructions given for pet care. I have a great deal of experience working with pets that need medications and special care after working in an Emergency Clinic, and I do my best to clean up and leave the home in the same state I received it.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alloway
“I would recommend Christina F. for all my pet care. She was very gentle and took the stress off both me and my mini doxies as they have separation anxiety. Plus, this was the first time leaving them with anyone. She made them feel right at home and comfortable and sent photos of them. Definitely, would leave them with her again.”
“Chloe watched my pup for 4 days, everyday i got updates, pictures/videos. She even offered to clip her nails and dressed her up in a cute sweater. I felt comfortable leaving her in the environment and didn’t feel like she was not taken care of or ignored. I will definitely use her again next time we go on a trip. If you’re looking for someone to spend time with your pup and make them feel at home Chloe is your girl!!!”
“Savannah was amazing, seriously. She made time for my pup on Mother’s Day so we could have a get away for a couple hours! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies, I would definitely book with her. Probably the plus 1 of the stay was the fenced in yard, so they are able to just run and potty freely without having to be leaded.”
About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am available for walking, dog park visits, bathing them is optional, and I am open to any breed. I have always been great with pets, we have 3 of our own who are amazing with everyone and other animals. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely
About: I have over 20 years of pet care experience by providing care in my own home, and in clients homes for medium and large dogs as well as cats. I also have 4 years of fostering experience with rescue dogs, including pregnant moms and birthing puppies. With all this experience I have provided medications, given laser therapies (with clients equipment), bottle and syringe fed young pups. I have walked dogs on leash and on slip leads. My mission is to make cats and dogs in my care feel safe, comfortable and loved while their pawrents are gone. We are a couple based sitting service, which allows for your pet to have several outdoor potty and play sessions, and plenty of snuggle time indoors as well. I am open to providing care for 4 dogs in my home in addition to my pack, and am able to take multiple cats (they have their own room in my home so that they are not stressed by the dogs and vice versa). In my home dogs would have access to outside time as needed for the majority of the day. I will follow all expectations for your dog in your home. In our home dogs are allowed on the furniture as we allow our own on the furniture. I believe in positive reinforcement by providing love, treats and redirection. I will not and am not comfortable using shock collars, prong collars or choke collars.
“My dog ran back and gave Kallie two good-byes before coming to me to go home, which was a great sign to me that he really loved her and trusted her. She is very good with my golden retriever and has a nice home and fenced yard for him. I am so happy I found her.”

About: I’ve always taken care of animals, growing up with cats and dogs in our house was such a blessing and now I want to share my love for all pets with others! I am lucky enough to work full time from home which leaves me with plenty of extra time to take care of your four legged baby. Walks, park play time, and even light training would be part of the normal routine when they stay will me!

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.
About: I'm offering small dog, under 15 lbs and cat sitting in my home where lots of love and care are the priority. Chloe my 13 year old Shih Tzu Maltese has lived with kitties her entire life.

If you're ok with your doggie running around the house enjoying their day that's what you'll find here. Doggies & kitties can enjoy outdoor views from the large picture window that provides great entertainment. Back yard has a fenced in area for outdoor potty breaks and outdoor playtime. For cat boarding I have six spacious cat condos with lofts that can comfortably accommodate two kitties. Each condo is facing a large picture window that provides a peaceful environment for a kitty's home away from home loving stay. Lots of kitty attention and love included.

“Gloria was wonderful! We needed boarding for our 8 year old pup, Barclay, with only a few days notice. Gloria took the time to get to know Barc and treated him like a member of her family. She provided daily pictures and updates; knowing he was safe and truly cared for made it so much easier to focus on travel.”
“Jenn and Derek took real good care of Penny while I was visiting TN . Penny had a blast. She was safe and well cared. I received updates on her frequently including pictures of her and the activities she did. She looked like she was home. Great job. Well done. I would recommend your services. Thank you Jenn and Derek. Great team work.”
“SaVannah was absolutely amazing with our puppies! She kept them for a long weekend and loved on them like they were her own! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely book her again.”
“Christina was amazing with my 3 pups! She messaged me everyday and sent photos to let me know they were doing good. I was very confident being our of the country knowing my babies were in good hands. Will definitely be booking again through her!!”
“Sharon sent us numerous photos of my boys enjoying and exploring her home for a 2 night stay. We were at ease knowing they were in good hands. Thank you so much for caring for Charlie & Jake.”
“Hannah is a wonderful pet sitter. She and her sweet family took good care of my Dolly doggy. She came home tired, but happy. She will be my first choice for Dolly next time I need her looked after and loved.”
“Lyndsey was amazing with Teddy! We had a death in the family while out of town and she was easy and accommodating to work with. She even sent home some homemade dog treats.”
About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“Aric did a great job with our 3 yr old Rottweiler. Our dog has never stayed with anyone before and our first experience with a full blown kennel over a year ago was a call to come get your dog after he was there for less than 1 hour. He ended up coming on our trip with us. This time we managed to be away for roughly 5 days and the dog was happy at Arics, happy dog, = happy owners! Will definitely use again!”
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my family. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play under supervision. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work during the week, but I make time before & after work for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, & one-on-one attention. On evenings & weekends, I have more flexibility to spend additional time with pets! When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed & at home. My home has a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor play & bathroom breaks, along with plenty of time for attention, play, and affection. My goal is for your pet to always feel safe & comfortable while you are away!
“Went way past my expectations as a new customer! She's amazing sent photos of my baby girl playing etc! True pleasure to be working with! Rover scored a great sitter!!! Hands down!”
“Shelly is beyond amazing! This was our first time to Leave our furry baby with anyone besides family and we were more than impressed. Not only is Shellys home clean and dog friendly but her and her two dogs are lovely as can be. I think our dog Finkle misses them already! We can’t recommend Shelly enough!”
“Tammy was AMAZING! After we got our babies home, they seemed mad that they had to leave. She spent so much time spoiling them it made me feel like I need to step up my mom game. She also stayed in constant contact with lots of pictures and asked lots of questions about what our babies could or couldn’t do/eat/etc. to help keep their routines. 10/10 great service! We will continue to book her for any boarding needs.”
