About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs.

I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodl), a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!
About: I have owned pets my whole life. I have owned cats and small dogs and even big dogs including Belgian Malinois in my lifetime. I will give your dogs and cats the best love and care while watching them. I am a stay at home dog mom so I have plenty of time to care for other peoples fur babies and give them the best care and love. If your pet stays in my home they will get lots of walks and lots of play time. I have a nice neighborhood for walking.
“Maddie took very good care of our dog Cooper. She was very attentive and made sure Cooper’s needs were met. She also sent us photos of Cooper playing with other dogs. We will use her again next time we need to board him.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place to board our dog! DeRee and her husband took great care of Apollo and sent us updates daily. On top of all that they took him in on very short notice, so we’re extremely grateful for that as well. Will use again!”

“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”

“Stephanie is THE best sitter I have ever had, period. The number of ways she went above and beyond when watching our three kitties when out of the country for 18 days was incredible. She sent tons of pictures and gave updates frequently on how the cats were doing and was willing to deal with one of our cats who needed oral pills in the morning (and can be quite difficult!) I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Shannon visited my boy cat Smokie at my house a few times. I couldnt be more thankful! (not to mention one day was Valentines) xoxo. I was unexpectedly delayed on my return home and Shannon is an angel to have stopped by to make sure he was safe <3 Thank you, R.”
“Very pleased that Jay was able to take care of my cat, MIka, while I was away. Such a good feeling to travel, knowing that all is well on the home front! Communication was top notch and the care he provided was excellent.”
“I can't say enough good stuff about Cheyenne! You should know that I have never trusted many people with my animals, but Cheyenne earned my trust and kept it. Anyone who knows me knows what a huge compliment that is. After another sitter flaked out on us, she came to the rescue at the very last minute. She is always on time, communicates well, kind, caring, and went way beyond to make sure not just the animals were happy... but us too. We put extra on her and she willingly went even further. I hope she is still doing this when we go on our next trip! Again, she is great. Great customer service, very professional, and great with animals. :) Cheyenne, I'm sorry I didn't share the YouTube videos for the parrots sooner. If I had known it would make yall instant friends, I would have. Lol”

About: Growing up we always had animals. When I was old enough, I cared for them 24/7. Once I got in high school, I joined FFA and my love for animals grew more than I could ever imagine. Now I wanna care for everyone’s pets like they’re my own and make sure they are well taken care of when in my care. I currently work full time as a pharmacy technician but I work 7 on 7 off so I have plenty of free time to help you with your babies. I am open to doing whatever makes you feel most comfortable. I have 2 dogs of my own but they are great with other animals.
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are very spoiled. I would love to meet your dog(s) and take some stress off of your day. Thank u!

I have plenty of down time all throughout the week. I will accommodate any needs that you have for your pet(s) in your home. I would love to take them out for walks or take them out to play and burn off some steam like I do for my own dogs.
“Showed up and did everything, very respectful of my space and my pets. It’s always a stress wondering if someone will be reliable especially with your pets while you’re on vacation. I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of pet sitting.”
About: Hey there! Im on par with crazy dog lady at this point❤️ I'm dedicated to taking care of your pet(s) and making sure that they have everything they need and are safe. I have four of my own and I would adopt more if my husband would win the lottery and buy us a dog farm lol. I do not mix my dogs with your pets to ensure safety of all puppers! I will care for your pet(s) just like I would any of mine. I don't have children, I have fur babies :-) My house has a large fenced backyard with trees and is just like being in the woods. I will follow the instructions you leave for me, feed them at the times that you request, and dispense any medication as instructed. I am great with communication and will absolutely send you pictures and updates throughout the day because Id want them as well! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, so I will be able to check on the babies all day and play as needed. If I am coming to your home overnight, I will need access to wifi for work, that is mandatory. I would love to take care of and play with your furbabies; they’re family too. I have a fenced in backyard, but I can also leash walk your pets as needed. We also have a great nature trail within 5 minutes of my home for higher energy dogs.

We love getting to meet all kinds of different dogs, and having them interact with my kids. I’m home pretty much all the time so I never have to crate unless they sleep in one at night. I have clients that have been returning since 2019. I have 2 little girls, and all the dogs I’ve watched have been great with them! During all of the stays for the dogs I watch I provide homemade treats, and toys to play with.

I’m able to administer any medications you may need for your fur baby! I’m currently home 24/7 unless I have doctor appts, or have to run a few errands.

I’ve helped my friends and family with their fur babies for years and I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I work from home so my schedule is quite flexible. I'm happy to help in any way you need, whether it's letting them out to potty, providing walks, or play time. I always want to make sure the house rules of the client are followed.

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’ve owned dogs and watched dogs for a long time. I’ve had experience with teacups to Danes. I bred Jack Russels for 3years and worked as a vet assistant for 2. I love all animals so, yes- I will watch your cats, birds, fish, and reptiles too. I currently work night shift- Sunday through Thursday. I’m off weekends and for all major holidays so feel free to save my link for those family vacations! My yard is fenced and I live right next to the greenway and dog park so, there are plenty of outdoor opportunities for excercise and play with me. I’m also very comfortable with cuddles in bed or on the couch on rainy days. 🥰
About: My name is Tina and I am a retired veterinary technician with 8 years experience in veterinary medicine and 20 years in animal care. I am looking to pet sit full time. I used to pet sit part time before I moved to Tennessee. I pet sat for 7-8 clients at a time. I take care of animals ranging from dogs, cats, pocket pets, reptiles, birds, farm animals ect. I do not discriminate against dog breeds or pet ages. They are all amazing to me and I have a huge passion for animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am 100% comfortable giving medications (pills, liquids, insulin injections, rx diets ect) to your pet if needed. My services would include stopping by to feed, water, give attention to your pet, clean up messes, give meds, let outside to go potty, and make sure everyone is happy and healthy. I will also walk your dog if needed to be leashed walked vs let into the fenced yard to play and potty. I have experience pet sitting for clients with MULTIPLE pets also. I can't wait to meet you and your furbabies! I am currently trying to make pet sitting my full time job, so I am pretty open when it comes to days and times to take care of your pet/pets. I can not stay overnight due to having pets at home myself to take care of. I go by all instructions left by pet owner. I know some pets have to stay seperate whether it be when eating or at all times, so they will not be together unless client is okay with it. All pets will be on a leash unless yard is fenced in for them to safely go outside to play. While in the fenced yard I will be there the entire time to supervise play time and to give the attention they need.

“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.”

“THANK YOU Darlene. this was my first time scheduling a sitting time for my dog on Rover and away from home. Darlene was everything I wished for anyone watching my sweet Chico even for a few hours. she is a natural! she allowed us to bring Chico for a first quick meeting before the sitting date, Chico took up with her immediately and was very comfortable in her home. Her home is in a really nice and beautiful location ideal for anybody’s pet. She send me pictures and comments about Chico and how he was doing, I know he was not only taken good care of but was spoiled same as I do. Definitely will use her again and recommend her!”

About: I have experience with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of playtime, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra care and comfort. I’m very attentive to routines and will stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to help reduce stress. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love being outside and spending time with animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing outside, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise throughout the day.

I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed by giving them lots of love, supervision, and a calm environment. I enjoy being outside, so walks and outdoor play are something I really enjoy doing with dogs.

About: If I were looking for a dog sitter I am exactly the kind of sitter I would want. And I am picky! I will dote on your babies. My husband said he's never known anyone who sincerely cares for, and worries about, animals more than me. And he has seen a lot of pet owners because he's a veterinarian. I worry about all of God's creatures, what they're thinking and feeling, are they cold, thirsty, hungry, loved. I am so in love with animals that I became vegetarian 29 years ago. I'm not crazy, I just love animals. I am a college graduate and hold a professional job. Your animals will love me. I can provide frequent high energy exercise as tolerated by each pet. I have plenty of energy to ensure your pet gets adequate exercise and happiness. I care for each animal with individualized love, safety and attention. No animal will feel left out. I've never met a dog I didn't love.
About: 10+ years of cat/dog/exotic/wildife care. Shelter/Veterinary Experience. Experience with all ages/temperaments. UTK graduate/Vet Tech Student. Seeking part time work during clinical semesters. Cleveland/Chattanooga/Athens and Surrounding areas 🙂 I am a full time Veterinary Technician student. I have open/flexible availability each week. Available early mornings, mid-day, and evenings. Open to seasonal/vacation and weekly positions. I will follow all care and safety requests. I will request written instructions for care. I will not offer pet care in my home. (Not allowed 😐)
About: Growing up we always had animals. When I was old enough, I cared for them 24/7. Once I got in high school, I joined FFA and my love for animals grew more than I could ever imagine. Now I wanna care for everyone’s pets like they’re my own and make sure they are well taken care of when in my care. I currently work full time as a pharmacy technician but I work 7 on 7 off so I have plenty of free time to help you with your babies. I am open to doing whatever makes you feel most comfortable. I have 2 dogs of my own but they are great with other animals.
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own who are very spoiled. I would love to meet your dog(s) and take some stress off of your day. Thank u! I am a part time college student going to class late on Tuesday and Thursday . I work from 9-5 on Wednesday and Friday and 9-3 on Saturday at a furniture store in Madisonville. I have plenty of down time all throughout the week. I will accommodate any needs that you have for your pet(s) in your home. I would love to take them out for walks or take them out to play and burn off some steam like I do for my own dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and horses since I was a little kid. I currently have a rescue pup, Rosco, who is my whole world. I’ve helped my friends and family with their fur babies for years and I’m happy to care for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I work from home so my schedule is quite flexible. I'm happy to help in any way you need, whether it's letting them out to potty, providing walks, or play time. I always want to make sure the house rules of the client are followed. Whether that’s leaving music or the tv on for your fur babies or making sure they’re safely crated before leaving the house.
About: I am an accredited dog trainer with Petsmart. I volunteer, foster, donate, and I've adopted from the area animal shelter. I have 3 German Shepherd Dogs, a blue heeler mix, and I foster bully breeds. I do Dog Training at Petsmart on Tuesday and Thursday evenings then all day on Saturday and Sunday. We will have to work around that schedule. I also worked home health care for many years. I was a cna for 16 years prior to switching to dog training. I had a change of heart and decided to change to the career I wanted to do the most which was work with dogs. I am a dog trainer and we can do in home training or meet at the park for training. No flexi leads we can use a 20 foot training leash if having room to run is an issue for you.
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’ve cared for my own dogs and family pets since I was 10 years old, giving me over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can handle daily walks, feedings, playtime, and bathing, and I treat every pet like a beloved member of the family. work full-time but usually finish by 3pm, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. I’m fully available all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and can also provide weekend boarding. I have a safe home environment and a sweet toy poodle who enjoys walks and companionship. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and always treat them like part of the family.

About: I've been a veterinary nurse for over 10 years. I'm experienced in all facets of animal care and specialize in pets with medical needs and seniors! I work per diem in veterinary medicine. My schedule has a lot of flexibility! I like to vary my weeks between the two. Spending time with others pets and helping animals in clinic keeps me happy and makes me proud!

About: My name is Tina and I am a retired veterinary technician with 8 years experience in veterinary medicine and 20 years in animal care. I am looking to pet sit full time. I used to pet sit part time before I moved to Tennessee. I pet sat for 7-8 clients at a time. I take care of animals ranging from dogs, cats, pocket pets, reptiles, birds, farm animals ect. I do not discriminate against dog breeds or pet ages. They are all amazing to me and I have a huge passion for animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am 100% comfortable giving medications (pills, liquids, insulin injections, rx diets ect) to your pet if needed. My services would include stopping by to feed, water, give attention to your pet, clean up messes, give meds, let outside to go potty, and make sure everyone is happy and healthy. I will also walk your dog if needed to be leashed walked vs let into the fenced yard to play and potty. I have experience pet sitting for clients with MULTIPLE pets also. I can't wait to meet you and your furbabies! I am currently trying to make pet sitting my full time job, so I am pretty open when it comes to days and times to take care of your pet/pets. I can not stay overnight due to having pets at home myself to take care of. I go by all instructions left by pet owner. I know some pets have to stay seperate whether it be when eating or at all times, so they will not be together unless client is okay with it. All pets will be on a leash unless yard is fenced in for them to safely go outside to play. While in the fenced yard I will be there the entire time to supervise play time and to give the attention they need.

So if you’re worried about your pup getting out or not being able to have access to outside you can rest assured your pup will be alright.

She sent us pictures and I'm so thankful that I know they got lots of attention. We already another trip booked using them and a 3rd will be booked soon. Thanks for loving on my babies ❤️ Amy P.”

About: I have been dog sitting for almost one year now! I love taking care of your animals and helping anyone needed! I am apart of dog care charities! I am also apart of volunteering with shelters to care and love them as they wait for a new home. i’m currently moving to a new home! So I am able to care for your puppies all day needs! If there is any medication involved on schedule times, or any extra needs for your pup, it can be done! I have a fenced in back yard for us to play in! I have two friendly dogs in the house that also love meeting new puppies!
“I cannot say enough good things about Darlene and her family. I left my 3 month old puppy Annie with them and I got pictures every day of her having the best time of her life! Their home is absolutely perfect for dogs and you can tell from talking to her that she absolutely loves them! Annie had playmates and wonderful care. It's like she went to puppy camp and I bet she cannot wait to go back!”
“Cynthia is a 10/10 Trusted Sitter. If I could give her over 5 stars on Rover, I most certainly would without hesitation. The ‘start to end’ booking process was seamless and she was excellent to communicate with. She was beyond accommodating and all I needed to really know upon pick up was how my Tegan behaved. She did not want to leave Cynthia’s side which was a GREAT sign. Thank you Cynthia and Miles for opening your new, clean home to Tegan and spending time with her. Having to travel often for work doesn’t make it easy leaving my dog daughter behind but knowing she’s in good hands with you and close by, makes a world of a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this service as an option here in Polk County, TN!!! Looking forward to our next Rover boarding with you in a couple of weeks!”
“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”
