“Best sitter ever!! She's so accommodating! Her home has a great open floor plan and is off the road. She has kennels for those who need/like them but for my boy, the whole family treated him just like we do! He is 4 and has never been away from us, so this was scary, but he acted completely happy and that gave us peace to enjoy our vacation!! I could see his joy in the pictures she sent us. Thank you Echo!! We can't wait to use you again!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.
“Jaime was amazing!! Pictures all the time!!! The dogs had so much playtime!! They weren’t just stuffed in a kennel till we got back. 10/10 would recommend amazing experience!”
“My 2 Shih Tzus were very well taken care of. This was the first time I’ve ever left them overnight away from home. Crystal communicated with me the entire time I was on my trip. Crystal sent pictures. The boys both slept like babies after they came back home. They must have had a blast. One of my babies is the BIGGEST Mama’s boy so he’s so timid around new people and doesn’t warm up to people quickly. He was cuddling with Crystal on the couch the first night. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES! The other one was trotting around the living room like he lives there when I arrived to take them home. She treated both of my babies like they were her own. I will book Crystal again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Tish was amazing with Bruno. Definitely felt like he was on vacation as we were:) he loved playing with their dogs in their backyard! Tish was super kind taking him for walks and hikes. She clearly loves dogs and all animals and we felt super confident leaving him with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Loved using Rover and glad I booked with Christina! I was confident when I dropped Odin off that he was in good hands and would be well taken care of. Christina is very friendly and professional, and Odin had a great time.”
“Amazing sitter!! Communication was easy and Penelope was so at ease under her care! I had a great experience and I know Penelope did too! It’s so nice to know that she’s not anxious while I’m away!”
“The whole family took very good care of Abby. I could tell by the daily updates that she was being treated just like she was part of the family. Abby perked up when I showed her a picture and said one of the children names, looking around for her new found friend only settling back down when I started to pet Abby. Can’t thank them enough for the attention given. Awesome service!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! We were regularly sent pictures and updates! He went above and beyond in communication, care, and every other aspect! We will definitely be booking again! So thankful for how Tank was loved and cared for!”
“Brandi is awesome! She took great care of my pup and sent really nice updates and photos each day. My pup seemed to fit in really well with her and her family and I felt confident that his needs were taken care of. Will definitely book again. Thanks Brandi!”
“Emily took such good care of our fur baby. We could see how happy he was in the daily photos she sent us. Great communication before and during our trip. When we had a last minute change in travel plans, Emily was very gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be asking her to care for Bear again.”
“Brandy was so sweet to my pup and sent daily updates! She was very responsive as well. He came back to me in awesome spirits and seemed to have a great time! I would definitely re-book with her!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 19 years. I've cared for three senior dogs of my own in the past, two who had chronic conditions. I have experience administering medication and providing special care. In addition, over the years, I've gained experience caring for the dogs of other owners. I'm retired and home full time. Your pet(s) will have all-day care. I'm fully devoted to caring for your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be pampered and spoiled as if he or she was one of my own. Your pet(s) will receive multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In addition, pet(s) will get daily play time in large fenced backyard and if requested, daily walks. I have a half an acre fenced backyard, so plenty of space for your pet(s) to run around and play. Clean dog beds, and if preferred for sleeping, crates with beds for all sizes. For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.
“Brittany was a wonderful sitter for our big playful boy while we were gone for a week. She updated and sent photos almost every day, she made him very comfortable and seemed to truly enjoy having him. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her. Thank you Brittany 🐾”
“Major, our Shih Tzu, needs a little extra TLC. So we are very happy that Rachel was available to take care of him for our vacation. She made sure he got all the attention an older dog needs. She sent daily pictures and updates and gave Major his special diet and lots of love.”
“We are so thankful we found Marluce. She is definitely going to be out go to person! She took very good care of our fur baby, sent texts and pictures daily. I could tell when I picked him up that he had made himself at home and very much had fun during his stay there. Marluce is a very patient kind hearted person who listens well and understands that pets a lot of times are more than just pets, for a lot of us they are our babies! Thank you Marluce! Hugs for little Cassy ❤️”
“Donner and Zelda had a fantastic visit. Appreciate all the great updates and photos. Christa was very responsive and great to work with! We look forward to their next stay!”
“I can't recommend Megan enough! She watched our pup while we were out of state. She sent us so many updates with pictures. We were never left wondering how our dog was doing or what she was up to. Our pup loved sniffing around the fenced in back yard and sunbathing outside. We will definitely use Megan again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Keira, a 21 year old lifelong dog lover from Chattanooga (Soddy-Daisy/Lakesite area) who’s completely obsessed with giving dogs the best care possible! I only take one house-sitting booking at a time so I can give your home and your pets my complete love and attention. Your fur babies will be my whole world while you’re away — I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and very loved every single day! I had the privilege of caring for my soul dog Charley (a mini schnauzer) for almost 10 years. During that time I learned so much about loving and caring for dogs — including giving daily subcutaneous fluids when he needed them. Because of him, I’m especially gentle and patient with senior dogs, but I also adore puppies and their endless energy! I’m very loving, attentive, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will get lots of cuddles, playtime, and genuine affection while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your dog (or cat! I’m very good with cats although I do have fewer years of experience with them!) Feel free to message me with any questions 💕 I’m currently between jobs so all of my focus is on animal care! I have a super open schedule so your furry friend will get so much attention and love!! I can’t offer care from my home, I live with too many people and would hate to stress out your pet, but I can come and stay in your home, whether it be overnight or drop-ins. I’m very good about feeding on time, watching the water bowl, giving frequent potty breaks, and taking a few walks throughout the day. I will also adhere to any special requests you may have for your pup!

I've spent years caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and support. My background includes working in a veterinary clinic, training in pet CPR, and caring for my own beloved animals through every stage of life.

When I care for your animals, I treat them as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members. I look forward to becoming one of your pet's favorite people! Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to provide care throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being so that any concerns can be addressed promptly.

I am experienced with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and those requiring extra patience or specialized care.

About: I’ve had my No Worries Pet Care Services for over 10 years. I’ve owned cats for all my life and am very thorough with their care. Litter box cleaning is done at least once per day.

“Steven was able to drop in last minute for me and provided updates and photos and made it seem like it wasn’t an inconvenience at all and I was so appreciative at how Professional and enthusiastic he is for his clients! Monte and I love him!!!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life learning what it means to have a pet and how to treat all animals with compassion and care! In my house, pets are family and should be treated as such. My love of animals has led me to adopt a dog from the shelter, foster dogs, and open my home to any pets of family, roommates, and visiting friends. Now, after 20 years of numerous experiences with pets of various nature, I feel comfortable handling even the most energetic, difficult, and unique pets. Most of my experience is with handling dogs but I also have experience handling cats, rodents, fish, and amphibians. As for my experience with dogs, I have studied dog behavior for approximately 4 years and have handled nursing dogs, puppies, skittish dogs, aggressive dogs, and older dogs, large and small. My older dog is an adult chow mix who I have owned for over 5 years now and my younger pup I adopted into my pack recently once I started dating his dad. The younger pup is a gentle 3 year old black lab/pit mix. Both of my dogs love to have a house filled with other animals offering your companion play time and cuddles! Currently, I am only offering services in other’s homes, but hope to offer boarding in my home again soon. Please contact me with any pet walking, check in visits, and boarding inquires. I am currently on break until the beginning of next year as I am a graduate student getting my doctorate in physical therapy. Therefore, I am able to care for your dog most of the day outside of the time I’ll be spending with my pups at home and running errands. If you’d like another dog for your pup to play with I am happy to bring my pup along! I try to cater my care to the pup and owner’s needs. If you’re looking for your pup to get plenty of outdoor time, cuddle time, or play time, I’m happy to offer all these services and any other services which may be necessary for your companion. Ultimately, I want your furry friend to feel safe and comfortable until you are able to come home to care for them.
“Laura’s consistent communication and photo updates made me feel certain that my cats were both safe and content. Thanks to her attentive care, I feel confident in trusting her with my pets.”
About: I am a lover of cats of all kinds and have been taking care of my kitties (Pinecone & Juniper) and the kitties of family and friends for over 5 years now.

“Stephanie is incredible! She is great with dogs and is awesome at keeping up with pictures and updates. I sent my 9 week old puppy over to her and she’s taken great care of my Nova. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a puppy sitter.”
“Charish was amazing with our two pups, Lulu and Lucky! She was super friendly, flexible with our schedule, and took great care of them while we explored Chattanooga. They came back happy and well-loved. She offers a very large fenced in yard with room to roam.

About: I've owned a dog since I was six years old. I've often cared for neighbors, friends, and families dogs as well as cared for my own. I have some training experience and will work with your dog if you would like me to. I don't work outside of the home so I am able to be with the dogs all day if needed. We have our two dogs and they are seldom left alone. On the occasion that they might be, we make sure the environment is safe and they have water etc. I have a unfenced yard in a rural setting, plenty of room to run and play, dogs are only outside when attended and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog or our dogs if needed. Dogs sleep inside in the mud/wash room. I’m a stay home wannabe mini-farmer. Outside most days working in the yard. Getting a barn set up for mini-donkeys. The acreage is a work in progress. I don’t have a fenced yard at the moment, coming soon, but I will not let the dogs be outside unattended. Their safety and comfort is my number one priority.
About: I’d love the opportunity to give your fur baby attention and cuddles while you’re away. My two kiddos love animals and always offer a helping hand in feeding, walking, and brushing the dogs. I work a full time (4d/wk) schedule, but my office is 10 minutes from home. You can count on us to watch, play, love on and be attentive to the needs of your doggo. Checking in on your fur baby and keeping them comfortable and safe are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and two doggos to keep your baby company. The yard is maintained 2x weekly, and fresh water is kept in multiple locations at all times. Reach out and let me know any questions you may have, to see if I’d be a good fit to sit! I am home every week all day Friday to Sunday. I prefer very well behaved, house trained guests. Dogs that need a place to stay and just lounge when I’m at work are ideal. The back yard is completely fenced. I have several cameras inside and outside to help keep an eye on the dogs too. Dogs get to play in and out most of the day and there is always fresh water daily to drink. My daughter and I like to take the dogs on walks around our neighborhood also. I have a three day weekend away from work every week. I spend my weekends hanging out with the dogs, walking in the neighborhood and letting them lounge inside. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I have cameras that monitor both the back door and outdoor area. Pets are treated as part of the family and have complete free range in every room. A big hit is the dog crate full of toys to play with.

About: I love animal behavior and training. I personally trained our service dog, Crew. He goes just about everywhere with us- trails, stores, restaurants, hotels, airplanes. In my neighborhood growing up, people would call me whenever they went away and wanted animal care. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and rabbits. I had my Siberian husky for 16 great years. I loved training her. I considered stuffing pillows with the volume of fur I brushed out of her coat! I can help with puppy and obedience training. I can help with advanced canine skills, including scent work, service work, and public access. I can administer medication. I can bathe and brush. I can play and have a great time with your pet! Something else? Just ask me! My wife and I keep a remote work situation which enables flexibility. Let me know what your specific needs are and I’ll be happy to coordinate with you. Consistency is key for animals. I aim to maintain the status quo that your pets are used to in their home. I welcome owner instructions and preferences. If crating a dog, I prefer to do so after exercise and potty.
About: Hi!! I am 18, I will make sure you are comfortable with me being your home and trusting me with your animal!! I have been taking care of animals since I was able to understand the concept. I have a chocolate lab names Rusty and two guinea pigs named Costello and Kota. I adore animals! I work a part time job and I am currently in college. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have classes from 9:30 am to 1:45 pm. I will be available from 6:00am - 8:00am and 2:30pm - 10:00pm on those days! Any other day of the week I am completely available. (Apart from working around my part- time schedule) I can care for animals in all sorts of ways, if you just need someone to watch your pet for a couple hours, feed, water and play with them. If you need them taken to training classes, the park, etc. Anything! :)
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was born and I absolutely love all dogs great and small. I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors and even a cat (shocking I know)! I currently work from home and I am able to give great attention to your pet. If you need any urgent care, just let me know. I like to let pets warm up to me, I don’t like to try and pet them or hold them - I think it’s better to let them learn to like you. Once they’ve accepted me, I’m their best friend!
About: Hi! I’m Keira, a 21 year old lifelong dog lover from Chattanooga (Soddy-Daisy/Lakesite area) who’s completely obsessed with giving dogs the best care possible! I only take one house-sitting booking at a time so I can give your home and your pets my complete love and attention. Your fur babies will be my whole world while you’re away — I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and very loved every single day! I had the privilege of caring for my soul dog Charley (a mini schnauzer) for almost 10 years. During that time I learned so much about loving and caring for dogs — including giving daily subcutaneous fluids when he needed them. Because of him, I’m especially gentle and patient with senior dogs, but I also adore puppies and their endless energy! I’m very loving, attentive, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your fur baby will get lots of cuddles, playtime, and genuine affection while you’re away. I’d be honored to care for your dog (or cat! I’m very good with cats although I do have fewer years of experience with them!) Feel free to message me with any questions 💕 I’m currently between jobs so all of my focus is on animal care! I have a super open schedule so your furry friend will get so much attention and love!! I can’t offer care from my home, I live with too many people and would hate to stress out your pet, but I can come and stay in your home, whether it be overnight or drop-ins. I’m very good about feeding on time, watching the water bowl, giving frequent potty breaks, and taking a few walks throughout the day. I will also adhere to any special requests you may have for your pup!
About: We have 8 acres with a large fenced in yard providing lots of room to run. We treat them like a member of the family. Our Mini-Aussie Dingo loves the company too!! We are 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga and lots of mountain climbing, water adventures, and trails around us! I am an online student full time so I am available all the time to pet sit in my home. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. We have balls, frisbees, and other toys we use to play with them. Details about your pet, and schedule are very helpful when inquiring about services! I’m a full time student online, so your furry family member will have my full attention. I take breaks to play with them outside throughout the day. Huge fenced in yard, very safe and secured area for lots of play time. Dogs are fed separately, and are given their own space for sleeping, lounging inside.

I've spent years caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and support. My background includes working in a veterinary clinic, training in pet CPR, and caring for my own beloved animals through every stage of life. As a homesteader and animal lover, I'm also comfortable caring for chickens, small farm animals, cats, dogs, and other household pets.

What you can expect from me: ✔ Dependable and trustworthy care ✔ Pet CPR trained ✔ Experience with senior pets and special needs pets ✔ Comfortable administering many routine medications ✔ Experience with chickens and small homestead animals ✔ Regular photo and video updates ✔ Plenty of love, attention, and playtime I understand that pets are family. When I care for your animals, I treat them as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members. I look forward to becoming one of your pet's favorite people! Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to provide care throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being so that any concerns can be addressed promptly. As someone with veterinary clinic experience and pet CPR training, I understand the importance of safety and preparedness. I am experienced with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and those requiring extra patience or specialized care. I also have experience caring for cats, dogs, chickens, and small homestead animals. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I will provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands.
About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.
About: I’ve taken care of newborn puppies/kittens, all the way to 18 year old cats and cranky chihuahuas. I can give meds (subq shots or just pills!), I’m okay with picky eaters and love making fancy little meals. (I’ve had clients raw feed their dogs/cats or just need to add many supplements/powders, etc!). I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid but I have professional care for 3 years, 1.5 year in a boarding/vet facility, and 1.5 year at a shelter. I’m currently unemployed, I can make pet/house care as a 24/7 thing if needed. I do plan on getting a part time job soon but it shouldn’t bother my plans for animal care. As i don’t offer my own home for your pets, I will gladly come over to take your animals out in their own comfortable home. This personally makes me (and your pets!) a LOT more comfortable. This gives them more confidence and socializes them too! I can also offer nail trims and basic bathing as well (I can bring my own shampoo and brushes, or you can offer yours!)
About: I am animal lover and I have been taking care of many animals (dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, spiders, reptiles, opossums, raccoon and you named it. They mean the world to me just like you.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child. I cared for my own dog for seven years, which included intensive senior care. Several friends have asked me to watch their dogs for them, which I’m always happy to do! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your pet! I’m home most of the week, and love getting outside and taking walks, so I’d be happy to spend time indoors or outdoors playing with your pet! I have a large yard I can walk your pet around, as well as quick access to multiple walking trails at local parks. I have two large dog cages if necessary and a couple dog beds as well.

Right now my schedule is flexible and I can easily work with yours. Let me know how I can work with you to care for your pup! I can come to your home to let your pets out to potty as well as play with them inside or outside. With your permission I could take them out on walks thru your neighborhood, Greenway, or the Riverwalk to get their exercise.
About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently living in Ooltewah, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!
About: I’m not sure if I have raised six dogs or if they have raised me but either way, dogs have always been a part of life. I am very familiar with quirky traits and will gladly accommodate any specific needs that make your dog unique. I’m currently working part-time from home. This allows me the freedom to devote most of my time to playing with and caring for pups of all ages. I have a fenced yard on a lake surrounded by a walking trail and two friendly Golden Retrievers (male/female each 8 years old) to play with your pup(s).
About: Hi I have lived with pets my entire life and have worked for many years in Germany doing dog sitting. Pets are becoming more and more important parts of our lives and I'm happy to ensure that yours is as comfortable as possible. I am currently working piecemeal for an AI company, which leaves my schedule extremely flexible and I can work in any place that has WiFi. (I'm very used to cleaning dog hair out of my laptop) I have a basic sense for how pets should be treated (basically making their life as comforting and stress free as possible). This means being dominant in unusual situations and relaxed in normal ones. I love to watch animals explore and be happy. A dog sleeping after a good play session is the best experience
About: I am such an animal lover, and I like to think they love me too;) I have owned dogs my whole life and recently adopted a cat, Willow! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets:) I am a student at MTSU currently home for the summer, and I’m working part time at the moment. This means that I am available often! I am very attentive of my animals (currently one dog and one cat). I feed them on a consistent schedule and let the dog out every two-three hours. I also provide them with lots of attention, whether they would prefer to be in my skin (my dog) or relax in the same area without touch (my cat). I can be very adaptive to any animals’ needs!

“Best sitter ever!! She's so accommodating! Her home has a great open floor plan and is off the road. She has kennels for those who need/like them but for my boy, the whole family treated him just like we do! He is 4 and has never been away from us, so this was scary, but he acted completely happy and that gave us peace to enjoy our vacation!! I could see his joy in the pictures she sent us. Thank you Echo!! We can't wait to use you again!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 27 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. As a nurse and lifelong animal lover, I am attentive, dependable, and comfortable administering medications when needed. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I provide patient, loving care tailored to each pet. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full time stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule. I am free to care for your pet all day every day of the week. I currently have a 4 year old lab mix who is nervous around strangers, but he loves to play with other dogs. My daughter is currently 13 months old, so if your pet will be in my home, all I ask is that they are potty trained and can be good/gentle with kids, for my daughter’s safety. Our dog is an indoor/outdoor dog. He spends most of his time inside, but he likes to play outside in our fenced in yard during the day as long as the weather is good. We have a screened-in porch with a fan for him to rest in while he is outside, too. He is free to go in and out of it as he pleases. Our dog is free-fed, but we are also used to following feeding schedules from caring for our elderly dog who recently passed, as well as my family’s dogs. I provide a safe, supervised, and loving home environment with consistent care and attention. If desired, I can offer daily walks, whether your pets are boarding with me or receiving drop-in visits. I can also play fetch and provide medication administration, as I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Every dog deserves companionship and care. I can ensure they receive plenty of affection, attention, and individualized care from myself, my husband, and my daughter. She is very gentle with animals and absolutely loves interacting with them—it’s truly sweet to watch. I offer flexible care options to accommodate different routines and needs, whether your pet requires simple visits or more structured boarding care.
“Jaime was amazing!! Pictures all the time!!! The dogs had so much playtime!! They weren’t just stuffed in a kennel till we got back. 10/10 would recommend amazing experience!”
“Tish was amazing with Bruno. Definitely felt like he was on vacation as we were:) he loved playing with their dogs in their backyard! Tish was super kind taking him for walks and hikes. She clearly loves dogs and all animals and we felt super confident leaving him with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Loved using Rover and glad I booked with Christina! I was confident when I dropped Odin off that he was in good hands and would be well taken care of. Christina is very friendly and professional, and Odin had a great time.”
“The whole family took very good care of Abby. I could tell by the daily updates that she was being treated just like she was part of the family. Abby perked up when I showed her a picture and said one of the children names, looking around for her new found friend only settling back down when I started to pet Abby. Can’t thank them enough for the attention given. Awesome service!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! We were regularly sent pictures and updates! He went above and beyond in communication, care, and every other aspect! We will definitely be booking again! So thankful for how Tank was loved and cared for!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 19 years. I've cared for three senior dogs of my own in the past, two who had chronic conditions.

Your pet(s) will have all-day care. I'm fully devoted to caring for your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be pampered and spoiled as if he or she was one of my own. Your pet(s) will receive multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In addition, pet(s) will get daily play time in large fenced backyard and if requested, daily walks. I have a half an acre fenced backyard, so plenty of space for your pet(s) to run around and play. Clean dog beds, and if preferred for sleeping, crates with beds for all sizes. For the length of the stay, your pet(s) will be able to make himself or herself at home.
“Brittany was a wonderful sitter for our big playful boy while we were gone for a week. She updated and sent photos almost every day, she made him very comfortable and seemed to truly enjoy having him. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her. Thank you Brittany 🐾”

“Donner and Zelda had a fantastic visit. Appreciate all the great updates and photos. Christa was very responsive and great to work with! We look forward to their next stay!”
“I can't recommend Megan enough! She watched our pup while we were out of state. She sent us so many updates with pictures. We were never left wondering how our dog was doing or what she was up to. Our pup loved sniffing around the fenced in back yard and sunbathing outside. We will definitely use Megan again in the future!”
“Super sweet and accommodating! We had a cancellation and needed a last minute babysitter, and Laura helped us out no questions asked! She sent us updates everyday, and even had extra collars when we forgot ours. Our puppy seemed to get along great with her pets/family, so I’d definitely recommend Laura if your pup enjoys running around and socializing. I will definitely be rebooking!!!”
