Personalized care for your dog or cat - Farner

“Darlene was wonderful caring for our two dogs. They had never been away from us and we didn’t know how well they would respond. Darlene was exceptional when dealing with our one dog especially because he had separation anxiety the first night but Darlene was able to make him feel secure. The fact they both still ate okay was so reassuring. She sent us regular updates and pictures which is very important in helping owners feel secure about your pets safety and comfort. It made our short vacation so much less stressful knowing our pets were in good hands. Darlene’s setup with a nice green area fully fenced in was perfect and our dogs. We would definitely recommend Darlene with no hesitation.”

“Angela took great care of our pups during their stay! She sent videos and pics throughout the day and we felt very confident leaving them with her. They are big dogs but she handled them well. She also came out prior to their stay to meet them so that they would recognize her when we dropped them off. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I am Lauren Elizabeth. I spent 8+ years as a Veterinary Technician before moving into Animal Training & Behavior. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with the CCPDT and a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. I am also an AKC Evaluator. We have a beautiful 24 acre Farm in Englewood, Tennessee - and I spend most of my days every day here (who wouldn’t?) I am educated, experienced, compassionate and have a strong background in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Training & Behavior, allowing me to provide a cozy, enriching, and nurturing environment for your pets! I am a Dog Trainer and work from home. I am always here. I have a beautiful 24 acre Farm in Englewood and only have a select number of pets at any given time so every single one can get the time and individual attention they absolutely deserve! As a Trainer myself, I place a strong emphasis on doing everything with a “training” mentality - and bettering the lives of the animals in my care. We do a lot of walks, enriching games and mini training sessions, and even do meal times out of fun puzzle feeders and foraging toys! I want pets to look forward to coming here and owners to be able to really relax and enjoy their vacations! ☀️ Safety is a huge priority! This is why I only have a select number of pets in my care at any given time. I want to make sure every pet receives dedicated time and attention. I only walk on-leash or provide potty breaks in supervised, fenced areas (some exceptions for pets in training with me). I do lots of fun and exciting games and am always looking for ways to make the day more exciting!

“Chris did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. He gave routine updates with pictures and details that gave me all the comfort while we were away for the week. He was very flexible with our schedule and extremely detail oriented and meticulous about knowing their routine and any medication’s needed. It was also nice to find a Dog Sitter that does not take a million bookings during the same time. Our dogs are not very friendly with other dogs and Chris made sure not to double book with us. We will definitely be using him again for our dog sitting needs!”

They will always be safe, they will always be loved both individually and as a group ! I have trained my own my furry babies over the years ! They were all loving and accepting of all creatures and my babies were little ones ! The little ones get branded not so good but I see the best in them all and attend to their individual needs when they come into my home they become a member of my family and receive the love and attention they need !!! I am retired, therefore I am available 24/7 . I have the priveleage of being home to ensure that each sweetie that comes into my home is attended to both with love and any care they will require anywhere from young puppy to our senior babies who will require more attention in regards to medicine massages for their joints and simply love I have a fenced yard to accommodate small dogs I have one myself who is 7lbs. She is friendly to all new guests! And when I take her out to either potty or to just get free run exercise in my yard I stay with her. I do not leave her outside unattended for not even one second I interact and engage with her both indoors and outdoors with play and love !

“Frank was GREAT! He provided loving care to Willa. She was happy and spoiled when we returned, just like we wanted. Frank kept in touch with pictures and texts. He is reliable and left my house clean. I never had a moment's worry while I was away.”

We are originally from Georgia and FL, we formerly worked for the National Park Service and US Forest Service and have settled here in SE Tennessee. We have each experienced a life time of pet care before and after meeting. To us, animals are angels! We have 1 well behaved, friendly one year old male cat and 1 mixed brindle eleven year old dog. Clifton works from home as an instrument builder, and provides banjo lessons to his clients across the globe. I am a real estate agent and I have a home office and an office at HomeSmart Living Realty in Etowah, TN. We enjoy helping people and animals! And they are our priority above all other tasks. Clifton and/or I are home at all times. We are happy to help on short notice and have a flexible work-life schedule. We enjoy using amazon and walmart delivery because we can spend more time at home building the farm :D. Indoor space include, full access to the living room, dining room and kitchen. For outdoor space, we have 3+ acres, a screened in patio, 3 outbuildings, and 1 large kennel. We encourage good behavior with treats and patience. Our verbal communication is calm.

About: I’ve owned pets since I was born, even now I own 2 rescue cats, 2 golden retrievers, chickens, ducks, too many tanks and fish to count and often many rescue animals. I’m the girl that stops my car and moves snakes, alligator snapping turtles and all manner of creatures from the road. I’m not scared of any pets, or animals. I love to meet new furry friends and often am told I have “a way” with animals. My nick name as a child was Snow White. One day we hope to own a farm. I graduated college as an EMT, so I have wound care experience and also am trained in natural medicine as well. I’m the mom of 3 and have the privilege of being a stay at home mom of humans and animals. I’m free most of the time to help care for those who need help! I often dog sit at my home with my family as supportive help for playing with and caring for those in our care. My kids adore walking, playing and loving on any pets. I and (if desired) my kids can easily come to care for your loved ones at your home as well. We cater to preferences and love animals of all kinds! Furry guests in our home usually sleep on a kid and their bed all night unless other preferred requests like a kennel if you don’t want them spoiled.

“Laura was awesome! My dog can be tricky because he won’t potty on a leash but she managed it!”

“Cynthia and her husband was amazing! They were able to take care of pur dog and ferrets last minute (with only a 5 minute warning if that 😅) and made them feel right at home. Our dog Molly and our ferrets get super stressed when we leave them home so we took them on vacation with us but we needed someone to take care of them while we did activities and Cynthia did not hesitate taking them- even on a Saturday. Molly went right to them with no problem and no hesitation- she fit right in and didn't seem stressed or sad at all when we got her back. Cynthia communicated very well and even sent pictures of Molly and our ferrets and they looked like they were right at home and happy as can be!!! Way better than the daycares that have at least 10 other dogs and usually stick the dogs in a concrete kennel most of the day. You can tell Cynthia and her husband loves animals and cares for them and the animals can sense that. I counld not thank them enough for making their schedule work last minute and for caring for my babies as their own!!!! 🩷”

“Shannon was loving and caring towards our pups. She sent daily pictures and even gathered the babies a bath before we picked them up. So happy with her service and care.”

“Emily was great with my older pup. Was very attentive with her medicines, her food specifications and her initial weariness. My dog quickly took to her and they were soon playing fetch non stop. She kept me updated, was a great communicator and even sent me some pupper pics to ease my mind. Would absolutely leave my special girl with her again.”

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.
