“Kristy was wonderful to work with. She watched my dog for two nights and sent a lot of pictures. Very smooth process, great communication, and a great environment for my dog to hang out in. Highly recommend and have already booked another stay!”
“Savannah had a good time with Joe, she got to go on walks, have her treats and just chill out on his couch with him. It didn't take her very long to roll over to get her tummy rubbed, either. Joe kept me updated with photos of her and I texted him with little things I forgot to mention. We will definitely be having Joe take care of her again!”
“Sallie was amazing! Penny was very happy staying with her. She got lots of walking and play time and snuggles at night. Sallie was very responsive and flexible and sent lots of photos and videos. We definitely will plan on future stays with her!”

“Anna was great! In the photos she sent of my cat, Archie, you could almost hear the purring. He obviously got spa treatment with petting, brushing and play. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“I get so anxious having to leave my two cats and Rachel did such a wonderful job caring for them, sending updates and adorable photos, and going above and beyond to make sure they are happy and cared for. She even left them a new toy and killed some sneaky wasps that got inside! I couldn’t recommend her enough and would absolutely use her for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Thank you! I appreciated the detailed updates on my cat’s meal, water and potty breaks. I also saw in the photos Allison gave our cat affection/pets. Our cat liked the drop ins from the photos. Thank you, Allison!”

About: I’ve always had a cat in the home for as long as I can remember. I have extensive knowledge of cat care and behavior. I have always been a passionate, cat advocate and pursue volunteering at shelters.
“I cannot recommend Taylor enough as a cat sitter! She took exceptional care of my cats, going above and beyond to ensure they were happy and well taken care of. Not only did she keep their litter clean and made sure they were well-fed, but she also took the time to comb and play with them, which made a huge difference. My cats are typically very shy, but Taylor's gentle and patient approach won them over, and they warmed up to her surprisingly quickly. It's clear she genuinely loves animals, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my fur babies were in such capable hands. Will rebook in future!”
“Brooke was awesome and very professional! She took great care of my kitty and they got along wonderfully. She went above and beyond when winter conditions got bad and made sure he was safe!”
About: I’ve been around cats since I was a kid. My mom had 2 cats that I helped take care of for years, and now I have a cat that’s been my companion for the last 8 years. I admire their intelligence and curiosity and I have always been very attentive when it comes to learning the personality of each and every cat I take care of, young or old.
About: Hi! I’m a former vet tech who loves caring for dogs of all kinds. Since I work from home most of the week, I have lots of flexibility for long walks, quick potty breaks, dog-park fetch sessions, or trips around town. I’m currently without my own dog, so I can’t wait to enjoy some quality companionship with yours! Especially love the big, older dogs but I’m also happy to help with younger pups! I work from home part of the week and I am home during the weekends so I’m happy to spend lots of quality time with your furry friend! I also have neighbors who work from home so if there’s ever anything needed when I am at the office, there will always be help available. In my home, depending on what you do at your home, I am happy to have the dog in a crate or free range. I also have a large patio so we can enjoy some sunshine time together as well. My complex does have a dog park and we live next to a walking trail so outside time will not be an issue however if your dog loves just snuggling and staying indoors. I am fine with that vibe as well.
“Ms. Jordan has been wonderful! From the initial interview meeting to scheduled then cancelled visits, to the real thing - she's been very communicative. Our fur kids loved her visit, and I did too. We received updates and pics. We're grateful to have found her! I hate to recommend her though because that means she may be too bust and not able to come when we need her. ;-) I won't be selfish like that though. Thank you, Ms. Jordan.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs, since I was a young child I have shared the responsibilities of caring for a family dog. We have always had Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I am particularly adept at caring for active, very large dogs. Growing up I always cared for friend's, family's, and neighbors dogs while they were away on trips, or busy with work. This gave me the ability to care for a diverse profile of dogs with diverse, individualized needs. I am responsible and will closely follow the instructions left to provide your animal with the care it requires. While my experience is primarily with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats for my friends and family as well. In addition to providing your pet with high-quality care, I will also ensure that it feels secure, safe, and loved, even in your temporary absence. I have experience with dogs with high- anxiety, specifically separation anxiety, and I know how to calm your pet in these scenarios. Being apart from your furry loved one can be a time of anxiety for both you and your pet, but I will be sure to provide exceptional care to ease the anxieties of all involved. Overall, I am extremely loving, caring, and responsible, and feel I am an excellent choice to care for your pet. I am currently a Physician Assistant student, so I am busy during most of the day from 8-4, however I have breaks and can stop by to let your dog out or have a romp with them if needed. Other than that, my evenings, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are entirely open, allowing me to dedicate much attention to your pet! I will be sure to accurately and closely follow all instructions that you leave regarding your pets care. I am comfortable with crating dogs if that is your desire. I am also quite adept at "pet proofing' your or my home before leaving, to ensure there is no trouble your animal could get into. My home has a fenced in yard and one very friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, though I could make arrangements for him to reside elsewhere during your pets stay if that is your desire.
“Michaela was a wonderful caregiver for our three cats while we traveled for a week. She kept them happy while keeping me updated on how they were doing. And she even got our cranky cat to love her and let her give him medication. She’s great!”
“Oh, my pups were just so happy to see Jessi, and my younger dog who always barks with new people, did not bark at all! Jessi was very kind and had a calm demeanor with my senior pup and my anxious pup:) I will definitely request their help again!”
“Courtney was available last minute to swing by and let my golden boy out. Flexible with timing and great communication. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Lisa was an absolute ANGEL. She took such good care of my little girl, playing with her tons, and giving her lots of love and attention. Lisa sent me tons of photos everyday of my baby loving life. She even made me a magnet to keep with my cat's photos on it! I was blown away with this service and will absolutely be calling her the next time I need a sitter. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years and absolutely love it. I jump at the chance when a friend or family asks me to take care of their pets! I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter where we got to play with the animals, learn about their behaviors, and clean up after them. My favorite thing to do is take them on walks or just simply hang out. I have lots of experience pet sitting and would love to take care of yours! I’m currently working part-time from home and have flexible hours during the week and weekend. I’d be happy to help out with your pet whenever you need. I have a family dog who I feed, take outside, and play with when I am back home. I am able to do the same for yours!
“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, and I have a big 110 pound lovable anxious boy dog and I have been trained to build his confidence and take him on enjoyable walks- with lots of patience and treats! I also have a cat and can appreciate all personalities of cats! My schedule is very open and flexible! I am willing to move my own personal schedule around for my clients needs and requests for their pets. I make sure to create an environment to make animals feel safe and spoiled. I appreciate all personalities of animals and make sure they always feel loved!
About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for the past 7 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I also cared for my own 15-year-old dog, including helping with diapers, medication, and other senior care needs, so I’m comfortable providing extra patience and attention when needed. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always treat your dog with the same love and care as my own. I’m currently taking two online classes, which don’t take up much of my day, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of one-on-one care throughout the day to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I live right on campus in a safe, pet-friendly area, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’m able to take them on walks around the friendly neighborhood and down to the courtyard as often as needed for potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, prioritize their safety, and treat them like they’re my own!
“Talk about “above and beyond” - Khasia was amazing to work with - and on very short notice! Goldie was very well taken care of and I would not hesitate to use Khasia again. She was polite, professional, and very kind.”
“Julianne was so wonderful with Andi for doggy day care! Lots of pets, toys, and pictures. Andi got exactly what she needed which was a long nap and snuggles. Julianne was very responsive and easy to work with. Will definitely use her again if ever in town!”
About: I grew up on a farm in rural Appalachia so I have been surrounded by pets of all different types for as long as I can remember. I learned how to care for them very early on in my childhood and that experience fostered my passionate love for all animals. I believe in caring for them, not just as pets, but members of our families. I am flexible with my routine so I can meet the varying needs of the doggies that stay with us. We can discuss more in depth when you inquire to book. I have a spacious, fenced in back yard that is perfect for zoomies and playtime! My home is open and welcoming. I have lots of space for them to hangout or to relax in their kennel.
About: I have a genuine passion for caring for both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I love being active and going on walks, and I’d be thrilled to have your dog join me! I’m currently enrolled in a doctoral program and complete my coursework from home, which gives me full control of my schedule and plenty of flexibility. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care and accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. I am in school full time at home so my schedule is very flexible and likely can adjust to you and your pets personal needs! I have a friendly 30 pound dog who does well with others. I also have a yard for your pet to run and play in!
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life, and currently own 2 of them. I’ve always shown a love for animals! I have spent my entire life with dogs and have taken care of others for family friends and neighbors while they were away. I have also spent a significant amount of time caring for dogs through Rover. As for cats, I have never personally owned any but again have spent a lot of time with them through Rover and love to take care of them! I work 8:30-4:30 as a medical assistant at an ENT Monday through Friday. Other than that, I should be available to take care of your pets! If it’s for drop-in visits, I can make time during my lunch break to let your dog out! In my apartment I will be sure to refill food and water at required times and can go for walks as needed. As for at your home, it is important to know that I am a very calm, gentle, and responsible person and will make sure things go smoothly at your home with whatever requests you have for the visits.
About: I grew up with all different kinds of animals and have petsitting experience taking care of cats and dogs. I love spending time with animals and the joy they bring! At this time, my schedule is mostly open and I am accepting new clients. I am available during the week and weekends as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I have 2 dogs myself, a pit mix and beagle. They are truly the beat companions. I can do drop-in visits, doggy daycare (can be customized to your dog’s needs / wants), overnight boarding in our home, and dog walks!
About: I provide low-volume, personalized boarding for dogs who deserve more than a kennel experience. I intentionally accept only a small number of dogs at a time so every pup receives plenty of attention, supervision, affection, and individualized care. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, and reptiles. As a dental student, attention to detail, communication, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, cuddly, food-motivated, or has a very specific routine, I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy so they can truly enjoy their stay. A typical day includes plenty of outdoor playtime in my large fenced backyard, lots of attention, couch naps, treats (with owner approval!), enrichment, and quality one-on-one time. Every dog is different, so I tailor the day to their personality and energy level. Some dogs want to spend hours running around the yard, while others are happiest curled up next to me while I study. Either way, they’ll be included in my daily routine and treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: I want your dog to be excited when they arrive and exhausted from fun when they go home! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a large fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and closely supervise all interactions. Before every stay, I take time to learn your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, sleeping preferences, medications, and any special needs so I can provide the smoothest transition possible. I also provide frequent photo updates and communication throughout the stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and cared for.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was in college. I’ve been looking after pups ever since. My current best friend is a theee-legged mutt named Jeff and he loves when company comes over. I’m a freelance editor who works from home so I set my own schedule. I keep a pretty regular routine with my own dog. We shouldn’t have any trouble adapting to your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and can do most of my work from the screeened in porch. That’s nice because it lets me keep an eye on the pooch while also feeling less like a cave hermit hunched over a keyboard all day.

“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
“Jill was awesome! We found her on the app, had her booked and dropped off the next morning for a long day. She is very competent with dogs. After meeting her we relaxed and had our day out without worrying. She updated us as much as we wanted and Shelby was happy and tired when we picked her up. I would give her 6 stars if the app allowed.”
“Lauryn was the nicest person ever. She agreed to watch tasia last minute so we could enjoy a nice day at the fair. Would definetly have her watch my fur babe again if we ever come through Tennessee again. She communicates very well with lots of pictures.”
“Our boy's stay with Tabatha was just what the doctor ordered. Brinkley needed a play date and some serious socialization. He had three friends to play with, a couple of small kids and a lot if acreage to do it in. We got a much needed day off free from worry or stress about our boy. Tabatha even offered to give him food from her private stores when we decided to stay out later than we had originally planned. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Tracy was a blesssing! We have a very sweet spoiled baby, and she put all of our fears to rest about leaving her. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Tracy!”

I can provide references for those I have serviced in the past that have not been through the app. 🐈 I am a former President, Vice President, and class representative of the Animal Legal Defense Fund at the University of Tennessee College of Law. I am available any day of the week for boarding. 🐈 Currently, I am not accepting bookings over 2 months in advance. 🐈 For drop in visits and walks, I am available Mon-Fri between 7:30-8:30 a.m., 11:30-1:30 p.m., and after 6 p.m. Available all day Saturday and Sunday beginning 9 a.m. 🐶 Drop off and pickups must occur between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 🐈 Meet and greets must occur in the evening and are offered at Sutree Landing Park. Your pets become mine for a few days! I would care for them as if they were my own. I let pets staying in my home on the furniture and sleep in my bed. If you would like pictures of my home to see where your pet would be staying, feel free to ask! My personal pets vacate my home and stay with their other parent while I am sitting to eliminate conflicts with guest pets. 🐈 I send as many pictures as you want and I am available by text all day.
About: I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for the past 7 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I also cared for my own 15-year-old dog, including helping with diapers, medication, and other senior care needs, so I’m comfortable providing extra patience and attention when needed. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always treat your dog with the same love and care as my own. I’m currently taking two online classes, which don’t take up much of my day, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Because of this, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of one-on-one care throughout the day to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I live right on campus in a safe, pet-friendly area, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air. I’m able to take them on walks around the friendly neighborhood and down to the courtyard as often as needed for potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, prioritize their safety, and treat them like they’re my own!
About: I’ve house sat, pet sat, baby sat, since I was in high school! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Speech Language Pathology at UT and am looking for some furry friends to hang out with between studying! I’m currently in school so my schedule is more open than working a 9-5! This summer I have several days a week completely open and am super flexible! There’s nothing I love more than giving love and care to your fur babies! I’m ready to care for the littlest puppies to our senior citizens!
About: My family has fostered dogs for the past few years, and we’ve had at least one family dog since I was born. I pet sit for my neighbors and family friends often, both cats and dogs alike, and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities! On the daily I take care of my family dogs. I take them on morning walks, make sure they don’t eat each other’s food, and give them PLENTY of play time, pets, and loves! I’m also well-versed in caring for anxious dogs, as our medium-size dog is very nervous at most hours of the day. I don’t believe in using fear tactics to punish dogs, such as time-outs or spraying them with water. Instead, I promote positive behaviors by engaging with them happily and giving them treats (if permitted) when they do something they’re supposed to do! With my clients, I take pets on walks or do a scheduled play time for as long as is requested, and I make sure they’re comfortable and fed every time I visit! If overnight or all-day stay is needed for particularly clingy pets, I’m completely open to discussing hours for that, and will never leave a pet alone or push it away if it needs a person there!
About: I have tons of experience dog walking for the humane society and even helped with training. I’m also happy to help take care of any animals during the day or night. I currently work and attend pellissippi. Most of my classes are online . So I am usually free to help take care of your pet! I have grown up with and worked with tons of cats and dogs so I’ve seen it all. I have experience giving meditation to even the most stubborn dogs. Please book with me!

“Savannah had a good time with Joe, she got to go on walks, have her treats and just chill out on his couch with him. It didn't take her very long to roll over to get her tummy rubbed, either. Joe kept me updated with photos of her and I texted him with little things I forgot to mention. We will definitely be having Joe take care of her again!”
