Personalized care for your dog or cat - Norris
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Norris
“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover and we are so thankful that it introduced us to Jeanie. We have never received so many photos and updates about our 2 dogs, it was amazing. Our dogs relaxed and sunbathed on her porch, played with the other dogs, and even got some snuggles. We cannot thank Jeanie enough for being available on such short notice and for the care she gave our 2 dogs. Jeanie is now our go-to for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”
“Daniella is a born dog person. She was attentive and communicative. She paid attention to what Sunny was doing and sent pictures along the way. Would absolutely use her services again and recommend to anyone.”
“Sarah was the perfect choice for our dogs. You can tell that she really loves taking care of animals. She did a fantastic job boarding and working with our two Dachshunds (Polly and Oscar). One of our dogs was never boarded, and had little experience around other dogs. She handled that with ease. She acclimated him with her dogs, and it looked like he had a blast. She sent us plenty of updates that kept us from worrying about how the pups were doing. We came from out of town so we wish she was closer to us. We would definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone.”
“Jordyn was awesome!! We left our fur buddy with her and her partner for 3 and 1/2 days and he was so well looked after. She was great about communicating how he was doing and sent some great photos! Will definitely be booking with Jordyn again in the future!”
“What a wonderful experience! Prior to booking, Mary arranged a meet and greet to ensure we were a good fit on both ends. I was out of town for 5 days and knowing that Sage was being so well loved and cared for made traveling so much easier. I got multiple pictures and updates thru the day which puts a dog mom at ease. I would 100 percent book Mary ( and her family) again and would highly recommend you do as well. They ALL treated her as a part of their family, they have a large fenced in back yard which is reassuring if your dog does not prefer other animals. Thank you Mary, Bob, and Ava for loving my girl!”
“Caillynn was great! She sent plenty of updates and pictures during his stay, and he was returned in great shape. The big yard and fence meant that I'm sure my dog had a great time during his weekend stay!”
“Felt confident that Scout was being loved and cared for. Penny sent pics and videos and kept us updated on how Scout was doing. Would absolutely recommend Penny and use her again.”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Hannah has such a kind soul. My dog went over to her without pause. We got updated photos during her sleepover which definitely helps with the separation anxiety. I will always use Hannah as my go to dog person.”
“My pups love it here! They are well cared for, and it is definitely their home away from home because Kristy makes sure it feels that way! We will definitely book her again and again :D”
“What a wonderful experience! Joan’s communicating was top notch from our initial conversation. Her calm and loving demeanor with my dogs and my family gave us a sense of comfort before we even left her doorstep. Joan had nothing but kind words and sweet insight for us. My pups had a lovey stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Joan!”
“Absolutely great stay for my Labrador retriever Jake. Stephanie was very easy to work with and I can tell Jake had a good time and was very well taken care of. I will definitely be letting Jake stay there again anytime we’re out of town.”
“LOVED the experience. I knew my girl was in safe hands and am so glad I booked with Skylar. Very responsive, very understanding, randomly sent pictures!! I never worried once while she took care of my moody, drooly dog. Will use her again and again, as long as she will have us!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She sent photos and really took care of my 2 pups! They were very worn out when they got home from all the fun they had! We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Maisey did great with Keturah. It was our first time leaving her with someone besides family, and she did fantastic. We got a mid week update and learned that she was living large and had new friends. It really put me at ease. Overall, great experience.”
“Sandra was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Stayed in communication to update how well MJ was doing. Loves the pics she sent. He really enjoyed the weekend! Would def book with Sandra again”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
“Michelle is a wonderful pet sitter. She send me texts and pictures daily about how my dog was doing. Michelle gave me peace of mind knowing my dog is safe, happy and well take care of.”
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

“Always happy when Jill is available to check in on our girls. This time, we had some packages arrive early unexpectedly (including a huge Chewy box - sorry Jill!) and she brought them in for us. I always know my house and pets will be taken care of with her.”
“I am so happy to have found Sarah. I have a 7yr old cat Zoomie and I go away quite frequently on the weekends. I was looking for someone to look in on him and feed him so I don't feel so guilty leaving him alone. Sarah was wonderful. Very trustworthy and reliable. She came to meet with me beforehand and even though Zoomie hides from everybody he was happy to have met her too. She came both Saturday and Sunday morning and even got a picture of him in his hiding spot! I will definitely be calling Sarah again and highly recommend her!”
About: I have had cats my entire life, including now! I am experienced in kitten, senior cat care and everything in between. I have fostered and adopted out multiple litters (including bottle fed babies) and I would love to help you take care of your babies!
“Lydia is AWESOME! She went above and beyond as our sitter. Not only did she hanging out with our kitty but she also brought my packages out of the rain. Lydia was really kind and quickly won over my grumpy cat. She’s a keeper for sure!”
About: Hey y'all! I have a love for animals and I'm looking for pets to hang out with and care for while I'm in school and working a full time job. I'm going to school to get my veterinary technician license with Penn Foster. Luckily, it's a strictly online school! I'm also a full-time Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital, so I have plenty of experience with caring for animals. Friends and family have always considered me very trustworthy with their pets since I was young! I can't remember a time when I didn't love animals. I have been pet sitting for a few years for my family and parents' coworkers, but I thought I would step it up and try Rover! I currently work at an animal hospital and I previously worked at a doggy daycare. All of this while also being in school to get my license! These experiences have helped me gain important skills and qualifications to take care of any pet! Some of the skills that make me qualified include: -Giving oral medication -Injectable medication -Senior dog experience -First Aid -Bathing -Walking -Providing boarding care (keeping up with food, water, and playtime) -and of course I'm experienced with providing a whole lotta love! I'm currently working around 32-36 hours a week at an animal hospital, which means I work long hours occasionally, but I will still make plenty of time to stay with your fur babies and watch over them before and after work. I make sure to provide as much social and/or physical playtime for your pets when I am taking care of them! Since I do work long hours this would mean I can drive over during my lunch break to prove the proper care.
“Jasmine was amazing, once again! The cats look happy and that’s the most I can ask for. She even brought in our mail and packages, which was super helpful due to all of the holiday mail. Will use her again in the future! I knew my cats were cared for the entire time we were gone for the holidays.”
“Jeanie was so good with my pets! I asked her to do two drop-ins per day while I was away. She did everything that was needed for my dogs and sent me really great pictures of my dogs, which made me feel confident that they were taken good care of while I was gone.”
“We have used Storm multiple times so it was an easy choice to make for our last vacation. Since we lost our Odin a few months ago, the cats only needed a couple of drop ins and Storm handled it beautifully as always! Thank you!”
“Rebecca looked after my cats so well, I really appreciated her services! I went out of town to attend my sibling’s wedding and I was so glad I didn’t have to worry about my pets while enjoying time with my family. Rebecca was wonderful to communicate with and kept me updated all along the way. Highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Louisa has been helping out with my dogs for a couple months now and she has taken excellent care of them when I am at work or out of town. My dogs loves her and she makes sure they get the attention they need. My dogs are my world and she treats them with the same love and care! I will continue to use Louisa and highly recommend her to anyone in need!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have often relied on me to check in, feed, and spend time with their cats while they’re away. I also have a cat of my own, so I’m used to the daily routine and know that every cat has its own personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or just wants a quiet companion while you’re gone, I’m happy to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Norris
“Jeanie was FANTASTIC with our boy! I had to look for doggy daycare for our young puppy rather last minute and she was so sweet and accommodating. We got lots of pictures of him during his stay. Our little guy had a blast and got lots of love and attention. When we arrived, his crate was all folded up and all of his belongings were packed up and ready for us to pick him up. She’s a real dog-lover and is great with potty training pups. We would definitely book with Jeanie again if needed. 10/5 stars.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Daniella was amazing. I dont think they could get any better than her. She kept us updated and took some amazing pictures of our dogs. Will definitely use again and recommend her.”
“Wonderful experience! Koda did NOT want to leave, he had such a good time with Jenny and her dogs. I've never seen our dog so exhausted and happy. Lots of updates with video, and Jenny was very flexible when we were stuck in traffic coming home. She was awesome!”
“Great communication during the booking process and during the daycare stay. Lauryn sent several pictures and videos and Moose had fun and was happy when we picked him up. I would book again!”
“Jan was able to watch Maddie for doggie daycare on short notice. She has a great set up for yard access and also being able to hang out in the cool of the A/C on a comfy couch. It made my day with my family so much better knowing she was being looked after and had Jan’s company while being in a different environment. I would definitely recommend her and I would leave Maddie in her care again if I needed to.”
“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.”
“Mary was a wonderful caregiver for our dog! It was our first time using Rover and things couldn't have been better. Mary sent updates during the day, kept our pup entertained with walks, and gave him lots of TLC. We'd love to have Mary watch him again when we're in the Knoxville area.”
“Joan is absolutely wonderful! It was puppy love at first sight. My dog spent three days with her. She sent pictures! My dog was very well loved, and well cared for. She takes him on walks during the day. She has a lovely home, which allows him to do his zoomies. My dog took to her instantly, and so did I. She’s a very loving and caring woman. I would highly recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kristy was wonderful with our girl! She sent pictures throughout the day letting us know how she was doing and what she was up to. We had total peace of mind and know that our dog had a great day with great care.”
“It was our first time leaving our 4 month puppy, Homie with a sitter and we were nervous. Lucky for us, Zoe was available and so close to our home! Homie did great and fit in with their family ❤️ Thank you so much for loving on our baby.”
“Caitlin and her family took excellent care of our girl. We were nervous to leave her with someone we didn’t know for the first time, but Caitlin sent plenty of updates throughout the day and even took Dixie out hiking. We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I've been around all types of dogs and pets since I was a little girl! My parents have put me in charge of my dogs countless times and I believe our fur children deserve the best care! When I take care of others pets I not only care for them but also for the adults that are putting them into my care, taking care of their home and their belongings! I am currently a stay-at-home wife so I have the flexibility and time to care for your pets at any time! I am starting a social media business so I wanted to help out some pet parents while I have the freetime! I will be with your pet anywhere they go and make sure they are safe and friendly with other pets if we encounter them! I will play and exercise with them so they are not as hyper for you when you come home!
“I was anxious to leave Sadie somewhere for the first time, but Melinda made the process so easy and really put me at ease. She sent pictures and a video throughout the day. I would highly recommend her. We’re using her again in June. Thank you Melinda for making this a great experience!”
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.
“Caillynns place is perfect and she's taken great care of our dog. He loves it there. Big yard and plenty of space to run around, and a couple who takes great care of him. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.

Young and old, I will love and care as if they are my own. ❤️🐾 At this time, I'm working to pay off my tuition. Veterinary nurse in progress 🩺🐾 As an aspiring veterinary nurse, my schedule is designed around animal care. My self-paced studies allow me the flexibility to prioritize your pet's needs while applying my clinical knowledge to their daily well-being. Between my veterinary nursing studies and managing my own 'zoo' at home—a 75lb puppy and two cats—I’ve mastered the art of a peaceful household! I’m an expert at juggling different personalities, whether that means supervised meal times or keeping everyone safely separated. I’ll treat your fur-babies with the same care and clinical eye I give my own.
About: I have had dogs all of my life. I have had small Jack Russells to large German Shepards, hunting breeds, purebreds and pound puppies. I have helped raise Brittany puppies and cared for senior dogs. Dogs always seem to attach themselves to me; partly because I am always loving on them and also because I am calm around them. I work from home so am available to take multiple walks throughout the day and play with them if they are high energy dogs. I am extremely flexible with your dogs needs or if there are special requests. Please don’t hesitate to ask. I will do my best to give your pet the best experience away from home and to treat them like my own. I work from home but when I am caring for your pet I make them the priority. I love getting to know them and their personalities. I don’t have a fenced yard so dogs are kept on a leash unless they are trained to follow commands. I try to give them the best experience in outdoor play within safe guidelines. When in a clients home I will typically try to keep your dog active with play or outdoor activities. They will also get lots of belly rubs and butt scratches. I do try to keep everything else consistent with their routine such as feedings and potty breaks. I try to never be gone more than a few hours at a time especially when getting to know your dog.
About: (PSA - I’m married! So if you don’t mind a couple watching your pets, we’ll be more than happy to serve you! The below agreement will still apply, of course; there’s just a second set of hands. I can also watch your home and pets solo if that’s what you prefer. 🥰) Home/Pet Owner Satisfaction Agreement: - My personal motto is "Leave it better than you found it." - Your home will be taken care as if it was my own. - I will do light cleaning and even landscaping if needed, so your home stays well kept. - Your pets will receive the attention they deserve. - I will do my absolute best to make sure their daily routine stays the same as if you were home. - I will send you all the pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind that your pets are happy, safe, and well taken care of. - If you ask me to do something, it will get done. - When you return home, you'll be able to rest immediately because your home will be clean and your pets happy (though definitely excited to see you again!). I always don't trust people easily, and I usually rely on myself a lot to get things done. So it'd be scary for me to have a stranger taking care of my home and pets. I'd worry constantly over my furry family. That's why I try to immediately put you at ease during our initial conversation and respect your home and pet(s).

After reading the reviews on my profile and browsing the photo gallery (Get ready for cuteness overload and not from me!), here's how you can work with me: 1. Send me a message. 2. In that message, tell me about your pets, their needs, and what dates you'll be gone. 3. We'll adjust the pricing if needed. 4. Before finalizing the booking, I will meet you and your pet(s) in your home for you to walk me through the daily routine and see if we're a good fit. 5. If both parties agree, we confirm the booking. It's that easy! Thank you so much in advance for trusting me with your home and pet(s)! In return, I will strive to take the best care of your home and pet(s). So that you won't loose any sleep worrying if they're okay or not. That way, you can actually enjoy your vacation or fully focus on business and/or family while you're gone. I work remotely full time as a writer and freelance marketer, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I’m completely available any day for whatever you need and will be able to give your home and pet(s) the attention they deserve. I will follow whatever instructions you give to a T. As a creative person, my brain can be scattered, but having instructions in a text or list helps a ton. That way, you have utmost peace of mind that your home and pet(s) are receiving the best care!

About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.
About: I have had animals my entire life, I currently have 3 dogs and a cat of my own. I have small and extra large dogs so I know the care that each size group requires.

I can follow strict regimens regarding food, brushing, bathing, medicine etc. I have almost full availability as I am a Teacher through the school year and off through the summer time. I am a morning person so I have no problem scheduling something early, and love an evening walk when the sun starts to go down as well. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own so animal care is already part of my daily routine! I have a reliable vehicle to take me to and from your house, as well as a love for exercise for walking your dogs! You and your animals experience with a walker/sitter is my top priority. I understand the fear of being unable to find someone trustworthy to watch your pets, having some of my own. I have a large fenced in yard and still make time to take all 3 dogs on walks to give them the exercise and stimulation they need to be happy.
About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.
About: I have watched many dogs and other animals, so joining this site gives me a chance to take care of other animals who are in need of a sitter!! I do have a job in oak ridge and I am needing just a part time job and being able to take care of fur babies is always so much fun I promise to make sure your babies are taken care of and felt wanted, I love to play with animals so they’re safety is my number one priority!!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life, especially dogs and cats. Friends and neighbors have consistently relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I also have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep routines consistent and make animals feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, whether that means giving an energetic dog a good walk or taking the time to earn the trust of a more reserved cat. I’m reliable, detail oriented, and committed to making sure every pet is well cared for and gets the attention they deserve. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Because my work schedule varies, I can often work around your pet’s normal routine whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. My goal is to keep your pet’s schedule as normal and stress free as possible while you’re away. I focus on providing care in your pet’s own home where they’re most comfortable. I’m available for house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and consistency while you’re away.
About: Beverly here!!My entire life we have always had pets around. I have cared for dogs small and large. I have experienced with many animals from cats to goats.

About: Born and raised on a farm in Ohio, caring for animals has been in my DNA my whole life! I love animals of every shape and size, and raised Pembroke Welsh Corgi's for many years. Since my corgi's have passed away, I've chose to share my love with the fur babies of family and friends. I'm a single professional that works afternoon/evenings in Knoxville. I am generally available anytime on Monday and Tuesday's, and all other mornings till 1 pm. Also able to transport to airports. I'm able to follow your instructions and routine to keep your beloved companions safe, comfortable and secure. I believe the familiar environment of their home is the best place while you are away.

“Jeanie was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover and we are so thankful that it introduced us to Jeanie. We have never received so many photos and updates about our 2 dogs, it was amazing. Our dogs relaxed and sunbathed on her porch, played with the other dogs, and even got some snuggles. We cannot thank Jeanie enough for being available on such short notice and for the care she gave our 2 dogs. Jeanie is now our go-to for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”
“Daniella is a born dog person. She was attentive and communicative. She paid attention to what Sunny was doing and sent pictures along the way. Would absolutely use her services again and recommend to anyone.”
“This is the third time we boarded our lovely Coco at Lauryn’s place. I am writing this review because Lauryn did a great job caring for Coco, a picky eater and attention seeker. We tried multiple places to board Coco in the last 6 years, but every time, Coco gets sick because they cannot feed Coco. We will use Lauryn’s service every time we need to board Coco.”
“Sarah was the perfect choice for our dogs. You can tell that she really loves taking care of animals. She did a fantastic job boarding and working with our two Dachshunds (Polly and Oscar). One of our dogs was never boarded, and had little experience around other dogs. She handled that with ease. She acclimated him with her dogs, and it looked like he had a blast. She sent us plenty of updates that kept us from worrying about how the pups were doing. We came from out of town so we wish she was closer to us. We would definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone.”
“Jordyn was awesome!! We left our fur buddy with her and her partner for 3 and 1/2 days and he was so well looked after. She was great about communicating how he was doing and sent some great photos! Will definitely be booking with Jordyn again in the future!”
“Caillynn was great! She sent plenty of updates and pictures during his stay, and he was returned in great shape. The big yard and fence meant that I'm sure my dog had a great time during his weekend stay!”
“Allyson and Tyler were so great with Daisy!! They truly treated her like family and she had such a great time playing with the other dogs!! Such a better experience for her than traditional boarding.. I can tell by her mood after I picked her up that she had a great time staying at their house! I will definitely be booking with them for the future !”
“Andrew was great and took good care of my boy Leroy. His dog Jeff is a sweetie and I would definitely book with Andrew again so Leroy has both a human and canine companion he likes while I’m away!”
“Hannah has such a kind soul. My dog went over to her without pause. We got updated photos during her sleepover which definitely helps with the separation anxiety. I will always use Hannah as my go to dog person.”
“My pups love it here! They are well cared for, and it is definitely their home away from home because Kristy makes sure it feels that way! We will definitely book her again and again :D”
“Absolutely great stay for my Labrador retriever Jake. Stephanie was very easy to work with and I can tell Jake had a good time and was very well taken care of. I will definitely be letting Jake stay there again anytime we’re out of town.”
“LOVED the experience. I knew my girl was in safe hands and am so glad I booked with Skylar. Very responsive, very understanding, randomly sent pictures!! I never worried once while she took care of my moody, drooly dog. Will use her again and again, as long as she will have us!”
“Rachel was the best while I away for almost over a week! She was so accommodating and communicative about Willow's stay and was even willing to go the extra mile for her care and well being. Highly recommend!”
“Zoë & Cody were excellent hosts for Acadia. When we picked her up, she was happy as can be and in a playful mood. Zoë & Cody we’re good communicators and flexible when our plans changed unexpectedly.”
“Trey and his fiancé are amazing! Super responsive and flexible. My dog is a pretty anxious guy, but he fit right in and clearly had a great time—he was worn out when we got home and just went right back to his normal routine. I’d absolutely bring my dog back if needed!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She sent photos and really took care of my 2 pups! They were very worn out when they got home from all the fun they had! We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Laura is amazing! She is caring and kept us up to date with pictures and text messages. When our Allie wasn’t eating, she coaxed her by hand feeding her and made sure she was getting her meds. I 100% recommend Laura and will be using her again when needed.”
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by building trust with both pets and owners. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s helping reinforce puppy training, keeping up with high-energy dogs, or providing calm, compassionate care for senior pets, I always make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. I’m currently studying for my physical therapy boards, which allows me to be home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule for pet care. Because of this, I’m able to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feedings, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and, of course, lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
