“Tish is amazing! She took my two dogs when I had to leave town at the last minute. She was so kind and made sure they felt right at home. We were updated frequently with photos and videos which was much appreciated. The drop off and pick up were so easy and I can’t wait to use her again! Thank you Tish!”
“Gaby is wonderful and we will use her services again for certain. She updated us with pictures and messages on how the dogs were doing. They were well cared for and well loved in a great environment.”

“My cat Willow had such a great time! I loved getting pictures everyday to see how she was doing. She was cared for so well! I’m so glad there’s someone close by that I can trust to help out with my animals!!”
“Justin was able to take Eleanor last minute and even squeezed in a drop in visit to make sure she was comfortable with him before her stay. She can take a minute to warm up to new people but he quickly put her at ease. He was also great with communication throughout the weekend. We came home to a very happy and tuckered out dog!”
“Ellie was so happy and made herself right at home. Christina sent pictures and made me feel completely at ease. I will definitely take Ellie back over in the future.”

“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.”
“Clyde had another successful stay with Tatiana and Kairo. The plus is she came through last minute when my original sitter cancelled, and I was in a slight panic. There’s nothing like feeling peace when you travel out of the country and know your furry child is in good hands. Gosh, arriving at Tatiana’s place, Clyde was even trying to push open the door in excitement. I love that he feels safe and at home when he’s with them. And, it was good to know she handled his anxiety well during a bad storm. We will definitely book Tatiana again!”
“Stephanie was so accommodating with my last minute booking. It was a lifesaver. I got frequent updates and pics that made me feel so reassured. Even my reactive dog was very happy and relaxed during her stay. Thank you for a wonderful experience!”
“I highly recommend Katie and Cedar! Jake just spent four nights with them and although he was glad to see me, he was very happy and comfortable with them! They have a fenced in backyard and Jake absolutely loved running and chasing cedar who was a lot of fun to be with and likes to play. Katie is a sweetheart and I have a lot of confidence in her abilitie to keep Jake safe, AND that he would enjoy being with them. Jake is excited to have a new place to go and stay. Thank you!”
“Brittany did a great job while we were out of town! She took very good care of Homer and even got out of her way to replace Homer’s bed after another pup got too rambunctious! Thank you so so much!!”

“We had Becca come for a meet and greet while we were home to meet our pack and the setup for future house sitting. She was very communicative prior to the visit and really loved on our furbabies during the visit. We are looking forward to planning our trip and for Becca to stay with our furbabies.”
“It was evident when we first met her, JaNiya is an animal lover. She’s knowledgeable about animals and their needs. She was patient with our scaredy cat and let her slowly get used to the new human in the house. JaNiya is very kind and she was respectful of our home. We will definitely request her to housesit/cat sit for us again.”
“Melanie was so wonderful with our cat Luna! We talked with her a bit before we officially scheduling and she seemed so nice and kind. She came in every day and played with Luna and tended to her needs. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I specialize in providing personalized care tailored to each cat’s unique needs whether they love snuggles or prefer their personal space.

“We love Zoey! She is a very professional animal enthusiast, and always sends us updates and pictures. We have rebooked her, will continue to work with her, and would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
About: To comfort any animal brings comfort to myself. I have experience with all kinds of pets and love all animals but cats are what you’d find in my home. It’s a common misconception that cats don’t require much attention but as a domesticated animal they thrive on human companionship while also having many natural instincts to accommodate. Some require more attention than others depending on their personality. One of the most important instincts to satisfy is the need to hunt/play. There are some automatic or interactive toys that work well but for the most part the best toy is something on the end of a string attached to a wand/rod and their human’s participation. This way you can mimic the evasive movements of an actual prey for your cat to hunt. This provides exercise and stimulation and I would be happy to play with your cat(s) I’m very good at befriending anxious or less trusting cats and identifying the things that exacerbate their anxiety and finding solutions to comfort them. I also have experience administering medications. With a cat the easiest route of administration is a liquid solution mixed in with some wet food or treat or squirted into the back side of the mouth with an oral syringe. Giving a cat a pill can be more difficult but it can be done. I would wrap them in a towel or blanket, lubricate pill so it doesn’t stick to fingers or tongue, tilt head back and insert pill into back of the mouth, return head to level position and rub their throat and/or slightly blow on the nose to stimulate swallowing reflexes, then give them a treat and love them! When possible I scoop our 3 cats’ boxes after every use. I’m happy to clean and scoop your cat’s box(es) with the same vigilance. A clean litter box is one factor in ensuring a healthy and happy cat!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Palmer
“Thank you Jodi for keeping our sweet Pickle snuggled and loved while we were out and about. You did an amazing job and Pickle was delighted to see you! If we are ever passing through again, we will definitely ask for you to care for our pup again.”
“Sara is amazing with Leo! He is so happy when he gets to go to her house and I always know he is well taken care of and has a blast. Will definitely keep asking Sara to hang with my boy!”
“Dominique was wonderful! Our sitter fell through at the last minute and she took great care of our boy for the day with updates throughout! Would leave him with her again for daycare! 😊”
“Would definitely be a repeat customer of Tatiana’s! She menu was accommodating, friendly, great location, and better yet our dog loved her and her sweet dog, Kairo!”
“George and his family took excellent care of my dog, Fennec. I got regular updates and a couple of photos, so I never worried. My nervous boy, Fenn, settled in easily with George and the kids. I will definitely take Fenn there again. I highly recommend!”
“I’ve used Joseph a few times now, and he’s been amazing every time. My puppy has so much fun and always comes home tired (in the best way). Joseph is reliable, caring, and someone I fully trust with my dog.”
“Gaby was very flexible with my fluctuating schedule. She was also very welcoming and patient with my pup. She reported back about his day and how he behaved during day care. I highly recommend Gaby.”
“Angela was a lifesaver! We spent a week in Utah skiing with family, and Angela helped us out with some last minute doggy daycare and boarding. She has a lovely family with 3 kids and 2 dogs, and combined, they gave our 5-month-old puppy so much love, attention, and playtime. Our puppy is normally pretty shy and can take some time to acclimate to new people, dogs, and situations, but our worries completely disappeared when we saw how comfortable and happy she was when we picked her up after the first day of daycare. Thank you Angela for coming to our rescue at the last minute and 1) accepting Maya into your family for the week and 2) allowing my family to enjoy ourselves on the slopes. We will definitely book with you again the next time we're visiting Utah!”
“I cannot express how pleased I am with Ann, Bruno, and Reagan!! I feel so lucky to have found them. My dog typically takes a little to warm up to new people, but she feels so comfortable in their home. She loves going there and I feel so at ease when I drop her off. They are extremely accommodating with my schedule, send updates throughout the day, and love my dog like she is their own!! They are so so great, but don’t book with them so their calendar stays open for us!! 😊”

About: Hi, I'm Alora! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, goats, pigs, and chickens. I'm certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the Red Cross and am experienced with senior pets, special needs pets, and energetic puppies. I'm a Rover Star Sitter and stay home during the day, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care for the pets I welcome into my home. My husband and I share our home with our two school age boys and our two friendly Mini Australian Shepherds, Baloo and Akela. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, potty breaks, and exercise, and I also offer walks around our quiet neighborhood. I accept a limited number of pets at a time so each guest receives plenty of individualized attention and care. Whether your pet is staying for boarding, daycare, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they'll be treated like family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I’m home full time with my two school age boys, so I’m able to give plenty of love and attention to every pet I care for. From morning potty breaks and walks to evening snuggles, your pup is part of our daily routine. We go on neighborhood walks, enjoy playtime, and keep you updated with photos along the way. Your pet will feel like part of the family while you’re away! 🐾 In my home: Pets are part of the family! I provide lots of love, playtime, walks, and regular potty breaks. I keep their routines as close to home as possible. In my client’s home: I follow all care instructions carefully feeding, walks, medications, and plenty of attention so your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.
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.
About: I have been a pet owner many times through my childhood and well into adulthood. I also worked for ‘Just Fur the Weekend’, a pet boarding company where I had the opportunity to foster lovely relationships between the pet owner and pets. Trust, quality care and comfort are very important to me! I am a stay at home mom with two kids under five. We are a pet lovers household. Between the three of us your pet will have a lot of fun playdates and quality time. Routine walks and playdates are essential to maintaining a healthy and active day. Potty training for indoor/outdoor pups and precision meal planning. If any meds are necessary, we’ll make sure we’re on the same page.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring her to care for my furry friends and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep love and respect for animals, and it showed in the way she interacted with my dogs. I was able to enjoy my time away with complete peace of mind, knowing that my dogs were in great hands. When I returned, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. I can't recommend Sonja and Yolanda highly enough - if you're looking for responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitters, look no further!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years and truly love being around them! Before moving to Chattanooga, I cared for the same family’s dog for over two years, building a strong bond with both the pup and the family. I’ve also worked as a nanny, where I was responsible not only for the children but also for their family dog—making sure they were walked, fed, and loved. I now have a puppy of my own, so I understand the daily needs, attention, and patience dogs require at every stage. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family! I work during the weekdays, but I’m fully available in the evenings and at night for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m also completely free on weekends. In my home, pets get a safe, clean, and cozy space with lots of love and attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible. If I’m in your home, I make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for while respecting your space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages!
