I honestly couldn’t be happier. Kayla was always quick with replying, sent at least one photo every day(sometimes a video) of my trip, without prompting first. My dog had the best time at her place. 5 stars for sure. Will return whenever I go out of town.

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.

Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.

About: I've cared for Rescue dogs as a foster mom for the past 10 years. In that time I've experienced a huge variety of medical and behavior needs. That with my experience in the veterinary field, and I'm well equipped to care for anything your baby might need. Senior and medically needy pups will always have a special place in my heart, and I'd love to help you get a break with peace of mind that they are well cared for. I am a full time vet student, so my schedule varies by day, but on average I'll be at school at 8 am and home between 3 pm and 5 pm. I do come home at lunch to let the dogs out to potty and play for a bit. Our average routine is up around 5:45, let the dogs potty, feed them, then they play for a while, we leave at 7. Our guest pups hang out in their own room and we prepare enrichment toys as needed. I come home to let the dogs out to play for an hour at lunch, typically around 11 or 12. Once I'm home, I let the dogs potty and play, feed them at 5 pm, hang out/play the rest of the night, typically bedtime in their room around 8 pm, if needed around 10 pm I will let the dogs back out to potty. I have a fully fenced back yard with 5 ft fencing, so you can rest easy that your dog will be safe and secure while pottying and playing. We always supervise while the pups are outside. The 3 senior pups in our home are very used to guests and enjoy playing or can be kept fully separate from guests, if thats what they need.

About: I treat every pet like I would my own, with lots of love, patience, and attention. I’m great with playful puppies and gentle with senior pets, by meeting them where THEY are at. You’ll always get sweet photo updates and peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and loved. I am currently a senior at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I am a part time student, so I have time in my schedule to accommodate with your needs. I am more than happy to arrange my day around your pets, with my schedule being open most days of the week! I provide loving, attentive care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, always following their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I do this by getting to know the owner’s routine with their pet(s) and making sure I adjust what needs to be adjusted! This includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m gentle and patient with puppies and senior pets and make sure each pet gets the individual attention they need. I will make it a reoccurring event to send pictures to the owners to make sure they have security with their pet and I.

Victoria was WONDERFUL! I can’t say possibly say enough good things about her. She took care of my 2 cat babies exactly as I would. She was very thorough, provided informative visit details and lots of pictures, loved on and played with my boys, and was reliable. My one cat takes a daily pill and she got him to take it everyday no problems. This is easily the best experience I could have asked for when leaving my babies. I will be booking with Victoria again next trip!

Catherine took great care of our two kitties, including one who required extra special attention and medication administration. We felt at ease during our overnight trip knowing they had someone checking in on them, and enjoyed seeing all of the pictures and videos Catherine sent during our time away. It was hard for us to leave our sick kitty, but everything went so smoothly!

About: I have been around pets since I was born and I currently have a Rottweiler, 2 cats, and a fancy leopard gecko. They are my children! I care for animals daily. I clean up after dogs, feed them, water them, play and cuddle with them, and I even help take care of my mothers cat. I will care for pets in their own homes by feeding, watering, walking, and playing with them. I will also clean up after small dogs that are in the process of being potty trained.

This is the fourth time I’ve used Victoria and I couldn’t be happier. She’s extremely flexible with my schedule and always takes such good care of Juno. Juno gets tons of attention and exercise playing with Victoria’s puppy Stark and I can tell that she loves going over there based on how easy it is to get her in the car on the mornings I take her over there. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s a great sitter for a great price

About: There isn’t a time I can remember that I didn’t have pets. I’ve always loved caring for animals and I’m happy to extend this love and experience to caring for your pets as well! Currently, my schedule is widely available and I could spend as much time as needed with your pets. I am available every morning, all afternoons except Thursdays, and every evening. I’m also available on weekends! I have three loving cats and one very large, wonderful dog! My backyard is entirely fenced in and is complete with a wide selection of sticks from the surrounding woods. My pets are friendly and I enjoy doing necessary care tasks like feeding and grooming my pets all the way to special care when needed like medication distribution and separating pets for feeding to ensure correct portion and food.

About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do

About: Hello, my name is Anna! I have taken care of animals all my life, and I started pet-sitting for family and friends in high school. I have experience with various breeds and ages, from German Shepherd mix puppies to senior Pugs, so no size or temperament is off-limits. When your babies are with me, they’re treated as my babies. They will get plenty of love, treats, and exercise. I have been around cats/dogs my entire life and am very comfortable with all aspects of care including feeding, bathing, crate training, play time, and administering oral meds. If there are any special requests or needs regarding your pet’s well-being, I am more than happy to work with you to learn the routine. Coming from a family of animal lovers, I also have experience with less conventional pets. If you’re in search of care for a more unique animal and want to know if I would be a good fit, please contact me. Even if I don’t have experience with your animal(s), I would enjoy the opportunity to learn how to take care of them! I just moved to the area in February and Rover is currently my full time job. Throughout 2026 I will be honoring bookings made in my previous city. However, I still have a very flexible schedule and I’m willing to work with you, even if it’s on short notice. Depending on what service you need, I will establish a basic schedule with you in order to get a better insight on what your pet’s day-to-day looks like. I do have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. If you book with me, you can be assured that your pets will be in good hands and get the care they need upon your desired schedule.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and understanding of animals, especially cats, combined with my commitment to providing personalized care. I take the time to learn your pet’s unique routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a deep attention to detail and experience as a cat owner myself, I’m skilled at recognizing subtle cues that may indicate their needs or moods. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind. As a full-time student, I’ve mastered the art of balancing responsibilities, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize the well-being of animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s feeding, playing, or providing companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive attention and care when they need it. Caring for animals isn’t just a task for me—it’s a passion I make time for every day, even amidst my busy academic life. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for them. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for play, rest, and exploration. I maintain a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and quiet time to keep pets happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect and follow their established routines to provide consistency for their pets. I take care to keep the space clean and secure, ensuring their pet feels at ease while maintaining the familiar surroundings they’re used to. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box maintenance, or administering medications, I provide attentive care tailored to their specific needs. In both settings, communication with the pet owner is key—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give peace of mind and ensure trust.

About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. EmberTail Pet Care on Facebook and Instagram Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.

Excellent. Victoria did a fantastic job of making Eddie feel at home. He enjoyed the fenced yard and the inside quarters. She sent many pictures and kept me posted. Could not have been happier.

About: I've cared for Rescue dogs as a foster mom for the past 10 years. In that time I've experienced a huge variety of medical and behavior needs. That with my experience in the veterinary field, and I'm well equipped to care for anything your baby might need. Senior and medically needy pups will always have a special place in my heart, and I'd love to help you get a break with peace of mind that they are well cared for. I am a full time vet student, so my schedule varies by day, but on average I'll be at school at 8 am and home between 3 pm and 5 pm. I do come home at lunch to let the dogs out to potty and play for a bit. Our average routine is up around 5:45, let the dogs potty, feed them, then they play for a while, we leave at 7. Our guest pups hang out in their own room and we prepare enrichment toys as needed. I come home to let the dogs out to play for an hour at lunch, typically around 11 or 12. Once I'm home, I let the dogs potty and play, feed them at 5 pm, hang out/play the rest of the night, typically bedtime in their room around 8 pm, if needed around 10 pm I will let the dogs back out to potty. I have a fully fenced back yard with 5 ft fencing, so you can rest easy that your dog will be safe and secure while pottying and playing. We always supervise while the pups are outside. The 3 senior pups in our home are very used to guests and enjoy playing or can be kept fully separate from guests, if thats what they need.

About: I've been taking care of 4 legged animals since I was 6 years old. I am able to understand animals body languages and feel out their vibe and match it I am looking for employment so they might be left alone for some time but I have a partner who works from home and can look out for them I have an unfenced yard, 5 dogs and 4 cats. Everyone gets along but take a second to warm up and get the excitement out

Madeline took great care of our little guy while we left town for a week. He was happy and healthy when we returned. Madeline was flexible with drop off and pick up times and we really appreciate that.
