“Mallory was great with all the details. Meet and greet went well and Lizzie loved her right away. I appreciated all the communication she provided about pickup and drop-off as well as Lizzie's behavior while I was gone. Will def use Mallory and her family again.”

“I am so fortunate to have found Carola - not only did she take fantastic care of my two Brussels Griffon, she also prepared homemade food for them when they had upset bellies. They had a great time going on walks and playing with her and I can tell enjoyed their time with her. I greatly appreciate everything she did for them.”

“Alyson took great care of my goldendoodle, Rocket for 8 days while I was out of town. I received daily pictures and felt very reassured he was well taken care of. Rocket looked relaxed and calm and seemed to have a great stay. Alyson’s communication was direct and punctual and it was a great stress free experience.”
“Do you want your pets to feel so at home and comfortable that they are upset when they leave? Mark's house is the place to be! Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”

“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”

“Lilly was so wonderful! She took such great care of Buddy. She sent updates with pictures and a video! ? We would definitely recommend her and will be asking for services for Buddy again.”

“Heather took the best care of our dog, Betty while we were on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and communicating very well the whole time, we trust our dog to have the best time with her on future vacations! :)”

“Excellent care. Fran went above and beyond caring for our dog. He had tummie issues while we were gone and Fran even cooked special food for him and fixed the problem. Her communication was very informative the entire time. Fran even went to our vet for ear drops. Wow! We could not have found a better sitter than her. A real GEM!!!!”

“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”

“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”

“There are just no words for how awesome Leigha and her family are! Jackson had a wonderful time (as he napped most of the evening after pick up) and receiving pictures of him as part of their "family" were awesome!! Thank you so much for being so awesome with my baby boy!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I’ve always had a special place in my heart for them! I’ve had everything from Huskies to Pekingese. I work from home so I have plenty of flexibility as well as plenty of time to play, provide attention and snuggle with your pup! Working remotely allows me for flexibility in my home, where the pups have free range. I stay mostly in the main level of my townhome and have a fenced balcony as well as tons of grassy areas for the pups to go and play on
“Gracie watches Pebbles for 3 nights and 4 days. She sent updates during my trip.with pictures Gracie was very friendly and very thorough. My dog seems to enjoy the company of Grace's own pet's. I would have no hesitation using Grace's services or recommending her services to someone else.”

“Cassandra was amazing with our pup. She sent so many pictures, videos, and updates everyday. We could tell our sweet girl was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. We were so thankful knowing our girl was in good hands and will definitely use Cassandra in the future.”

“McKinley is great....a very nice young lady! I got to meet her for this first time and she met my kitty boo. She was very sensitive to both my quirky cat and me! I knew he (Seven) would be in good hands! I am very particular and McKinley is too! She feels like the perfect fit for us! Her experience shows, probably because she has several animals of her own (dogs and cat) and is a vet assistant. I'm looking forward to using her again. If you need someone who will "get it" with your pet, you need to reach out to her! Thank you McKinley!”


About: I have taken care of a cat since i was in 3rd grade. I have been relied on to cat sit my friend’s family’s cats on multiple occasions in their home. I have had 2 cats I have had to care for of my own.

About: I adore my cat, Maple! I have made it my #1 priority to give her the best life possible. I would want my girl to have the best care available while I’m away, you should too! I have experience taking care of kittens and adult cats. Both deserve to be played with and loved!
About: I grew up with all different sizes and different breeds of dogs. I also dog sit for family members when asked and love to walk, feed, and bathe the animals. I’m a veterinary technician so taking care of animals is part of my everyday routine. My passion is taking care of all the little fur babies and making sure they are loved. I currently have two chihuahua mix’s and a leopard gecko so we have a daily routine of getting up to go potty, eating breakfast, playing and making sure the babies are set for the day while moms away at work.
“Gracie is super sweet and always notified me when checking in 🙂. She really had my back when I needed her last minute! My house was left in a good condition and my cats loved her dropping in on them”

“Savanah was fantastic! Will definitely be booking with her again if I am ever in need of someone to watch my pets. She took great care of them, always communicated, and took excellent care of my home as well. She is very trustworthy and I’ve truly had a great experience with her!!”


About: What sets me apart from other cat sitters is my deep understanding of feline behavior and my patience with all personalities—from playful kittens to shy seniors. I’m experienced in administering medications, providing gentle care for older cats, and creating a calm, loving environment where your cat feels safe and happy.
“My cat was very calm and trusting with Grace from her first introduction even though Spider is now older and more cautious. She therefore allowed Grace to brush her during visits which was my key request. ++cj”

About: I like dogs more than most humans. Let me meet your four-legged baby, and we could be friends forever. We can go splash around in a creek or go to the park and throw frisbee. I work and go to school part time, but I have several days during the week I can devote my time to your fur baby. I’ll make sure your animals are fed and hydrated. I aim to stimulate them both mentally and physically so they can burn off steam. Don’t worry if they are high energy, so am I; so we will get along just fine. :)

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a young child. I use to volunteer at our local Shelter. I enjoy walking and playing with the dogs and giving lots of scratches and love and cuddles. I'm able to take them to appointments, feed them, etc. I currently have my precious best friends Buddy who is a Jack Russell Chihuahua mix and Cooper a Beagle, Chihuahua, Poodle mix! Buddy loves to walk in the park and play just like all our 4 legged friends and his younger brother Copper loves to do Zoomies in the house and yard, loves to kay in the sun and play with squeaky balls! I also have a cockatiel named Sora. 7 parakeets, named Sweetie, Little Foot, Baby, Neptune, Snow, Sunflower, and Millet. 1 cat named Kisa, and 1 Plecostomus or sucker fish named Archie! I love to spend time with and give lots of tender loving care to them all! I work 4 days a week but not late thankfully, so I'm always around to take care of my fur, feather, and scale, babies! We all love to play but also to learn different tricks and fun things to play with. I have a fenced in yard that my dogs have access to through a doggy door. I have a large indoor aviary for my birds, and my Sucker fish Archie has a large tank to himself!
About: I have over 45 yrs of experience in pet care. I was a dog trainer (now partially retired), owned my own pet sitting business for many years, fostered/adopted many rescues and I currently volunteer at and support several rescues. Animals are my heart and soul and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time and I will make myself available for your pet 24/7 whether it's late night potty trips outside or long walks during the day. I will care for your pets however you would like. I can do long walks, short walks, provide medications, specially prepared meals, play games, etc. I specialized in elderly dogs, hospice dogs and medical needs dogs when I fostered.
About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I recently graduated with an MBA from East Tennessee State University and I’m working full time as a marketing manager for Ballad Health Medical Associates. I work 3 in days in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and work 2 days remotely Monday and Friday. My job is 2 minutes from my home so I would be able to check on your dog during lunch or check on them at your place. For this reason I don’t accept house sitting on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday that are more than 10 miles away. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy

About: Hello! My name is Kelley and I have lots of furry children. I have three Siberian Huskies and a Shiba Inu and they make life fun and adventurous! I have experience working with cats and dogs of all sizes and behaviors. I also have experience caring for rabbits as I had my own. Growing up I volunteered at the VCA Adoption center where we took care of the animals looking for homes and spent a few years of my adult life volunteering and running a rescue. I absolutely love animals and treat all exactly as I would want someone to treat my own. 😁 I am available most evenings after 4PM or anytime on Thursdays. I try to be as flexible as I can for last minute bookings to assist in any way I can. My entire front yard is fenced in with 6ft chain link fencing. It has a mini agility course as a fun activity for the dogs. I also have extra crates and can crate if/when needed. If I am coming to your home I will treat it and your pets with love and respect.

“Melissa was great. We were traveling with our dog and wanted to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail. Melissa's house was about 20 min from the bike rental shop in Damascus, and it worked out perfectly to drop off our dog for a few hours while we biked. She has a big fenced in the back yard.”

About: I will continue your ways of interacting with your dogs. I will tailor my approach to your fur baby. I am experienced in the delicate handling of senior pets, including mobility assistance, administering oral or topical medications, and monitoring for subtle changes in health or behavior. For young pets, I reinforce your specific training cues and house-breaking routines to ensure consistency while you're away, helping them stay on track with their development. I use positive reinforcement and a calm energy to manage high-anxiety pets or those who are easily overstimulated, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I’ll send you consistent updates and photos so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving, giving you total peace of mind. Would you like to discuss a custom care plan or schedule a meet-and-greet to see how I interact with your pet? I've been around dogs all my life and will treat your pet like I treat my own. We don't deserve the love they bring and give out unconditionally. I'm retired. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. Plenty of time to play, walk and snuggle with your fur baby! Our yard is not fenced. We have 10+ acres to take walks. We have 3 dogs who love to play. Our pack is very excepting and inclusive.
“Ken was just fabulous. Arranging the stay couldn't have been easier, and he made me so comfortable leaving Rosie with him. He's obviously an animal lover, and Rosie opened up to him immediately. Throughout the morning, he sent photos and updates - including of a lovely hike along a bucolic nearby stream. Come afternoon, I picked up a tired and happy dog. Rosie will miss him.”

“I recently moved to the area and need a lot of help with my 2 boys given my hectic work schedule. Monica has gone above and beyond caring for my dogs and it is the biggest relief. She keeps me updated throughout the day and has even spent some time training my younger dog on her own accord. She is honestly a life saver for our little family! I would recommend her to anyone for walks!”

“I would highly recommend Alyson. She sends pictures and responds immediately if you ask for an update on your pet. My dog went for doggie daycare and was very eager to go and play with her dogs! I would definitely use her services again.”

“Carola was super accommodating and flexible when we contacted her on short notice to see if she could watch our high energy pup while we went for a hike in the provincial park (no dogs allowed). Drop-off went well and she allowed us to supervise while we introduced our dog to hers. She went above and beyond in caring for him and he was super happy when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Leaving our beloved dog, Abby, with a total stranger was a first for us, but we were camping and needed a dog sitter for half a day. From the moment we got out of the truck, Gracie was interacting with Abby. It was like they were old friends. Abby had a fun day with Gracie, her dog, and the fenced in backyard. Gracie also sent us the cutest picture. She deserves the 5-star rating and has our highest recommendation!”

“Kourtney was fabulous with our two pups while we biked the nearby Creeper Trail. She is friendly, took wonderful care of them, provided exercise and treats. We would definitely visit her again!”

“Lori did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Claire, during daycare! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Claire can be a little particular at times, but Lori made her feel completely comfortable and at ease right away. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked Claire up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing she was safe and happy. I would absolutely recommend Lori to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”

I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and our own dog loves the company of other dogs. I am a mom and am in nursing school, but pet care is the highlight of my day. My schedule is open during weekends during the school semester, and outside of that I'm fulltime at home. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat friendly home. I also have children at home, but they are 10 and up. I prefer dogs crated at night, but during the day they are allowed to roam inside or out in the fenced backyard and will be well taken care of with lots of friendly petting in my home.

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.
About: I work as a veterinarian technician, and I am certified in animal medicine. I have been walking dogs, boarding dogs, and doing in home visits for many years. I love all animals and care for each as if they were my own. All pets have free roam of my home inside and out. They truly will live as they do in their own home. No pet is kenneled! (unless deemed necessary by owner) Although I work in a Veterinarian Clinic, your pets will not ever be alone. Someone is always home with them, even when I personally can not be. You won’t be disappointed with the care they receive here. I also have a Facebook page you dedicated to the pets I board, and walk. I currently work part time at a Vet Clinic in Kingsport. I only work 20 hours a week. So most of my time is spent here. Even when I’m Not here someone always will be home. Hopefully I can soon have pet sitting as a full time gig and I’ll be home and with the pets ALL THE TIME!! Our house is in a very quiet neighborhood, we have 3 dogs a cat who has 3 legs we have an acre of land they can run around on, but it’s not fenced in yet. We have to walk one of ours out on a leash and can accommodate this with your pet as well.
About: Animals just relax around me. I’ve worked with many pet owners who are apprehensive to leave their pets with anyone due to the pet’s nervous temperaments, and other various quirks, and every single time the animals have surprised their owners by completely settling in with me. I prioritize play, love, and connecting with each individual pet I watch however they specifically need. I’ve looked after animals of all breeds, ages, & temperaments- from anxious & fussy older pets to energetic young puppies. I have experience administering medications to sick animals, hand feeding injured puppies, walking several pets at once, and managing dogs & cats that are a bit wild. I’ve even cared for lizards, turtles, fish, plants (haha), hamsters, birds, & rabbits. Whatever their needs, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, & at home while they’re with me. I am a potter who works from my home studio, and I make my own schedule- so I can generally be flexible and accommodate your pets needs. I love having pets in my home, and breaking away from my studio to get some fresh air and puppy/kitty love too! If I’m working on a big project, it’s nice to have to flexibility to come and go from my studio when possible, or have your pet there with me- but I have worked out all kinds of house sit/drop in/boarding arrangements according to the needs of clients and their pets. Let’s talk! I live in a peaceful home with a large fenced in backyard, and nice quiet streets to walk with your pet as needed. I will follow whatever routines you generally stick to and prefer when working with your animals. Give me all the details of your needs and preferences, boundaries and particulars- no matter what type of sit- so I can be sure you and your pet(s) feel a sense of trust, ease, and predictability.

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mark helped us on short notice and was able to provide us peace and reassurance that our babies were cared for! Mark kept our male and female German Shepherds, and they had an absolute blast. Mark sent us multiple photos and videos and kept us very up-to-date on what they were doing throughout their visit. He asked questions about their personalities and needs that showcased his care and attention to detail. With his knowledge and experience with German Shepherds, it really shined in the care he provided them! I would definitely recommend Mark, and especially recommend Mark to people with German Shepherds or working line dogs! We and our babies would love to use Mark again!”

“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”

“Lilly was so wonderful! She took such great care of Buddy. She sent updates with pictures and a video! ? We would definitely recommend her and will be asking for services for Buddy again.”

“Heather took the best care of our dog, Betty while we were on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and communicating very well the whole time, we trust our dog to have the best time with her on future vacations! :)”

“They are so great, they care for our boys like their own. They understand their different personalities and cater to them. We were running out of town and forgot a couple things but they were so accommodating. The boys always come back healthy and well care for. We are already booking our next trip out of town and will use them again :)”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”

“Very polite and punctual when picking up my fur baby. She communicated very well and sent pictures showing how much fun my baby was having!!! Will definitely be reaching out again when we need another sitter!!”

“Gracie watches Pebbles for 3 nights and 4 days. She sent updates during my trip.with pictures Gracie was very friendly and very thorough. My dog seems to enjoy the company of Grace's own pet's. I would have no hesitation using Grace's services or recommending her services to someone else.”

“Cassandra was amazing with our pup. She sent so many pictures, videos, and updates everyday. We could tell our sweet girl was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. We were so thankful knowing our girl was in good hands and will definitely use Cassandra in the future.”

“Jacades was wonderful to choose for Cody. He literally slept from the time he got back in the car. (That tells me he played all day) … That’s amazing! She was very tactful and communicative. I definitely will be using her for Cody’s future sitter!”


“Melissa was great! She had my two dogs for one night at her place. She communicated with me very well before and during the stay. Dogs are not used to being away from home, but she took very good care of them and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care! Weather was horrible that weekend so was grateful they were able to stay inside and go outside as needed. Would let them stay again!”

“You will be very impressed with Erica. My Huckleberry Finn adores her! She will send you pictures and updates the whole time she has your fur baby. Also she takes them for walks and play time”
