“Tatum was great! If we need someone to watch Leroy again in this area, we will certainly take him to Tatum again. We recommend her highly: great communication, flexibile, and our fur baby was safe and happy there.”
“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Gloria was wonderful! We needed boarding for our 8 year old pup, Barclay, with only a few days notice. Gloria took the time to get to know Barc and treated him like a member of her family. She provided daily pictures and updates; knowing he was safe and truly cared for made it so much easier to focus on travel.”
“Joan is AMAZING! She took care of our Cookie boy like her own. She is kind, loving, provided daily updates, and followed his schedule/routine like he was home. He came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Trina was amazing!! My pups had the best time and were well taken care of! Trina was very responsive and send updates throughout their stay! I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“We decided to not take our pups to Jeep Invasion at the last minute. Vickie and Charlie were great! Our pups were well taken care of! They came home tired! We will definitely be rebooking when we need another sitter!”
“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.”
“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”
“Our pups were obviously happy and spoiled while at Jessica's. Jessica sent pictures and updates as promised and I know the dogs enjoyed the fenced in backyard to romp a bit and the accommodating indoors for lounging. They came home happy and well cared for.”
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.
“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.”
“Gabrielle and her pack were so welcoming and warm with me and my dog when we met them. I felt really good about boarding him with her and she sent me pictures & updates everyday! 10/10 would use again and recommend! Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
“Can not praise Derek and Jenn enough, they took care of our very nervous little Jack ( this little chap had a sad start in life and never really knew that humans can be ok) and they let him see how great people can be. Had daily pictures and updates, I never worried once whilst on our holiday, he looked more relaxed every day. Thank you both, I know we will be happy to have Jack stay next time we are away.”

“Stephanie did an amazing job at taking care of my cat. She was a great communicator throughout the process and super sweet. She went above and beyond what I expected, I would highly recommend her!”
“Circumstances on our trip caused our return home to be delayed, Candice graciously stepped into the gap so we had nothing to worry about. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. Top notch care for the fur babies.”
“Annabelle was amazing. We had snow and ice and she still managed to get out to check on our boys. We will 100% plan to use her in the future and our boys give all positive reviews of her visits too!”
“Karen took great care of my cat, including mixing in medicine into his food and managing his somewhat complicated auto feeder. She even took the initiative to take out the trash to leave the house a little nicer upon my return. Very personable and a great communicator!”

For those fluffy balls of energy that need more stimulation, my dogs and cats LOVE to play and run to their hearts content!

“Lisa is very professional and nice. My puppy obviously had a good day with her, I also received various photos of Mica during the stay. Highly recommend to friends and pawrents!”
“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.”

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.

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
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Great place for my dog to spend the day, we will definitely utilize the services this family provides again. They treated us and our dog as family, very warm and welcoming atmosphere. And my dog loved it.”
“Victoria and Charles were fantastic. I was worried about my little Otis being anxious about being left as he has serious separation anxiety ( OK, we both do ! ) but as Victoria and I were chatting - Otis happily bouncing around exploring her and Charles' lovely lawn she teased him over for a pet and before I knew it he was in her arms - looking very happy I might add! I had a few things to transfer from my car to my sons - typically high stress time for me, trying to keep track of Otis - who won't get more than a step or two away, so I don't step on him. He just go cozier and cozier and sunk lower and lower into Victoria's arm. I guess I wasn't surprised to receive a photo by text, of him laying in her lap before it was even dark out. Pick up was easy - Victoria and Charles' garage door were open and it was lit like a beacon in the rainy night - just a quick report from Victoria ( he's fine ! ) as it was a long day and we were on our way. This is my first chance to reach out and its been three days - sorry guys! Do you need a sitter? Are Victoria and Charles available? Book them!! ( I'd even settle for just Charles : 0 : o : ) . Victoria and Charles are my first choice - looking forward to letting Otis trim their lawn again.”

“10/10 would recommend Lindsey. My family is going through a major medical emergency, and knowing Lindsey is taking care of my fur babies is a huge weight off my shoulders. I never have to worry, and get the cutest picture updates. For the longest time my husband and I were hesitant to get a pet sitter for our 5 animals, but Lindsey completely changed our opinion. From the first meet and greet our animals loved her. If you’re looking for someone living and reliable, hire Lindsey.”

“Tatum was great! If we need someone to watch Leroy again in this area, we will certainly take him to Tatum again. We recommend her highly: great communication, flexibile, and our fur baby was safe and happy there.”
“SaVannah graciously took care of my cat for 5 days last minute and sent daily photos/updates to keep my mind at ease while I was out of state. Goose came back to me acting normal and stress-free, and I’m so glad that he had a safe space to be while I had to be away! SaVannah is kind and I can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for, both her own and those of others. I’ll definitely be checking with her first for any future pet sitting needs!”
“Gloria was wonderful! We needed boarding for our 8 year old pup, Barclay, with only a few days notice. Gloria took the time to get to know Barc and treated him like a member of her family. She provided daily pictures and updates; knowing he was safe and truly cared for made it so much easier to focus on travel.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Trina was amazing!! My pups had the best time and were well taken care of! Trina was very responsive and send updates throughout their stay! I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“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.”
“I am very pleased with the care and attention given to our sweet boxer. They sent daily pictures and videos of walks, sleeping and play time. I also appreciated the flexibility to extend our dates when our flight was cancelled and rescheduled the following day. Very nice family and excellent care givers.”
“Our pups were obviously happy and spoiled while at Jessica's. Jessica sent pictures and updates as promised and I know the dogs enjoyed the fenced in backyard to romp a bit and the accommodating indoors for lounging. They came home happy and well cared for.”
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.
“Gabrielle and her pack were so welcoming and warm with me and my dog when we met them. I felt really good about boarding him with her and she sent me pictures & updates everyday! 10/10 would use again and recommend! Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Melissa (with Melissa's Pet & Home Care), a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. But more than that- I know how important it is that you have a reliable, caring sitter for your fur babies & home while you're away. I previously cared for my own 90-lb dog who had allergies, chronic ear infections, high anxiety, and later bone cancer, so I’m very familiar with special-needs care, medications, and helping pets feel safe and comforted through anything. I’m patient with anxious or sensitive pets, and I understand how much they miss their humans when you’re away. <3 I’m happy to take active pups on long runs, go for slow sniff walks, or just offer cuddles and company. I’m also comfortable handling dogs that pull or never quite figured out leash manners. I’m not a trainer, but I can keep them safe and in hand. :) Just tell me what your pet needs, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable, happy, and cared for. Your pet gets my full attention, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I do this full time, so I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure to communicate expectations clearly so each pet gets consistent attention and care. I never overbook myself, so your pet always gets plenty of one-on-one time. Safety and comfort come first. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their exact routines and respect their space. I double-check that doors and gates are secure, can clean up after pets as needed, and make sure each pet feels safe while you’re away. I'll send plenty of updates and photos so you always know how things are going. And if you need a plant watered, a fish or small animal cared for, or some quick household chores taken care of, please just let me know! We can discuss pricing based on what you need. :)
“Can not praise Derek and Jenn enough, they took care of our very nervous little Jack ( this little chap had a sad start in life and never really knew that humans can be ok) and they let him see how great people can be. Had daily pictures and updates, I never worried once whilst on our holiday, he looked more relaxed every day. Thank you both, I know we will be happy to have Jack stay next time we are away.”
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.
“Heather and her family were wonderful! Our two pitties can be a handful and Heather met all their challenges with understanding and great ideas to keep them safe and happy while we traveled. We would highly recommend Heather!!!”
