“Shawna, does an excellent job with my two little girls. Today is one of their birthdays. She celebrated her birthday with her rounded by her wonderful family. It meant everything to me. I’ve been in the hospital and the fact that Shawna steps up to the plate for every special need, just proves to me that they’re in the right place and I will never take them anywhere else. Thank you, Shawna, for all you do.”
“I have boarded my dog with Kristy twice now, and it’s been a great experience both times! My biggest issue with conventional boarding facilities was that no one seemed to be able to give Rocky his medications correctly, but Kristy has been on top of it. She communicates well, sends pictures, and updates frequently. Rocky is an anxious dog and can be very particular about his space, but Kristy didn’t have any issues with this and knows dog behavior well. As long as she’s available I’ll book in the future!”
“Our first time ever using Rover and Krystal made this process so easy and was an absolute life saver after last minute needing someone to keep our doggy! She kept us updated on Mav everyday… sent pictures AND videos!! Maverick was very nervous being in a new environment and scared of the bad thunderstorms but Krystal definitely did it all to keep his mind occupied and let him know he was safe… that made us feel so good! Thank you for caring our pup❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“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!”
“Thoroughly pleased with Lauryn's time with Jake. She kept me abreast the entire time she had him and event sent photos for visual aid. Jake really liked Kadabra and I will definitely be back in touch whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you again for your time and assistance.”
“Cassie and her family are so great with Grainger. They treat him as one of their own. He’s always excited to go to their home. So glad we found them for when we go away.”
“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!”
“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Savannah and Shyly were very responsive and friendly! They took great care of our pup and were great about sending daily pictures! Would definitely use them again and recommend to!”
“Kathy is truly amazing! My hound dog is not like other dogs and needs a lot of reassurance, love and space to feel space! Kathy provides just that environment. She responded to me promptly each time I check in on keepsake and made sure he was happy and well cared for! I can’t thank her or recommend her enough!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“Had a great experience with Erin with my pup. She kept me informed of how my pup was doing throughout his stay with pictures and texts. He was super well cared for and have no problems using Erin again in the future.”
“We had a negative experience boarding our fur baby at a facility, but our Molly had a GREAT experience with Daniella! We had a meet and greet a few days beforehand and when we came to drop her off for the week, Molly could not wait to get out of the car. She was excited to be there—which made it so much easier to leave her. She loved playing with other doggy friends and I know she loved the attention from Danni’s boys as well (we have 5, so she is used to a lot of kids being around). We have not left her a lot, so I was a little anxious, but Danni sent us plenty of pics and videos to let us know she was doing well. We will DEFINITELY call her again when we need to leave our Molly!”
About: I have been a dog sitter/cat sitter, off and on for 20 years. I love animals! I treat and love them as if they were my own. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have plenty of yard around my home. I prefer smaller dogs, but I am flexible. Must be good with kids! I have a 14 year old who loves animals and can't wait to give them attention they need. I will be happy to come get your dog or meet you prior to watching your dog. I have a full-time job. I leave the house around 8, and I'm home most days by 4:00. My husband will be here to help out as needed. I will walk them, play and care for them as they are my own. I own a large crate so if you are crate training I can be consistent and provide that service.

“Caitlin is absolutely wonderful. I can not say enough good things about her and her services. So easy to work with, polite and punctual, a true blessing to our 2 month old Dalmatian. She gives him all the cuddles and attention he could ever want, and sends the best pictures of our little boy. I cant thank you enough Caitlin, you are a true blessing to our family!”
“Vanessa was an amazing cat sitter! She was very communicative throughout our trip and followed all of our instructions perfectly, even on the fly. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties — thank you!”
About: I’ve had a dog and cat for the past 5 years and love them!! I love running errands & being there for you and your pets would be my pleasure! I teach Monday and Friday and serve a few weekends. I can do evening runs, and the weekends are pretty flexible for me to walk. I have the softest spot for any animal! I’ve had birds, rabbits, hamsters, 2 dogs, a cat. I wish I could have more but my corgi is antisocial.
“Nyla was an amazing Rover! She was able to work with us last minute and was very flexible. She was also amazing with our difficult dog! Can't wait to book with her in the future.”
“She was amazing—all the way around from taking care of my fur baby to customer service to communicating. She great. I’ll definitely use her again. Thanks again so much Nancy.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I got my first dog at age 8! I’ve cared for my own as well as family and friends. I think of them as true family members. I have experience giving dogs injections/medications. I’ll also be available to play, feed, walk, take outside, and of course give all the treaties :) I’m an RN! I spend most of my off time with my dogs or other dogs <3 my husband also is home most days while in school and helps me with the dogs while I’m away. We’re a team! I have a fenced in backyard. It is rather small but allows our little corgi to freely roam off the leash. We have a little patio back there and often when it’s warm will sit outside and play with the dog. We allow our dog to be out and about in the home provided she is clean. She sleeps with us in the bed. We allow other dogs to stay out in the home to sleep if that is preferred and they are housetrained. If not, we do have a crate on hand we can use if away/sleeping. We have a couple neighborhoods nearby we do walk in.
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!
“Izzy did a great job watching my cat while I was away. She kept him entertained, made sure he was taken care of, and paid attention to all his needs. It was a relief knowing he was in good hands the whole time. Thank you Izzy!”
“She stepped in for us last minute and was incredible! Our dogs were so well taken care of, and she kept us updated the whole time which meant a lot. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but she made it completely stress-free. We’re so thankful she was able to help on short notice and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I've worked at an animal hospital for 5 years and I have always had pets of my own. I have worked with newborn animals all the way to senior animals. I need a days notice at the very least but I'm pretty available all week. If I'm needed after 1:30pm my daughter would most likely be with me though. I have a fenced in yard so currently my dogs free roam the yard when they are not inside but I also know how to leash walk dogs as well
“I can’t thank Claire enough for the amazing care she gave my three cats over the past 8 weeks! From the very first visit, it was clear how much she truly love animals. Each of my cats has their own personality, and Claire took the time to connect with all of them — even my shy one came out for cuddles every visit! Her updates and photos were such a comfort while I was away. I could tell the cats were happy, well-fed, and totally spoiled with attention. The litter boxes were completely changed many times and everything done exactly as I asked. It’s not easy to find someone you can completely trust with your pets, but Claire is that person. I came home to three relaxed, happy kitties — the best sign of all. I’m so grateful for the care and love she put into every visit and will absolutely book again. Highly recommend! 🐾💜🐾”
About: I am considering specializing in feline medicine and I am finishing my veterinary student degree, so you can trust me. I also have the most spoiled Carribean cat named Mooshak that I have trained. He is 7 years old and converted me from the dog to the cat side.
“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!”

“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!”
“Shawna is awesome with our big gsd Patsy, and Patsy loves going to Shawna’s to play. Shawna has a good set up at her house for the dogs and I couldn’t be happier with the level of care Shawna gives to Patsy.”
“Jenny was absolutely WONDERFUL with our 2 frenchies! I was nervous about leaving them with someone I didn't know but Jenny took the time to send me pictures, videos, and messages so I knew they were ok. My dogs LOVED her and were sad to leave her house. I highly recommend Jenny and will definitely use her again!!”
About: I’m a natural dog lover with a lifelong connection to animals. I’ve had four Great Danes as part of my family, so I’m very comfortable caring for large breeds and understanding their unique personalities. Spending time outdoors with dogs has always come naturally to me, and I have a strong nurturing instinct that makes caring for animals feel effortless and rewarding. I am very free this summer for June and July. My schedule is very flexible as I am a teacher and I'm not working right now. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for pets in my home. I live in a large house with plenty of space and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play, relax, and explore safely. I enjoy daily walks and spending time outdoors, and there’s no better way to enjoy that time than with a pet by my side. I’m attentive, nurturing, and committed to making sure every pet feels loved, secure, and part of the family while they’re with me.
“Tracy was great! With a pretty last minute request, she took great care of my older dog, provided pictures during the day, and was super responsive in communication. I'd recommend Tracy to anyone and will definitely use her again if we're in the area.”
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.
“Again another perfect stay. My girl runs right in the house and grabs a toy. I know she I always loved and well taken care of. I am so grateful for this family. Thanks guys!”
“Emily was able to help us out a few times when we moved to town and we didn’t want to leave our pup alone in a new house. She took him on several walks and even to the dog park, both which Farley loves to do. We really appreciate her taking him into her home and taking such good care of him.”
“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!”
About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for over 30 years. I would love the opportunity to love on your fur baby. I love all animals. But dogs have a special place in my heart. I had my backyard fenced in 2024 for my grandpuppies when they visit. It is perfect for hosting other fur babies too. Since I am retired, I am home most of the time. I have 1 dog, Buster Brown. My daughter & SIL adopted him in 2023. He is a rescue and turned 3 on March 10, 2026. He came to live with me in Feb of this year. He's the sweetest boy and loves to play with all dogs. I will love your furbaby as I would my own & Buster Brown loves having friends stay over. I only host for one family at a time. If you have 2 dogs that's not a problem.
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.
“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.”
About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs.

Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.

About: I run a horse farm so I am very used to medicating, excercising, and caring for animals. My hours are very flexible so I can provide many drop in visits and house sitting nights. I have owned and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. I love walking in the park, taking dogs to dinner, and ensuring that all of the dogs and cats I care for are healthy and happy. I am self employed so it is pretty easy to plan my dog sitting schedule to work with my work schedule. I’m around animals so often I know that my schedule is truly dictated by their schedule. I have a fenced yard that is 4 board fencing with no climb on the inside so should work for all sizes of dogs. My dog is extremely friendly either way all dogs as well.
“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”

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.

“Vanessa is great! She listened to our instructions for our dog, and provided updates and took lots of photos on the walk. We would love to have her walk our dog again.”
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. All of my pet owning friends come to me for medical and training advice. I am also always the first person they come to when they need someone to take care of their beloved pets. 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'm a veterinarian out due to an injury. Missing the interactions with fur babies! I'm slowly getting back to work but until I'm full time again I'd like to help people out by caring for their beloved pets! I will treat them as my own and communicate with the owners as often as they want! No animal is off limits! They will be in great hands. I'm home most of the time aside from occasional doctors appointments and occasionally work shifts (currently very part time) I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself. Other than working with animals as a veterinarian, my own pets are a full time job. They bring me such joy and entertainment. Even as an adult, if I pass someone with a pet I will always stop to ask to pet it. I'm extremely detail oriented. I'm always observing behavior and their regular routine. If something seems off I will address it and communicate it immediately. My love for animals is my life's work.
About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.
About: I have not only had dogs of my own, I also have 10 years experience in dog sitting. I am happy to take them on up to four walks a day and to the dog park if that is your preference. I will make sure to enforce any train/rules you want me to follow. I’m a part time teacher so the longest I am gone most days is 4 hour increments. I am available for boarding, walks, and play time all week! I am a part time teacher so I work from 8-12 on weekdays, leaving me plenty of time to offer your pet care and attention. I will always stick to the training, rules, and routines you have set up for your animals. I have plenty of time for animals that may require more attention, and no animals of my own in the home.
About: I’ve grown up having dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, Guinea Pigs, and birds. As I got older I was fortunate enough to move to the country where I also got to have horses, chickens, and goats. We even had a pet pig! I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets my whole life because they see the passion I have for animals. My dogs have all lived long healthy lives because of the love and care I provide. We currently have two Goldendoodles, who are littermate sisters. We obtained our girls after we lost all 3 of our senior dogs within a year. Our hearts were broken and we knew our home needed dogs running around. We got them at 13 weeks old and had them trained to go out in less than a week. By the next week they knew to ring the bells to go out. We had them crate trained after 3 nights and the only time there was an accident in the crate was when they had an upset stomach. We only used the crates for when we were going to be out and at night. This kept them safe from home hazards. They both loved their crates as it was their safe space. They have both outgrown their crates and sleep in the room with us. They are 2 years old and completely spoiled! If you select me to care for your baby, he/she will get all the love and cuddles the can handle. I am retired but I still have so much energy and what better way to spend my time than playing with animals. I’m available 7 days a week to care for your pets. Currently I am not keeping fur babies in my home due to lack of fencing. Once we fence in our yard I will offer in home care.
About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.
About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember. These loving, sweet members of our families deserve only the best care. I have been pet sitting and walking for a few years off and on. I also volunteer at Young Williams Animal Shelter so I interact with all kinds of different sweet animals often. I have 1 cat and 1 dog right now, both are my babies that I love dearly. I also am working through the process of getting my dog training certification so I can further my training and education on these sweet animals! I hope you will consider me to be your pet sitter and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a college student so I do have classes, but I have no classes Tuesday and Thursdays and I have lots of free time during the day! I love animals so I thought this would be a fantastic way to spend my time on the side! Your pets safety is the upmost priority when considering pet sitting. I only do in home sitting because I want to ensure it is the care is to your standards. I also do have means of travel if dog parks were an interest, and I have a seat attachment for all sized dogs to keep them from moving all around the car!
About: Hi, I’m Bella! I’m 23 years old and recently graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Now that I’m living in Knoxville full-time, I’m excited to spend more time doing something I truly love, caring for animals. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have a 10-year-old Lab/Blue Heeler mix named Ava and a 4-year-old cat named Pingly, and they both mean the world to me. I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feedings, playtime, medication administration, drop-in visits, or overnight care, whatever your pet needs to feel happy and comfortable. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing the best possible care for every animal I meet. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet(s)! I’m also flexible with pricing when needed, so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and I have a surplus of free time! I am able to stay overnight or do drop in’s whatever you need I can do it! I can do anything you need from me to take care of your pets! I will make sure your fur babies are happy and safe while under my care!
About: I have experience with all different types of pets and have paid experience the past six years. I will make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels happy and loved while you’re away. During sits my wife tends to join me. She’s also very experienced with animals and has farm and exotic animal experience. If this is something you are not comfortable with, I am happy to adjust this. I am taking some time to start my own business with my wife. So there’s plenty of time and attention to go around. Most of my work can be scheduled around Rover. If I am housesitting however I may have to leave for a few hours at a time but usually no longer than 3 or 4 so that your pet gets the maximum amount of attention possible. Safety is always a top priority and your pups will always be kept on the same type of schedule they have when they are with you to ensure they aren’t thrown off their routine when you return.
About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers and have lived with and cared for 1 to 3 dogs my entire life! I have cared for dogs of varying breeds ranging from puppies and small dogs all the way to a 150+ pound Great Dane. I have two pups: an extremely friendly almost 3 year old re-homed golden doodle and a rambunctious 10 month old mixed breed rescue. I have lived with and/or cared for a Great Dane, husky/malamute, boxer, pitbull mixes, chow chow mix, among many others. I’ve dealt with resource guarding, have experience with senior care, and am excellent with basic command training. I would love to meet your pups and help make their lives even more enriching! I am currently doing freelance work from home as well as working at a restaurant. My schedule varies a bit week to week, but I usually have plenty of time for drop in visits and walks! I am happy to come to your home and follow whatever routine works for your furry friend. I can take dogs on walks in nearby parks or drive them somewhere if they’re comfortable in cars!
About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs. My journey in pet care began as a passion for animals and over the years it has involved into a deep commitment of providing top-notch care and companionship to pets of all kinds. Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.
About: I’ve always had an empathetic passion for animals! From age 12, I have been volunteering in shelters and working in the animal field since age 18 (aside from pet sitting in my high school years). I have worked at a boarding facility, vet, and holistic pet food store. Now, I work at an animal shelter on the behavior team. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperments. I am Fear Free Shelter Certified, hold a dog training certification, and am working toward more certifications in the dog behavior field. I also have experience with small mammals and cats! I can be available for drop ins or walks: - almost any time on Tuesday and Wednesday - limited times on Thursday through Monday I am available for meet and greets after work (off around 5 or 6) during the week or during the weekends. My personal dogs are my entire life and I bring that same devotion to the pets of others. I take a respectful, ethical approach in my interactions with dogs from pet sitting to training techniques.
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.

“I have boarded my dog with Kristy twice now, and it’s been a great experience both times! My biggest issue with conventional boarding facilities was that no one seemed to be able to give Rocky his medications correctly, but Kristy has been on top of it. She communicates well, sends pictures, and updates frequently. Rocky is an anxious dog and can be very particular about his space, but Kristy didn’t have any issues with this and knows dog behavior well. As long as she’s available I’ll book in the future!”
“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.”
“Thoroughly pleased with Lauryn's time with Jake. She kept me abreast the entire time she had him and event sent photos for visual aid. Jake really liked Kadabra and I will definitely be back in touch whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you again for your time and assistance.”
“Cassie and her family are so great with Grainger. They treat him as one of their own. He’s always excited to go to their home. So glad we found them for when we go away.”
“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!”
“I can't thanks enough to Ann. She was loving and caring. My doggy had a great time there. Ann sent me several photos a day to keep me posted. I would definitely contact her when I'm in town. Thank you!”
“Savannah and Shyly were very responsive and friendly! They took great care of our pup and were great about sending daily pictures! Would definitely use them again and recommend to!”
“Kasara did an amazing job with Mia. She got her meds and supplements. She also was hand fed because she was a little nervous do to the heavy storms. He kept her all snuggly as well. We will be back!”
“Had a great experience with Erin with my pup. She kept me informed of how my pup was doing throughout his stay with pictures and texts. He was super well cared for and have no problems using Erin again in the future.”
“We had a negative experience boarding our fur baby at a facility, but our Molly had a GREAT experience with Daniella! We had a meet and greet a few days beforehand and when we came to drop her off for the week, Molly could not wait to get out of the car. She was excited to be there—which made it so much easier to leave her. She loved playing with other doggy friends and I know she loved the attention from Danni’s boys as well (we have 5, so she is used to a lot of kids being around). We have not left her a lot, so I was a little anxious, but Danni sent us plenty of pics and videos to let us know she was doing well. We will DEFINITELY call her again when we need to leave our Molly!”
“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!”
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.
“Jenny is amazing!! Not only she took such a good care of Matilda, but she kept me posted about how she was doing by sending videos and pictures of Matilda having a blast. That allowed us to enjoy our vacations knowing Matilda was in great hands. When we picked her up I could see how confortable Matilda was at her house and Jenny gave her a shower and she was looking sparkling clean. Thank you for absolutely everything!!”
“Rachel was outstanding in caring for my pup on our two week vacation! She made us feel very comfortable and connected to our furbaby with her photos, videos, and communication. My dog loves to see her pups and to run with them in her big backyard. I count myself lucky to have found Rachel as a newcomer to Knoxville!”
“Somer is awesome! I was in a pinch, and she was able to watch my dog for 4 days with only a day notice! She gave me updates and sent photos! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Savannah had a good time with Joe, she got to go on walks, have her treats and just chill out on his couch with him. It didn't take her very long to roll over to get her tummy rubbed, either. Joe kept me updated with photos of her and I texted him with little things I forgot to mention. We will definitely be having Joe take care of her again!”
“Emily had been watching my 2 senior dogs. In 2025, one unexpectedly passed away. I now have a new, younger one and my 1 senior. This was her first time keeping my new one, as well as having a lot of typical cocker spaniel habits. I appreciate her willing to step up to the challenge of my rowdy cs and his quirky way of dealing with the rain.”
