“Mackenzie did an awesome job! My two golden retrievers love her! She went above and beyond and taking care of them yesterday. She did exactly what we needed and more. She is very responsible, easy to work with and communicate with, and she took care of our dogs just like we do.”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family dogs of all breeds and sizes, and in 2017, I got a Goldendoodle of my own, who has truly deepened my understanding of the bond between dogs and their people. Over the years, I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I've helped with everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding routines and overnight care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments and energy levels, and I always aim to create a calm, happy environment where they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup loves a quiet cuddle or an active day, I’ll tailor my care to fit their unique personality and needs. I’m currently in graduate school pursuing my doctorate, which means I’m in class during the weekdays until around 4 PM. However, I’m available for evening drop-ins or walks during the week, and I have open availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care during the times I’m available. Your pet’s comfort and routine are important to me, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate their needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. At my home, I offer a clean, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs a secure space to play and relax. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets stay safe and comfortable. Inside, I maintain a calm and organized space, free of hazards, and I’m mindful of each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention I would want for my own. I follow instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and prioritize communication to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for.

“My puppy loves spending time with Lori. Lori has a sweet spirit and she is a special lady. She is wonderful with my 12 week old fur baby. They formed an instant bond. She met us ahead to be sure to get the details of the drop-in. Lori sent photos and videos of her progress with our puppy while we were away. She is very knowledgeable about training our rambunctious little guy to obey her commands. We are very impressed and can tell the difference she is making. We can't wait until we see her again. She is amazing!”


“morgan was wonderful and all our cats really liked her. she took great care of them and our home while we were away and was always communicative and kind. thanks morgan!”


“Amber has done a great job caring for Buddy, and he really likes her! He's a funny dog that won't hurt a flea, even though he looks mean from a distance. If you feed and pet him, he's your friend forever. I highly recommend Amber, and I'll be hiring her for all the time that I'm away from home.”


About: I'm currently a stay at home mom of an 8 year old girl. We have a dog of our own right now that is a Corgi/shepard mix named Harley. I've always had dogs and cats my entire life and love taking care of animals and going on walks with them. I am originally from NJ and just moved to Tn in April. I worked at an animal shelter in NJ where I took care of the dogs and some newborn kittens. I've don't have much experience with dogs with disabilities but that won't stop me from wanting to work with them. My dog Harley is a very friendly dog and loves to play so if your dog is friendly she'd love to meet them too!

“I can’t thank Shay enough for dropping by to keep my baby girl company while I was away. She has a clear genuine affection for animals. Highly recommend for anyone in need of a trustworthy and kind-hearted . Cheers to peace of mind!”


About: I have worked in a vet clinic and an animal shelter handling dogs as well as having my own and watching other peoples dogs too! I currently work as a vet tech at a clinic in Bristol so I do work longer shifts but would be able to do over night sitting or drop in visits close by or on weekends I can come to your home to watch pets I have watched dogs at peoples houses before so I know how to do that and not make a mess of other peoples home.

“Leah did a great job. She communicated well, sent us photos, and any necessary updates. It was a relief to find someone who could successfully medicate our elderly cat while we were away, and also care for our 3 other cats. She played with the cats, as well!”


“Sandra was very flexible as I called her on the spur of the moment. Baily took to her immediately like they had always known each other. Sandra was very professional and even helped me a couple of tricks. We will ALWAYS be a return client. If you are looking for someone that treats your babies like she treats her babies LOOK NO FURTHER.”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.


“Jenna was terrific and we will definitely book her for any future trips! Both of our dogs got along great with her right away! During the morning and evening Drop-In visits, one of our dogs needed medication and special food. Jenna was more than accommodating with giving the medication/food and provided updates on how the dogs were doing and pics of each visit. We really appreciated Jenna's flexibility and willingness to work with our schedule too. Jenna also left our house in great condition! Jenna - thank you for taking such great care of Coco and Bella so we didn't have to worry about them while we were out of town!”
