Avery's Petsitting and Housesitting Services

My name is Avery and for the past 15+years, I have had the best job in the world: pet-sitter! I am a local pet-sitter who services the greater Knoxville area.
(15)

I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and birds, but love all animals! I have the capability to pet/house sit for extended periods, such as when your family goes on vacation, or I can do quick visits during the day if your fur babies need to be let out or given something to eat!

These four are so cute!😍
Dolly, Bleu, Dexter and Duncan have been so good this week! This past week can be so hard on pets with all of the fireworks!😖 I hope your all’s pets did okay with them!
Putting on some music or a movie, doling out some treats and cuddling on the couch definitely helped most of the pets I watched—and some weren’t even fazed!

*Disclaimer: Everyone in these pictures was promised a treat after sitting for said pictures.*🤣

It’s been super busy around here! I haven’t posted in a little while, but here are some of the pets I have been able to visit with lately!❤️🐾

So many sweet dogs and cats! I love how I am able to catch them smiling in pictures—usually after a nice walk or if the word “treat” has been mentioned!🤣

Charlie is all that and a bag of chips!🙌🏻He is so cute!🥰

Teaching dogs to shake since 1990 something.🤣👏🏻
Loudon is SO smart. Puppies are great at learning tricks and are like little sponges—they soak it all up!🧽
We worked on learning to shake today.
Here are some quick tips for teaching dogs (new or old) tricks!👇🏻

1. Puppies are very treat motivated, so reward them when/as they get their tricks down!
2. Speak calmly and in a slow voice. It also helps to use clear commands that are 1-2 words starting out!
3. Try working in 5-10 minute spurts. Puppies are constantly exploring and there are many stimulants that can distract them. When you see their interest waning, end on a high note with praise and a treat.
4. Repeat as necessary! Repetition helps puppies to learn!

Wait a-go, Loudon!!🐾👏🏻

Just a few cute faces I’ve seen lately! Featuring Boone and Max, Simone and Parks and Angel and Bear!🐾❤️
All these pets are so sweet and the perfect duos! It’s so funny to me how when I watch sets of two pets, they usually have such distinct and different personalities! All of these guys and girls are big cuddlers though and love their playtime too!🥰

02/03/2024

I’ve had so many good dog walks lately!🐾The weather has been so nice, especially after the Snowmeggadon we had!🤣
Featuring Daisy, Queenie, Joel and Donkey!

It has been a busy last couple of days!📈

Believe it or not, I have been booking up into December 2024!🤯

Spaces and time are limited, so I wanted to post a scheduling update here and encourage you—if you have any trips planned and need petcare, send me a message, so you can have petcare for while you are gone, but also because I miss your pets and would love to see them!❤️🐾

Thank you all so much for letting me watch your pets! If January has been any indication, 2024 is going to be busier than ever when it comes to petsitting!

Just some more cute pictures I’ve taken over the years of petsitting that make me smile☺️Featuring Joel, Bentley, Bambi and Max❤️

What are you all up to today? I have a slower day today with just a few pets! I have been trying to add more of these free days into my schedule, which is a must when you own your own business! I always feel rejuvenated after a few days away and August has been the month for travel!🤣👏🏻

I’ll have some free days coming up, so may do some more Q&As about petsitting in general, my petsitting guides and more!🐾💬

Hope everyone is staying cool—and dry!—in this hot and stormy weather we’ve had lately!🌧️

What are you all up to this weekend? I hope you get to spend some time with your pets!🐶❤️🐱

To walks downtown with Boone!🐾❤️

Boone now has a sweet sister, Max, but before that, when he lived close to downtown, we would go on walks all around Market Square, across the Gay Street bridge and to one of his favorite places: where he would pick out a toy!❤️🏙️ On this particular day, he picked out a unicorn!🤣🦄

I was scrolling through my memories today and found some of these pictures and they made me smile!😄

Boone—and Max!—are both rescues and have such a sweet story.❤️📚They get along so well and are such good dogs!

I found some more cute pictures of pets smiling from the archives!😄All these pups are so sweet.❤️

The first picture though is actually from when I was on a vacation in Palm Beach, FL a few years ago!🌴The owner of the we were staying at had this sweet dog.(kind of reminded me of the sheepdog from The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ 🤣) Even on my travels, pets find me!🐾

I wanted to stress in today’s post though how IMPORTANT it is to still take those vacations and trips as a fulltime petsitter and business owner. ✈️ I received news of a fellow petsitter’s death this morning and to say she was a pillar in our local community would be an understatement.😔

We never know if we are promised tomorrow, as harsh as that sounds. And it can be so easy to care for everyone else until our own tank hits empty. If there’s anything I want you to know, it is this: Work hard on loving those pets and clients you have, but please, please, please—don’t forget to love and care for yourself as well.❤️

I have a much needed vacation planned soon and can’t wait to spend some time with my husband. I might share some of that with you all here, even though it isn’t technically “petsitting content”, but I think it is important that I do so, as a reminder that we all need breaks within the petsitting community too.🐾

There’s nothing like capturing a pet’s smile🥰 Digging through the archives for some of my favorite pictures I’ve taken of pets smiling was fun!

I love petsitting.❤️As hard as it can be sometimes, especially as the pets I watch get older and pass on, it is such a rewarding experience to look after them and take care of them while they are here!🐾

Also, I’m seeing some new faces around here and wanted to say hello!👋🏻If you’re interested in the behind the scenes parts of being a petsitter—or want to be a petsitter yourself!—stay tuned! I have some petsitting guides releasing on September 1st!📖🎉

Simone and Parks are so good at sharing!😻They love playing with their mouse toy! I think it is so neat that I watch several sets of cats that are brothers! They may look very similar, but still have distinct personalities! All of the pets I watch that are litter mates or siblings have such an incredible bond and it’s very cool for me as a petsitter to watch!❤️ #AverysPetsittingandHousesittingServices #knoxvillepetsitter #knoxvillecatsitter #brothers #simoneandparks #knoxvilleinhomepetcare
