“Emily was great! She did everything we asked and our cat Tigress was well fed and taken care of while we were gone. Thank you!”

About: I have worked with animals for the past 19 years. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in animal science and have worked with many different species from young to old. My work experience ranges from general practice and emergency room veterinarian clinics, an animal shelter to the Knoxville zoo, and 7 years in animal agriculture. My love for all animals runs deep and through my experience I am able to administer medications, perform CPR, and just understand animal behavior all together. I personally have had two dachshunds of my own from young rescues to 17 year old seniors. I currently work remote and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any needs of an animal in my care. Daily walks are part of my routine regardless of the weather. I live in a home that has been converted into a duplex tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I have a balcony allowing for outside access for bird watching or just plain old barking. I have a large backyard but not fenced. Dog beds in every room. Every animal in my care is like family meaning no couch or bed is off limits. I often plan my daily outings to allow for my animals to come with me or spend limited time alone.

“Darian really went above and beyond. I was so stressed and worried because my dog can sometimes take a minute to warm up to new people. Overall a great experience and would recommend him to anyone!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and my dogs have all lived very long and healthy lives. I’ve adopted them and taken in strays, including one that was pregnant and then had 8 very healthy puppies which we cared for, weaned and found permanent homes for. Several of my dogs have lived very long senior lives (21!) and I can give medications and special diets. I’ve also transported many dogs, large and small, to the vet. I take my dogs to the dog parks on a regular basis and have taken them on long trips too. I am available to dog walk and also watch them in fenced-in yards for potty breaks and play. I produced several “Pet Care" series for HGTV, DIY Network and TNN, including dog care segments with Dr. Craig Prior, owner of Murphy Road Animal Hospital and a very popular and well-known Nashville veterinarian, who was also my personal vet for many years. I’m retired so I’m available all days and times. And I love taking photos and videos of pets and would be able to share updates for clients. I am currently retired and am available all days and times. I do volunteering on a regular basis but can adjust that schedule as needed. I also do freelance Marketing and Development including grant writing for nonprofits, on my own time schedule. I have a fenced-in back hyard for my own dogs but also take them on walks and to the dog park. So I would be able to walk dogs as needed. I also know about safety in a home, including keeping food, liquids, cleaners and materials away from pets. My own Beagle can get ninto things easily so I always put things up. My dogs do not use crates but I know how to crate dogs too.

“Nikki is AWESOME. I rebooked her to care for my three pups given the outstanding first experience with her. She is very attentive to details, and extremely caring and diligent. She kept me updated with comments and pics of my pups throughout the time caring for them. My dogs can get separation anxiety and she makes the adjustment very smooth for them. I even think they love her more than they love me 🤣 I'll 100% contact her for my next vacations and I know Tobi, Lunna and Coco would love to see her again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

“Ellen was great to work with! This was our first time having her watch our kitties and she was super communicative and friendly to our babies ☺️”

Ashley M.

“I can't recommend her enough! She was able to check on my dog with less than 12 hours' notice, which was such a lifesaver. She was responsive, reliable, and made the whole process completely stress-free. She took great care of my pup, kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I'm so grateful for her flexibility and kindness, and I would absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much!”

Sara F.

“Great communication, will willing to accommodate your schedule within reason, and definitely grateful for the short notice booking. 10 out of 10”

About: I have lived with and cared for pets since I was 5 years old. I grew up with 3 dogs and have had my own cat for 5 years now! I truly love animals and nothing brings me more joy than seeing that an animal is safe, loved, and getting the care that they need. Whether your pet is small or large, young or old, I can’t wait to make their day brighter and your life easier! I work from home part time and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can make most visits work, even with last minute notice! Late mornings to early evenings preferred, but I can be flexible. I will always be respectful of your things and leave your home just as I found it! I have experience with senior dogs and am comfortable administering medicine if need be.

“Gabreal was absolutely amazing. He watched our dog for almost a week and treated her with such love, kindness and respect. He sent us photos whenever he stopped by and gave us updates on how she was doing. He even dressed her up in her little Holiday sweater for pictures for Christmas for us. Extremely communicative and so helpful. HIGHLY recommend. We will be booking again in the future.”

Liz B.

“Ali is the best!!! We will absolutely have her watch our kitties again! We have a very shy and very anxious guy and she won him over, it was so great knowing he trusted her. She also kept our 7 week old kitten busy and entertained! She's so kind, reliable, and she gave such great updates and pictures. So thankful to have found her 💓”

Kelsey H.

“Isabel is a great communicator and has been super helpful with taking care of our Teddy the last several weeks. She is consistent and timely in her daily drop-in’s to let Teddy out to potty and play. She has been flexible when my schedule requires it, and has given me ample notice if something changes in her schedule. I highly recommend Isabel, and am so glad we have a recurring visits with her and Teddy!”

Kathleen S.

“Ashley was great looking after our dog while we were away. Everything was in great condition when we got back and Henry had been loved on and cared for just like we would have. Will be happy to use Ashley again!”

Ashleigh W.

“Dana is a thorough, caring and responsive sitter who genuinely loves animals! We felt so secure leaving our kitties in her care, and she also managed to capture some of the cutest photos of our cats ever taken. She took care of food, water, cleaned up the occasional mess and kept us posted on two of our kittens who’d recently been spayed and needed some extra attention so they wouldn’t mess with their stitches. We are absolutely making Dana our go to sitter from here on out, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to others looking for animal care.”

Brynn P.

“Mary took great care of my kitties! Easy to communicate with and took great pics! Will definitely rebook in the future!”

Alexa D.

“Thanks Beth, always very accommodating for Honey. I needed you in a pitch tonight. I was delayed on my flight back Nashville and Beth helped us out last minute!”

Heath J.

“We are repeat customers and always feel great leaving our senior cat in Amy’s care. She’s very reliable, goes above and beyond, and gives our boy the extra attention he needs with twice daily insulin shots.”
