“My two fur babies are very happy and enjoyed their time with Mariah!! She was super prompt and gave them all the love and care they deserved!! Will return to Mariah again!!!”
“I cannot emphasize how amazing Wendy is. I trust her with my fur child 100%. If you need a great dog sitter/walker who is so kind and always available in a pinch, you need Wendy.”
“Jenn was prompt and confident handling our puppy. She performed everything we had discussed. We took a day trip to Nashville and she made it possible for us to not stress out our puppy being cared for. I would recommend her services to anyone. Thanks”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 10. In the past couple of years I have cared for my grandmothers rescue dog while she works. I have experience with reactive dogs and training puppies. I am a full time college students so my schedule is a bit tight but I still have time to walk or house sit your pet. I have unfenced back and front yard and a small fenced in area in my backyard. I have a pet friendly dog who is crate trained and well behaved. I have experience leash and crate training. I have a small crate and a large crate in my house.
“Brianna was amazing.. and always kept me informed. She dropped in on my 3 rambunctious cats and did extra duties like getting my mail and cleaning up where she didn't have to.. will definitely use her again if the need arises!”
“She is absolutely fantastic I highly recommend her. She took extra special care of my cat. He likes to be put on the sink and brushed with a warm flea comb and she even did that for him. I will use her again for sure. She even did FaceTime with him on her visits so I could talk to him.”
“Austin kept in contact with me im every visit with Coco. And took great pictures of her and of our birds. He swept the dog hair from the floor. He does a great job. We will definitely use his services again for Coco.”
About: I have two dogs and one cat of my own and I promise to treat them like one of my own! For dogs, I can walk them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them! For cats, I can also play with them and give them some love! I’m a rising junior at Tennessee Tech University studying at the nursing school there! Even though my major relates to humans, I’ve always been dedicated to taking care of animals if they needed it. I have a dog of my own that I’ve done plenty of research for in order to take proper care of him! I’ve also had two more dogs and seven cats of my own back in my hometown! Safety is my biggest priority. In my client’s home, I will utilize every safety resource that is offered: fences, leashes, crates, and more. I will always make sure your fur baby is taken care of!
About: I got my first puppy that was all my responsibility when I was 14. He’s now a sweet, cubby baby that’s spoiled more than I was as a kid. On top of raising him, I’ve been pet sitting and walking for friends and family since I was 13. Running and playing with animals has always been my favorite thing to do. My pup will get the zoomies and he counts on me to run around with him so of course I cant say no. My point is, your pet will be happy and safe as long as I’m around:). I work at busy bees preschool but my schedule changes often. Most days im scheduled for 12-530 but it can also be 1030-530 or 830-530(rarely happen though). Im off saturdays and sundays. My babies all have different schedules in our house. My youngest pup, Moose, is a big pit mix so he has a lot of energy. He goes for daily walks through our neighborhood, eats breakfast and dinner, and stay with me most of the day. My oldest bailey, a chihuahua, thinks my mom is his mom so he's a couch potato with my mom and her pup during the day. Last but not least my cat rue, aka rue-cifer, HATES my room door being closed whether she is in it or not lol. Before my childhood cat passed she would torment him all day and nap in her bed or in the living room chair. And at night they all sleep in my room. Moose in his bed on the floor, bailey sleep on my bed with his blanket and rue goes back n forth between me and bailey and moose’s bed.
“Leah & Autumn were wonderful! They took such good care of my cats while I was away. They kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and reports. They played with my kitties, loved them, and in general, took excellent care of my babies. In fact, they took such good care of them, my babies showed no signs of distress when I returned. It was nice having the peace of mind to enjoy my trip knowing I had these two lovely people caring for my beloved pets. Thank you so much Leah and Autumn!”
About: I am a full time pet sitter! I have worked in professional dog grooming salon settings for 7 years. One of which includes running my own salon. As well as 6 months mobile grooming in Florida! I have 2 years experience working in professional boarding facilities as well as doggy daycare. I dont remember there ever being a time where we didnt have a dog, or several, growing up. Each one leaving a special spot in my heart. I have over 14 years of experience with a vast variety of dogs. I starting my own dog walking company with 2 friends enlisted to help at the age of 10. I am able to provide pretty much any service, doing everything from house sitting to mobile grooming. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very sweet and love to play. Fable is my 5 yr old lab who is always bouncing with energy. Iroh is my 1 year old lab mix, the loud mouth in the crew . I can provide glowing professional as well as personal refrences, so give me a call for your pets needs :) I am currently working full time in petcare. Doing rover has become more than a side job and I freelance dog groom in my spare time. I have experience with anxious, agressive, and reactive dogs. I am able to administer medication including but not limited to oral medication and insulin injections. I am trained in pet first aid as well as cpr. I love to spoil my clients and try to build a bond with them.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve helped raise both a puppy and a kitten, gaining hands-on experience with everything from training to daily care. For the past year, I’ve been dog and house sitting, and I’m excited to continue building my experience while providing loving, reliable care for your pets! During the summertime, my availability differs with my work schedule; however, my mornings and nights offer plenty of free-time! I'm also currently a student at Tennessee Tech University, so my schedule will include school hours beginning in August, the start of our fall semester. I keep my cat indoors, as I feel this is the safest option for her. My dog is primarily an indoor dog, as we do not have fences; however, he is fairly well trained. *I do not provide any services in my own home, due to my pets and other personal factors!*
“Melanie was Great!! She contacted me back right away and was able to accommodate last minute changes in my schedule. She was exactly on time for each visit and the dogs loved her. Thanks Melanie for doing a fantastic job!”
