House Sitting in Bells Bend, Nashville, TN

About: I have petsit for family and friends since I was a middle schooler. I love animals, and am always happy to go on walks and play catch. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats and fish. I’m a fast learner, and open to other animals as well! I have my own online business, so my schedule can be moved around very easily for walks and playdates. I’m able to work from anywhere, so staying with animals during the day and overnight isn’t a problem, especially with a day or two’s notice. I’ve always grown up with two dogs in the house. I have experience with crate training, but don’t mind a pet who likes to share furniture either! I’m happy to enforce any rules an owner has for their animals. I’ve taken care of dogs who need to be cleaned off every time they come back inside, and am prepared to protect your house from dirty paws if needed!

About: Hi, I’m David — a lifelong pet lover. I’ve had animals in my family since I was five and have been the primary caretaker for pets for the past 17 years. I’ve worked locally at holistic pet stores, advising on nutrition, safety, and training. I’m experienced with clicker training, shaping behaviors, and positive reinforcement — always using safe and engaging methods. I’m reliable, communicative, and understand the deep trust and bond you share with your pets. I'm happy to send pictures of your pup on a walk & am not shy to ask questions about your pets habits and routines. I believe in care that balances fun, love, and respect. Whether it’s supporting senior dogs with mobility and diet needs or keeping up with high-energy pups, I know every pet deserves attention tailored to who they are & I can't wait to meet them! At home, I share life with Jack, my special old pup who requires lots of love and care, and Kenneth, a 7 yr old chihuahua that my wife and I have recently adopted. From daily walks to cuddle sessions, I focus on making every moment matter — keeping pets safe and happy, and giving you peace of mind. From Monday through Friday, I can reliably provide walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins as needed. I currently work remotely and with limited hours so your pets will be my priority! Weekends are also open for special requests. I believe a pet’s comfort comes from routine & reinforcement & celebration of positives. I follow their feeding, walking, and play schedules closely, keeping things consistent so they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

“Elyssa was incredible with our American Bulldog Gotti and our cat Mary Lou. She helped Gotti take his medicine, and sent us updates every day. We look forward to booking her again!”

“Erin was great with Cairo and Rose! She communicated great and they were well taken care of!”

Hayden K.

“We were pleased to have Jesse take care of Junebug again. She always leaves our house in great shape and we can trust her to keep Junebug safe and happy.”

Emily C.

“Tavin was excellent with our dogs! He followed all of our directions about medicine and their quirky little preferences, and he was so thoughtful about everything. He sent regular updates about them, and asked questions when something wasn’t clear, which was great. We didn’t have to worry while we were away, because Tavin had everything under control. I genuinely think the dogs are missing him now that we are back home - They became great buddies and we’d love to have him again!”

Anna W.

“Lia and Jacob were great. They are both professional, polite and have good communication!”

Jayson C.

“Breanna was Fantastic!!! We went on a one week vacation, and she sent us pictures daily of our small Chihuahua, and updates on not only how he was a joy to keep for us but how he was enjoying her being there. The photos that she sent really put us at ease because this was the first trip without him with us!!! I would proudly recommend her with a great review, and to my fellow fur owners?”

Stephanie B.

“Emily and her girls were great! It was my first time leaving my pup overnight, so I was a bit nervous, but Finch loved having them there, and communication and pictures were great and set my mind at ease! I’ve already rebooked, and I know Finch will be so excited for more play time!”

Kassie R.

“I will definitely be booking with Rebecca again! She communicated very well and sent a lot of photos. It was my first time leaving my new puppy and I felt very comfortable with Rebecca watching her.”

Hayden B.

“I wish there were more than 5 stars I could give for Megan! Our family went out of town for a week on vacation and she was more than willing to stay at our home and, not only take care of our dog for that timeframe, but also went above and beyond and took care such great care of our home! When we got back, it was in better shape than when we left! We will definitely be using her again in the future and will most certainly be referring her to friends and family!”

About: Staying in Nashville through the holidays mostly off work and fully available to help care for your pets! I’m currently booked 12/24-12/28 overnights but available for overnights before & after that and fully available for more drop-in visits through Dec into Jan! Happy to help keep your pets cozy, fed, and loved while you’re away. :) I’ve been an infant/toddler nanny for much of the last decade and a half, often caring for two or more at a time— I am extremely safety conscious and care about aligning with a pet parent’s preferences/needs just as much as I do when working with little humans. My best friend growing up was the family dog, and now I'm the proud human of a very good pup named Finn. While I adore dogs, I've cared for many kinds of animals in both paid and volunteer work settings. In the last few years, I have dog-trained professionally a bit (cooperatively developing and implementing a working dog training program/plan with an animal behavior specialist), volunteered in a full-accredited exotic animal sanctuary caring for large birds (Macaws, Cockatoos, and smaller), guinea pigs, mice, rats, turtles, and trained on care for larger "zoo"-type animals requiring even more careful practices (from ostriches to zebras to monkeys and lemurs), have trained my own dog on service tasks and traveled the country with him, have cared for rats and hamsters in my own home, and have house-sat and pet-sat for those with various animals including elderly cats requiring a complex and precise medication cocktail multiple times per day and even one I had to take to acupuncture-vet appointments (no joke). I've also been full-time nanny to small humans specializing in infants and toddlers for about a decade and a half, so I'm extremely safety-conscious and generally very responsible, with many references. I’m an infant and toddler nanny during the day, so I’m currently available before and after my 9-5ish work days as well as weekends. Open to overnight sits, I would just need to be gone during the work day. I often don’t work that job around holidays, in which case I’m available all day. I am available to travel for pet care and can transport animals to parks, appointments, etc. If socialization is preferred, I can also bring my sweet and well-socialized 9-year-old Maltese mix pup along to hang out/walk with us. He's very used to dog parks both at our apartment complex and all over Nashville, has lived in homes with other dogs, and enjoys the adventures and new friends :)

“Leviere was absolutely amazing!! She sent various updates throughout and the day and pictures to reassure us that our babies were good. We are definitely going to use her for all of our future trips. :)”

Brittany H.

“Grace is super sweet and did a great job with my dog! She kept in touch and sent pictures and updates! She took my pup on his daily walks and played ball with him in the yard, which he loves to do! Thank you for caring for Finn!”

Katie R.

“Destiny is a wonderful human. The dogs took to her right away and I knew they were in great hands while I was traveling.”

Tara S.

“Amanda made it easy to leave my pugs behind for a trip! They were in great hands, and I got regular updates, which I loved. i could tell in the pictures she sent that they were having a good time. She was also extremely respectful to our space, and we came home to a clean house! Above and beyond for sure. I'd definitely suggest Amanda as your sitter!”

Baylee C.

“Zach stayed at our home with our two large dogs and did a great job with everything. Great communicator. Strongly recommend!”

Roddy S.

“Sydney was great with our Corgi for house sitting! She sent updates and pictures during her stay! and our Corgi Waffle was right at home with her. Highly recommend and will be using again!!”

Joseph B.

“Alexis was fantastic. She stayed with our dogs for a few days. We got great updates. But most importantly, when a series of bad storms swept through our town, she was there to comfort the nervous puppies.”
