Bella was super communicative and helpful and made me feel super comfortable with leaving my dogs with her. She treated all 4 of my dogs like her own and spoke so sweetly to them, cleaned up after them, and asked questions and updated me when necessary. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if I need my puppies watched again, love her :)

About: I have two tiny shorthairs and two eighty five pound labradoodles in my life, so I've got range. To quote a very wise man, "No job is too big; no pup is too small!" I have an extremely flexible schedule. I can make almost anything work. I work most nights from 6:30ish to around 10:00 or 11:00. It would be no problem at all to achieve your needs. I can do whatever is needed to make sure your babies feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I play with them to make sure they get exercise and socialization. I make sure their personal spaces are clean (litter boxes, beds, kennels, etc.). I make sure they don't have any food insecurities, and I make sure they know that someone is there for them when their usual human is gone.

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs of various breeds, cats, and even exotic pets like reptiles and birds. My skills include administering both oral and injectable medications, caring for senior pets with mobility challenges, and providing engaging activities to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m also on the app “Wag” if you want a link to see my reviews, ensuring your furry friend is in safe hands. I believe in treating every pet like family, offering personalized care tailored to their needs while keeping owners updated for complete peace of mind. I work remote, so I will have plenty of time to pay attention to your pet, let them outside in a timely manner, take them on walks, and of course cuddle bug time (: When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine to ensure they feel relaxed and secure. At my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with a safe, enclosed space where pets can roam and play. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, food, and regular bathroom breaks. For cats, I make sure their litter boxes are clean and accessible, while dogs receive regular exercise and attention, including walks or playtime. I also offer special care for pets with medical needs, such as administering medications as required. In a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I make sure to respect the home environment by keeping everything tidy and secure, and I send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. Whether in my home or theirs, I’m committed to creating a loving, safe, and stress-free experience for the pets I care for.

She’s respectful, on time, and always communicates with me which I appreciate so much! Plus I love seeing all the photos she uploads of the animals while we’re gone :) couldn’t recommend her enough!

Meghan has always treated my sweet Lucy like she was her own. I especially like how she leaves me a note telling me how Lucy was and who all she met on their walks. It’s obvious how much she loves animals.

Haley is our go-to pet sitter, and she always does an amazing job! This time was no exception she came by to check on our cat, and as always, she was kind, professional, and communicative. She has checked in on our kitty once before now, and we trust her completely to take great care of our fur baby. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!

Jemma did a great job making sure my pup got human interaction, bathroom break, and food and water. She was communicative, left me pictures, and responded to any questions I had. I would recommend her to take care of your pup.

Kurstin is great, she leaves wonderful details and pics with each visit. I get the sense that she genuinely cares about the pets she visits, that is very comforting to know. You'll be hard pressed to find a sitter that is better than her.

About: Hi! My name is Alandra and I have grown up with animals my whole life. I also have 3 dogs of my own who I love very much. I have previously worked at a boarding facility caring for animals and a vet! Schedule: As of right now, I have a flexible schedule allowing me to care for your pup whenever you may need me to do so! I have a fenced in yard to make sure your baby won’t run away. And many beds and crates for your dog to lay in/on if they’d like. I do offer house sitting however I won’t be able to stay 24/7 or nights as I have my own dogs to care for unless they are allowed to come too. But I will come check in on them 3-4 times for about 30ish minutes each time everyday for potty breaks and to feed/water them.

Alicia was wonderful in dropping in on our cats while we were gone on vacation. She has good communication and made sure that both cats were doing well in our absence, even taking the time to play with our attention seeking cat. Would recommend!

About: Hello my name is Asheley,yes with an extra "e" . I absolutely adore animals of all kinds but my favourite are dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs,cats,birds,various small caged animals and horses. I have learned to work with them all. I have 2 cats and a fish at home with me now. If you trust me in the care of your pets i promise you will not be disappointed. I will treat them like my very own. I can do home stays,check ins,walks and they can even stay with me at my home! I have my own transportation and a fulltime job as well but its a flexible enough job to make sure your furbabies are checked up on! I will give treats to them as often as you like, whichever kind they prefer and i can send you pics of us taking walks or just relaxing on the couch. I am a 34 year old female by the way if that matters to anyone trying to choose. Thank you and have a great day! I work fulltime but i always make time for the fur babies. Weekends are usually free for me and i do have a day off during the week I will always ask the customers wishes about taking their animals outside or not. I do not have a fenced in yard but i do have extra leashes and harnesses as well as friendly cats

About: I know leaving your fur babies can be scary for both you and for them, believe me..I've been there. I'll do everything possible to make your time away as painless as possible for your family and to help keep your mind at ease by keeping in touch and keeping you updated as much as you like. A little about me: Well, I am an animal lover for sure. I have one quirky poodle named "Fro". He's my sidekick. I am patient and loving and Fro is pretty friendly. I have had either a dog or cat, or both, my entire life and since old enough have provided the primary care for our animals. I like people and children, of course, but I am partial to animals and fiercely protective of them. If you don't like animals, I'm actually a little leery about you! ❤️ I am very flexible and open to your requests and routines. I am home full-time, so again I'm very flexible to the needs of your pets! ***I have recently changed my profile not to host at my home at this time and only offer house sitting and drop-ins, but am still amenable to working out something to meet your needs!*** Other than traveling a few times a year or overlapping sitting jobs, I am generally always available for both daily drop ins and housesitting. I am, for the most part, available for last minute jobs. Your dog’s comfort, their safety and needs, as well as your level of comfort, with me coming into and/or staying in your home are of the utmost importance to me. Whether it be drop ins or over nights, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible and will go above and beyond to make that happen. I hope my reviews on my stays on this site provide with some comfort as well as the knowledge that I have several clients that travel often and have me stay in their home multiple times each year and would be more than happy to provide a reference on my behalf. I no longer work full-time so I am available around the clock for pet care needs. Such availability allows me to meet the needs of most requests, even those that may not be a conventional schedule or situation. As stated, I no longer offer services inside my home for boarding or doggy day care. Please still feel free to reach out if you would to discuss potential other options.

About: I understand how important it is to find the best pet sitter; someone who will love your pets like their own and make sure they are safe and well taken care of. I would love the opportunity to be that sitter for you! I have been pet sitting for 20 years. I’ve volunteered with multiple dog rescues and have rescues of my own. Currently, we have a senior pup, Princess, a senior cat, Winnie, a little hedgehog, Mr Nibbles, and tons of fish. I am a mom to an 8 year old daughter, who has shared the same love for animals of all kinds since she was little. I am experienced in working with animals of all breeds and ages; specializing in dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, horses and more. I am able to provide daily walks / hikes, administer medications and provide personalized care based on your pet’s specific needs. Whatever your sweet pets may need, I am happy to accommodate that and can assure you that they will be very well taken care of, safe and loved while you are away! References and letters of recommendation available upon request. My job is providing the best childcare and pet care. My schedule is often flexible and allows me plenty of time to provide excellent care for all clients. We live in a safe home and neighborhood in TN. Our fur babies get along with everyone and our family is extremely experienced in pet care.

About: I have been snuggling up with and looking after my friends’ pets since 2018 and have yet to meet a whisker-faced cutie I haven’t fallen in love with.I've been trusted for walks, administering medicine, daycare pickups, making sure food and water bowls are full and litter boxes are clean. I love to play, snuggle up, and send fun update pictures or videos. I’m stage and film actress so my schedule stays super flexible when I’m not in rehearsals and I would love to fill my free days providing care and getting some kitty or doggy love. Because I have a career dependent on gigs and rehearsal times. My days are typically wide open. Unless I am required for a daytime rehearsal, most weekdays I can be available anywhere ranging from 6am-5pm (Weekends vary from time to time.) I ensure trust by establishing very clear lines of communication and asking lots of questions. I always want to be doubly sure of what I am being asked. I send text updates to let my clients know their pets are safe and secure or whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. Typically a key is left for me to easily access the owners home which allows me to keep it in a safe space without taking it with me and losing it. Sometimes when I do pick-ups and drop offs from daycare I make sure doors in the home are closed so dogs don't run through rooms they aren't supposed to be in. I make sure food and water bowls are cleaned and there are no potentially dangerous objects around by tidying up some if necessary.

About: Hi! My name is Gabby and pets have been a huge part of my life since I was little. I started dog and cat sitting in high school. From overnight visits, to quick potty breaks, or little drop in’s. I always tried to help wherever I could. Now I am trying to expand by helping all the pups and cats I can! I’m currently between jobs, so my availability is super open at the moment. Any changes in my availability will be communicated promptly to maintain full transparency and set up a change of plans. We have four pups of our own, all social and sweet. We have a big open yard for our pups to run around and explore. They are fed twice a day, water bowl is consistently refilled, and they are spoiled rotten with attention and loves.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 9. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their cat while away for work. Friends have called on me to feed, walk and care for their dog on weekends. And I have worked professionally with dogs, cats and goats since 2017, having also been entrusted with bathing them and giving necessary medication. I'm currently working full time which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties in the evenings or weekends. I am free most weekdays after 6:30pm and am flexible on weekends. I care for my pets by having adequate food and water always available. I do crate dogs if needed, but follow the lead of the owner. I try to keep a clean space and give lots of love to all pets involved.

I’m really hoping my other review went through for Abby as well, because this is the second time I used her. I rebooked because she was just so great and went absolutely above and beyond! My cat loves her!! He normally takes a minute to warm up, yet with her, he was curled up on her lap within 2 days! She is so good! Will definitely be using her every time I need someone. Thankful that I found her and chose her for the original stay! Thanks Abby!!

I can’t say enough good things about Meghan. We got to meet her for a face to face walk through before our trip and we both were instantly comfortable with her. We told her the cats were uncomfortable with new people and not to be surprised if they didn’t come out much, but from her very first visit, she sent us tons of pictures of them all swarming around her for pets. I was shocked how quickly they accepted her and welcomed her into the house. Communication was excellent at each visit and she went above and beyond not just to do what we asked but to actually take the time to love on each of the cats and even play with them with some of their favorite cat toys and give them treats. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely reach out to her again for all our future trips out of town. She was a perfect fit and when we got home, the house was in perfect order and our babies were all super happy! Meghan is definitely a 5 star sitter. You and your babies will love her!
