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.
About: My earliest childhood memories involve dogs. Since I was little my parents always told people I loved dogs more than humans, and I don’t think that part of me ever left. I’d love to help out a dog parent and meet a precious pup in the meantime! I’m currently working full-time with a flexible schedule. I am able to use my lunch break to check on your babies if needed and I’m always off by 5 at the latest. I will give your baby all the attention and love they could want while keeping a vigilant eye and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.

“LEXI IS THE BEST!!!!!! Our fur babies love her and we do too! She is prompt, always sends the best updates, and super professional! I would recommend her to anyone!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Riley! This was my first time using this service and I was really nervous leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. Riley assured me that she would treat my dog like he was her own, and she did just that. In every picture she sent, he was happy and satisfied. She was very communicative, too. 100/10 recommend her!!!”

About: Taking care of animal has always been pumping in my blood. Every since I was a tiny kid, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds.

About: I have had pets( Cats and Dogs) since I was about 10 years old so I have basically always been learning to take care of animals. I have also been responsible for caring for my neighbors cats while they were on vacation. That job consisted of visiting their house daily to feed them and water them and also playing. I’m part-time and saving money up for college so I’m available a lot throughout the week to care for pet! I’m excited to meet all the pets! I take my own dog on walks multiple times a day to use the bathroom and to exercise, she is full of energy. My cats like to sleep a lot but when they’re not sleeping they’re chasing around a toy.
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.
