About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, always there was a dog or cat as part of the family. I have cared for pets for family and friends over the years. I would love to care for your fur baby. I promise to love and care if they were my own. I currently own a Boston Terrier, her name is Sadie Rose. She is my 2nd Boston, and she is my little love. My 1st Boston, Chakka died from cancer 6 months before I got Sadie. I have owned every dog from Labs, Rottweilers to now Boston Terriers, and a few mixed breeds in between. I love my little Sadie Rose and want her to be loved by anyone who cares for her. I would treat your pets the same. I am working 4 days a month at the hospital. I would have lots of time to care for your pet, as you need me. My Sadie has the run of the house and sleeps with me at night. I would take care of your pet, whatever you need for them. I’m available long walks, exercise and playtime. Also included or lots of belly rubs!

“Wendy was beyond amazing. She was super available last minute to help me with my plans, and even came by before so my reactive dog could meet her and I could show her things. She sent me great updates and photos about what they were doing, like a very cute one of my dog sniffing flowers! I could not recommend her more highly.”


About: I have taken care of many different breeds and age groups. I can groom ,feed , give meds if needed, walk , and play with them. I am a stay at home pet parent my babies are well loved they go on walks on a daily bases weather permitting they also get feed twice a day. One of my babies require meds three times a day due to arthritis. They also get treats after the humans finish eating dinner. My fur babies have free rein of the house they are allowed on the furniture and they sleep with us at night they also get car rides and maybe a visit to Lowes. and they are allowed outside whenever they would like to go.

About: I've taken care of multiple dogs as a kid and recently got into caring for cats. Every pet is special and unique and requires different responsibilities. I've been recommended to take care of friends' pets before and I thought about applying this idea differently in the form of pet sitting. I'm currently on summer break from university and I have plenty of time to take care of any pets within my loose schedule. I have plans for a part-time job but it won't take away mornings. I have a pet-friendly neighborhood and live near Tims Ford Lake. There are a few crosswalks and it's by the square so although there's traffic during the day, it's a relaxing place to take a walk or visit a pet.

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.

About: I've lived on a farm growing up and have experience with older dogs. I've only had two from puppyhood so not as much experience there but always willing to gain experience. I currently work a full time job but I'm available on evenings during the week and all day on weekends for any last minute trips. I can and will follow any directions given. I do not follow the carrot and stick approach, I prefer to be gentle but firm. You'll need to give me a limit on treats.

“Austin was a life saver for us and our new adopted pup. Austin is responsive, professional, and really good with our dog. He gives him treats and belly rubs after his walk, uploads pictures, and even offered to work with him on some commands we’ve been working with him on. Highly recommend Austin.”


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: First, my husband and I have the most fun with our (not so little) rescue pups: Milo and Diesel. We love doggies! I enjoy getting exercise with our younger dog, going on runs/ walks, and most importantly, snuggling. Dogs need love too. I work a couple part-time jobs, and I want to get back into the pet care field. I watched all kinds of animals for family and friends through college (dogs mostly but also chickens, cats, fish, goats, etc!) I’d love to help others out since I have more flexibility in my schedule coming into 2025. I am currently working part-time remotely so I have a lot of flexibility! I also work part time as a private tutor but I am self employed so my schedule is up to me! We won’t have pets stay in our home since we already have two large dogs. I am happy to do drop in visits and walks though!

About: Hi, I would love to watch your dog while you are away! I have always wanted a job working with animals...and I think this is a perfect fit for me. I will treat your pet like family, exactly like I do for my dog and cats! I have a ten year old lab mix named Max and three cats. Max is very friendly and loves other dogs. I have many years experience with different breeds of dogs, dogs with anxiety, and elderly pups. I have a fenced in yard that my dog enjoys, and I also take him for walks. I'm ready to give your dogs my full attention and love! ❤❤ I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pet! I'm available for boarding, dog walking, and drop in visits. My partner (Autumn) does work full time in retail so her schedule does fluctuate but she is available for dog walking and drop in visits before or after her shifts. She also helps out a lot when we have pups staying with us. She is also handles most of the scheduling. She is the more organized of the two of us 😅. If you have any questions about anything regarding your pets care just let us know. I have a fenced in yard and animals to keep your baby company. My partner is an animal lover also, so we will both give your pet lots of love. We also work slightly different schedules throughout the week, so your baby won’t be left alone or if they are it won’t be for long. We also have a separate room for the cats that is separated by a baby gate that we use to separate guests if we have to step out for any reason. That way everyone stays safe and supervised. We also try to send lots of pictures. When we go away I know how much we miss our babies so I always try to keep that in mind and send updates and pictures.

About: We like to call my house the mini zoo because since I was born there have never not been pets! I am a very enthusiastic and I will always match a dogs energy! I love being outside and have always loved animals. Taking care of our mini zoo has become a very normal part of my life. I am a very good multitasker so I tend to juggle many things! I will always treat the space and animal with love and kindness. Treating your pets the same way that I would treat my own. They are family after all!

About: In addition to growing up with dogs, I started pet sitting when I was 16; caring for dogs and cats of various age and sizes. Neighbors and friends quickly trusted me to care and play with their furry friends while they were away. My top priority is gaining the trust of the pet(s) and their parents so it’s a comfortable and fun experience for everyone! I work remote full time, so my schedule is somewhat flexible however I would best be able to check in prior to 8AM, around lunch time, or after 5 PM on weekdays. My weekend hours are completely flexible. I will follow the instructions provided and cater to any needs of the pet as requested, while respecting boundaries and the comfort level of both parties.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, and it’s something I truly love. From energetic puppies to wise senior pets, I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing them with the best care possible. In high school, I worked as a dedicated dog walker, gaining hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. Later, I had the opportunity to work as a vet tech assistant, where I learned valuable skills in pet health, behavior, and medical care. This experience gave me the ability to recognize signs of distress, administer basic pet care, and ensure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m also experienced in training puppies, reinforcing good behavior, and providing gentle support to senior pets who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply companionship, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them like family, and I look forward to creating a happy, stress-free experience for both of you! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so you can count on me to be there when you book! Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I love ensuring animals feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. From extra exercise to medication or just companionship, I always prioritize their well-being and treat them like family. If you schedule me, I will be there! I will not agree to any schedule if I do not 100% know I can accommodate those times. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care experience. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine—whether it’s feeding, exercise, medication, or special care needs. I ensure pets feel safe, respected, and well cared for while keeping their space clean and stress-free. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and personalized attention, so owners can feel confident their furry friends are in good hands


“She took my dog for a nice walk around and played with her, left everything how it should be, and got along great with my dog and let her get some energy out! I’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”


About: I have had dogs and cats and all kinds of other growing up and have loved taking care of them all and can't wait to take care of yours I am a college student so it fits into my routines quite easily as I am usually home most of the day already and have the free time I love animals of all kinds and cant wait to care for yours. I even have my own personal dog Birdie who I rescued last year and simply adore in every way

About: Growing up my family always had at least one dog. We had all different breeds, both large and small. So whatever breed your sweet pup is, I’m happy to watch them. Right now I’m working 8-4 and attending school three nights a week in Nashville. I have an hour lunch which allows me to go home everyday for potty breaks and play time at noon! My partner is also at the house most days after he gets home from work around 9am. Every dog we’ve watched absolutely adores him! I live in a duplex that has a decent sized front and side yard - so we can play fetch whenever we’re not able to make it to the dog park.

About: I grew up with pets in my household until I graduated. I’ve shadowed in vet clinics and have also been employed and am still currently employed at one nearly two years now! I love building bonds with animals and bringing out their personalities, and also giving them a friend when they need one when mom and dad are unavailable! I’m currently working part-time, but i am more than happy to spend my free time helping your loving pets! I love animals and want to continue my work with them however i can. Walks, Playtime, and Cuddles galore! I have spent my days for the three years in a clinic working with those who are sick and giving them love when they need it. I’d love to bring your pet the care they need while their person is away and will follow their schedule when available to insure they are comfortable!

Tiphaney M.Star Sitter
“Tiphaney has worked with my dog for several years, both grooming and boarding her. Onyx loves her, wiggling and wagging whenever she sees Tiphaney. The videos she sends make it clear that Onyx is having a blast. Onyx has long hair and an uncanny ability to find every mud puddle or burr around. Tiphaney makes Onyx look GOOD without traumatizing her. I can't speak about Tiphaney's ability to meet breed standards for grooming, as Onyx is a mutt with no discernable breed characteristics, but I am very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Tiphaney's services.”


Tiffany P.
“Tiffany takes very good care of the pets she owns. I personally have never seen animals so cared for. They are treated not like animals but like family. She gives them attention, makes sure they are fed/watered, and endless treats. She had a huge heart and really shows it when she’s around animals.”

Ashley A.

She grew up taking care of all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to horses, and she has always given them the best care available. My late dog Libby absolutely loved when Ashley would come to visit, and of course animals know better than anyone when someone is a good, kind-hearted, animal-loving person. I can't think of many people I would trust with my pets, but Ashley is definitely one of them.”

Amber A.
“Everyone knows my dog, Hazy Moon, is my favorite person of everyone created. If I have to leave her with someone for one night up to two weeks there is no one who I trust more than Amber. I get daily pictures of Hazy playing happily, eating (which she’s never done with other kennels or sitters), and being her downright cute self. I don’t have to worry about mistreatment or Hazy being in a kennel all day with short potty times or play breaks. Amber makes Hazy part of her family whenever I have to travel without her. My highest praise and thanks for loving and caring for Hazy like I do 💕”


Kennedi B.
“Kennedi is the perfect candidate for rover. She’s currently in school to be a veterinary, is currently working at a vet hospital, and has loved and cared for my animals before! I also work for rover, and as someone who works for rover i would never recommend someone less than applicable for this job. She’s the most hardworking and caring person i know which makes her perfect for this job. I’ve trusted her with my pets a numerous of time and so have several others that i know.”
