Pet Sitting Donelson Hills

About: I have worked with animals for the past 19 years. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in animal science and have worked with many different species from young to old. My work experience ranges from general practice and emergency room veterinarian clinics, an animal shelter to the Knoxville zoo, and 7 years in animal agriculture. My love for all animals runs deep and through my experience I am able to administer medications, perform CPR, and just understand animal behavior all together. I personally have had two dachshunds of my own from young rescues to 17 year old seniors. I currently work remote and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any needs of an animal in my care. Daily walks are part of my routine regardless of the weather. I live in a home that has been converted into a duplex tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. I have a balcony allowing for outside access for bird watching or just plain old barking. I have a large backyard but not fenced. Dog beds in every room. Every animal in my care is like family meaning no couch or bed is off limits. I often plan my daily outings to allow for my animals to come with me or spend limited time alone.

“Darian really went above and beyond. I was so stressed and worried because my dog can sometimes take a minute to warm up to new people. Overall a great experience and would recommend him to anyone!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all of my life and my dogs have all lived very long and healthy lives. I’ve adopted them and taken in strays, including one that was pregnant and then had 8 very healthy puppies which we cared for, weaned and found permanent homes for. Several of my dogs have lived very long senior lives (21!) and I can give medications and special diets. I’ve also transported many dogs, large and small, to the vet. I take my dogs to the dog parks on a regular basis and have taken them on long trips too. I am available to dog walk and also watch them in fenced-in yards for potty breaks and play. I produced several “Pet Care" series for HGTV, DIY Network and TNN, including dog care segments with Dr. Craig Prior, owner of Murphy Road Animal Hospital and a very popular and well-known Nashville veterinarian, who was also my personal vet for many years. I’m retired so I’m available all days and times. And I love taking photos and videos of pets and would be able to share updates for clients. I am currently retired and am available all days and times. I do volunteering on a regular basis but can adjust that schedule as needed. I also do freelance Marketing and Development including grant writing for nonprofits, on my own time schedule. I have a fenced-in back hyard for my own dogs but also take them on walks and to the dog park. So I would be able to walk dogs as needed. I also know about safety in a home, including keeping food, liquids, cleaners and materials away from pets. My own Beagle can get ninto things easily so I always put things up. My dogs do not use crates but I know how to crate dogs too.

“Astrid did a great job, showed up on time and played kindly with Cruz. She communicated accurately arrival and departure and made being away longer easier for me knowing my girl had received some attention! Will schedule again.”

“Ali is the best!!! We will absolutely have her watch our kitties again! We have a very shy and very anxious guy and she won him over, it was so great knowing he trusted her. She also kept our 7 week old kitten busy and entertained! She's so kind, reliable, and she gave such great updates and pictures. So thankful to have found her 💓”

“Makeda is amazing with my dog and went above and beyond with walks and photos so I could trust he was doing great while I was away! Highly recommend her services!”

Ryan W.

“Ashley was great looking after our dog while we were away. Everything was in great condition when we got back and Henry had been loved on and cared for just like we would have. Will be happy to use Ashley again!”

Ashleigh W.

“Dana is a thorough, caring and responsive sitter who genuinely loves animals! We felt so secure leaving our kitties in her care, and she also managed to capture some of the cutest photos of our cats ever taken. She took care of food, water, cleaned up the occasional mess and kept us posted on two of our kittens who’d recently been spayed and needed some extra attention so they wouldn’t mess with their stitches. We are absolutely making Dana our go to sitter from here on out, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to others looking for animal care.”

“Isabel was punctual and communicative before, during, and after her drop in visit with our two dogs. It was evident that they received excellent care. She’s a delight to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: My family has had dogs since I was very young, and I have had my own dog for 3 years now. She is a rescue, and I have had her since she was 6 months old. I work full-time in a bakery and am off most days around 1-3pm. I do have some free mornings as well and would be able to drop by with notice. I live close to East Nashville with my dog, Millie, and cat, Spoon! I live by all the good walking trails. I would love to schedule some dog-walking nearby so that i can take full advantage of all the great weather we are having.

“We are repeat customers and always feel great leaving our senior cat in Amy’s care. She’s very reliable, goes above and beyond, and gives our boy the extra attention he needs with twice daily insulin shots.”
