Pet Sitting in Franklin

About: I've loved caring for pets my entire life! My mother was a vet tech who taught me everything I needed to know about caring for animals. I have two senior dachshunds adopted from rescues and have rehabilitated them to be sweet socialized canine citizens. I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I work a hybrid office job which gives me some flexibility for assisting with your pets! I can walk or visit with your pets in the evenings on weekdays, or anytime on weekends. Your pet will receive care according to their unique needs while I'm visiting with them. Play, feeding, affection, or exercise defined by what you would want to be doing for them yourself.

“I always ask Elizabeth first, she’s my favorite and my dogs favorite choice!! Thanks for being so helpful and understanding of me and my pups!”

About: I’ve helped my parents house-sit dogs since around 10 years old. Moving out I continued to care for my friends' fur babies, showering them with the love and care they deserve. I’m looking to reach out more and meet new fur babies and help out more people because as a dog mom myself, I understand life can get busy! And just as I have my own fur baby in mind, I understand wanting the best care for them and a peace of mind while away which I aim to provide. Hello! Please note that I work full-time during the week, with hours from 6:30/7:00 AM–4:00 PM daily, and until 5:00 PM on Thursdays. House Sitting: I can stay overnight and provide care before and after work. Please keep in mind the schedule if your dog will need a potty break during that time - I understand it's a long time for the little buddies! Dog Walks: Evening walks are available after 4:00 PM on weekdays (5:00 PM on Thursdays). Drop-in Visits: Limited availability during the weekday due to my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate early mornings, evenings, or weekends. I’ll make sure your pets are loved and cared for within the schedule I can provide. If this fits your needs, I’d be glad to connect! As a dog mom myself, I care for every animal with the same love and respect I’d want for my own pup. I treat each pet like family while always honoring the wishes of their owners. When I’m in someone else’s home, I’m mindful and careful—making sure your pet feels safe and happy, and your home is well cared for too.

About: I have watched the pets of friends, family, and peers of mine and have had an amazing time doing it! I also had a family dog and I have a cat of my own! I have watched / walked pets of many ages, weights and temperaments and I have been happy with all of them! I am respectful towards boundaries of pets, and have experience grooming my own pets who are reactive at the grooming salon and are better at home. I also have lots of walking dog experience as well. I am working part-time on the weekends, I am able to stay overnight during weekends. I cannot bring any other pet home because of my own cat but I am able to travel and stay at other houses on the weekends. I am able to do one day pet sitting and short and long dog walks as well. I am able to also take dogs or cats on car rides if needed as well! I have cared for my family dog along side my family for her whole 13 year life, she was a yellow lab. I now have a maine coon who is 19 lbs and has double hip dysplasia and a bad knee who is 5 years old. I have groomed both of those pets, walked both of those pets on leashes and taken daily care and made sure any problems they have had, had been helped and treated with care. I safely take directions from owners whose pets I have watched and followed them fully and have reached out an asked questions and made them aware of everything that had happened when they were gone. I take pet care very seriously and I always bring up anything I notice is wrong and always make sure the pets safety and happiness is priority!

“Jackie was fantastic! She communicated clearly and consistently, which made the whole experience stress-free. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our pets—they were happy, healthy, and clearly well looked after when we returned. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away knowing they were in such capable hands!”

“Kailey was awesome! She came by for a meet and greet and took great care of our pup when we had to go away at the last minute. Very informative and sent lots of pics, we felt really comfortable knowing he was being taken care of. Thanks Kailey!!”

“Amanda did drop in visits for my cat Winston at the last minute and did a wonderful job. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my fur baby. She gave regular updates and sent lots of photos, and I could tell she cared for him well. She even vacuumed around the litter box and living room without being asked! I definitely recommend booking with her.”

Rebecca E.

“Amanda has been great to work with and she handled the craziness of our two four month old puppies wonderfully! She is great at communicating and provided a nice summary of her visit along with some pictures. We look forward to having Amanda watch the dogs again.”

“This is the first time we have used this type of service and we were very hesitant to try it. But after meeting with Patricia we were convinced it was a good choice. Our dogs took to her right away and eased any concerns we had. The pictures and report cards were great!! Next time we need someone to help out with our furry kids we will be contacting Patricia again.”

Brian B.

“I am so glad that I hired Jessi to check up on my cat while I was away from home for a week. It was clear from our inital meeting that she really cares about animals and enjoys what she does. Like others had said about her previously, she was able to get my shy cat out for a few days that she came to visit, which is a huge win!! I am looking forward to hiring Jessi again in the future”

“Kelly was thorough and cared well for our baby dog! She is so professional and kind.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. I’ve personally had dogs for over 20 years and cats for over 15 years, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra care and patience. In addition to my own pets, I’ve helped care for others’ pets through nannying and independent pet sitting. This has included drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for pets with specific needs, including providing extra care for my cat with early-stage kidney disease. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m happy to follow specific routines and provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’ll care for your pets and your home the same way I would my own, with attention to detail, respect, and clear communication so you always feel comfortable and informed. I have a flexible schedule and am typically available for drop-in visits between 9am and 5pm on weekdays. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine within those hours. Weekend availability is more limited, but I’m happy to help when I can and will always communicate availability in advance. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and any specific preferences. I’ve completed pet first aid and CPR training through the American Red Cross, so I’m prepared to respond quickly and appropriately in case of an emergency. I’m very mindful when entering and leaving a home, making sure doors are secure and pets are safe at all times. For dog walks, I ensure leashes and harnesses are properly secured before heading out. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Kaylan was awesome to work with! She did a great job caring for our 2 Yorkies, and we were able to get away for a weekend event with complete peace of mind, knowing our dogs were in terrific hands. Responsive and reliable. A great experience!”

“Kelsey was incredible. First she was extremely flexible as I changed my plans on her many times! I booked out in advance and she followed up with me beforehand. My cats love her and loved to play and be pet! She handled my entry instructions great and I felt very safe leaving my cats in her care and my apartment open to her! I met her in person as well she is so kind. I highly recommend!”

“Christiana is very reliable, kind and was so great with our kitties! We needed her very last minute and she was a huge help. She kept us updated with pictures. Thank you!”

“Gave my dog a lot of attention . Was good with him”

Julie R.

“Kelsey was fantastic with my nervous pup. She gave him the space he needed, but got him to eat dinner, and he even relaxed on the couch while I was gone, which is rare for him. She kept me updated all night and was very communicative. I'm looking forward to using Kelsey's services in the future!”
