About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 15 years. I managed a bird barn for over a year successfully on my own. I have experience with all kinds of animals as I’ve been able to enjoy caring for many kinds over the years. With 1 tiny dog and 4 cats currently, I enjoy the liveliness they bring! Any messages sent after 830pm will be answered the next day! I’m currently waiting to start college, I have plenty of extra time for walks and play time! In May 2026 my schedule will change a bit when I’m in school physically for a few hours every day. We’ll start with a meet and greet so we can all get to know each other a little bit. Your animals get the same love and care that mine get.

About: Your pets deserved to be treated like royalty! With 7+ years of experience, I'm a passionate animal lover dedicated to providing top-notch care tailored to your pet's unique needs. What sets me apart? My unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive care that encompasses nutrition, play/enrichment, love, and all the necessary elements of pet well-being. From pampering your pet with playtime to offering gentle care for senior pets, your pet's happiness and health are my top priorities. With two beloved cats of my own, Dusty and Juju, I understand the special bond between pets and their owners. I’m a certified advanced master beekeeper and work with an urban beekeeping company.

I am excited to build trusting relationships with pet owners and their beloved companions while offering reliable and personalized pet care services. For short-term pet care, a simple guide of your pet's routine and needs would helpful to meet your expectations and ensure proper care during my visits. For example, feeding schedules and amounts, exercise/stimulation routines, medication administration (if applicable), and any other specific instructions. For longer-term or ongoing care, I believe in establishing trust and understanding through an onboarding call or visit. This allows me to get acquainted with your pet's personality, preferences, and any special needs they may have. For pets with special requirements, such as medical conditions or behavioral considerations, an onboarding session is essential to ensure I can provide the best possible care. By prioritizing open communication and personalized attention, I strive to create a seamless and stress-free experience for both owners and their beloved pets.
About: Sup, pup parents! I’m Kim, a genuine, dedicated pet lover, pet caregiver and pet groomer with many years of experience. I’m honored to have the opportunity to care for your precious furry people! Beginning July 2022, I went from caring for animals part-time to caring for animals full-time. I have an endless amount of experience in a multitude of career choices. All my experiences have led me to today, caring for animals in any capacity. I’m originally from Mississippi and I graduated from Ole Miss. After college life, I lived in Nashville, Tennessee, for four years. I then lived in Utah for 28 years, lived in South Carolina for 1 1/2 years and then, beginning March, 2026, I moved back to Nashville to care for my parents. I’ve owned and operated several businesses (preschools/daycare centers, a life coaching practice, and a gift shop). Along with business ownership, I have worked in additional fields such as advertising, marketing, sales, and public relations. I have worked with and I have cared for over 300 different dogs in the past three and a half years. Like people, each and every pup is different, so each and every booking comes with more experience that helps me learn and grow. I’m able to customize the care for each doggie. I’ve received some professional training for different dog breeds, temperaments, behavioral responses, and dog grooming. In addition, there are so many online resources that have been such a blessing (ChatGPT, YouTube, Google, etc). I utilize such platforms to receive a multitude of education, all to ensure your babies are safe, comfortable and happy. In my lifetime I have had lots of different pets in my home, from being a child up until now. My first pet was a grey Mini Schnauzer named Gretchen. Other dogs: Scarlett the Irish Setter, Shawn the Irish Setter, Wrigley the white Lab, Mandy the Cocker Spaniel, Jackson the black and white Shih Tzu, Sam the English cream Golden Retriever, Chrissy the belenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Manning the ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Currently I have Gibson a Tan and white Shih Tzu and Jenny a grey and white Shih Tzu Poodle mix. They are the loves of my life! I’ve also had LOTS of cats over the years. A few of the cats were: Sugar, Oreo, Dexter, Nala, Jack, Greyson, and my Claire Bear. December of 2024, I had to put down my 15 yr baby girl kitty, Claire. I’m still mourning her loss. I’ve also had other types of pets: a ferret, hamsters, guinea pig, fancy rats, turtle, tarantula, corn snake, parakeets, and fishies! Prior to moving back to Nashville, I boarded dogs, I provided doggie daycare, I did drop-in visits, I did house sitting, and I groomed dogs. ---------- Services Provided 1. Pup House Sitting & Pup Play for the Day 2. Pup Pop-ins 3. Pup Pampering (Grooming) Pup House Sitting & Pup Play for the Day Stay overnight or doggie daycare to come play for the day Pup Pop-ins Coming to your house for 30 or 60 mins at a time Pup Pampering (Grooming) Basic grooming (pre-bath prep, bath, blow dry, & trim). Additional grooming services also available. ----- I have skills handling all types of temperaments, like high-energy pets for example. I have experience with non-neutered/non-spayed dogs, administering medication, calming anxious animals, providing medical care, training, grooming, separation anxiety, play activities, and so much more. I’m available seven days a week. If I work on Sundays, I try to have that day a little more relaxed and low-key, just so the dogs and myself can have a little down time and a break. I’ll only do one grooming a day. I’ll do two if the dogs are under one roof. Sometimes a groom may be spread out between two days, all depends on the dog's comfort level. I have a love for life that includes things and activities like: spending time with my granddaughters; organizing (basically taking any disorderly space and creating order, sprinkled with a little love and happiness :) ); projects indoors and outdoors; yard work; gardening; creating systems; grooming my own dogs; acrylic painting; diamond art; anything crafty; decorating; designing; gift wrapping; any creative outlets; research; travel; learning new things; playing board and card games; football (especially my Ole Miss Rebels); and of course stopping to pet any dog or animal that is within a six foot parameter! So please reach out with any questions you may have! I miss all of my former clients, especially the ones I got to care for daily and weekly! Hoping to love on many more new furries soon! Whenever you need help while you’re away at work, while you’re away on vacation, or while you’re away for any event or for any reason, I hope I’m your choice for pet care. I’d be delighted to care for your love bugs in any capacity! Caring for furry love bugs is my full-time job, so I'm usually flexible when I have availability. I don't need to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine, pets fit into my daily and weekly routine. : ) Safety and trust are my priorities. Even though pet parent homes are different, the environment created is the same. Each environment is filled with love and positive energy. Each angel is treated as if they were my own!

“Helen is truly amazing. She took such good care of miller- even my neighbors commented to me about it in passing. Always communicates upfront if she needs a schedule change and is so friendly. Couldn’t recommend her enough.”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I have had 4 cats to grow up with throughout my life, being my best friend since I was a baby, to watching me graduate from school. I love still getting to pet sit and see some of them from time to time. I recently moved back to Nashville with my cat, Lucky, and two German Shorthaired Pointers, Scout and Lily. Building a long-lasting, trustworthy relationship with my pet-sitting clients has given me the pleasure to care for some amazing dogs and get to watch them go from playful puppies to sassy seniors. I am very attentive to details, so whatever your paw-baby needs from exercise, medications, or specific diets, I am happy to fulfill their needs. I love taking my dogs on long walks at the park, and my dog Scout will have me throw his ball all day long. My dog Lily is a little bit of a lazy bean, so if your pet needs a snuggle friend, I am here to help. Keeping your mind at ease that your fur-babies are happy and thriving is my top priority, so I frequently message my clients with updates on their pets' eating progress, daily exercise, medications, and any additional needs. Oh, and of course, pictures of their paw-babies !!! I am available to take 2-3 total clients per day with drop in visits and dog walking services. If you are needing House Sitting Services message me a 2 weeks minimum in advance so I can fit it into my schedule. Drop In Visits Monday-Sunday I will visit your pet 2-3 times per day spending time with them and taking them out for a walk or playing with them and their toys. I will give them fresh food and water every time I visit and give medicine if requested. If your pet is a little lazy bug like my dog Lily and just wants to couch surf and bird watch out the window I am happy to help. I will update you with photos and updates on how your fur-baby is doing throughout the day. Rates for House Sitting clients are higher to reflect on current gas prices and multiple travels to and from your home. When house sitting at a clients home I will watch over your fur-baby for 2-3 time periods of the (day and evening). Spending the night at the clients home if needed. When I have to leave your home to let my dogs out, your pet will stay on the pre-set bathroom break schedule max 4 hours. I will take your dogs out for walks if requested for drop in visit and house sitting bookings or I will make sure they get exercise in your home playing with their toys. For my cat clients I will make sure they get their exercise with their toys and they will get fresh food, water, and a clean box each day.
