About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets, I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or giving extra love and attention, I’m confident and comfortable with it all. Friends and family often trust me with their pets, and I always make sure each one feels safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I’m super flexible and love spending my days with furry friends! I’m usually available on weekdays from early mornings to evenings, which makes me a great fit for walks, potty breaks, or daytime drop-ins. Weekends are more open and relaxed, so I’m happy to help with longer stays or extra playtime. I’ll always do my best to work around your schedule—your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort mean the world to me. I always make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment where they feel at home, whether we’re out on a walk or hanging out inside. I follow any care instructions closely and treat every pet like my own, with lots of patience, attention, and kindness. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well-cared-for every step of the way!
“Jordan took great care of Lily, our 19 year old blind Siamese. Lily has to have medicine crushed up twice a day and put in her food so we needed someone that we could trust to do that. Jordan was that person! She stayed overnight at the house with Lily to make sure she was ok. She even feed the feral cats and birds that show up at our every day for a free meal. If you need an animal sitter, you need Jordan!”
About: Hey there! My name is Yasmin, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I grew up with dogs and currently own a dog and cat so I understand the importance of a pet’s well-being and the trust required when someone else cares for them. I’ve only pet sat for friends before but over the past year I’ve had the amazing experience of fostering numerous different pets with the local Humane Society! This has given me experience with all different types of dogs and cats with varying ages and personalities 😊. Whether it’s a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or cuddles on the couch, I’m committed to providing your pets with the same love and attention they get at home. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and giving them the care they deserve! I’m currently in the military on a M-F schedule. I get a break after PT and during lunch so your pet should never be alone for more than 5 hours. I have a fenced in yard that isn’t the biggest but enough to get the zoomies out! Inside my pets get free rein but are crated at night and when I am gone. Would be open to leaving pets out depending on circumstances.
About: I used to walk to pit bulls when I lived in nashville every weekend. They struggled with pulling on the leash with walk. So I dedicated time to train them on walking. I also watched and stayed with a couples dogs for a week. Feeding them, walking them, playing with them at the dog and much more. I grew up with dogs and one cat. My schedule is open as I work freelance at the moment. Open availability to watch your sweet babies. Mornings and afternoons are preferred but flexible. I live with roommates that have dogs. It’s gated and a 5 level deck. Their dogs are super friendly and love company when anyone comes over.

Victoria L.
“Victoria has taken care of our cat Morpheous on quite a few occasions as we travel or were under a heavy workload. She seemed to be great with our cat and kept him company while we were out or away. She gave us tips on walking him and he is adjusting to a leash! We also appreciated the little extras like keeping things tidy and bringing in packages, responsive communication and a cheerful disposition. We would certainly recommend her to anyone in need of help!”
