“From the first time we met Katie we knew our pups were in good hands! She’s very knowledgeable about pets and we were confident she would do a great job Katie was punctual for all her visits and went above and beyond what was asked of her. Couldn’t be happier with her service”
“Elizabeth was nothing short of amazing! She really is the best and loves your pet like her own! She’s the first dog walker I hired for my puppy and I’m so happy I did. You will not regret having Elizabeth watch over your fur baby!!”
“Katrina was incredible with my senior dog (Sonny) who needed a little extra care, patience, and attention. From day one, she treated him like her own, making sure he felt safe and loved. She’s punctual, professional, and communicates clearly with thoughtful updates after every visit. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and dogs love her right back. If you’re looking for someone truly elite, especially for a dog with special needs, Katrina is the one.”
“Tyler is wonderful! From the beginning, he met with us and our fur babies to understand our and their needs. Then, he kept us informed with notes and photos while we were on vacation. We will most definitely request him again. Thank you, Tyler!”
“Kyla has been so patient and thoughtful with our pup Maisie, and she’s been great to work with! She took the time to earn Maisie’s trust, and now they’re able to enjoy walks around the neighborhood. Very glad to continue working with Kyla!”
About: I grew in small town on dairy farm with 200 cows, horses, barn cats and dogs at the house. Animals have always been my passion. Went to college and completed my degree in Veterinary Science in New York. Worked as a licensed Veterinary Technician in Georgia once I transferred everything. Im very confident in my ability to provide great care to animals and providing a calming nature to animals that may be frightened.As Once we have gotten settled I will open boarding in my home. Right now I trying to be pretty flexible. Some important info for booking me right now I am new to area. On school days I need to be able to insure kids get to school witch means at least a two-two and half hours in between 5:30ish-8am I would be taken care of that. As well as occasionally having to be there when the get home from school. If I'm doing an over night during school time I would make sure to give your pet the opportunity to go out before leaving if needed in morning and can back after kids went to school.For my own dog he usually goes out in morning and right before I go out for day gets feed midday let out again. Later in afternoon or around dinner time and gets let out before bed time with providing him treats. Also some dates in calender may be blocked of cause of a booking with other app I am on feel free to message. Typically I provide care at clients home. I am use to wag in Texas. I provided walking service would arrive at owners home great their pet on pet terms and would walk them for disired time. Once home is more set up here from moving I look forward to having you pets over to board.
“This was my first time using a dog walking service and I have to say it turned out much better than I imagined! Quality service and characteristics like reliable, compassionate, punctual are hard to come by these days however, Brianna is all of these things and more. Brianna interacted with me, my Mom who was house sitting and of course my dog and best friend Baylee. Each walk was completed for the amount of time requested, she sent the cutest pictures of Baylee during their walks and it was a relief to know Baylee was getting love, attention and exercise while I was away. I highly recommend Brianna if you need care for your pets! Thank you, Brianna, for making this "first" a great experience for us! Well done:)”
“Shyanne is very reliable, friendly and does great with my dogs! She is very good at communicating and giving updates. I always feel at ease and know my dogs are in good hands with her!!”
About: I have cared for many furry loved ones of friends, family, and family friends since I was young. I have a full heart and no pup or kitty of my own currently, however I can give your loved one all the attention, patience, care, love and fun they want and deserve. Currently, I have an open and flexible schedule Monday through Thursday. For the past year on Fridays and Saturdays I have worked in Nashville, however the rest of the week I am here and pretty much free! Having just moved here I am staying in an apartment complex with a private dog park and many wonderful and enjoyable places to walk nearby. Apartment is decently sized if your fluffy friend is a bit on the larger side :) I have experience in administering oral medications (not comfortable with injections). Would love to know of any special needs, quirks (unfavorable AND good🤭), allergies, behavioral patterns, triggers, personality etc..
About: I have loved animals my whole life. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was younger, but my foster life didn’t give me the chance. I spent two years raising birds when I was younger and every home I’ve lived in has had multiple cats or dogs. We currently have one dog that is an ESA for my youngest daughter. He is the most tolerable kind dog I’ve ever met and loves playing with other dogs. I have no breed restrictions. I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I’m also open to caring for cage critters and snakes. Feel free to ask! I work a lot of hours but I am self employed so I can take breaks at a moments notice. I am very flexible in my schedule but also have a routine. I prefer to have at least 2-3 days notice for returning pet parents and 1 week notice for new parents to adjust my routine, have time for a meet and greet and make it work for everyone. I have a large fenced backyard and one extremely playful and loving pup. He is a Husky/Golden Retriever mix that doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. My dog sleeps with my kids, particularly my youngest as he was adopted as an ESA for he’s severe nighttime anxiety when she was younger. At this time I am not boarding due to restrictions. This may change later. If I am caring for your pet at your house, I am happy to bring mine along as a playmate or I can leave him at home.
About: My husband and I both adore animals and have grown up with multiple dogs from a young age. They are a part of the family and we wouldn’t want it any other way. I have also been a pet sitter for friends throughout the years. We are happy to have our own sweet pup now and she would be thrilled to share her home with some new friends! Joey is a mini golden-doodle that has been socialized well with people and dogs of all sizes. We have a very spacious fenced in backyard that is perfect for running laps and fetching favorite toys, as well as a walkable neighborhood for a change of scenery. I am an online graduate student in speech language pathology, and will be at home with them for most of the day so they can roam the house and have multiple breaks outside. We understand the process of finding a trusted pet sitter, and all of the feelings that come a long when leaving them with someone new. We really want to provide a service that will give you peace of mind while you are away. This will include timely communication, daily photo updates, and open conversation about any special care needs for your dog. It is important to us that every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved when they come to visit! We like to arrange a meet and greet prior to your dog’s stay to ensure that it’s a good fit for everyone.

Olivia S.
“I can’t recommend Olivia enough as a pet sitter. She’s been caring for animals her whole life and has such a natural way with them. With her own cats, Pixie and Tuna, she’s shown incredible patience and understanding—Pixie is the sweetest but has her quirks, while Tuna can be a real troublemaker and sometimes aggressive, and Olivia has always met both of them exactly where they’re at. She knows how to make animals feel comfortable and safe, even in challenging situations. She also cared for her family’s dog, Howard, taking him on regular walks and spending hours grooming mats out of his fur to keep him comfortable. Beyond that, she’s looked after her aunt’s dogs and dog-sat for family friends, always leaving behind glowing feedback from both the people and the pets. She just loves animals, and it shows in the way every dog or cat she meets seems to warm up to her right away. She’s even been wonderful with my boss’s dogs at my old job, and honestly, every pet we’ve ever come across seems to adore her. Olivia is caring, dependable, and truly loves animals. Whether it’s walking, playing, grooming, or just keeping them company, she gives pets the attention they deserve. Any dog or cat would be lucky to have her looking after them, and I’d trust her with mine any day.”
