About: I grew up on a hobby farm caring for chickens, dogs, cats, and just about every animal in between, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. I was also actively involved in 4H and FFA, which taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different needs and personalities. I started pet sitting in Nashville in 2019 after moving here to pursue my music business degree, and since then, my business has grown entirely through referrals and repeat clients. I’m proud to say many of my clients have trusted me with their pets for years because I truly care for every animal like they’re my own. I have experience with overnight house sitting, drop-ins, walks, feeding routines, medications, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I also know how important communication is, so I always provide updates with photos and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I like to joke that I become your pet’s second favorite human, but earning their trust and making them feel happy and cared for is genuinely the best part of what I do! I am a musician so my work comes and goes. I have a lot of free time to work around so pet sitting is perfect! I make sure that I have clear expectations from all of my clients on what is/isn’t acceptable in their home. I make detailed notes to make sure everyone is happy with the routine!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. I love playing with them and making them feel extra loved. I carry excessive amounts of free time during summer and I would love to fill it by taking care of animals. I will be able to work around other peoples schedules with ease. I have a fenced yard with 2 furry friends for them to play with. We can run around and play with balls and toys and I am very generous with the treats so they will feel loads of love. I will take them on walks and any other service asked for.

“Jessica was wonderful with Rizzo who has previously been too scared to go with other walkers! She was communicative, showed up on time, and always took pics! We’ll use her again”

About: I’ve cared for every kind of pup in my lifetime— from potty-training puppies to sweet senior dogs, from tiny little nuggets to 200 lb gentle giants. Having owned two dogs myself and cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I’ve provided trusted dog sitting and house sitting services, managing feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m confident handling both high-energy dogs and calmer senior dogs, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so every dog I meet gets to be “my dog” for a little while, and I treat them with the same care, attention, and love I would give my own. I just graduated college and am in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup. My schedule is open and flexible enough to accommodate same day services. I currently cannot care for pets in my home; however, I’m happy to commute to a client’s home to provide care where pets are most comfortable and familiar. I always try to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, focusing on creating a calm and dependable environment through consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is in good hands.

“Thank you Anabelle for helping out with Bentley!”

About: Hi, my name is Sophia! I’m a proud owner of a 11 year old Jack Russel/Staffy mix named Liam! He’s typically shy with other dogs at first but opens up after a good few sniffs. I also have two cats named Emilio and Antonio. They want to be friends with Liam so badly but he hilariously ignores their affections. I have enjoyed working with animals most of my life and I’m experienced with dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and snakes. Having worked at a veterinary clinic all through high school, I then volunteered at the local animal shelter throughout college. I absolutely adore all animals and all the much needed love they bring. I can’t wait to meet yours! I work two part-time jobs as well as gigging in the music scene. My schedule is either super open or sometimes less so! That being said, my family has moved to town so I will always be around for the holidays. My dog has separation anxiety so at-home stays can be tough but not impossible as I also have a lovely roommate he adores. My cats are good with dogs as well! I’m very experienced with drop-in visits and overnight stays. I follow instructions well and can easily cater to the needs of your pup or pups.

About: I grew up with a family dog who was a shih tzu and poodle mix. Now, I largely work with dogs who might need a little extra attention, but I’m open to working with other furry friends! Does your pet need medicine 3 times a day? I do that. Does your dog have leash aggression or very specific likes and dislikes? I've dealt with that too. Separation anxiety? Check! Senior dogs struggling with incontinence? I'm here to help. Currently, I offer house sitting (taking out trash, plant care, etc), drop ins, pet sitting (2-3 walks, medicine if applicable, feeding, play time), pet walks, and feeding. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings and am available most holidays and weekends. I offer pet sitting in my client's home to keep pets in the environment where they feel safest. I will collaborate with you to see what works best for your pet and their home. I love pets and will often spend a little extra time with them if you're worried about them being left alone. I know each dog and cat is different, so I'm more than happy to adjust to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!

About: I have been a dog walker and pet-sitter for my neighbors since I was 12. I have watched dogs of all sizes, cats, and lizards. I have a dog of my own that lives with my parents, as well as a tortoise. I have experience with all different sizes and types of animals. I work part-time, and I live alone, so I will have plenty of time to care for any animals. I adore dogs and reptiles, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I have a small yard to take dogs out to - they will need to be leashed. I also live in a walkable neighborhood so they will get ample walk time. My apartment is large and they will have plenty of space to stretch out. For reptiles, I have plenty of space to keep them/ their enclosure in a safe area.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs and surrounded by neighborhood cats, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I started dog and cat sitting in high school and have continued ever since, gaining years of hands-on experience with pups (and kitties!) of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I truly adore all animals—whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly. I also have experience working with pets who need a little extra care and patience, including dogs and cats with anxiety, special needs, and senior pets. I understand how important it is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s unique personality. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority, and I’ll treat them like one of my own every step of the way! I work in education, so I am a little more limited on how often I can take your pup out during the work week, but my summer and weekend schedules are wide open, allowing me to dedicate all the time and attention to your pet that they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the responsibility of caring for both your pet and your home very seriously, and I strive to create a calm, secure, and loving environment while you’re away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements your pet may have. I have experience working with anxious pets and seniors, so I’m tuned in to their behavior and needs. When staying in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure. I’m mindful about locking doors, monitoring your pet closely, and maintaining a safe environment at all times. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine love every step of the way.

About: I grew up with pets and love them basically more than people! I treat them how I would myself! I need them to be well fed, comfortable, given attention and getting in their steps! I’m currently training for a fitness instructor job which is only a few hours a day. Not your typical 9-5, so my hours are more available depending on what time you would like me to help out. I make sure the pet is comfortable and well fed. If there’s ever an emergency I would immediately take them to the vet. I’ve had some scary experiences of my own and wouldn’t want that for someone else.

“Thomas was amazing with my puppy & she gravitated towards him from when she first saw him. Beautiful spirit and grate with my baby. In grateful for the time you spent walking her for me. And I highly recommend.”

“Another good week w Riley for our 5-yr old, lively dog. Riley is consistently on time, positive, and ready to walk. She is attentive to his pace, especially in very hot weather. She always gives 150%.”

About: Pets have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have cared for them over the years, and I’ve had cats my whole life. I know how to read their behavior, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels at ease whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I work full time but I have plenty of flexibility to take care of your pet! I go into the office 3 times a week but I am off work by 3:30pm. I can do early mornings, late nights and weekends! I come to your home, so your pet gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable — in their own space, with their own smells, routines, and hiding spots. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box preferences, or which spots are off-limits. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Piper has been such a great help on the busy work weeks and has even made the time to help out coworkers as well! Highly recommend her and my girls love her!”

“Emily took great care of our pup! She was kind, prompt, and communicated well. Grateful for her care.”

About: I grew up with a dog and two cats, which of course means I have been taking care of pets for my whole life! I have pet sit dogs and cats (and also bunnies) for families out of town while home in the summers and have been trusted on many occasions to watch my own pets for my parents. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of availability to be the best pet person ever! I am available throughout the day on weekdays to do drop-ins or go on walks and am a very active person so I won’t tire easily from your active puppy! I can easily keep up with your dog on a walk or keep it slow to get the older and smaller dogs their appropriate amount of exercise!
