“Honestly my dogs loved Leanne as much or more than they love me! When they met her it was like they had met her before. It made me feel so much better to leave them in her care instead of at their usual dog boarding place. 10/10 would recommend her services again! The pictures and updates were so perfect, everything my girls needed and more! Thank you Leanne!”


“Excellent service! I was nervous to leave my 14yr old dog, Belle, alone for a week because she never had a sitter outside of family members, but she loved Isabel and Isabel was great with her! I couldn’t be happier with the level of care she provided to Belle. I highly recommend her and hope to have her watch Belle again in the future!”


“Emma is fantastic! This was our second time booking her and we’ve added a second pup since the last booking so she was very attentive to both pup’s needs! We will most definitely be booking again when we go on our summer vacation!”


“Emily provided a great drop in visit to let my puppy out and took for a walk while I was gone during the day. Emily was really easy to work with and will be using in the future!”


“Gabreal was absolutely amazing. He watched our dog for almost a week and treated her with such love, kindness and respect. He sent us photos whenever he stopped by and gave us updates on how she was doing. He even dressed her up in her little Holiday sweater for pictures for Christmas for us. Extremely communicative and so helpful. HIGHLY recommend. We will be booking again in the future.”


“Rafael was amazing! He was so kind to my kitty and treated him very well. He even cleaned the dirty food bowls after feeding him. Will absolutely be booking Rafael again.”


“Faith was great with my kitties. Thank you ! 🙂”


“Jules was great! She was good at communicating and left great pictures with the stay. She was on time and helped keep peace of mind while I was on my trip!”


“Tevin did a great job with my pup! He was very timely and responsive to messages and requests. My pup seemed to enjoy their time together.”


“Tahreem is great! She’s reliable, consistent, and kind. We’re happy to have found her, and our cat warmed up to her immediately! Great peace of mind while we’re traveling.”


“Awesome! Will be using again!”


“Natalie is an incredible sitter! She is extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and we completely trust her with our fur babies. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter”


“Piper was a star! So kind, great communicator and dealt with some bad weather and an unexpected situation like a champ! We definitely want her back to take care of our pups!”


About: I’ve taken care of all breeds, all ages! I work from home so they have constant company and I love having dogs around whenever I take a break & need some cuddles. Because I work from home I am available any day of the week including weekends. I’ll have plenty of time to give them attention & go outside! I have plenty of space in my home, and a dog to keep them company. I know not all dogs are as friendly & “playful” as mine, so I can separate them without any issue to keep everyone comfortable. (Large kennel or a play gate for separation)

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, and after leaving for college I miss spending time with them. So, I am excited to be able to spend some time with and take care of pets in the Nashville area! I am in law school and busy studying. Pet care fits into my routine as I plan to spend time walking in the Nashville area and am excited to have a pet to walk with! Additionally, drop in visits are a nice study break to play with pets for a little bit! I have taken care of pets for my entire life, so I am familiar with safety and trust. In clients’ homes, I understand the importance of earning a pets trust to maintain a comfortable environment for them.

“Cayla has been an amazing part of my puppy’s routine. Cayla communicates well, takes the best pictures (seriously I think she also works for National Geographic with those photo skills), and has a flexible schedule throughout the week. I have also booked overnight stays with Cayla! I felt totally comfortable leaving my new puppy with Cayla over a long weekend. Most importantly, my pup seems to enjoy spending time with Cayla several times a week! I wouldn’t have survived these first few puppy months without her!”


About: I have grown up around a minimum of 2 dogs my entire childhood. Currently my family owns 3 dogs, 2 of which I trained myself and am now able to take them on walks off-leash comfortably. I have experience with large and small dogs and am ready to handle any and all doggy daycare duties. Also have experience with senior dogs. I am a college student here in Nashville missing my dogs at home and would love to care for yours and make dog-parent life a little easter! I’m working part time at a music venue alongside a part time internship position with a radio station. This means I have more time than most during weekdays to check in on your pups or take them out for some exercise. I am comfortable caring for pets inside of your home and would make sure your individual instructions and care needs are met for your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I could walk from puppies to elderly animals! I have given medicine, potty trained, leash trained, and diaper trained. I work a full-time job during the weekdays and work from home on Fridays! I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays and am happy to come over after 5:00pm on weekdays! I am attentive to your furry friends while providing a loving and safe environment for all types of animals. I follow directions and treat every space with respect and care.

“Taylor was amazing!! So communicative and kept my dogs happy while I was gone :). I always worry about them when I leave but I finally felt really comfortable while I was away because of Taylor and how she sent pictures daily and always gave a thorough update! Will definitely be using Taylor again!”


About: Animals are a gift. As someone who has had dogs and cats for close to twenty years, I know how to treat all animals with the respect and care they deserve. Taking care of animals is a high responsibility that I know I am more than capable of providing. I am comfortable with all types of animals, and have experience with small and large dogs, cats, pigs, cows, and horses. I also have experience training puppies and with dogs with high energy rates. Additionally, I am always on time and think that every job, no matter the type, should be treated with the same professionalism, commitment, and respect. I have experience administering insulin and oral medications to dogs and am comfortable providing high quality care to your pet. Additionally, I am a nurse that enjoys taking care of people and animals. On days that I am at the hospital, my husband who works from home will take care of your furry friend! He is able to hang out with your pet at all times - something I’m jealous of! As a pet sitting duo, we offer a unique experience by being able to be with your pet at all times. We can't wait to meet your furry friend! :) I care for every animal with the same level of love and patience I would want my own dog to be taken care of. I think it is extremely important to provide a safe, loving environment for your pets, especially since they automatically give you their love and expect nothing in return. Additionally, I think it's important to respect everyone's space so I treat everyone's house with extreme care and respect when house sitting or performing a drop in visit.
