Ras is awesome to work with! She is responsive and flexible. It was clear during our meet and greet and her messages while spending time with my pups that she has experience in working with all types of dogs and I feel confident in her ability to take great care of them. I look forward to continuing to work with her!

It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to all types of animal personalities, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and care I’d want for my own. We have two sweet dogs of our own that are friendly to all dogs and people, and are always up to date on necessary vaccinations. We live in a 1,400 sq ft townhome in the heart of Clarksville, and although we no longer have a yard, we have a large open green space right next to our complex and are just a block away from a dog park that we use constantly. Since I'm home all day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout their stay! (Plus lots of pictures of them to send your way!) Since I'm home all day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and love throughout their stay! This also allows me to provide flexible scheduling and attentive care for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting needs. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're used to, whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in theirs. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other preferences the owner provides. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and have plenty of attention, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space while providing lots of love, care, and updates along the way.

Mo provides 5-star service — to my dog, and to me. Communicated well, sent photos frequently. I knew my dog was happy and felt safe when I got photos of him belly-up and relaxed. Mo house-sat for five days and it was clean and well cared for. I highly recommend Mo, and will be using his services in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️

Brittany is amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog Murray and was an excellent communicator. He has separation anxiety, and this was the calmest and happiest he's ever been when we came back from a trip. Brittany brought over her dog Duke (who is adorable), and Murray really enjoyed having a friend. She left our house in perfect condition, and I can't recommend her enough! 11/10!

Elle was fantastic when she watched our cat! From the very beginning, she asked all the right questions to make sure she had everything she needed to take care of him. She really cared about his wellbeing and it was clear that she understood how much we would miss him. She kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos and handled any small issues that came up. She was so kind and sweet throughout the whole stay. Her commitment to giving animals the best care and helping their owners feel better than ever is truly impressive. We couldn’t recommend her more! 10/10, she’s a total lifesaver!

Jena was communicative before and during the booking. She arranged a meet-and-greet with my dog to make sure she was feeling good about the gig, and she sent pictures while I was away. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house - what more could you ask for? Would definitely recommend Jena and would rebook her if the need arose.

Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.
