“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”


“Debbie was AMAZING with my fur babies. She communicated with me every step of the way, made certain they were loved and cared for, and did all of this at LITERALLY THE VERY LAST MINUTE when I was called out of town. I can not express my gratitude in words to her. She achieved ROCK STAR status in my eyes!”


About: I’ve had cats almost my entire life, and small dogs for a few years as well, so I’m familiar with their personalities and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own. I take time to learn each pet’s personality quirks, favorite toys, and cuddle preferences. I pay close attention to details, routines, and aim to make every visit feel like a mini vacation for your pet, and peace of mind for you! I go the extra mile to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and never alone. I send plenty of cute photo updates as well!! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I work part-time at home with a flexible schedule. I am a photographer as well, so I spend much of my day on my computer, which makes it easy for me to stay at your home and give your pets plenty of attention. I also co-parent three cats with my sister, so when I’m away, they’re well cared for, no worries there! They all have vastly different personalities, and dietary needs. This experience helps me understand the needs and comforts of pets in a busy but caring environment. I care for furbabies in my clients homes by following routines for feeding and providing fresh water, keeping the litter box clean, and offering playtime and cuddles. I offer gentle attention based on their personality, whether they want to play or just chill nearby. I keep an eye on their health and mood to ensure they stay happy and comfortable in their familiar space. I also send daily updates with photos or videos so you can see how your pet is doing. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities from shy, high energy, anxious, senior cats, to playful kittens. I’m also experienced with medication giving and different diets. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority!

“Gabby did awesome, we've used her for years, glad to see shes stretching her arms and joining rover! Our dogs love her to death and she is great with them. All 3 are pitbulls and she has no issues Keeping them spoiled and happy! Would book her anytime ! A very responsible and respectful young woman .”


About: Howdy! My name is Pierce! I’ve been caring for pets of my own and of friends / family since I was 16! I’m available anytime of the day or night! I’ve taken care of rabbits, hamsters, turtles, tortoises, Great Danes / Pyrenees, Maine Coons, birds, nonvenomous / non-constricting snakes, rats and mice, and teeny fur babies alike! I can’t wait to meet your pets!! Just give me a holler! 😁 I have a redbone coonhound and an orange tabby of my own so I still care for animals every day, but growing up I lived on a farm with tons of animals! We had snakes and rats / mice as well! I’ve given shots to animals, and my old dog had to have arthritis medicine every day. I love every animal! I’m very knowledgeable with many different animals. I always let animals sniff me before I go in for a pet, and I’ve never met a pet that didn’t love me back!

About: I’ve taken great care of a variety of awesome pets for over 10 yrs along with having amazing pets of my own. Also I’ve had plenty of experience grooming plenty of dogs from all sizes as I used to work as a professional dog groomer!! I currently have a part time job that I work at most 5 hrs a day at during night shifts but would love to spend my free time taking care of wonderful pets ! I’ve available any day that YOU need. I have an unfenced yard and two friendly female dogs to keep your pet company . Depending on your preference I have a crate if needed and will care for your pet how you want and need!

About: I have three dogs, two cats, and a gecko. My pet care experience started within my family, including dog walks, playtime, training, and love. When I got to highschool I started dog sitting within my neighborhood and for family friends. Although my pet care experience id say goes beyond just cats and dogs considering I’ve taken care of a pig, a bird, snakes, bunnies, hamsters, bearded dragons… I think you get the idea. As a wildlife biology major, I have also had exposure to even undomesticated animals, and learned telling signals of animals. Overall, I confidently can say that I believe I am a very qualified person to take care of your pets! Currently, I am in college with a pretty difficult major, and an athlete on the girls lacrosse team. During the week days the most I can do is offer assistance in letting your pets out and doings stop by’s to feed them, but the weekends I am open to way more time with your pets. Obviously I have no pets with me in my college dorm, but at home I have a fenced in yard, the dogs and cats get fed twice a day, and I give walks daily to the dogs. I also try to play with the dogs considering the breeds my family owns are high-energy breeds and need that kind of attention, but I also have dealt with low-energy breeds and older dogs who just need some pets!

About: I don’t have any special training in pet care, however I do have my own pets and care for them as if they were my children. I currently am finishing my bachelor degree and am looking to make some extra cash for my sons upcoming nuptials, and to get out of the house every once in awhile. My dog is my thunder buddy, he is scared of thunder and trucks. He sleeps with me most of the time, he is big so it’s not very comfortable and some nights I make him go to one of his two beds he prefers not to sleep in. We do everything together, he truly is my best friend.

About: My mom and I have spent the last 5 or 6 years adopting dogs in dire need from the shelter. We’ve taken in many senior dogs, bonded pairs, special needs dogs, and strays. It is very important to me that these animals receive the care that they deserve. I’m more than excited to help families and parents when they need someone to watch or walk their fur babies <3. I’m a barista as well as a full time college student so it makes sense to have a side hustle like this that I’m also passionate about! I live in Giles County, and am able to drive to several surrounding counties for pet care whenever I am available! I create a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of toys, cozy sleeping areas, and regular playtime. I follow a consistent feeding schedule and ensure they get their regular walks and exercise. In the client's home, I maintain their routine, provide companionship, and keep the home tidy. I also give lots of love and attention to make sure they feel happy and secure.

She was incredible: patient, attentive, and truly loved animals. She gave my older dog the gentle care and attention she needs, while also keeping up with the energy of my two younger dogs (both 3 years old). I got regular updates and photos, which made me feel totally at ease. When I came home, all three dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have had Tiffany care for my pups!”

Whether it’s giving a shy cat space to warm up or keeping a high-energy dog entertained and exercised, he knows exactly what to do. He’s helped take care of my pets plenty of times and they absolutely love him. He’s great about sticking to routines, keeping things clean, and paying attention to the little things like behavior changes or what each pet likes and doesn’t like. You can totally count on him to treat your pets like his own!”
