About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.
“Taylor did a great job watching my 2 dogs. She was great with communication and did everything that was asked of her. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Lindsey is the best! She truly cares about your pet as if it was her own! I will keep rebooking Lindsey every week. She takes the time to play ball with my dog, which happens to be my dog's favorite thing!”

About: I worked as a veterinary technician and ICU nurse at a veterinary teaching hospital for 11 years. I have a farm where I have 2 cats, chickens, 3 dogs, 2 dachshunds and an Australian shepherd. I would love to pet sit your pups and provide an adventurous, peaceful, home away from home. Most weeks I am working from home so I am here all day with my pets and yours. I give numerous potty breaks throughout the day along with pasture walks and trail hikes, all on my property. If I leave for appointments or errands, I am gone no more than 4 hours. I have 22 acres that my pups (and cats and chickens) roam on. The front is fenced and gated but there are still places around the perimeter that does not have a full fence. I can easily keep your pup on a leash while staying if desired. I am happy to crate your pup if you desire during bedtime and/or when I am out for a few hours. I have multiple sizes of crates available so you will not have to bring. I have a background in veterinary medicine and never let my pups out of my sight while we are outside playing.
About: Through a local Animal Rescue, I have cared for dogs and cats of every size and breed. I currently foster kittens rescued from high kill shelters and help place them into loving homes. I also have extensive experience with providing specialized care to baby kittens and puppies as young as 2 weeks old. I currently work from home. My flexible schedule affords time to pursue other hobbies and passions - like caring for animals. I’m available most weekdays 5-8am, 12-1pm, and 6-10pm. Weekends I have flexible availability. I have experience with leash training and can work with your pet on basic commands during walks. I can also easily crate your pet after walks/visits if needed.
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.
About: I have always had a passion for animals, which led me to gain extensive experience in pet care over the years. I’ve had the joy of caring for various pets, including dogs, cats, and even small animals like rabbits and hamsters. My journey in pet care began with my own pets, where I learned the importance of proper nutrition, exercise, and socialization. Throughout my experience, I have provided services such as dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I pride myself on being attentive and adaptable. I enjoy creating fun and engaging activities tailored to each pet, whether it’s a long hike for an energetic dog or quiet playtime for a shy cat. Safety is my top priority, and I always ensure that pets are in a secure environment. I am well-versed in administering medications and handling special dietary requirements, giving pet owners peace of mind while they are away. I also maintain clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed. My goal is to provide a loving and nurturing experience for every pet in my care. I look forward to creating a trusting relationship with both pets and their owners, ensuring everyone feels happy and comfortable. I am a full-time student who just moved to Columbia, TN for my residency! Saturdays and Sundays are my most flexible days, but with enough planning, I can work around any schedule! Safety and trust are my top priorities in pet care. I ensure a secure environment for all pets by using safe practices during walks, playtime, and interactions. I’m vigilant about recognizing and managing any potential hazards. I believe that building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly, providing regular updates and insights into their pet’s well-being. My goal is to create a reassuring experience, allowing owners to feel confident that their furry friends are in caring and responsible hands.

About: I’ve worked in a vet's office and taken care of pretty much all animals over the years. I grew up showing horses competitively on a small farm with chickens, ducks, cattle, rabbits, pigs, dogs, and cats. Since then I’ve owned and cared for miniature donkeys, standard poodles, Weimeraners, Dalmatians, cats, and chickens. As long as it’s not a reptile, I’m game. I love those who need something extra that your normal pet sitter may not be comfortable with - and I also love all the others who don’t need anything special! I have an extremely flexible schedule and can work around pretty much whatever you need. One thing’s for sure - I will be honest with you. If I can’t do it, I will tell you. I will come to your home and care for your pets just as you do! I don’t need a pre-visit (unless you would like that) - you can show me by FaceTime or you can leave me a note. I am also more than happy to have a pre-visit! I like to communicate with you while you’re away so you know how things are going at home.

“Lana has been the best caregiver of our two furbabies that we have ever had. She has gone above and beyond to accomodate our weird schedules at times, and we have always felt included in their care while we are away. Lana always offers great communication with us by sending us numerous pictures of her time with our two dogs, which gives us peace of mind when we can't be with them.
