“Our pups loved their walk with Hope. We will definitely use her services. Highly recommend!”


About: I love caring for all kinds of animals and have been for 7+ years. I’m also a very reliable pet-sitter for my friends and family. I’m available Monday-Saturday from 8:00 am to 10:00pm. I also accept appointments made 2 days before. But I have no availability on Sundays for church. I care about every pet and will never put them in an unsafe situation. I will give you frequent updates with lots of cute pictures of your pets. I also have a lot of knowledge and experience with cats and dogs body language and will respond to the situation responsibly.

About: I like big mutts and I can not lie.....I'm dependable and trustworthy. I really do love all animals and I've yet to meet one who doesn't love me. I enjoy long walks to the dog park, playing fetch, and all the cuddles. Slobber is no bother. And I love animals great and small. I pick up poop. I clean litter boxes. I feed on time and give snacks if allowed. I have 6 dogs and 3 cats and work with a couple of different rescues. The more the merrier, I say. If you want your precious fur babies to receive all the love and kindness you would give them, while you're away, then I'm the girl for you. My pets are my babies and I'll care for yours like they're my own. My schedule is currently wide open and loving on animals is my passion. I do help care for my aging parent by taking her to the senior center twice a week but otherwise I'm very flexible and have plenty of time on my hands. I wish I could host pets at my place, but my own spoiled cats and dogs would not enjoy having to share the love. That said, I'm more than happy to spend time at your home. Whether full-time or just for visits, depending on what works best for you. If having me there all the time feels a bit much, no worries at all — I totally understand. I drive a Prius with great gas mileage, so I can swing by multiple times a day if you'd like.

About: I have had animals all my life. I worked at 3 vet offices growing up and take care of all animals. I love my animals like they were my children I currently don’t work so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets. I have had pets since I was a baby. I have taken care of pets since I was 10. Family has depended on me to care for their pets while they are away. I am currently a stay at home mom so I am very flexible and love animals of all kinds. I have 5 myself. I have plenty of time to spend with other animals I have four dogs and 1 cat and a nice neighborhood. I have worked at 3 Veterinarian clinics in the past. I love all animals

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small pets. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs special care, I take the time to understand their personality and make them feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love what I do. Let me give your pet the care and attention they deserve while you’re gone! I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week and on weekends. I can usually fit in morning and evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust where I can to fit your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, structure, and attention. I take time to learn each animal’s routine, dietary needs, and quirks so they feel safe and understood. In your home, I always treat your space with respect—keeping things clean and sticking to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. I provide regular check-ins, photos, and updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a dog who needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a quiet spot, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way.

About: I love animals, especially dogs. I'm wanting to start dog sitting and helping others out. I've always had dogs my entire life and they're my absolute favorite animal. We have a big fenced in yard so exercise and getting out will not be an issue. I will treat your furry friends as my own and will do my best to accommodate any special requests you may have. If your animal needs to be taken to any type of vet appointments while they are with me that will not be an issue either. I don't mind administering medicine or even if they just need a bath while they stay with me. Hope I can help you out! I have plenty of time to love and care for your fur baby! There are some hours during the day I'm unavailable, but I am very flexible. I am home most evenings and will be able to care for your pets with the love and care they deserve. I do have a fenced in backyard where they will be able to run around. My two dogs get a long great with others. My children are older and love to play with dogs as well!

About: I will love the dog as my own. I also love going on walks so walking dogs is something I enjoy. I have always loved dogs and hope to have many of my own again when I grow up and have my own house! I have a lot of availabilty after the morning because of school! I have also volunteered at the animal shelter for several years and I only worked with the dogs! Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I always had a dog growing up. There were very few times I did not have a dog. I love every size dog and love to play with them and care to their needs! Thank you for taking the time read this! I work from home so i am able to care and love for your furbaby all day and everyday that they are here. I give my clients my full attention and make sure they are comfortable it can be hard to adjust to a new place. I have a huge fenced in yard that is great for pups to run around! It is clean and well kept. I have a 3 bed 2 bath house and they are allowed to roam freely and go where they please!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! From golden doodle puppies to Labrador seniors I’ve cared for them! I had a childhood dog that I spent ever day with for 14 years that just recently passed but my mom and I cared for her every day. She had many dietary needs and help as she became older so I’m very familiar with those challenges! I’m also familiar with the challenges with many puppies as I used to puppy sit for an old friend in college who had a sweet baby with MANY needs (as most fur babies do:)). I love to meet new sweet animals every day and can’t wait to hopefully meet yours!!! I’m a recent college graduate currently in the job-search phase, so I’m very free any day of the week for animals! Weekdays are preferred, but weekends are totally doable with enough notice! I currently cannot house animals at my home due to owning a huge German shepherd who isn’t the best with new faces sadly. But, I’m more than available to meet you at your home and care for your pets as needed any time of day!

“Rachel did a great job watching our fluffy boy for us at the last minute this weekend. We are super thankful and would for sure use her again :)”


“Kayla was so great with my dogs. She was thorough in asking the necessary questions in order to make sure she could care for them properly! I will definitely have her walk our dogs again!!”


About: My parents taught me how to take care of their dogs at a young age. I would beg to be the one to get to feed them every morning and night “so they would love me the most” haha! I have 3 pups and a cat and love all animals so much. I would love to take care of your fur babies for you! I’m currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to give to your fur babies! I love going on walks so I would be more than happy to take ur pups on walks and help them get their exercise! I’m a pet lover and will do whatever you need me to do to take care of your babies! Walk, fetch, play in the yard, play inside, whatever you need!

“Katherine was great with our fluffy rascal when we were away for a long weekend. Absolutely would choose her again anytime!! Our dog has honestly never had so much exercise”


“Great communication ❤️Darlene was dependable and great to work with. Will use her services again!”


“Just the best”


About: Grew up with a dog all my life always believed they were man’s best friend. I’ve worked in a lot of homes and never had a bad experience with their dogs and I can always find where they love to be scratched I’m currently working full time as a high rise window cleaner in Nashville, but I’m looking for a positive side hustle and dogs love bringing positivity During walks I stay alert and looking for possible dangers i always try to look for big open fields; And during drop ins instructions are king of course respecting the home and safe play of course.

About: *At this time I do not offer reoccurring services.* Looking for pet care services? Look no further! Whether you need boarding, drop-in visits, doggy day care, or dog walking, I've got you covered. When your furry friend is in my care, rest assured they'll receive the same love and attention they get at home. I'm a dog owner myself, with two adorable pups, Buttercup and Dallas. They're both fantastic companions - Dallas loves to play, while Buttercup enjoys lounging around. But most importantly, they have a knack for adapting to your dog's preferences. I understand that every dog is unique and may require different levels of patience and care. No worries, I'm here to accommodate their individual needs. Here's what you can expect from my pet care services: Accommodating Environment: I maintain a pet-friendly environment with two kennels, plenty of cozy blankets, extra dog bowls, toys, and more. Customized Care: My goal is to provide a tailored experience for your dog. I've cared for various breeds, ranging from 10 pounds to 100 pounds. Each dog is fed separately, unless they are siblings and you're comfortable with them sharing mealtime. Home-Based Care: I work from home, so I'm here for the majority of the day. In the rare instances when I need to step out, it's usually only for a few hours at a time. Here's what you can expect from my pet care services: 1. Toy Preferences: Please let me know if there are any specific toys your dog should stay away from to ensure their safety and enjoyment. 2. Furniture Access: Are your dogs allowed on the couch and bed? If not, I'll make sure to maintain those boundaries. 3. Sleeping Arrangements: Where does your dog typically sleep at night? Let me know so I can provide a comfortable sleeping space for them. 4. Home Alone: When you leave the house, do your dogs roam free or are they put away in a kennel? I'll follow your instructions to ensure their safety and security. 5. Feeding Schedule: Please provide a breakdown of your dog's food schedule and the recommended amount. If your pet requires medication, kindly share the details of their medication schedule. 6. Home Care Instructions: If I'm coming to your house to care for your pet, you can either leave instructions through the app or provide them at your home - whichever is more convenient for you.

Camile P.

She goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving them extra affection. Anyone would be lucky to have Darian looking after their furry (or feathered!) family members.”
