“Rhonda is wonderful! It's been nearly a year and a half since we've gone away for a vacation or long weekend. Our last pet sitter moved away, and we're kind of picky when it comes to someone watching our babies. We knew we had found a gem when our 2 girls who are shy and standoffish went right up to greet Rhonda when she came out to meet us and our dogs. She kept us updated while we were away, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves without worrying. We already have two more stays scheduled with Rhonda and hope to add more!”
“I love when Paula stays with my Boston Terrier (Frank.) I come home to a calm sweet dog who is played out and has been loved. Paula takes super wonderful pictures of Frank happy to be with her. Paula is the best!”
“Caitlin is a reliable and caring pet-sitter. She's friendly and great with my senior special needs wiener dogs. I'd recommend Caitlin to watch your pets in house or as a drop-in.”
“Rachel was amazing and all my babies loved her so much. Had so much fun and sent me some of the cutest photos. Will be booking again, the stress of leaving my animals was lifted with her.”
“Kayla is so wonderful!! She took great care of our dog and made me feel at ease during our trip. I can tell she genuinely loves dogs and that makes all the difference! She stayed on Roxy’s routine and made sure she had everything she needed. I am so thankful to have found her!!”
About: I have 4+ years of experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m an animal lover who just wants to be surrounded by them as much as possible. I can train as I’ve had 3 dogs myself in which I’ve pretty much trained all 3. I am doing online school right now and have a bunch of free time to take care of the pets in need, but would prefer weekdays. I have a fenced yard with PLENTY of room. Very spacious living space where they can roam if wanted and just to have in general.
“We have used the same dog/house sitter for 7 years, she had recently started a family and no longer does this kind of thing. We were so nervous about bringing someone new into our home to watch over our fur babies. Alice was great- the moment she came in to meet the dogs for the 1st time, they took minutes to get calm down with her (which doesn’t even happen with family), and we immediately knew they were in good hands. Our home was just as clean (if not more, because she mopped when she didn’t have to ?) when we came home and she kept us updated with photos and texts the whole week. We will definitely be using Alice for our next trip! Thank you again!”
“Ami was so great with all of our critters!!! She was very flexible, willing to do a meet and great and a trial drop in, to make sure our babies were comfortable with her before keeping them for a full weekend. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone!”
“Brittany did a great job and the dogs loved her, which is most important to me! They were very well taken care of and I’ve never had a dog sitter leave the house so nice either…such a huge bonus!! I’m glad we have our next trip booked with her already!”
“Charity was so great with our 2 80lb dogs. She knows how to keep them calm yet happy and we came back to lots of tail wagging and excitement. She was very flexible with our departure timing and was very communicative while we were on our trip.”
“Amber is awesome! Took great care of our two Labs while we toured downtown Nashville. We we’re traveling cross country by RV and Amber was flexible watching them at our RV campsite. Good communication and pictures. We are having her pet sit again while we are here. Would recommend her to others!”
“Susannah was great! We have some pretty spoiled pets and a schedule for them that can be a little demanding... plus a dog that's on a ton of medication. Susannah followed all of their routines, sent us pictures and updates. Stayed in communication with us and we couldn't have asked for a better house/pet sitter. Would recommend and would definitely have her here again!”
“Thank you so much, Kayla! You were there to help us get our precious dog from the vet to the hospital while dealing with my chemo brain. You were there to listen and concerned for our dog. Wish you only the best in life. God bless you.”
“She did great! Very communicative, sent updates and pictures throughout the night which I really appreciated. She also took the time to meet Delta before our booking, so that she would be more comfortable the night of.”
About: I have volunteered and fostered dogs for a few years. I have three pups of my own and am excited to start a new journey of caring for dogs when their people need. Currently a part time nanny after teaching for six years, so I have plenty of time to play and walk with your pets! Drop off and pick up times unavailable: Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:30am-1:30pm I have three sweet dogs to play with yours if they need a buddy. They are also not allowed upstairs, in case you have a senior dog or a dog who needs peace, your pup can have space to themselves. We have a community dog park if you're willing to let them use this (usually kept and empty). I also give lots of walks and snuggles! I am good with following a feeding and medication schedule. In the summer, we put up our temporary fence to allow for outdoor pool time!
