1. Mary & Valerie Z.

“Mary was a wonderful sitter to my 2 dogs. I booked her last minute & was very appreciative her willingness to work something out with little time. She was polite & gave updates with pictures of the pups while I was away. Highly recommend her!”


2. Teresa M.

“Teresa was great! Teddy warmed up to her right away. Loved that she sent pics and a video of Teddy throughout her stay. We will definitely use Teresa again!”




3. Brittany O.

“AMAZING! Loved the pictures and the piece of mind. I was able to walk away from my babies knowing they were in good hands! Thank you sooo much Brittany.”


4. Tara S.

“Tara was amazing! She followed instructions perfectly and exceeded my expectations. I got tons of photos of my happy girl while I was out of town and we will absolutely be rebooking with her. Thanks again Tara!”




5. Rhonda W.

“Rhonda is such a wonderful lady and our FurBabies fell in love with her almost immediately. She house sat, with our English Bulldogs, while we were out of the country. We never worried about a thing while we were gone. She sent us timely update and photos, which was so helpful for peace of mind with our senior Bulldog. She was very attentive to our requests and carried out the special care for our senior with no problems at all. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit with our FurBabies again soon.”


6. Aiden T.

“My pups took to Aiden really quickly. I appreciated being able to leave them with someone they trusted as much as I did. I had peace of mind knowing they were in good hands.”


7. Jesus G.
“I hired Jesus to watch my doggo, Baby. She’s 10 and stubborn, but she warmed up to Jesus quickly. His hours are excellent too. He offers a great deal of flexibility.”


8. Alice H.

“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!”


9. Kay M.

“Kay did a fabulous job of taking care of our three doodles and sending pics while we were out of town.”


10. Kayla F.

“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.”


11. Shelby B.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember, and it truly brings me joy. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I love making sure animals feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and small pets, and I’m also comfortable giving medications when needed. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend like they’re part of my own family! I am currently in college so I have a lot of free time when I am not in class. My schedule is very flexible and I can be there for your pet whenever they need! I am very responsible and your pets safety and happiness is my number one priority. I am very attentive and will make sure your pet is all good.


12. Amber P.


“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!”


13. Angela B.

“She did a wonderful job. Even gave my difficult cat medicine. Highly recommend”


14. Kayla K.

“I would give Kayla a 10 star review if it were an option. I hardly know where to begin... I met and booked Kayla to house and pet sit a few months before I left a 2 week trip to Thailand. When the time came for me to leave, things were a bit of a mess at home. Lightning hit my house 4 days before I was leaving and a friend who lost her rental home unexpectedly was moving into my basement apartment. Needless to say, life was a bit hectic around my place. Kayla was incredibly understanding and not only took great care of my house and my pets. She truly went above and beyond! She kept me updated with pictures and messages despite the 12 hour time difference and it was crystal clear that my pets were more than satisfied. They LOVE her and she very clearly cares about them as much or more than any other friend or sitter I've had in the past. I honestly wouldn't have enjoyed my trip as much had I Kayla not been here. She truly is a rock star sitter!! I look forward to having her back to sit again.”


15. Esther B.

“Esther was absolutely amazing and exceeded all expectations. She took great care of our old lady Ziggy. Her communication is fanatic!”


16. Ami H.

“Ami did a great job keeping my little pup. She gave her lots of love & I am grateful to her! My pup & I both have separation anxiety, but Ami sent pictures showing a happy dog!”


17. Darlene L.

“Darlene was fantastic! Unfortunately, she had to deal with several unexpected things that came up with my dogs and my house, but she handled everything perfectly. I was so thankful she was there. Just an extremely trustworthy and capable person.”


18. Rachel C.

“Rachel did a great job taking care of our fur babies. She stayed at our house for a week and kept us updated on our dogs and cat and sent pictures. She kept our house clean and did a few extra things. We will definitely use her again. She did a great job and we really appreciate it.”


19. Amber G.

“Amber was great with my dog and cat..she played with them. Gave them attention and hugs. I trust her with my pets. She was amazing. I will be using her again!!”


20. Jennifer A.
“Jennifer is second to none!! She watches our blind dog and cats and chickens. She loves them sooo much and will go out of her way to help us. She loves animals and loves to help people who love their animals. We are very picky about who watches our animals and she’s our pick! She’s honest, prompt and has such a willing heart to serve and love on fur-babies!”
