“Teresa was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a booking with little notice during the holiday season. She catered to my requests and was thorough by sending me her report as soon as she was done along with some photos. She’s a 5 star sitter and I would definitely book with her in the future!”


“Holly you are the best!!! I felt so comfortable with you and them and the way they just took to you! Especially Juni!! Thanks for wearing Marley out!!! I hope to have you as our permanent sitter if you’ll have us.”


“Hope did a fantastic job caring for and entertaining Barron while I was on a work trip. In addition, she made using the Rover app to extend the visits super easy for a first time user. Anyone in her area is very lucky to have such a wonderful resource for his or her furry friends!”


About: I have been around multiple dogs and cats my entire life. My mother raised my brother and I to have a love and soft heart for all animals. While I only have 2 cats myself(though if it wasn't for my boyfriend I would have way more), that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to help take care of your dog(s). I am currently unemployed, so your animal will have my full attention. Due to my cats being spoiled, I am unable to provide services at my own place of residence. I am currently unemployed, so your cat/dog will have my full attention just as they deserve. I've read some horror stories of pet sitters that weren't honest about how much attention they could provide, and I will never be one of those. While I can't take any pets into my own home because of my own spoiled cats, I will be available to be at your house full time or part time depending on your needs. If my being in your house full time makes you uncomfortable, I understand and have a Prius with excellent gas mileage if you would like me to visit multiple times in a day.

“Jessica did a fantastic job watching over our kitties while we were on vacation. She kept us up to date on the day to day stuff and sent lots of pictures. She really went above and beyond to let us know our fur babies were well taken care of and we had no worries. We would have no hesitations entrusting our kitties to her care again.”


“Katherine took care of our bunny, Basil, for a week while we were away. I feel like she really went above and beyond, and she is very communicative. I would highly recommend Katherine as an awesome sitter. Thanks, Katherine!”


“Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.”

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: As a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’ve personally experienced the nightmare of a bad dog sitter while being over 500 miles away from home—and I never want another pet parent to feel that stress. That’s why I’m here—to lift that weight off your shoulders and give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just keeping their routine consistent, I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable updates, safe care, and lots of tail wags! With being a stay-at-home mom to one, my schedule is very flexible and open throughout the week. I actually love having a reason to get out of the house, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I have plenty of time and energy to give your pet the attention and love they need. I’m home often, so your pet will never feel alone or overlooked! I don’t offer care in my own home, but when I’m in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any rules or routines they’ve set for their pets. Whether it’s feeding schedules, crate training, walk routines, or just their favorite way to play, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like you would if you were home. My goal is to maintain their routine as closely as possible to keep stress low and tails wagging!

About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! I offer a warm home where your dog becomes part of the family. I live with two friendly, playful resident pups who love meeting new friends—so your dog will always have companionship, social time, and plenty of snuggles. I accept dogs on the furniture (couches = cuddle central!), follow your pup’s routine closely, and create a calm, personalized experience tailored to their needs. Whether your dog requires daily medication, struggles with anxiety, or just wants a cozy, loving place to relax while you’re away, I’ve got them covered. While I don’t have a fenced yard, your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time on our property. More land = more sniffing adventures. I only care for a few dogs at a time so I can give each one the love and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, affection, and lots of tail wags! I live in a one level house with only about 4 steps to get into the front for any senior dogs. 📝 Things to Know • No fenced yard, but we play regularly • Dogs allowed on furniture • Two playful, friendly resident dogs • Comfortable with meds & special needs. • Flexible pick-up/drop-off • I care for only a few dogs at a time for high-quality, focused attention Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I plan my days around the dogs! I work from home and rarely gone for long spurts. We stick to a consistent routine that includes morning and evening meals, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Your pup will get plenty of attention, structure, and affection every single day, just like my own dogs do. I provide a calm and loving environment where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, meds, and crate use (if preferred). Dogs are welcome on the furniture, and they’ll have my two friendly pups as built-in companions for play and company. I keep the home clean, cozy, and supervised, so every dog feels like part of the family.
