“Having Sophie take care of our pets and house while we’re gone is such a reassurance. She is great with communication throughout the stay and takes great care of everything!”



“Laura did an awesome job with my 3 pups. She took such great care of them. I was nervous about leaving the country and leaving my dogs. She sent daily pictures and communicated with me daily. Her son Archer is a great helper. He gave my dogs lots of love and attention. I would highly recommend Laura and will use her again in the future.”


“Stephanie was wonderful! I was super comfortable leaving her with my babies and my home. She is very knowledgeable about all types of animals and handled any issues with ease, while keeping me informed and updated. I'm so appreciative and will definitely use her again!”


“Rob was great! He sat for our 2 dogs and cat. He was very communicative, responsive, reliable, and sent updates and photos. You can tell he loves animals. The puppies were happy and the house was neat and tidy when we got home.”

“Samantha did a fantastic job with our dogs. She was attentive, quick at responding to us, and sent daily pictures. She even cleaned!!! Which was a fabulous benefit to come home to. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for over 20 years. The dogs stay in the house with us and we have have 2 fenced areas where they can run and play. Dogs sleep in our house with us uncrated, unless you request them to be crated at night, or if they exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior or create potty messes at night. I’m usually home as I am working on various projects on my property. It’s important to understand that I’m not “in business” as a dog boarding company. I sit dogs in my home because I love dogs and it helps me and my sons to earn a little extra. Please think of us as a family who is happy to help when you want a loving family caring for your dog in their home, instead of a professional dog boarding business (with paid staff, protocols, and more rigid safety measures in place). We run a home, not a dog boarding business. If your dog is friendly and not destructive you are welcome to request a stay for your dog in our home. With this in mind I have set hours to protect our time as a family, especially dinner time. Please request specific drop-off & pick-up times between 7am & 5pm. For daycare I try to be more accommodating to work schedules, so we can discuss the times that meet your needs and fit in with our home-life. I have one large fenced area and one smaller fenced area and 25 acres to walk the dogs. I spend time playing with the dogs and sometimes work on basic training skills. Depending on the dog, they will spend time in the house, or outside fenced areas, on the gated front porch, or running around the barn. I have a trail through the main fenced area and I also have walking trails on my property.

About: I have taken care of this family's dog for a little over a year. I also helped them with some other chores around the house. The dog was blind and basically deaf. This other family I have taken care of had 2 German Shepherds that were wild, but at the end of the day, they were super tired cause of how much they got played with. My friend's family has a small dog that was the queen of the house, but she had a blast and loved to snuggle. At your house, I always try to make it better than I found it. I try to clean up and make the house feel fresh when you come home to your furry friend. I currently do not work at the moment. I did rupture my Achilles tendon, but I will be out of the boot within a week's time. It will not hinder me, though, from playing with your furry friends. I am currently available to work Monday-Sunday whenever. When I am in your house, I will make sure to let your dog be outside as much as possible. No dog likes to be cooped up in the house all day, and neither do I. Your house will be taken of.

About: I was 7 yrs old when I got my first dog...had her until I was 22yrs old. Been around dogs most of my life....had several and at the present time I currently do have 1 german short haired pointer pup. I have also foster for the humane society. I'm available most anytime.... I do work full-time outside of the home. I enjoy meeting new fur babies and owners. I live in lebanon tn. I would sit in your home. I will follow whatever your schedule is for your fur baby and give them plenty of love. Thanks for looking.

“Sadie took care of my very high maintenance, often stranger weary dogs while I was out of town. She took the time to let them get to know her and was patient in getting their trust. My little dog also requires insulin twice a day by injection and she willingly took that on even when my dog was not very cooperative. I will definitely rebook her again.”


“Kai is amazing. He was attentive and caring with our babies. He gave them lots of love & snuggles. We will def be using him for our travel out of town. 100% recommend Kai! He sent us lots of pictures and daily multiple updates.”
