“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”

“This is the first time we had someone stay at our house to watch our animals and we were a bit nervous about how it would go. We couldn't be happier! Stephanie was very communicative prior to her stay and made the effort to stop by our house twice beforehand so that Bosco would know her. While we were gone she sent us daily updates and pictures so that we didn't need to worry. Bosco did so well with Stephanie! We thought he'd pout and hide out most of the time but that's not what happened. He stayed by her so much that she referred to him as "her shadow". Bosco was happy and rested when we got home from vacation. In the past, when we've boarded him, he's been stressed out exhausted when we get home. This was a great experience and I'd highly recommend Stephanie!”


“Robyn took great care of my two dogs and they had a wonderful weekend hanging with her at my home. Robyn’s dog also joined and was very friendly to my dogs, who can sometimes be wary of other dogs. I got lots of pictures and videos and was able to enjoy my weekend away knowing the dogs were getting lots of pets and snuggles!”

“This is the second time Maddie has stayed at our home and watched our energetic puppy. She stayed in touch with us and even sent us a photo. She is professional, kind, and loves our dog. She will be here a few more times this year.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals for over 18 years, and it’s truly something I love doing. Throughout that time, I’ve had the opportunity to care for puppies, senior dogs, and every age and personality in between. From daily walks and feeding schedules to bathing, playtime, and overnight care, I’ve worked with dogs in a variety of settings and understand that each one has unique needs. I’m also a dog parent myself. My 8-year-old rescue pup has taught me so much about patience, trust, and helping a dog feel safe and loved. Supporting her as she healed from past trauma has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced my belief that every pet deserves compassionate and individualized care. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you’re away, or someone to keep up with their daily routine, I will care for them with the same love that I give my own. I currently work full-time remotely in the Lebanon area, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be available throughout the day for pet care needs. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m often able to accommodate a variety of schedules. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide consistent, attentive care while keeping their routine as normal as possible. Feel free to reach out with your specific needs, and I’ll do my best to find a schedule that works for both of us. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel at home. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone who will care for them as their own. My 8-year-old rescue pup helps make our home a welcoming place for visiting dogs. Whether they want to play, explore, lounge on the couch, or simply enjoy the company of another dog, she’s great at meeting them where they are. Together, we create an environment where dogs can feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. Always loved them and gave them the best care possible when needed. I have walked, fed and groomed dogs to the specifications of other people. I wake up, take care of my animals first. I watch the dogs and listen when they tell me when they need something. I also play with them and give them plenty of love. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs. I do have stand outside to make sure one of them doesnt get to my cats food. But I do stand out there until they are done and ready to go outside. I also play with them and feed them and give them plenty of love. I will do the same to any dog that comes through my door. I will give them the best care and love I can amd to the owners specifications.
“Sophie is the best. I know this review will now make it harder for me to book her again because everyone else will be booking her. She loves animals and is a true kind spirit. Very responsible and clean. Her care of my house equaled the care of my dogs. She’s very communicative too. A++ rating.”

“Great interaction and my dog wasn’t even mad at me when I returned. Usually he turns his back to me after I’ve been gone a few days (while sitting on my feet so I can’t leave again). Jayla must have kept him happy because he is relaxed and calm.”

“Maggie did an amazing job house/petsitting for a long weekend. My girls were obviously well-loved while I was away, and she even washed sheets and towels upon her departure. Highly recommend!”

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 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.
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’m the proud dog mama of a 4 year old bichon frise named Jolene, and I trained her myself starting when I got her at 7 weeks old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and am comfortable giving medication if needed. As a full time teacher, I am available full time during the summer and on school breaks. I am also available on weekends and after 4:30 pm year round. Making your dog feel loved and safe is my top priority. I want them to feel comfortable with me being in their home, and I will do what I can to make that transition easy for them. I crate trained my dog early, and I know how important safe spaces are for dogs.
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!
“Nathan did a great job with our dog and taking care of the house when we were away. Our dog is sometimes slow to warm up to new people, but Nathan was a new friend right away. Highly recommended!”

“Tanner was great. We have 4 beagles and a cat. The beagles and cat really took to Tanner as soon as he got out of his car for our meet and greet. We will definitely be using Tanner again. He kept us up to date on the dogs while we were on our trip. Thank you Tanner”
