“Our dogs absolutely love Brooke (Rachel)! She’s flexible, responds quickly to requests, and will make sure they’re well taken care of. Our dogs will wait for a while at the door after she has left hoping she’s coming back. They say dogs have a good sense about people and after meeting Brooke, as well as having her care for our pups, I can see us continuing to use her to care for our dogs for the foreseeable future. So glad we found her :)”
“Autumn took such good care of our two senior cats and was incredibly respectful of of home. She was quick to respond and left us notes daily about how they were getting on. She followed our instructions to a tee which allowed me to relax and know they were in great hands. Do not hesitate to trust her with the care of your pets. We will absolutely ask her back in the future.”
“Taylor was amazing! She was so attentive and went above and beyond. She treated our kiddos like they were her own. I was so worried to leave them behind but I felt 100% comfortable the entire time away from them because she did such a fine job.”
About: I’ve had cats almost my entire life, and small dogs for a few years as well, so I’m familiar with their personalities and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own. I take time to learn each pet’s personality quirks, favorite toys, and cuddle preferences. I pay close attention to details, routines, and aim to make every visit feel like a mini vacation for your pet, and peace of mind for you! I go the extra mile to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and never alone. I send plenty of cute photo updates as well!! Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I work part-time at home with a flexible schedule. I am a photographer as well, so I spend much of my day on my computer, which makes it easy for me to stay at your home and give your pets plenty of attention. I also co-parent three cats with my sister, so when I’m away, they’re well cared for, no worries there! They all have vastly different personalities, and dietary needs. This experience helps me understand the needs and comforts of pets in a busy but caring environment. I care for furbabies in my clients homes by following routines for feeding and providing fresh water, keeping the litter box clean, and offering playtime and cuddles. I offer gentle attention based on their personality, whether they want to play or just chill nearby. I keep an eye on their health and mood to ensure they stay happy and comfortable in their familiar space. I also send daily updates with photos or videos so you can see how your pet is doing. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities from shy, high energy, anxious, senior cats, to playful kittens. I’m also experienced with medication giving and different diets. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority!
“Second time went as smoothly as the first and cats were happy, also always willing to go the extra mile offering to water my plants which I really appreciate! I will definitely be a returning/recurring client, thank you!”
About: Howdy! My name is Pierce! I’ve been caring for pets of my own and of friends / family since I was 16! I’m available anytime of the day or night! I’ve taken care of rabbits, hamsters, turtles, tortoises, Great Danes / Pyrenees, Maine Coons, birds, nonvenomous / non-constricting snakes, rats and mice, and teeny fur babies alike! I can’t wait to meet your pets!! Just give me a holler! 😁 I have a redbone coonhound and an orange tabby of my own so I still care for animals every day, but growing up I lived on a farm with tons of animals! We had snakes and rats / mice as well! I’ve given shots to animals, and my old dog had to have arthritis medicine every day. I love every animal! I’m very knowledgeable with many different animals. I always let animals sniff me before I go in for a pet, and I’ve never met a pet that didn’t love me back!

About: I have three dogs, two cats, and a gecko. My pet care experience started within my family, including dog walks, playtime, training, and love. When I got to highschool I started dog sitting within my neighborhood and for family friends. Although my pet care experience id say goes beyond just cats and dogs considering I’ve taken care of a pig, a bird, snakes, bunnies, hamsters, bearded dragons… I think you get the idea. As a wildlife biology major, I have also had exposure to even undomesticated animals, and learned telling signals of animals. Overall, I confidently can say that I believe I am a very qualified person to take care of your pets! Currently, I am in college with a pretty difficult major, and an athlete on the girls lacrosse team. During the week days the most I can do is offer assistance in letting your pets out and doings stop by’s to feed them, but the weekends I am open to way more time with your pets. Obviously I have no pets with me in my college dorm, but at home I have a fenced in yard, the dogs and cats get fed twice a day, and I give walks daily to the dogs. I also try to play with the dogs considering the breeds my family owns are high-energy breeds and need that kind of attention, but I also have dealt with low-energy breeds and older dogs who just need some pets!
“Shelly was fantastic. She was very reliable and flexible with her drop in visits. My dogs were excited to see her coming. She not only took care of their needs (food, water), she spent time talking and playing with them as they were her own. She is very pleasant and I will definitely be using her again.”

I'm home for the summer and trying to work as much as possible. Currently, I have open availability to assist you and your fur babies! I provide personalized care by staying in your home, ensuring your pets feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's keeping them company overnight or taking them for walks, I prioritize their well-being and stick to your pet's routine. As a trustworthy and dependable person, you can feel confident that your home and pets are in safe hands. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving environment while you're away, so your pets get the attention and care they deserve.
About: I've taken care of pets as long as I can remember! I've always been a pets owner myself, but have also fostered dogs for friends, pet sit for family and friends, and fostered cats for local non-profit organizations throughout my adult life. Some of those animals have had special medical needs, as well. I have open availability to care for your pet and keep you updated along the way! No schedule restrictions means your pets gets care any time of day or night! I have over an acre of open area for walks and an open to pets environment inside my home, but can also offer crate care, if needed for less social dogs.
“Krystal was great from the start! As soon as my cats met her, they were all over her happy as can be. That definitely gave me a great first impression. She's very sweet as a person, and sent me pictures each day with updates on how they were doing. When we got home, both cats were so happy to see us but you could definitely tell they were taken care of! I highly recommend her and will use her more in the future. :)”
“Shelby was great! She took most excellent care of Sophia and the Dew while we were out of town. She really cares, and we enjoyed getting the pics from her care visits, we would def use her talents again.”
“Wonderful experience. Our doggies loved Marianne and so did we. Very personable and friendly. One of our doggies has vision issues and one is on meds and she took care of them so well. We had no worries on our trip we knew they were not only being taken care of but the were being loved.”
About: I have been in pet care professionally for approximately 12 years. I was a non certified vet tech, am a certified dog trainer, as well as a CGC tester and evaluator through the AKC. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for the last almost 10 years. I have worked with stranger danger pups, fear aggressive pups, non social pups, as well as leash reactivity. My passion is to not only help the pet parents but also to help each pup be the very best version of themselves. Since moving to Tennessee I decided this is a good opportunity for me to follow my passion; animals. My life revolves around animals; I will be doing pet care as a full time job. When I am caring for pets they become a part of my family. I believe in only positive reinforcement. Knowing how to read body language is extremely important.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, horses, you name it. Animals are underrated as members of the family in my opinion and I just want to make sure any animal in my care is treated like family. I take care of my animals (two dogs and a kitty cat) daily and they have a pretty set routine, I would be working my schedule around their routine and working on my days off. I’m happy to drop in and check on your babies and give them love and attention on long work days. I know how stressful it is to be at work knowing your baby is alone at home and I’m happy to help!

“I was a little nervous leaving my three dogs, especially my senior pup who needs extra care, but Tiffany turned out to be the best decision. She was incredible: patient, attentive, and truly loved animals. She gave my older dog the gentle care and attention she needs, while also keeping up with the energy of my two younger dogs (both 3 years old). I got regular updates and photos, which made me feel totally at ease. When I came home, all three dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have had Tiffany care for my pups!”

He cared for all kinds of animals: rabbits, hamsters, mice, birds, and turtles too! Whenever my husband and I are out of town he always watches over the house for us to make sure it’s not a complete wreck when we get back, and he’d send us pictures to keep us from missing our pets too too much while we’re gone. That’s really what made us think to tell him he should try to find a job pet sitting for people. He has a real knack for it!””

Heather M.
“We have known Heather for about 10 years, and she is someone we absolutely trust with the care of our dog, Cali. Heather is incredibly caring, attentive, and dependable. She has always taken great care of Cali, ensuring she feels safe, happy, and loved. She treats Cali like a princess, giving “Princess Cali" the royal treatment every time they are together. Our dog absolutely adores her special time with her “bestie” Heather; the moment Cali sees Heather, she completely forgets we are leaving and lights up with excitement. Knowing Heather is caring for Cali gives us complete peace of mind, and we couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter or friend for our sweet girl.”
