“Sophia was great walking our rescue pup and giving him some extra love. Finley is a terrier mix that can have some biting tendencies and she did very well with him. It's also nice to know that she has a terrier herself and has experience at vet clinics and shelters.”
“So grateful to have Becca walk Millie for me a few times a week. She always makes sure she gets in some fun playtime! I know Millie loves the days she gets to see Becca! She also is great about sending the cutest pictures which make my workday so much brighter”

About: I have grown up around a minimum of 2 dogs my entire childhood. Currently my family owns 3 dogs, 2 of which I trained myself and am now able to take them on walks off-leash comfortably. I have experience with large and small dogs and am ready to handle any and all doggy daycare duties. Also have experience with senior dogs. I am a college student here in Nashville missing my dogs at home and would love to care for yours and make dog-parent life a little easter! I’m working part time at a music venue alongside a part time internship position with a radio station. This means I have more time than most during weekdays to check in on your pups or take them out for some exercise. I am comfortable caring for pets inside of your home and would make sure your individual instructions and care needs are met for your pet!
“Oh my gosh Leslie was AMAZING! She was able to walk my pup last minute and kept me updated every step of the way! So sweet and a fast responder, she sent a ton of photos! Even my cat, who is usually a little shy, came out to greet her! Will absolutely be using her again!!”
About: Animals are a gift. As someone who has had dogs and cats for close to twenty years, I know how to treat all animals with the respect and care they deserve. Taking care of animals is a high responsibility that I know I am more than capable of providing. I am comfortable with all types of animals, and have experience with small and large dogs, cats, pigs, cows, and horses. I also have experience training puppies and with dogs with high energy rates. Additionally, I am always on time and think that every job, no matter the type, should be treated with the same professionalism, commitment, and respect. I have experience administering insulin and oral medications to dogs and am comfortable providing high quality care to your pet. Additionally, I am a nurse that enjoys taking care of people and animals. On days that I am at the hospital, my husband who works from home will take care of your furry friend! He is able to hang out with your pet at all times - something I’m jealous of! As a pet sitting duo, we offer a unique experience by being able to be with your pet at all times. We can't wait to meet your furry friend! :) I care for every animal with the same level of love and patience I would want my own dog to be taken care of. I think it is extremely important to provide a safe, loving environment for your pets, especially since they automatically give you their love and expect nothing in return. Additionally, I think it's important to respect everyone's space so I treat everyone's house with extreme care and respect when house sitting or performing a drop in visit.
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life! Never having grown up with pets of my own, I have been pet sitting/ walking since I was old enough to! I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and am very patient / experienced with elderly and young pets. As a musician, I get to create my own schedule—meaning I am very flexible and can adapt to your needs. If you’ll have me, I’d love to treat your precious ones with the same love and care i could my own someday :) I have a very flexible schedule at the moment! I can create my daily schedule based on your needs. I am organized and reliable, and have no problem waking up very early or staying late to make sure your pets are happy and safe! I am very gentle with pets, but also very playful! I recognize that they are often home alone for a good portion of the day, and that they would love a companion and a way to release energy! In my own home, I carve out time each and every day to properly stimulate my roommate’s cat so he doesn’t get lonely, and can get his energy out! In others’ homes, I do my best to appear as a familiar figure in the pets’ safe space. With cats, I take a gentler approach. With dogs, i let them sniff and then shower them with cuddles and playtime! And on walks, I am happy to walk them for as long as needed! I recognize that some dogs need a lot of exercise or stimulation, and with my active lifestyle it’s nothing I can’t handle.
“Allyson has by far been our favorite sitter!!! She has been checking in on my puppy since I first brought him home and she has been a big part in helping him get used to home. You can tell she absolutely adores him and cares for him as if he were her own!! She always communicates well, responds quickly, and has been accommodating in last minute bookings. Choosing Allyson for any of your pet care needs will definitely be a decision you won’t regret!”
“Riley consistently goes above and beyond in walking our dog. She communicates right away if she is held up in traffic, but is on time 99% if the time. She gives our energetic boy a generous walk each day.”
About: Hi! I just graduated from college and I’m looking for a fun way to stay busy and earn some extra money this summer. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also helped take care of other people’s pets, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m available for daily walks, feedings, and playtime—whatever your pet needs! I am available throughout the summer on most weekdays and weekends. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate you and your pet’s needs! Please let me know a few days in advance. Your pets safety and well-being are my top priority! I prefer to take of dogs in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure.
About: I’m very dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. I’ve spent a lot of time with my friends’ dogs, and have been babysitting since I was a teenager! Rover brings so much joy to my life. I’m also a barista, so I’ve got great attention to detail and will make sure to take great care of your pet. I work full time in-person, but I can come check on your pet during lunch, and I have a camera in my living room so I’ll have an eye on them all the time! And I have pretty open availability these days. We can definitely discuss your needs and work something out :) You let me know exactly what your pet needs! I’m happy to adapt to any special requests. Going on a long walk with a dog is one of my favorite activities.
About: I have owned animals from dogs/cats to reptiles and birds. Doing this to hang out with animals without getting my own as I travel for work right now. Message me to negotiate price, very negotiable. I mostly work from home but do go into the office every now and then. When I am caring for an animal in my home I will not be going into the office unless totally needed, my entire schedule can be devoted to your pet. I like to try and make pets feel comfortable, I know their owner leaving can be stressful and I want to try and mitigate that. I am not the type to feed them and run, I will be spending significant amounts of time with your pet whether that’s in my home or yours.

About: As a recent college graduate, I have taken care of family pets and friends pets since I was in Highschool! I have pet sat for families before and done quick runs to let them out! I am currently working with flexible hours and sometimes unexpected schedules! So when I have the time and would love to take care of your furry buddy! I am familiar with crating a puppy if that’s your preference. I love going for walks with the furry buddies and playing fetch and other games if you have a fenced in backyard!
About: I grew up around animals my whole life. I had a dog named gizmo who was a purebred collie for 13 year, who was my best friend. I understand taking the extra gentle care needed for dogs that are senior or have dementia. I like to talk animals and make them always feel safe. My dog that's currently still in Florida until time being with my mom, I used to sing too every day. I just moved from south Florida after 12 years. I have alot of down time currently. I do Uber and door dash for other side work. I am very flexible if you need me to do pop in visits during any hour, overnight stays etc. I understand the importance of having someone you can trust depend on while youre away from your fur babies. It can be a very stressful situation. I am good at communicating. I understand the importance of phone calls, texts, picture updates, and keeping you daily informed on your animal. I would follow through on your list of instructions and if I had any questions contact you, to make sure everything was done to ensure the highest quality care for your pet. I would treat your animals safety, happiness, well being like they are my own 😃

We are beyond grateful to have found Kylie! From the very first walk, she went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, safe, and cared for. Kylie is patient, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Our dog lights up with excitement every time he sees her, which says it all! Kylie communicates wonderfully, always sending detailed updates and pictures that give us peace of mind while we’re away. She’s punctual, reliable, and treats our dog as if he were her own. It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy and dedicated, and we feel so lucky to have her in our pup’s life. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Really happy to have been able to book Gabe. He was super sensitive to my senior boys, made adjustments when they didn’t want to do what I’d planned. Gabe prioritized what he knew was most important which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely call him again.
Amber was a life-saver when we had to make an unexpected, last-minute trip & needed her to help us with Malcolm. And he just loved her!! He's a very smart, insightful guy & he took to her immediately. This was our first time leaving Malcolm since he joined our family 1 month ago & she really eased our minds. Our guy has a TON of energy & she took him to the dog park every evening so he could release some of it & rest more easily at night! He was pooped.. and happy!! A great recioe for a 72 lb, energetic guy like ours! The updates & pictures were sooo great!! Thank you so much, Amber!!
