“Raven was fantastic with my dogs! They’re older and require special instructions, and she did not hesitate to take exceptional care of them!! I definitely recommend her!! Also, she was very responsive and attentive!!!!”
About: Ever since I was a young lad, I've had 2 cats that I still take care of to this day. I've also been taling care or my parents' dogs not super long ago. I always try my best to help your pets! I'm available at anytime! I should be available at anytime unless I note it somewhere in my profile. Also available at day and night anyday. I always try my best to follow the owner's instructions on how to take care of their pets no matter how I feel about them.
About: I have been dog sitting for 10 years. Not only will they get a walk or visit but they will also receive a belly rub and play time. I am currently available everyday for the next couple weeks and then I will be available 4 days a week. Once I start work again my days vary from each week. Dog walking is a passion because I love walking and will gladly have a little companion walk beside me. I will take great care of your best friend and make sure he is well exercised. If your dog is learning commands I will uphold them and practice the tricks with him or her. Message me to find out more information and hopefully I see you soon! I have and open schedule during the week Monday through Thursday and would love to fill my time visiting you cat or dog or taking your dog on a walk. Walks are very enjoyable for me, especially with a companion. I ensure that dogs are safe on their walks. They will walk on the side furthest from the road and always remain on leash during walks. I will also make sure that their immediate environment is free from choking hazards.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families animals throughout my life and can never get enough of doggy kisses! I have taken care of many pets on and off throughout my teen years and college and now that I am back in college…here I am! I am detailed, great with schedules, and understanding of special accommodations or unusual pets. I am in college part time, and am available to your pets all day Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, while Mondays and Wednesdays are before 9 and after 2. I have a fenced yard and understand keeping a proper schedule to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. I will always take special care of your animals in your home as well with toy pick up, wiping up messes, and scheduled outside play time that leaves them tired.
About: I've had animals of all kinds my entire life. I've had dogs of all sizes, cats of many kinds, guinea pigs, and even snakes. I've never met a pet I didn't love, and I'm known for unsocial animals warming up to me very quickly. I'm a huge animal lover and would love the opportunity to keep your fur baby company while you're away. I currently work full time in Nashville. Due to that, I have my availability turned off during the week. However, I am happy to to work together on evening visits for when I get home. I also have open availability during the weekend. My cat in my home gets the queen treatment, so I'd absolutely provide the same treatment for your fur baby. I provide all of the cuddles, pets, and play time to make for a happy pet.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for a majority of my life. I currently have three pointers and a 8 year old cat. Just like my animals are family, I will treat yours like family! I do this to supplement my income as I got laid off and I’m due to have my first child in November! I greatly appreciate any bookings I can get :) I do whatever it takes to make them happy. I can play with them inside or outside, weather permitting. I spend time training basic commands and let cats just cuddle on me for however they feel like it.
About: I've always been an animal lover. All my life I've had a dog in my home. I have 20 plus years of experience with animals and I've trained many of my own. I've always dreamed of having a huge farm with every animal living happy and free. I am an active person and I enjoy being outdoors with my dogs. Your furbaby will be safe and happy in my care. I have a full-time job as a nurse. I work three shifts a week with plenty of free time on my off days. I also have 4 kids that love animals more than I do. If I am not giving your furbaby love and attention for a moment, one of my kids will be. We go to the dog park near my house often. Your furbaby will be my #1 priority while in my care. All pets deserve love and attention. I have three dogs that are super friendly with other dogs. I also have three cats inside. I do not accept reactive dogs or dogs that are aggressive in any way.
“Mrs. Anita was GREAT! This was my first time leaving my Freenie with a stranger. When she came to meet Freenie, she was so loving and kind that I immediately felt comfortable with this arrangement. Mrs. Anita kept me informed through messages and pictures which put my mind at ease that my Freenie was being well taken care of. I am absolutely happy with the service that I received. I will definitely use her again.”
“Chloe was so incredible with my pup! She was super flexible with her time and had great communication! I really appreciate the time she spent with my pup 😊 I can’t wait to use her services again!”
About: Hi all! I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, but I officially started fostering 5 years ago! I have plenty of experience with senior pets, puppies/kittens, and disabled pets as well. I also have experience working in a vet clinic so I’m very comfortable administering oral medications and have experience handling reactive dogs and spicy kitties! I have 2 furry friends of my own that mean the absolute world to me. Neptune is a 3 years old Lab/basset hound mix I adopted in 2023 and Angel is my sweet kitty girl that has grown with me since 2017. I'm available 7 days a week now for any drop-ins, walks, and/or sitting as needed! I currently do not work as I am going back to school (online) full-time, so I have plenty of time for all the furry friends! While I don't have a fenced in yard, I do live in a very pet friendly and walkable neighborhood and will always ensure pets leashes are secure before all walks/outside time. I have a 3 year old lab retriever mix who is very friendly with all animals and an indoor only cat who keeps to herself, unless she wants cuddles of course! I have experience in puppy training, specifically with crate training and leash walking, from fostering pups in the past.
About: I absolutely love animals and taking care of them. Animals seem to know that I love them as well. I am punctual, mature, and responsible. My schedule is fairly flexible except for Thursday nights and Sunday mornings. I can do some last minute visits but usually will need at least a day notice so that I can come meet your fur baby. I always prefer to meet your fur baby especially if they are a dog since dogs can be very protective of their home when their owner is away.
“Tyler is awesome. She’s responsive and on time every time. Takes great care of Bella for me. I will absolutely be re-booking walks every week because it’s most likely the highlight of Bella’s day”

Raven is amazing! I use her for daily walks for my five year old fur baby Lucky. She is reliable and dependable and great with my pup. My work schedule can be pretty crazy sometimes, and she has been very flexible and easy to work with. Plus, she has a great nurturing nature and is very patient. I highly highly highly recommend Raven!
