About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, primarily for friends and family, as well as through fostering with local rescues and the Humane Society across multiple states. I offer boarding for short-term and long-term stays, including support for pet owners traveling for military deployment or medical reasons. Weekend and holiday stays fill quickly, while weekday stays often have more flexibility. I am attentive, reliable, and experienced with a wide range of animals, and I prioritize their comfort and well-being at all times. I’m available dependent on your schedule as I’m a student right now. Lots of time to play with your fur babies and I have a dog park nearby for the puppers. I have a spare room for separating critters if there are issues with multiple pets. I have many interactive toys in my home and enjoy trying new tricks with training treats. Adaptable to your needs!

About: I grew up with a dog and two cats, which of course means I have been taking care of pets for my whole life! I have pet sit dogs and cats (and also bunnies) for families out of town while home in the summers and have been trusted on many occasions to watch my own pets for my parents. I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of availability to be the best pet person ever! I am available throughout the day on weekdays to do drop-ins or go on walks and am a very active person so I won’t tire easily from your active puppy! I can easily keep up with your dog on a walk or keep it slow to get the older and smaller dogs their appropriate amount of exercise!

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog owner, so I understand that each dog has their own personality, energy, and needs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to every pup, whether that means energetic playtime for a young dog, gentle attention for a senior, or extra reassurance for anxious pups. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Caring for pets is woven into my daily life with the same dedication and attention I bring to my clients at my spa. Every six weeks, I step away to tend to my spa clients in California but in the meantime, the dogs and cats in my care receive an experience that mirrors that same level of luxury and attention. It’s like their own personal spa. From gentle play and tailored exercise to quiet moments of comfort and pampering, I ensure every pet feels loved, relaxed, and truly cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m visiting your home or caring for pets in my own, I provide an experience that mirrors the calm, attentive care of a spa. Each visit is personalized to your pet’s needs, playtime, walks, meals, and quiet relaxation are all tailored to their personality and routine. I create a serene, loving environment where pets feel pampered, safe, and cherished, so they enjoy every moment as if it were their own private retreat.

I had a great experience with Sean! Not only did he take great care of my dog, but he also went above and beyond by cleaning up an accident my dog had in my room and even tidied up the mess from a chewed up door frame my dog had caused while I was gone. My dog is also highly reactive towards other dogs/cars and I felt safe leaving my dog with him. He was very reliable, communicated well throughout the day, and clearly cared about my dog. I really appreciated the extra effort, highly recommend!

About: I have experience with my own childhood dog, Maisy (she’s on my profile picture!) and have been her primary caregiver everytime my mom has gone on a business trip. I have stayed overnight with a chihuahua for weeks at a time on multiple occasions, have a family friend that i sit for with 2 senior dogs and fish, and have checked in on a sweet calico every summer for the past few years! I have experience with various ages, sizes, and needs- I’ve even watched a gecko! I love animals (more than humans sometimes LOL) and the prospect of getting to make so many new pet friends is so exciting! I am known to be kind, caring, and always on time! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I am a college student, so when I’m not in class I’m very flexible. Staying overnight is easy as long as I can be on time to my morning classes :) I am very free on weekends and holiday breaks. I will make sure to ask for all the details required for me to provide the best possible service and comfort for your pet! I am very loving and adore providing belly rubs, playing fetch, and giving all the cuddles! I am also very observant and will notice when your pet needs more water, needs food, or needs to go potty!

About: Dogs bring so much joy to my life. I’m a dog and cat dad to four corgis and one cat, and I recently moved to Nashville. Pet caregiving is a great way for me to build community while helping others. I’m a responsible pet parent who understands routines and individual needs, and I treat every pet like my own, making sure pet parents feel at ease while they’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of availability for pet sitting. My schedule is quite flexible at the moment, allowing me to easily accommodate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Caring for a senior dog, a middle-aged dog, and two young corgis has taught me how to adapt care to each pet’s age, energy level, and needs, whether that’s outdoor play, structured walks, or calm indoor activities. I also have experience administering daily medication, as one of my dogs has stage 1 renal failure and requires consistent care to remain stable. I always adapt to each pet’s routine and needs, providing attentive, loving, and reliable care in both my home and my client’s home to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. I love playing with them and making them feel extra loved. I carry excessive amounts of free time during summer and I would love to fill it by taking care of animals. I will be able to work around other peoples schedules with ease. I have a fenced yard with 2 furry friends for them to play with. We can run around and play with balls and toys and I am very generous with the treats so they will feel loads of love. I will take them on walks and any other service asked for.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. From playful, high-energy pups to calm, cuddly cats, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them extra attention and affection, I make sure they feel cared for every moment you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love all animals. My goal is not just to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I currently am not working. I am available to watch your animals Monday through Sunday! I am available for up to 3 drop in visits daily between 6am through 5pm. If I do have any unavailability in my schedule it will always be updated in my calendar with notice! I will be offering dog walking & drop in visits for cats and/or dogs. I will make sure that your animals have food, water, pets, playtime & anything else necessary that you require while you are gone! For kitty’s I will make sure that the litter box(s) are scooped or changed out with new litter if need be while I am there!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have a sweet 3-year-old Golden Retriever of my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always meet dogs where they are—whether they’re energetic puppies or slower senior dogs. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work from home on a flexible schedule. So I have a lot of flexibility and time to give your dog my full attention. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of walks, cuddles, and playtime whenever they’re with me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Please let me know if you have any specific routines you would like me to follow!

About: If your pup loves belly rubs, long walks, goofy voices, and endless attention… we’re about to be best friends. I am all about making your dog feel safe and loved. I have always had a special bond with dogs, so you can rest assured your doggo is in good hands! I am currently a graduate student at Belmont University, but I only have classes Tuesday 2-3:45 and 5-7:15 as well as Thursday 2-3:45. Other than that, my schedule is very open and flexible! I am great at forming connections with dogs, and I am also very good at following directions. If there are any specific instructions or needs regarding your pup, that’s not a problem! I also have a car, so am able to come walk or take care of your dog, or even take them to a dog park.

Thomas is absolutely amazing. We have one puppy and one senior dog & they both returned home from their walks practically smiling, and definitely with their tails wagging. I enjoyed meeting Thomas and talking with him. He’s very professional, but also friendly and kind. My dogs love him and we all look forward to seeing him again soon.

Piper quite literally saved my life today! I had a last minute cancellation and she was immediately responsive and on the way. Went above and beyond as far as microwaving an egg for my finicky girl who will only eat if there’s a fancy topper on her food and all I had booked was a walk. 10/10!!! Even sent pictures and videos to ease my mind. Kind, personable, responsible, and responsive!🤩

We LOVE Avery! She is so gentle and kind! Avery is communicative, proactive, responsive, and clear. She thinks ahead, confirms scheduling questions, sends TONS of cutie pics, is super observant and lets you know of any atypical qualities in your pet, and is beyond flexible. The first time my dog, Sasha, met Avery, she acted like they had known each other forever! What a gift to make dogs feel so safe, comfortable, and at home! We enjoy using Avery on a recurring basis for midday walks, and I'm so thankful for her availability and flexibility in scheduling! Couldn't ask for more!!
