Lauren went above and beyond today! My keys weren't accessible at my house so she drove all the way to my work and grabbed my other set, just so zig could get her walk in. She's truly the best!

Rhea is such a caring, responsible person. She is great with dogs of all breeds and treats each as if they are her own- giving them plenty of exercise, socialization and love! I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with her while I'm away and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for a four-legged family member.

About: Hi there! My name is Grace. I was a dog owner for a long time, and now I'm hoping to meet some new dogs and help you out in the process. I love to jog, and would be happy to take your dog for a run. I love to play fetch or whatever your dog's favorite game is. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm trained as a paramedic, so I'm responsible and cool-headed during emergencies. I love all dogs, but rescues and those scrappy-looking mutts hold a special place in my heart. I have experience with larger breeds as well. There's no dog too big or small for me! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can devote as much time to your animals as you need! I am available on short notice. I love to stay active, so I love going for walks or playing with animals. I live right across from a park with tons of space to run and play.

We would be lost without Claudia! Our goldendoodles are absolutely in love with her and so look forward to her visits. One of our pups is a bit reactive and the way Claudia handles her is expert level. Our cat is smitten with her as well. Your pet is destined to make a new best friend!

Olivia has cared for our dog multiple times and continues to be our first pick when we need a dog sitter. She enjoys doggos of all breads and is a natural friend to all things fur with her playful spirit and energy. Our pup was spoiled by Olivia with walks, frisbee play, lake swims, and socializing with other human friends (confirming with us before hand). We enjoyed seeing live photos and videos of all the activities they did together. Olivia will treat any pet like her own and will provide that extra love and attention all pets deserve while we man-beasts are away. Our pup now requests Olivia when she sees the luggage bags come out.

About: Yes, I am the person greeting your dog first. I can't help it! I've lived with and cared for all kinds of dogs, from pugs to pitties. I looked after an 17 year old hound dog, and have most recently been enjoying the adventure of raising a rottie boy from a pup. I've done all manner of clean ups, managed medicine schedules, and walked at every pace you can imagine in any weather you can imagine. I'm keen on helping pups meet their needs, be it exercise, play, training, or even a lil' hip massage. I'm in! Caring for my own pup helped me to heal from workplace burnout, so I'm working to make pet care a larger part of my life. That said, I am working part-time and have a lot of flexibility, particularly when I have ample notice or a consistent schedule. At the same time, the nature of my work now means I'm sometimes available on short notice, too. When caring for your pet in their home, I'm always happy to follow any instruction you have, and I'm big on leaving no trace that I've been there. I'm comfortable being captured on your pet cam, and will always triple-check that I've adequately secured both your pet and your home when leaving. Should your dog come to stay with me and my pup (2.5 yrs), they'll be in a two story home with a fenced in yard. I have a medium and large crate on site, as well as a small soft crate, and a variety of gates and beds/cots. In instances where solo time is preferred, my pup can often go for a slumber party at his uncle's place if needed.

We've been relying on Laurie to help care for our 2 dogs for YEARS whenever we needed a hand. We tried to kennel our dogs once and they hated it. Ever since then, whenever we have a trip out of town that the pups can't join us on or if we have a long day at work and need someone to let them out, our first call is always to Laurie. She's always kind and gentle with the pups and can handle any special request we throw her way (medication needs, walk schedules, etc). We can't recommend Laurie enough! If you're looking for a trustworthy partner in pet care AND a new best friend for your pet(s), look no further!

Rachel has helped take care of my pups (all 7 of them!) for close to a decade now, and has done a phenomenal job every time. She is the kindest, most caring, sweetest, hardest working, most animal loving pet sitter anyone could hope to find, and will always put your pet’s health and wellbeing first and foremost in every decision she makes. Our dogs LOVE going to see their “2nd mother”, as they’re always treated as members of the family every time she takes care of them.

About: Hello I Am a loving dog and cat mom, I currently foster for Nashville humane society. I have always had a pet in my home ever since i was a small child i love all animals.I prefer dogs because they are more playful but cats are also a lot of fun. I have worked with local trainers to learn new techniques on potty training and behavior and i am good about showing positive reinforcement for good behavior. While in my home or in yours, or even out for walks, i will treat your furbaby no different then i would treat my own. With all of the same love and care that you would give your own pet. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
