“Jess was a phenomenal sitter for our Stella, GSD. She took great care of her with so much love and patience and we couldn’t be more grateful. This definitely won’t be our last time. Highly recommend her! :)”
“Had our dog stay for 2 weeks while we had our baby, Kandace was amazing. Always accommodating and checked in regularly. She mad our dog part of her family! Would definitely recommend her for anyone who is wanting your dog to be taken care of as their own while you are away.”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“This was our 2nd time in 2 weeks using Jennifer to watch our 2 small dogs. Im not sure our dogs were ready to leave when we picked them up!! It's obvious that Jennifer & her husband love dogs, plus they have a fenced yard. We won't take our dogs anywhere else!!”
“They did an exception for our 50lbs dog and they exceeded our expectations. Very understanding and great communication. They were loving and caring towards our dog and kept us posted.”
“Savana took my dog on short notice and really made her feel like part of the family! Can’t thank her enough for her wonderful treatment of my dog and frequent updates during her stay! Would definitely recommend and plan to use her services again!”
“Roy was wonderful with my dog. I was initially worried since my dog has epilepsy, but Roy understands the condition and took excellent care of him. The place also has a nice backyard for dogs to run and play. Highly recommended!”
“We’ve worked with Miranda now several times—our dog loves the time and effort she puts into each stay to make our boy special! Already making plans to have her watch him again in the near future!”
“Johnathan was great with Mamas. She took to him from the initial visit, as if she had been with him before…lol. He took great care of her and communicated with her well being while I was away. I highly recommend him for your sitting needs!”
“Daphne watched our baby for us to go on a weekend trip to nashville. When we got back my baby didnt want to leave her lol I had to pull him. She's great. A real animal person and animal lover.”
“This is our second time booking with Leslie! Looking forward to continue to use her services. She's very welcoming and makes me feel like my dog is in good hands.”
“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”
“The way my dog disowned me when dropping him off this time to Lydia’s. It’s his 2nd boarding experience with her and he ran in her home so quick without looking back lol Lydia is amazing as always. Excellent timely communication with photos of your pup 😍, sweet fur baby companions for your fur baby to frolic with and she’s super understanding with last minute changes, for example my flight was delayed (twice now smh 🙈) and she’s made the process so much less anxiety inducing by offering grace in those moments. 💯 repeat customer if she continues to have my running late ass and my obese baby boy”
“Jennifer was amazing! It was my first time ever having my dog stay was someone that wasn’t a family or friend and I was really nervous for my dog Milo. She was very communicative and send me plenty and pics and videos in which my dog was always smiling in. She gave him lots of love and cuddles and made him feel at home which I appreciated sooo much. This made this a great experience for me and Milo and I plan on bringing him back for daycare since he had such a great time. She was very accommodating to his needs as well, I asked her to put ointment on a few patches he had and I could tell she was keeping up with it bc he’s fur looked so good when I picked him up. I can’t say enough about how satisfied I was with her service. Thank you Jennifer!”
“James took great care of Jaxx by providing pictures and updates while I was away. He kept me updated with feeding times and communicated quickly with any concerns. I will absolutely book with James in the future.”

Aaron was the calming presence both me and my pets needed for our vacation.”

Holly is such a gentle soul!!! I am blessed to have found her.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, cats, and dogs—which naturally led to a lifelong love for caring for and working with them. I pursued this passion academically by earning a degree in Animal Science and professionally by spending five years in the horse industry, where I gained experience in veterinary care, herd and barn management, as well as training and showing. I’ve also worked in veterinary clinics, where I developed strong skills in safe pet handling, basic first aid, and administering medications. In addition, I have experience with puppy training and basic obedience, and I’ve completed courses to certify my own dogs as Canine Good Citizens. Now settled with my husband, who is active-duty military, I enjoy providing calm, reliable, home-style care for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom to one baby boy who already loves his furry “brothers,” which means I’m home most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and enjoy adjusting to each dog’s needs—whether that’s dedicated playtime for high-energy dogs, structured walks, or a relaxed day with couch time and snuggles. Because I’m home, pets are never left unattended for long and are treated as part of the family during their stay. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed. High-energy dogs receive dedicated play and enrichment, while more laid-back pets enjoy a relaxed pace with plenty of affection and snuggle time. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family—kept safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Riley was absolutely fantastic with my two cats! My cats have never had an “outside of the family” sitter before and can be extremely anxious because of this. However, Riley’s care for them made them less anxious and one of my cats, who is very afraid of people she doesn’t know and will hide, actually came out each visit and let Riley pet her multiple times! She also sent updates and photos of my cats, which I really appreciated. Riley is an amazing sitter, so I highly recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs!”
“Ashlie was a great sitter for me! She was extremely communicative, punctual and very good with my dogs. My dogs are like my babies so it is hard for me to leave them with a sitter. Ashlie made me feel confident in booking her again if I ever have to leave!”
“Nevaeh was a lifesaver for our family! We decided to take a last minute trip and I was having a hard time finding someone to watch our cat. I messaged Nevaeh and she answered me pretty much right away! She was very easy to communicate with and did an amazing job taking care of our cat. Would definitely work with her again in the future!”
“Leslie was an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of our kitties and she was super communicative. She also sent loads of photos, which I loved seeing every day. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾

About: I've taken care of my own dog for the past 8 years, but before that I was raised around dogs and other animals. My grandparents and uncle always had multiple dogs for hunting, so I am very comfortable around and them and developed a love for dogs at a young age. I have dog sat on various occasions over the past 10 years, and I would love to continue to do it while I’m on the job search. I have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the week since I am pregnant and out of work for the moment, so in most cases would be more than willing to try and work something out. I am currently living in a house with my own dog so I would rather not be doing home services on my end but it is possible for well behaved dogs since my dog is very friendly.

I’m happy to follow any care instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while visiting my home.
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.

This made this a great experience for me and Milo and I plan on bringing him back for daycare since he had such a great time. She was very accommodating to his needs as well, I asked her to put ointment on a few patches he had and I could tell she was keeping up with it bc he’s fur looked so good when I picked him up.

We will def be using her services in the future!”
