“Emily was great! She responded to my last-minute request after another sitter canceled on me. She runs a doggy daycare and knows exactly what she’s doing! Wilson was well cared for.”

“Margaret did a great job watching over my dog while I was out of town. She was polite and flexible with the schedule and sent regular updates. Would book again if needed.”
“Katie was so sweet with Murphy, she graciously let us do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he and Margot were buddies (they got on famously), and was very communicative about his time there, and was diligent in administering his twice daily medications. She was flexible working with our drop off and pick up schedule and I look forward to booking with her again if the need arises!”

“My pup had the best time with Madeline! He came home happy and sleepy and enjoyed lots of walks and cuddles. He gets anxious when I board him and Madeline did such a good job making sure he was cozy.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Aubrey was amazing with our corgi Hazel. She gave us frequent photos and Hazel seemed to have the best time! We will definitely use her in the future!”

“Julie and Josiah were wonderful! Their dog Nova is super friendly and played so well with our golden. They kept us informed on how things were going, sent pictures and made the overall experience seamless. We look forward to booking with them again!!”

“I must say this was the best dog sitting experience I have had. Austin was wonderful. His home was clean. And my dog is a big dog so there was plenty of yard for my dog to run and get exercise. As well as plenty of space indoors. He sent pictures and kept me updated on how Nova was doing. Very friendly and will definitely be using his services again.”

“John was very accommodating and worked with us. I was a little nervous about leaving my (new) dog (Brownie is a shy dog at first) with anyone but I felt comfortable that he was going to do well and both him and Brownie ended up hitting it off! Highly recommend!”

“Trey is extremely perfect! We meet and greet first, and you will find out his home is extremely clean and tidy. His dogs are also extremely friendly and lovely. My dog is having a great time there and already rebooked our next stay”

“Nathan and his family were incredible. We were so relieved knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were out of the country for over a week. Nathan sent pictures and updates daily. They were so kind to help with some medication delivery and also extra generous to feed our elderly pup some special meals when she didn’t want to eat much. We appreciated their flexibility with pick up times after our flight was delayed. Can’t express our gratitude enough! Would highly recommend Nathan to anyone!! Thanks so much again!”


“Laura did a wonderful job taking care of our pup while we were away for the weekend. She treated him as one of her own and was very communicative in sending “pupdates” (videos of the dogs playing in her awesome fenced in yard or cuddling on the couch). Your dog will be in very good hands with Laura - I highly recommend!”

“Mokee was so excited to be back at Megan and Kerry's! It made me feel much better for his first overnight away from family. They not only made sure Mokee was well taken care of but provided me with updates and pictures to make sure I wasn't too stressed. 😃”

About: We are a pet loving family who recently lost our family dog. We are hoping to help fill the void of losing our dog by loving on yours! We live in East Nashville and have a large, fenced in back yard ready for play time and potty breaks. We do have 2 younger children so we'd just need to confirm your pet is good with kids! I work from home 2-3 days per week and can arrange my schedule to be home with your pet, if needed. We can chat about how many hours and times per your dog needs to have potty breaks. We can offer walks, lots of playtime and cuddles! We have a large, fenced in back yard for the pets to run around as much as they'd like. We allow pets on furniture, if you want, or we can crate them when not home and keep to your schedule and preferences as much as you'd like!
“Asia was a WONDERFUL sitter for my little baby—who can be a handful! She was so so forthcoming with video updates and was so nice even when I profusely apologized for his restless night. With Asia as your sitter, you’ll always be in the know. I would choose her again and again and again.”

“Michelle and Bryce are THE BEST. We had very unusual circumstances of needing longer term care for our dog and cat and Michelle and Bryce have truly truly taken them in as their own. They have lavished them with love and affection, as well as taken care of all their specific needs and quirks. They are communicative, honest, encouraging and so so effusive about their love of our pets. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for them in this season of our lives. And I deeply respect how they walk through the world with care - for one another, for the animals, for us. Thank you Michelle and Bryce!”

“I have a very skiddish cat so for me to leave her with Hannah and know my cat was comfortable enough to come out and get some attention while I was gone was very reassuring! My cat was well fed and well loved while I was traveling and I'm very appreciate to know I can trust Hannah to do it again!”


About: I have grown up with and around cats my whole life! I have had multiple cats of my own and have experience with kittens to senior cats, providing medicine, and any special care! I genuinely have such a heart for cats at this point I feel like I am one. I would love to care for your sweet pets :))
“Whitney was incredible! This was my first time being away from my cat since I got him, so I had a million questions and lots of little things to note. She handled everything I asked—and more. I was nervous leaving my cat with a stranger, but she completely put me at ease. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“Ellen was so great with our fur babies! Being gone for a long period of time can be nerve racking, but I trusted her with them ! She sent great updates, and they seemed to be comfortable with her right away! Will def book again!”

“Jessica was great at communicating and providing updates! She was very thorough and did a fantastic job of taking care of the cats while we were gone. We definitely would rebook with her again!”


“I really appreciate Bae Lee sitting our cat Little Boy at the last minute after a no-show by another sitter. I was really anxious about using this service after that no-show but Bae Lee came in everyday and did her check-ins with Little Boy so that I knew he was secure and well cared for and that really put me at ease. I will definitely be using her services in the future.”


“Rachel did a great job with drop-in visits on my cat! Very punctual and commutative sitter. I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Heather was wonderful to work with! She took Exceptional care of our 3 cats! It was clear that our guys were well loved and cared for while we were away and our house was a neat as a pin! 🩷”

About: I grew up in a dog loving household, and as the oldest child, had a very helping hand in the care and training of our dogs. We now have a Goldendoodle named Truman who lives full time with my parents, but loves to come for lengthy visits when they travel. My boyfriend and I have a dog together - Nala - who is a sweet Shepsky mix. She can be an anxious girl, and doesn’t always love other dogs, so I have gained a lot of experience in helping her get comfortable around strangers. I also have experience with all ages of both cats and dogs (big and small). Entrusting me with your pet means that they will safely receive cuddles and playtime and you will receive lots of pictures and updates. I am a nurse by day, but have been cutting back on my hours. On my days off, I am extremely flexible. My schedule reflects the days I have available for a drop in or to walk your pet! At this time, I will be caring for pets only at your home. Our dog takes a lot of warming up to other pets! I am open to having the pets in my car for a trip to the park or a walk or hike!

“Mary was great and I would definitely recommend her and use her again! She watched my cat and my fish and was very communicative and friendly throughout the process. She was also very understanding and sweet with my cat who has a unique personality.”


“Sandra is so sweet and an amazing sitter! I felt at ease being away from home with her checking in on my baby and she sent lots of cute photos and videos of my little munchkin to ensure that he was well taken care of! Highly recommend!”


“I can't say enough about what great care was given to my cats, myself and my property. One of my cats is diabetic so I needed twice a day scheduled visits. Riley was great! The communication was outstanding. I came home to two happy cats AND Riley had taken the time to clean up any cat messes, including washing their food dishes. I am so thankful and will definitely be using them again.”

“mercy is AMAZING!! She spent quality time with my pets& i could tell they were loved while i was away:)) she is also super sweet& responds quickly. she also worked with me when i made it back to my babies a little later than anticipated. you won’t regret hiring her, & ill be recommending her x1000!!”

“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”

“This was our first time having other folks watch Clemmie and we appreciate the care and photos! Megan and Kerry have a great set up, and our pup had fun playing! Excited to have her go back for more fun.”

About: I am kind, caring and affectionate and I will respect your rules. I have been a pet owner for over 25 years. I have also been involved in caring for and rescuing many pets over the years. This has been my great joy. My home is pet friendly and pet safe. I understand how it feels to leave your beloved pets and I know how much it means to know that your sweet ones are feeling happy and well loved while you are away. I enjoy sending my clients pics of their pets during their stay. Providing secure accommodations and a fun place to stay is paramount. This is my absolute purpose, goal, and pleasure. Pet sitting is my only job. I am home all day. With your approval, your dogs will be free to enjoy inside or outside. I have a secure privacy fence and a pet door for easy access. Of course, if you prefer a more regimented potty break schedule and time outside, I am happy to oblige. I allow dogs to make themselves at home. Sitting on furniture is A-okay. (as long as you approve.) I will certainly respect your rules. I like our dog visitors to be comfortable, feeling safe and welcome. I have a ChiWeenie; who sleeps A LOT and keeps to herself mostly; however, she is friendly. I also have a very friendly and playful Jack Russell/Beagle mix who enjoys company. My yard is secure and fun. We also have patio furniture they can lounge on. I keep our upstairs access gated. Of course, I will follow your instruction in regard to their sleeping. I am happy to do a “meet and greet” prior to your scheduling.
“Couldn’t be more thankful for Paris!! Traveling for work and was looking for daycare while I was away at meetings. Saw Paris had a lot of recurring clients and now I definitely know why! So kind, accommodating and communicative during the entire process. Have a young, little guy and he made him feel right at home. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Jonathan and Saori are wonderful caregivers for dogs! Our puppy was extremely well looked after, and calm and content when I picked her up. I trust them completely and look forward to using their services again.”

“Robin was so great!!! She really made sure that Thelma got all of the care and attention she needed and went the extra mile to ensure that Thelma got the right medical attention she needed when the time came. Any pet in Robin's care is very, very lucky.”

“Margaret was wonderful with our baby, Lily. We got photos and a good report on the day. Handling over Lily to Margaret felt natural and i could sense her expertise with animals just by handing off the leash. Very happy.”

“Katherine was great, she was so nice and Benny seemed so happy and relaxed after he left her house. She took him for a walk, and sent updates and photos. I highly recommend her!”

Daria was always willing to be up early to let me drop off Mack on the way into work and grab her on my way back from work. I genuinely felt like Daria loved Mack as her own and always felt as ease when Mack was with her. She sent me plenty of pictures throughout the day and now Mack has a new best friend, Boone.

I can make most visits work, even with last minute notice! Late mornings to early evenings preferred, but I can be flexible. I will always be respectful of your things and leave your home just as I found it! I have experience with senior dogs and am comfortable administering medicine if need be.

About: I love caring for animals and discovering their unique personalities. My whole life I’ve always had a cat or dog living with me, whether it be mine or my roommates.

About: Hi! I’m Lexie, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to my German Shepherd, Bella. I’m extremely selective about who I trust with her, so I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like family. I’ll give your pup the same love, patience, attention, and care I give Bella. Any questions or concerns send me a message 💌 I’m a singer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Since my work isn’t a traditional 9-to-5, I’m able to easily fit walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pup into my day. I also plan ahead for studio sessions and other commitments, so your dog will always receive dependable, unrushed care and attention. I live in a clean, comfortable townhouse apartment where pets are treated like part of the family. Although I don’t have a private yard, there is a park and walking path right next door for frequent potty breaks, exercise, and outdoor time. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any safety instructions provided by their owner. I also have a very friendly German Shepherd named Bella, so boarding pets should be comfortable around other dogs. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels safe and gets along well!
“Teresa was great with the pups. She kept me updated on their daily vacation and contacted me with any questions! Would definitely book with her again.”
