“I am very appreciative of Emmet. He went above and beyond and took care of Bella. We were updated with Bella pictures while we were in trip. Definitely a great experience. I would recommend Emmet to all needing a wonderful place to board their dog…”
“Our dog had the time of his life with Matt and Candice!! They sent us tons of pictures and made sure he was well taken care of and loved on. We will definitely be repeat clients every time we need to leave town, they’re the best!!”
“Alexander was amazing! He gave frequent updates, lots of pictures and my golden, Scout had a blast with his golden, Archie! Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Amanda was fabulous with my pup and also with my fears of leaving her. She allowed us to do a preview visit and spent time visiting and listening to me. She answered ever text very quickly and sent several picture during the week. I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Amanda for treating our pup like your own.”
“Carla is absolutely amazing. Her communication is great, she responds very quickly to answer any questions and coordinate care. She cared for my cats like they were her own. We needed care during a move back to the States from overseas and she was so flexible to answer any questions ahead of time, coordinated meeting to pick up and drop off our cats, and cared for them for 2 weeks. What a relief and help during a very stressful time.”
“Tifaney was absolutely amazing. She is awesome at communicating and sent me many pics every day to show me how Majik was doing. She is quick to respond and extremely nice. Her children helped provide attention for Majik (she needs A LOT of attention) and she is definitely going to be my dog-sitter for all of my future needs. I can’t wait to have her watch my baby again because I know she will be in good hands and receive the attention and care that she needs. Me and Majik love Tifaney and are so blessed to have found such an amazing dog-sitter!!!”
“Amber & Lavar were perfect. Great communication, very accommodating of my schedule craziness and my dog’s issues (she had some meds to take during her stay). They are my first call next time I need someone to board my dog.”
“Ewok loved his stay with Season, he enjoyed playing and sun bathing in the big fenced backyard with the other dogs. We got photo updates every day. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Melissa is the best! This is the second time she’s taken care of our senior Chihuahua. I feel very at ease knowing he’s with her. Highly recommend! Thank you Melissa.”
“Jackie did an amazing job of taking care of my dog. She kept me informed and sending plenty of picture updates which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“Sherri did a fantastic job taking care of our little guy. We received multiple pictures and video updates daily. Would highly recommend and will be rebooking in the future.”
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”

“Kay did a wonderful job as always! We really appreciate her kind attention to our furry family. She’s very trustworthy and you can count on her to take good care of your pets while you’re away. Thanks again, Kay! See you next month. 👍”
“Haley is our go to sitter for our animals. She is kind, communicative, and adaptable. Will continue to use her in the future for our dog/car/fish needs. Highly recommend Haley!”
“Jemma is awesome!!!!! So happy I found her on here. She made sure to meet with me and my cat ahead of time, which made both of us super comfortable with her. She was so nice and friendly and took such great care of my cat while she was here, giving great notes and photos of him throughout her visit! She also went above and beyond asking if I’d like for her to bring my garbage pails back to the front of my garage. Very happy with her and her care during the visits and will absolutely use her again!! Thanks Jemma!”
“Bella was super communicative and helpful and made me feel super comfortable with leaving my dogs with her. She treated all 4 of my dogs like her own and spoke so sweetly to them, cleaned up after them, and asked questions and updated me when necessary. I will definitely be reaching out to her again if I need my puppies watched again, love her :)”
“I’m really hoping my other review went through for Abby as well, because this is the second time I used her. I rebooked because she was just so great and went absolutely above and beyond! My cat loves her!! He normally takes a minute to warm up, yet with her, he was curled up on her lap within 2 days! She is so good! Will definitely be using her every time I need someone. Thankful that I found her and chose her for the original stay! Thanks Abby!!”
About: In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience watching cats for family and friends. I am comfortable providing feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I will follow their routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away.
“My sweet cat loved staying with Carla! She had enough privacy to do her kitty thing and enough activity to keep her little mind occupied. Will definitely book again. Thank you!!”
“Riley was great! She responded very quickly, and our cat Thomas loved her immediately. This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Would book again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Meghan. We got to meet her for a face to face walk through before our trip and we both were instantly comfortable with her. We told her the cats were uncomfortable with new people and not to be surprised if they didn’t come out much, but from her very first visit, she sent us tons of pictures of them all swarming around her for pets. I was shocked how quickly they accepted her and welcomed her into the house. Communication was excellent at each visit and she went above and beyond not just to do what we asked but to actually take the time to love on each of the cats and even play with them with some of their favorite cat toys and give them treats. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely reach out to her again for all our future trips out of town. She was a perfect fit and when we got home, the house was in perfect order and our babies were all super happy! Meghan is definitely a 5 star sitter. You and your babies will love her!”
About: As a cat parent, I know how important your babies are. My cats are eight (and still babies, of course!). I've sat for cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. It can be scary when their usual beloved human servant isn't around, and I know how to connect with them in ways they can understand and appreciate to make those times feel more like home.
About: I have been practicing the fine art of cat whispering since 2018. Currently, I live with two adorable kitties. My love for felines borders on magical—I speak fluent "meow," chat with every single neighborhood cat I meet on the street, and keep a secret emergency stash of dream-treats in my car just in case a furry friend appears! ** Cats are creatures of habit and magic. I match your exact daily routine down to the minute so your cat feels like nothing changed. ** I specialize in extended stays! I provide consistent, loving companionship so your kitty never feels lonely while you explore the world. ** If your cat needs daily medications or supplements, I administer them with zero stress and maximum patience. From energetic kitten zoomies to senior cats who just want to nap in a sunbeam, I read feline body language instantly and always respect their boundaries.Every visit includes meticulously scooped litter boxes, fresh food/water potions, and a magical photoshoot of your kitty sent directly to your phone. 🔮 Whether you need me for a quick daily drop in, a weekend or a month, your familiar is safe in my hands!
“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, ranging from one cat, to a mother and her litter of kittens, to a pair of boys that were my absolute world back in my home state. Cats all have unique personalities and unique needs, and I am dedicated to ensuring their routine and environment stay comfortable and consistent, while offering comfort and cuddles- and respecting their boundaries, I encourage play that is engaging and fun while letting them get their cat naps in!
“Leah jumped right in to cat sit when we couldn't find a sitter at a busy time around the holidays. She was always on time and communicated with us often with pictures. Leah did an outstanding job and hope she can cat-sit again for us!”
“Bella was amazing with my cat! I adopted her from a traumatic situation, so I am picky with who comes around since she is still adjusting. Bella was so patient with her and was quick to respond to me when I asked for updates! I came home to a clean house and a happy little girl! Will definitely be asking her back when I need someone!”
About: I myself have a spunky 3 yr old border collie/shepherd mix. We have worked with a trainer to channel her high energy drive. Because of this, I have learned ways to overcome a lot of challenges dog owners face & how to build healthy bonds. With me, you wouldn’t be getting just a regular walk or play! We will learn cool things together & have so much fun while doing it 😎 In addition to my own current fur baby, I’ve owned two other pups as well as fostered back home in WI. I dog sit for friends, families, and neighbors. I treat your pups just as my own 🐶 I work M-F at home and have a very flexible work schedule as well as being completely free on weekends! I am able to do drop by visits and walks just about anytime you are needing! The same trust and care that my own receives is exactly what yours will too! I take great pride in ensuring all pups & homes are safe in my care.
About: I have helped train dogs for friends, family and neighbors! Love getting to know other peoples doggies and helping them get their energy out! Can’t wait to meet your puppers!

About: Hi, I’m Carrie! 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. For over 2 years I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating every pet like family. Currently, I’m home full-time caring for my sweet senior dog, Sophia (15 years old, living with Cushing’s Disease). Making sure she is comfortable and loved has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. Because I’m at home, I can dedicate all the time and attention your dog deserves. Here’s what you can expect when your pet stays with me: Lots of love & attention – every pet is treated like my own family. No crating (unless required by you or for very brief times when I must step out). Safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Experience with senior and special-needs dogs who may require extra patience and care. Regular updates & photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the same quality of care I give my own beloved Sophia. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. ❤️ I'm currently out of work to care for my senior girl, Sophia, that has had some complications with Cushing's Disease. Your pet will be under my full-time loving care at my home, or in your home. I offer both services. Your pet will only be crated when I need to step out momentarily. In my home, pets are part of the family! 🐾 I have a fully fenced one-acre yard where they can safely run and play, and when the weather’s nice, we’ll spend lots of time outside together. Indoors, your pup will be right by my side, whether that’s hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook or relaxing nearby. I don’t crate unless you request it or for brief times when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love so they feel safe and comfortable until you’re back.
“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”
About: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.
“Our first daycare experience with Erika and Erik went very well! Very friendly and attentive sitters. Our dog Bear seemed happy and cared for. They have a great place that is very inviting. I highly recommend them!”
“Our dog Greta was so happy with Jamie! She was flexible with our varying hours and very helpful throughout. We’ll definitely book her again next time we’re in Franklin. You can’t go wrong choosing Jamie as your pet sitter.”
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
“Cant say enough good things about Christian. She took care of Dobby like her own and was so accommodating with our schedule. I cant thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Spring Hill.”
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.
About: Hi! I’m a high school teacher who teaches culinary arts. At home, I have a golden retriever, Saffron and a Labradoodle, Leo. I live on 2 1/2 acres, one of which is fenced in and perfect for furry friends to run and play! I am a teacher and gone from 7 am to 3:30 pm, but my parents live next door and watch my animals when I am away. Growing up, my brother had a service dog who was part Great Dane and part Black Lab. He became part of the family! I think that’s what started my love for animals. Since college, I’ve had at least one pet. While in Culinary school, I worked long hours. For Christmas, I got my cat, Basil. She was at the door with a “meow” at the end of long days in the kitchen. When I began my career as a culinary teacher, I bought my first house with a back yard and almost immediately added my girls, Sage and Sketch to the household! I work full time as a high school teacher. but live next door to my parents who watch over my pets. They love them as if they were their own! I have an acre, fenced in back yard. My dogs love the country, running and playing in the back yard! They are house dogs, but love the chance to run as much as possible.
About: I have 5 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 4 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
“Katie is amazing! She made my pups feel so loved, they came home happy and tired from having such a blast! They wanted to stay longer to keep playing! She treats them like family and it made me feel at ease knowing that she takes care of them the way I do.”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals. I have had dogs most of my life, and became a cat mom over 10 years ago. They are more than just pets - they’re family! I will treat your loved fur one like my own. I have experience giving dogs oral medications and giving cats both oral medications and injections (insulin). I work a hybrid schedule so my days are super flexible! I can be flexible with timing as long as I have sufficient notice. I am happy to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I want to assimilate your fur baby’s routine to the best of my ability! I will follow your instructions with any specific guidelines or requests. I am not afraid to ask clarifying questions.
“Kassandra was awesome with our puppy! He was well taken care of and came home happy and exhausted from playing. He is a 16 week old lab and he loves to play! I was very blessed with a day off from puppy duty and would highly recommend her! Thank you Kassandra!”
“Melissa was pleasant, caring and watched our senior puppy Grover for about four hours so we could go to a medical appointment. Grover has separation anxiety and he's blind and partially deaf and Melissa cared for him well. We will definitely use again when the need arises.”
About: My husband and I work from home and would love to host your fur baby! We have a 7-pound maltipoo, Gizzie, who would love to snuggle with your pup in our bed. Our three cats are used to dogs being boarded in our home and don't mind the extra company. When dogs stay for overnight visits, they have breaks every 1-2 hours and receive lots of cuddles and playtime. Each day they can enjoy long walks in the neighborhood. I also do drop-ins and dog walks so your pups can stretch their legs when you're not around. I love sending videos and pics of your fur baby enjoying themselves and frequent feedback about how they are doing so you never have to worry about a thing! My husband and I work from home and are able to give your pup the attention it needs while you're away! We love on your pet and like to send lots of updates. I like to treat your pup like my own. We go for regular walks for exercise, have frequent potty breaks, and enjoy lots of time to play!
“Megan was so friendly! She was confident with my nervous dog and let me know as soon as she was settled! I didn’t worry about Penny at all and will not hesitate to use Megan again.”
About: **Due to extreme heat this summer I will use my discretion with shortening walks for your dog’s health** Current work schedule: I go in office 3 days a week but I can possibly I can flex my days. Available for services with that in mind! I need at least a week for new clients to schedule a meet & greet! I do not accept daycare & boarding without one because I require our pets to meet ahead of time so we can assess if they would be a good fit together. Aside from growing up with small dogs all around, I have solo cared for my senior rescue for the last 6 years up until his passing of old age. I have experience with both puppy and senior dog care, and am very careful with any physical concerns such as arthritis. I have experience administering oral medication both through treats and syringing food. I will love to hang out with your baby whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just coexisting - I’ve done it all. The best feeling I have is knowing I’ve given my dog a life full of love and enrichment, and I’m happy to help as you do the same for yours. I also have owned a cat and cat sit for friends and am more than happy to drop in on them and show them some love! I am definitely also a huge cat lady. I am very patient and understanding that I am a visitor to your pet and I will respect their boundaries while they are under my care. In case of emergency, I already have Battleground (Royal Oaks), Bluepearl (Mallory) and Banfield (Carothers) info saved and have experience with all 3 vets in Franklin. I currently have a full time job, but am generally off by 3-4 and my nights and weekends are pretty open! Some days I work from home so I’m around the area. I currently live in a 1BR apartment, have a balcony but there are paths and a dog park even within my complex, so there’s no shortage of areas to walk! I always keep my babies on leash.

About: What sets me apart is that, for me, it really is all about the animals. I don’t just stop by, check the boxes, and leave; I pay attention to what your pet actually needs. Whether that’s a longer walk, extra playtime, belly rubs, or simply some companionship, I want them to feel happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve even stayed longer or taken dogs on extra walks simply because they needed the exercise and attention. I have experience with breeds such as Boxers, Poodles, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls, and I’m very patient with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I believe calm, confident energy and clear communication are so important when caring for pets. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy giving animals a great experience. On walks, I don’t rush dogs. I let them sniff, explore, and enjoy themselves while making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with kindness and respect. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate most visit times and routine. Pet care also fits naturally into my routine because animals are already such a big part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel cared for. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks and drop-in visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give pets the time they need, whether that means a good walk, extra snuggles, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special preferences. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I give pets fresh water, attention, playtime, walks, and patience based on their personality and needs. I also enjoy sending updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I looked after and cared for my family’s two dogs as a teen and am 1 year into being a work from home dog dad for our English Golden, Archie. I can walk, feed, play and otherwise entertain your pets as I do my own. I work from home doing an 8am-4pm office job fully remote. I have many breaks throughout the day as the job is on call/as needed. I use this spare time to enrich our puppies life with exercise, playtime, and training. Weekends are usually free unless I am out of town. I have a fenced in back yard for easy outside time and a small neighborhood for walks. I have a 1 year old English Golden Retriever named Archie who loves to play and make new friends. I can kennel dogs at night if needed. Archie’s night time routine involves his crate which he prefers to go to at night for sleeping. On an average day we alternate between lounging by the hearth, playing frisbee/ball outside to get laps in, naps, and of course walks around lunch time and shortly after work. I can come to your house for check ins or walks and if needed can pick up/drop off your pet for boarding at my place.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. We owned multiple different breeds growing up and as an adult I’ve owned a Cane Corso and currently own an Australian shepherd. I have a very active dog so I walk him very early in the morning but then he works with my husband all day so he gets enrichment through his tasks at work. Personally, I currently work remotely and it’s extremely flexible so I am able to meet you and your pups needs! I can easily pop in and out for check-ins, feedings, medication, walks, etc. I’ve worked with many different set ups so I’m comfortable if you need me to just drop your pup back in his yard, home or even back into his/her crate after a visit.
“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”
“Jemma is the best! Shes so sweet and loving when it comes to Smoke. She is always on time, very communicative, and best of all, Smoke loves her. I will continue to book with her!”

About: Ever since I was little, I loved looking after animals big or small. I was the neighborhood kid to call if there was a need for pet care. I started at 10 doing as little as picking up poo from yards to growing up and staying over if the owner was out of town! I have experience with dogs, cats and yes fish at almost every stage of life. I have a long list of clients who would recommend me to look after your furry friend!! I am a part time employee at the moment so I have flexibility in my hours! Depending on the service needed I can make it work along with my schedule. I will be a local college student starting up in August but will continue to have an open schedule! I have a dog of my own and she is one of my top priority’s! When I stay at a clients home I ensure their furry friends have plenty of play and outdoor time. Walks are a non negotiable with my dog so I am very good with taking clients dogs out multiple times a day! Cats have the same priority, I ensure they have play time if that is up their alley or just a couch buddy! Every animal is different so I adjust accordingly!!

“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
