“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”
“Thank you, Odette. We sure appreciate all that you do. The updates and pictures are wonderful. Makes us feel better to know that Ozzie is well taken care of. We will always call on you when necessary thank you.”
“I could not recommend Lisa enough! One of our dogs is considered special needs, so leaving him always makes us a little nervous. Lisa was so amazing and took amazing care of both our dogs. We got daily updates with pictures and videos and amazing communication. Our dogs had a blast hanging with Lisa and her family as well as her 2 dogs! I’m not sure they wanted to leave when we came to pick them up!”

“Allison was amazing! She kept us updated on Benny with plenty of photos and videos, and Benny looked like he had a blast. He came home exhausted from playing with all his new friends! He seemed right at home. We will definitely be reaching out to Allison for future boarding needs!! Thank you!”
“Teresa did a wonderful job taking care of my dog in her home while we were on vacation for the week. She was well fed and had many opportunities to play in their backyard. I received daily updates and communication was great. My dog was very happy and I could tell she felt at home away from home. Thanks Teresa!”
About: We currently have 3 dogs and they are very much considered family in my household, and always have been. They truly are man's best friend. We already have three dogs, and we both (My wife and I) work from home! We would have the same routine as our day to day. Draco and Bronco love being outside so they chill there most of the day, if the weather permits. Lula can usually be found at her mother’s feet. They all sleep inside, cozy in their beds, or ours. If they have to be inside because of weather, they just lay around throughout the house.

“Erin and Joseph are amazing!! We don't normally board our GSD but had to do so 2x in the same month as the locations we were headed were not pet friendly. Our girl loved them, from the meet and greet to both stays, she was well loved and cared for. Erin and Joseph sent daily pictures of her playing with the other dogs and having a blast.

“Rachael was so kind! We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease. The photos meant so much to us. It’s such a gift knowing your fur babies are in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kyla was absolutely wonderful. She took great care of our cats and even helped keep an eye on our chickens while we were out of town. She was always quick to respond to messages and sent us a ton of photos along with her daily check-in review. My wife and I were able to spend our vacation at ease knowing that everything was a-okay back at home. Kyla will be our go-to sitter moving forward.”

About: I've cared for many different friends and families cats since high school. Now I have 5 cats of my own. My wife has helped to teach me her cat whispering ways. We foster mother's and their new born kittens and volunteer at a local shelter
“Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Kayla was amazing with our cats! Gracie and Frankie absolutely loved her. She took very good care of our home over the weekend. We will definitely be rebooking her for future trips and I would highly recommend her to anyone!! She has a genuine love for animals and it really shows!!!”
“Wonderful Jessica. You were communicating daily, cats were fine when I returned. Jessica sent photos with notes. Very professional. Will definitely use Rover again. We have used them in the past and we’re just as satisfied as before. Thank you Jessica and Rover. Harriet”
“Alice was fantastic! She sent me photos at every check-in and was great at communicating when she would stop by if there was a bit of a change that day. She took such great care of my two kitties! I can be really picky with sitters - I would highly recommend Alice and will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: Hi, I’m Irali! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away from your pets, and my goal is to provide that by treating every dog or cat like they’re my own. I have experience with pets of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a detailed routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to details, and I love building trust not only with pets but also with their families. You can count on me to provide updates, photos, and lots of love while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to focus on pet care. After work, I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing, and giving them the attention they need. On weekends, I’m fully available for drop-ins, longer visits. Pet care is a big part of my lifestyle, I make sure to plan my schedule so pets always feel prioritized, safe, and loved. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy in their usual routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I keep things tidy, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel secure while their family is away.

“Denver is a responsible pet caregiver. He was prompt every morning and evening. He kept me up to date on Maizey’s visits. If he is not sure of something he is not afraid to message you for clarification. He took good care of my furbaby and I would definitely use him again.”
“Amber looked after our critters while we were gone for the week and took great care of them. She was very attentive when our cat got an upset stomach while we were away and cuddled with our little dog who was anxious during a storm. She was great about keeping us updated every time she checked on them. Highly recommend Amber to watch after your pets!”

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home pet mama with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. Animals have always been part of my life — not just as pets, but as family. I share my home with four Sphynx cats, which means I’m very familiar with high-maintenance pet care. From temperature needs and skin care to special diets, frequent feeding, and lots of hands-on attention — caring for sensitive, hairless cats has made me especially detail-oriented, patient, and attentive. Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of kittens and puppies be born, including assisting with difficult deliveries and resuscitating newborns at birth. I’m calm under pressure, deeply intuitive with animals, and quick to notice even subtle changes in behavior or comfort. I’ve provided in-home boarding for many cats and dogs, and every pet in my care is treated like part of our family. Our home is no-kids and no-crates, offering a peaceful, low-stress environment with gentle routines, warmth, and lots of affection. For cats, this is an enriching, cozy space — cat trees throughout, soft nap spots, and a cat wheel for safe indoor play and exercise. Dogs enjoy relaxed walks, companionship, and a calm household where they’re never just “checked on,” but truly cared for. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and deeply loved while you’re away. I’m always happy to send photo updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away. ✨ Furless babies are absolutely welcome here — and cared for with the extra warmth, attention, and love they need. When your pet stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re being loved 🤍🐾 I am a stay-at-home pet mama, so pet care is part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, monitoring behavior, and maintaining consistent, comforting routines. My home is calm, safe, and pet-centered with no kids and no crates. I share my home with four Sphynx cats, so I’m experienced with high-maintenance care. Cats enjoy multiple cat trees, cozy resting spaces, and a cat wheel for safe indoor enrichment. All pets are supervised, treated like family, and cared for with cleanliness, comfort, and emotional well-being as top priorities.

I currently work home these days so I have the extra time to take care of extra pets. I own one cat and a dog who are great with other pets. I currently work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to take care and attend other animals. My schedule is usually very flexible for the most. I'm always on top of all my pets and every pets I watch to make sure they're getting full attention and care that they need. I have three open bedrooms a fenced in backyard that has plenty space and security.
About: I have 20+ years experience caring for my own dogs, pet sitting, and fostering for dog rescues, including experience with senior dogs, puppies, and medical cases. I work from home so I can provide your pet with plenty of love and attention and have very flexible scheduling for services within my home or within your home. For services within my home: I have a large, adult, fixed male dog who is great with other dogs and is very calm. I have two acres of unfenced property with beautiful mature trees and surrounded by farmland. My dog and I frequently sit on the back patio and enjoy the sounds of nature. Depending on the needs of your dog, I can take them on our regular walk to the nearby park (about 1.5miles total, 1-3x per day) or shorter walks around the property. For services in your home: I understand the importance of your dog's routine and I have the flexibility to offer services so that they won't skip a beat when you're out of town.

About: Ever since I was a young lad, I've had 2 cats that I still take care of to this day. I've also been taling care or my parents' dogs not super long ago. I always try my best to help your pets! I'm available at anytime! I should be available at anytime unless I note it somewhere in my profile. Also available at day and night anyday. I always try my best to follow the owner's instructions on how to take care of their pets no matter how I feel about them.
About: I am the youngest of 4 girls and we always got the same pets together. But for some reason, my pets always lived the longest! I like to think its because I took the time to educate, play and love on my pets. My first pet was when I was 7: a hermit crab. Then a finch, a parakeet, a hamster and a rabbit. My hamster even knew his name, Ted, like a teddy bear. So when all the hamsters escaped their cage, only Ted came back! When my family got our first dog, Kovu, I quickly became his best friend (after my dad, of course). I taught him sit, down, shake, spin and roll over. We got a second dog, Hercules, who I taught all those tricks to as well as beg! Herc was a little more agile than Hunky Kovu. Kovu went on to learn how to retrieve their dog bowls for dinner and to help carry bags of trash to the trashcan or groceries to the house. As Herc got older, he became more anxious. So I’d give him extra cuddles every 4th of July and put on his vest that felt like a hug around him. Both Kovu and Herc have gone on to Dog Heaven after 14 years of life each. And I’ve gone on to live with a roommate with a very skiddish, anxious dog to owning two rescues with my Husband, Jax and Milo. They too, know all the tricks I taught my family dogs and have learned to be great around our 3-month old baby. I’m working part time in the early morning hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Otherwise, I am free pretty much all day to care for your fur babies. If you have a fenced yard, I’ll make sure to get them plenty outside time for play. If not, I’m happy to take them for walks throughout the day. I’ll make sure to clean up after them so your home stays nice and tidy while you are away. I can give them a bath if needed and time for tricks and treats if you allow!

About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for my own dogs, as well as family, friends, and neighbors’ pets, and I truly love making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a proud dog mom to my 3-year-old Black Lab, Raven, who is friendly, playful, and always excited to make new dog friends. Your pup will have a built in buddy for playtime and companionship! I have a spacious home with a basement that is comfortably set up for dogs, and I’m happy to welcome pups onto the furniture because I believe dogs deserve to feel at home (my couch has washable covers). My backyard is partially fenced, and I’m also close to a beautiful Greenway where I love taking dogs for walks and adventures. I also live 3 minutes from Rovers dog park! I understand every dog has their own personality and needs. I have the space and ability to give dogs their own areas or separate them when needed, so every pup can feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed during their stay. I also have a membership at Urban Dog Bar in Nashville and love giving dogs fun experiences beyond just sitting at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet time, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes your dog happiest. Your pup will be treated like family here with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs included! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m home most weekends and work remotely every Monday and Friday, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with the dogs in my care including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I work from the office, but I have a consistent routine. I make sure dogs get outside in the morning before I leave, as soon as I’m home, and again before bedtime. I’m also able to provide a comfortable, safe environment where they can relax while I’m away. My backyard is fenced in on three sides and is a decent size for dogs to enjoy. I do let my own dog roam freely, but I completely understand that not every dog is comfortable or safe doing that. I have a running cable available if needed, and I’m also happy to take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. I also have a basement that is separated into two spaces with dog gates, a large dog kennel if needed, and an upstairs area that can be separated with another doggy gate to help create a safe and comfortable space. From one dog mom to another, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in a safe environment with a trusted human. I want every dog in my care to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re here.
About: I have cared for pets since I was double digits. I have had hamsters, fish, cats, and dogs. Dogs are my favorite, though. It doesn't matter what breed; they are all unique in their own way and beautiful as well. I have personally owned a Rotti (Rocco), Husky mix (Mercedes), English Bulldog (Diesel), Frenchies (Kingston & Khloe), and now a pocket bully (Oakley) and English Bulldog (Lola). Since our kids are grown, these are our fur babies. We always say that this is their home, and they just let us live with them. I am able and comfortable with injuries, wounds, bathing, and cutting nails if needed. We are currently going through the puppy stage with Lola, so we have a lot of patience as well. We would love for you to choose us to stay with because we love meeting new friends, no matter their age or breed. I work from home 3 days a week, so I am here most of the time to care for pets. Dogs are like kids; once you have more of them, they are easier to care for because they move in a pack for the most part. I have two extremely friendly and loving dogs here. We have a fenced-in yard in the back. We live in a quiet subdivision out in the country with sidewalks and other friendly dogs. Our home is dog-proofed in the sense that we have a dog gate, multiple dog beds throughout the house downstairs, and two bins of dog toys. We also keep plenty of treats for training and snacks.
About: I have over 30 years of pet care experience, taking care of puppies and kittens through senior dogs and cats. I don’t have children and consider my pets my children! You will have no worries while you are away from them. I have been there and understand what it’s like to be away from my pets and worrying that the people that I asked to look after my pets won’t get there on time to let them out or will forget and not feed them or give them water or scoop their litter box. If you hire me you will not have that problem. You can relax on your vacation or on your business trip knowing that your fur babies are taken care of. I currently work as a merchandiser and have a flexible schedule and can arrange my schedule to include pet visits at any time of the day. I do not currently have a fenced in yard but plan on getting one so if you want me to keep them in my home, I will leash them and walk them.
“Jessica was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond taking care of my two dogs!! We were gone for almost two weeks, and she kept me updated on the dogs and sent lots of pictures. I felt like my dogs were cared for and loved as if they were her own. No doubt I will book her again when we need a pet sitter. Thank you for the wonderful care you’ve given my dogs and keeping them happy and loved while we were gone!! :)”
About: I have 2 big dogs of my own as well as a cat. I’ve taken care of all of them since they were little puppies and kitties. One of my dogs is medicated and I’m happy to assist you with medications if needed. I have past experience walking/ looking after my neighbors, family’s and friends dogs and cats. I am currently a student so during the summer I am completely free. I prefer Monday- Friday but am happy to help on weekends. I don’t have a problem with early mornings or late nights. Whatever is convenient to you! I have an electric fence to conceal my two dogs. Although we have this, I never leave them outside without my eyesight on them. I try to keep my eye on them as much as possible to avoid anything that could go wrong/ prevent harm to your home.

“Haley & Ryan took great care of Huck while we were out of the country and sent us pictures and updates each day. It’s so hard to leave your pet but in certain situations it’s unavoidable. It sure makes it easier when you know they’re being treated well. Thanks again!”
“She was wonderful with my pup, Sasha. I will be using her again if i need to. She sent lots of pics and kept me updated the whole time. She was kind and Sasha grew to love her dogs in a short time as well. Very pleased with everything! :)”
“Allison was amazing! She kept us updated on Benny with plenty of photos and videos, and Benny looked like he had a blast. He came home exhausted from playing with all his new friends! He seemed right at home. We will definitely be reaching out to Allison for future boarding needs!! Thank you!”
About: We currently have 3 dogs and they are very much considered family in my household, and always have been. They truly are man's best friend. We already have three dogs, and we both (My wife and I) work from home! We would have the same routine as our day to day. Draco and Bronco love being outside so they chill there most of the day, if the weather permits. Lula can usually be found at her mother’s feet. They all sleep inside, cozy in their beds, or ours. If they have to be inside because of weather, they just lay around throughout the house.
“Erin and Joseph are amazing!! We don't normally board our GSD but had to do so 2x in the same month as the locations we were headed were not pet friendly. Our girl loved them, from the meet and greet to both stays, she was well loved and cared for. Erin and Joseph sent daily pictures of her playing with the other dogs and having a blast. When we picked her up this last time, she didn't want to leave. We totally recommend these guys and will certainly be using them again!!!”
“I was nervous leaving Benny with someone else for the first time, but Skilar and Jared did a great job taking care of him! They sent daily updates and pictures to let me know how he was doing, and he smelled so good after picking him up! Can’t thank them enough!”
“Hayley and her family were the perfect hosts for our pets. What a personable experience and the dogs seemed to have enjoyed their overnight stay with them and their dog pools ;-) We will be sure to make this their home away from home when we are visiting Nashville in the future.”
“Kayahja was awesome! I last minute had to drop my cat off for the night and she was welcoming and went above and beyond caring for Violet. Her two dogs were so cute and friendly with her and she sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew she was safe and happy!”
“Lauren was AMAZING! It was my 1st time boarding Maggie and I could not have hoped for a better experience! Maggie was treated like family and didn’t even know I was gone. Lauren was communicative the entire time with updates , pics and videos. I highly recommend! We will be visiting Lauren and Maggie’s new family often!!”
“Jessica communicated so well all week while watching our baby! I was nervous to leave him for so long but she sent updates and pictures and answered so fast!! Would recommend her for the anxious doggy parents and will book again!!!”
“Very responsive! Sent me alot of pics and videos!! Kept me updated with what was going on and gave us a thorough report at the time of pick up! Has a cute little dog of her own, who was very nice and played well with my dog. Will definitely be rebooking her again.”
“Emily was fantastic with Minnie! Her home is incredibly dog-friendly, with plenty of beds, blankets, and a great backyard for play. Minnie stayed for one night, went on her walks, and I felt completely confident she was in good hands. If we’re ever back in Nashville, we would definitely book Emily again. Highly recommend!”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Kaitlyn! She was very easy to communicate with and took many adorable pictures of our pups during their stay. We got daily updates on their progress which was so comforting our first time away from them for more than a day or two. Definitely recommend!!”
“Will absolutely book again! Moneissa went above and beyond to accommodate my senior pitbull, Lola. She sent daily photos and updates of Lola enjoying the spacious, fenced-in backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. Because Lola has mobility issues, Mo thoughtfully created a special setup in her home to support her needs and handled her daily medications and diaper changes with care. I’m incredibly grateful for the attention and compassion she showed—highly recommend!”
“John was amazing with Theo! He was very flexible with timing and care instructions. He sent videos everyday and made sure Theo got all the love and exercise. We would definitely use John again.”
“Leah and her family hosted Rigby at the last minute and were fabulous. Even Rigby told me he had a great time. Thank you for hosting him and keeping him safe, fed and secure!”
