“Great experience with Michelle and Bryce! Our dogs loved staying with them and you could really tell they loved them so much! Would highly recommend!”
“Juniper absolutely loved spending time with Tara while I was at work! She got to keep her company and cuddle on the couch while Tara worked from home. She even got some good walks throughout the day. Tara was amazing—I really appreciated her thoughtful photo updates and consistent communication. Definitely the perfect balance of friendly and professional and I’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”
“This is my second time having Robin watch Sadie and she is just absolutely fabulous. She takes Sadie on walks and send photos and videos and it’s just been so kind. On top of that I asked her last night at the last minute if she would keep Sadie overnight and she without hesitation said of course she would love to. I would definitely recommend Robin and I will continue using her without a doubt!!!”

“First time trying Rover and can’t recommend Madeline enough! She was great from start to finish! Extremely communicative, thoughtful, and energetic. I know Piper had a great time during her stay and I’m sure anyone’s furry friend would have the same great experience!”
“Marisa was super nice working with us. We had a snow and ice storm the day before we left. She made arrangements for us so we didn’t miss our trip. Coco did well with her.”
“I could not recommend Ritch enough. Blue and Frankie have stayed with him a number of times . The dogs get daily walks and lots of affection from his children. He sends photos and notes about how they are doing and I feel so good about leaving them there .”
“Janelle is great with Cody. We got daily updates of their walks and adventures. I feel very comfortable with him staying there and plan to use Janelle regularly!”
“Alison has been named Taz's godmom! She is an outstanding dog sitter. I know that my Taz is being loved when he is at Allison's. She usually has more than one dog there, and I think Taz likes hanging around with his friends. She has a nice big backyard. Frankly, I can't say enough good things about Allison.”
About: My experience includes working at Vanderbilt as an Animal Care Tech, Tennessee Aquarium, and an animal clinic as a vet assistant. Whether it’s pet sitting, administering an injection, or taking your pup to their appointment, I’d be happy to help! I’m versatile when it comes to various breeds and sizes and am eager to fulfill their needs! Also open to exotics and large animals!! Since I'm currently working full time, I need to schedule around my shifts but I'm flexible! I work 8 hrs/day but am available in the afternoon. Caring for your pet all comes down to routine. I believe that maintaining a routine allows your pet to find comfort in some familiarity. My style also includes avoiding minimal stress and potential safety risks.
“Angela is absolutely wonderful! This was our first time being away from our puppy dog, and she made sure we felt comfortable. We got daily updates with pictures, and she always responded quickly. I would 100% recommend Angela, and we will be asking her to watch Sable again for us!!!”
“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!”
“Robin was wonderful with my pets. Both Bella and Riley were happy campers. She sent us photo updates, which helped my mother in law, because she worries about leaving her dog with “strangers”. However her dog loved Robin and fit right in with her little doggie pack. She really understands dogs and people, and is just a nice person herself, so she was very accommodating to us booking at the last minute, fitting us in to her busy schedule, and helping to meet our needs. We will definitely use Robin again.”
“Rachael was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and so caring—willing to administer medicine and make adjustments to keep my dog comfortable during her post-op recovery. My pup felt right at home with her, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!"”

“Ally did a great job with my two cats! She communicated well prior to the drop in visits and took numerous photos during the visits. I felt assured that my pets were safe and healthy while she was taking care of them.”
About: I grew up with a family dog who was a shih tzu and poodle mix. Now, I largely work with dogs who might need a little extra attention, but I’m open to working with other furry friends! Does your pet need medicine 3 times a day? I do that. Does your dog have leash aggression or very specific likes and dislikes? I've dealt with that too. Separation anxiety? Check! Senior dogs struggling with incontinence? I'm here to help. Currently, I offer house sitting (taking out trash, plant care, etc), drop ins, pet sitting (2-3 walks, medicine if applicable, feeding, play time), pet walks, and feeding. I can sometimes accommodate last minute bookings and am available most holidays and weekends. I offer pet sitting in my client's home to keep pets in the environment where they feel safest. I will collaborate with you to see what works best for your pet and their home. I love pets and will often spend a little extra time with them if you're worried about them being left alone. I know each dog and cat is different, so I'm more than happy to adjust to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!
“Sabrina was amazing to our three kitties!!! She gave such detailed reports and sent so many cute photos! She even went an extra day last minute to check on them. I will absolutely use her for any future trips! Such a sweet cat caretaker 🥰🥰”
“Piper did a great job with our cat! She was communicative, and did a good job of providing informative updates (as well as some adorable pictures). Our little girl was in great spirits when we got back from a week-long vacation.”
“Emily is a sweet girl, with good communication and punctuality which is very important for us. Very easy to talk to. We felt secure knowing our babies were in good hands. Did everything she was instructed to do. We left and came with our place clean. Nothing negative to say overall very positive. Thank u again Emily from the 3 of us (:”
“Alicia was amazing!!! Milo was instantly so relaxed with her, and she seemed to really connect with him! She was very attentive and followed care instructions perfectly! I will definitely be booking with her again!!!”

“Leah was great as always! Luca really loves her and even Olive and Berry warmed up to her this time. She also administered Luca’s medication with no problems and I am so grateful!”
“Sarah was great with my cat cheddar, she went above and beyond with her visits, and if available I would continue to use her with both of our animals. She was prompt courteous and always cleaned, and locked up behind herself!”
“Whitney was incredible! We had her check in for daily visits with our cat Kirby while we were out of the country for two weeks, and she was dependable and timely, providing pictures and a written update each time she came. She even watered our plants for us. She was responsive, kind, prompt, and professional.”
“Tahreem was absolutely incredible! She last minute watched my cat while I went to Europe and I was not concerned one time on my trip about the care she was providing. She sent many pictures and left sweet notes about their visits. Every pet owners dream sitter!”
“Isabel is fantastic! We moved to town 3 days before we quickly needed to leave for the holidays. After a cross country move with our cat Spaghetti, the last thing we wanted to do was board him. Isabel is reliable, timely, trustworthy, communicative and incredibly loving. She made sure we had nothing to worry about. She even made an extra drop in to collect an unexpected package that had been delivered. If I could give her 10 stars - I would! Look no further - Highly recommend!”
“Alexandria was great! She took such good care of Luna and was so proactive about making sure her needs were met and she felt loved while I was gone! I would definitely recommend her!! I felt like my cat was in great hands.”
“Olivia is the best. I had to go back to work while my pup was still recovering from getting fixed. Her nursing background made her the perfect choice. She is always on time and is meticulous about following care instructions. Highly recommend!”
“Juliet was great with my cat Mustard and really helped me out by checking on her while I was out of town for Thanksgiving! She did a meet and greet beforehand and was great with communication. She provided updates on food, litter, and playtime after each visit. I definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Bryce did an amazing job watching my cat. He was attentive, communicative and went above and beyond to make sure my cat was taken care of! I would recommend Bryce for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

“Robin was amazing! What a blessing that we had the chance to find her. She took great care of our 2 small dogs and made them feel welcome! She was extremely attentive in taking care of them and their needs. Thank you Robin!!”
About: Pets have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have cared for them over the years, and I’ve had cats my whole life. I know how to read their behavior, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels at ease whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I work full time but I have plenty of flexibility to take care of your pet! I go into the office 3 times a week but I am off work by 3:30pm. I can do early mornings, late nights and weekends! I come to your home, so your pet gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable — in their own space, with their own smells, routines, and hiding spots. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box preferences, or which spots are off-limits. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Growing up, I was surrounded with pets and dogs of all breeds. I love all dogs and am currently raising my own Aussie Doodle who loves to have puppy friends around! Being a Dog Mom isn’t easy by any means, but I fully potty and house trained my pup Mocha. I work full time from home so I’m available all day to take care of any pet that stays with us. I also love being active, my own pup and I love to go on walks around the neighborhood & at centennial park! I work full time from home & I’m always available to tend to a pup’s needs. I can take pups for a walk in the morning + evening (avoiding the hot TN sun as much as possible!) as we live very close to Belmont & Centennial Park, with lots of space for pups to roam and explore! I have plenty of space for dogs to run and play around my house. Fair warning, our house does have a lot of stairs which may be more difficult on an older pup’s joints! For high energy and excited puppies, the stairs are great to get some exercise in if it’s too hot to go outside! I also always have lick mats or mental enrichment games on hand to keep a pup engaged throughout the day.
About: I’ve had over ten years of dog experience and love dogs! I have experience with senior dog care and can give medication to your dog throughout the day if needed. I work from home and have a fenced in patio that has turf on it. I can walk the dog multiple times a day and give it all the love and play time they need! I only use leashes when I walk your dog I don’t believe in not using a leash. I have a patio that is fenced in and I treat your dog like I would treat my own dog. My apartment is a very loving, welcoming environment.
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Cosmo and kept me updated throughout the day with lots of messages and photos. Cosmo had a fantastic day, and we will definitely be coming back to her. Highly recommend!”
About: With years of experience, I'm your go-to for top-notch dog care. I have a 3 year old puppy so I understand the amount of attention and care each dog deserves. I also have volunteered at dog shelters and charities to help other animals. I’m new to recover, rates are negotiable and trying to build my book of business. I work from home and I often have hours in my day where I can visit your dog, take them for a walk and play with them. I provide personalized pet care services tailored to each pet's needs. This includes feeding, exercise, and medication administration. I ensure a clean and safe environment and am always responsive to specific requests from pet owners.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I love dogs of all sizes. We have two black labs and a shepherd mix. We also have a cat and several aquatic creatures. I’m currently working part time from home and have plenty of free time to care for your pets. My schedule is fairly flexible and I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m very detail-oriented and happy to follow your instructions for the best care for your pets. I love walking so happy to do neighborhood walks or hit the local hiking trails or dog parks.
“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.”
“Enzo seems to have had a great time with Jonathan! Would definitely do it again in the future. Jonathan was responsive and answered any questions we had.”
“Eli was great! My puppy Enzo had a fun day with him, and came home worn out. Eli was also prompt about giving me updates and sending pics. I would definitely recommend him and will use his services again.”
About: I welcome the opportunity to maintain their lives as you would want for them in your home a drop off at mine I have worked for North Shore Animal League Been caring for animals newborn thru senior I love giving walks baths throwing balls making homemade food whatever their needs I wish to be the love in their lives they need so their life without you is less anxious lonely full of the happiness of when they see me they get excited Staying at your home is my preferred but open to keeping them at mine I will devote my time to only them their routines and needs I can do day care and or overnight I have an apartment where there is availability to take them for walks for the day I prefer at your home to maintain continuity of their daily life to keep anxiety and stress to a minimum as well as convenience to you and them
About: I absolutely love 💕 animals! My mom calls me "The Animal Whisperer" because every animal l meet loves me just as much! I truly believe it's because they know I am genuine 💯 💗 and I just want to be friends ❣️ Either way, your fur baby will be loved and cared for while you are away. This is my full time job, so I dedicate my whole life around these fur babies 🐈⬛🐶🙏 if they have a routine and a schedule, then that is going to be my routine/schedule while they are in my care. I am very flexible, but my clients come first and the specific care instructions they trusted me with. If the client has specific care instructions, then I follow that to keep their fur babies on schedule. If not, then I get up and take them outside to potty, come inside and feed/water them, depending on the weather I either take them to the dog park or Centennial Park for a couple hours and let them get some exercise/play time, then we come home and usually take a nap. The rest of the day is just like playing with them and bonding with them which usually has me giving belly rubs for hours 😂 I don't mind it's my job to give spoils 🐶💗🐈⬛💕
About: Throughout my life, I’ve always had family pets; fish, chickens, a horse, dogs, a hamster, cats - you name it! Growing up, I was the person who wanted to help with feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure our pets felt loved. Two years ago, I got my own puppy, a miniature dachshund! Having my first pup all to myself gave me even more experience with pet care and understanding a dog's individual needs and personality. Since moving to Nashville, my pup has stayed back in my hometown with my parents, where she has a yard to run around and the familiar people she loves. While I know keeping her home was the best decision for her and she's thriving, I miss her tons and realized that I need pets in my life again! I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own dog. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, or simply someone dependable to stick to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently taking the summer off, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pet throughout the week. Just reach out and let me know your ideal schedule! At my apartment, I have a roommate who may be around, but will not be involved in caring for your pet. We have one cat who is quite shy and very sweet. Because of this, we have plenty of cat toys, food, and a spare litter box should your kitty come over! As for dogs, we have plenty of space, though no dog-specific toys/equipment. If your pup comes over, I will happily bring anything from your home that they’ll need to have a comfy stay. In general, my apartment has plenty of space for your pet to lounge, play, and have a great time. For outside time, we have a small balcony with 3.5ft tall safety railings that will allow your pet to get fresh air at any time. Beyond the balcony, I live in a walkable neighborhood that’s great for walks, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. When at your home, I will always be respectful of your space. Ensuring I leave everything exactly as I found it, I’ll maximize time with your pet while also keeping the area tidy! When working with me, please just let me know any boundaries you have within your home and I’ll happily abide.
“Daria is literally the BEST when it comes to someone watching your pup. I have a brand new puppy (now 3 months old) and work 12 hours shifts. 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. Thank you Daria :)”

About: My entire life has revolved around raising and caring for dogs, and I have worked with dogs from all kinds of breeds, sizes, ages, and backgrounds. Ranging from newborn puppies to older rescues and shepherds to pits, I understand that patience and understanding is key to developing a strong and trusting relationship with any dog. Capable of training certain commands and working on obedience training I am currently a student working on only remote coursework that is asynchronous. I have a lot of flexibility and free time in the day, so earning some extra money while also caring for pets sounds like a great idea! I am in an apartment myself, however we keep a good schedule for our dog to keep her healthy and active. She is on a fixed eating schedule (morning and night) and gets to be outside multiple times a day, and at least 1 of those times is a walk. Treats and reinforcement on obedience and tricks daily are a must in our home as well. For clients, I offer what they ask. Dogs are very routine oriented and do not like it to be messed up, and I respect that for the dog as well as the owner. If there is anything the owner would like me to work on with the dog (certain tricks or manners), I am more than happy to help to the best of my abilities. During check-ins I see how the dog is doing both physically and emotionally, being sure to engage with them to help break up the monotony of sitting alone or being understimulated for extended periods of time.

“Taylor was great! Had a last minute change of plans that meant I needed someone to walk my puppy the next day and she was a major help in being able to accommodate the ask. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures!”
“Roya was so great! She helped us out in a pinch and was super reliable and a great communicator. Our dog has special needs and she did a fantastic job following our instructions. We highly recommend Roya!”
“Christina has been an excellent dog walker for my Lucy. Her communication was always great, and she’s been very consistent walking her 4 days a week for the past year and a half. I highly recommend.”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have also always been a regular volunteer at the animal shelters, so I have experience with all kinds of dog personalities, behaviors, and activity levels. I have trained all my dogs myself so if you are looking for help with a puppy/newly adopted dog, I’d love to help encourage those good behaviors while you are away! I work a pretty relaxed, work from home schedule. I am extremely active so would love to help you out with walks while you are at work, but would also love some couch potato company if that’s what your pet is into! Currently not available for any new walk/drop in requests Mondays & Wednesdays from 11-2. For drop-in visits, I will always take the time to figure out what your pet needs, and never make them feel rushed! For walks, I will cater our time to whatever your pet is looking for, whether that is as much distance as possible or as many stops and sniffs as possible! The end goal is your pet coming home happy and healthy and I’m more than happy to do whatever that takes!
About: I care for pets the same way I care for my own family, with patience, reliability, and real affection. I pay close attention to the details that matter to each pet such as favorite toys, routines, quirks, energy levels, or comfort needs. I am especially good with puppies who need extra guidance and consistency and with senior pets who benefit from a slower pace and a gentle touch. I make it a priority to communicate with you often so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you are away. What truly sets me apart is the combination of responsibility and genuine love behind everything I do which helps pets feel comfortable, understood, and cared for every moment they are with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already build my days around structure and responsibility as a Lipscomb student. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for regular walks, feeding times, play breaks, and check ins. I enjoy starting my mornings with movement, so taking pets out early fits perfectly. I also have long breaks between classes which allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. On weekends I am even more available, so I can focus fully on longer walks, outings, and extra attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it feels like a natural and fulfilling part of my everyday routine. I live in an apartment that is clean, comfortable, and set up to be a safe space for pets. When caring for pets in my home I follow whatever routines they are used to, keep their environment calm, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I am mindful of their comfort and always keep their feeding, crate, and potty schedules consistent with what they know. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home I make sure to respect their space and follow their established routines exactly. I keep everything clean, stick to the instructions you provide, and give your pet the same level of love and attention they would get if you were home. Whether I am in my own apartment or in your home my focus is always on making your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.
“She is a patient and very sweet walker. Did amazing with my rowdy bunch. Good communication and was patient with me figuring out intricacies of the app.”
About: Hi, my name is Sophia! I’m a proud owner of a 11 year old Jack Russel/Staffy mix named Liam! He’s typically shy with other dogs at first but opens up after a good few sniffs. I also have two cats named Emilio and Antonio. They want to be friends with Liam so badly but he hilariously ignores their affections. I have enjoyed working with animals most of my life and I’m experienced with dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and snakes. Having worked at a veterinary clinic all through high school, I then volunteered at the local animal shelter throughout college. I absolutely adore all animals and all the much needed love they bring. I can’t wait to meet yours! I work two part-time jobs as well as gigging in the music scene. My schedule is either super open or sometimes less so! That being said, my family has moved to town so I will always be around for the holidays. My dog has separation anxiety so at-home stays can be tough but not impossible as I also have a lovely roommate he adores. My cats are good with dogs as well! I’m very experienced with drop-in visits and overnight stays. I follow instructions well and can easily cater to the needs of your pup or pups.
“Kirstie is amazing. She has great energy and is very friendly. Kona took to her immediately and she treated him like he was her own dog. I was very impressed with how fast Kona and Kirstie connected. She was able to quickly pick up the commands and rules Kona follows and we felt comfortable leaving our dog in such good hands.”
About: I’ve had family dogs growing up and 2 dogs in college, all bullies! I have a soft spot for bullies and experience with them, but love ALL dogs! I’ve also volunteered at the dog shelter and fostered dogs through Nashville’s Wags and Walks program in the past 🩵 I just recently got laid off from my corporate job, so I have a super flexible schedule right now. Can do daily drops in and walks on most week days and weekends that I can free! I love to walk outside, so I am happy to take your dog on their daily walk or stop in to visit/ feed them while you are away 😊 I do not board dogs or watch dogs at my own home, but am happy to come to your home to care for them- whether it’s for a drop in, feed time, daily walk or play time! Also open to short term house sitting if you need someone to care for your pup while you are away!
About: I am a dog and cat lover and always happy to take the best care of your beloved family member. I originally came from Wag! a different dog walking/sitting app with over 800 completed services with a 5 star rating. I trained puppies, taken care of senior dogs, administered insulin, and love caring for dogs of all sizes. I have done dog walking/ pet sitting full time for a few years and currently looking for new clients as I moved to this area from Nashville TN. I prefer sitting in my clients home, it makes me comfortable knowing the pet is in their space and have their familiar surroundings. And following the routine the owners have given me to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and safe while they are away!

“Great experience with Michelle and Bryce! Our dogs loved staying with them and you could really tell they loved them so much! Would highly recommend!”
“Madeline is amazing! Our dog always loves seeing her and she treats him like he is her own pup. She keeps him active and always sends updates! I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“First time trying Rover and can’t recommend Madeline enough! She was great from start to finish! Extremely communicative, thoughtful, and energetic. I know Piper had a great time during her stay and I’m sure anyone’s furry friend would have the same great experience!”
“Marisa was super nice working with us. We had a snow and ice storm the day before we left. She made arrangements for us so we didn’t miss our trip. Coco did well with her.”
“I could not recommend Ritch enough. Blue and Frankie have stayed with him a number of times . The dogs get daily walks and lots of affection from his children. He sends photos and notes about how they are doing and I feel so good about leaving them there .”
“Janelle is great with Cody. We got daily updates of their walks and adventures. I feel very comfortable with him staying there and plan to use Janelle regularly!”
“Alison has been named Taz's godmom! She is an outstanding dog sitter. I know that my Taz is being loved when he is at Allison's. She usually has more than one dog there, and I think Taz likes hanging around with his friends. She has a nice big backyard. Frankly, I can't say enough good things about Allison.”
About: My experience includes working at Vanderbilt as an Animal Care Tech, Tennessee Aquarium, and an animal clinic as a vet assistant. Whether it’s pet sitting, administering an injection, or taking your pup to their appointment, I’d be happy to help! I’m versatile when it comes to various breeds and sizes and am eager to fulfill their needs! Also open to exotics and large animals!! Since I'm currently working full time, I need to schedule around my shifts but I'm flexible! I work 8 hrs/day but am available in the afternoon. Caring for your pet all comes down to routine. I believe that maintaining a routine allows your pet to find comfort in some familiarity. My style also includes avoiding minimal stress and potential safety risks.
“Angela is absolutely wonderful! This was our first time being away from our puppy dog, and she made sure we felt comfortable. We got daily updates with pictures, and she always responded quickly. I would 100% recommend Angela, and we will be asking her to watch Sable again for us!!!”
“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!”
“Robin was wonderful with my pets. Both Bella and Riley were happy campers. She sent us photo updates, which helped my mother in law, because she worries about leaving her dog with “strangers”. However her dog loved Robin and fit right in with her little doggie pack. She really understands dogs and people, and is just a nice person herself, so she was very accommodating to us booking at the last minute, fitting us in to her busy schedule, and helping to meet our needs. We will definitely use Robin again.”
“Rachael was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and so caring—willing to administer medicine and make adjustments to keep my dog comfortable during her post-op recovery. My pup felt right at home with her, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!"”
“Katherine was the best!! She made Koda feel right at home, snuggled with him, walked him, and got some good backyard play time in. I was very grateful that she took such good care of my nervous boy! Definitely will reach out again :)”
“Peaches had such a good stay. Jonathan was so patient with her, and even threw in some training which was greatly appreciated!!! 10/10 would book again.”
“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.”
“Great communication. Justin did a great job watching Koda and sent photos of how he was doing. 5/5 would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for someone to watch your pup.”
“Devin was great and made it so I didn’t have to worry at all! He was super flexible and my dog was immediately comfortable with him. 100% recommend him for your dog sitter needs.”
“Jessy was amazing!! I can’t recommend her enough. I get so nervous leaving my dog but Jessy has put my nerves at ease. Bella had such a good time, we already have her second stay booked!”
“Alexandra and Katya were great with my puppy Miles. They took him on walks, to the dog park, and gave him plenty of attention and let him burn off all his energy. I had no doubt that he was in good hands with them.”
“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!”
