Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
Laura was an exceptional, reliable, and loving sitter for our goldendoodle Scout, and took such good care of our home! Scout was excited to meet Laura immediately when she arrived at our home for this sit, and showered Laura with all the hugs and kisses. Scout has recently been having issues with seizures, so for this sit I was specifically looking for a sitter who had a depth of experience with giving medication and responding calmly in the event of an emergency. It was a big relief to be able to entrust Scout to Laura's capable and kind hands, and it was extra special that Laura's beloved vizsla had shared the same name. Laura is wonderfully easy to communicate and coordinate with, and was thorough in her care of our home. We came back to our garden looking great, house left in even better shape than I left it to Laura, and a very happy Scout! I cannot overstate how much we appreciated Laura's care for Scout and our home, and heartily recommend her as a pet and house sitter. If you're lucky enough to get on Laura's schedule, your pups will be with the most wonderful stand-in dog mom you could have hoped for!
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.
Anna was the perfect sitter for Tali, Mac and Sox. From the first moment we met Anna we all got on extremely well and we had no worries about leaving our pets in her safe hands. Anna gave them loads of fun time and company, lovely walks and snuggles in front of the TV. Thanks for all the fun we had before and after the sit too. We would not hesitate to recommend Anna for any sit.
David was a super interesting guy, we had good conversation. My place was clean, my cat was happy...he communicated with me.. David is a great house and pet sitter . He is very gentle, which my cat enjoys.
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!

Heidi did a great job with my kitties. I had just moved in to a new home and new state - Heidi was prompt and professional in setting up a first meeting to see my home and the cats. Her follow up was also fast and professional. And, most importantly, she connected quickly with the cats and they love her. I'll be using Heidi for my pet care needs. Highly recommend! Professional, caring, and trustworthy. Hallmarks of good care.
Heidi took care of my cats for a week while I was out of town. She provides truly outstanding care! My cats were in a great mood when I came back. One of them is really shy and she managed to get along with him. She sent frequent updates, including videos and pictures. I will certainly ask Heidi to care for my cats again when I travel. Highly recommended!
I recently moved to the area and after trying another pet caregiver I would definitely say that Heidi has been the best for my kitty girls! Heidi is very professional; provides updates with pictures and/or videos every visit! Sometimes my cats can be a little finicky (hey they're cats) and we have to adjust something but Heidi handles every visit with ease. My girls are so relaxed when I come home from a trip because they've been well cared for! We're lucky we found her. I'd recommend her to anyone!
I use Heidi to cat-sit for my two indoor cats when I'm out of town. She is absolutely wonderful. She keeps in touch, is timely, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about my cats! She knows their personalities, likes/dislikes, and always sends pictures and/or videos when she stops by. I trust her completely and never have to worry when I'm away!
Heidi is absolutely wonderful with our American Staffordshire Terrier. Heidi has taken care of our dog multiple times and I know every time that our dog will get the best care possible and be treated like a member of the family while we are away. Heidi is very good at giving updates on how my dog is doing at her home and has always made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her home. She is very organized. You can tell she has a great love for animals. She pays attention to the schedule we keep for our dog and replicates that in her home. I recommend her to everyone I know.
Heidi is amazing! Her love for animals was apparent the second I met her. She is incredibly thorough, kind, and professional. I just moved to Iowa and I can't imagine a better person to look after my fur babies! I know they are safe and cared for when I am gone. Highly recommend!
I give Heidi my highest recommendation! She's great. She has cared for my cats several times, and my cats are comfortable with her. She is professional and prompt. She administers medications and provides updates when she visits. I can count on Heidi to provide high quality care to my furbabies (and fish). Thank you, Heidi!
We have been clients of Pristine Pets(Heidi Schmitt) for almost a year and very highly recommend her service. We have 2 cats and Heidi follows our instructions to the letter and asks for updates as each visit begins. Her updates via text and email make being away so much easier and we honestly feel like Heidi loves our girls as much as we do. Heidi responds very quickly to our requests for her service. 5 stars!!!!!
Heidi did a great job keeping me updated and sending pictures/videos each time she visited my pup (3 times a day). It was great to have the reassurance he was doing well and getting plenty of outside and play time. Thanks Heidi!
Heidi was fabulous with my dog, who is shy of people he does not know. She was very patient with him, and has developed a trusting relationship with him. She kept me informed throughout my time away from home with updates and photos. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worries! I will definitely be using her services again!
Our cat Sunny was in amazing hands at Tails! He is a newly diagnosed diabetic and needing insulin and extra monitoring. Patsy (owner) went above and beyond sharing updates and the staff was so nice and welcoming!
Highly recommend for boarding! Patsy and crew took great care of my 6 dogs and gave us peace of mind while we were on our trip. 5 of our 6 dogs have never been boarded before. She moved 2 of my dogs to a larger room, to accommodate my Senior dog with hip arthritis. This made room for the cot for easier access to get up and to go outside. Thank you for making Ginger more comfortable. Very nice place, clean and peaceful. We will come back in the future for boarding. Thank you, Patsy and team! 👍👍❤🐾
I am so pleased with the care that was given to my dog at Tails A Wagg'n Resort during her recent board there. My newly rescued dog is very shy, timid, nervous, and anxious. Patsy went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my dog was comfortable during her stay there. My dog learned to trust Patsy, and that is not an easy thing to accomplish. I would highly recommend using this facility for all of your boarding needs!!
My 14 month old baby had to be reluctantly boarded for 5 days. Leo is a 80 pound Bernedoodle that has not been properly socialized. He also has not been away from my side for more than a few hours. I was broken hearted to leave him but Patsy assured me that he’d be fine. Patsy texted me several pictures of Leo everyday showing me how much fun he was having. She also provided updates on how he was doing daily. The extra attention that Leo required was provided by the crew and made me feel relieved. Words cannot express my immense gratitude towards this second home for Leo. Amazing! Leave your puppy here knowing that Patsy and her staff will do anything at all to make your experience delightful and totally awesome!!
We travel out of town often on weekends and our dog, Kota, loves it there!! She stood beside me with her paws up on their counter like she was checking herself in and then couldn't wait to go see all the other dogs that were there. We love that we don't have any worries leaving her there, Patsy and her staff are so friendly.
I have never had to board a dog until recently and I am so happy that I found Tails a Wagg’n! Patsy and team were amazing! Thank you so much for taking care of Riley!
My German Shepherd had a great time there! He was happy and ate all his food, we got daily updates and pictures while we were away! I’m very happy we found this place!!
Patsy gave us a tour of the facility and she answered all of my many questions that I had. We definitely felt very comfortable knowing our pups would we taken care of! They made drop off/pick up quick and easy. We knew our dogs had a wonderful weekend away and we were worry free! I recommend checking them out! :)
I sent my two dogs to board here while I was on vacation. They were so spoiled, they had so much fun! I got daily updates, and pictures. Definitely recommend them!
Exceptional place to board your dog! They take the time to get to know each dog and their needs and idiosyncrasies! The facility is clean and the workers are clearly vetted for their love of animals and well trained. Our dogs take medicine and they have special diets and Tails A Waggin listens carefully to instructions and will go above and beyond to make sure each dog is provided a safe, warm, clean and loving stay-cation. I would not take my dogs anywhere else!
