I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.

Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.

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!!!

Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Sarah
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.

Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care free for a long zeewoi. The communication of photos and videos were a warm reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us! We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening return. We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.

Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!

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

Our dog has been going to Paws Daycare for almost 3 years. Prior to that we used Paws at Home for our cats. We keep going back because of the friendly staff and the level of care and attention they give our fur babies. Our dog gets regular grooms from their groomers that are scheduled on the days he’s booked into daycare, which makes it so easy. Couldn’t recommend them more!
An aculade to paws pet care, Hamilton. They collected a scruffy long haired Jack Russell with very long toe-nails, and returned him a little later in a perfectly groomed condition. I am very pleased in all aspects of the groom. MARK was punctual and professional which was much appreciated. I highly recommend paws pet care to any owner wanting excellent grooming, care and attention for their pet. Happy customer Ross P
Sarah and her team are absolutely amazing! They take such good care of my pup. She is always excited to go to daycare and comes home so calm. I never have to worry about her she is in the best hands. Highly recommend their grooming services and overnight holidays as well. They are the complete package. Thank you so much for all you do!
This is such a lovely caring centre ! They really make this such a positive experience for all dogs , Thank you for your kindness
It has been a few years since my dog stepped into daycare. And guess what? My dog still loves it. Staff are friendly and passionate about their dogs. And I get a photo of my dog each time we go to daycare~ Can't find a better place to trust my dog to.
Exceeded my expectations. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Did a great job of our slightly anxious (when it comes to grooming) pooches.
Ollie is a six month Jack Russell with so much energy since going to Paws weekly for a few days he is such a neat pup at home he absolutely loves Paws I can’t rate their understanding and care high enough 🐶🌟🌟🌟 …
For the first couple of days, I'd drop her off and she wanted to come home. After third or fourth day, I'd turn into Paws driveway and she was jumping around in the car excited to get out. After a week we didn't have to use the harness, she is straight in the door and happy to be with her friends and family staff. Highly recommend Paws.
100% recommend this doggy day care! The big and small dogs are in separate areas which gave me huge peace of mind. Photos are taken daily which I love! And my dog came back after her first day so happy and wanting to go back!
My girl attends daycare regularly and has just spent her first 3 nights with the team also. Hard to put in words how much it means knowing I have these guys to help look after her and it is the biggest comfort knowing she is so happy there and has so much fun. They have helped me socialize and settle her, give me fantastic feedback and advice and show so much care and love to every dog that attends. The facility is amazing and the team are outstanding! Cannot recommend enough!

Cosy Paws have been beyond incredible for my dog. They go above and beyond for all their furry friends and treat them like their own family. I can’t thank them enough for everything they do. Love daily facebooks posts too!
We have just had our dogs with Cozy Paws for 2 weeks. Amazing care taken with our 2 dogs. These people know what they are doing and really look after your pet as if it were their own and take care of individual needs. The dogs had a great time. A huge thank you to all the team.
Our fur babies have sooo much fun here. They love the place and the staff. Amazing, safe and enriching environment, incredible staff and super happy and tired fur babies. Couldn't ask for more. ❤️
Good service good information, nicely secluded for Gut Fawkes night. Perhaps a bit expensive then have been used to. $105 for about 30 hours with 2 small intact dogs. Attention yo detail and good after sale follow up
The most amazing team to look after your pooch. Thank you Jody, Colin and the team for looking after Odin and helping with his education.
The team genuinely care for the dogs and you can see the 'guests' having a great time.
Kind friendly helpful genuine interest in providing best care and plan to best suit etc for yr pet fur baby and go beyond the call of duty to help . Great listeners. Tilly loved her 1st overnite stay. Thankyou for yr genuine care.

We love going to Hamilton Hounds! Nyla absolutely loves going in the morning and would cry in the car to get out and rush into meet all her boyfriends/furfriends and the staff😂 Honestly the best facility as the staff really gets to know your pups and personality. If there were any issues, they would contact and talk about it with you. At the end of the day Nyla loves her treat and when we get home she's knackered out. Bonus when they update on socials and you see your pup having a blast! Would 100% recommend HH if you need a daycare for your pups to have the best time. Thankyou HH team for looking after Nyla🐶💙
Best doggy day care in the Tron! The team are amazing and incredibly passionate about what they do. They know each dogs name, their individual needs and show genuine love to all the dogs. Our girl is so excited to go hang out with all her friends, she can hardly contain her excitement on the drive there, and is exhausted at the end of the day. "Woof, woof, woooooooofff, woof, woof" - Luna
My lab Ziggy loves HH, she starts squeaking and getting excited way before we get there and tries to drag me through the door to see all her friends, canine and human! Has the time of her life judging by her toofy grins in the photos.
Hamilton Hounds genuinely care about your dogs and will do whatever is best for your furbaby. Even if that means losing money by letting you know that doggy daycare isn’t the right place for your dog! I appreciate their warmth, the love they show every dog in their care, their sense of humour and flexibility. The groomers are also very good, and responsive to feedback. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else.
Really caring, friendly and dog loving staff. The opening hours accommodate all schedules. We couldn't imagine taking our spoilt doggy anywhere else and she'd no doubt put her paw down if we did lol. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love HH, my girl loves the daycare and her overnight stays. HH has amazing opening hours but most of all the staff are absolutely brilliant.
Have been bringing my lab here for a number of years now for both day care and over night stays with no problems. Called over the weekend to book her in to stay overnight and was rudely declined by a lady on the phone saying that my dog needed to be crate trained which she is and that my dog would cause issues with other dogs as it has been too long since she has stayed there overnight. I was amazed as we have never had any issues with this place in the past and a bit of a shame as my dog loves it there.
My wee Kevin loves Hamilton Hounds. He’s so happy and relaxed, he thinks he owns the place and all of the staff. All of the staff are lovely and obviously love dogs. Kevin has stayed overnight, been groomed and is a frequent daycare users. All services have been amazing. Happy dog, happy fur parents 😍😍 …
We have been taking our dog there for daycare since he was a puppy, he loves it and is always happy to go. Also, so easy to get him groomed while he's there for the day. Staff are friendly and experienced, especially in the big dog area where our dog goes to. Opening hours and days to suit lots of different work/schedules, not just regular 9-5.
They are amazing. We have a pitty that is quite reactive with people but she absolutely loves all the staff in Hamilton Hounds. They are such nice, kind people. I would absolutely recommend them.

Jane is a passionate, caring and super responsible dog lover/carer. My wee, highly- reactive rescue shihzu cross adores Jane, in fact she howls with joy and expectation when her truck pulls up! Remarkably, Jane has taught her how to pack walk with little to no reaction! Quite an achievement for a brutally damaged, fearful dog! I can't recommend Doggydayout and Jane more highly for a safe, loving and fun dog environment.
Thoroughly recommend! My dog had so much fun and came home ready for dinner and bed - thanks again Jane!
