I have 5 years of dog and cat sitting experience. I love going on walks, playing fetch, and giving lots of pets to the animals. I have taken care of many different dog and cat breeds, and I am able to do overnight sitting. I can do medicines, eye drops, or any other medical needs. I can also do house sitting, including watering plants and light housework.
“Danielle is FANTASTIC! She is so attentive and sweet with my pups. She stays over and spends so much time with them. I could not find a more trustworthy petsitter. She is great with administering all my older dog’s meds and eye drops. My pups love her!”

Hi! My name is Christina and I’m a MBA student at Middle Tennessee State University, studying data science. I also have experience working with children. I used to babysit through SittingMadeSimple and helped out a family with an autistic child and loved watching videos and playing outdoors with him. I also volunteered at the Discovery Center and would help them with arts and craft and teach them about important figures in history. Before that, I looked after my younger brothers by taking them to and from school activities and making sure they were eating healthy meals. I enjoy working with children and want to help families in any way I can. I hope to connect with you soon!
“Christina was fantastic with our baby girl—engaged, cheerful, and genuinely helpful!”

Hi, I’m Ari and would love to be of assistance to your family! I have 9+ years of experience in Early Childhood Education as an EHS Director/Teacher. I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am a Teacher for VUMC and currently have evening availability during the week with open availability on the weekends. We are the architects of our little one’s brains and children really do learn through play. I enjoy watching the growth and development that happens through positive interactions/experiences when I am implementing age appropriate activities for children. Please, feel free to reach out with any other questions.
“Ari has been an incredible influence on our son’s early development. She was instrumental in helping him potty train at age 2, showing so much patience, encouragement, and care throughout the process. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely loves the children she cares for—you can see it in the special relationship she’s built with him. We trust her wholeheartedly and are so grateful for her. I can’t recommend her enough.”
Brooke $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi- My name is Brooke and I am an HR Specialist at a global company. I am offering childcare service for extra income. I have experience sitting for kids since I was 14 years old, who were mainly in the elementary to middle school age range, however I am fine with watching toddlers as well. I used to assist my aunt with toddlers at her in-home daycare. My responsibilities have been summer camp drop off and pick up, crafts, zoo outings, and etc. I have a corgi and a cat, so I am familiar with pets.
