I can’t thank this lady enough. I called right in the morning about a cat i found & she said she would take it & didn’t ask for a thing. This cat would’ve died if it wasn’t for her, i leave on a flight at 12 & no shelters or anything would take her. I’m beyond grateful. She has 7 cats of her own and she took this baby in. Thank you times a million.

Dawn is the absolute best and I feel so lucky to have found her! She takes great care of my 3 cats and my house, and gives me peace of my mind when I’m away. She sends a detailed update after every visit with lots of clear pictures, and is super responsive and kind. Her prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend her!

Dawn is great to work with and we feel so at ease leaving our cat in her care. Our boy gets lots of love, treats, and brushing while we’re away. You can tell she really cares for all pets as if they were her own from the daily updates and photos. Communication and booking are a breeze. We continue to book her again and again!

Anytime I need them, Dawn and her team take wonderful care of my precious rescue cat who requires meds. Along with giving required medication exactly as instructed, they make the most of play time with a favorite toy and give great cuddles. It is worth every penny when I return home knowing he has had great care.

We have trusted Dawn and Andrea from Nashville Purrs for over a year to care for our little cat when we are gone. Our cat was a stray that moved in last year, and she was very skittish at first, but she warmed up to us and also to them very soon. They have been very trustworthy with our home and our kitty.

We feel so fortunate to have been recommended to Nashville Purrs! Dawn is not only caring and reliable but also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to cats and what it takes to keep them happy and confident while we’re away. We have worked with Dawn for a handful of visits now and just can’t say enough good things about the experience. We get such wonderful updates after each visit and the photos make us smile while we’re away from home. For our introduction, she even came over and met the cats and wanted to learn all of their various hiding spots! She took the time to understand our cats’ routines and medications, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and that extra level of care and attention really shines through. She also might just be a cat whisperer - even our very shy & nervous cat trusts her and comes out to greet her! We highly recommend Dawn and her team to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust with their beloved pets.

Nashville Purrs is the best in-home cat-sitter service I’ve ever used. They are caring, trustworthy, reliable and kind. I get photos and descriptions via text at each visit. I can travel with my mind at ease knowing my furry family members are receiving the best care and attention possible.
