Jeffi Wutz

Jeffi was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. After earning her degree in Biochemistry from Seton Hill University, she relocated to Nashville in 2003 and managed a lab within the Center for Integrative and Cognitive Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University, working hand-in-hand with PhDs and Veterinarians and subsequently had a front-row seat to some incredible cutting-edge research. Several years later, the concrete walls of the lab were no longer agreeing with her so in 2007 she left Vandy, purchased a farm in Franklin and opened the Green Barn, a horse-boarding facility where her passion for caring for all creatures great and small continued to bloom. While running the Green Barn, Jeffi expanded her business to include off-site farm sitting. Jeffi has been pet and farm sitting professionally for over 15 years and her detail-oriented/animal-loving brain merges perfectly as she enjoys hands-on sitting as well as the tasks of managing the entire business. Even so, she always jumps at the opportunity to love on even more sweet pets. In her spare time (which isn’t much!) you can find her making kissy faces with her giant blue Great Dane, trotting around the trails at her farm on her Arabian horse, Midnight Tserenade or zooming down the Natchez Trace on her bright yellow Triumph Thunderbird.

Elizabeth Priddy

A Knoxville native, Elizabeth has called Middle Tennessee her home since 2001. After graduating from the University of Tennessee (go Vols!) with a degree in psychology, she co-managed a large horse farm for a year before moving to Nashville, on a whim, to spread her wings. She began working at a veterinary clinic to fund “said wings” and then found herself accepting a job at Vanderbilt University in the psychology department (where she met JEFFI!) to further her education and find a career path. Because having two jobs clearly wasn’t time consuming enough, Elizabeth also decided to get her masters degree in counseling psychology at that time as well. Animal friends have always been a part of this journey; from horses to fish – she has cared for big and small over 25 years in many different capacities. An avid competitor and horsewoman, Elizabeth owns a private farm in Franklin which she shares with her horses, chickens, dogs and cats as well as her family. She competes in the equestrian discipline of dressage with her horses Gateau and Jay and enjoys loving on your pets in between!

Abby Batson

Abby is a Tennessee girl – born and bred, so she knows the area like the back of her hand. Having owned animals all of her life, nothing surprises her! She lives on a 100-acre farm, caring daily for livestock, horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and even her family’s pet snake, George!  She’s raised and trained horses and dogs and is comfortable being around all animals, no matter the size or type, and she treats them all as if they’re her own beloved fur-children. Not only a member of NWPS, she is also a farm-hand at the Green Barn and works part time at a local restaurant. When she’s not walking dogs, cleaning stalls or serving slushees – she’s out trail riding with her cherished horse Rain and Blue Heeler Scout, working on art projects or is in pursuit of capturing the perfect photograph.

Katie Curry

After graduating from Franklin High School, Katie started her career in business management but deep down always knew her true passion was working with animals. Eventually she decided to pursue that passion which led her to volunteering and eventually working full-time at her local animal shelter. Experiencing the true joy rescue animals could bring, she decided to further her Vet Med career and became a licensed Veterinary Technician. She currently manages Natchez Trace Veterinary Services. When not spending time with her clinic patients or pet sitting other furry friends you can find her trail riding in her Jeep with her Blue Heeler Beau, curled up reading a good book or hiking at one of Tennessee’s numerous beautiful state parks. Katie’s years of extensive animal care experience make her a huge asset to NWPS.

Libby Smallbone

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Libby moved with her family to the states in the early 1990s. Having lived on a farm most of her life, she has been the primary caregiver of quite the menagerie: dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, horses, donkeys, pigs, sheep, chickens, goats and alpacas! Needless to say, Libby is experienced to handle any job NWPS needs staffed.   She has worked with NWPS for many years and is a compassionate, familiar face to many of our clients. She is an extremely talented and passionate artist, photographer and singer/songwriter as well as an avid horsewoman, having bred and trained several horses from birth to successful careers in showjumping.

Helen and David Smallbone

Helen and David Smallbone relocated with their 7 children (including Libby!) to Nashville from Australia in 1991. Their entire lives have been dedicated to giving back and serving… people, animals, you name it! After purchasing a hobby farm in Franklin, the Smallbones began to expand their herd to include rescue animals of all shapes and sizes.  Their “herd” now includes their grown children, daughters-in-laws, son-in-laws, several grandchildren and friends, all of which LOVE to come to the farm to help with the daily chores of providing love to all the animals in need. They have been a steady force, working with NWPS for over 20 years.

Rebecca Gibbs

A Nashville native, Rebecca found herself back home after a stint of mountain living in northern New England. She has spent the last decade as a freelance pet sitter – working with animals of all ages and needs. Animals have been a constant source of love and enjoyment throughout her life, from loving on her own childhood pets to caring for neighbors’ horses to regularly rescuing and nurturing any creatures that often found themselves at her doorstep in need of a little extra care. When not working with animals, she finds herself deep in the world of entrepreneurship, developing her photography business and curating ideas for her future dream of owning a dog rescue. Becca is also a long-time enthusiast of the performing arts, having taught children’s art education at local community theaters and worked on large-scale productions throughout Tennessee for several years. You can find her on days off in a quiet corner of nature with a good book or singing to her snuggly, orange kitty, Gatsby.

Lindsay Haney

Hailing from Springfield, OH, Lindsay brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to No Worries. Originally a Dog Kennel Supervisor at a boarding facility here in Nashville, she was exposed to many different breeds of dogs and was able to truly master the art of understanding dog behavior, which is a huge asset to NWPS. Although her experience has now expanded to pretty much every species you can think of, she has a soft spot for dogs, cats and horses. Lindsay is extremely creative; on her off days you might find her editing videos or doing charcoal portraits or watercolors! One of her favorite pet sitting moments was sitting for one of our sweet doodles after not seeing her for a super long period of time. She walked in and the pup immediately recognized her and was overjoyed to see her! “It was like getting to see an old friend again!”

Kaitlyn Crouch

Kaitlyn is a true unicorn: being born, raised and still living in Leipers Fork, TN! She and Jeffi’s family have known each other for decades, with Kait actually working and volunteering on Jeffi’s farm since she was about 10 years old. She has been pet and farm sitting professionally for more of her life than she hasn’t, and continues to split her time between pet and farm sitting and her full-time career as a telecommunications engineer. She is passionate about all animals, while holding a special place in her heart for the pups she’s fostered and the baby cows she’s bottle-fed. Kaitlyn carries a gentle and affable demeanor, and is perfect in times of high stress — like the time she walked into a client’s home and found a very angry rooster flying around!!

In her free time, she loves to read, cook and travel extensively throughout the world; even living in Israel for 4 months. She is actively checking amazing destinations off her bucket list… with the next stop being JAPAN!

Brittany Falcone

Born and raised on Long Island, NY, Brittany lived in California for a time before relocating to the Nashville area. She has extensive professional experience with animals and children, working as a dog walker in Cali and NYC, a preschool teacher and registered behavioral technician for children with autism spectrum disorders.

Although she loves all animals, a very special passion for rescue was instilled in Britt early on as she and her grandma volunteered at animal shelters together and fostered many pups and kitties on their way to their forever homes… the ones that made it out of their homes, that is!! Brittany may have invented the term “foster-fail!” She grew up riding horses and absolutely loves large animals as well. She is actively working towards her life-long passion and dream of owning (and filling up!) her own small and large animal rescue farm in the next few years.

Cheyenne Lincoln

Originally from Manteca, CA, Cheyenne relocated to the Nashville area in 2022.

After gaining experience in several different service industries, Chey eventually settled on a career working with animals, a passion of hers since her youth. Her family always had dogs, cats, chickens and ducks and she was brought up with a deep love of animals and sense of responsibility for their care. Over time she realized she’s a HUGE cat person and is definitely NWPS’s resident kitty-whisperer! Chey has a quiet and peaceful energy, and is a tremendous support to No Worries, serving as Jeffi’s incredibly organized assistant. She has experience with all creatures great and small; from horses and goats to bearded dragons, foxes and fishtanks! When she’s not caring for your beloved pets, you can find her cozied up on her couch with her 4 cats, baking cookies or trying out a new craft!

Alyssa Hunnicutt

Born in Chattanooga, Alyssa’s devotion to animals began at age 4 when her grandfather lifted her up and set her on his horse… and the rest was history! She lived an extremely exciting early life with the opportunity to travel extensively and live in several large cities (Atlanta, NYC) as her dad was involved in the country music business. Alyssa’s passion for animals deepened as she and her family eventually settled on a small farm in College Grove, where Alyssa still lives today. They raised beef cattle and had horses, and she, along with her beloved dogs, fell in love with working in the barn and being under an open sky!

Alyssa went on to earn a degree in Design Communications from Belmont University. She interned at Walt Disney World in Florida, working in the parks and taking courses in event management and corporate communication from Disney leaders. She then took her knowledge and expertise and channeled that into working in the wedding industry including the areas of planning, florals, and videography. Searching for a career she was truly passionate about, Alyssa also became a certified birth doula. She attended over 30 births and became skilled at working in client’s homes and urgent problem solving, but still deeply desired a profession which would merge her skills and experience with her passion for animals.

No Worries is so lucky to have Alyssa as part of the team! She always looks forward to taking care of farm animals, meeting new and rare pets, and enjoying all the snuggly company she can get! In her free time, Alyssa loves to read fantasy books and do artwork; she also adores spending time with her two cats, Alfie and Logan.

Jenni Boertmann

Born in Louisiana, Jenni grew up in Michigan before eventually, in 1999, deciding to call Nashville her forever home.

The love of animals began early for her, as her family always had dogs, cats, fish, bunnies and birds. A career path involving working with animals was something Jenni aspired to have, and her very first job was working in a vet clinic at the age of 18. She then went on to study Business Medical Administration at Tennessee Tech and spent the next twelve years working in veterinary medicine, managing a vet clinic here in Nashville. She is no stranger to any animal, and especially enjoys our farm clients. Jenni thrives on adventure – swimming with sharks, white water rafting… you name it! NWPS is thrilled to have Jenni on staff, as she brings years of animal care expertise to the table and her kind and gentle spirit brings calm to even the most nervous of pets. When she’s not hauling hay around your farm or jumping out of planes, you can find her cuddling with her own 3 dogs, 6 cats, 3 chickens and bearded dragon named Lizzy!

Palma Ambrosio

With her parents and her huge, loud and loving Italian family hailing from Florence, Palma is a first-generation American. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she then went on to live in Texas for a time before moving to Michigan to play tennis at, and earn her business degree from, Michigan State University. Eventually she relocated to Nashville, and we are SO glad she did!

Palma is a licensed esthetician and understands the ins and outs of the client experience. She loves to pamper your pets, and is in her happy place when she’s brushing all the pups and kitty cats she can. The more complicated their hair, the better! She is always up for a challenge! She knows what it takes to run a business, having owned and operated her own for 26 years. Palma’s commitment to excellence, her exceptional communication and her notable dedication to the comfort of your sweet babies is unparalleled; if you’ve ever had the opportunity to experience her, you know what I mean!! We love Palma!

You can find her in quiet moments catching up with a friend or a good book, cooking all the Italian delicacies you could imagine, or hiking in Tennessee’s beautiful state parks.

Angelica Kalu

Angelica, along with her immediate family, permanently immigrated to the United States when she was 10 years old. Originally from a small village in Nigeria, she was excited to put down roots here in the states, settling in Murfreesboro.

Currently a student at MTSU, Angelica is passionate about her studies and is pursuing a degree in Nursing.

A deep love (and healthy respect) for animals of all shapes and sizes developed at an young age, with one of her earliest childhood memories being the day a random elephant scooped her up with its trunk right outside her childhood home!! When asked how she felt about that she said “umm… scared!?” Understandably so!! Notably, her childhood animal experience may have been a little different than the norm here in the US, but the adoration, dedication and sense of responsibility for her family pets’ care remains the same! She grew up with her beloved cat Cinnamon and her mom’s goats – but to this day, does NOT like cheetahs; as they are quite intimidating when you see one outside your bedroom window!

Angelica has a sweet spirit, is so very funny and is also very musical; having been classically trained on piano and vocals. She also plays the harp and loves to sew.

Valerie C. (Franklin)

I’ve been using them for years. I travel a lot and they are always kind and friendly. My pets I think love them more than me 😂😂😂😂. I highly recommend great trustworthy people who care about our fur babies ❤️❤️❤️

Amanda W. (Nashville)

Hands down the best pet sitting business in Franklin/Nashville. Every individual in the company from the sitters all the way to the owner, Jeffi, is caring, responsible, communicative, and professional. If you’re looking for a top-notch company to trust with your most precious furry loves, than No Worries Pet sitting is definitely the right choice! Highly recommend.

Donna G. (Franklin)

I’ve been using No Worries Pet Sitting for almost a year now and my experience with them has been 100% positive. My dog is a rescue, she’s reactionary and struggles with warming up to new people. There are several different pet sitters that visit Lola twice a day while I’m at work and she loves every one of them! They introduce Lola to new sitters with one of the ones she is comfortable with so the transition is smooth. I have a camera in my home so I’m able to watch them interact with Lola and it just warms my heart to see how sweet and loving they are with her. Their prices are very reasonable and completely worth it because I never have to worry about Lola while I’m at work.

Stacey B. (Franklin)

Jeffi (the owner) is an exceptional professional and provides a service that really meets your personal needs. There was no doubt that when we were leaving for our trip we knew our precious pup was going to be well looked after. Jeffi, Jeanette and Jen all made him feel like a king:) We had an overnight sitter who was there morning and night and then Jeffi and her team rotated throughout the day for potty breaks and walks. We also received regular updates and cute pics!! We couldn’t have asked for a better service.

Casey W. (St. Louis, MO)

WOW!! I met Jeffi after reaching out regarding my wedding on June 10th, 2023 and she was THE best. We spoke about how we wanted our dog to be involved in the ceremony with their help. She was so excited which only made us more eager to use her services. She stayed in touch throughout the following months before the wedding. We met again the week before to meet the dogs and location. When the dog of came around our dog’s handler was easy going and made Riley’s involvement so easy! 10/10 would recommend them.

Paula P.  (Brentwood)
No Worries Pet Sitting is the best. Their company name says it all! You can truly trust them with your pet(s) and have no worries at all. They have done sitting for me many times and I have always come home to happy dogs! They truly fall in love with your pet and treat them like their own! I highly recommend calling them for all your pet needs!

Liz J. (Franklin)
We love No Worries Pet Sitting. We used to board our dog, then scramble for cat & chicken care but NWPS takes care of all of our pets. They are reliable, great with all of our pets and they text us daily to keep us updated. We feel really comfortable knowing they’re going to be there twice a day and they really care about all of our animals. In fact, the first time we used NWPS, a member of the team called me because she was concerned that our lab wasn’t eating much. That was normal but I was impressed that she paid that much attention. I would highly recommend using No Worries Pet Sitting – we’ve been thoroughly satisfied. They are the only ones we would consider calling when we need a pet sitter.

Kathy B. (Franklin)
From the moment I met with NWPS, I realized their love and enthusiasm for all animals… big, small and in between. Their record speaks for itself as they have worked for me routinely for two years. They have an impeccable work ethic. NWPS are dependable, trustworthy, and they genuinely love their work. As a horse and dog owner, I feel so lucky to have found a company that is comfortable juggling multiple animals. They have a keen eye for anything out of the ordinary and will be the first to point out a change in your pets, whether it be medical or behavioral. NWPS is indeed a rare commodity, and I am so glad our paths have crossed.
