“Caitlin and her family took excellent care of our girl. We were nervous to leave her with someone we didn’t know for the first time, but Caitlin sent plenty of updates throughout the day and even took Dixie out hiking. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Amanda accommodated our last-minute request so we could take a tour at Cumberland Gap NHP. Her home, dog toy basket, and large yard were perfect for our standard poodle. I would highly recommend her.”

About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals with a special focus on dogs. My journey in pet care began as a passion for animals and over the years it has involved into a deep commitment of providing top-notch care and companionship to pets of all kinds. Have extensive experience with various dog breeds understanding, unique temperaments needs and behaviors from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve cared for them all ensuring they receive the love attention and exercise they need to thrive. My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine love for all animals. Beyond dogs extends to farm animals, animals, including horses, goats, chicken, and other livestock. I am well versed in their routines from feeding to grooming to administering medication’s and ensuring their environments are safe and clean. Whether It’s tending to a herd or a flock of chickens, the same level of dedication and expertise to all animals under my care. You can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment for every animal. I care for ensuring that they feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. Your animals are not just to me. They are family. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home. With the flexibility of remote work I am able to give pets the attention and carry they need throughout the day from morning walks and feeding routines to midday place sessions and afternoon check-in I can easily incorporate these activities into my workday. This set up allows me to ensure that pets are well cared for happy and never feel neglected even as I manage my professional responsibilities. Being at home means I’m always ready to meet their needs and provide the companionship they deserve. Caring for pets in my home is something I take great pride in. I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets feel that they are part of the family. Each day begins with a routine tailored to their needs whether it’s a morning walk, feeding or playtime. My home is set up with cozy spaces for pets to relax, toys to keep them entertained, and outdoor areas for exercise and fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure to spend quality time with them providing plenty of love and attention. I’m also attentive to their health and well-being, ensuring they eat properly, stay hydrated, and get the rest they need. If any special care is required like administering medications‘s or is following a specific diet I handle it with precision and care. Even though your pet will only be with me for a few hours in my home, they are treated as cherished members of the household. My goal is to make their stay as stressful, free and enjoyable as possible, giving them all the care and comfort they deserve.

About: I’ve had different dogs in my life. I enjoy being with them. I give them baths and treats I do some grooming but mostly baths. I like to take them on walks at seven island bird park. I am currently working full time at a Mother’s Day out. I will have plenty of time to spend with your puppies! I like to meet new friends including furry ones they bring joy and excitement to my life. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life as I was growing up I wanted to be a vet. I always have a special place for dogs in my heart. They will be loved and cared for like they are my own. I don’t have a fence in yard I have an underground fence. I have a big yard that they can play in I have 2 furry friends that they can play with.

“Kristy you are an absolute gem! Louie's dog sitter extraordinaire! Seriously, she's the bomb. From the get-go, her vibe was super chill and friendly, which totally reassured me about leaving Louie with her. Kristy's care and respect for Louie were next level. She kept me posted with updates and totally catered to his quirks. If you need someone awesome to look after your furry friend, Kristy's your gal. Louie and I couldn't be happier with her TLC.”

“Emily was able to help us out a few times when we moved to town and we didn’t want to leave our pup alone in a new house. She took him on several walks and even to the dog park, both which Farley loves to do. We really appreciate her taking him into her home and taking such good care of him.”

In Clients’ Homes, I care for pets just like you would, keeping them comfortable, loved, and on their routine. I’m respectful of your home, follow all instructions carefully, and give updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I have volunteered at the SPCA for over 30 years. I would love the opportunity to love on your fur baby. I love all animals. But dogs have a special place in my heart. I had my backyard fenced in 2024 for my grandpuppies when they visit. It is perfect for hosting other fur babies too. Since I am retired, I am home most of the time. I have 1 dog, Buster Brown. My daughter & SIL adopted him in 2023. He is a rescue and turned 3 on March 10, 2026. He came to live with me in Feb of this year. He's the sweetest boy and loves to play with all dogs. I will love your furbaby as I would my own & Buster Brown loves having friends stay over. I only host for one family at a time. If you have 2 dogs that's not a problem.
