“Rachael was great! She accommodated us last minute. She was friendly, responded promptly, followed instructions, and sent photos and updates daily. She even checked our mail for us because I forgot to put it on hold. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Tiffany did an amazing job taking care of our kitties. She sent updates with pictures. We appreciate the care she took with our fur babies. We will definitely have her watch our pets again. Thanks so much!”
“Mindy is amazing with my cats! She always loves on them, plays with them, and gives them so much attention! She also leaves very thorough notes and sends lots of pictures. She’s the best!”
“Candace was great with my cats. She checked in on them for a week while I was out of town and made sure they were okay. She took the time to play with them and her communication is great. I would definitely recommend her and hire her again next time I’m away. She is very dependable. Thank you, Candace!”
“We were away for a few weeks and were looking for an attentive, animal loving, reliable care taker to look after her. Tessa not only met those expectations but went above and beyond for our cat! Would highly recommend her if you’re looking for short or long term pet sitting.”
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”
About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary and kennel technician, I bring a deep understanding of animal care, behavior, and health to every pet I look after. Animals have always been a huge part of my life – I’ve been involved in animal rescue for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets isn’t just a job to me, it’s a lifelong passion. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, caring for a senior pet with special needs, or just giving your furry friend some extra love while you’re away, I provide compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care every step of the way. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family in my care. I have experience with exotics and farm animals! I also have my wildlife rehabilitation license. Let’s connect – I’d love to meet you and your pets! I have four pets myself. A Chow, a Doberman, and two cats. My “hobbies” and “activities” include animals. I do animal rescue every day of my life, happily. I exercise, hike, or walk the track of Lake Reba every day with my fur babies and would love to take yours! My pets are on a routine. They go outside to the restroom around every 1-4 hours, other than when I am at work. I feed my pets once in the morning and then before bed.. I’m strict and stay on schedule, never late!
“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”
About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.
“Haley is amazing. We seriously lucked out choosing her to watch Kitty while we were out of town for a week. She had to make two visits a day for wet food and she still took the time to hang out with our cat for a little while each time. 100% will be using Haley for pet check-ins again.”
About: Special experience: -bottle feeding babies -medication administration -senior and palliative care -basic dog training (not certified) -caring for injuries and wounds -soothing anxious dogs I don’t just want a side gig watching your animals. I want to connect with and actively have fun with each baby I get to meet. I have had at least 1 pet every moment of my life. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and all together live with 3 of each in my current home. Everyone deserves to know their fur babies are safe and happy. I provide consistent updates and pictures as often as you like. Feel free to ask about any special requests, I am quite flexible and am even open to bartering services. We will work together to find something that makes everyone happy! With 6 pets currently under my roof I am already constantly taking care of them in some way. It’s easy for me to add yours without any hiccups. Each pet has their own personality and I find it important to listen to what they are trying to tell me. I can cuddle all day or give lots of space and I have pets that like both so it is easy for me to adjust to varying needs.
“Elena is AMAZING!!! She is so sweet, kind, caring, patient and very accommodating. Our dog, Sydney is very shy and nervous around people, but she quickly warmed up to her. Elena took great care of Sydney. She gave detailed feedback, updates and pictures of Sydney during each visit. I will definitely rebook with Elena again. I highly recommend and trust her! Elena is the BEST!!!”
“Finnley goes above and beyond in her check-ins! Not only does she do an excellent job taking care of our fur-babies, she even made sure they would be warm during the winter power outage. Her communication is top notch, and it’s great to know we can count on her when out of town! Highly recommend her services!”
About: I have watched numerous dogs and cats through my life and have enjoyed it every time. I have also helped train multiple dogs! I would love to take care of your animals and I will treat them just like I treat mine! I am a full time college student who only has classes 2 days a week! The longest I would have to be gone would be on Thursdays and Tuesdays for an hour and fifteen minutes twice on those days. I will take care of your animals just like I would my own. Any special requests you have I can adhere to. Every animal is differnet and I understand and respect that. This means I would adapt to whatever your animal may need!

Keyara H.
“Keyara has been an incredible caregiver for my dog, Luna, and I can’t say enough about how thankful I am for her. From the moment they met, Luna took to her instantly — which says a lot, since she’s usually shy around new people. Keyara quickly learned Luna’s routine, from her favorite walking paths to how she likes her food prepared, and always made sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She sent regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my furry family member!”

Melissa K.
“Melissa is an sweet and very responsible. Currently she owns 2 dog and 1 cat. One of her dogs was given to her by a couple who said the dogs was amazing, but she ended up having behavioral issues. Missy’s patience and love has paid off and her dogs Percy has stopped destroying things and is much better behaved around strangers. I would totally trust that my animals would be loved and safe in Missy’s care.”
