“Bradley was wonderful. We booked him last minute for the same day as we were not able to get home in time to take our dog out after being stuck in the house all day. We had inadvertently left a troublesome key but Bradley would not give up and abandon our dog. He worked through the key issues and was able to take our poor dog out for a badly needed bathroom break. We highly recommend Bradley.”


About: I’ve always had a big heart for dogs. Caring for them comes naturally to me as I truly love being around them, giving them attention, love, and companionship. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very flexible and love spending time with dogs. I can adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, give them lots of attention, and keep their environment clean and calm. Playtime, walks, and cuddle time are always included!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid—everything from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Chihuahuas and Great Danes. I’ve administered medicine, handled special feeding routines, and taken care of elderly animals with extra needs. I’ve also pet-sat for family friends, neighbors, and multiple households over the years. I currently live with cats I care for full-time, and I’m happy to help with additional tasks like watering plants, taking out litter, or feeding fish. I’m great at following specific instructions and keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently between jobs and going back to school in the fall, which means I have full availability all summer long. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet-sitting needs—whether that’s regular check-ins, overnights, or last-minute help. I live locally in Mulberry and often help out at my family’s pharmacy, but otherwise my time is yours! I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I always follow the pet’s routine to keep things consistent—mealtimes, walks, medications, and even preferred toys or napping spots. I’m respectful of the client’s space and clear about communication, sending regular updates and checking in if anything seems off. I make sure pets feel safe by being patient, affectionate, and attentive to their needs—whether that’s quiet time for a nervous cat or extra play for an energetic pup. Trust is everything, and I take that seriously from day one.

“Karla has been absolutely wonderful with Bow & Max! She’s very responsive and has great availability. I know my pups are safe and well taken care of ❤️ They are always happy in the pupdate pictures I get! Thank you Karla! 😃”


“Teagan was a pleasure to have sit our pitbull! She gave me peace of mind while we were out of town. She followed the instructions I gave her and sent pictures of her time with our boy! We will be using Teagan again and I recommend anyone else to use her as well.”


About: I've been pet sitting as well as a tech in the vet industry for about 8+ years now. I pride myself on my honesty, integrity, knowledge, and always trying to make your pet feel like I'm a second pet parent to them. I currently work full time at a vet's office but if you live close by I have lunch with your pet, and love to hang out in the evenings when I get off work. Bonus if I believe there is something medically wrong with your pet I can bring them to work with me (at your expense). I always strive to keep to the same or very similar schedule that your pet is already used to at their home. I endeavor to make them feel like I am a second pet parent to them and love all the snuggles and fun.

About: I’ve had different breeds throughout my life growing up. As an adult, I’ve owned Aussies. I’m very active with my girls when I’m not working but if your pup isn’t active that’s okay to! We can relax around the house! Whatever your pup needs, I’ve got it covered. I work full time, I travel for work during the day which can vary 4-12 hour days, it all just depends. Between my significant other and I, the dogs get let out plenty. My days are usually over by 2 and I’m home by 4. I have 2 Aussies a 12 year old and a 4 year old. Both are good with dogs. If you want your dog to be crated please bring it with you as I only have one and my youngest uses it. The backyard is fenced and I do have chickens but they have their own area of fenced yard.

About: After 24 years in the vet field, I’m enjoying caring for pets outside the walls of a hospital. I am organized and reliable. Most importantly, I have spent and will continue to spend my life devoted to caring for and loving pets! I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule, leaving me free to care for your pets! Currently, I am offering daytime services and hope to expand in the future! I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and needs, then tailoring my time with them to accommodate those needs. I enjoy playtime, cuddle time, or simple companionship at the comfort level of the pet.

About: Since childhood, I've had various responsibilities with many pets. I've always had dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. Over the past 2 years I've taken care of our diabetic dog, monitoring his diet and giving him insulin shots twice a day. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I have volunteered at the SPCA, taking care of dogs and cats. I am recently retired, so I can provide morning, afternoon, or evening care. I can also care for animals during overnight stays. I"ll work with you to address any needs you may have. I have a large, fenced in yard for boarding your pets, and a screened in pool for enjoyment and exercise. If care is to be provided in your home, I will provide tailored care that honors your wishes. Whether in my home or yours, I'll make sure your pets are safe and comfortable in your absence.

About: Hello, and thank you for trusting me with the care of your pet. I have over 20 years experience with dogs of all kinds. I would be happy to assist you with drop-ins, walks, or overnight pet care. I will treat your pet as if they were mine, giving them the loving care and patience they deserve. I am available most days of the week. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet when you are unavailable. Pets that stay at my home should be non-aggressive and potty trained. They will receive tons of love and attention, and plenty of play time.

About: * All dog Walks include basic skill work (sit, heel, stay, and to walk calmly next to you) Volunteered and worked with the SPCA as a dog trainer, walker, and pet supervisor to nursing home visits. I have been trained in positive reinforcement techniques as well as worked through dog obedience training. I love encouraging a happy and well-mannered dog through treats (toys or food), plenty of exercise and socialization. I am an extremely active person with three medium sized dogs myself. We enjoy daily runs and plenty of play time - I work part-time and do not have children, so most of my time is devoted to my pets. I am available to walk/run with your dog, watch them overnight (boarding at my house preferred), as well as make house visits. One of my favorite hobbies is taking portrait photos of your furry-pets! So rest assured you will receive cell phone pictures and usually a high quality professional camera photo of your fur baby as well! (See photos for examples) Please allow me the pleasure of loving on your pet while you are away 🐾💕 I am a wedding photographer and currently on my break as my busy season just ended. My daily schedule is free to devote to my clients and my own pets! I value safety and believe communication is extremely important, both between the client and I and between your pet and myself. Being aware of your pets needs, anxiety levels, and demeanor is helpful to build trust with your pet and establish a calm and productive training walk :) Please let me know if anything comes to mind in the message on additional safety steps your home or pet requires.
