1. Michael T.

“Great person and my dogs seemed happy. Would use him again. Gave regular updates without blowing me up. Was attentive to the dogs and gave them walks.”


2. Hilary H.

“Hilary was great with Dudley! We were in town for a couple days and needed a last minute sitter to stay with him at our airbnb. Hilary responded immediately and was flexible with our schedule. Dudley can be shy, but he warmed up to Hilary right away which made us feel so comfortable leaving him in an unfamiliar place. I would highly recommend Hilary to anyone looking for someone to care for your pet. She is Dudley-approved!”


3. Samantha M.

“We are so lucky to have Samantha watch our two young pets. She did an excellent job communicating with us. The photos she sent us kept us updated on their shenanigans . She also texted us their status daily. She played with both of them : taking time outside with our boisterous puppy and thus helping the kitten having a more peaceful friend indoors. Since returning home we have noticed that they have a much better relationship. They are both in great physical condition. We would love having Samantha watch our pets in the future.”




4. Brooke A.

“Brooke did so great with my two dogs and cat! My dogs both can be anxious and they have lots of little quirks about them, and they took to her very well! She sent me lots of updates and pictures of their time together, and the house looked just like how we left it when we came back home! Thanks so much Brooke! I would recommend her services to anyone :)”

About: Hello! I am Courtney , I am 26 years old, and I adore animals. I grew up around them since I was a baby, I’ve raised kittens and puppies, bottle fed both. my personal dogs get daily walks and playtime , so your fur baby would be treated the same. I love walking and being outside.. I like animals more than I like people. Dogs are my personal favorite, but I love them all the same. I’m doing this not only to earn a little extra income , I truly love animals. I am extremely flexible with my time and fees. I will work with anyone and I available on short notice. Have a wonderful day and Thank you! I’m up early and have a flexible lunch , so I’m almost always available to fit into your pets schedule. I get off in the early evening so it gives me plenty of time to be with your animals I always make sure the animals are in a fenced yard or on a leash if needed. I always make sure doors are closed as well as crates of animal are in one.




11. Tristin W.

“Tristin just sat with our dogs for the week. She was very sweet and the boys were in great spirits when we got home last night. She was also a super-nice house guest and even washed towels, etc. our Pomeranian is older and has to take insulin shots and is also deaf and blind. Our lab is super shy. Needless to say, they have some very special needs and Tristin was able to care for them no problem. She can really roll with the punches. We look forward to having her care for our doggies again soon.”


12. Tara S.

About: Hello! My name is Tara Shewmaker. My Mom and I have decided to open our home to care for dogs! I do work, but my Mom, Becky, is retired and flexible. We work together to give your fur babies the best care possible. I have grown up with a house full of animals and my Mom does transport for dog rescue organizations. We have 2 mature dogs at our home that are older, but still very active! Remy, age 7, is a Shar Pei mix and is a kind soul even when dogs with less than nice manners act out towards him. He is the best mentor dog that gets along with everyone and all animals. Oscar is our 14 YO Maltese mix, he loves to sleep and bark. Let me know what your doggy needs are and I will do my best to accommodate you! I work, but my Mom, Becky is retired, and she is subsequently flexible and available. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a medium backyard with a privacy fence. We also have a doggy door to a large deck for lounging. Of course you are welcome to visit and view our home at drop off or by appointment before.


13. Robin R.
“Robin (he goes by his middle name, “David”) was great. He watched my senior pom for one night in my place and made sure he got lots of time outside and fed him and gave him his medicine.”


14. Madison W.
“I have known Madison for many years, in in this time I have been able to witness the many qualities that would make her a wonderful candidate for this position. She is extremely kind and patient, clean and respectful, as well as creative and determined. She has a big heart, I often see it when she interacts with my two fur babies at home as she plays with them and gives them lots of love. She is always reliable with any plans that we make whether it be to run errands or when she helps me take care of my home when I am on vacation. She is a grade-A college student and plays soccer while getting an education, which I think shows her character of how well-versed and organized she is.”




15. Angela S.

“Angela is a hardworker and motivated to finishing the task at hand. She has excellent customer service with a can do attitude. She's a good keeper.”


16. Allyson A.
About: I've been around animals all of my life. Have also spent plenty of time volunteering at local animal shelters (mostly Humane Society of Pulaski County), helping out in any way that I can. Mu schedule is pretty flexible during the weekdays. My best time is around lunchtime and early afternoon (12-4). I am completely open during the weekend. I currently have a cat and two dogs. Even with all of the care care they require on a day to day basis, I'm still up for giving your pet(s) all the care and attention they need.


17. Jennifer R.

“Jennifer was awesome with our home and pet. She kept us in the loop with text and pics. She actually went to PetSmart and spent her own money on a medication for a hot spot. The house was spotless, and Bella is missing her already. We will use her again if she is available. Thanks Jennifer!!”


18. Danielle D.
“Danielle is an incredibly caring, attentive, and experienced dog owner and sitter. Entrusting her with your furry family members is easy, because you know that she will give them the level of love and care they deserve.”


19. Shelby H.
About: Having two labs, takes a lot of love, time and effort. It also takes understanding, I've had to understand they need something totally different than most and that is lots and lots of time outside to run around and play. I love being around animals, my two labs happen to be my emotional support animals. So I know firsthand how much your fur babies mean to you! They are part of the family!! Daily Monday thru Friday some weekends. I like to leave weekends for my family. If I am needed though we can work something out! 😍😍😍 My fur babies have e collars when they go outside for run time. We also go to play yards and play. We get treats that are homemade, yummy.They also get walked on their leashes sometimes and go on long walks




20. Courtney G.
“Courtney loves all dogs and would be a great sitter for you! She grew up in a home that always had dogs and is obsessed with snuggling and taking pictures of Lola, her family's Maltese and of Benny, her sister's dog. In fact, she entered Benny's birthday pictures to the website "We Rate Dogs" and they published the pics in their 2019 calendar, Courtney is a proud aunt! She will be very attentive to your pup and give him/her lots of love while you are away.”
