“Spencer was wonderful! Jackson loved him immediately ( very rare) he was give extra time and attention when he wasn’t eating! I’d recommend him highly… I will definitely use Spencer again!”

“We highly recommend Catherine! We are repeat clients, and we again came home to 4 happy and healthy kitties! Our former feral even warmed up to her enough for pets! Catherine also brought in our mail and offered to put our trash cans out while we were gone! We are so fortunate to have Catherine take care of our furbabies!”

“Rayelle was awesome! She took great care of our kitties while we were gone and I could tell that she genuinely cared for her feline clients. 100% trust her in our home and with our pets. We'll definitely be looking to Rayelle the next time that we need pet sitting.”


“Jason's help is so appreciated! Our dog Sam was well taken care of (feeding & walking). It looks like Sam made new friends and had fun playing. We would ask for him to come sit Sam again. Thank you !”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and other animals my entire life. I've worked at a few rescues and I feel like I can work with any pet. I have epilepsy and so I have had a very difficult time keeping any traditional job and so I have a lot of down time right now. I love animals. I remember when I was young, I wanted to be a zoo keeper and I spelled it "zoo kepper". Currently I have two dogs and one cat and they are my heart. My main concern in water. I want to make sure my dogs (or any dog) always has access to water. Everyone has specific ways of caring for their pets. Personally, I like to play with my dogs and make sure they are as happy as can be. My cat just wants love so we give her lots of love.
About: I work full time as a remote paralegal at a law firm. I own 4 fur babies of my own and know how important it is for them to get the care and attention that they deserve. Don’t stress while you are away at the office, because I am here to give them all the love and attention for you. I work full time as a remote paralegal and therefore am able to stop by your home during the day or night to check on your fur babies for you. I care for your dogs as if they are my own. Walks, play time, daily massages and kisses. If your dog requires certain accommodations I am happy to comply with those specifics as well.
About: I have worked with pets for all of my adult life. I began working at an animal shelter in Kentucky and volunteering with several rescues at age 19. I have sense transitioned into a career in veterinary medicine. I have some training experience from previous jobs and have experience with many different breeds. I’m experienced with senior pet care as well as administering medication! I have recently found out I am pregnant so I am now home daily for pet care. Can provide frequent potty breaks for puppies or older pets. I also have a young dog of my own for playing. We have a small fenced yard, for larger or more high energy pets we do leash walk if okay with owner. I have lick mats and puzzle feeders for more high energy pets that I do not mind providing.

“Laurel did a wonderful job. I was in a bind with short notice and she promptly responded to me and helped navigate me through the website. Had a nice meet and greet with the pets, who enjoyed her attention. She followed my requests and even added in some thoughtful tasks herself. I was notified when she visited and even got pics of my pup! Most important to me is a pet sitter who is dependable, responsible and communicates. Looking forward to using Laurel in the near future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and various other animals for 9 years now. We have 2 dogs of our own a GSP puppy and a creme Labrador. They are both friendly pups. I am currently working part time at AMR and am a stay at home mom full time due to my daughters care needs. We are home daily and would be around to play with your fur family and keep them company while you are gone! We allow dogs inside and on the furniture. We have a fenced in front yard that the dogs can go outside and potty and play in. They can go on walks as we live on a almost 3 acre farm.
About: I have had dogs and cats, newborn to senior since I was grade school age. Never had a house without animals. They are a joy to be around. Would love to help care for your members of your family I am retired, and have two amazing cats. I am available to care for your pets when needed. Always have time for the love of animals. I would follow the instructions you have for your home and pets. Can bathe/groom them and give medication if needed. I'm the first of your home.
About: What sets me apart is my background as a veterinary technician. I’m experienced in administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and following detailed care routines. I stay calm in unexpected situations and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll receive knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to their needs. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as extended care when needed. My routine allows pets frequent check-ins, consistent feeding times, medication administration, and plenty of attention and supervision. I have multiple areas in my home where your pet can stay either with my pets or separately, depending on their comfort level. Pets are welcome inside, and if they prefer or require crate time, I’m happy to provide a crate as well. I prioritize a calm, safe, and flexible environment tailored to each pet’s needs.

“My kitties love Edyn, they were happy to play and get attention from her. My female cat can be pretty finicky on who she let's pet her, and Edyn is allowed to, so a big win.”


“Melissa was awesome!! We had just moved to area and needed to find a dog sitter last minute. She was able to accommodate our very last minute notice and has always been super responsive and personable. She has watched our dogs twice now and I would highly recommend. We will be using Melissa’s service in the future!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from gentle senior cats to rowdy, playful pups. My background in a pet store taught me animal behavior, nutrition, and how to make every pet feel safe and happy. I’m skilled at giving medications, handling high-energy pets, and offering extra TLC to seniors. With me, your furry friend will get expert care, plenty of love, and endless tail wags! Pet care is part of my everyday life—I share my home with three of my own furry companions, so love, playtime, and feeding schedules are already built into my routine. I’m used to early morning walks, regular grooming, cuddle breaks, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s simply part of who I am.🐾💕 I make safety my first priority, keeping pets happy and secure. I care for each pet as if they are my own. All animals deserve kindness, respect, and purrr-sonalized care.😌

Rayelle was fantastic while caring for our cat for 10 days. She was prompt at the 2 drop in visits per day, gave him lots of love and scrubbles while there. Kept the litter box clean and everything nice for our return. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for others who have to leave their fur babies!

This trip was a bit longer than usual but I had peace of mind knowing Zoe was there to take care of Abby. She is always on time and keeps in touch with many photos. I love the report cards she sends me too. Very detailed with all going on with my cat. She is fantastic!

Hallie was able to help us out last minutes when we had a flight get canceled. She went in without being able to do a meet and greet and was able to take care of our pets until the next day when we could get home. Can’t wait to do a proper meet and greet and use her again!
