House Sitting in Carthage

“Abbey house sat for our lab mix Finn for 6 days on pretty short notice. Finn is a very anxious dog when meeting new people and Abby was quickly able to get his trust. She was very responsive and everything went very well.”

About: IVDD-experienced dachshund mom with hands-on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high-energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm, structured care, closely follow routines, use crate training when appropriate, have a fenced yard, and offer IVDD-safe handling, walks, interactive play, and regular updates.

“Trinity was absolutely fabulous with our pets. She communicated with us daily and sent us photos of our dogs and kitty having the best time. She went above and beyond with our furry kids.”

“Kari went above and beyond caring for my dog. She was kind and helpful. I couldn’t recommend her more. She sent frequent updates with pictures. She made sure he was pampered and loved. I felt at ease knowing my dog was cared for. She definitely treated him like he was her own. Kari is amazing and would recommend her to anyone! I will be booking with her again!”

About: I have taken care of animals for sixty plus years. Friends and family have entrusted me with caring for their pets. I have always had animals in my life. I am a retired nurse I am available to care for pets most days. I am trustworthy dependable and caring. Animals are a blessing to me. I have a huge fenced in backyard, with two friendly golden retrievers who would love to play with your pet. Also I can crate if needed.

About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. If needed, I can provide house sitting on weekends. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.

“Ally has been an absolute dream to our family! She loves our pups so much and always makes sure I get updates on how they're doing. She leaves the house exactly as we left it when she leaves and is always so sweet and kind. We love Ally!”

“Zoe was great with our two dogs Shadow and Scout! She was a great communicator, dependable, kind, clean, and our dogs absolutely adored her. We will definitely book Zoe again!”

“I love that Aimee came for a very thorough "meet n greet". Aimee was wonderful with our two dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. She always got back to me as soon as I texted her. Thank you Aimee for allowing me to feel as ease right away with leaving our babies. Overall positive experience. Thank you.”

Tracey D.

“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”

Eliza F.

“Samantha took great care of my dog and cat while we were away. Getting pictures and updates really set me at ease.”

Savanna G.

“Brownie needs more interaction with people on an ongoing basis without mom around. Kelly did the best she possibly could with a scared dog. Thank you for trying so hard and giving him his treats. Hopefully he will get there soon. Thanks Kelly for the updates and pictures.”

“Anabel was great! She provided lots of updates with pictures/videos. We felt no stress, and knew our girls were in good hands! We even came home to our house being cleaner than we left it. Thanks Anabel! 😊”

“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I offer reliable, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, quiet company, or playtime in the yard, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, consistent, and experienced with both high energy dogs and those who prefer a slower pace. My goal is to keep their routine steady, provide plenty of attention, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I will always do my best to follow your pets schedule each day to help create a low stress stable environment. Please reach out to me for special requests. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with patience, consistency, and attention to detail. For new clients I like to try and have a introduction to help build trust and familiarity. During walks and drop in visits, I make sure dogs get the right mix of exercise, structure, and positive interaction to keep them happy and healthy. For overnight stays, I focus on maintaining their normal routine meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection so they feel secure and comfortable in their own home. My approach is calm, reliable, and based on understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs.

“Repeat happy client! Our pets adore Abigail. She is responsible, responsive, and conscientious. She is also very knowledgeable about animal behavior and care. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around pets my entire life. Recently volunteered at a wildlife rescue sanctuary in Costa Rica full time for a month. Worked at several other sanctuaries and the Hamilton County Humane Society. Love all animals. Respect all living things:-) I’m self-employed and work mostly from home. I enjoy taking several walks a day so why not take the walks with a dog or cat:-) Pretty flexible lifestyle overall. I Have two of my neighbor's cats that visit me often so all dogs i board must be Cat friendly. I only board dogs from one family at a time for safety. Full attention on your pet. Fenced in yard and happy to let the dog sleep on the bed if that’s what they are used to. Also, dogs are welcome on the furniture.
