“Haley did a fantastic job taking care of my two kitties. She handled the medicine for one cat and the shyness of the other cat very well. They told me they want Haley to be their only sitter.”
“Mariah did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my 3 cats. She provided updates daily and sent pictures when cat made an appearance. I will definitely use Mariah next time my 3 cats need a babysitter.”
“Laura was amazing! Her communications made us feel at ease leaving our older kitties in someone else’s care for the first time! The pictures showed just how at ease the kitties were too. When we met Laura for the first time before she took care of them, we knew she would be a perfect fit and we were right. When we arrived home, the kitties and our home were happy as could be! Thanks Laura!”
About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was born, and have raised and cared for them since I was old enough to help. I have done drop-ins, pet sitting, dog-walking, and even dog massage for friends and family for years. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and even a few chickens, too! Others would argue I love animals more than people (they may be right about that, ha!) I am a retired massage therapist and self-published author with time on my hands (pun absolutely intended). Between writing chapters (or bouts of writer's block) I am open for pet care most of the day until the evening, with some night time hours available upon request :) I am clean, compassionate, and considerate. I leave my clients' homes just as I found them - unless the pet has had an accident in which case I'll clean that up before leaving :) I am happy to love on my clients' pets as if they were my own, and take caring for them very seriously.
About: I have over 30 years of volunteer work at animal shelters working with at risk dogs. I have 2 high energy, stong willed dogs of my own. I bring a strong, yet calm engagement with every sort of dog personality by carefully observing their behaviors and approaching them in a way that generates comfort while displaying my authority. I am very flexible within reason. I work from home and own my own company. I really prefer an intro meet with you and your baby prior to first engagement if possible. That allows me to understand the dogs and see your manners/handling. It also allows me to build comfort with your dog and make them less stressed when I show up. I live on over 40 acres. I will align to your specific wants and needs regarding care whether that be in your home or at mine. I can crate overnight, walk frequently and for the durations you want. I build rapport through calm, confident engagement with your dog and you. Open communications with a willingness to express issues with kindness is key to a strong and genuine relationship/team effort.
“Cheryl is so wonderful. My dogs love her (even my picky Chihuahua). She is reliable, kind, trustworthy and truly loves animals. If you have Cheryl as your sitter your fur babies will be spoiled and happy.”
About: With 3 dogs of my own I am quite familiar with dog care, 7 cats, and 50+ reptiles. I am able to administer medication, walks, enrichment, and photo updates. I would love to chat further, I look forward to hearing from you! -Julia I work from home part time and pick my own schedule. My availability is open throughout the week for pet care. When I’m not working I am caring for my multitude of animals. I’m an active person who loves to stimulate your dogs individual needs. Wether is fetch, walk, or a run around the park I am able to help your furry friends have a more enriching life.
About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
“Cheyenne is amazing! I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was well taken care of during the drop in visits. I always received updates and pictures through out my time away. My pet loved her too! I will definitely use her again. :)”
“Nina is the best! She was so reliable and professional. She came by my home daily to take care of my 3 Large Pups while I had to go on an extended business trip. Nina put my mind at ease while I was away. Nina is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Excellent...many thanks Nina!”
“Diane is absolutely amazing! She always sends us photos when she comes to check on our cat, and I know that she is taking great care of her while we are away. Could not ask for a more reliable, professional, and caring person to be taking after our pet while we are gone!”
“Larisa was wonderful - very responsible, caring and willing to help. She went above and beyond. I only wish Max would have been more friendly and come out from hiding 🫣. I highly recommend Larisa for your pet care.”
About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!
“Samantha was so sweet! We did a meet and greet before our drop ins and she made us feel so good about leaving our kitties for her to check in on them! Will definitely be using her again if she’s available!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14. Between neighbors, family, and friends. I feed, bathe, walk, and play with them as much as I can I currently do not work full time or part time. I stay home with my two year old and enjoy every day of it just need a change. My yard is not fenced but we live on 2.5 acres. I have a friendly dog that could keep your fur baby company or be separated, whatever makes you comfortable.

Tanner K.
“Tanner has always done such an amazing job caring for my babies! There aren’t many people I trust with them, but the care and compassion he shows them is the same they receive from me. From play time, meal time, treat time, and even giving medication he goes above and beyond for them. I can tell from the moment he walks in the door they’re so excited to see him which makes me feel very comfortable to leave them in his hands. My mother’s dog is very fearful and hesitant of new people, but welcomed Tanner in because of his patience with him. I can truly say he is amazing with all animals no matter the breed, shape, or size and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to make their babies feel loved while we cannot be there for them.”
