“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.”
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 had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!
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.
About: I grew up around dogs and had a dog for fifteen years. I have walked,fed,and bathed dogs before. I have dog sat for many people that included walking them,feeding them and playing with them. I can do nights on the weekdays and all day and night Saturdays. I am also available all day on Sundays.I can walk,fed,bathe and play with dogs. I have a very dog friendly complex in a quiet setting. I live right next to parks and walking trails that dogs walk on easily.
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.

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.”
