“Mariah is a wonderful caregiver to our pups!! Mariah is always on time and great at communicating throughout the visit. Will keep going back to her as a caregiver for them.”
“Hayley was such a huge help in checking on our dogs and cats! She sent daily pictures of all of them and was communicative of anything going on with them! As first time users of pet-sitters my husband and I were nervous but after meeting Hayley a lot of our concerns were forgotten. We'll definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”
“Esther has been doing drop-in visits for our Bichon since early 2024. She is so dependable, knowledgeable and kind to our Lucy, and I cannot sing her praises enough. We willl be moving but if we ever are back in the area and need a pet sitter, Esther will be the first person I call. Thankful for all her help.”
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.
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 have had many dogs ranging from small to large and ive had a dog in my life almost all 18 years ive been alive and loved all of them dearly. currently im free 24/7 but starting this school year i will be at collage and be living in the dorm and my school day will end anywhere between 2:30 - 3:30 depending on the day after that im free besides any personal work. I love dogs and treat them with respect and care. I follow the rules my or your family has set for them and do my best to care for them.

“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!”
“Larisa was so great watching our two dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs fell in love with her at the meet & greet and we were immediately at ease knowing she would be great with them while we were gone. We were provided updates and pictures throughout the stay and returned home to happy & healthy puppies :) We will absolutely book her again! Thank you!”
“Tyler went above and beyond to care for my dog and cat! He sends several pictures and is very responsive with updates! He took the time to play with my animals and show them love. Highly recommended and will definitely use again!!”
About: I have had animals in my home since I was born. I have had small to large dogs, and believe that each requires love, nurture and one to one time to live the best life. I am adamant about taking my dogs out for exercise regardless of the weather, and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time! Any special needs your pet has, I can accommodate, whether medical or for comfort. I am flexible in my care routine, and open to feedback. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to play with and care for my animals at ease. I have a free schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and love to play with my animals outside. I have several dog beds and they find comfort on the couch!
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.
“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.
