“Jenna was wonderful. She watched our cat for a week a week. When we returned, our cat was relaxed and happy as if we had never been gone. She even took the extra step to open the curtains in the morning and close them at night so that our cat could have some stimulation. I would recommend Jenna to everyone. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I grew up on a farm in East TN. I love all animals. Your baby would feel right at home, be loved and spoiled. I am a stay at home mom, I am free all day every day. I have a senior dog, I have had him since he was 6 weeks old and he is now 11 years old. He has been raised around other dogs and cats. This is a NON-Smoking/Smoke free home. I strive to have an environment that is stress free and helps your pet feel safe. I do not allow any family/visitors while watching your pet.
About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.

“Our dogs did great with Milan for a weekend dog sitting! Milan was consistently on time and did great with keeping our dogs fed and taking them on walks. We really appreciate how well Milan communicated and shared pictures! That really gave us peace of mind while we took a weekend away. Our pups immediately were at ease with him when we first did our meet and greet, and were excited to see Milan each visit - even though they usually take a few minutes to warm up to strangers. He gave them plenty of scratches and loving when he dropped by and they were very relaxed and happy when we got back. Having Milan look after our pups while we took a weekend away was great for us, and we would definitely book him again, and would recommend him to anyone else!”
About: Through my animal science class, I am certified to not only care greatly for your dog but also for any farm animal you could think of. I’ve learned the ins and outs of what it takes to care for a dog! I am excited to care for your pet and give it as much love as you would! I believe in getting outside and having fun with our dogs! A healthy way to allow your dog to grow old with you is to let great walkers such as myself, to get outside with them! I am on summer break from college where I am double majoring in International relations and communications and am flexible throughout these coming weeks. I have open days and can fit in many walks a day. I care with safety as a number 1 priority for every animal and myself. I am firm and can tell a dog what it needs to hear. I am only willing to use my voice. I will never handle a dog or hit at any point during my visit.
“George did a great job taking care of my elderly cat, including giving daily medication. He kept me updated with regular photos and videos so I knew she was doing fine, and was well looked after.”
About: I've taken care of dogs in my home since I was 12. I have my own dog that I care for now. Molly is a 3-year-old mini Schnoodle! I have also done many pet sitting jobs for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a dog to keep your fur babies company. I will shower your dog with attention and playtime. I have an extra room in my house to board pets if needed. I'm currently working full time remotely so I have the availability to take the dogs on short walks throughout the day. Weekends are generally free. I have a small dog to keep your fur babies company. I live in a big neighborhood that I can take the dogs for walks in.
About: I was blessed as a child to have a life long pup. She was 15 years old so she grew up with me. Now I have 3 pups of my own that my children get the opportunity to grow up with! I have 2 doodles (one aussiedoodle, and the other is a Bernedoodle) the 3 red is a little Yorkie who I say is the “old grandpa” of the group! 🤣 I love every dog just as it would be my own. I have pup sat for several people but now thought I’d offer my services to others now as well. I look forward to meeting all of you as your pups or kitties! I work full time, but I can do weekends for drop ins, as well as evenings and early mornings. I’m am very open to talking about what your needs are as well. I like to see what you do with your pets daily, so that I can follow what you typically do during the day. I know animals do best when you can adhere to a schedule. 😊

Shira B.
“Shira is a great pet caregiver who I wholeheartedly recommend! She has plenty of experience caring for my husky cattle-dog mix, Ava. My dog adores Shira, and I completely trust her with her well-being. I can see her genuine love and excitement to care for Ava. She is compassionate and attentive to everyone’s needs and takes her responsibilities seriously. She’s honestly wonderful!”

Trinity B.
“Trinity has been a long-time dog lover of any dog that walks her path. So much so, that she now has a dog to call her own, Molly, and cares for that dog like it is just another member of the family. Not only does she provide Molly with a warm, loving home but she is also a responsible dog mom by making sure to go for plenty of walks, get the best dog food, and even the occasional dog cake to make Molly feel loved. I have no doubt that Trinity would bring this same affection to any dog in her care.”
Megan R.
“Hello! We had Megan R. as our pet sitter for over 10 years. She has watched our 2 Great Danes several times! Mostly for drop in visits for an hour at a time and she sends photos of play time every time she comes! It’s so nice to have someone that I trust, care for our pups! I also have asked her at times to check our pool when she is there and she’s done that too! It is worth every penny! Sincerely, Anna”
