She spends lots of time with our guys, makes sure our dog gets out for walks (even when the weather isn't great), and takes incredibly great care of our house! She goes above and beyond to ask if there are things around the house she can help with, like watering plants or getting garbage cans out. We'd love to have her back in the future!”
“Wonderful, sent me pictures every day I was gone. Let me know if anything went on. Very communicative.”
“Kris was absolutely wonderful with our 4 babies. She treated them like her own and loved them so much. We have 2 that aren’t a big fan of meeting new people and she even had them coming up to her and loving on her. She sent several pictures throughout her stay so that we knew the kiddos were having fun and doing well. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.
“Alli did a great job taking care of my pup. On time, professional, and willing to accept the job last minute. Will definitely ask to pet sit again.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always ended up having dogs that are in some cases special needs. I truly love to be around animals because their happiness is so pure. I am a nurse by day and an animal cuddler by night. I am able to give medication’s. I work on basic commands. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior. If there is something specific that needs to be taken care of while taking care of your loved one, I will definitely work something out. I am currently taking a vacation between my travel contract for nursing and will be available throughout the day. If there is a specific time or day that works best for you, I will try to make it as easy on you as possible. I typically will have the animal on a leash if there is not a fenced in backyard. Of course, depending on the situation I will allow the owner to guide me on how they prefer to have the animal leashed and will take the precautions necessary to keep them safe.
About: My services are personalized to each animal's personality and requirements, guaranteeing a safe, joyful, and enriching experience under my supervision, providing owners with peace of mind.

Additionally, I have full availability on Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays, (anytime) which I dedicate to longer visits, extended play sessions, and any special care routines your pets may require. This flexible schedule ensures your pets' needs are always met with enthusiasm and reliability. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's, safety, trust, and a positive environment are my top priorities.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life! All of my dogs have been raised by me since birth, and I easily fall for puppy dog eyes I’m currently a college student back home for summer break with a ton of extra time! I’m looking to keep my schedule busy helping others around and near me. I treat any animal I see or visit as if they were my own!! I have so much love for every fur baby out there.
About: I grew up around dogs. I got my first dog when I was born, and we grew up together. Dog sitting over the years has been a wonderful and enriching experience for me. Spending time with different breeds, each with their own unique personalities, has taught me a lot about canine behavior and care. i’m currently an active student athlete in college. But whenever I’m home, I’m spending my days with my four dogs. If you see my calendar open, please go ahead and book me and please let me to spend my days with your dog animals. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. We have a big back yard and front yard. many dog crates + Dog bowls. We have a trail to walk the dogs on so they can get exercise.

About: I’ve been babysitting childrenfor the past 5 years, as well as taking care of pets overnight and never had an unhappy client. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have trained every pet in my home! I’m currently a pre-med psychology student at Belmont, so weekends and any evening after 3 I am available to come walk your pups! I am also available on the mornings of Tuesday and Thursday until 1:30 :) I have experience with crating puppies, as well as being able to move bigger, older dogs. I have tons of energy so walking will never be an issue! My car is dog friendly if needed, and I have endless patience with animals- your puppies will be treated like part of my family :)
“Sarah is conscientious an follows your care guidelines when caring for our dogs which we like. The house is all was clean and tidy when we get back home.”
“Molly was a dream come true. She was friendly and energetic and made sure my baby didn't even realize I wasn't there. I hired her to stay at my house for the weekend and she was very respectful of my home. The only bad thing would probably be my dog was happy I was home but asking where Molly was and when she'd come back. Pretty sure he didn't even miss me with all the love, attention and spoiling. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: Retired police officer. I have the time and patience to take care of all types of pets. Taken care of many pets of my own and of friends. I am a retired police office and can adjust my a schedule to what best fits your pet. Don’t go out of town much, so I am usually available I have 2 friendly dogs and 2 friendly cats in the house. I have 10 acres. Not fenced, but open fields with paths cut all through it for long walks.
About: 1. DOGS (15+ years) 2. CATS (15+ years) 3. MEDICATIONS 4. CANINE BASIC OBEDIENCE TRAINING Your animal's wellbeing... be a working animal or a family pet... ALWAYS comes first... EVERY TIME... They are all treated with the same level of care and respect that I treat my own. When you're gone... they become a member of MY pack... and they are treated as such. First... don't be afraid to ask questions. I'm easy going, laid back, friendly and approachable. If you have a question... just ask... Second... Pet care IS my life... it's what I enjoy doing and it's what I'm good at. I try to circulate my "rounds" to make sure animals... especially dogs... are let out every 6-8 hours. Puppies and senior are visited more frequently. I specialize in KENNEL management... feel free to reach out for specific rates. I do also offer basic CANINE Grooming services: Bath - Small Breeds ($25) Medium Breeds ($30) Large Breeds ($35) Extra Large Breeds ($40) DeShed - Small Breeds ($25) Medium Breeds ($30) Large Breeds ($35) Extra Large Breeds ($40) Nails - All Breeds ($15) Full Basic Groom Package (Full DeShed Protocol, Bath, and Nails) - Small Breeds ($40) Medium Breeds ($50) Large Breeds ($60) Extra Large Breeds ($70) Small Breeds (<20 lbs) Medium Breeds (20-50 lbs) Large Breeds (50-80 lbs) Extra Large Breeds (>80 lbs) I provide all my own product and equipment... all I need is your tub or shower... preferably with a removable shower head. (Note: I leave very little footprint wherever I am, regardless of time, place, season, or circumstance... the utmost care will be taken in all areas of the home... Your home is treated with the same level of dignity, cleanliness, care, and respect as I do my own). Independent grooming appointments can be arranged with advanced notice. Any special instructions must be discussed in advance and may be subject to additional charges. I specialize in IN-HOME pet care. I feel like this is the best option because it's always hard on pets to be separated from their families and IN-HOME pet care will minimize and limit stressors on your pet... such as removal from their home... strange surroundings... unknown smells... animals they don't know. IN-HOME pet care allows your pet to stay in their own home... their own space... surrounded by what is familiar and comforting to them. I have just found that pets are happier this way. It gives them the much needed reassurance that their family is coming back for them.
