“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!”



“Laura was very patient with my nervousness of leaving our pet family. Loved getting the cards with pictures and updates it helped ease my anxiety. Great response time when I asked a question. Even did an extra drop in when my dog hadn't pooped. Very kind gal. Will be booking her again and telling friends.”


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: 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.

“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!”


About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve helped raise both a puppy and a kitten, gaining hands-on experience with everything from training to daily care. For the past year, I’ve been dog and house sitting, and I’m excited to continue building my experience while providing loving, reliable care for your pets! During the summertime, my availability differs with my work schedule; however, my mornings and nights offer plenty of free-time! I'm also currently a student at Tennessee Tech University, so my schedule will include school hours beginning in August, the start of our fall semester. I keep my cat indoors, as I feel this is the safest option for her. My dog is primarily an indoor dog, as we do not have fences; however, he is fairly well trained. *I do not provide any services in my own home, due to my pets and other personal factors!*

“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: 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!

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.
