About: Linger Longer Dog Retreat — Where dogs vacation! Need a lift? We offer pick-up and drop-off for boarding! At Linger Longer Dog Retreat, when you’re away, your dog isn’t just boarded—they’re on a cozy, farm-style holiday filled with love, fresh air, and fun. Here, every pup becomes part of the family, enjoying wide-open spaces to explore, snuggles, and the peaceful rhythm of country life. To make things even easier, we offer convenient pick-up and drop-off times—and transportation is available if you need a hand getting your pup to and from the our place. We’re here to help your dog (and you) have the smoothest, happiest experience possible. I am retired and love animals. We have 18 acres to walk on and play. For dogs that come frequently we do have an invisible fence and can easily train pups to give them larger free range running. I have plenty of land to walk dogs on and a way to bath pups before returning home to you. Home has separate areas for each boarding puppy at night. We offer pet pick-up and drop-off to make leaving town or returning home less hectic.

“Ty did an amazing job! We have quite a house full of dogs and cats and she was able to manage all of them beautifully. All my dogs couldn’t get enough love and attention from her while she was at our home. Ty has a natural gift when it comes to caring for animals and I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone needing a house sitter for your fur babies!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Kayla absolutely put our minds at ease. We have two cats who love attention, and that’s just want Kayla did. She was great at communicating before and during the visit. Definitely recommend!”

“Jennifer is wonderful! She’s attentive and cares for my two senior doggos as if they are her own. She goes above and beyond, is a great communicator, and just a kind person overall. Highly recommend choosing Jennifer for top notch pet care!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! We have a German Shepard and mini poodle. I really enjoy dog sitting and getting to know and love your pet! I’m currently working full time, in the city of New Albany. I have a pretty flexible job, so I am able to leave when needed! My home is next door to my job, so I am able to check on dogs who are in my home at anytime. I am available any time on the weekends. I enjoy watching pets. I will be sure the pet does not mess up the home and will ensure that we will play together. If there is a fenced in yard, we will play there and go on walks.

About: There have been several dogs, cats, and more in my household since I was a child. I have about 3 years experience with pet sitting for pets other than my own. I am experienced with handling special needs pets including medicine administration, feeding young puppies/kittens, and caring for senior dogs and cats. I'm currently a full-time nursing student, so I will be balancing your pet's needs beside my classes and clinicals. I can board over weekends, and on select days of the week (Monday, Friday).

I can handle dogs with guarding issues. I will prioritize your pet's safety and comfort, and needs over everything else else.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a little girl ! I want to say about 10 years !! I love dogs and cats ! I’m currently working on a farm with dogs for boarding and day care but I can take care of your pet when needed!! Thank you ! I have a big yard and friendly pups and if pup needs crate I can provide!

About: Had to make new account *** Hi, my name is Carson! I have been dog sitting for 10 years now. In high school I worked at Sidle Hill Farms (Dog boarding) in Southhaven, MS. I then gained clients and have been pet sitting from my home and others ever since. I have always dreamed of opening my own dog boarding and then remember I won't even take my own dog to be boarded! That is why I do what I do now, to nurture to love and to calm your pets nerves. I understand that it can be sometimes even more nerve racking for the owner then the pet... I am that owner! My husband Alex and I live in Oakland, Tn with a gorgeous fenced in yard as pictured. I work from home and usually never leave the house unless I go to Walmart up the street. We do not have any children and do not plan on it anytime soon! We are totally content with fur babies for now! A typical day at our home for your pet would include waking up in our bed, breakfast, mornings outside pending on weather (I have an outdoor desk), playing with millions of toys we can't seem to stop buying and of course when Alex comes home a walk around the neighborhood. We can't wait to meet you and your sweet fur baby! Dogs and cats are my whole life I care for them just as children. I love exercise and getting outside so pet care has come as a joy to me not just a chore. Dog walking, bathing, playing, co sleeping, cooking for pets if needed, taking them to groomers ect.. I am available to your pets needs as well as yours!

About: I’ve owned different breeds of dogs from pit bulls to chihuahuas. Growing up I was the dog sitter for everyone around. I bathed walked and took care of them mostly from the comfort of their own homes as their owners were away on trips. I am between jobs rn so for the next couple weeks I am completely free any time of day any day for whatever needs my pets may need. My yard is not fenced in so outside time at my house will consist of being walked on a leash for as long as the dogs may need. But otherwise they will be inside.

“Adel is the best! He has watched our pups numerous times and always does an amazing job. The dogs love him and we feel good knowing that we can travel without stress because we know they are happy and well taken care of. He also takes great care of the house and even did laundry! Would recommend him 100%”

“Sweet pea seemed happy when we got home. She has food and water in her bowl and no accidents. Looks like she was taken care of. Thank you Malala.”

About: Hi my name is Steve I'm a 58-year-old retired male who has had pets my whole life. I have been providing over-night pet/house sitting for 20 plus years with many repeat customers. I have provided stays from a "long week-end" to 7 weeks at time. I am trustworthy and dependable on each and every job. I believe its easier for pets to get more comfortable with a new person rather then a new environment. Pets also love their routines so following them is very important to me. Some of my included duties are mail collection, garbage collection, plant watering, and keeping your pets and home safe while your away. If this sounds interesting to you please contact me, references upon request. I'm retired, so I'm available for 24/7 pet care in your home, so your pets dont spend too much time alone. I will give constant attention as needed, to make sure they know they are special. I believe in keeping with your pet's routines, from waking up, playtime, feeding, and to bedtime. I also believe its easier for pet to get used to a new person instead of a new environment.

“Rachel was amazing! All of our animals were very well taken care of. She sent pics of them everyday, and told me how they were doing. She also noticed one of our cats was being bullied when it came to food, which we hadn't noticed. Now that kitty is eating again and loving life. She definitely went above an beyond what was expected! We got a few inches of snow, and she had the driveway all clear for us when we came home. I will absolutely be using her again!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities throughout my life. Growing up, I always had a dog in the house, which helped me develop a strong love and understanding of animals from an early age. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay overnight with their pets while they’re away. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve been asked back multiple times by the families I’ve helped, which reflects the trust and reliability I bring to every pet I care for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I currently work part-time cleaning homes and typically finish my workday and return home around 2:00 PM. This gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and overnight care. I am hoping to make pet sitting a larger priority in my schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for every pet I work with. I make sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every fur baby with the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. I have a friendly pet who can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around other animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, and I am happy to accommodate specific requests to help them feel comfortable and safe. From feeding schedules and medication administration to extra playtime, walks, or special sleeping arrangements, I strive to provide personalized care that keeps both pets and owners happy.

“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”

I also have had many years of experience with puppy handling, I understand the dedication it takes to raise wonderful babies! I’m here to help!
