About: With 15 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I’m passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry family members. My focus is on cat care, from cuddly kittens to elderly cats needing special attention. I have experience bottle-feeding kittens, caring for sickly or senior cats, and administering oral medication. I’m also available for dog walking and house sitting. Growing up, I cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from toy poodles to Rottweilers. I can administer medication to dogs and follow specific, medically necessary food regimens if your pet has special needs. I’m used to walking dogs who require hyper-awareness around other animals and am always alert to ensure their safety. I am very communicative and devoted to treating your pets with respect and love while you’re away. Whether you need someone to care for your cat, take your dog on adventures, or provide peace of mind while house sitting, I’m here to help! I am available to care for your pets anytime as pet care is my full-time job. I’m committed to making time for your furry friends and ensuring they get the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Before caring for your furry family member, I take the time to ask detailed questions about their routines, habits, and preferences. From feeding schedules and medication needs to favorite toys and comfort spots, I ensure I have all the information necessary to provide consistent, loving care. I also prioritize maintaining a safe environment while staying in your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet feels secure and at ease in their familiar space. Whether it’s sticking to their daily routine, managing their unique needs, or creating a calm atmosphere, I’m dedicated to keeping them happy and stress-free. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the utmost care and respect while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way for added peace of mind.

About: I have a sweet golden Retriever named Betty, she loved to play with other dogs. My apartment even has a dog park. I have a large vehicle to load the pups for the park too! I am very open on the weekends and usually during the week I work 8-5 and go home at 12 for lunch to let the dogs out! I have a very friendly golden retriever who will get all your dogs energy out. She is crate trained and I am comfortable crating a dog if needed. I also have a travel crate for use.

“taylor was detailed and communicative in the care she provided - i felt very comfortable leaving my pets (and my thirsty porch plants) in her care - i will book her again next time i travel and i confidently recommend her to other folks - thanks, taylor! 🤍🤍”


About: I have 6 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 5 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heartworm. I have 5 boys and a girl. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night and if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard. We have a dog door, which is I usually open for periods when I'm home. They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. In case of emergency, the ER Vet is 10 minutes away, and my Vet is 10 minutes away. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years and also work at a dog boarding place, so I’m super comfortable with all kinds of dogs—puppies, seniors, big or small! I’ve given meds to older pups, done bath time, and taken dogs on plenty of long walks. I also house sit and make sure pets feel safe and happy while their people are away. I have dogs of my own, so I get how important it is to have someone you trust. I treat every pet like family! Caring for pets is an big part of my daily life. With my work at a dog boarding facility and my pet sitting duties, I am constantly surrounded by animals. My schedule revolves around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special care needs like medication or bathing. It's more than just a job to me—it's a passion that I truly love and enjoy every day! I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I stick to their routine, give them lots of attention, and keep the space clean and calm. Safety and trust always come first—I treat them like my own!

About: I’ve had pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs) for as long as I can remember! I’ve cared for pets for nearly 15 years and I have two babies of my own. My precious lab, Toast, and my sweet kitty, Catianna haha. I don’t have formal care experience but I have first hand experience and lots of love. I work nearly full time but I have a very flexible schedule. I accept last-minute requests and I am always willing to help out whenever needed. I live in a very dog friendly apartment community with both dog runs and dog parks, as well as a walking trail and ample sidewalk space. I always follow the rules and make sure to keep a close eye on all the babies.

“Anna was wonderful and sent pictures of Zoey and was very communicative. We booked with her last min and she was really responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be booking with Anna again for future sitting.”


“Sharon was great with our dogs. She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures, and even offered to to back and check on our pup again after she left and we were concerned about her being sick (which occurred before Sharon got there).”

About: With years of hands-on experience, I’ve been involved in every aspect of dog care—feeding, walking, some grooming, and training. I’ve worked on basic obedience with puppies, helping with potty training and socialization, as well as offering extra care for senior dogs, such as administering medication, managing joint issues, and maintaining special diets. My understanding of dog behavior and tailored approach ensures that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve, no matter their age or needs. I work from home most days, offering flexible pet care services. I'm available for daily walks, playtime, grooming, and overnight care to meet your pet's needs. I have a fenced in backyard along with a sweet and friendly fur baby to keep yours company. I also have a crate if necessary and space to keep them separate.

About: Hi there! My name is Matt and I’m a trusted Rover dog walker, drop-in visitor, and house sitter with 4 years of experience caring for pups like yours! 🐶 Dogs are family to me, and my top priority is keeping your furry friend comfortable, happy, and safe while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10 — starting with my family dog Sophie, who still lives with my parents in Franklin, and our other dog, Laci. Over the years, I’ve learned to read every dog’s needs — whether they want an energetic walk, a quick potty break, or a cuddle during overnight house sitting. You’ll never wonder how your pup’s doing — I always send lots of photos and videos during every walk, drop-in, or house sit. You’ll feel connected and reassured, even when you’re not home. Fun fact: I’ve even been written into two clients’ wills — a true sign of the trust I’ve earned and the bond I build with every dog. I’m also comfortable giving medications and caring for puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs. By the end of my first visit, I’ll probably be your dog’s new best friend. 🐾 I treat every pup like my own — because to me, they are. ✅ I only offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting — no at-home boarding. ✅ Every review on my profile is 100% real — I’ve never asked anyone to write one. 👉 Message me today — I’d love to help make your dog’s day amazing! I am home FULL TIME to provide the proper care and attention that I would want a dog sitter to provide if they were watching my dog. I also cook 99% of my meals at home, so the only time I leave the house is for errands like picking up my Kroger clicklist once a week I have a massive fenced in yard & the dogs are allowed everywhere in the house, including my bed and on my couch (contingent on you allowing your dogs on furniture as I have had dogs that I do not allow on my furniture per the owners request). I have multiple dog beds inside for the dogs. The fenced-in yard has a large 400 sq foot covered porch with an entire corner dedicated to the pups with a big dog bed & many different types of toys. Your pup will feel like they are living at the dog park while you are away on vacation (and every dog is always so worn out when they leave because of all the playtime outside haha). I have newly added a dog agility tunnel, dog pool & dog agility hoop😊
