“Hayley was a great drop in pet sitter for my kitty, Blackie. Her daily visits, pictures and info on how Blackie was doing each day made me feel that she wasn't missing us too much. The house and Blackie were great when we arrived home. The litter boxes were cleaned and any trash from feedings were taken care of. I would highly recommend Hayley as a wonderful pet sitter!”
“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.”
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: I’ve been caring for pets for years, and it’s something I truly love. From energetic puppies to wise senior pets, I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing them with the best care possible. In high school, I worked as a dedicated dog walker, gaining hands-on experience with different breeds and temperaments. Later, I had the opportunity to work as a vet tech assistant, where I learned valuable skills in pet health, behavior, and medical care. This experience gave me the ability to recognize signs of distress, administer basic pet care, and ensure pets are happy and comfortable. I’m also experienced in training puppies, reinforcing good behavior, and providing gentle support to senior pets who need extra patience and care. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or simply companionship, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them like family, and I look forward to creating a happy, stress-free experience for both of you! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so you can count on me to be there when you book! Pet care is part of my daily routine, and I love ensuring animals feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special care, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. From extra exercise to medication or just companionship, I always prioritize their well-being and treat them like family. If you schedule me, I will be there! I will not agree to any schedule if I do not 100% know I can accommodate those times. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care experience. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their routine—whether it’s feeding, exercise, medication, or special care needs. I ensure pets feel safe, respected, and well cared for while keeping their space clean and stress-free. Above all, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and personalized attention, so owners can feel confident their furry friends are in good hands

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!*
“Katie was super sweet, very personable, willing to accomodate a last minute change & amazing with our pup. I highly recommend booking with her if you are in the Cookeville are. Thank you!!! ❤️”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I left high school. I have a 6 year old Pomeranian . I’ve watched family and friends animals for years. I’m a RN and work 3 days a week and I have a set schedule. I would only book my appointments for the days I will be off so I can focus completely on taking care of the pets. I have a fenced in back yard and one dog who are willing to play and show your dog around. We will be excited to meet your babies!
About: I am very passionate about keeping your pet safe and active. I have a very flexible schedule and can even take your animal to parks, appointments, or just for car rides. I have a very flexible schedule and can help be apart of walking your pet. I am very active myself so I can also help burn some of your pets energy! I have a fenced yard and 1 adorable dog that will get along with any animal. He will also help give your dog company. :)
