About: I am a dog whisperer and a teacher. I am a husband, coach and father that will put your animals wants and needs first always! My family and I have dogs. 1 large breed, 1 medium breed. I walk them daily, work on commands and love playing in the backyard. I have a tall, fenced in backyard where the dogs play. I work on commands in the living room. My dogs have a designed sleeping area for our dogs.
“The best dog sitter ever!! Goes above and beyond. She takes great care of our 2 dogs and is such a blessing. My family experienced a tragedy and while I was out of town for the memorial service she folded my towels that I had left on a chair🥰 Very sweet and thoughtful lady (and her husband).”
“Paige is fantastic. She was able to be flexible with my crazy schedule and most importantly Tigger was perfectly cared for. I am so happy knowing Paige provides this service. I will be able to go away more now. Thanks Paige!”
“Blake did a great job taking care of our goats and chickens while we were away. He even came in extreme winter temperatures and snow to feed them all. I would recommend him to take care of any type of animal.”
About: I have been an animal sitter for several years and have loved every minute of it! I treat your fur babies how I would want my fur babies to be treated and loved. I currently work full time during the day. Over my animal sitting years, I make sure to take care of your animals in the morning before work, on my lunch break if needed and all evening after I get off of work. When I am with your fur babies, they get my full attention. I have stayed at clients homes with their animals several times over the last 8 years. I find it makes it easier for your fur babies to be in their own element while you are away.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals most of my life & they honestly make my life worth living. I can take really good care of your fur babies, if you give me the chance! As I was growing up, my grandparents had about 20 Chihuahuas (give or take) a couple pit bulls, gecko's, pet rats, pet snakes, guinea pigs and many more animals. I'm a genuine, honest, loving, caring, outgoing, fun and a very respectful person. You won't ever have to worry about your fur babies when I'm around or your belongings for house sittings. Im going to college in late summer/early fall 2025 to become a vet assistant & this is good experience I can offer for future jobs! Book with me today! As of right now, I'm available anytime to take care of your fur babies. Last minute, days, nights, overnights, I got you. Hope to meet you soon! There is plenty of yard for your dogs to run, lots of room inside for your cat to roam, & I've got a crate if needed. I will buy your fur babies special treats & toys.
About: I have cared for animals of all kinds—cats, dogs, and birds—since I was a kid. My experience includes caring for my own dogs, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs like managing diabetes. I also volunteer at Jeffersonville Animal Shelter, where I walk puppies and help get them some fresh air and exercise. Additionally, I’ve had the opportunity to care for coworkers’ dogs, which has made me comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds—no dog is too small, big, young, or old for me. My own fur baby sadly passed away this past April due to cancer, and because of that, I’m passionate about spreading love and care to as many animals as possible. This work means as much to me as it does to those I’m helping! I work Wednesday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6:30 PM, so I’m happily available to care for your pets full days on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I’m also available to stay overnight during the week to keep your furry friends company and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just being there for snuggles, I treat every pet like my own and make their happiness my priority. :) When providing in-home boarding, my goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s daily routine as closely as possible—from feeding and medication to walk times and bedtime rituals! I treat your home with the utmost respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it. I maintain open communication throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.

Gianna P.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Gianna P. as a caregiver. She has provided safe, loving, and reliable care for my large dog during long workdays and frequent travel. Gianna is attentive, responsible, and incredibly warm—qualities that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She consistently went above and beyond, ensuring my dog felt comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Her thoughtful communication and natural ability to connect make her a standout not just as a pet caregiver, but as a person. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
