“Jill took amazing care of our elderly dogs, a beardie and sugar glider while we were out of town. Her communication is impeccable and she took lots of photos. She seems to genuinely enjoy all of the animals. We will definitely be booking with Jill again!!”
“First time hiring Kelly to look after 3 cats and we knew they would be in good hands after the meet and greet. She provided pictures and detailed updates on how they were behaving (2 cats were recovering from respiratory issues). And our cats took to her quite readily. Great care and peace of mind while on vacation. Highly recommended.”
“Janel was amazing. Before she watched my dogs she came over for a meet and greet and my dogs loved her instantly. She went above and beyond what I asked of her and spent lots of time with my pups. She was fantastic at communicating and sent lots of pictures. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Ali is amazing. I’m so glad I found her. She instantly bonded with my kitty and sent great photos and summaries for every visit. I felt very comfortable and secure knowing that Innes was in good hands while I was away!”

“Brandi is the best! She took notes on what needed to be done during the drop in and made sure to do them all (and some!). She was great about taking some photo updates and giving Copernicus plenty of attention before leaving. So happy we found her to watch our furbaby while we were gone!”

“Joy did a fantastic job taking care of our cats. She kept us updated about anything and everything. All of our cats enjoyed having g her around and would certainly have her watch them again.”

“Savannah was amazing with my dog! She communicates well, she sent me photos, sent me updates of how my dog was doing, and very trustworthy not only with my dog, but being in my house as well. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog like family Savannah is your girl!! Will book again soon with her!!”

About: My family has had spaniels and muts for my entire life. I adopted my own dog at 21 years old, and he is about to turn 9 years old in February. My fiancé and I also got a second dog last year and she is 2. We just moved here from Arkansas in 2024 and we have loved going to Fair Ridge Park where there is a big off leash portion of the park. While I check in or walk your dog, they will have my full attention and care. I have house, dog, and cat sat many times and each client was very pleased with how much attention I was able to give. I’m up for trips to the dog park, sending photo updates, and giving lots of pets to your furry friend. I will love your pet as if they are my own! I am mostly free mornings and weekends! I am a graduate student and have most of my class and work on Monday, thursday, and Fridays. I am free most weekends any time. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience administering medications, changing doggy diapers, and ensuring frequent potty breaks. I make sure to understand what the dog’s usual routine is and try to stick to it so they feel comfortable and safe.
“Nicole was available on a days notice and despite being anxious about the drop ins because she and my dog had never met, she kept me informed during drop ins which helped ease my anxiety. Definitely plan to use her in the future.”

“Jessica is great and so sweet! She came at the time requested, did all the things we asked and took time to socialize with our cat (who isn't always the most social). We trust her with our pets and would definitely ask her to sit for us again!!”

“Christina was wonderful with our pup, Denali. She is friendly, relatable, communicative and efficient. Christina was responsive and took the time to get to know our dog in person prior to booking. It is obvious she is a true animal lover. We are super appreciative of her being so flexible last minute and we feel more than comfortable having her take care of Denali again!?”
“Paige has looked after our cat for all our trips. Our recent trip was fairly long and Paige kept us updated on our cat everyday. Lots of pictures and good communication. Our cat also loves hanging out with her!”

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.
About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.
About: I am a recent empty nester. My son is in now a sophomore in college and lives near Nashville, TN. My niece and her doggie lived with me for approx. 10 months while saving up for a place of their own and they recently left so it is just me now. I own a condo with lots of common ground behind me. I dog sit often for family and friends (including the one shown in the pic). I work from home so I am able to take them out as much as needed and love to take them on walks so we both benefit from the exercise. I will follow your advice and requests related to schedule, feedings, or whatever rules you wish to enforce.
“Kyleen is fantastic and goes out of her way to treat our doggies the best. Would 100% recommend her anytime. We have booked her multiple times and she is always prompt and communicates with us about any updates. Trustworthy to have in your home.”

“Emily has taken care of our dog for the past few months, sometimes several nights a week while I’ve been at work. I couldn’t say better things about her and her professionalism. She is the best caregiver you could ask for when it comes to your furry friends. I HIGHLY recommend her and her services.”

Brandi is the best! She took notes on what needed to be done during the drop in and made sure to do them all (and some!). She was great about taking some photo updates and giving Copernicus plenty of attention before leaving. So happy we found her to watch our furbaby while we were gone!
