Pet Sitting in Hermitage

“Tori is such a delight. She eased our mind about our one problem child pup that likes to chew couches while we’re gone. She was fantastic and very timely on showing up as well as keeping us updated on what was going on. She sent lots of pics of all the kids and we felt very comfortable with her being in our home while we were gone. We will definitely use her again next month when we go out of state for a few days. Highly recommend.”

“Took great care of our cats as usual! She went out of her way to make an extra trip to check on the cat that is an expert hider to make sure she wasn’t stuck somewhere :)”

“Kaitlyn was awesome! Molly needed extra care since she was in heat. I really appreciated everything Kaitlyn did to help. Molly loves kids so Kaitlyn’s kids made the visits extra special for Molly. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

“Meghan is a sweetheart. She’s very compassionate with her job. You can tell she loves animals. I had an emergency for two days. Meghan didn’t hesitate. She filled in for me!! She will be back on June 3rd through June 9th. No doubt, she will do an amazing job!! Additional comment and tip will be provided after June 9th. Thank you for Meghan!!”

“Abby was great! She was very communicative and responsible, and the pups loved her. It was nice to know my boys were in good hands while we were away - I will definitely check with her first when I need drop in visits again!”

About: I have two dogs and a cat of my own which I've had for some time now. My youngest dog was taken in around 9 months and my oldest was a stray with lots of anxiety. I also have volunteered at Strayhaven for about a year, walking dogs and socializing cats. I'm capable of walking, playing, feeding, and helping with potty training or learning tricks. I'm a full time student with advanced classes so I spend a lot of time putting in the work for school. Aside from my sports season, I'm free most week days for walking and other care. I can only do overnights when I'm out of school. I can make meals, take them on walks, and play with them. I would love to help younger dogs socialize or learn basic tricks. I'm comfortable with working with anxious pets too.

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

About: I have taken five different dog classes and have volunteered in the past to assist at local animal shelters. I would bathe, brush, walk, and play with a variety of dogs. Patient and flexible and always do what is best for the animal. My oldest dog is a certified Therapy dog and we visit mostly nursing homes to help brighten someone’s day. I have had a dog most of my life which I was responsible for walking, feeding, and caring for. I love animals and I will follow any rules provided from the owner. I am a school teacher and very trustworthy. I treat my dog like children and may overact sometimes and rush to the vet when it’s not necessary, but just want to keep my baby girls healthy and safe.

“Sarah was so patient with our overly nervous dog! We felt confident knowing she would be in good hands.”

About: I aim to be your dog's new favorite person (after you, of course). I am a certified professional dog trainer with a specialization in timid and fearful dogs. I have worked with hundreds of owners over the last 5 years, helping them solve behavior issues from barking to pulling and stealing food off the table. Before that, I was a reptile hobbyist who bred Tokay Geckos, believe it or not (they're called the pitbulls of the gecko world because they bite and don't let go)! So hard-to-love animals are my bread and butter. As a behavior specialist and a certified trainer, I know how to act around any dog. Yes, even the really ornery ones. I am patient, I never yell, and if you have a doggie cam, you might catch some of the entertaining antics I pull to keep your dog safe and happy. I use the LIMA model - Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive. What this means is, I will never force your animal to do something they don't want to do. My goal is to build trust so that your animal will be able to adapt easily without you there and will learn to trust other humans as well. Because I am a behavior specialist, I know what *NOT* to do, so that you don't come back to a dog that was worse off than when you left! Oh, and I'm also an artist, so a sketch or portrait of your dog is not off the table! I love drawing pictures for my clients. When I'm not painting or cleaning, I'm either training my dog, or coaching people virtually to train theirs. I am currently working Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays as a virtual dog trainer, but Sun/Mon/Tue/Thur are up for grabs! My dog Jigen is a very well-behaved pup. We don't have a fenced in yard so I take her out on a leash, or use a tie-out with supervision. She eats her meals out of puzzle toys and she gets brushed every evening. I work on her nails twice a week to make sure she tolerates me clipping them. She is free to roam inside all day and night, but I do put her in the crate when we leave the house (just in case).

“Amanda was great. She was very attentive of our cats while we were on our trip and did an amazing job communicating.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but finally in first grade I got one of my own. He was around 3 when we got him and now is an old man who needs help sometimes even if he doesn’t want it. I also have another pup who is now 3. I house broke him and taught him a few tricks. I have had to give medicine from time to time. I watch my neighbors dog who needs medicine. I’m currently in high school. However on Tuesday/Thursday I don’t go to school til 10:20 so I would be back with your animals after 2:44. The other days I’m gone from 8-2:44. I am involved in after school activities but I would be able to let them out before going to those. I will follow what you tell me. I mostly like staying with the animals so they aren’t alone most of the time. I might spoil them a little too much while you are away though!

“Katherine is wonderful. She bonded quickly with my yorkie Rex. You can tell she loves animals, she’s so nice and easy going. Followed instructions and took such care of my sweet little boy.”

“Lara went above her job when the garage door did not open. She actually went to Lowe’s to replace the battery in the remote. Thanks Lara for saving my vacation and easing my mind that Marvel would be taken care of while I was away!”

About: I’ve been dog/pet sitting for nearly 20 years. I’ve handled dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds and have cared for a number of other animals including cats, ferrets, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even goats! While they are God’s creation, I am not a fan of snakes… I have a flexible, work-from-my-phone career so I can manage my schedule accordingly. I do quite a bit of travel and can be available in different cities when I’m traveling! I do not care for pets in my home at this time. In my clients’ homes, I follow their protocol to ensure the animal is comfortable while their person is not home.

About: I have been a dog walker on other dog walking sites (i.e. WAG) for a year, so I have experience with utilizing these services and taking care of your pets! I also have been dog sitting for years, for family and friends. I work full-time at home, so I am always available to take care of your pups! I don’t work on Fridays, so usually Friday through Sunday are best for dedicated dog walks! My wife, puppy, and I live in a duplex that has a very large private yard. Our puppy was born 4/5/2023, and is very friendly and playful.

“Annalese was prompt and professional. Gave Beanie a good walk & attention!”
