“Brooke is awesome and truly goes above and beyond. We came home to our babies feeling happy and relaxed instead of anxious like they can be when we’ve been gone. Book her today!”

About: Caring for others has been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember—both people and animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, dog-sat for family and friends, rescued lost pets and helped reunite them with their owners, and have always been drawn to animals who need a little extra care and patience. I currently have a nine-year-old Beagle/Toy Poodle mix named Millie and a cat named Josie, who is about six years old. I rescued Josie as a stray when she was sick and in need of care. I took her in, helped her get healthy, patiently earned her trust, and ultimately decided to make her part of my family. Her journey has given me firsthand experience with cats who may be fearful, shy, anxious, temperamental, or slow to trust, and taught me how important patience, understanding, and respecting an animal’s boundaries can be. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to animal body language and behavior and can recognize the signs that a dog or cat is comfortable, fearful, overstimulated, anxious, playful, or welcoming. I believe understanding those signals is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal because every pet communicates differently. My caregiving experience also extends to people. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and children, helped my mother with babysitting while growing up, and have provided care and companionship to elderly individuals. My professional caregiving background also includes working as an obstetric technician, caring for newborns, young children, and mothers following delivery, as well as caring for elderly patients, including those who needed comfort, companionship, and attentive support. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, dependable, gentle, and attentive to the needs of those in my care. Whether I’m caring for a person or an animal, I understand that they may not always be able to tell me exactly what they need. I’ve learned to pay attention, recognize changes in behavior, and respond with compassion. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult. I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. I also believe in keeping owners informed and communicating if I notice anything unusual about their pet. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply “watching an animal.” I see it as caring for a member of someone’s family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is flexible because I do contract work, allowing me to focus on pet visits and walks. I’m happy to work with clients’ schedules and do my best to accommodate their routines, work hours, and pets’ individual needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and making every pet feel comfortable in my care. I have experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments, including shy, anxious, fearful, energetic, and more independent animals. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can recognize when a pet is comfortable, overwhelmed, nervous, or needs space. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I will respect their routines, boundaries, environment, and individual needs. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was younger. I have had cats, dogs and tarantulas, so I am used to a wide range of animals. I live alone and work a typical 9-5 job as an attorney in town, and I do not have any pets of my own. I always pet-sit for my friends' cats and dogs, so I would love to do it with Rover. I love to play games with the animals to keep them stimulated. I also enjoy walking animals and simply being with them. I am very good with both dogs and cats.

“We couldn’t have been happier with Elizabeth! She was dependable, kind, and patient with our cat. It gave us great comfort as we traveled and we loved getting her pictures. She was very adept at giving our cat medication which is not easy! We would not hesitate to recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”

Susie T.

“Ali is the best!!! We will absolutely have her watch our kitties again! We have a very shy and very anxious guy and she won him over, it was so great knowing he trusted her. She also kept our 7 week old kitten busy and entertained! She's so kind, reliable, and she gave such great updates and pictures. So thankful to have found her 💓”

Kelsey H.

“Ashley was super sweet! My dog can be hyper and she was able to handle her with no problems! And she was able to accommodate to my dogs schedule. Your dog will be well taken care of in her hands!”

Magalie C.

“Amy was great! There were difficulties on our building's end with access, but she was so communicative and worked to navigate the issues. Our little man appreciated her visits, and we would be happy to have her watch him again.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life so I love dogs (and even cats.) I professionally started walking dogs in college when I had extra time and developed a love for hanging out with animals and helping others when they can’t. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have open availability to spend time with your furry friends! I would love to help someone out where I can. I will always love on your animals the way they like to be loved, whether that be just sitting with them or taking them on a long walk in the neighborhood.

“Allie is AMAZING!! I’m a new puppy mom and have no idea what I’m doing lol Allie’s communication skills are top tier and she was able to ease my worries”

About: Experienced veterinary technician of 7 years now promoted to stay at home mom. Allowing me the capability to provide to those pets who need care throughout the day and evenings. I offer in home boarding / day care. Pets must be cat friendly and non aggressive towards children. I have a 2 year old daughter who adores animals and has been raised to be respectful of animal boundaries and loving towards all. I am trained on administration of medications / insulin. And can provide specialized care for those with medical conditions. I accept all ages (puppies-seniors) of all breeds. Drop in visits / walks are available as well! I am a stay at home mom who can provide all day care for your baby while you are away. Frequent potty breaks, playtime and snuggle time! We have a fenced in back yard, and will crate the dog if requested by the owner. Some pets really enjoy the security that the crate provides and I am respectful of all pet parents choices.

About: I'll love your dog as much as my own! We can all be friends together, maybe have a treat and play with our favorite toys! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to cater to your loved further baby. I've loved animals since birth pretty much. All shapes, breeds, and sizes are welcome! I have a big warm house with a friendly small pup. I have an open yard, but I also have a small fenced in porch. I love to share treats and play fetch!

About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.

About: I grew up in the country, where I had more dogs than neighbourhood friends. I have rescued countless numbers of animals in my day. My first job was animal control for shelby county when I was sixteen. Now I'm everybody's favorite dog Uncle. I've had numerous friends and family request I watch over their pets because they know they'll be in good hands. Just last year I lost my best friend, a 15 year old black lab named Todd Philip. Turns out he rescued me, now it's time to give back! I'm a motorcycle mechanic so I work Monday-Friday 9am-3pm but this is "very" flexible. I can be available early mornings or evenings. 6am-8am or 4pm-11pm Plenty of room for laying around in my apartment, second story balcony for hanging outside. There is a big dog park less than 50 feet away from my door. Also there are 3 more dog parks that are at adjacent complexes that are easy to walk too. Less than five minutes walk to Percy Priest lake one of my favorite places to explore.

About: I enjoy all animals. I aspire to open an animal rescue in the future. I have one amazing dog that I raised from a puppy. I take him on runs for exercise and also slow walks where he can take in all the smells. I love getting to meet new dogs and give them lots of love and massages. I try to connect with animals and make them feel more confident and comfortable so their true characters are able to come out. I have some extra time where I can spend taking care of your loved one. I truly enjoy being active and can exercise your dog better than over 90% of dog walkers (according to my mileage). I am very clean and respectful of other people’s homes. My parents were never strict, but one big thing they taught me was how to respect other people and their home/sanctuary.

“Mary was AMAZING! She was so attentive and loved on my dog and I felt so comfortable and at ease knowing she was taking care of him. I highly recommend her!”
