“Sarah is great and super responsive. Sarah took great care of our anxious fur babies with confidence and love. Don’t hesitate in booking Sarah!”
“Ciara was great and easy to work with. She was able to accomodate me on short notice and sent picks of my pup. I would love to use her again.”

“Allison is top notch! I am not easily trusting with my girls and she blew it out of the park. She has great communication during her visit(s) and sends plenty of photos, alongside notes.”

“Taylor took WONDERFUL care of my sweet dog! She was quick to respond, took great pictures, and left comments on what they did during the visit.

Will definitely rebook!”
“Erin did a great job, even picking up last minute with our 4 fur babies during Derby 🐎 week. Both dogs and cats were well taken care of, she even brought packages in for us. We received multiple daily photos along with the written updates and felt every thing was under control. Highly recommend, and hope to be able to use Erin again when the need arises.”

About: Long-time dog mom & lover of animals. I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs with "special needs" behaviorally (reactive, wary of strangers, etc). My jobs are pretty flexible, and I work from home most of the time - though sometimes my job requires site visits and I need to leave for a period of time (generally not more than a couple hours). I am an early bed/early riser, so please keep that in mind if you're messaging me at night; there's a good chance I won't see it until the morning :) My yard is fully fenced (~3/4 are 6' privacy fencing; the other 1/4 is 4' aluminum). I typically work from home and am able to provide frequent potty breaks.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, 2 at a time, from puppy to Papaw! My job is to ensure our companions live the happiest, healthiest, most fulfilling life! I cared for my lab beaux through five years of limited to zero mobility to the age of 15. I carried that sweet 100lb boy through every potty run, every room change and every bedtime. As long as my dogs are healthy and happy, I’m happy. I have clicker training experience as well as crate training. I am a homemaker and real estate agent, my schedule is extremely flexible and I’m a homebody so your pup and I will be spending plenty of time together! I care for pets like they are my own and my track record for my own, I am proud of. I never want to look back at my interaction with my dogs and think, “I wish I would’ve done better that day” or “I wish I would’ve made him happier.” Their health & happiness is paramount. They deserve nothing less. You have to fit a human lifetime of love into your pups life. Responsibly spoil them! I have a fully fenced backyard with turf. It couldn’t be more pup friendly!
“She was friendly and attentive to all of the details I had about my dog. She gave me good updates and pictures and took my dog for nice walks. Definitely recommend!”
About: I know dogs and am familiar with training and obedience techniques. I've cared for ill dogs and can medicate and care for those with special needs. I'm very active and can help your pet get as much exercise as needed. I'm retired and looking to fill my time caring for the things I love most...dogs and cats! I am flexible and can come to your place or your pet is welcome at mine! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 9 year old dog and cat friendly Chiweenie named Rosie who is lonely for a fur friend as she recently lost her best friend. Our dog has the run of our home as will yours should that be your wish. I'm also happy to come to your home and house sit with your pet. I can administer meds, take to vet, etc.

17. Thomas G.
“Thomas has a gift of reading dogs and meeting them where they’re at: high energy, low energy, totally bonkers, super chill, and everything in between. He is a multi faceted person with many gifts and his pets see it too! I once saw someone try to eat his homemade dog food because it looked and smelled so delicious, they didn’t know it wasn’t for dinner!!! The level of care and attention Thomas provides for pets is what all of us pet owners strive for. As a bonus, he’s easy for the owners to get along with as well! New friend for everyone! I highly recommend adding Thomas to your pet care toolbox!”

19. Jennifer A.
“There are "dog people" and there are 'DOG PEOPLE"... Jenny is one of the rare "DOG PEOPLE" that not only LOVES dogs but KNOWS dogs. She is equally as comfortable and capable with small, timid dogs as with big, mouthy ones. And they all LOVE her. I have had the pleasure of witnessing her gift with animals for over 10 years. Jenny has personally helped care for my dogs in good times and bad; she is reliable, calm and comforting- even in times of adversity. Additionally, she has been a foster to several rescue dogs, opening her home and heart to those that needed temporary placement. Jenny is a mature and responsible professional that has a keen knowledge of animal behavior, and a remarkably intuitive nature. These exceptional qualities make her the ideal person to care for any and all of the world's most precious creatures.”
20. Donovan F.
“Donovan is very professional and dependable. He treated my dog with excellent care. I highly recommend Donovan.”
