“Sydney is wonderful with animals! Our dog Scooby took to her right away. She is very personable and you can tell she has a love for animals. We feel confident leaving our dog in her care.”
“Joslynne was great and very attentive to our dogs. My Boston doesn't deal well with the heat and Josylnne made sure to cut the walk short in order for her to not overheat. She also offered to clean up a plant that had fallen in the house. Very sweet! We will use again!”
About: I love spoiling dogs of all kinds. I enjoy walking and playing with them. I have had dogs for most of my life. I can do basic manners training. I am retired pharmacist and have flexibility in scheduling. I’m available drop ins and more. Boarding is not an option as I don’t have a fenced yard. I care for dogs and cats in your home. I will walk and play to their satisfaction. I will love on them and spoil them rotten. I am observant of their moods and personality and react accordingly. I need to know the location of basic cleaning supplies in the event they’re needed.I would also like an emergency contact and veterinarian phone, hopefully never needed.
“Wow! What a great experience. It was so nice to have a dog walker who also owns dogs and understands how to work with them and socialize them with other dogs. Bella had s great time! I would highly suggest this sitter. She sent several photos and updates during her time with Bella. Bella loved her and had a great time and I felt so safe knowing that my fur child was in great hands. Will use her again for sure!”
About: Hi there! I can't wait to meet your pets. I am an experienced dog owner and frequent pet sitter. With two of my own, my world revolves around dogs! I am a teacher in Hamilton County and work regularly from 8:30-3:30 during the week. During the weekends, I spend my time going on adventures or hanging in the yard with my own dogs. I will always have mornings, evenings, and holidays off to devote even more time to your pups! When pets stay in my home, I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable. Well mannered pets will have full access to the house unless otherwise instructed by pet parents. I have crates available for pets that require. Dogs will be let out at least 5 times per day (before and after breakfast, in the afternoon, before and after dinner, and before bed). Dogs will have several opportunities to play in the yard or in the house. Feeding times for my own pets are 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. I am more than happy to adjust for your pets needs! My goal is to make you dog feel at home and at ease:) *For dog boarding needs: I can not accept any dogs that display aggressive behavior towards my dogs. Dogs must be well socialized to dogs outside of their own home. *For dog walking needs: All dogs must be well behaved on leash and have a secure collar/ harness. I am not available to walk dogs using prong, or shock collars.

About: Hugh L. III (nickname Trey) To comfort any animal brings comfort to me. I will do anything to ensure health and happiness for your pets even if it is merely sitting with them and providing company and love. I have experience with administering medication, dog walks, continuing a training regimen set by owner or introducing new behavioral solutions, caring for high anxiety animals with patience and gentleness. Also I have experience in caring for geriatric and special needs animals: diaper changing, getting pets in and out of wheelchairs, and care and cleaning for incontinence. I just moved to the area and I am between jobs, I have 4 years experience as a plumber but maybe I’ll be a career pet sitter for now. So aside from other potential clients and my own animals I will make time for your pets. I will be offering all services except for boarding in my own home because present circumstances prevent me from doing so. If I sit for you in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect and abide by any and all guidelines you provide including cleaning up after any pet incident, bathing, playtime, etc.

“What a relief finding Madison!! We have 2 dogs, a Great Dane mix and a Lab mix, and finding a sitter for large dogs isn’t always easy. Our Dane also has allergies and needs meds daily, and we’ve had bad sitters in the past who forgot to give her the meds and we’d pick her up with a rash and have to visit the vet.....Madison was AWESOME!!! Our dogs loved her, she cared for them just like her own, and sent picture updates all the time so we could see the fun they were having on walks and in the house. We will definitely be using her again!! Highly recommend!! Thank you Madison!!!!”

Our dog, Lady, is always SO excited to see Trey. I would highly recommend using Trey for any of your pet care needs.”
