“Jessica did an awesome job with her first drop-in visit for my dog and cat! It’s clear she has expert-level knowledge of pet care, great communication, and is very professional. I loved all the photos she included from her visit. And my babies love her!”
“Elke was so wonderful, thoughtful and responsible! So warm and friendly from the start with our in home meeting. She sent detailed updates of our two 13 year old cats and pictures every single day while we were on vacation. It was evident they loved her attention and visits. They are very sensitive cats who don’t do well being left alone but when we came back after being gone a week they didn’t seem to have noticed we had left! She even brought in our mail and adjusted our lights to make it look like someone was home. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Kaylee was wonderful to work with! On time and quick to tell me if she wouldn’t be. Professional in her communication and took her time to get to know my dog. She walked my dog and then stayed with her the full 30 minutes. Your pet will love her!”

“As always Sarah takes the best care of my babies. I can tell by the pics that they are always excited to see her. I have such peace of mind knowing she’s with them.”

“Cat was fantastic! She was so good with my cats and it was a huge weight off my shoulders getting her dozen of pics everyday from her visit with them. My cats, while happy to see me home, will definitely be missing her daily visits. Highly recommend, will be rebooking with her in the future!”

In my home, I provide a fully pet-proofed, welcoming environment where cats and dogs get dedicated attention, structured playtime, and their own safe spaces to rest comfortably.
“Ariel was a wonderful caretaker and new friend to my little boy Yuki while I was gone to CA! It was so great to know that he was happy and being well cared for while I was away. The feedback and pictures she gave me twice a day was so fun to get and made me feel much less guilty leaving him. She went beyond my expectations and was SO SWEET with him! Will definitely be calling on Ariel again when I need a wonderful, responsible and caring person for Yuki!”

“Angelee was amazing and took time out of her day to care for my pups! Couldn’t be more thankful for her! She sent photos and kept me updated during the visit! Will be using again!”

“We appreciated the daily updates and it was obvious our boy was well cared for. He has a lot of separation anxiety, but he appeared completely happy and healthy without any signs of being stressed upon our return. Thank you again!”

“Dina took such great care of my cat! My cat needs stimulation, attention, and play, which Dina provided (during holiday season and for a good price). Dina is an animal lover and it showed in her care of my sweet girl! Thanks so much Dina.”

“Kara did such a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town—I would book again without question. Kara has an air of dependability about her, and took care of everything my cat needed while I was away. Not only this, but she was very communicative, easy to contact, and sent several updates that gave me peace of mind while I was gone. If you are looking for someone you can trust to take care of your pet, I would definitely go with Kara. Thank you again for helping me!”

“Addie was great! She took care of my boys, took great pictures of my house, and came in a snow storm! Thank you so much for taking great care of my cats!!”

“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”

“Emelyn is a gift to our dog Henry. She is kind and provides him companionship when we are away. Emelyn is also a highly professional, experienced sitter with great attention to detail. We highly recommend her services for your pet's needs.”


About: I have had animals in the house my entire life. I have always had at least four growing up to sometimes six ranging from cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I currently have a cat of my own here at college who i adore. I am a college student at ETSU. This summer I am spending it in Kentucky where I do work part-time. Schedule does vary but I can make sure your animal is fit in and taken care of properly. I have a cat who has her own litter box, fun little toys, food that she loves, and always my company. With other people’s animals I consider myself to be very caring and loving towards them.
“Kristen did a great job for us. We contacted her at the last moment, she came to our house without a pre-booking visit, and our dog adjusted very quickly to her without ever meeting her. Kristen was punctual and followed our instructions. Overall, a great experience with Kristen.”

Layla was very reliable in taking care of my puppy! She responded promptly and helped ease my stress with pictures and a sweet note during her drop in visit. My booking was rather last minute so I appreciate her responding quickly and helping me make sure Juni was taken care of.

Addie was amazing with my puppy! I work night shift an hour+ away and it’s always a struggle finding a sitter available to do drop in visits so late. I recently had a bad experience with a sitter falsifying care (I have a pet cam) and I was stressed I wasn’t going to be able to find anyone to check on her because of my schedule. Addie exceeded all of my expectations! She gave Maple so much attention, care, playtime, and affection! She was on time, she communicated well, and she was extremely accommodating to my little requests (like making sure my tv didn’t auto shut off so she could have background noise, or giving her a frozen pupsicle treat before leaving). She sent a ton of pictures of their time together and my girl looked so happy! She even won the heart of my cat, who is normally shy around new people. 10/10 experience! Thank you so much, Addie!

Emelyn has been absolutely wonderful. Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does, she always takes such great care of our dog. We come home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. It’s such a comfort knowing our dog is in such capable and caring hands—highly recommend!
