“Autumn is the sweetest with our cats!! They are very timid around strangers but they have quickly made friends with Autumn and it gives us great peace of mind while we’re away! Thank you, Autumn! (Love, Cookie + Smokie)”
“Lenora was really good with our cats. She took extra time to pet them and make them comfortable before she gave Frodo his insulin injection. She sent pictures every day. She was very attentive to their needs. We will definitely use her again.”
About: My wife and I share a love for animals and have always had pets. Your pet will enjoy plenty of affection and play time on our farm outside of town with plenty of fenced in area for fun and exercise! With a work from home schedule, there will be plenty of time to care for and play with your pet throughout the week and weekends. I have large fenced in areas and two friendly dogs in the home who love to play with other dogs. If your pup is timid or not as playful, there is plenty of space separate for some alone time.
About: I have been watching dogs/animals for most of my life. I have also had experience breeding dogs and raising puppies. I have been trusted by numerous people with their most beloved pets and homes. I have 3 dogs myself with crates for each one if needed . I can also keep them in separate rooms if needed but hopefully they play well togehter. Each pet has different needs and this will be discussed prior to boarding. I have experience with puppies to older dogs that need medicine. I have experience hosting pets and going to house sit.
“Elizabeth did a great job with our senior dog! As our dog has aged, she has had new medications and needed more care, and Elizabeth did great with her schedule while we were out of town.”
About: I have a special bond with animals that most do not understand. This gift can only be from God, rarely do I meet an animal that is not drawn to me. I can not go anywhere without meeting a new fury friend. I have run my business successfully now 6yrs and still going. I specialize in high energy and separation anxiety. I also socialize any dog that is said can't be social with other dogs. I am the pack leader and the dogs in my care see that. They are in a loving environment not in metal closed cages for hours upon hours. I can administer any medication and CPR. I love what I do, it's not work to me. I love all animals! Thanks I am a stay at home wife and grand mother I use my leisure time caring for others fur babies so the family can feel safe on there lon trips away. I travel to dog parks and local neighborhood to walk and exercise your fur babies. Until we purchase our own home with fenced in yard.

About: Hey I’m Hannah! My Experience - From the time I was born I was raised with animals.Throughout the years, I've owned 6 different dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 7 ducks, 12 chickens, 1 beta fish and 1 hamster. My Dog - I rescued a Yorkie from a puppy mill in July of 2018. I named her Franky and we've been inseperable since! My Approach - I prefer to use positive reinforcement and treats when training a dog to obey commands. I can give your pet all of the pets and cuddles but can also respect their space if they’re more independent. I am flexible with pet care, but would prefer to have at least three days notice to work around my schedule. I am able to do local services as well as services within the same state. If I must travel for overnight services, I would like at least a week notice. I do not currently offer daycare or sitting within my home, but I am available to come to you in the event that you book with me!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was a wildlife rehabilitator for Arkansas Game and Fish, so I learned early on how to nurse injured and sick animals back to health with patience and compassion. From bottle feeding baby animals to helping with their recovery, I developed a deep respect for all creatures. In 2020, I began working with my stepmom at a petting zoo, where I had the amazing opportunity to train under a veterinarian. There, I learned how to administer medication, care for injuries, and provide emergency treatments like fluids and splints. This hands on experience gave me confidence and knowledge to handle all kinds of situations. Most recently, I worked at a busy doggy daycare, caring for up to 40 dogs daily and providing overnight care for boarders. Managing so many furry friends taught me how to stay calm, organized, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. It also led me to truly be able to read body language and when to insert myself to prevent any unwanted interactions. I love creating a fun, safe environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. Overall, my experience combines a lifelong love of animals with professional training and real world skills; so I can promise that your pet will be in great hands! Right now, I am fully available for pet care! I'm unemployed, which means your pet will get my full attention and a super flexible schedule! Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or last minute needs, I've got the time and energy to give them all of the love, play, and care they deserve! When I am caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely; whether that means feeding schedules, walks, meds, cuddles, or quiet time. I'm super respectful of your space and I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you're away!

Every animal I see I fall in love with. There is no bad animal in my eyes. I will take very good care of your fur babies and give them lots of pets!
