“I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️”
“Jordan took great care of Lily, our 19 year old blind Siamese. Lily has to have medicine crushed up twice a day and put in her food so we needed someone that we could trust to do that. Jordan was that person! She stayed overnight at the house with Lily to make sure she was ok. She even feed the feral cats and birds that show up at our every day for a free meal. If you need an animal sitter, you need Jordan!”
About: I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry, scaly, or feathered friends. I’ve won state level medals in veterinary care and small mammal husbandry. I’m experienced in pet handling, medication administration, and specialized senior care. I also love working with puppies, providing positive training experiences that set them up for their futures. I’m currently working part time as a server. However, I’m available majority of the week to prioritize pet sitting. I begin college to be a nursing technician in August, so my availability will change around then. When I’m caring for your pet(s) in your home my top priority is to make sure they feel loved and comfy when you’re away. For dogs, that means plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, no matter the age. Puppies get extra attention with potty training and socialization, while seniors get gentle tailored care to their needs. Cats get lots of playtime, clean litter boxes, and of course, plenty of attention. I’m all about keeping their routines as normal as possible, so they feel secure and happy.
“Barbara is so great. My little boy is high maintenance, a little because of me 😂, but she accommodated and I really appreciate it. My boys comfort always comes first and I felt so secure and assured he was in the right hands. She kept me updated and communicated well. I'm moving and wish I could take her with me but lucky for y'all she's here. I'd give 10 stars of I could!”
“Tatiana is awesome! We would definitely hire her again if we go out of town for vacation. Took care of our babies and kept on a schedule so dogs had a consistent schedule as well. It’s nice to know our doggies were well taken care of!! Definitely would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Lizzy is awesome! She took very good care of our pups and our house. She was very responsible, communicative, and attentive to what our girls needed whether it was playing fetch or snuggling on the couch. We will definitely use her again.”
“Tisa was punctual and that gave us a great sense of relief since we have had some bad experiences with sitters not arriving in a timely matter. She cared for our pups and made sure their needs were met. Thankful for her help!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals for as long as I can remember. To me, Home isn’t actually home until you add a four-legged member. I have helped train a handful of puppies with basic obedience commands. My spaniel, Baxley, can sit, stay, shake, retrieve, spin and cuddle when he knows I need it. The training was for us to really trust each other, and he’s my best friend! In addition to working with Baxley and other dogs, I have dog sat for many other people/ families. I’m able to help out during my lunch hour as well as before and after work- my usual work hours are 8-4:30 with a flexible lunch break. I can ensure you that your fur babies will be loved, spoiled, and taken care of in my time doggy sitting! :) I work full time, but my schedule can be very flexible. I can take my lunch earlier or later than 12 PM due to working an 8-4:30. With that, I can walk pets before 8 and after 4:30 ! My spaniel is able to run openly, so I do not have a fenced in yard. I would prefer to come to the dog instead of bringing the fur baby to a new place in the country!
“She was so friendly and last minute help that saved me for that day and welcomed my dog and me with opening arms and care.thank you for your service and being patiently with my fog”
“Sandy is amazing! She will care for your pet as if we’re her own as she does our sweet Gemma. This is our second time using her services and we will continue to utilize her in the future. She stays in touch and sends you photos of you fur baby as you are away to give you comfort. Gemma loves staying over with her! Thank you so very much for your care! ♥️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of mine, my neighbors, and friends and family since I was little. I am able and willing to treat your pets as if they were mine and I am excited to meet them! I am recently graduated and currently have plenty of time to take care of your loved ones. With enough notice, I can make most scheduled visits work. I love any and all kinds of animals, and I would do everything in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable with me.
“Lorelai was such a wonderful sitter! Super accommodating as we had a last minute change in schedule and she was kind enough to rearrange things for us. The dogs were amazing when we came home, we could just tell they love her. The house was nice and tidy when we returned which is always a relief after being gone a few days and not wanting to come home to dog hair everywhere (our three dogs shed ALOT). She provided updates and pics while we were gone which I appreciate cause we always miss them when we’re gone and the kids love knowing the dogs are be well taken care of. Would strongly recommend her and plan to use her for future sitting. Thanks Lorelai!!”
About: I used to walk to pit bulls when I lived in nashville every weekend. They struggled with pulling on the leash with walk. So I dedicated time to train them on walking. I also watched and stayed with a couples dogs for a week. Feeding them, walking them, playing with them at the dog and much more. I grew up with dogs and one cat. My schedule is open as I work freelance at the moment. Open availability to watch your sweet babies. Mornings and afternoons are preferred but flexible. I live with roommates that have dogs. It’s gated and a 5 level deck. Their dogs are super friendly and love company when anyone comes over.

I work from home as a Pet Insurance Agent for a Pet Insurance Agency full time but I always find time to sneak in a few snuggles and kisses with my fur babies at home ❤️ I have 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a ferret of my own, so I understand that their needs are a priority. Multiple potty breaks, play sessions, and snuggles are a big part of the day. I can provide these with ease because who doesn’t want kisses? 🥰

About: I have had pets my whole life, and I love them like kids. I have two rescue dogs of my own, one is almost 14 and the other just turned 2, so I have skills in taking care of all ages. I have also had cats when I was younger, but don't have any now because my dogs don't like them. I am currently a homemaker and also homeschool my 13 year old daughter, so I have plenty of time on my hands to go hangout with fur babies. My daughter also loves animals, so if she is able to she will come with me to get some playtime in. I will come let out your baby, give them some loving, and make sure they have food and water. If there are other special requests we can discuss that too.

We also appreciated the little extras like keeping things tidy and bringing in packages, responsive communication and a cheerful disposition. We would certainly recommend her to anyone in need of help!”
