“Shanina takes such good care of Zelda while I am away- once again she came back to me happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much!! We will see you again soon! 🫶🏼”


“Cashmere and I love Tara. She is thoughtful. During the storm, I couldn’t make it to Cashmere. She kept her for me. She ensured that Cashmere was safe and as well as me. She always sends videos.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Myla and Jordan. They helped care for Rooster for a last minute pinch we were in and reassured us he was in good hands. They truly love animals and are well experienced in providing a safe and caring environment. They hosted our pup for a staycation at their house and we will use them again if Rooster joins us again in Memphis.”


“Wow. This was an absolutely great experience. I had a plan for my dog when I booked my trip. That plan fell through and Abby saved the day. Based on my flight schedules that had already been booked, I had to have two different people drop off and pick up my dog. She worked with the schedules, she worked with my neighbor and my mom, she was fast to respond, and they made sure my dog had plenty of play time. She sent pictures and updates throughout the trip which always made me feel really good while out of town. Easily my go-to dog sitter at any time going forward.”

“All I can say is “AWESOME”. Madeline took great care of my 2 high maintenance pups for 5 nights. This is my first experience using a sitter and she set the standard high.”

“Brett and Stephanie were awesome as usual!! Loved seeing the photos and video of Oakley having a great time!! They always stay in contact and let you know how your baby is doing. Definitely will continue to bring our puppy back to them!!”

“I am blown away by the level of attentiveness, communication and professionalism Titeara has shown in caring for Ciara. We booked last minute and Titeara was very accommodating and welcoming. We received 10+ pictures every other hour and regular detailed updates of Cici’s activities, treats, stools, sleep patterns everything. Cici was smiling in every pic, I’m scared she won’t want to come home! 100/10 would recommend, and 100/10 will rebook. Thanks Titeara!”

“Derek was wonderful. Before I even booked the stay he took the time to answer my questions and make sure I felt comfortable booking with him. Once booked Derek still answered was very flexible with timings as I booked part of my trip. During the stay Derek made sure I was updated with photos and messages. Didi loved her stay with Derek and I was very happy that she was well cared for. Thank you.”

“Great service and communication. Did everything we asked and then some. Mackenzie sends updates throughout the booking to let how your little one is doing. Definitely will consider her if we do another dog boarding”

About: I have worked with all sorts of animals since I was 12 years old ranging from little puppies to even donkeys. I’m currently in college playing basketball and dog sitting as a side job to help me as I’m a full-time student athlete. My neighbors and friends always come to me first to take care of any kind of animal and I’m a deep cleaner so if any mess happens I’m there too clean it up and, I am able to wash dogs as well if needed. I can also administer a kind of medication if needed. My part-time work lets me easily fit pet care into my day with lots of walks, play, and snuggles. I am currently not available for boarding, but any kind of drop-in visits or walking I’m available at any time of the day. My part-time availability allows for a very hands-on and involved approach to pet care, ensuring my furry companions are well-exercised, stimulated, loved, and healthy. I do not have a fencing backyard, but I am always capable of walking your dog and making sure that they can be put in their crate or whatever the task maybe.

About: I’m a dependable animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and good at following routines, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just giving pets extra attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable communication and updates so you can feel at ease. I’m comfortable around different personalities and energy levels, from playful dogs to more relaxed pets who just want company.Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care I’d want for my own. ❤️ I am full-time at home with no other responsibilities outside of caring for your pet, which means I’m available for consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and even short-notice bookings whenever needed. I have a non-fenced yard with lots of area to play and run. I have no animals of my own, so that is nothing to be concerned about. However, I don't own any crates or leashes to use with your pet.
“I can’t say enough WONDERFUL things about Katie! From the daily pictures and updates, to how she was always available to ensure we were kept in the loop of activities/outings. Will definitely keep this connection going!!!”

Titeara took wonderful care of our Phoebe. 💜 She was very intentional about getting to know her and introducing her to the new space. She asked great questions about what would make Phoebe feel safe and happy while we were away. It’s always hard to leave behind a pet especially with someone new, but we received so many pictures and updates that demonstrated attention to our girl and care for our preferences for her. Phoebe had a great time there, and it was really great to see pictures of her daily- clearly confident, loving, and playful.
