“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pickles! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and kind. While we were away, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Pickles was happy, well-cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. We came home to a calm and content pup, and our home was just as we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again—she’s a fantastic sitter and someone you can truly trust with your pet. Highly recommend!”

“Heaven stayed in our home with Cleo for 12 days. She’s great with communication and super friendly. Upon our arrival home, our house looked just as we had left it and Cleo laid in the bed Heaven slept in, clearly missing her! We highly recommend her!”

“FIG is recovering from being neutered and still has his hormones for a few weeks. He is still very active. Hopefully he will be a calmer little guy after the Christmas break! Thank you for being patient with him!😊”

“Mary was great! She accepted to look after our puppy with such short notice. I think Chai really enjoyed her company and we will definitely rebook!”

“We left on a 7 day cruise leaving our beloved babies home, including a 2 month old lab mix, our 10 year old boxer and 13 year old kitty. Not only did meetups before help to get to know them. Our boxer took to Steve immediately!! Robyn and Steve sent us several messages, watched our home to reassure us, and left our house cleaner than when we came and with happy fur babies. We definitely want to have them watch our babies again in the future”
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.
About: I have worked along side dog trainers and groomers in the past and have had a pet dog for the most of my life. I have also worked with rescued pets including cats and have adopted some of my own. I have years worth of experience being around animals and I currently have my own sweet dog I rescued a few years ago at home. I am retired, so my availability is flexible. I am not available on Tuesday and Thursday because I help out family at a retirement home. I care for my pet at home like she's my child. She is my family and I will treat my clients pets like family also.

About: I’ve taken care of my Australian Shepherd for about 7 years now and everytime I come home she freaks out and starts doing the wigglebutt. I love to keep an organized schedule but I am a very good last minute improviser. I follow instructions to the book, and I won’t let the dog go unattended too at any time. I am a senior in high school and I am on track to play football at the collegiate level in the fall so this is a way for me to make money and meet new people and especially new animals. Im usually busy during the week but the weekend are my times to play with animals and visit people I have a screened in pool, and all my neighbors are very nice and love to talk about the dogs. I do have a big backyard and a big front yard. The back is fenced in there are openings but they are no problem.
“Katie is always awesome! She is very communicative and always updates us! Bullet loves her! Bullet has a few accidents when he is out of routine but Katie takes great care of him and the house! Bullet loves her and gets excited when we tell him Katie is coming to visit with him!”

“Alison is very prompt and reliable. She updated us with pictures of our pet. She does a remarkable job! Will definitely use her many times more. Give her a shot. You won’t be disappointed.”

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation to your furbabies. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including personal care, drop-ins, in-home sitting, training my own dogs, and raising puppies and litters of cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I currently do not work so I am available any day or time throughout the week and weekend. I have no preference for time of day or time of night. While in a clients home I’ll give your fur baby all the attention in the world but also respect when an animal wants their own space. I’m quick to recognize body language on an animal. I’ll always be checking food and water. Play with them if any toys are available
“This girl is so sweet and friendly. Nice college kid who loves animals!! I will take her any day!! She was affordable and worth it. She sent me pics and I know for a fact snuggled my pitties. I needed her to housesit my dogs and she was so communicative throughout the weekend. She deserves 10 stars!!!”


About: I have had dogs all of my life, which eventually led to my first job at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for 2 1/2 years. After going to college, I started working at an animal shelter, where my passion for animal care grew. I moved from Georgia to Tennessee with 2 cats and a diploma and continued to gain more experience working at a veterinary clinic and an animal ER. I have experience with all breeds and all ages of pets and am attending vet school next year. I would love to care for your fur babies! I am available all days of the week for drop ins, walks, or overnight stays. Whatever works best for you and your pet works best for me! Caring for an animal in the comfort of their own home is my preferred approach. It is easier for the animal to stick to their routine rather than be in a new place without their family.
“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”

“Morgan recently held down our pet-centered "fort" for four days. Before our departure date, Morgan came by (arriving on time!) for a tour and run-through of our pets' behaviors, meal times, and idiosyncrasies. She took copious notes, asked a lot of questions and was clearly comfortable with the crew. We left feeling very comfortable that our kids were in great hands. Morgan did not disappoint! She was magnificent! She kept us informed of what our two cats and Rhodesian Ridgeback were up to, how meal times were going, etc. She frequently sent photos, which enhanced our sense that all were having no problem with a new person in the house. Without question, we will schedule Morgan for future pet sitting !! A 5-star caretaker!!!”

“Jeri did a wonderful job with our two puppers. We were at ease knowing she was taking great care of them. We especially appreciated all of the updates, pictures and videos. We highly recommend Jeri and look forward to working with her again!”

Sherri is a gem! She is wonderful and super nice. She gives Eli plenty of attention and takes him for walks. Eli is always happy to see her. Sherri had great communication, and sent photos. She took great care of the house. We would highly recommend her to care for your special pet.

Kylie was truly amazing with my babies! Took great care of both my doggies and they looked amazing all the pics she sent they were so happy! Thank you again for all you attention and I recommend her to all who truly need their doggies needs met while away! ♥️

Shelby is so professional, friendly, & communicative! Leaving our pets in such caring hands while we were gone allowed us to enjoy our mini vacay! Extras: the house was left clean, the animals were happy upon our return, medications were administered / recorded appropriately, and meeting Shelby at the meet n greet was so enjoyable!

Jaci is very sweet and you can tell how much she loves animals. She did a great job pet sitting our dog and cat for a weekend. Extremely reliable and I had no worries that she would do a good job! Before the scheduled pet sitting she came by for a long visit which was really nice. The animals got to meet her and become familiar with her. I will definitely use her again!

Kaetlynd did a wonderful job taking care of our furbabies while we were away. She kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind, and we returned to a home that was just as we left it—clean and cared for. We’d gladly use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
