“Mikayla did an outstanding job taking care of our three Boxer dogs! She was responsible, thoughtful, kind and dependable. We will absolutely use her again to take of our pets. We came home to a clean home and happy dogs after a week in Cancun. We had such peace of mind knowing Mikayla was taking great care of our dogs! Thank you, Mikayla!”
“Christian is the best. He made us feel so comfortable that beau was taken care of and sent lots of updates and pics! We will definitely book him again.”
About: Pets are like family. No two ways about it!! They give us their undivided attention. Loyalty and love. So why, shouldn’t we do the same? Being avid animal lovers, nothing would make us more happier to give your pet a comfortable stay - a home away from home with loads of love, fun and pampering so u can go ahead and enjoy a day of work or holiday being assured that your fur baby is being well looked after!! I’m currently not working! I’ll have time to fit your fur baby in my agenda. Also weekends depending on schedule most likely open looking forward to hearing from you. I have a beautiful chocolate Labrador named Isabella she is so excited to meet new friends to play in our dog park we also take walks in are beautiful lake view apartment. I’m usually available most of the time, I’m a stay at home mom and wife so I’m usually always with my fur baby and my cats. I have a screened in porch so they can enjoy some sunshine ☀️ I also have a gate just in case we have a runner.
About: I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. Mine, friends etc. I have watched dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies. Please no snakes. No issue with multiple animals. This is my full time job. If I have availability I can help you. I am open for last minute bookings because I don’t have another job. I only care for dogs in the clients home. If a situation arose where I needed to care for a dog in my home I have a fully fenced large back yard and a crate for them to feel comfortable in.
About: I've breed chihuahuas an I've also rescued newborn kittens an bottle fed them. Also any animal that I find or see I feed an try to care for them. Pet care is my life an I take care of my furbabies all day. I love to rescue or help any animal in need. ❤️ I treat them like my babies or furry children. I will feed an walk or entertain any animals purposes. Safe an loved at all times.
“Kenny took care of our three dogs and one cat for a week while we were on vacation and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. His attention to each pet's needs, the way he engaged with each of them, his patience with our 17 year old spicy chihuahua (with special needs) was more than I could have hoped for. Kenny was always communicative, sent lots of pictures, asked all the questions you hope your sitter will ask, and took amazing care of our pets and our home. Having him care for our crew made our vacation so much more enjoyable because I knew I didn't need to worry about how things were going at home. Honestly - if I could give Kenny more than 5 stars, I would - he's the best!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid—everything from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Chihuahuas and Great Danes. I’ve administered medicine, handled special feeding routines, and taken care of elderly animals with extra needs. I’ve also pet-sat for family friends, neighbors, and multiple households over the years. I currently live with cats I care for full-time, and I’m happy to help with additional tasks like watering plants, taking out litter, or feeding fish. I’m great at following specific instructions and keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently between jobs and going back to school in the fall, which means I have full availability all summer long. My schedule is extremely flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet-sitting needs—whether that’s regular check-ins, overnights, or last-minute help. I live locally in Mulberry and often help out at my family’s pharmacy, but otherwise my time is yours! I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I always follow the pet’s routine to keep things consistent—mealtimes, walks, medications, and even preferred toys or napping spots. I’m respectful of the client’s space and clear about communication, sending regular updates and checking in if anything seems off. I make sure pets feel safe by being patient, affectionate, and attentive to their needs—whether that’s quiet time for a nervous cat or extra play for an energetic pup. Trust is everything, and I take that seriously from day one.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
“Alison took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent photos and updates so we knew what was going on at home while we were away. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and my experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need extra patience and love. I’m comfortable with giving meds, sticking to special routines, and making every pet feel safe and happy. I treat your fur baby like family! Pet care is part of my daily life, I plan my schedule around giving pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I make sure every walk, feeding, and cuddle fits smoothly into my day so your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. Your fur baby is my priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow your pet’s routine exactly, from feeding to walks and meds. In your home, I respect your space like it’s my own, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure.

“Sia did a great job with my dog. Thank you!”
“Belle was a fantastic caretaker for our 12-year-old furry baby Scout. He can be a bit of a challenge since he is older and deaf. Belle sent us some pictures of him during our 6-night trip out-of-town. Scout looked happy, bright eyed and alert. Belle left the home neat, tidy and smelling clean and sanitized. I would recommend Belle without any hesitation. She will be first on my list to call when we need her to watch Scout in the future.”
“This was our first time having Luciano look after our two dogs and cat and he did a fantastic job. He took great care of our animals and our house, sent tons of pictures and updates and resolved several minor issues that came up with the house and our dogs while we were gone. We highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages for over 12 years. I love getting to spend time with animals and get to know their personality. I’ve worked with animals from a few months old into their senior years. I am a full- time teacher but have most evenings free. Weekends, evenings and breaks away from school will be amazing time for taking care of pets. I have cared for many peoples pets in their own home. I have done over nights or coming two to three times a day, depending on the customers comfort.
About: I have always had an admiration for animals no matter the type. But for some reason the love that you get in return from a dog is just indescribable. I know that it is always a weary feeling to leave your babies in the care of someone else. But it definitely helps to know that the person caring for your pet shares the same passion that you do. I never thought that I would own small dogs but I am actually glad that I do have two Chihuahuas now because I can take them almost anywhere! There has been an occasional weekend trip where I haven't been able to bring the pups along and it just didn't feel the same having to leave them behind. So if you have to leave them, leave them with someone who will care for them just as well as their own! I definitely prioritize my pets before any plans are made! No matter the time of day, week or year. They are my fur babies and anyone that knows me will agree! Depending on the environment or location, I would definitely say to use a leash first and foremost. I would also like to know if you know about the other animals in the area, just to provide as much safety as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals. From elderly at the shelter, huskies, labradors, pit bulls, doodles & puppies to cats, chameleons etc! I work remotely and have open availability for your pup. Lover of all breeds 🐕🦺 🐩 🦮 🐕 🐈 🦎 🐹 I am a corporate manager who works from home. I have 2 playful pups in the house (both females). One pup requires frequent potty breaks - at least every 30 minutes so outside time is no problem for me. I have a crate if/when needed. My pups sleep in the room with me uncrated and allowed on couch/bed. We keep our house cleaned and is puppy proof (crazy goldendoodle owner here). We do not have a fence but I’ve had huskies who tried to run away any chance they’ve had in the past, so am very careful with the door and leashes - even if the pup is trained off leash. Non smoke home, no kids or cats. Just 2 female pups who love other pups.
“I hired Rachelle to house sit with my Corgi for Labor Day weekend. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. I would love to use her again in the future!”
About: I’m the biggest pet lover I know! I frequently dog-sit and cat-sit for friends and neighbors. Throughout my life, I've had six dogs, two of whom now live with my parents. All of them have enjoyed wonderful lives! One of my special skills is out-energizing dogs during their walks. I love taking them around the lake and enjoying my neighborhood! I often visit my neighbors to check on their pets, change the kitty litter, or just spend time with them—especially when they go on vacation. I also feed and walk my friend's pets. See I create a detailed list of needs and wants for the pets, all discussed with the pet owner to ensure that I understand what is required for their care. I also like to get to know both the owner and the pet before providing care. This allows me to ask questions and gather the necessary information to properly care for the pet.
“Great sitter! I’ve worked with Nikayla a few times now and she’s been great! I do not worry about the safety or well being of my pups when she’s taking care of them! I will continue to book with Nikayla! She’s great!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for 22 years. I love and adore them and can effectively communicate a warm personality and environment for your baby until you return. I'm currently not working and will be around most of the time in case your baby has separation anxiety (Like mine do) providing a loving supportive environment. I have a fenced yard so your puppy/dog can go outside and play, twice a day is how often mine ho out. Will feed them on your schedule, whatever you tell me their regular schedule is,

Vanessa H.Star Sitter
“I was referred to Vanessa by a close friend of mine who told me she watched her 3 cats and small dog named bunny, while her family went on vacation. So I booked her and let’s just say she’s my forever dog caregiver my boy Toby French bulldog loves her every time he’s around her he’s a happy boy. She got him from being lazy on the couch to wanting to take small walks. So thanks again Vanessa your awesome!”
Jenifer G.
“I own two rabbits and Jenifer has helped to pet sit them on multiple occasions, we were very happy with her caregiving every time! One of the rabbits requires medication at certain times of day and Jenifer never had any issue with this and medicine was always administered properly. On every return the rabbits were always happy, healthy, and certainly cared for. Jenifer also assisted in house sitting on some of these occasions and kept everything neat and tidy while we were away. I would highly recommend Jenifer for any pet or house sitting services!”
Shelisha F.Star Sitter
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”

Jack S.
“Jack has cared for our dogs for years. We felt at ease with him taking care of our 3 fur babies. He spent time when he came over to exercise them and feed them. He did not just run in and out but spent time to make sure they have human contact and love. When we have arrived back from trips they are happy and healthy. He is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend! Emily S.”
