Darah went above and beyond during our visit today. She is amazing with my pup and they both love spending time together. She makes me feel safe to leave Odie and we are lucky to have found her!

Highly recommend! We had complete faith leaving our dogs with Kate. They took to her immediately and I never worried about them which never happens. I am so glad we found her and am so grateful to her for doing such an excellent job from initial correspondence to goodbye. She is so perfectly suited to this business and it’s obvious how much she loves dogs. If you are looking for a sitter in the area, you will not find anyone better.

About: Growing up on the farm, animals have always been part of our family (maybe the best part, LOL). Cats, dogs, tropical fish, and birds were named, fed, cared for, and loved. Today,I specialize caring for for cats, with 3 of our own rescues at home, and all breeds and sized dogs. And I’m particularly skilled in ear massage, belly rubbing, and poop scooping! Since recently retired, my schedule is flexible and I’m mobile. I’m available for vacation drop-in care including daily multiple visits, short or long term reliability I’m happy to serve the client’s pet(s) at their premises or home exclusively. I’m in excellent mental & physical condition to support your pets daily needs with friendly and loving attention.

About: I grew up with dogs but now I take care of other people’s dogs! Been dog sitting since 2020 and I have many regular families that love me! I work two part time flexible schedule jobs so I have lots of free time where I check on animals or go for a quick walk/feed! I personally don’t take animals to my own space unless needed, but I will stay the night if you want and always follow detailed instructions!

About: I truly love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Every pup I meet gets treated with the same compassion and care I’d give my own. At the same time, I know dogs thrive with gentle structure — so I balance cuddles and play with consistency that helps them feel safe and confident. I also believe happy, well-behaved dogs start with their natural needs being met. By giving them the right mix of exercise, enrichment, and attention to their instincts, I help make sure they feel fulfilled, calm, and loved while you’re away. With me, your dog isn’t just looked after — they’re understood. My work schedule is flexible and I have time between dropping off and picking up kids from school to fill in the gaps those are usually the hardest times for professionals that work traditional work schedule. I do have a fenced-in backyard, but I believe dogs deserve more than just space to run — they thrive on walks, enrichment, and structured training. That’s why I focus on giving them real stimulation and enjoyable experiences that go beyond the basics. When life gets busy, dogs often get bored and find their own ways to create “excitement” — not always the kind owners appreciate. By providing structured adventures, I channel that energy into positive outlets, helping your dog come home happy, tired, and fulfilled.

About: I am a real estate photographer looking to fill in the gaps in my day, and to get me out of the house on days where I’m not too busy. In my free time I like bird watch as well as visit with and walk the dogs at the Franklin county dog shelter! And growing up my family fostered dogs, which allowed me to have plenty of experience with puppy’s to senior dogs of all different breeds and sizes! More recently I have been raising a blue heeler with my dad and I have been reminded of how much better life is with a dog! I’d love to help relieve some stress for those of you who might need a little extra help. I am a real estate photographer, so I usually have lots of downtime in between shoots. I’m also always available in the afternoons past 5 and most weekends! I am able to take long walks with your babies near your home, and I can even transport to dog parks or other areas if needed!

About: I worked on a rescue for 6 years and also at a dog daycare/grooming center. So I am very comfortable around any breed and being around multiple dogs at once. Every breed of dogs is welcome in my heart. I currently work first shift Monday-Thursday. I do have a 5 year old son so prefer dogs that are good with kids. I am free during the evening and weekends and can do overnights. I like to take my dog on walks or hikes. There’s always constant cuddles and affection from me or my son. I allow dogs on my furniture. I’ve also taken care of dogs in a strict diet that need insulin and medication at a certain time.

About: I have a two bully breed babies, Paris and Ozzy (Oswald). From one dog momma to another yes ofc your dog can sleep on my furniture! I am a final year ADN-RN student and a PRN Student Nurse outside of class. However, do not let those busy titles fool you I’m very very revolved around my babies and I can be with yours too! I have spent my whole childhood following into adulthood working with a variety of pups with different behaviors/personalities/ and specific needs so I’m convinced I can handle just about anything your pup has to throw at me. I’m definitely not the gal who is ashamed of going out with an extra layer of dog hair to complete my look and I’m certainly not one to pass up a slobbery kiss. We have PLENTY of toys/treats to share and lots of on the go things for walks and playtime at the dog park (don’t worry I have seatbelts for the pups, safety first!) pls reach out to me for any of your fur baby care you might need I’m very flexible as I’m just doing this truthfully for the pleasure of meeting your sweet babies, giving my gal some friends to play with, and some extra money bc lord knows living isn’t cheap as a college student, HA! Don’t feel like holding back on any questions or concerns. I promise I’m very sweet and patient as I have worked with many pups who give me a run for my money but most of the time those are the ones I love having most! I’m very flexible! I have work and school throughout the week ofc, but my schedule is very capable of being attentive to your pet(s) as well as my own. If your pup has any care/daily needs that could potentially run into a concern of yours that you believe I may not have time for don’t be afraid to discuss with me I’m more than willing to work with accommodating to your needs!! My sweet babies Ozzy and Paris are both big fan of outdoor playtime and car rides and they love inviting new friends along for adventures! I am a firm believer in dogs ARE allowed on furniture why would it be fair for them to not also be comfy on the couch or bed ?! I am pretty laid back in my home when it comes to the “pet rules” for the most part. I will treat your pup(s) like my own and ofc send you pictures and videos every time they do something I know I wouldn’t wanna miss out on seeing with my own!

I don’t leave reviews but Kayla went way above and beyond for me dealing with my dog getting sick and cleaning it and handling my injured dogs bandages coming off and reapplying them for me! I couldn’t give more praise to her and wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you want the best care for you’re pet!

About: I grew up with a dog and I also worked at a vet clinic for 7 years. I went to tech school and absolutely love animals. You never have to worry if your furry friend is getting the play time or love they need! I have pet sit many of our family friends pets and feel comfortable around any size animal and breed. I can medicate animals if needed and I promise to always treat your pet as if they were my own. I will help keep them stress free and not worrying about where their owner is. I make things like nothing has changed. I love meeting new pets of all kinds. I'm more than happy to come to your home and make your pets feel safe and keep them as comfortable as possible while your away I work from home which gives me more flexibility to pop in and spend time with your pet so they don't feel lonely. It also gives me the flexibility to work anywhere, so I can take my work with me and hang out during the day so they aren't home alone. My routine is keeping their routine as normal for them as possible. I want them to be able to adjust to me being there with them but be like nothing has changed when the owners come back home.

About: Hi! My name is Lizzy. I am 26 years old and have been a dog owner for a little over eleven years. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats.

Shoot me a text or give me a call if you would like to know more or book me. Looking forward to getting to know you and your pet(s)! : I’m a stay at home mom, so my two boys would be coming along for the ride when caring for your pet(s). I’m flexible for the most part. I can walk your pet(s), play with them in a fenced in area or in the house. I’m willing to do anything to give your pet(s) attention while you’re away.

Camryn was so great with our cat! She reliably kept us updated, and I think our kitty was disappointed when we came back instead of Camryn.

Madison did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog Bodhi and my guinea pigs while I was out of town. She updated me on everything while she was there and also noticed that Bodhii had a rash so she gave him a bath. She went above and beyond to care for my pets.
