“Ashley went above and beyond for us and our dogs! She came over the day before watching them to meet them and know their routines. She took them out on nice, long walks and was dedicated in her care! She took pictures and videos of her outings with them and communicated regularly with us. She was so sweet with them!”

“Sarah was amazing with our dogs, Apollo and Kaiser! She sent regular updates with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The dogs enjoyed regular outdoor playtime, and their rooms were left neat and clean. We’re very happy with the whole experience and will definitely book with her again next time!”

“Kristen did the most incredible job taking care of our two large dogs! She sent photos, kept us updated, and made us feel so at ease during our trip. The house is spotless and the dogs are very happy. Thank you Kristen!”

“Alexa was great with our puppy! She respected our home, sent us pics, stayed the whole amount of time, and gave us updates. You could see in our puppies face she was having fun with her! Thanks Alexa!”

“I highly recommend Hannah! She is responsible, kind, and great with animals. I felt so lucky that I didn’t have to worry about a thing while I was in the hospital delivering my baby. She took such great care of our house too. We feel so blessed that she was available. Thank you Hannah. ❤️”

“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”


About: I'm a dog owner myself, and I used to volunteer at a dog shelter where I went to college. I got to take care cats dogs and plenty of other types of animals like chinchillas and rabbits and cats. I've also taken care friends pets when they are out of town. I'm currently back in school online and pretty much just taking care of the house and my dog at this point so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. I have my own dog who is highly energetic so I am used to taking them on long walks or playing with them till they get tired. So whatever their energy levels are I'm certain they will be well taken care of.
About: Medically retired Veteran and stay at home dad with lots of time on my hands to care for fur kids and keep a watchful eye on them. I have dog sat for friends' pets and personal pets that I've owned for over 30 years. I don't currently have another job. So, aside from medical appointments, I don't have any issues with daily or weekly routines. I should be able to conform to any and all needs. I always care for every pet as though that pet were my own. I know how sensitive each pet can be, so I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with someone else's pet.
“Hannah was wonderful! She stayed at our house with our pups while we visited family. The house was left in excellent condition and our dogs were very happy to spend time with her! Thanks again, Hannah!!”

“Ysalys is wonderful! She sent regular updates and photos throughout the weekend. Our pets warmed up to her quickly and loved spending the weekend with her. She’s 10/10 and our pets can’t wait for her next visit!”

“Elle is a wonderful dog sitter. I felt that my fur babies were in good hands while we were out of town. I will definitely request her services in the future and highly recommend her to others.”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve basically been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, and a mix of everything else that comes with that! I’m really comfortable with all temperaments, breeds, and ages, whether it’s a high-energy dog that needs structure or a senior pet that needs a slower, more patient approach. I’ve trained dogs before and I understand how they communicate through behavior and body language, which helps me read situations quickly and keep things calm and safe. I’m the type of person who doesn’t get overwhelmed easily with animals, and feel really comfortable with them! I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, and application of knowledge of the breed. I work 8:30–5 in Cedar Bluff, so I’m usually available early mornings, evenings, and fully open on weekends. I’m pretty structured with my time, so when I commit to a pet, I will plan around them and make sure they’re not rushed or squeezed in. I’m used to balancing a busy schedule, and I always make pet care something I’m fully present for when I’m there! I’m big on safety and just being aware of what’s going on with the animal at all times. I follow instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to behavior changes, appetite, energy, and stress signals. I’m confident handling leashes, reactivity, and different personalities because I’ve been around animals long enough to stay calm in those situations. I also communicate clearly with updates and pictures so you’re never guessing how your pet is doing- you’ll know they’re safe, good, and taken care of.

Ashley stayed with my pups for 6 hours while we wet out of town for the day. She communicated well with us, sent pics, asked questions and most importantly paid a lot of attention to my pups. We felt they were well taken care of and will use her again ( if my crazy spaniel didn’t run her off lol)

Brookie took the time to meet and greet Wrigley and us before the booking. She was very sweet and took great care of our precious girl. She kept us informed on how Wrigley was doing and stayed longer than planned to make sure Wrigley wasn’t in her kennel too long. We will definitely book her again!
