Lori watched my two cats for a week and was fantastic! I really appreciated the daily pictures and report cards. She had great communication and was very reliable.

About: Hi! My name is Kayleigh and I am currently a sophomore in college working towards obtaining my associates in radiology. I have grown up around all kinda of pets my entire life! From my first dog when I was 3 to our foster babies my mom and I would take care of. I have always had a love for animals. I’ve volunteered at shelters and have even asked for donations to animal shelters instead of birthday presents for my birthday parties growing up. I say this, not to brag, or receive praise, but to explain how deep my love has gone for these precious creatures. I may be young and I may be new to the app but I can guarantee no one will love and treat your fur baby/babies better than me. I understand the importance of booking with a person you can trust. I have my own fur babies, 2 cats and 1 dog, and promise to treat yours like my own. I have experience dealing with pets from all ages. I’ve dealt with puppies and kittens and even have had experience taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a student in college who is unemployed. With that being said it gives me a very open and flexible schedule for when I am needed! If you are looking for dog care of I am willing to feed/ refill water, walk, bathe, play, administer meds and most importantly give love to your fur baby. If you are looking for cat care I am willing to feed/refill water, play, clean litter box and most importantly give love to your fur baby. I will treat yours pet like my own.

About: I have a Bachelors in Biology, with a special interest in animal behavior (I took several classes on this!). I am also a parent to a sweet cat named Lainey, who I adopted last year. Additionally, I helped walk my dad’s dogs (medium size, one is a blue heeler) for a year or two. I don’t have a full-time job currently, so I have a lot of free time on my hands! I can come almost any time of the day to check on or walk your lovely pets. I have my own doggie bags, but please provide me with your dog’s typical walking equipment. I am very aware of how animals behave, so I’ll keep a very good eye on your pets to make sure they’re safe and happy.

Robert was amazing. He's very sweet and attentive and JuJu loved him. When we returned everything was fine. Robert video chatted with us, sent video, and pics every day we were away. He let himself into our home and we had 0 issues! I would definitely book with Robert again and again!

Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.

About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for most of my life. My family currently includes three medium to large dogs and four cats, so I have extensive experience with both. I am very comfortable with most animals and just love meeting new furry friends! I work full time, so weekdays are a bit difficult for me, but can provide limited services on Thursdays and Fridays in the afternoon or evening. I can provide whatever care is needed for your pet in your home for stop-in visits, walks, feedings, etc. I do not currently offer services in my home.

About: Had to make new account *** Hi, my name is Carson! I have been dog sitting for 10 years now. In high school I worked at Sidle Hill Farms (Dog boarding) in Southhaven, MS. I then gained clients and have been pet sitting from my home and others ever since. I have always dreamed of opening my own dog boarding and then remember I won't even take my own dog to be boarded! That is why I do what I do now, to nurture to love and to calm your pets nerves. I understand that it can be sometimes even more nerve racking for the owner then the pet... I am that owner! My husband Alex and I live in Oakland, Tn with a gorgeous fenced in yard as pictured. I work from home and usually never leave the house unless I go to Walmart up the street. We do not have any children and do not plan on it anytime soon! We are totally content with fur babies for now! A typical day at our home for your pet would include waking up in our bed, breakfast, mornings outside pending on weather (I have an outdoor desk), playing with millions of toys we can't seem to stop buying and of course when Alex comes home a walk around the neighborhood. We can't wait to meet you and your sweet fur baby! Dogs and cats are my whole life I care for them just as children. I love exercise and getting outside so pet care has come as a joy to me not just a chore. Dog walking, bathing, playing, co sleeping, cooking for pets if needed, taking them to groomers ect.. I am available to your pets needs as well as yours!

About: I've had pets and been around animals my whole life. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting numerous times while they were away on trips. I have my own fur babies -cats, dogs, and even a hedgehog - that I care for daily. As a teen I worked as a Vet Assistant where I learned to trim nails, administer medication, and more. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom so I have a very flexible schedule to help care for others' pets as well as my own. I can provide the needed care such as food, water, and potty needs. I also have experience giving medication to animals since I was a vet assistant years ago, but most importantly I can love on my clients' pets and give them a great pet sitting experience.

Mrs. Sarah was amazing with the babies and our little Harley normally takes a couple of visit by the time she warms up and stops barking at you but it didn’t take long (the same day ) she didn’t bark much. She attentive and sweet to the babies. Mrs. Sarah is definitely the pup whisperer 😁

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with senior pets who need a little extra love and support, as well as high-energy pups who thrive on structured play and walks. I’m confident giving meds, handling multiple pets at once, and creating a calm, loving environment whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or going to the park for a walk. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I do this part-time, which allows me to give your pets my full attention when I’m with them. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday, late evenings on Wednesday and Friday, and early mornings on Thursday. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time drop-in, or weekend stay, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for during our time together. I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do your pets. I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and happy every step of the way!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs (and all kinds of pets!) for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by animals and pet sitting for families in my community has given me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I’ve truly seen it all—and I love every minute of it. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the genuine joy I find in building trust with animals and giving them personalized, loving care. Dogs are my favorite animals, and getting to care for them professionally feels like a dream come true. I'm patient, dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve also cared for guinea pigs, fish, birds, and bunnies—so I’m happy to help with your non-canine companions too! Whether you’re heading out of town or just need an extra hand, you can count on me to keep your pets happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student who has 2 full days of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (8:00am-5:00pm), 2 half days of class on Mondays and Wednesdays (8:00am-12:00pm OR 1:00pm-5:00pm), and Friday off! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my mission to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, peaceful walks around the neighborhood, or just snuggling up on the couch, I give each pet the attention, affection, and comfort they need while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules closely and make sure they’re eating, drinking, and taking any necessary medications on time. I’m also happy to send photo or video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I am an animal mom of 8, ranging from dog to cats, that pays extensive care and excessive attention to my own furry ones and will provide the same treatment to your own. I am a former vet assistant, a rescue volunteer and foster. I have had dogs and cats from the age of 10 and have never not had a dog or cat to love and care for. I am a stay at home dog mom and a part time photographer so my schedule allows for drop in visits during mid morning to early evening. I will care for your pets just like they are my own. No one can replace you but I will be the next best thing.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young teenager. I’ve grown up around them my whole life. I had a high needs dog when she was elderly. She had cancer and was allergic to everything. She required regular baths with medicated shampoo, hypoallergenic food, regular ear cleanings for ear infections, lots of medication, doggy diapers, sprays, lotions, and lots of extra love. Because of all the experience I got caring for her, I had thought for long time I might want to be a vet. If your pet requires a little extra love, I am definitely the sitter for you. I absolutely love caring for all animals big and small, young and old. If you have additional smaller pets like hamsters, birds, reptiles, etc.. I will also gladly check on those pets for you while I am there for free! I would love to love on your furbabies ❤️ I have a toddler at home but a completely open schedule to come anytime. I am an early riser and get to bed late so I am very flexible. I will take plenty of pictures to send to you while you are out and will love on them like they are my own. I can crate animals as needed as well.

About: I have been asked to pet sit for neighborhood families multiple times in the past. Everyone who knows me knows that I love and care for all animals, big and small, fuzzy or scaly. People know that when they choose me to pet sit their pet is being treated like a member of the family even while they are away. I also was a member of my local shelter's doggy day camp when I lived in Knoxville. This program was a volunteer project that took shelter dogs out and about for a day of love and fun! I have some experience with giving medications and injections to dogs, cats, and snakes. I also have experience with senior dogs (one of my own is nearly blind and deaf). I can take care of reptiles and mammals (anywhere from ferrets to puppies) and I am currently working towards becoming a certified veterinary technician to help better care for animals' needs. At the moment my schedule is completely free for any service required! If needed I can stay at your home and provide around the clock supervision or just stop by every few hours. I can provide your pet with walks, outtings, and playtime as often as you desire! I am open to flexible, short-term, long-term, and last minute requests, but clients that book first will get first priority. There are a few nearby parks that my dog and I like to visit to get some exercise in. My dog Luna loves to play with other dogs and have fun! I am absolutely willing to do a little traveling and take your buddy to their favorite parks or even research to find new pet friendly spots for them to explore!
