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: 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: Hi! My name is Lisa, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 30 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, and I always treat them like family. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow any special instructions. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority! Hi! I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule, which means I can spend plenty of quality time with your pet. Your furry friend will never feel lonely — I’ll be there to give them the attention, care, and love they need while you're away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just relaxing together, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy. I have a large fenced backyard where your dog can play safely, and they'll also have a friendly Bichon Frise to keep them company! !

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!

“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: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).

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’ve been dog sitting my neighbors dogs for the last three years. I’ve also grown up around dogs, my whole life and have helped take care of them. I work a part-time job so I have plenty of time to help out after school and on the weekends. There’s plenty room in my schedule for taking care of pets. I make sure they have water at all times, I feed them at the appropriate time they need to be fed, and make sure they go to the bathroom frequently, and I also make sure they have playtime

About: I have over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs. I can walk, feed, train, play with and check in with your beloved pets. I am currently an online graduate student so I have plenty of time to tend to your pets needs. My schedule is flexible, so don’t hesitate to reach out! At the time I am offering check ins and walks - with potential of expanding soon. I have leashes, collars, harnesses, and plenty of experience walking all breeds!

About: I have 4 years of experience working with dogs (2 years in a daycare-only setting, and 2 years in a daycare/training setting). I thoroughly enjoy training puppies, and building a solid foundation for their adulthood, making life easier for the pet and owner. I am familiar with obedience-based training and can work with dogs of any age. I also have experience in pet-sitting, as I have taken care of multiple family members’ dogs over the years, as well as coworkers. My dogs are my world, and I will treat your babies the exact same way! I am currently working part-time and can create my own schedule, so I am very flexible. The earliest I am available is 7am, with the latest being 7pm, 7 days a week. I am currently only able to offer drop-in (or longer) visits, training sessions and walks. While I would love to welcome your baby into my home, I have 2 dogs who can be territorial. I want to ensure the complete safety of your pets. When I am in a clients home, I follow and respect any rules/requests.

Zhiqing W.
“Zhiqing is truly a wonderful and trustworthy person when it comes to caring for dogs. Her love for puppies and dogs shines through in everything she does. She looked after my corgi for an month in 2023 summer, and I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver. She not only ensured that my dog was well-fed and exercised, but also gave him lots of attention, making her feel safe and happy in my absence. I am deeply grateful for the care she provided, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind to look after their dogs.”


Haley O.
“Haley takes wonderful care of our Belgian malinois Charlie! If you give her instructions for your fur baby, she does everything you ask and then some. It’s very hard for us to trust someone since we have such a high energy breed, but we would choose her over and over without question. Her genuine love for animals is unmatched, you’d be lucky to have her.”

Sam E.
“So trustworthy! My dog loves Sam and Brad. I have used both of them to pet sit for us when we were out of town several times and it was easy to verify that they did exactly what I asked and my Vizsla loved being with them. They walked him, fed him, dispensed his medication and played with him. I felt very comfortable leaving Dakota because I knew he was being well cared for. I highly recommend either and both of of them to care for your pets.”
