“Vivien was awesome! She came highly reviewed by a friend of mine. She came and let my GSD out while I was at work. She was so sweet to even bring my Amazon packages inside the house for me! Xylo (my pup) looked thrilled on the photos she sent me and it was great to know he was in such great care while I was stuck at work! Thanks so much Vivien! I hope you and Xylo will get to hang out again soon ?”

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, having pets of all kinds since I was 10. From dogs to cats, parrots to ferrets, I love them all. I have volunteered at animal shelters previously, and I have also worked at a cat shelter. I've always been passionate about animals receiving the care and respect they deserve. I have both a dog and a cat in my family (as well as a human son!), and I can't imagine life without them. I have completely open availability currently, and will continue to make as much time as possible for anyone who needs my services. I'm available any time between 9am until midnight, every day including weekends and holidays. I will be caring for pets in the client's home. I'll make sure they get lots of attention in ways that they're comfortable with, taken outside to potty, have adequate food and water, and anything else requested to ensure the client and their fur baby are happy.

About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!

About: Hi there! I'm Kristie, a lifelong animal lover. I've had pets since I was a kid. This includes bunnies, cats, a dog, hamsters, a ferret, and many others. I'm always happiest when I'm surrounded by fuzzy friends. We have recently welcomed a dog into our family. She has taught me all about playtime, patience, and puppy energy. She is the extra family member that I never knew I needed until now! I spent a year working at a local cat shelter where I cared for dozens of cats and even adopted a few myself! I still visit often just to give the kitties some extra love and attention, in hopes that it will help them find their furever homes. I treat every pet like part of my own family because that's what they are to me. Family members. I am gentle, loving, and attentive. I also love to be active and playful when your pups ready for fun. Whether it's a relaxing snuggle, a long walk, or an overnight stay, your pet will get reliable care, comfort and plenty of affection while you're away. I am currently working part-time. So I am available early afternoons and weekends to take in or check in on your furry babies. I'm also available mornings and evenings for home check ins and walks. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. When your dog or cat is with me, they’re treated just like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to every detail. For boarding, I make sure pets have a safe, cozy, and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at home. I keep things calm and consistent so they stay comfortable and happy. During house sitting, I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pets stick to their usual routines, keeping everything familiar and stress-free. When we’re out for walks, I always prioritize safety—using secure leashes, staying alert, and giving dogs the right mix of fun and structure. I’m careful, gentle, and always tuned in to how your pet is feeling. You’ll get regular updates and pictures because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your furry family happy and cared for while you’re away. ❤️

About: 20+ years of personal experience caring for cats and dogs in home environments. Experienced with multi-pet households, senior pet care, kitten/puppy routines, enrichment play, litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and administering medications. Known for patience, attentiveness, and creating low-stress, comforting environments for pets while owners are away. I am currently in the process of finishing my degree. I have a lot of extra time and I love animals so I figured I would give this a shot. I attend college online so I can travel with my schooling. I provide consistent, attentive care in both settings by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, play, and medication if needed. In my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment with supervision, safe spaces, enrichment activities, and structured routines that reduce stress and encourage comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines exactly as instructed, ensuring pets feel secure in their familiar environment while keeping everything clean, organized, and updated. Across both, I focus on reading behavior, providing companionship, and making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood while their owners are away.

“Kayla went above and beyond my expectations! I’ll definitely book with her again.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life! People have called me an “animal lover” since I was very young. Sometimes, spending time with animals is more enjoyable to me than spending time with people. I have a lot of energy to play and run and cuddle with your doggos! I am open, enthusiastic, silly, playful and fun with humans and with dogs :) I will treat your dogs as my own. I can’t think of a more rewarding way to spend my time than being loving and kind to your dogs while you are away. My schedule is flexible and I am a very understanding person who will follow your instructions thoroughly. I am confident in my ability to walk and take care of dogs! I am wide open and ready to hang with your dogs! I want this to be my full time job, so i am leaving my schedule open to accommodate accordingly :) I have 2 dogs, one is 3 and the other is 6. I walk them atleast twice a day, play fetch often, and cuddle them 24/7. I make sure they have the best food and that they are happy and healthy :) It's my main purpose in life. Spending time and taking care of and playing with animals is pure bliss to me. It is an honor to know them and love them. I basically give them all my time and energy. I dont usually spend more than 4 hours away bc i dont want them to be lonely. I will do the same with your babies.

About: Hi! I’m a senior college student taking a semester off to work! I have pet sit for 8 years and love all animals. I have worked with diabetic animals and more. Please consider hiring me🦮🐈‍⬛🐾 My schedule is very open! I walk dogs throughout the week and pet sit too. I can handle energetic dogs, shy cats, diabetic animals, puppies, kittens, and elderly pets. I currently dog sit and walk dogs throughout the day! I am from Bowling Green however I don’t mind driving to take care of pets :)

“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”

About: I'm the owner of Lizs pet care services. I started my own business for pet sitting and basic needs. I have 5 years experience caring for pets if all types dogs, cats, farm, reptiles you name it and I can help. I am certified and I can provide a list of references. I currently have a full time job but have a room dedicated to pets for them to stay in and roam and play while I’m gone depending on there behavior I let them have access to whole house while I’m working and when I’m home I take them on walks and let them play outside till there’re ready to go back inside. I have a room where they can be closed in and a cage if they want if they’re ant to be free they have access to whole house other than my bedroom and laundry room. I live right by a dog park so I take them there to play and then go on a walk around the block then go back inside or let them play on a leash in my front yard whatever the dog wants to do

About: Hello! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have 6 dogs of my own ranging from young, high-energy Labradors to a small senior dog, so I understand firsthand that every dog has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I have experience working with active dogs that require structure, exercise, consistency, and attention, but I’m equally patient with older dogs who may need a slower pace, medication routines, or extra care and comfort. I’m comfortable with large breeds, multi-dog households, feeding schedules, crate routines, and dogs with high energy levels. What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just something I occasionally do — it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind through dependable communication and attentive care. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine since I care for multiple dogs of my own every day. My schedule naturally revolves around feeding routines, exercise, playtime, training, outdoor time, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they need. Because I’m used to managing dogs with different energy levels and personalities, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. Whether that means walks, play sessions, medication schedules, potty breaks, or simply companionship and supervision, I make pet care a consistent priority throughout the day. I believe pets do best when they feel safe, comfortable, and able to stay close to their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on providing a calm, attentive, and structured environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m experienced managing multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including large active breeds and senior dogs. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication routines, crate schedules, leash safety, and each pet’s individual comfort level around people and other animals. Cleanliness, communication, and safety are very important to me. I treat every pet like one of my own and always want owners to feel confident knowing their animals are being cared for responsibly and compassionately while they’re away.

“I was in a crunch to find a walker when I first brought my dog home, and Anne came to the rescue! She has been wonderful to work with. Great communication, reliable, and clearly a true dog lover. I look forward to getting happy pics from their walks together. Would recommend to Anne to anyone!”

About: Animal lover household! I have taken care of many dogs in the past. I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever that would love to have some friends around! We have a house with a gated yard. I am currently working from home which gives me the capability of giving your pets the full attention they deserve. Your pet/pets will be my top priority from playtime to bedtime! I have a fenced in yard and a gentle golden retriever who gets along great with other dogs and is willing to tire herself out playing with your pup! We allow pets to roam the home and lay on the furniture and if the owner prefers, we have crates and gates as well if the owner thinks accommodations are necessary. Your dog will be fully safe and supervised for their stay; as well as provided with lots of cuddles! I fully understand the feeling of leaving your pup with someone new, but I am consistently updating with pictures, videos and updates of the stay/visit!

About: I go by “Charley” hopefully that’s easy to accommodate! Not just have I grown up around animals of all kinds but I have taken care of several friends and families pets to ensure their well being while the owners were away. I currently am not limited to hours to come to care of your furry babies! I’m willing to work around most people’s needs within almost any hours!. I prefer to be able to go to your house to provide any care you’re seeing fit. Such as visiting your pet/animals keeping them active with play time, keep them outside as much as possible for exercise/potty time. I can make sure they are fed/watered. Just providing that time they need to get through the time you’re away.
