“Tammy was outstanding with our precious boys. Butch and Sundance. So attentive, kind and respectful of our home. Without any hesitation we would definitely have Tammy care for our babies and home. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. It was definitely our pleasure to meet Tammy and our boys were so cared for and loved. We are so grateful!”
“Jarrod was a fantastic dog sitter for our 3 pups while we were gone for the weekend! He is very friendly and easy to work with. During his stay, the dogs got plenty of attention and walks; we got plenty of pictures and updates. One of our dogs can be untrusting of strangers, but he quickly warmed up to Jarrod. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for top quality services.”
“Kandice house-sat for us for almost 3 weeks while we were out of the country, and she took excellent care of our (60 lbs and very stubborn) dog and 2 cats. She frequently sent us updates and kept in close communication throughout our trip. We were delighted to return to a clean house and happy animals!”
“Kassidey was great with Penny and Diana! We got lots of updates and she even met and pet our very shy cat!! She has been very flexible with us while our schedules are kind of crazy too! Thanks!!”
“Ashleigh was amazing with Ralphie and we would ask her to watch him again in a heartbeat! She was very communicative, super friendly, and great to work with. She sent us loads of updates and pictures and videos throughout the night!”
“Noa did a phenomenal job taking care of my boys. She made sure they were good, sent plenty of pictures and videos and even stayed longer sometimes to make sure they weren’t by themselves too long. Would definitely recommend and use again! They were in great hands”
“Patrice was fantastic housesitting for our elderly dog and young pup for a week. They had great care and Patrice kept us well-informed when one of the dogs didn’t seem to feel well for a day or so. It was a great comfort to have someone who cares so much about animals and their well-being looking after the dogs while we were away!”
“Katie did a great job with our German Shepherd! It's hard to find a good, trustworthy sitter so it was nice to be able to enjoy our trip and not worry about what was going on back at home knowing Katie was there!”
“Gina was great with my pups while I was traveling for work. She helped when my dog wasn’t feeling well and was communicative with her schedule and flexible with her days as needed!”

“Appreciated the pictures and the responsiveness to email. The only thing that keeps me from a 5 rating is that I was unable to actually meet Scott in person. Part of that may have been on me as the request was "last minute." Maybe next time we can meet in person.”
“Emiley did a great job watching my cat Alex while I was out of town. She asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what I needed and then let me what she was able to do within her schedule. We worked out plan that was good for both of us. She kept in contact and gave daily updates while she was watching Alex.”
“Great communicator and very respectful of our home! Clearly loved being with our dogs and took great care of them as they were relaxed and happy when we returned. Will use Emma again!”
“Mindy was amazing! From the beginning to end, she was flexible, understanding and helpful. She was extremely communicative and took great care of our fur baby and our home. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone and would 100% use Mindy again! Thank you again Mindy!”
About: I have been sitting dogs since I was 14, and a now 27. I currently work from home as a marketing specialist. I used to work for Dogtown in Lexington KY for almost a year and anyone there will tell you I get pure joy out of every second I get with those furbabies. As I mentioned, I currently work from home so I am only available most days of the week. I am currently working part time from home so my availability is very open. I am most available for in-home boarding as I would be able to be with your pet for most of the day. I offer full service boarding care + a friendly male dog. We have; fully fenced yard (massive open space), fresh water, treats (allergies noted), baths, walks, hikes (for high energy breeds), car rides, toys, an entire basement to themselves (with TV, two couches to lounge on, fully climate controlled)
“Terra was an exceptional pet sitter. We have multiple pets with diverse personalities, and she effortlessly managed to engage with all of them. Our pets are Covid pets who struggle with changes in their routines, and Terra demonstrated remarkable patience with them.”
