“Keshia was amazing! She left wonderfully detailed notes and it was great to feel like the person taking care of our girl actually cared! I highly recommend Lakeshia and will definitely be using her services in the future!”


“Nathan did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town! We definitely recommend Nathan if you want someone with experience to drop-in and take great care of your furry family members!”


About: Hello, I have been taking care of a wide range of animals since I was 15. I’ve had 5 ferrets, guinea pigs, cats and dogs my whole life. I have a Staffordshire terrier, an American bully, and a black lab/ leopard catahoula mix. I am used to having a heavy dog on the opposite end of the leash and I am well experienced in animal body language to keep your baby and myself safe. I am currently looking for a full time job as a stay at home mom. Right now I am available during the day. The only times I will not be available is from 7:50- 8:10 am and 3:40-4:00 I will make sure any and all instructions are followed correctly to ensure adequate and safe service. Plus a few head rubs before I left.


“Ronda took very good care of my three cats. She made sure they were fed and watered and their litter box was clean. She shared pictures when she was able to see them; my cats love to hide. She also was respectful of my house which was a big thing gor my husband and I. We will definitely use Ronda again.”


“Ashley is the best person you can have caring for your babies. She went above and beyond for an entire week for my various pets, which included poultry- even in bad weather! I am so grateful to her and highly recommend her for any pets you have.”


“Summer took care of our pets for nine days. We were very happy with the care she provided them. Since we were unavailable by phone she would contact our daughter and let her know how everything was going. We really appreciated this. We would definitely use her again.”



“Thank you Kimberly for providing such great care and peace of mind to enjoy our daughter's wedding! Having a young puppy and not many boarding options was stressful but you made leaving Brutus so much easier. Thanks for being so prompt and attentive, we really appreciate it and look forward to booking with you again. Getting to have your animals cared for in home is awesome. And extra thanks for feeding Charlie bird too!”


“Brandi is great! She is sweet and very professional. She did 2 drop-in visits, and they both went very well! She let my dogs out and gave one of them their medicine. I have already requested another date for her! I definitely recommend Brandi to take care of your pets!!”


“Leaving our animals is always the most stressful part of a vacation, but we felt at ease knowing that Jocelyn was taking card of everything. She sent lots of photos and updates, responds quickly to any messages, and is always willing to help with anything that comes up. She is awesome!!”

About: If you have any questions about my services please reach out to me. I am willing to be as flexible as I can. Since I am in school through Monday - Friday. But I am available all day and all night on the weekends. I have my own pet. He is a rag-doll cat and he requires a lot of attention throughout the day which I love because he is very interactive. I love to cuddle with my pet and any other animals that I can get the opportunity to cuddle and pet. I love playing, walking and just simply hanging out with any pets.

About: My name is Charne! I used to have an English black lab who became my service baby and was the sweetest boy on this planet. I always knew I wanted to work with animals growing up. Weather that was rescuing them or just sharing my love with them!! I am certified for wildlife animal rescue as well. I am very active and would love to do outdoor/indoor fun activities with your pets!! I am experienced in special care for pets like medication, injections, wound care, etc. Animals are life and without them where would our hearts be! I’ve always had pets from the age of 0 until now! Growing up I was raised with three dogs, two cats, and always two birds! My parents always told me you can tell a lot about a person on how they treat animals!! I currently live with my Fiancé and we rescued our pup Zeppelin from an abusive home 5 years ago. He has now grown to realize that love does exist, kisses are always wanted, and the couch/bed is the most comfortable place on earth!! He has severe allergies so I have experience in prepping a raw diet to fit his allergy needs! We also have a cat named Sage. She’s my baby and our snuggles are my favorite part of the day! I’d love to share my love & care with other furry friends!! I currently own my own silversmithing business and make jewelry full-time, in my home and on my schedule so my availability is completely open!!! 🥰 I follow instructions to the T!! I understand that every pet has their own individual needs & requirements and those need to be met in order to keep them happy, by sticking to their known schedule! I unfortunately do not allow in home pet setting at my house as our dog was a rescue and we are still not comfortable him being around other animals for longer than an hour as his patience can run out. For the safety of our pets, I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home!! I have years of experience with different pups, volunteering at rescues and rescuing animals myself, so their safety and care will always be my top priority! Also giving unlimited love :))

We also have 6 cats and 2 dogs. I have a lot of experience with farm animals, feeding schedules and much more!

About: Tail-Wagging Farm Retreat – Stress-Free Boarding with a Trainer’s Touch! Welcome to your pup’s dream vacation! I offer in-home boarding with all the comforts of a peaceful, clean, and dog-loving space — complete with fresh air, wide open acreage, and a calm, low-stress environment designed just for dogs. With over two years of experience as a full-time professional dog trainer and a lifetime spent around dogs of every breed, size, and temperament, I understand canine behavior deeply.

Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or snuggle up for belly rubs, they’ll get personalized care and attention every day. Think of it as a mini-retreat — a farm-style getaway with all the structure and love your dog deserves. Let your pup vacation while you do — they’ll thank you with tail wags and happy zoomies! 🐾 I am a full-time professional dog trainer that has made caring for and training dogs my livelihood. I board my trainees full time and would love to add a couple of regular clients or newbies to the crew! Keeping dogs safe, happy, and healthy is my number one priority as I am experienced in delivering the utmost care for your pup! I am also very experienced in tailoring my schedule to your dog’s needs of care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and provided medications when needed including pills, eye drops, and shots! I also am flexible to what your pet’s routine already is! I’m home for summers from college (Go Dukes) and I’ve always loved animals, so pet-sitting is my only job over this time! I’m available all days throughout the week! When you’re vacationing in the summer I will look after your pets and give you peace of mind with pictures I take of them and I always leave your house looking like I was never even there!
