“Kelly was wonderful watching our new golden retriever puppy while my husband and I had work. She was very communicative, easy to work with and our puppy Willow loved the visits!”


“Special thanks for Mike taking such great care of my 3 pups! I so appreciate getting their daily report card as well as pictures♡ Mike also went above and beyond for us. He reached out to let me know we have some raccoons that found the food we left for the 2 cats on our property. They not only found the food but made quite a mess spilling it all over the deck. Thank you Mike for cleaning up their mess so we didn't have to tackle that when we got home.”

About: Hi there! I’m a college student who studies from home and absolutely loves animals. I’ve had pets my whole life and have 5+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently have a super sweet 80lb labradoodle and a friendly cat who both love new friends and are used to being around other animals. Whether your pup needs a cozy nap spot, a calm environment, or a playful companion, I can adjust to what makes them happiest. I work at the local high school during the day, but when I’m not home, my husband is—so there’s always someone here with the dogs to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision. We also love going on walks around Lee University and nearby parks, so your pet can get fresh air and exercise too! I’m reliable, caring, and treat every animal like family. I’d love to be your pet’s home away from home! I’m a college student who studies from home, so I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just relaxing company, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine. Since I’m home most of the day, your furry friend will never be left alone for long and will always have someone around to give them love and attention. I treat every pet that enters my home like part of the family. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where animals can feel comfortable and safe. I make sure all pets are supervised during playtime and mealtime, and I pay close attention to their behavior to keep them stress-free and happy. My Labradoodle is friendly and well-socialized, and I always do slow, monitored introductions to make sure everyone gets along. I also follow any specific instructions you leave to keep your pet’s routine and preferences consistent. Whether your pet is in my home or I’m visiting yours, you can expect dependable care, affection, and a safe environment every step of the way.

“Jennifer was great! Her 2 drop in visits with our 3- doodles went very well. She sent updates and photos and responded to all my messages. I highly recommend her and will request her services again.”


About: I have two dogs, two cats, and two snake pets of my own. I have taken care of some of these animals for almost 10 years now. Through out the years I have taught some animals some tricks, played outside, and have given them the love and attention they need. I am a freshman in college and looking for a beneficial way to spend my free time; what better way to spend that than with animals? If you are in need for someone to care for your pet I would be more than happy to help! I am a very active person and can take ur pets on walks, keep them entertained or anything of that nature to keep them healthy. For senior pets, I stay at ease, have patience, and am very calm to their liking. I am extremely cautious with any and every animal I take care of to ensure their safety!

“Sara was great and was able to stop by for a meet & greet before the scheduled drop-in visit. Our pups just need to be let out once a hike we were out for the day. Sara sent us pictures and details of her drop-in visit which went smoothly. We look forward to having Sara pet sit for us again in the future.”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and love creating a calm, happy environment. Whether it’s giving medication, handling high-energy dogs, or comforting shy pets, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Our pets are our best friends, and it's my goal to ensure that we enjoy our time together! While it may be my job to provide care and love to your pets while you're away, I can also say that I value my time spent with each animal! Nothing makes my heart happier than a wagging tail or a slobbery kiss :) I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets both during school semesters and breaks. I’m committed to providing mindful, loving care whether it’s a quick visit between classes or longer stays during holidays. Your pets will receive consistent attention and companionship no matter the time of year! When pet sitting in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. I’m careful to secure doors and gates, avoid hazards, and monitor their behavior to ensure they’re happy and healthy.

About: I have raised and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and farm animals! I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to love on your pup! We revolve our life around our animals which currently include a small herd of goats, chickens and dachshunds. I have the time and flexibility to care for your pets in our home and treat them like family! I also have vast experience with animal emergencies that come along with raising farm animals and I feel we (my family and I) are well equipped to handle most situations. We also have a farm vet that is willing to come out in the event of an emergency! I am a stay at home mom and have around the clock availability. When we are out of home it is usually just for a few hours. I can accommodate most schedules! I am available for sitting in our home 7 days a week and to do drop in sitting M-T. We live on 10 acres set back far from the road. We have friendly dachshunds who can be kept separately or allowed to play with your pup! We have a fenced in small pasture for out door play or they can just stay inside and be leash walked!

About: I grew up on a mini hobby farm and helped my family care for our animals starting at around age 7. As I grew older I continued to love animals and have had my own pet rabbits and cats. I currently have two beautiful cats and help to care for my family's aging Golden Retriever when I am at home. I am a student on summer break looking to fill in the gaps left by my part time jobs. I am most available early evenings, Saturdays and some mornings. I am very attentive to animals in my care and will be on the alert for possible hazards your pet may encounter in addition to providing for their needs and comfort . I aim to establish good communication with all animals I encounter.

About: Liscensed as a veterinary medical technician in the state of Tennessee. Attended college at Lincoln memorial university and have been practicing since 2004. I've always owned animals and have worked with all different species. Very flexible. I work from home right now and I have lots of freedom with my schedule. I generally know a week in advance if I'll be away. I live in the country and have little traffic on my road. We can take long walks away from all my pets. I have one medium dog inside and she can be separated from your pet.

About: Hey! I have always been passionate about dogs and have been raised around them since I was a child. I'm dedicated to taking care of your pet(s) and making sure that they have everything they need and are safe. I have three of my own and I would adopt more. I will care for your pet(s) just like I would any of mine. I don't have children, I have fur babies :-) My house has a large fenced backyard with trees and is just like being in the woods. I will follow the instructions you leave for me, feed them at the times that you request, and dispense any medication as instructed. I am great with communication and willing to send you pictures and updates throughout the day of your precious pet(s). I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, so I will be able to check on the babies all day and play as needed. If I am coming to your home overnight, I will need access to wifi for work, that is mandatory. I would love to take care of and play with your furbabies; they’re family too. I have a fenced in backyard, but I can also leash walk your pets as needed. We also have a great nature trail within 5 minutes of my home for higher energy dogs.
