“Merrick is fantastic and I will absolutely have him watch my dogs in the future. My dogs are usually anxious when I travel, but did great in Merrick's care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”

“Rebecca did a great job taking care of my baby. She was on time for the visit and treated him like her own. She sent me lots of pictures of my sweet boy. Would recommend and will use again”

“We are so grateful for the care and attention you show our girls. It’s a huge relief to know they are in such good hands when we travel. Thank you so much!!!”

“Ashley is amazing with our dog! She has watched our dog multiple times now and is so great with communicating with us. We gets lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her!”

“Ariel was extremely patient and went above and beyond in caring for our very shy kitty. Having adopted our kitty and traveling extensively with her (6,000+ miles) during COVID, this was the longest stretch (3+ weeks) that we had left her in the care of another…and we picked very well. We would highly recommend Ariel!”

“Megan is the sweetest person ever! Our cat Zazuu adores her. She’s very caring and passionate about animals and you can tell she’s always willing to help. There was a slight problem with our apartment and Megan was kind enough to take care of it. I’m definitely calling her again! ♥️”

“I will definitely use Bailey again. I felt confident leaving my pup with her and she kept me well informed on how he was doing. Hoping to have Bailey as a regular!”

About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.

“Brooke was amazing and took such great care of my two cats while I was away. She was a great communicator and always told me when she was heading to my place. She also always left a thorough review of each visit with pictures included. I was confident that the cats got the best care possible!!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!
“Melissa did an awesome job watching my kittens. She is always great with them and is a very responsive communicator! Will be going to her in the future for more bookings!”


“Damaris gave carr, love and affection to my dog and cat. she stepped up in a pinch when my sitter had a family emergency. Will definitely get het to housesit again!”


“Nayla has been absolutely wonderful! She does daily check-ins during the workweek for my big Newfy girl Bella, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. Bella clearly enjoys her company, she is always relaxed and happy when I return. I would highly recommend Nayla to anyone looking for a dependable, loving sitter!”

“Brittany was exceptional! You can tell she loves animals. I will definitely reach out to her again when I travel. Thank you from Lisa, Jezzy and Merri Margaret”

About: I currently dog sit two dogs named Ducky and George and have been for a couple months. Previously I have dog(pet) sat for multiple people going on 6 years. I have worked with dogs and animals of all types and sizes and am comfortable with any kind of animal. I I’ve worked with animals my whole life as well being raised on a farm. When I was younger I cared for our donkeys, horses, and helped with the cattle. For as long as I can remember I’ve always had dogs in the family. I currently have 2 Aussie Doodles Max and Molly. And my family often take in and care for older rescue dogs. I have a rescue horse named Journey, he is a big orange sweetheart. I have a varried schedule during the week due to college, but am available most of the time. If I need to make a quick stop I’ll be sure to let the dog out prior to leaving and return as soon as possible. They would be left alone at home no longer then 4 hours. I have a fenced in backyard and the dogs can feel free to use the furniture how they like. If you provide the crate I will lock them up if needed.

About: I’ve always been the go to sitter for professors in my programs, from Weiner dogs to Bernese I’ve taken care of them all! School is out for the summer, and I’m currently working part time with a fairly flexible schedule. I can check in on pets throughout the day, and am free for walks when not at work. I always try to keep the area free of anything your furry children can get into, whether socks or tempting snacks on the counter. I’m always ready to jump up and take then out when they’re ready to go, and try to make them feel safe and anxiety free while their parents are away!

I am so thankful I found Melissa! Toby LOVES her and is always so excited to see her! She has taken such good care of him on her drop-ins - she plays with him, loves on him and makes sure he has everything he needs and that I have requested for him. She is a jewel!!

Nayla has been absolutely wonderful! She does daily check-ins during the workweek for my big Newfy girl Bella, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in good hands. Bella clearly enjoys her company, she is always relaxed and happy when I return. I would highly recommend Nayla to anyone looking for a dependable, loving sitter!

There are really only two words that can adequately describe Taylor: Above and Beyond. She is SO incredibly kind, thoughtful, and thorough. Talk about going the extra mile -- during a brief check-in appointment, she even brought in our mail and took out the garbage. How's that for exceeding expectations? And of course, the most important part, when we got home, our dogs were fed, happy, and well. She will absolutely be our go-to resource for future needs, and I've already shared her info with my fellow pet parents.
