“Nicole took great care of our two cats. Our needs changed and she was able to extend her visits by a week. Also, our cats love her - we highly recommend booking this her!”
“Laura was amazing! Her communications made us feel at ease leaving our older kitties in someone else’s care for the first time! The pictures showed just how at ease the kitties were too. When we met Laura for the first time before she took care of them, we knew she would be a perfect fit and we were right. When we arrived home, the kitties and our home were happy as could be! Thanks Laura!”
About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was born, and have raised and cared for them since I was old enough to help. I have done drop-ins, pet sitting, dog-walking, and even dog massage for friends and family for years. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats of my own, and even a few chickens, too! Others would argue I love animals more than people (they may be right about that, ha!) I am a retired massage therapist and self-published author with time on my hands (pun absolutely intended). Between writing chapters (or bouts of writer's block) I am open for pet care most of the day until the evening, with some night time hours available upon request :) I am clean, compassionate, and considerate. I leave my clients' homes just as I found them - unless the pet has had an accident in which case I'll clean that up before leaving :) I am happy to love on my clients' pets as if they were my own, and take caring for them very seriously.
About: With 3 dogs of my own I am quite familiar with dog care, 7 cats, and 50+ reptiles. I am able to administer medication, walks, enrichment, and photo updates. I would love to chat further, I look forward to hearing from you! -Julia I work from home part time and pick my own schedule. My availability is open throughout the week for pet care. When I’m not working I am caring for my multitude of animals. I’m an active person who loves to stimulate your dogs individual needs. Wether is fetch, walk, or a run around the park I am able to help your furry friends have a more enriching life.
About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
About: I am currently out of state for grad school, but will be back in Tennessee beginning of May-August. So if you’re going on a summer trip, I would be more than happy to take care of your animals while you’re gone! I have had many pets of my own over my life and have started pet sitting in the last few years. I had a dog of my own that is going blind so I have experience with disabled pets. I have also worked some with farm animals. I am comfortable staying with your pets as long as needed. I can crate them if need be. I will do whatever it takes to keep your pets safe!
About: I have years of experience with loving pets of all different breeds and sizes! All of my life I have owned all sorts of pets (super experienced in loving doggos)! I have been a sitter for just homes, cats, dogs, even a stop in for lizards and bunnies! I am reliable and trustworthy, I enjoy sending the owners update pictures or videos of their pets relaxing or playing (optional). I know how heartbreaking it is to have to leave your pet alone and I can promise I will keep them busy, comfortable and loved while they are with me! I currently work from home in Lebanon, my time and availability can always be adjusted depending on the distance and time period. Weekends I am available for over nights or even just stop ins! I provide sitting at my residence for small pets that are okay with Cats, I currently live in an apartment so my services are more preferred at the customers residence. Open to discussion if needed. :)
About: I have taken care of animal’s since as long as I remember! I have always grown up around dogs and cats. I currently have 2 doggies and 3 cats! I’m currently working full time as a registered nurse, but have 4 days off a week to love on your animals! I do not have a set schedule every week, but will try to mark that on my calendar accordingly! I am able to walk your dogs or even cats if that’s what they enjoy! If long walks isnt ideal, we can play inside! Whatever you need for your animal!
“Diane is absolutely amazing! She always sends us photos when she comes to check on our cat, and I know that she is taking great care of her while we are away. Could not ask for a more reliable, professional, and caring person to be taking after our pet while we are gone!”
“Larisa was wonderful - very responsible, caring and willing to help. She went above and beyond. I only wish Max would have been more friendly and come out from hiding 🫣. I highly recommend Larisa for your pet care.”
About: Thank you for checking out my profile! I have loved dogs since I was a child. I have had my first dog for 5 years now. He has been a challenge but it has made me a better dog mom and handler. I want to share my knowledge of reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs that just need a little extra help with obedience. I strongly recommend the use of dog training tools. I always want to set dogs up for success! I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I can make any day of the week tailored to your dogs needs. Unfortunately since my dog is very reactive he will not join me when walking other dogs. But that’s okay, we want dogs to be set up for success! I have a large yard, unfortunately it is not fenced. However, I would be fully dedicated to helping train your dog for leash work, recall and boundaries. My dog is fully trained to be off leash and would love to get your furry friends to the same point! I have a beginner agility course as well which is very fun! I am also willing to go to local trails and parks weather dependent!
About: I have experience with positively training and managing reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I train my own two dogs in IGP competitively. I am an enthusiast when is comes to canine health physically and mentally. Friends with national level sport dogs trust me to watch their dogs for extended periods of time in their home and mine as well. I recently graduated college and have not started a full time career yet. I currently dedicate all my time to training and caring for dogs, and working part-time for the Fish and Boat commission. One weekend a month I drill with the Army National Guard. I leash walk my dogs daily and have a beautiful trail through Penn State Agricultural fields right behind my house. My own dogs are crated when I leave the house and at periods of time during the day. My two dogs are neutral to visiting dogs but will not interact with your pup due to my own training regiment and competitive goals I have set with them. I will be happy to provide a crate for your dog if you wish as well. My male and female are both intact so please inform me if you are planning to board a female in heat.

Tanner K.
“Tanner has always done such an amazing job caring for my babies! There aren’t many people I trust with them, but the care and compassion he shows them is the same they receive from me. From play time, meal time, treat time, and even giving medication he goes above and beyond for them. I can tell from the moment he walks in the door they’re so excited to see him which makes me feel very comfortable to leave them in his hands. My mother’s dog is very fearful and hesitant of new people, but welcomed Tanner in because of his patience with him. I can truly say he is amazing with all animals no matter the breed, shape, or size and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to make their babies feel loved while we cannot be there for them.”
Sadie H.
“Being raised with pets, Sadie knows how to care for fur babies. She’s loving and prefers their company to most humans. She’s responsible and conscientious and will always make sure your pet is well taken care of.”
Cassandra M.
“Cassandra is an outstanding pet caregiver. She had been watching Niko my dog for several years when we were out of town. Niko was blind when he passed at 9. Cassandra would take the dog out for fresh air. He would take long walks with her until he became blind. Cassandra would make sure he was always well cared for when I was not able to be there. Niko began wetting inside the house so she learned more about his daily pee time and would be there to make sure he was outside. I highly recommend Cassandra for any pet needs you have. The woman has an amazing love for animals and anyone should be thrilled to have her take care of their pet (family member).”
Kelsey B.
“Such a great sitter! Accommodated me at the last minute. I will definitely be booking again.”
Morgan G.
“Morgan G. is a GREAT pet caregiver. Whether that is going for a walk, giving a good tummy or back rub, she genuinely loves animals and makes great friends with them quickly. Morgan is also reliable and trustworthy. I know Morgan has multiple pets and comes from a family of pet lovers. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your Pet family member.”

“Janelle is very thoughtful and caring when it comes to dog care and pays close attention to their needs. She is an aspiring trainer that does very well with energetic dogs and is very patient when training with lots of positive reinforcement that dogs respond well too.”
Madeline D.
“I highly recommend Maddie to walk/watch your dogs! I have had her walk mine many times and she always sends pictures and videos, keeps them safe, and makes it fun for them! She takes the best care of dogs and treats them like her own. I never have to worry about my dogs when they are in her care. 10000% recommend maddie for dog sitting/walking.”
