“Rob did a great job with our dogs for the weekend! He went above and beyond and even offered to drop by an extra time just to check in if we were late getting home. We will definitely have him watch our dogs again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“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.
“Samantha took great care of our Pixie. She followed the medication / food instructions and took excellent care of our home while we were away. She was also extremely flexible with this booking. Thanks so much, Samantha!”
About: I have had animals in my home since I was born. I have had small to large dogs, and believe that each requires love, nurture and one to one time to live the best life. I am adamant about taking my dogs out for exercise regardless of the weather, and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time! Any special needs your pet has, I can accommodate, whether medical or for comfort. I am flexible in my care routine, and open to feedback. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to play with and care for my animals at ease. I have a free schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and love to play with my animals outside. I have several dog beds and they find comfort on the couch!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently own two of my own! I have cared for many pups and understand that each one is special and different in their own way. I can’t wait to care for your bestie :) My “day” job is 3 days a week, very flexible, and mostly night shift. I am able to work around your schedule and needs; often last minute as well. I will respect any and all boundaries you have set for your pup and home. I am comfortable with long walks or a simple backyard play if needed. I will always adhere to your pups schedule and needs :)
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 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!

Every dog is a happy dog in her presence. She will look after your dog just as she does for her own. You wouldn’t have to worry about a thing while your babies are in her watchful care. She will give you every update before you can even ask for it. She’s truly the best. I have no doubt that she won’t disappoint in any capacity.”

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).”

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.”
