“Maja is great with all dogs. She has a passion for all kinds of animals. She is very reliable. She will be there rain or shine. She has a dog of her own and two cats. She has lots of experience because she used to work for someone else doing the same job. You can't go wrong having her care for your dog.”
5. Hannah A.
“Hannah was amazing! Great communication, very sweet, and treated Malana like her own. Malana loved her time with Hannah and that’s all a dog mom could ever ask for. 10/10 would book with her again.”
6. Tamekia B.
“Tamekia was great with the furbabies as always. I know I can count on regular updates and that they will be loved on and given lots of attention while we are gone. Thanks again!”
7. Alyssa H.
“Alyssa did a great job. My pets can be a little timid of new people but she respected their space and they warmed up to her quickly. She is also very responsive to communication.”
8. Jordan M.
“Jordan did an amazing job with Milly. She normally has bad social anxiety and it is hard for her to socialize her. However, she is instantly bonded with Jordan. With his laid-back approach and obvious animal experiences, it's no wonder she likes him. I booked him for her session yesterday and she looked for him again today. Definitely will be hiring him again.”
9. Jenna G.
“Jenna is an amazing pet sitter. I have had her pet sit my animals about 10 times and every time she does great. She actually trained one of my puppies. When I came home he was potty trained! I recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

11. Gloria K.
About: As a dedicated stay-at-home dog mom, I take immense pride in ensuring the well-being of my own fur baby. I prioritize exercise, nutrition, and mental and emotional support, ensuring he is always at his best. I extend this same level of care and dedication to your pets while they are in my care. Having grown up with dogs and with a mother who is an ethical breeder of Huskies and German Shepherds, I possess extensive experience with high-energy breeds. Currently, as a stay-at-home dog mom, I am available to drop in at any time, day or night, to check on your pet. I am also open to providing overnight care. I strictly adhere to your house rules and appreciate any general information about your pet, including health or behavioral issues, to tailor my care accordingly. The more information you provide, the better I can care for your pet and your household. For pet parents who like to stay updated, I am happy to send pictures of your pet during my visits. In case of an emergency, please provide me with your vet's contact information and an alternative emergency contact if you are unavailable. Additionally, I am willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks if needed. I am excited about the opportunity to get to know you and your beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your specific needs. Have a wonderful day. Pet care is constantly in my daily routine to ensure the safety and well-being of the pets. Rather that’s nutrition, cleaning, or exercise! Pet care is very important to me and I always do my best! At this time I will not be caring for pets in my home. While I am in the clients home I will adhere to their rules for their pets along making sure that their pet is safe from any hazardous situations.

14. Edward C.
About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what you’re after or stay in and play “hide the treats in blankets.” Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods
15. Rachel E.
About: I have cared for my own animals since my childhood, now that I’m grown I have 1 dog and 4 cats. I’ve been professionally pet sitting for several years. I’m a dog and cat lover and will treat yours like my own! I work from home, so I’ll be available to love on your pets as needed! My schedule is flexible. I am available most times throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced in yard for my dog with plenty of space to play outback. I have lots of play space indoors for my cats including many toys and cat towers that allow them to people and bird watch!
16. Darla H.
“Your pets will be left in the best possible care with Darla H. She is a trust-worthy animal lover and takes pride in a job well-done. She has taken in, rescued and loved many animals that others could not handle. I think she would be an asset to your company.”
17. Courtney H.
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. For the past 6 and a half years, I have gained a wide base of experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. In 2019 I worked to train service dogs for those in need. From there, I went on to work at a local shelter where I maintained kennels, walked and played with the dogs, and even worked on training exercises with all of them. I successfully rehabilitated over a dozen dogs with major behavioral issues, including a rotty who went on to become a bomb detection dog! My love for dogs expanded to Vet-Med, where I have worked for over a year. I can perform CPR, properly and efficiently give medications, I can even bathe and do nail trims; but most importantly I can provide a fun and exciting environment for your pup - whether it’s dropping in to take them on an evening walk or keeping them while you enjoy your vacations! My main goal is to be flexible and convenient for YOU! I am between jobs at the moment, so my availability is open. I can board dogs week day or weekend, whichever you need. I can do house visits, drop-ins, and everything in between any day after 9am. If you need something earlier than that, message me and let’s work something out! I have a huge yard out in the country where your dog can get lots of exercise. I even have a long line in case your dog needs help staying close! I have a pup of my own, his name is Mr. Peanut and he’s a sweet, gentle old man. He loves other dogs, but doesn’t play much. He’d rather sit and watch his fellow friends play and he’ll be there to snuggle up with when it’s nap time. I also have 2 cats who are no stranger to dogs. They are a little shy at first, but when they come around they want all the puppy lovins!!
18. Marissa A.
“Marissa was awesome! She accommodated everything I needed especially with last minute details. She took super nice care of my dogs and sent many pictures! It’s nice to have frequent updates while your away of your furr babies. I would highly recommend her to any of your needs! Thanks again Marissa!”
19. Alicia P.
“My best friend Alicia is incredibly reliable when it comes to pet sitting. Whenever I need to be away, I always reach out to her to take care of my cat and dog because she loves them so much, and they adore her in return! She never forgets to feed them and always gives them the attention they deserve. I truly appreciate her care and dedication!”

About: Over the years, I have built a reputation as a reliable and caring dog walker and pet sitter, looking after both small and big dogs for multiple friends and neighbors. My experience spans various breeds and temperaments, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. Whether it's a quick walk around the block or extended pet sitting services, I provide peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their furry friends are in good hands! As a nursing student and extern, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any pet parent's needs with proper notice. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and I take pride in being able to balance my responsibilities while providing exceptional care for your furry friends. My reliability and dedication ensure that your pets receive the attention and love they need, no matter how busy life gets! When taking care of a client's pet in their home, I make sure to follow their rules and wishes to the letter. I understand that every pet has its own routine and preferences, and I am committed to maintaining that consistency.
