About: I’ve helped my mom since I was 10 raise Yorkies. I’ve had had cats and dogs ever since. I currently raise Black and Tan Coonhounds for show and hunting competition. I have a true passion for all animals. Pet care is my life as it is my full time job. I have cats who are very happy. My father and I have a coonhound raising business that stems from my desire to dedicate time to all animals with love and care. I have a fenced in yard. I also have a sunroom that is specifically for the cats. It has cat towers and all the fun things cats enjoy. The dogs have can be in the house and enjoy long walks on my 40 acres.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. Whether it be training and riding horses, feeding chickens, to raising puppies and kittens! My love for animals is my drive! I have experience with taking care of my past precious dog Mia, who had diabetes, and giving her insulin shots nightly. So if your fur baby has any specific needs or accommodations needed, just let me know and I’ll try my best to accommodate! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule, so unless I am out of town, or just not available, I can house sit, walk, and just overall provide for your bestfriend in the best ways!! I don’t believe in a punitive approach, but more of trying to help my pets to understand what Is necessary. Wether it be potty training, to manners with guest. My dog’s happiness and comfort is my top priority, and to me, your dog’s happiness and comfort is just as important

“Bre was an all around delight for our dog, and cared for her like she was her own. She was consistent with updates complete with photos and very flexible and composed during spontaneous circumstances that came up. We are beyond grateful”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

“Amazing! I have never been happier with an in-home sitter. Great with my Dexter! I almost thought he was going to leave with her instead of staying at home. The stay ended up being longer than planned and a Belgian puppy was added to the mix. She had no issues with either modification to booking. Great with both dogs. Very responsive with communication and respectful of personal boundaries. Highly recommend and will be using again!”


“Hannah was great. We had an extended trip that changed near the last minute, not only was she flexible and worked with us to adjust but I think our boy dog fell in love with her, he was a mess for a while after she left. Will definitely look to work with Hannah again in the future.”


About: I have helped my best friend who is a breeder for a couple years take care of her liters of pups and adult dogs. ♥️ I can watch or do drop in in the evenings after my regular job or on weekends. I can also do the same on some holidays. I have a fenced in back yard and a very friendly golden doodle. I am also comfortable in a clients home if that is what they prefer.

About: I owned dogs, cats, horses, and fish while growing up. Since moving out on my own with my husband we have 4 fur babies and I have lost track of the number of chickens I own now (chicken math is real y'all 🤣)! They are my world! I always help neighbors, family, and friends with their pets anytime they are away or out of the house for a while. I'd love to take care of your babies too! I currently work a full-time job as a teacher, but will still be available to love on your babies in the afternoons and on weekends! I can do mornings before school also if needed! I have a wireless fence system which my dogs are perfect with using. They never try to get out of the yard. My pups can keep your pups company. If needed I have a crate as well.

About: I’ve taken care of my puppies for over 6 years now! I absolutely love all kinds/ types of puppies! Neighbors, friends, family, and others have relied on me to walk, feed, and love on their fur babies!! I am a Senior at Troy University. I have time throughout my day and night to come love on your babies like they are my own! I will always make your babies my priority!! I offer pet sitting and pet walking! I will treat your house with the utmost respect. I will make sure I take care of all the things you love.

About: I have multiple years of sitting experience and enjoy getting to spend time with the animals!! Plus, I can also provide consistent potty breaks and check-ins! I am willing and able to stay at the customer’s home to provide overnight company for the animals! I keep the animals in my mind while I make decisions throughout the period of dog sitting! I have a fenced in backyard, which provides a safe space for potty breaks and playtime! No baths will be provided. The pets will be a top priority!

About: I've loved/cared for animals since I was born, but once I turned 16 I started house-sitting overnight as well as walking dogs for friends, family members, and neighbors. I currently have one dog, Ringo, who has special medications and allergy needs, so I am familiar with administering medication to animals if need be. My part-time freelance position gives me an abundance of time to help with your precious little fur babies and include them into my day to day schedule 💗 I care for pets specifically in their owner's home, whether that be specifically dropping in to take them out on walks, or keeping them company while their family is on vacation!

About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.

About: I have had my own furbabies for 10+ yrs. I have a German shepherd lab mix that I’ve raised from pup she is 7 now, I have potty trained her, taught her basic commands. I also have 2 cats that I have raised from babies. I have learned patience with training and feeding schedules along with treats and walks. I am currently a stay at home wife, so I have open availability and I get up every morning and feed my furbabies and let them roam outside in our fenced in yard until they are ready for a nap. I would love the opportunity to help you where needed! My pets go in and out at much as they like, but if you are needing potty visits I can do that every 2-4 hrs and include a play time as well. I keep my home organized and clean and will keep yours clean and organized during stays as well!

Lisa P.
“Lisa is such a kind and caring person, and her sweet nature draws pets of all types. Whenever she comes to my house, my introverted cat and extroverted dogs flock to her with joy, and she showers them with love and attention. Lisa is also DEPENDABLE. If she says she is going to be at your house at a certain time, she is there. This trait alone gives me total peace of mind, knowing that if I am out of town and she is caring for my pups and cat - they are well taken care of in the same manner that I would care for them. Honestly, I can't recommend Lisa enough and feel thrilled to know someone so kind and reliable, who I trust completely to care for my fur-babies.”
