About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, I started working at a dog kennel when I was 14 then I moved to a daycare and I also worked at a rescue. I've had lots of experience in the animal care fields, I've done bathing, nail trims, administered medication, light training, and just all around pup exercise! I've cared for senior pets as well as pups around 5-6 months. Animals are my passion and I treat each one with the respect and care they need to feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Im currently working, but I've been pet sitting for years and wanted to expand now that I have more availability. I'm home from 3:30 on and on Wednesdays and Thursdays all day. My doggies at home run and romp around during the day while I'm at work, I come home on lunch to let them all out to potty and play for a bit and then after work it's non stop until bedtime! :) I have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run and play, also an unfenced front yard for those off leash friends! I have 4 dogs of my own 2 little and 2 big, to keep your furry friends company while they stay. I have numerous crates to use if needed to make your pup comfortable. Your dogs will become my family during their stay here! I send pictures and updates of your pups during their stay, to make you feel more comfortable and see what your furry pal is up too! Having many dogs makes it hard for company but, I come right to you once you arrive, or can sometimes offer pick-up service.
About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)
“I’m so glad I boarded my two cats with Elizabeth! My drop off and pick up times we’re pretty late and she accommodated me perfectly. Everything was super convenient. She sent me updates on my babies while I was away which gave me peace of mind and overall her and Steve are just pleasant people. 10/10 stars! Would definitely board again.”
“Zoe took amazing care of my cat while I was away on a trip. Took pictures every day, played with her for a good period of time, and made sure she was happy. Will definitely be reaching out to Zoe when I need her services again. Thanks Zoe!”
“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing! She took care of our 2 fur babies with such love and care! She sent us pictures and a text every day with updates on how they were doing. I will recommend Dawn to everyone and we will absolutely book with her anytime we need to travel!! Five Stars!!!!”

“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Woody during my week long vacation. I felt very comfortable with her in charge and Woody really liked her as well. She did everything that was asked of her and she often went above and beyond. She sent pictures and kept up with my trip and even left the lights on for me when I was on my way home. I would certainly book Jessica again and highly recommend her.”
“Josephine was on time and took great care of my cats. She responded right away each time I had a question. She followed my instructions perfectly and I really appreciated that. I would definitly call her again to take care of my cats. Thank you so much.”

About: Hey dog parents! My name is Jane and I have extensive experience as a full-time pet boarder and sitter when I was based in Nashville, as seen from my reviews! I loved it so much, but I also front a rock band, and our touring schedule has prevented me from pet-sitting consistently for the past couple of years. I also live in a converted campervan with my fiance Ian (a fellow dog lover as well). We will be bouncing around the northeast area for the summer and fall, so we will be available to care for your pet! :) Having our own space in the van works great for house sitting because we can park outside your home, but we don't have to use your kitchen or bedroom, while still spending most of the day in your home with your pet. The perfect blend of boundaries and creating a stable environment for your pet! But of course, if you have a pet that prefers to have someone sleep in the house (it's happened MANY times before) we can keep the schedule they are used to. We don't mind dogs in bed if that is what they are used to. It is all about keeping life consistent for your babe. I have always been a dog lover and grew up with a golden retriever, Honeymoon. Making sure dogs feel comfortable and loved is so important to me! Being in a small space and touring in a band prevents us from getting our own pup, but we would love to help care for yours! We are self-employed so our schedule is very fluid. We would work on our laptops in your home, being with your pet most of the day! I love taking walks, so it is no problem to give your dog regular exercise! Playtime and cuddling are always a must to make your dog feel loved and ease anxiety while you are away!
About: I love being outdoors and exploring, so I would be happy to take your best friend wherever their heart desires. I have always grown up with pets, and I currently have two pups, Kona and Angie. Safety and following owner's requests are always my number one priority, followed by fun! My availability fluctuates some on the weekends, but I currently own my own business and attend college online making my schedule very flexible and accommodating during the weekdays. Ensuring safety and trust for your pets is top priority. In my home we take measures to create hazard-free spaces. Outside of my home, adapting to your pets environment is their top need, and my main focus. No doubt, your pet will receive the dedicated love and care they deserve.

I have had the privilege of entrusting her with the care of my beloved pets, and can say with complete confidence that she goes above and beyond to make sure each animal in her care feels safe, happy, and loved. From the moment Rebecca met my cats, I felt immediately comfortable with how much love and compassion she put into learning each pets unique personality and needs. What truely sets Rebecca apart is her attention to detail and empathy. She kept me informed with regular updates and photos, which gave me incredible peace of mind when I was away.

Jane F.
“Jane regularly watches my dog when I am away. My dog is nearly blind and requires extra attention and mindfulness including eye medication administered multiple times per day. It is important to me that I can count on the person who watches my dog to give her the same care as I would. Jane does a wonderful job with my dog and gives me regular updates via text message. I feel very at ease leaving my dog with Jane and know that she is getting the same love and attention I give her when I am home. I feel very lucky to have found someone I can rely on when I am away.”
