“Jane was absolutely fantastic, we are pretty sure our two dogs didn’t want to come home since they were so content with her! She sent regular updates and was so accommodating with our drop off and pick up. We can’t wait to use her for future doggy care needs.”


“Christina K. was splendid! My fur baby was treated with care and I was updated during the stay at the perfect frequency. If you are ever in need of the perfect boarder, Christina is the perfect choice.”


“Kassandra saved our trip! She watched our boys for the holiday so we could travel last minute! I'm very thankful she was available and took great care of our fur babies!”


“Thanks so much to Kim & Eddie for taking such good care of our little Rudy! They have watched him before and each time they have given him such great care! We love how they love our Rudy!!!”


About: I have been around animals since I was a little girl. Being raised on a 160 acre farm that includes.... horses, mules, dogs, cats and goats. I know animals are not just our “pets” but they are our family! I know what it’s like to be away at work or vacation and concerned if your dog is okay. Rest assured they would be in caring hands with me! I love to send photos/updates. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but I’m available in the evenings (5pm to 9pm) and anytime on the weekends to help care for your doggos! I own my home and live in a subdivision, I do have a backyard but it is currently not fenced in. For this reason I’ve been prioritize more drop in visits for people and staying at your home instead of mine. Although with the right situation/pet, animals are welcome to stay at my home!

“My dog, Rosie loved staying with Samantha! She got to play with her dogs and had a fun time. I also got a photo and video during her stay to make sure she was doing great. Definitely recommend her😊”


“She was awesome! Did great watching my dog”


About: With years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving, and personalized care. I specialize in working with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. From giving medication to managing special diets, I’m confident and calm under any situation. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with animals, even the shy or anxious ones. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m fully available every day of the week, which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care whenever you need it. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute drop offs, I can adapt to your pet’s routine and give them the love and attention they’re used to getting at home. Their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet friendly environment where routines are followed, and every pet gets the individual attention they deserve. From feeding schedules to walks and medication. In my home, pets have a clean, secure space to relax, play, and feel at ease, with constant supervision and zero overcrowding. I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved at all times.

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

“Brittany was wonderful with my cat! She was also very kind to accommodate to my needs of extending services at last minute. I recommend her to anyone. She is such a sweet person.”


About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep passion for animals and my extensive experience in providing personalized care tailored to each dog's unique needs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, preferences, and routines, which is why I prioritize building a genuine bond with them. With a background in volunteering at animal shelters and training in pet first aid, you can trust that your furry friend is in safe hands. I offer daily updates, photo shares, and consistent communication to keep you connected while you're away, ensuring peace of mind for both you and your pup. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I am available mostly all day every day. I work some days, but I can do whatever is needed around my work schedule to provide for the dog. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by ensuring all potentially harmful items are out of reach and providing a designated, comfortable space for them to relax. My home is pet-proofed, with secure gates and non-slip surfaces to prevent accidents. I maintain a clean and organized space, free of hazards, and always have fresh water and nutritious treats available.

About: Being raised in a home full of animals/small farm, I have such a huge heart for dogs ❤️ Our 3 are my babies and I will treat yours with the same care! I work from home majority of the time throughout the week. Additionally, when away, I work nearby our home, with a flexible schedule and availability. We have a large yard and space around our home. We ensure safety by taking the dogs out on a leash and implementing frequent walks.

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.”


Sweden C.
“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet like family, look no further than Sweden. I’ve known her for years, and she is truly one of the most caring, trustworthy, and animal-loving people I’ve ever met. Sweden has a natural connection with animals, dogs and cats instantly feel comfortable around her. Whether she’s going on long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just giving belly rubs and snuggles, she gives every pet the attention and affection they deserve. She’s also incredibly responsible and communicative. You’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in loving, capable hands. If I had to leave my pet with anyone, it would be Sweden, no question. She’s the kind of person who shows up on time, pays attention to the little things, and truly treats your pet like her own. You (and your pet) will be so lucky to have her!”
