About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need.

“Great to see Astro happy! On time and a good play o our pup”


“Great communication, timely replies and was great with our German Shepherd!”


About: I’ve graduated from an Animal Science & Technology Program & have some experience with anxious dogs and dog aggressive dogs. I have also volunteered at a shelter that had Dogs and Cats. I have watched my neighbors dogs for a couple of years now. They have a dog who has been 12+ the entire time I’ve watched him. He’s now gone mostly deaf so I have small experience with that. Their other dogs is younger and a 100+ pounds. So I have experience with bigger dogs. I have 3 cats of my own and have watched some cats now as well. I also took care of cats at my old dog kennel job. I did have a hound dog when I was younger and a lab mix who was an escapee artist. So I’m very vigilant about closing gates and doors. I am hoping to make this a Part time job. I recently had to drop out of college because of my grades so I’m just trying to make a living doing something I enjoy. I will send daily updates to their owner. I will make sure to stick to the pets daily routines. I will try to walk dogs (and even cats) when the temperature allows.

About: I will give your pets attention, care and love. I have very little experience but I have 1 cat and a dog I take care of. I wake up and I feed my cat, and I play with her. I then feed my dog and play with him. And then later on I feed them dinner and play time. I will follow routine if there is one, do as I am told, protect your pets at all costs, pets are our world, and I will provide the care that it needs and deserves.

About: I’ve had animals all my life, primarily dogs. I currently have three dogs & understand their need for love and attention. I promise to take as good of car as your fur babies as I would my own. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to give your pups the care and attention they need and deserve while you’re away. I love being around animals and they can feel that so most of them love me. I am safe, dependable, and am more than capable of handling all accommodations or requests you may require.

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. From feeding schedules and walking routines to playtime and specific care instructions, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away. Your peace of mind is my top priority, knowing your furry friend is in familiar surroundings and well cared for.

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

“We were so happy to meet Katie. We were able to relax and know our babies were ok while away.”


“Molly was great! She was very flexible and took amazing care of my dogs. She came to my home for a meet and greet as well! She provided communication while I was on vacay. I will definitely use her again.”


About: I am a compassionate and caring dog sitter, with over 10 years of house sitting, dog sitting/walking experience. Provided in home daytime, evening and overnight pet, and exotic animal care including: dog walks; fed meals; gave treats; refilled water bowls; cleaned litter boxes and other messes; play and cuddle time Administered oral and topical medications as well as gave insulin injections Provided house sitting duties which included: collected mail, newspaper and packages; watered plants; put garbage/recycling bins out on designated days. Do any medical assistance the dogs may need while apart from their owners Overall provide dogs with a loving home to make time away from owners more comfortable. This isn’t a job for me this is a passion. Do what you love and love what you do!

About: I was born and raised in the country, my papaw gave me my first dog when I was 5 years old who I named Charlie and told me that I was responsible for taking care of him. That's when I learned the friendship, love, and compassion that pets can behold. He was the 1st of many pets that I had, he lived till I was 17 and will always have a special place in my heart. Throughout my childhood to my teens, I took care of many animals usually dogs but there were cats, ducks, chicken, rabbits, fish, lizards, hamsters, and even befriended a bear cub once thinking it was a dog until my papaw realized and ran it off to prevent momma bear from coming our way. I guess you could say I have always been drawn to animals and I'm so excited for the opportunity to care for your pet, giving you peace of mind that they are receiving quality care. I recently decided to work from home so I could have more time to contribute to things I'm passionate about and one of the things I'm the most passionate about is caring for animals of all varieties. Starting out, I will be available 3 days a week but if there is enough interest generated, I will open my schedule up more. I will follow any and all care instructions given by the pet parent especially if there are any specific care instructions such as administering medications, avoiding allergies, and assisting with physical limitations. I will provide a safe yet fun and happy environment for your pet, making sure they are fed and hydrated while having lots of human interaction. It will be the next best thing to having their pet parent there with them. I can also communicate frequently with messages, pictures, and videos also giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.

Jeri Anna R.
“Jeri is very loving and kind to animals... she very much cares for the animal's well-being and was very dedicated to ensuring our dog was fed and watered to our requests. She also provided helpful suggestions on ways to improve our dog's health and vitality. Kaya always got extra doggie treats when Jeri was around. :) When our dog was hit by a car, she went above and beyond to ride with me to the vet and hospital while holding our Kaya lovingly as we drove from vet to hospital and back home. She also took special care of Kaya and assisted in many ways as we went through this traumatic experience... giving us encouragement through the whole process of surgery and recovery. Kaya is happy and healed... and in no small part because of Jeri's prayers and support. We highly recommend Jeri as pet sitter. She will care for your dog as if it is her own.”
