“Elizabeth did another incredible job with my pets! She took my dog on special outings, after checking with me to make sure I was good with it, which I totally was because I trust her. And, she sent me pictures throughout the weekend and just truly loved on my pets! Will definitely book her again!”

“Landyn did a great job taking care of our five while we were out of town this week. She communicated with me well and took our concerns and crazy dogs on. We appreciate her so much.”

“Kyra is amazing! I used her for a two week long trip and didn’t have to worry about a thing. She left cat videos on as enrichment for my kitties and made more frozen enrichment treats for my dog. She let all of them sleep with her. I definitely recommend and will be booking again!”

“Alexandria was absolutely amazing with Georgie! She followed all instructions perfectly, took Georgie for a nice walk, and kept him great company. She also sent me updates, which gave me real peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Alexandria to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Paula was great keeping our small dog in our home. She sent pictures daily and from her comments I could tell she liked our dog and was having fun with him. She also left the house in great shape. I will definitely use her again!”

“Mary Ashley did a great job looking after my 5 dogs for a week while I was out of town. I’m pretty sure they thought she was their new mama. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after them again. She is responsible, patient and caring. The dogs loved her and everyone was relaxed, happy and well taken care of. All in all a fantastic pet/house sitter.”

“Jana is fantastic. She made our boy feel safe and happy while we were away. Our boy is a rescue and he takes time to trust people but Jana won him over quickly. This was our first experience working with a house sitter for our spoiled little boy. I must say it was a very positive experience thanks to Jana. Our trip was much more enjoyable due to the comfort we felt having Jana at our home. I know we will request her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who cares for their furry family.”

“Jeffery did a great job with my cat! I hired him for a short house-sitting stint and he did quite well. Cinnamon seemed to get along well with him, and he took care of her feeding schedule expertly. The extra tasks I needed (bring in mail, set the faucets dripping for the freezer warning, etc.) were handled. Everything was in order when I came home, as far as I can tell. I definitely plan on turning to him for his help if I need it again in the future!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was little. I am very passionate about their care and love to spend time with them. I grew up in an area that had a lot of stray cats and dogs so a lot of my childhood was spent playing with them and trying to help them as much as I could. I’ve done all of the basic care such as walking, playing, cuddling, feeding, grooming, litter box changes and etc for years. For some speciality skills, I have taken care of pets who require administered supplements and eye drops, I have worked with fear-aggressive dogs before, I am experienced in caring for fish and small animals, and I have horse experience. I am a full time student with mainly online classes at the moment so my schedule is flexible. I am happy to work with you on scheduling. I am available for dog-walking, I’d love to go on adventures with your furry friend. In home drop-in visits are good for me too. I also have experience house/pet sitting and enjoy keeping a home clean.

About: Hi there! I have over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. From cats and dogs to rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, chickens, mice, and even fish, I’ve had the pleasure of providing a safe and loving environment for a wide range of pets. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I’m here to offer the reliable, compassionate care they deserve while you’re away. I am currently working multiple part-time jobs but my main title is MOM. This affords me a flexible schedule. I also have a 16 year old daughter that is homeschooled who is an animal lover and has pet-sitting experience that can assist me!

About: I managed a dog shelter for many years and have taken in as many as 35 dogs at a time just to keep them from being put to sleep. That was back when I lived on a farm. These days, I have just one dog and a peaceful home environment. My home is smoke-free with a fenced backyard and a doggie door, so your pet will have a safe place to play. I live in a private, gated neighborhood. If you want your dog crate-trained or kennel-trained, I can help with that—my pup loves doggie company! I offer personalized care and can provide any service you need for your pet. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, raccoons, horses, donkeys, cows, parrots, and even bottle-fed deer, possums, and squirrels. You won’t find anyone who loves animals more! Your time is my time! I’m here for you—whether you need care for your pets or farm while you’re away for the day or on vacation.

Depending on the length of the stay, I’m happy to help with training as well. I’m a full-time realtor with a flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the time. I may occasionally need to step out to show a house, but your pup will still get plenty of attention and care. I’m available for boarding anytime, including weekdays and weekends! Your pet will be cared for in a safe, smoke-free home with a fenced backyard and a doggie door for easy outdoor access. I have one sweet, friendly dog who enjoys company. I’m home most of the day and follow your instructions closely. Crating is no problem if needed—I want your dog to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I've fostered dogs for six years and I have been a volunteer at CARAA since I was ten. I've handled all types of dogs with different tempers, although I prefer dogs who aren't escape artists (my backyard is large and fenced in but I live next to a busy road.) Always available for your furry friend! I am currently employed at The Bank by Pizza Shack, and I take classes at MC. I am available mid days on week days, some week nights, every Friday, and most of the time on weekends. I have a big fenced in backyard to run around in, I live next to the clinton dog park, and I don't have any carpets in my home so any accidents are easy to clean.
