Highly-rated overnight sitters - Abernathy
“Kristie is the best! My dogs are very particular and have never been away from me! She sent pictures and videos of the happy and playing and even laying with her in bed! I would 100% recommend her for babysitting your fur babies! She is AMAZING !!!”
“If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your dogs like they’re his own, James is absolutely the one. From the moment we connected, he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to my dogs as well. He kept in touch the entire time, sending updates that gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does because my dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. His setup is beautiful—plenty of safe, comfortable space indoors and outdoors for the dogs to enjoy. It honestly felt more like a little vacation for them than just boarding. I will be booking with James again and again—honestly, even when I don’t need boarding, just so my dogs can have a fun getaway with someone they love and trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Omggg 10/10. Very convenient and helpful. Ariana was able to take my Flossy on a late night when I had an unexpected trip. Ariana was able to accommodate and modify the booking with my weird schedule. She listened to her food needs & informed me everything going on with her & updates either pictures. Definitely see us booking again in the near future if need be.”
“Karmen is a great sitter. Will definitely use her again She keeps you updated with pictures and texts to let you know how your pet (family member) is doing and that makes me feel better when I have to leave her. My dog is sometimes shy around new people but immediately took to Karmen on first visit. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”
“Cassandra was amazing with my dog. She provided constant updates and communication, and she also sent me a picture everyday which I loved. Love the fact that she has a fenced in backyard so he could run around and still give me a piece of mind. All in all, 5-star option here with Cassandra, and I’d trust her with any pet! We’ll definitely be back soon :)”
“Very sweet young lady and very attentive to my dog. My dog seemed to be very excited the whole time and was exhausted once I brought him home so it was obvious he'd been playing hard and having lots of fun. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again”
“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“I've booked my Sebastian twice with Erica and I can tell from the many pics she sends that he and his sister are having a great time. They even came home with some personalized swag from their last stay. I'll be booking with her again.”
“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”
“Our dog Spirit had a wonderful time with Cheryl and Gary they treated her just like she was theirs. They have a huge yard for plenty of exercise and play space. They were wonderful to work and communicate with. We will definitely call on them again.”
“Gabi was amazing to our dogs moose and Stella. She checked in with us daily and sent pictures of them. She took them on a walk. They came home tired and happy. We will definitely use her again!”
“Our pup was very well taken care of. She communicated regularly, send us photos and videos of playtime, and was able to drop him back off at our house after the visit, which worked great for us.”

“Dana was amazing!!!! She checked in on time everyday, and sent lots of pics. I could tell Nala was happy and in good hands. Dana is my first choice when I need someone to care form my pets.”
“Sebastian took exceptional care of my three Rottweilers while I was away. He is fantastic with large breeds and handled all three of my babies with patience, confidence, and genuine care. He administered medications with ease, cleaned up after accidents without hesitation, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. One of the things I appreciated most was the daily pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with large dogs, but Sebastian exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and knowledgeable pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with him again!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Brisa did an excellent job stopping in on my 4 cats while I was out of town. She was communicative and friendly, and my cats loved her from the jump. You can tell she genuinely has a heart for animals. Brisa made sure my older cats got some TLC and my kitten got some quality playtime. I came home to happy, calm cats. I will absolutely use Brisa again in the future, and recommend her to anyone for loving your pets almost as much as you do :)”

I am currently looking into going back to college. My availability would change due to classes, but I would try to make any current arrangements still work. I understand that your pet(s) may be used to a certain routine. Mine always have been. I will ask you about their day to day before booking your request and let you know if it's something that works with my schedule. If your pets need 24/7 care, I do need to know at least two weeks in advance.
About: I remember taking care of cats since I was a child. On the farm, in the house, strays, and all of the above. Cats are unique in their own way. Some want to be independent and others want to be with you 24/7. I will care for your cats like they are family.

I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Hans. We immediately felt like he was welcomed into your home! Your daily reports and pictures helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Hans was having a great vacation of his own. We can tell that you guys are dog people because of the great care that Hans received. In the future, we won't have to worry about leaving town because we know that Hans will be in awesome hands. Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I have experience with all breeds and sizes, and I take the time to get to know each one—their personality, routines, and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, or more laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and playtime throughout the day.

I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide—so they feel secure and at ease. I have a fenced in yard and several kennels of all sizes available. My goal is to make your pets stay as comfortable and stress free as possible.

I have a fenced-in backyard but also an acre of unfenced yard that I use to walk dogs on leash. It's a great place for dogs to go and explore new smells.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels—including senior pups—I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, accommodating special routines, and offering the extra patience and gentleness that older dogs often need.

Our home is kid-friendly, calm, and welcoming—perfect for dogs who enjoy gentle companionship. I have one sweet, well-behaved female beagle who gets along great with other dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and walking needs.

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a young child! Even when I was barely four feet tall, I delighted in taking care of, feeding, walking, and of course playing with our pups! And now as an adult, I have 2 rescue dogs that I have trained up and loved on (one a senior dog and one a puppy). Caring for dogs truly gives me joy and allows me to pour into others and give back.

About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
About: I have worked many years in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I can work with the newest puppy members or the senior fur baby.

I'm near many walking trails to stretch our legs or many cozy places for the fur babies to cuddle up and take a nap. I have many toys and space for play, I can accommodate crates or other needed accessories to help your fur baby and create that home away from home feeling. I have oncle cat that has been raised around cats, dogs, children, and other small animals, he's friendly with everyone. I can do overnights or drop ins for those unexpected life moments. I'm near many parks and trails so your fur baby would get the exercise they need.

I treat each one with kindness, respect, and patience. I have been a nurse for the past 15 years, bringing professionalism, dependability, and attention to detail into everything I do.

From large and small dogs, farm animals, and small pets like rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils. —I provide calm, consistent, and loving care you can trust. I help busy families and professionals take care of their pets when they are at work or away on vacation. I give loving care while you’re not there.

About: It’s Haley J. here, and I am a pet enthusiast! I adore all animals and feel as if they should all be treated with the most love and care as possible. Just as if you were dropping your kiddos off for daycare, I can guarantee your pets will be in the safest, loving hands at my watch. I have lots of experience with pet sitting/boarding. Starting at only 15, my first job was walking all of the dogs in my neighborhood for my neighbors. Word spread, that then lead to me pet sitting almost every weekend! As I have gotten older, I have kept this as a side hobby and it is truly something that brings me so much joy. My favorite weekends are the ones spent sitting fur babies! I would be more than delighted to take care of all your pet sitting needs. Thank you for your time and I hope you can consider me while making your decision.
About: I have experience caring for pets through helping family and friends with walking, feeding, and overnight care. In addition, I work in hospitality at a pet-friendly hotel, where I regularly interact with guest pets in a professional setting. When appropriate and with owner permission, I provide treats and assist guests with pet-related needs such as waste bags and general support to ensure a comfortable stay. These interactions have helped me become very comfortable around dogs of different sizes and temperaments. Through both personal and professional experience, I’ve learned the importance of being responsible, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy dedicating time in making sure pets are happy, healthy, and cared for. I am very organized and flexible, so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their owners! I am very dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for those I care for. I strictly comply with the pet owner's specific guidance when feeding, exercising, or taking care of any particular needs. I make it easy for pets in a their owners home to feel like themselves by keeping them on schedule, giving them companionship, and providing regular updates. Safety and comfort are priorities, and I'm always attentive to their needs!

“Kristie is the best! My dogs are very particular and have never been away from me! She sent pictures and videos of the happy and playing and even laying with her in bed! I would 100% recommend her for babysitting your fur babies! She is AMAZING !!!”
“If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your dogs like they’re his own, James is absolutely the one. From the moment we connected, he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to my dogs as well. He kept in touch the entire time, sending updates that gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does because my dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. His setup is beautiful—plenty of safe, comfortable space indoors and outdoors for the dogs to enjoy. It honestly felt more like a little vacation for them than just boarding. I will be booking with James again and again—honestly, even when I don’t need boarding, just so my dogs can have a fun getaway with someone they love and trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Omggg 10/10. Very convenient and helpful. Ariana was able to take my Flossy on a late night when I had an unexpected trip. Ariana was able to accommodate and modify the booking with my weird schedule. She listened to her food needs & informed me everything going on with her & updates either pictures. Definitely see us booking again in the near future if need be.”
“Karmen is a great sitter. Will definitely use her again She keeps you updated with pictures and texts to let you know how your pet (family member) is doing and that makes me feel better when I have to leave her. My dog is sometimes shy around new people but immediately took to Karmen on first visit. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”
“Very sweet young lady and very attentive to my dog. My dog seemed to be very excited the whole time and was exhausted once I brought him home so it was obvious he'd been playing hard and having lots of fun. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again”
“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“I've booked my Sebastian twice with Erica and I can tell from the many pics she sends that he and his sister are having a great time. They even came home with some personalized swag from their last stay. I'll be booking with her again.”
“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”
“Our dog Spirit had a wonderful time with Cheryl and Gary they treated her just like she was theirs. They have a huge yard for plenty of exercise and play space. They were wonderful to work and communicate with. We will definitely call on them again.”
“Gabi was amazing to our dogs moose and Stella. She checked in with us daily and sent pictures of them. She took them on a walk. They came home tired and happy. We will definitely use her again!”
“Our pup was very well taken care of. She communicated regularly, send us photos and videos of playtime, and was able to drop him back off at our house after the visit, which worked great for us.”

About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
