Lisa was phenomenal with my dad’s german shepherd and very spirited poodle. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. Lisa really cares and thanks to her we didn’t worry about them during our trip! Thank you so much Lisa!

About: My mom has worked as an assistant at a Vet Clinic for my whole life and I was always up there with her. I’ve done lots of volunteer work for them and I have wonderful experience with all kinds of animals. I have 2 pets of my own. My dog, kenai, and my cat, faline. I tend to my animals every need and make sure they are happy and healthy. I am very responsible, caring and I am willing to prove that to you and your pets. I am currently a college student, so I am available all day Friday-Sunday and weekdays will vary! Feel free to message and we could possibly work out our schedules. I also recommend to look over my prices before attempting to book! :) Unfortunately, I will not allow other pets to come to my home for safety precautions. I prefer to house sit your animals in a place where they are most comfortable. Leave me a list of all the specifics and I will make it my top priority to see to their needs.

About: I grew up on a farm and learned early in life how to care for a lot of different animals. We had several dogs, cats, cattle, horses and pigs going up. Over the years, I have cared for family and friends pets as they travel or vacation. I love animals, especially dogs. I always thought I would have gone into Veterinary Medicine. So, for the past many years I have rescued and rehome many animals. Update: My rescue dogs all have passed and I truly miss Gizmo, Lucky and Sweetie Pie. All of them were such gifts while they were here. Gizmo was a Shih Tzu and will always be my baby. I rescued at 3 months old. I truly believe he was a miracle sent to me. I had him for 12 years and every day was a blessing. He got an autoimmune disease and passed in 2018. I never had children so my dogs are my fur babies. I rescued another dog, Lucky. He passed in 2015. I actually had to put him down due to cancer. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I rescued Lucky when he was abandoned and everyone had given up on him. He was a shih Tzu too. Unfortunately, he had some health issues and was very aggressive with food. It took me at least a year to work with him on his aggression when others probably would have given up. He was my special needs dog. That is experience in itself when you take care of that kind of dog. I had to learn a lot of patience. He survive 5 years of a life that he probably would not have had if I hadn't taken him. He developed cancer at 11 years old. We did surgery to remove the tumors but he just wasn't strong enough to get better. I then started volunteering, fostering and helping other dogs find loving homes again. I felt like I was healing one day at a time. That is where I met Sweetie Pie. She has the personality that makes you laugh, even some little quirks that remind me of Lucky. I was just going to foster her but Gizmo fell in love with her and they are best friends. As you can see, I have quite the experience as well as administering meds, bathing and lots and lots of tender loving care. Update: Sweetie passed this passed April 2022 with bone cancer. One day she was running on the farm playing, the next she could barely walk. She wasn't sick at all and the vet said that this type of Cancer develops and spreads quickly. I work with Rover previously in Tennessee and had to move back to Mississippi in April 2021 to my families farm. The great things now, I have alot of land and places to walk and for dogs to run. I currently have another business that is flexible. I am able to work in to my schedule. I am able to work around my schedule to provide a great service for clients. All dogs are different. I try to do the same as a client would do in their home. Some may crate their animal for potty training or sleeping at night. I can do that. I have dogs who have their on space and bed so they know where their safe space is located. I am good about potty breaks and outside play time. As for client home visits and walks, clients usually leave instructions for their dogs habits and needs.

About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!

I am having trouble finding enough positive words to praise Hannah with the care of our cat! It was just one cat-but he’s spoiled and he damages things if he’s left alone for more than a night. We were gone longer than we’ve ever taken a vacation-11 days-and were very nervous. Hannah eased our minds, braved the frigid temps driving to our house, spent SUCH quality time with him (not just in to feed him and gone) went WAY above and beyond giving us more peace leaving our house too. We will travel now with so much more peace. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!

About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

About: I have been through a one on one dog training session and also continue to work with trainers to better communicate with our sweet friends. I have a flexible schedule which I make for myself. This means that I will be able to schedule time to visit with your pup. When introducing myself to a new pet I will allow the animal to approach me. I take things slow. I have learned yelling is not usually the best way to resolve an issue with dogs. Yelling is the dogs encouragement. Instead I approach with a calm demeanor. Through training I have learned that it's best to allow new dogs the chance to establish who is in charge while monitoring the pups' actions and interceding when the situation seems to be escalading. This said, I believe the best approach to introducing dogs is to make sure both dogs are leashed. In my own home, play time is supervised for a few minutes to make sure that both dogs are eager to play. If it seems like one is not up to playing then I will separate the dogs. I am firm but not mean. Just as you would with a child when I give a command I will stand firm in my command till it is obeyed. I immediately reward my dogs when the command has been followed. I definitely treat my dogs as my children. They get lots and lots of kisses, and are most definitely spoiled. I always try to do fun things with them like taking them for rides or going on hikes. They get birthday parties and specialty birthday cookies. They also get gifts for holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day. They go to the vet every year for their shots and examine. They get the medicine they need to keep them from heart worms and fleas. They also take supplements to help with their digestion and anxiety (both of my pups are rescues and have had some difficult experiences).

Maryann and Ronnie are both so sweet and caring! While they are a second sitter for us, we still love them just as much as our other! They both made sure I was kept up to date with snoopy and what he was doing and how he was doing. I also got plenty of pictures! Snoop got to play with their babies along with one of their regulars (which it was communicated their regular would be there) he came home and took a nap immediately! Would definitely reccomend them to anyone!

Absolutely perfect! When meeting with Hannah she was very polite and welcoming. She did a really good job at making sure her babies kept personal space with Snoopy and always watched them in the backyard. Communication was great and instructions on what she needed were very clear. She was so understanding when it came to my pickup time possibly changing due to my job. Hannah also made sure she asked all the important questions and was amazing with communication! I was nervous leaving my baby with someone new, but Hannah did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving Snoopy in her care. We will absolutely be using services anytime we need help! (Bonus points for sharing pictures even while I was at work)

About: I have a passion for training dogs, since I was 12, I've known that's what I want to do. Since I graduated high-school, I spent all of my time studying the best way to keep and train dogs. Some things I can do here include: training puppies, managing intact dogs male or female, dogs will be in the home with my family during the day and spend time in the yard with my pet dogs. I am open to dogs of any size! I don't work, so my undivided time will be spent with your dog, I will be the sole caretaker of the dog. While they are here, they will go on group walks with me and my dogs and join me for group play sessions with my dogs. I have a spacious yard with a fence, and am out in the country for any anxious furkids. I have several pets dog and cat, but can separate certain pets if needed! let me know and i can accommodate you! I crate pets at night unless you prefer they stay out! Dogs will have free access to water throughout the day and night. Feedings are scheduled according to you!

I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

About: Hi guys! I’ve been pet / house sitting for over 5 years now! I love animals and caring for them. The last client to leave a review I’ve actually been sitting his dogs over the past 3 years till they moved! I work your needs around my work schedule so I can usually work with just about anything. Plenty of love and play time to give your fur babies and references for you! I never take on jobs I don’t think I can handle! I’m very good at time management and fur babies are a high priority for me. I’m available for most types of jobs I try to make sure your pets feel at ease with a new person in their home! I can crate them if that’s what you prefer or let them be out and about. Always an eye on them when outside or on a leash. Other than that they spend their time playing and being loved on

About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet caregiver with a lifelong background caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple pets, different temperaments, and unique care needs. I also have several years of veterinary experience, which means I’m confident administering medications, monitoring health, and providing safe, attentive care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Currently I am a college student and I work at barktown part time when school is in and full time when school is out. So I do maintain a busy schedule, but always have time to stop in and love on your sweet fur babies! I have been around pets with a wide range of temperament. This means I know how to enter and exit your home safely if you have a fur baby who likes to run, I wake up daily at 6am to give my babies their breakfast and they get their dinner at 8pm. This also sets me up to be able to adapt to your feeding schedule for your babies. I also adore getting to know the anxious babies. Taking my time and letting them warm up to me is something I pride myself on. Theres something so rewarding about gaining their trust!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.

About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.

Meleah was GREAT. She sent updates and pics daily that help calm my nerves. My pup is a spoiled brat and she kept help happy, healthy, and well entertained. I will definitely use her again.

About: My mom has worked as an assistant at a Vet Clinic for my whole life and I was always up there with her. I’ve done lots of volunteer work for them and I have wonderful experience with all kinds of animals. I have 2 pets of my own. My dog, kenai, and my cat, faline. I tend to my animals every need and make sure they are happy and healthy. I am very responsible, caring and I am willing to prove that to you and your pets. I am currently a college student, so I am available all day Friday-Sunday and weekdays will vary! Feel free to message and we could possibly work out our schedules. I also recommend to look over my prices before attempting to book! :) Unfortunately, I will not allow other pets to come to my home for safety precautions. I prefer to house sit your animals in a place where they are most comfortable. Leave me a list of all the specifics and I will make it my top priority to see to their needs.

About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!
