“Dallas and Isaiah took great care of my two dogs! I was updated throughout their stay along with pictures and videos. Ava and Phoenix were in good hands. I highly recommend.”
“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
“Dash just loves Carl and Linda. He always gets excited when we turn onto their street. They are always our #1 choice when finding a place for Dash to stay. Thank you Carl and Linda.”
“Excellent communication, fast response, great personality. Someone you can trust because she has sweet fur babies of her own that are well taken care of and my dog came home so happy! Last minute request was accepted when I was in a pinch and that is such a stress relief!!! Can’t thank you enough, Dee, enough for being there!!!”
“Nancy was awesome in supporting us by watching Milo during the holiday season. She was very understanding of his pickiness around food and accommodated him in every way. We received pictures of Milo daily, many of him running around the backyard with a big smile on his face. We even received a super sweet Christmas card with a picture of Milo when we picked him up. We would definitely book with Nancy & Gabriel again.”
“Colleen was great with my golden ! She watched her for a few hours while I had company at my house. She was patient with my bossy girl. Daisy didn’t want to leave !”
“My English Setter Chase was so well.looked after. He was happy and having so much fun that I am not sure he wanted to leave.!! Will definately go back again!”
About: Hi, I'm Lorraine! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I'm currently a proud pet mom to Winston, my loyal 8-year-old Chocolate Labrador; Bear, his mischievous 8-month-old Mini Dachshund brother; Sam, our curious 9-month-old cat; Theodore, our sweet 6-year-old bunny; and Tito, our 9-year-old feisty Green-Cheek Conure. Over the years, I've been fortunate to love many wonderful pets. I raised our beloved mastiff mix Bruno, from puppyhood through his senior years until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 16 years old. I've also cared for our two cats, Dolly and Mowgli, from kittens into adulthood. Beyond cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and birds, including my beautiful Blue Quaker Parrot, Mr. Grumbles. Most recently, I enjoyed running a small homestead where I cared for 25 chickens and 2 roosters, along with 22 hand-raised cheeky ducks. When you entrust your pets to my care, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they'll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own family pets. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and plenty of photos to help you feel connected to your furry (or feathered!) family members. Before any booking, I'd love to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet's routine and individual needs, and ensure their vacation is just as enjoyable as yours! The Kindred Pet Company LLC is fully licensed and insured. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because I care for my own pets every day. My mornings begin with feeding, walks, fresh water, cleaning litter trays and cages, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need before I start my day. Throughout the day, I make time for potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection, with usually an hour-long evening walks, feeding, and bedtime routines to finish the day. When I'm caring for your pet, I make them part of my routine too. I carefully follow their normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away, ensuring they receive the same love, patience, and attentive care that I give my own pets When dogs stay in my home, they'll be welcomed into a safe, loving environment alongside my two friendly, well-mannered dogs. I have a securely fenced backyard where they can enjoy supervised playtime, explore, and relax on the shaded porch. Daily exercise is an important part of our routine, so I walk my dogs twice a day through my gated community, always on a leash for their safety. For puppies and younger dogs who are still learning, I'm happy to reinforce basic commands and good manners using positive, consistent encouragement. I always follow your preferred routines and training methods to help maintain consistency. For drop-in visits, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so I can get to know you, your pet, and their normal routine. This gives us an opportunity to discuss feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions, ensuring your pet receives personalized care while you're away. Throughout each visit, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and regular photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind.
“Katelynn did a wonderful job with making sure our two dogs were happy and comfortable. She made sure to also send us pictures of our dogs while we were on our trip. ?”
“Susie was so great with Honey. I could tell Honey had a great time hanging out with her. She knows all about dogs, and is willing to share her knowledge. Id use her again in the future, for sure!”
“Jolene was great! Provided us with updates of Mack with photos which puts a pet owners mind at ease especially since we were gone for 10 days. She has other dogs so he got to play and became a part of their family for the time he was there. He may not want to come back because he doesn’t have furry friends to play with just us now. He also got to be on the couch so he was super spoiled. Highly recommend her and her family for your dog and we will definitely.be using her again.”
“Jonathan and his wife were great with my pup! They were very responsive, and I got some picture updates throughout the stay. They were also able to give my dog his meds, which isn’t always easy. One of their dogs and my dog were not best friends, but Jonathan and his wife made sure all the dogs were safe and had play time. 😊”
“Thanks a lot for looking after Max during our vacation at Cocoa Beach. Drop off and pick up was easy. Melissa sent us updates and pics throughout Max’s stay. Really enjoy it”
“From the very first meet and great we felt so comfortable with Jillian. Such a warm, comfortable environment. She has such a soothing presence. Dakota took right to her. We got wonderful updates and pictures all weekend. Highly recommend and we will absolutely be back.”
About: Social animal lover, former small dog owner, experienced pet caregiver, and current rescue volunteer, I provide dependable, compassionate care for pets of all personalities and needs. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My two-hour visits are structured as drop-ins tailored to your pet’s routine and can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. My goal is always to reduce stress for both pets and owners by providing calm, consistent care you can trust. (Service radius 4-5m) I also offer in-home (my home) boarding on a limited basis when it’s the right fit for your pet. My home is in a quiet community with a fenced yard, and I focus on creating a peaceful, comforting environment where animals can relax and feel secure. My bond with animals began early in life and has stayed with me ever since. From caring for cats and dogs of my own to volunteering with local shelters. If you’re looking for someone responsible, nurturing, and truly devoted to animals, I would be honored to care for your pet like family. Retired and available to love up all the furry friends. I have a reliable vehicle. I also have a pet booster seat for the smaller pets, recognizing the importance of their inability to have the same view as the larger dogs. Did you know? Small dogs can get vertigo in the back seat or in a lower view? It’s true! Looking forward to meeting your furry loves. Caring for pets in a client’s home is a very trusting requirement I do not take lightly. Every client deserves their furry child cared for and overall expectations for their sweet furry child exceptional. Every pet is unique in their wants and needs are important, getting to know pet parents helps aid in visual cues by both the owner and the pet upon that first meeting as well as interactions thereafter. I am also a pet portrait photographer and if your pet is photographed I will offer this as a complementary service to my current availability. I care for my pets very seriously. I have one dog who was rescued from a puppy mill, who is a special-needs pet and does require Special food due to allergies and has enjoyed a life of love, affection, medical care, compassion, and kindness throughout his 11 years. I have a lovely fenced in yard that allows for the furry friends to relax, play or nap in the shade. I have multiple pet beds and bowls available.

About: I'm a devoted cat lover and proud pet parent to three exotic cats…Rocket, Snarf, and Obie. They're all incredibly friendly, social, and love to cuddle, so caring for cats is part of my everyday life. I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they're playful, shy, or independent, and I'll make sure your feline companion receives the same patience, affection, and personalized care that my own cats enjoy. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away
“So thankful we found Megan. She was extremely helpful checking in on our cats while we were out of the country! Sweet and attentive, she made us feel confident that our babies would be safe and attended to while we were away.”
“Crystal did an awesome job caring for our furbabies and our house. She made sure they were cared for and loved. Cats make a mess and Crystal left the house so clean. She is dependable and went above and beyond to care for our cats and bunny.”
About: Aside from referencing my overall experience, I hold a special place in my heart for our often misunderstood feline friends. I have two cats of my own whom I love and care for dearly. Both have very different personalities and expectations from me. I love them all the same and I feel I have a good read on cats as well as dogs.
“Katie was fantastic, and her attentive service made me feel completely at ease and able to feel confident that my cat was safe and in good hands while I was out of town”
“Priya provided excellent care for my cat while I was out of town. Her attention to detail, thorough care, great communication, and flexibility made such a difference while being away. Prior to booking, she took the time to fully understand my cat’s needs, typical behaviors, and preferences. She provided consistent updates on my cat’s behaviors and feeding schedule and followed everything to plan, with photos. Arriving home, my cat showed no signs of anxiety and everything in my home was taken care of. I highly recommend her and look forward to utilizing her again, knowing my cat’s care is in great hands!”
“LeeAnn was very friendly and easy to work with. She took good care of my cat and her family made her feel welcome as well. Definitely would recommend her if you’re looking for a good sitter.”
About: I've owned cats since I was a child, but I first started working with them in a more professional setting when I started volunteering at the Hornell Humane Society. Since 2023 I've rescued 6 cats, and have successfully found loving homes for all of them. It all started with a young grey tabby cat named Katherine, who currently lives with my mothers partner. Last summer I rescued a litter of 5 kittens, 3 boys and 2 girls. I hand raised them from 4 weeks until I found them good homes. I currently own 2 cats, 2 girls named Juniper and Olive Oil! Both were adopted from the Hornell Humane Society in late 2024.
About: I have four dogs ranging from small to large. I got my first dog in 2018 and added on since. I’ve spent a lot of time training my dogs teaching them commands, going on walks and finding activities that are exercising their minds. I have two bunnies as well, if you know anything about bunnies, you know that they can sometimes be a lot of work. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I love all of my animals and I will love yours just as much as mine. I currently stay at home as I am focusing on college. This allows me to care for myself, my pets, and now your pets. I am available all hours of the day, for walking or drop in visits with your furry friends! I do not personally have pets that come to my house since I do have dogs and bunnies of my own. In your home I believe dogs are more comfortable in their own environment. Any instruction you give me on how to take care of your pet is going to be strictly followed. Every pet that I care for will get love will get enriching activities will get exercise taken on walks food and water, which is all very bare minimum for pet sitter.
About: Lifelong cat lover with over two years of professional experience in a veterinary clinic setting. By combining medical knowledge, including symptom tracking and medication administration, with a friendly attentive approach built from raising family pets and cat sitting for friends and family alike. I am committed to keeping your cats happy, healthy, and active while providing owners with absolute peace of mind.
About: I've been a devoted cat lover and pet parent for over 26 years, and caring for cats has been one of the greatest joys of my life. From playful kittens to senior cats, I've experienced every stage of feline life and understand that each cat has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. As a dedicated pet parent, I know how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where cats feel comfortable and secure. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoys quiet companionship, I'll respect their individual preferences and care for them with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. I treat every cat as if they were my own, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, clean litter, playtime, and, of course, lots of love. I'll also keep you connected while you're away with regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your feline family member is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands.
“My Yorkie is a rescue and he has stress/anxiety and separation issues. I had him only a few months when I began having Sarilyne coming to my house while I was working. Sarilyne was able to establish trust and security to my dog immediately. She is a very sweet, kind and patient and punctual person who I trust to come into my home to care for dog.”

“Shelly is wonderful, she really saved the day when we needed someone to watch Milo for the entire day at the last minute. Milo is very shy but Shelly took great care of him and he seemed to warm up very fast. Also Shelly’s home is doggy paradise!! A big screened sunroom for the dogs to relax and catch some rays and a huge fenced yard for them to run around in and take frequent potty breaks. Thanks Shelly!”

She is definitely one of my favorite pet sitters out there ?”

About: I provide personalized, attentive care and treat every pet like a member of my own family. With years 12 of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routine. I have experience caring for playful puppies who need extra supervision, frequent potty breaks, and consistency, as well as senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace, patience, and extra comfort. I’m also comfortable administering oral and injectable medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and on schedule. What sets me apart is the level of communication and care I provide. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, quick responses, and the peace of mind that your pet is being cared for in a safe, loving home. Pet care is a big part of our daily routine! My husband, Isaiah, works Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I bartend in the evenings from 4:00 PM until around 1:00 AM. Because of our opposite schedules, your dog receives plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home during the mornings and afternoons for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks before leaving for work, and Isaiah is home in the late afternoons and evenings to continue their care before I return home at night. We work together to make sure every dog stays on their normal routine with regular potty breaks, meals, exercise, and lots of love and attention. Our goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. My home is kept clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards to provide a safe environment. If I have multiple boarding dogs, I carefully consider each dog’s temperament and only accept pets that I know can safely coexist. If needed, dogs can be separated during meals, rest time, or whenever it’s in their best interest. I also provide regular photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and having fun while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and stress-free throughout the stay.

It’s so fun to learn each pets quirks and personalities. Pet care helps me get out and get my steps in. House (Day) Sitting: Since I have a fur baby and family of my own, I generally provide early morning-late evening services following your schedule. Of course, if your pet needs special attention, this can be accommodated for overnight care. Please disclose all indoor cameras. Boarding: For their safety and little piece of home, please bring your baby’s kennel/cage/carrier and something that smells like you along with food and water bowls.

About: Hi, I'm Lorraine! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I'm currently a proud pet mom to Winston, my loyal 8-year-old Chocolate Labrador; Bear, his mischievous 8-month-old Mini Dachshund brother; Sam, our curious 9-month-old cat; Theodore, our sweet 6-year-old bunny; and Tito, our 9-year-old feisty Green-Cheek Conure. Over the years, I've been fortunate to love many wonderful pets. I raised our beloved mastiff mix Bruno, from puppyhood through his senior years until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 16 years old. I've also cared for our two cats, Dolly and Mowgli, from kittens into adulthood. Beyond cats and dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and birds, including my beautiful Blue Quaker Parrot, Mr. Grumbles.

For puppies and younger dogs who are still learning, I'm happy to reinforce basic commands and good manners using positive, consistent encouragement.

Throughout each visit, I'll provide plenty of love, attention, and regular photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind.

“Lauren was a fantastic dogsitter for Maggie (50-60 Lb German shepherd mix). She has 2 dogs about Maggie’s size that were very friendly and played well with her. She was very accommodating to pickup and drop off times, and made sure to respond to messages quickly. She provided photos and videos throughout the 7 day stay to calm our nerves about our dog, and made sure that our dog felt very at home the whole time. I will absolutely use Lauren for any future dog sitting!”
“Excellent communication, fast response, great personality. Someone you can trust because she has sweet fur babies of her own that are well taken care of and my dog came home so happy! Last minute request was accepted when I was in a pinch and that is such a stress relief!!! Can’t thank you enough, Dee, enough for being there!!!”

“Katelynn did a wonderful job with making sure our two dogs were happy and comfortable. She made sure to also send us pictures of our dogs while we were on our trip. ?”
“Jolene was great! Provided us with updates of Mack with photos which puts a pet owners mind at ease especially since we were gone for 10 days. She has other dogs so he got to play and became a part of their family for the time he was there. He may not want to come back because he doesn’t have furry friends to play with just us now. He also got to be on the couch so he was super spoiled. Highly recommend her and her family for your dog and we will definitely.be using her again.”
“Jonathan and his wife were great with my pup! They were very responsive, and I got some picture updates throughout the stay. They were also able to give my dog his meds, which isn’t always easy. One of their dogs and my dog were not best friends, but Jonathan and his wife made sure all the dogs were safe and had play time. 😊”
“Thanks a lot for looking after Max during our vacation at Cocoa Beach. Drop off and pick up was easy. Melissa sent us updates and pics throughout Max’s stay. Really enjoy it”
“Anthony took care of our fur baby while we were on vacation for 11 days. He was communicative, kept us informed with messages and photos. The dog was well taken care of, and happy. Thank you Anthnoy.”

“I am so glad I chose Laura to watch my dog on my four day family trip. I had never left my girl with anyone other than family members before, and had no idea what to expect, and it ended up being so simple and more than just pleasant for myself and my furbaby. She was given the best treatment, was treated like my family treats her, maybe even better for those four days, and I got updates with pictures and videos everyday, which was so nice since I am a self proclaimed obsessive dog mom. I never had to worry from the start because Laura was so communicative. She got tons of walks and treats, was allowed to live in her house as apart of their home/family for that time, and quickly got comfortable, likely because of the welcoming calming energy Laura and her home has. My girl is well behaved but I know that Laura actively prevented any anxiety to the best of her ability which guaranteed her best behavior. I would choose Laura in a heartbeat to watch my dog again for any and all future trips! My Moon came home to me and seemed so calm and happy, and planning all of this was a breeze and I know you will have the same experience. Thank you Laura and family!”
“Mark was great with our dog. He made Bentley feel right at home. Mark was great with communication and flexible with timing of drop off and pick up. Will definitely use him again.”
“Susan and her daughter did a great job taking care of our dog, Nala. She listened to my concerns about Nala being somewhat of an escape artist and took them to heart. She kept a watchful eye and gave daily updates. I felt relieved knowing my dog is in such good hands. Sounds like she had a fun time, too. Thanks to you both! Would definitely board with you again.”
