Personalized care for your dog or cat - Baughman

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Baughman

“Katrina was great with communication and sending photos of our girl during her stay. We even had to extend her stay a night due to unforeseen circumstances and there was absolutely no issue with it. She loved playing in the back yard with the other dogs. Definitely bring her here again if we are back in town.”

“Kendra did an amazing job! Our pup was happy and healthy when we returned home (and slept like a baby after playing and having so much fun!). She kept in touch regularly while we were away and we could rest assured knowing Harlow was in great hands! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in future. Thank you, Kendra!”

“I wish I could give a 10 star! I am a helicopter dog parent. I will. Happily admit, I've left my dog with another lady who used to work with Rover who was excellent but I can say this without a doubt. My dog has never came home. So happy and energized realizing he had fun. He was exercised. He was spoiled with Amanda just like he is with me and that does my heart good. Amanda is my go-to regardless of the need. Thank you, Amanda!”

About: I am a breeder and I’m experienced with pets of all ages including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, attentive and will always treat your pet like my own. I currently work from home so I’m available throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles and lots of love! I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s normal routine including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime and plenty of attention and loving care.
“We were in town for a sporting event at the University of Cumberlands. Our Airbnb did not allow pets. Sarosh is conveniently located to the campus, so drop off and pick up were very easy. Sarosh was accommodating to our needs, took exceptional care of our Australian Shepherd (walks and picture updates), and is extremely responsive to texts. I highly recommend!”


About: I have been the first choice of many friends and family to care for their pets. Both in my home and in theirs. Just for an afternoon, for an entire vacation, and in sudden emergencies. I have two dogs and five cats, as well as a hobby bird farm. Lots of smells and cuddles to be had. I also am happy to stay in your home and care for your pet in their own comfort zone. My work is remote, and as long as you have wi-fi, I'm set up to be productive. I've cared for very old and too young rescues for both dogs and cats, including medication and funky feeding schedules. I've even helped socialize shy rescues and help normalize healthy potty habits. I work full time fully remote, with limited travel. I always keep my calendar up to date with availability and obligations. I live in a rural area, so stay overs are preferred over drop ins, just because of travel time. The pets come first! They rely on us for everything, so I'm always keeping an eye open for their needs. Sometimes it's a potty break, dinner, or their own space. We have an extra-large kennel we keep set up in the event someone needs it, and a small one we set up if someone needs a more enclosed space for comfort and safety. I love getting pictures of my cats when we leave on a trip, so I always reciprocate when I'm pet sitting for someone else. You will always know your pup is getting tummy rubs, or your Guinea pigs are getting their veggies at dinner time.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a little girl, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for many different types of pets and have always taken the time to research their individual needs so I could give them the best life possible. I have over 30 years of experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from small breeds to large, powerful dogs. I’m comfortable following established routines, providing plenty of attention and playtime, and adapting my approach to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I also have experience with senior pets and understand that they may need extra patience, a slower pace, and closer attention to their comfort and behavior. My own dog is Hemi, my Rottweiler and resident “big baby.” He loves giving hugs and even knows how to tilt his head on command! Having a large dog of my own has given me plenty of hands-on experience with the strength, energy, and wonderfully goofy personalities that often come with bigger breeds. When I care for your dog, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine, spend quality time playing or relaxing with them, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing. I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that makes it easy to plan pet care around my workday. I’m available for house-sitting every other week and can provide care before and after school as well as more flexible care on weekends and school breaks. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have the time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve, not just rush in and out. I know it takes a lot of trust to welcome someone into your home and leave a beloved pet in their care. As a teacher and longtime pet owner, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines, respect your home, and pay attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I’ll also send pictures and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Christine was an amazing! She was on time, diligent and professional. She also went the extra mile to make sure our cats were safe and happy. Even though they are normally quite shy, they warmed up to her immediately and the pictures she posted each day helped us feel comfortable that all was well.”


About: — About Me Since 2018 I have done in-home pet sitting professionally and I have loved animals of every kind for as long as I can remember. And I treat your pets the same way I would my six: with quality time, affection, and plenty of patience. The difference with a sitter like me is that I’m up for the challenge. I’m not just here for the “easy” ones — I believe every pet deserves a chance. (Ask how many times I’ve been bit or scratched! 🤣) I’ve researched training and positive reinforcement techniques, and I use that to provide the most gentle care to my pets and yours. Just like a child, their safety will always be first priority. — Your Time Away The sudden change in routine, environment, and distance can cause anxiety, stress, and temporary behavioral changes and this can even affect behavior once you return. After being gone for so long, sometimes even with a pet sitter, anxious or high-energy pets can become unusually restless, clingy, bark or meow excessively, act out, or even withdraw. This is usually temporary, but a real possibility. Because of this, daily drop-ins are something to consider if you haven’t already. Whether you’re gone for the day or just away at work, the companionship and structure is a game changer for misbehavior. — What I Offer They thrive on consistency, connection, and gentle correction so my goal is to maintain the routine and training/boundaries you’ve set in place while providing affection and entertainment. I’ll even stay with them when they’re ill, and I have experience with special needs and administering medications/injections. At work for 12 hours? Book a walk for that rowdy pup. Gone for a bit? That calls for a drop-in visit. Out of town for the day? Doggy daycare has your back. Vacationing for the week? House sitting will handle that. And who doesn’t love to come back to a tidy home? Ask me about a one-time clean so that you return feeling refreshed, relaxed, and ready to resume life. — Next Steps Just reach out! Don’t be shy with any questions or concerns. After, we’ll schedule a complimentary (within 25 miles) in-person meet-and-greet to touch base on needs, routine, training, and house rules. This is the perfect time to request a quote for cleaning and daily photos/updates. Thank you for reading and for considering me when you aren’t home. Meet ya later! 🐾😊
About: I love all animals. As you can see in my pictures I have been around many different animals. I have been around dogs, cats, Guinea pigs and hamsters, sharks, goats, birds, and horses. I believe that pets are part of the family and I believe all animals deserve to be well taken care of. While my apartment does not allow pets I am more than happy to pet sit at your place or just stop by for some attention, feeding, or walks. Pets are part of one’s family and I believe that should be treated as such. I am there to feed your pet and take it on walks as well as play with it and give it whatever kind of attention is needed.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Baughman

“I booked a stay with Katrina in advance of an out of town event where I had my dog along on the trip. It worked out very well with no last minute changes. My dog tends to be anxious in new situations but she stayed with Katrina and some of her young assistants and I think it was a safe & great afternoon for my dog. Thank you Katrina”

“Olive loved her time playing at Kendra’s home. She enjoyed her big, fenced in back yard. I was very comfortable leaving Olive for the day. I would highly recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Our Oliver absolutely loved his time here! They were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even helping us out on very short notice. We’ll definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for great care for their pets. They also have a fenced-in yard, so your fur babies are sure to have a great time playing and exploring!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Baughman
About: My mom has a pet sitting business and I became a pet sitter and trainer when I was in highschool! After highschool, I became a vet tech working during summer and winter breaks before I got accepted to vet school to become a veterinarian. I’m very comfortable taking your pups on walks but also taking care of your pets needs including medical needs! I’m currently on summer break as I’m a veterinary student so I have plenty of free time! I’m happy to take care of your pups walking needs while you’re at work or to take care of them while you’re out of town! Whatever you need I’m happy to accommodate! I would come to your home so your pets feel most comfortable in their normal environment! Whether they need crating, walks, meds or more, I’m happy to do what’s needed.
About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
