Personalized care for your dog or cat - Girdler

“Billie was well cared for and happy when I came to get her. I didn’t hear much about how it was going/went but I trusted she was in good hands. Katrina was flexible with pick up/drop off which I appreciated!”

“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!”

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.

“Amanda took exceptional care of my 14-year-old Labradoodle, Buddha, while I was away for a week-long retreat. As any senior dog owner knows, leaving an aging companion behind can be stressful. Buddha has significant hip issues and requires patience, attentiveness, and a calm environment. Amanda exceeded every expectation. From the moment I dropped him off, she treated him as if he were her own. She sent thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that clearly showed he was comfortable, relaxed, and receiving plenty of affection. Seeing him peacefully exploring her yard, resting comfortably, and settling in so well gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. What impressed me most was not just her professionalism, but her genuine warmth and love for animals. It was obvious that Buddha felt safe, cared for, and completely at home with her. I would trust Amanda with Buddha again without hesitation, and that is about the highest recommendation I can give. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, communicative, compassionate, and truly devoted to the well-being of the dogs in her care, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone better. Thank you, Amanda, for taking such wonderful care of my best friend.”

“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 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.

“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”

Katherine N.

“Kendra was great with Leroy, flexible with us, and a wonderful communicator. Leroy was tired after playing the 6-7 hours in great hands for day care. We'd gladly have him go there again if in the area. Thank you!”

“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!”

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.
