“I could not have asked for a better sitter. Ionna was amazing with communication, timeliness, and worked with me every step of the way. We had a brand new puppy and Ionna let me whole family come back the next day so they could meet her. She was so nice and caring for my babies and I will definitely be using her again next time i’m in Florence!!”

About: I have always been drawn to animals. Since I was a little girl, I've cared for all types of animals, except spiders and snakes!! I have trained a boxer/blue heeler, mini pinscher, poodle, and jack russells. Senior dogs have also been in my care. I also enjoy walking dogs. My daily schedule is flexible because I am caring for my disabled child, who also loves animals. I would be open to weekly and weekend availability. I am reliable, respectful, trustworthy, and professional. Safety is my 1st concern and I would care for your fur babies as though they are my own.
About: I have taken care of my own personal dog since I was 8 years old, I bought her with my birthday money and she has been my best friend ever since. I’ve always had a love for animals and have dog sat a lot more in the recent years. I also have a cat I adopted several years ago that lives with me. I have experience administering medications and working with senior dogs, puppies, kittens etc. I also worked in a doggy daycare and got a lot of experience working there. I work from home, so my weekly schedule is very open and flexible. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whatever you need or want me to do no matter how absurd you think it seems, I do not mind doing it if it helps your fur baby feel at home. I want your fur babies to feel comfortable with me and I want you to feel comfortable too.

“I highly recommend Olivia! She is reliable, responsible, and truly kind. She followed all the instructions, kept me updated, and took great care of both my cat and my home. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Most importantly, my cat loves her! She clearly cares about animals and takes the time to build trust with them. Knowing my cat was happy and well cared for made all the difference. I feel lucky to have found such a dependable and caring cat sitter. I will definitely book her again in the future!”

“Ionna was great at communicating with me before booking and the morning of. She even took my pup on a ride, which she loves! Harley seemed very happy when I picked her up. Recently moved to the area so it is great to find a sitter that we can trust.”

“Emily took care of our dog, Hazel Grace, at her home, and we couldn’t be more pleased! She was attentive and caring, making Hazel feel comfortable from the start. What really set Emily apart was her thoughtful communication—she sent regular pictures and updates throughout Hazel’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Hazel looked happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear she was in a safe and loving environment. We highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring dog sitter!”

About: With over a decade of experience in animal care, I’ve had the joy of working with everything from dogs and puppies to exotic animals like monkeys and tigers. I’ve also owned and operated a professional dog kennel, where I provided exceptional boarding services and made every pet feel like part of the family. My true passion is creating joyful, fulfilling experiences for the pets in my care. Whether it’s taking extra time for those long, joyful sniffs and grass rolls, cuddling on the couch, or playing their favorite game, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, enriched, and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. Always been a different kind of love. I still have my childhood cat and got my dog 5 years ago. They are my everything.

We live in order around here! I would do the same for in you’re home! You and your animals needs will be met.
“So glad we found her! She kept us in the loop the whole time and eased our worries. The pics of our pup were awesome, too! Definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Would use her again for sure. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.
About: I have been raised alongside animals all my life. I've had dogs for as long as I remember ranging from pitbulls to great danes, and from chihuahuas to jack russells. I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a parent and a pet owner myself, our home is always filled with love and structure. We specialize in boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits, so your pup will instantly become a part of our routine. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a massive open field perfect for leashed exploration, long-line fetch, and active outdoor time! Whether socializing with my dog, playing with my child, or running in the field, your pup will be safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a working parent who is also in school, our home operates on a reliable, structured routine built around my baby's schedule and my daily commitments. My school schedule is about to become much busier, I am highly focused on managing my time effectively. Please note that I may not always be able to respond to text messages immediately while I am in class or focused on work, but I will always check in and provide updates as soon as I am free! Because our days are busy, your pup will get a highly active experience—on days when I am completely washed with school or work activities, I often bring my guest pets along with me so they get extra socialization, stimulation, and real-world fun! My Care Standards: Boarding & Daycare (In My Home): Guest pets enjoy supervised playtime with my dog, kid-friendly interactions, and leashed outdoor exercise in our large open field. All guest dogs must be friendly with children and other pets. House Sitting (In Your Home): My house sitting service is primarily an overnight stay focused on evening companionship and morning routines, supplemented by a reliable midday check-in rather than constant 24/7 care.

About: I have always been around and taken care of animals ever since I was young. I volunteer twice a week at a farm. I have nursed a crow, a chimminey swift, puppies, and even senior dogs. I have a completers certification for agriculture and animal science. I work part time so I have a very open schedule. Tuesday and Thursday mornings I work at a horse farm. Every other day I’m with my own Dogs. I would prefer caring for your pet at your house. My dogs aren’t accustomed to other animals and I’d rather not take your pet out of their place of comfort.
About: I have pets of my own, I have a yorky(chase), and I have 2 cats of my own. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and senior dog care, I’m comfortable with everything, slow-paced walks, making sure your dog eats the right diet. Beyond just walking, I focus on enrichment & providing mental stimulation, affection, and routine to keep your dog happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine.

About: I’ve been around dogs/cats since i was able to walk, I absolutely adore any animal i cross paths with because they show nothing but unconditional love. When family members/friends/coworkers take vacations etc I am always the first to be asked because they know i will give their fur baby the best care while they are away. I’m a 911 dispatcher & tend to have days off during the week/weekends. I can be found helping tend to puppies with my dad, which can be quoted the handful, hanging out with his outside kitty’s or being a couch potato with my roomies dog at home. My dog Athena is 4 yrs old, she is kennel trained, potty trained & knows all the basic commands, along with being the best dog anyone could ask for. A lot of people say it but my animals are quite literally my entire world, so if the opportunity ever arose where someone trusted me to watch their animals, i wouldn’t hesitate to show the sweet babies so much love & care!
