Ms Sandy also was great with some of the senior dog issues Vixen sometimes has. Overall I felt extremely at ease with Vixen staying there and would definitely have her watch our dog again!”
“I was nervous about this. Leaving your fur baby with someone you don't really know. Well, I am beyond pleased. Robert and his family took wonderful care of our girl. They treated her like their own. I received updates daily. We will definitely have them keep our girl the next time we need a sitter for her.”
“We made plans for a short weekend trip and needed someone to keep our Bella for that time. Kenneth took care of her and we are overall satisfied with his service. He made all the necessary questions during the meet and greet, let us see his place and was very open answering all our questions. Bella came back home worn out after playing and running around his fence yard with the other dogs for two days. The real test will be her reaction when we take her again to Kenneth’s house, but I think she’ll be happy to go. Thank you!”
“Our family is sooo blessed to have met Mr. Willie and his team. They provided excellent service they proved amazing in all knowledge of dogs. I am a new dog owner and they reassured me of so much thank you for your care and valuable service. We will be using your services again.”

About: 🐐 The Pet & Farm Nanny: Constant Care & Custom Visits 🐾 Hi y’all! I’m Ariel. I offer a unique "Nanny" experience for your pets, whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home. I recently moved to Lebanon and love providing the reliable, heart-centered care that every animal deserves—from senior dogs needing meds to hobby farms needing a helping hand. How I can help: • At My Home (The "Workday" Companion): Since I work from home (10 AM – 7 PM), your pet will never be alone! I offer a cozy, attentive environment in my apartment for smaller dogs or cats who love constant human company. • At Your Home (Mornings & Weekends): I am available for early morning walks, drop-in feedings, and farm chores (milking goats, feeding horses, collecting eggs). I also offer Overnight House Sitting on weekends to keep your pets in their familiar routine! • Specialized Care: I am fully comfortable with senior pet care and administering oral medications. My Commitment to You: I stay within a 15-20 mile radius of Lebanon to ensure I’m always close by. You can expect high-quality communication, plenty of photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing a "Nanny" is looking after your family. Note: Due to my apartment setting, I am unable to offer puppy training/boarding, but I’m a pro at cuddles and routine! As a project coordinator working from home (10 AM – 7 PM), I’m the ultimate full-time companion! Your pet will have my company all day long while I’m at my desk. For house calls, walks, and farm chores, I’m an early bird and a weekend warrior! I’m available for drop-ins and farm visits before 9:30 AM or after 7:30 PM on weekdays, with completely open availability on Saturdays and Sundays for longer visits or weekend house-sitting. Safety is my top priority! When pets stay with me in my apartment, they enjoy a calm, pet-proofed environment with plenty of cozy spots to nap near my workspace. I’m a pro at maintaining strict routines, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule or administering essential medications for senior pets. I am an avid walker, so if your pup is with me, we will get plenty of exercise. When I’m at your home or farm, I’m hyper-vigilant about double-checking gate latches, ensuring fresh water troughs are full, and keeping a 'Nanny’s eye' on everything to make sure your home is as secure as your pets are happy!
“Robyn was great! Riley took to her right away, which is not common for him, and we felt very at ease with her taking care of our boy for a few hours. Looking forward to using her services again!”

I have worked in a pet boarding type facility in the past and carry much experience wrangling dogs of all sizes and in all group sizes, with all different types of personalities. I also have a dog and cat myself. My daily schedule involves me waking up and letting my dog out while preparing their breakfast. After they eat, we get some snuggles in until it’s time to go potty. Later on, it time for dinner and then a nightly walk 30 minutes to an hour after dinner has been served. That ends our adventure for the day! For Drop-Ins: I stop by for feedings and enrichment for between 30 minutes to an hour. I make sure they care squared away and everything is locked up before I leave. For Walks: It’s simple … we just go for walks. 30 minutes to an hour or whatever set path and time per appointment. For House-Sitting: I set a time for me to come over. I stay for the duration of the appointment set and bring my own necessities so that I don’t have to leave the premises. I stay within your home, where your babies are most comfortable, and provide them with company and a set schedule. Before I confirm a booking, I will ALWAYS set up a meet-and-greet. I need to be able to sit down with the fur-babies and parents so we can get a good view of the vibes and to see if I would be a good fit. These meet-and-greets are NOT OPTIONAL and refusal will result in a CANCELED BOOKING! Sitting should be a comfortable experience for pet, pet parent, and sitter. Checking the vibes and getting details is critical for success.
About: I treat every pet like they're my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm patient and attentive with puppies who are still learning routines, and I'm equally comfortable caring for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra care and attention. I believe in clear communication, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care, whether it's drop-in visits, walks, daycare, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to keep them on their normal routine as much as possible. This helps them feel comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and energy level so they receive the care and attention that's right for them. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise pets, and make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of affection. If your pet requires medication or extra care, I'm happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure their needs are met.
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals all my life. I am very much a dog person and love them like my own family. My favorite part is playing with them so that they sleep super soundly at night. I know how to teach your dog some tricks and show them a lot of love. I am extremely patient and have taught several dogs to be housebroken and how to sit, shake, and lay down. I have been dog sitting for others for a little over 6 years now. I am very confident in my abilities with dogs and how to handle them. I have been around them my whole life and know how important they are to everyone’s lives if cared for properly. I do currently work full time and am currently studying to take my Boards to become a licensed physical therapist. I am able to do mid day potty breaks if close enough to my work. Otherwise, I will make sure that your pet is well taken care of in the morning and evenings. I care for each dog/pet as if they were my own. I will love them, care for them, and tend to their needs as if they are my own family. I want to make every dog feel extremely loved through all the petting and playing that they can imagine and want.
About: I have lived/taken care of animals my whole life. Have taken care of dogs,cats,bunnies,lizards. I have two dogs at home that I care for and have trained. I work at a coffee shop in the morning/afternoons during the week but after noon my days are pretty open and am usually available anytime after that. I have a fenced in backyard and take my dogs on a walk 1-2 times a day. I follow whatever instructions are given and make sure the house is clean before leaving. When taking care of dogs will make sure to take them out every couple hrs.
About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.
About: Hello! I have owned all kind of animals throughout my entire life, including rabits, fish, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I’m a college student studying Biology Pre-Vet. I’ve also had previous dog walking and sitting experience as a Wag! Walker. I think that I have a true calling with pets. When I was just about 11 years old I would walk and care for my neighbors dog that was a huge Mastiff, and never thought anything of it. My mom always tells that story to people of how she almost had a heart attack when she saw my little self walking this giant dog. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes! I look forward to meeting and caring for your furry friend as well!
About: I have been taking care of different pets throughout my childhood as well as recently with several dog walking, and sitting experiences. My families house has several cats and dogs so I know my experience with them will be useful for other pets I sit. I am currently working part time but my job hours are flexible so I am able to switch around if offers come up last minute I have a fenced backyard to allow the dog maximum space to roam. I am not uptight on keeping them off couches due to me having hand me downs but will respect and follow any guidelines the parents have

Alyssa ensures since the very first moment to make feel you comfortable and with the security to leave Bubba in very good hands. She ensures as well to keep informed every day about how Bubba doing during the time with her. I really recommend Alyssa to take care of your best buddies. Thank you Alyssa and your family too, I will retake her service when needed.”
“Carri is a wonderful and loving sitter. She treated our dog like he was her own. She kept us informed daily and provided pictures. He loved staying with her. We will definitely book with her again.”
“This is the second time Tea stayed with Tyler and of course he had a blasted. I really appreciate how flexible Tyler was with my schedule when I had to change my drop off and pick up time multiple times. I would definitely recommend Tyler!”
“Adrienne is hands down the best! My dog Milo is always excited when we pull up to her place. He literally runs to her with his tail wagging like crazy! Milo is very picky and I find so much comfort knowing Adrienne is around. Sometimes I have short notice business trips and she is always willing to accommodate! The best :)”
“Dixie had a great stay. Cyndie and her family were so warm and welcoming and it is very clear how much they care for animals. They were wonderful and we will certainly use them again!”
“Melanie and James were fantastic with Jax! Jax made himself at home soon after my boyfriend and I left. Melanie and James are very personable people. We will definitely book with them again if/when the need arises.”
“This was a first for us and our dogs and it went extremely well. The pups are not used to going on a trip without us so we had a bit of boarding anxiety. Shoshanna is a total pro and managed them beautifully. We are grateful for this service and Shoshanna as a personal boarder. Thank you so much!”
“Overall, this couple were wonderful! My Benji had a great place to stay—their home is beautiful with plenty of safe yard space for him to run around. They were very responsive and kept us updated throughout his stay. I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Ariel was great at communicating and sending updates! This was Thor's second stay with her and I can tell he loved staying with her based on how excited he was to see her again at drop off.”
“She was amazing! I needed someone last minute and she was able to take Piper on short notice and was very responsive. She also sent me over a dozen photos a day. Definitely could enjoy my trip worry free knowing my dog was in good hands. Definitely will use Cindy again!”
“I was nervous about this. Leaving your fur baby with someone you don't really know. Well, I am beyond pleased. Robert and his family took wonderful care of our girl. They treated her like their own. I received updates daily. We will definitely have them keep our girl the next time we need a sitter for her.”
“We made plans for a short weekend trip and needed someone to keep our Bella for that time. Kenneth took care of her and we are overall satisfied with his service. He made all the necessary questions during the meet and greet, let us see his place and was very open answering all our questions. Bella came back home worn out after playing and running around his fence yard with the other dogs for two days. The real test will be her reaction when we take her again to Kenneth’s house, but I think she’ll be happy to go. Thank you!”
“Our family is sooo blessed to have met Mr. Willie and his team. They provided excellent service they proved amazing in all knowledge of dogs. I am a new dog owner and they reassured me of so much thank you for your care and valuable service. We will be using your services again.”
“Deborah was so great with our timid Luna! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever used (even including our friends and family, lol! 🫣). Deborah was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She sent multiple pictures of Luna each day, keeping us up to date with their activities and helping us feel like we weren’t so far away. Even though our booking was super last minute for the weekend, Deborah’s place was perfectly prepared for Luna’s stay. Her home is easy to find and located in a quiet residential neighborhood without through traffic. When we arrived for drop off, Deborah had made an adorable hand-decorated sign which she pinned on her front door welcoming us to “Luna’s Weekend Retreat”. 🌺 She welcomed us inside and I’ve never seen Luna take to a new place so quickly; she immediately made herself at home in the spa-like cloud bed which had been made fresh for her and lined with a curated selection of dog toys for her choosing. She didn’t even get up when we were leaving, which has never happened before at a drop off! We were put so at ease leaving Luna in Deborah’s care for the weekend, and we’re thrilled to receive pictures of their adventures exploring the neighborhood trail, getting brushes and pedicures, and just generally being loved and cared for as if Luna was Deborah’s own pupper to love and dote on. ❤️ Luna’s well behaved and easy to care for, but is also quietly anxious and afraid of loud noises. She is a rescued staffy and has “resting ASPCA face” much of the time, even with us, so I never blame a sitter for her expressions, but we can always tell from seeing her eyes, brows, and ears in photos how relaxed and comfortable she is, and Deborah was somehow able to put Luna at ease, even on 4th of July weekend with scary fireworks popping! We’re so grateful to have found Deborah as our new go to sitter. Now we’re going to have to make up and plan new trips just to give Luna a reason to get to go adventure and sleep over with her new friend! 🥰 Thanks endlessly, Deborah!”
“Our dog Cairo recently spent two weeks with Regina and he had the best time! He can be a little nervous in new environments, but Regina treated him as one of her own and he settled in so quickly. He had so much fun playing! We loved the pictures and updates about how he was doing. We're so thankful that we found Regina for when we need a sitter and we will most definitely be using her in the future!”

“We have been using Maggie and Michael for years now. Our dog loves their family and is always so excited to spend time with them. They take such great care of our dog when we’re gone for extended periods of time—they treat him like part of the family!”
“Our dogs had a blast. Their dog, Scout, warmed up to our lab mutt and goldendoodle. My dog is absolutely wiped out today from all the fun and big back yard romps. Patti send pictures daily and her whole family gave our pups love and cuddles all weekend. We will definitely use them again to watch our dogs. They’ve got a great setup for a cozy, familiar stay for dogs. Thank you so much for making our pups part of your family for the long weekend!”
