“Erika & Erik were excellent sitters. They took great care of our pit mix, were very attentive to his needs, and their home was a lovely environment for him with a fenced in yard. Sent picture updates everyday!”
“I am very appreciative of Emmet. He went above and beyond and took care of Bella. We were updated with Bella pictures while we were in trip. Definitely a great experience. I would recommend Emmet to all needing a wonderful place to board their dog…”
“Matt, Candace, and family are terrific! Our pup Laila was well cared for and loved. She was exhausted when she got home telling us how much fun she had. We are very happy to have found such a wonderful family to care for Laila when we need to travel.”
“Our two dogs LOVED staying at Michelle's puppy paradise! The dogs have inside areas and a huge outdoor play yard to run around in We are new to the Franklin area and so happy to find her. We will definitely be booking again in the future”
“I cannot say enough good things about Amber & Lavar! I’ve never used this app and this is my first dog so I was hesitant as I’ve only ever left my dog at a kennel. I really wanted him to stay somewhere where I knew he’d get some love and attention. Amber & Lavar made me feel so at ease and comfortable at the meet & greet. My dog took an instant liking to both of them and I knew he was in good hands. I was out of the country and they were so great about sending me updates and photos. They were also extremely kind and accommodating when I had flight delays on my travels home. Their home is lovely with open space and a wonderful back yard for a dog. I would highly recommend them and I will for sure be using them again.”
“Absolutely astoundingly wonderful. She is knowledgeable, caring, and even with our diabetic sr. And highly active 15 mo old pup and we can’t say enough about her care of our beloved labs. Words are not enough. She’s our woman long into the future. Thank you, Alexa!”
“What a wonderful sitter. Amanda was so caring and kind to my babies all weekend. I got a lot of pictures and videos too. It made my weekend away better knowing they were in good hands.”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful about communicating and sending updates about my dog. I feel confident she was well loved and was taken to the dog park to get her energy out. It was a relief to my husband and I knowing she was having fun and she was safe while we were on vacation.”
“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”
“Alexander was amazing! He gave frequent updates, lots of pictures and my golden, Scout had a blast with his golden, Archie! Will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Once again! I can’t say enough great things about Melissa. Our dog loves to visit and play with her dogs. I always feel like he’s knowing that she’s taken care of and having fun!”
“Cody was great. He’s very welcoming from the beginning which eased the transition at first. He provided daily updates. I was at ease knowing my pup was with him. Highly recommend! He kept my doggy for more than a week.”
“Jennifer (and her husband) were very welcoming, accommodating and accepting when we first met in their home. My daughter, who just turned fourteen and is usually shy with strangers, felt very comfortable meeting them. As for our Yuki, he felt right at home and began exploring and making friends with their pup as well. I received photos that showed our puppy happy and playful. He was well taken care of and I would gladly use Jennifer’s services again! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home where your pet will be loved and well taken care of!”
“Carrie was so incredibly accommodating my pup and our last minute booking request! She was able to fit in a meet & greet and kept me updated the entire time I was away. Will absolutely be using Carrie again!”

“Abby was absolutely fantastic! She was prompt with every check in and sent photos. She made sure our fur babies were well taken care of while we were gone. Highly recommend Abby!!!”
“Kay was awesome! She took great care of our 2 kitties Oreo and Pepe while we were away this week. We are so glad we found her to help us as we are new to Columbia and do not really know anyone here yet. She was very responsible, punctual, trustworthy and will def use her again in the future when we travel. We highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. Thanks again Kay! 🙏😽”
“Carrie is the best. She came at the last minute and helped us in a bind. She loved on our 2 cats and communicated extremely well!! I will hire her again. Highly recommend her!!”
“Haley is our go to sitter for our animals. She is kind, communicative, and adaptable. Will continue to use her in the future for our dog/car/fish needs. Highly recommend Haley!”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs. She had great communication, always provided pictures and updates, and took extra special care. We would highly recommend her as she goes above and beyond to care for your animals as if they are her own.”
“Thank you so much for stepping in on short notice! I felt confident after talking with you that everything was going to be alright since we were out of state with very little time to vet our dog sitter! Thank you!”
“Leah jumped right in to cat sit when we couldn't find a sitter at a busy time around the holidays. She was always on time and communicated with us often with pictures. Leah did an outstanding job and hope she can cat-sit again for us!”
About: In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience watching cats for family and friends. I am comfortable providing feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I will follow their routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away.
“Jemma was a great cat sitter, even though she never got to see Rascal as he is very shy, so he always hides when someone comes to visit. But Jemma did everything I asked her to do. Rascal was well taken care of.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Meghan. We got to meet her for a face to face walk through before our trip and we both were instantly comfortable with her. We told her the cats were uncomfortable with new people and not to be surprised if they didn’t come out much, but from her very first visit, she sent us tons of pictures of them all swarming around her for pets. I was shocked how quickly they accepted her and welcomed her into the house. Communication was excellent at each visit and she went above and beyond not just to do what we asked but to actually take the time to love on each of the cats and even play with them with some of their favorite cat toys and give them treats. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely reach out to her again for all our future trips out of town. She was a perfect fit and when we got home, the house was in perfect order and our babies were all super happy! Meghan is definitely a 5 star sitter. You and your babies will love her!”
“Kurstin was absolutely amazing. She sent pictures every day, and she provided detailed updates. Kurstin followed the instructions for Ginny's care and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Kustin and would use her again”

About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me.

I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.
About: I have been practicing the fine art of cat whispering since 2018. Currently, I live with two adorable kitties. My love for felines borders on magical—I speak fluent "meow," chat with every single neighborhood cat I meet on the street, and keep a secret emergency stash of dream-treats in my car just in case a furry friend appears! ** Cats are creatures of habit and magic. I match your exact daily routine down to the minute so your cat feels like nothing changed. ** I specialize in extended stays! I provide consistent, loving companionship so your kitty never feels lonely while you explore the world. ** If your cat needs daily medications or supplements, I administer them with zero stress and maximum patience. From energetic kitten zoomies to senior cats who just want to nap in a sunbeam, I read feline body language instantly and always respect their boundaries.Every visit includes meticulously scooped litter boxes, fresh food/water potions, and a magical photoshoot of your kitty sent directly to your phone. 🔮 Whether you need me for a quick daily drop in, a weekend or a month, your familiar is safe in my hands!
“Rayana was great. She sent me tons of pics and kept me updated via text while she watched my kitties. She was comfortable with a hybrid schedule of overnight/drop-ins. I highly recommend her.”

“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”
“Fantastic!! They were SO good with our skittish dog, and were super communicative. We were coming from out of town on a family emergency, and were able to book with Erik at the last minute. We are so grateful for their five-star treatment of our pup while we spent time with loved ones.”
About: Hi, I’m Carrie! 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. For over 2 years I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating every pet like family. Currently, I’m home full-time caring for my sweet senior dog, Sophia (15 years old, living with Cushing’s Disease). Making sure she is comfortable and loved has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. Because I’m at home, I can dedicate all the time and attention your dog deserves. Here’s what you can expect when your pet stays with me: Lots of love & attention – every pet is treated like my own family. No crating (unless required by you or for very brief times when I must step out). Safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Experience with senior and special-needs dogs who may require extra patience and care. Regular updates & photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the same quality of care I give my own beloved Sophia. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. ❤️ I'm currently out of work to care for my senior girl, Sophia, that has had some complications with Cushing's Disease. Your pet will be under my full-time loving care at my home, or in your home. I offer both services. Your pet will only be crated when I need to step out momentarily. In my home, pets are part of the family! 🐾 I have a fully fenced one-acre yard where they can safely run and play, and when the weather’s nice, we’ll spend lots of time outside together. Indoors, your pup will be right by my side, whether that’s hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook or relaxing nearby. I don’t crate unless you request it or for brief times when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love so they feel safe and comfortable until you’re back.
“Michelle took excellent care of our dog. We had something come up that required immediate dog sitting and Michelle was truly a savior. She was superb (five plus stars) in caring for our dog. She has an excellent process in place of introducing the dogs to each other and feeding them. She has an amazing large property that is all fenced with a huge area for all of the dogs to enjoy each other and have wonderful dog play time. And excellent communication. Very highly recommended.”
About: I have 5 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 4 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.
“Melissa was pleasant, caring and watched our senior puppy Grover for about four hours so we could go to a medical appointment. Grover has separation anxiety and he's blind and partially deaf and Melissa cared for him well. We will definitely use again when the need arises.”
“Katie is amazing! She made my pups feel so loved, they came home happy and tired from having such a blast! They wanted to stay longer to keep playing! She treats them like family and it made me feel at ease knowing that she takes care of them the way I do.”
“Jamie was a wonderful sitter ❤️ she was attentive and gracious and kept my puppy safe. Kuzco loved playing with her dogs and he was happy and well worn at the end of the day, which is hard to do with the puppy energy! Jamie was flexible with my last minute, changing schedule around the holidays and I am very thankful!”
“Simone was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Liam! At first I was a little hesitant because I saw she had three dogs, but do not let that deter you. Her dogs are so cute , and friendly, and my dog had such a fun time with them. In fact it was a plus!!! Her husband was also very kind with Liam. I highly recommend Simone.. and I would use her again in a heartbeat!!”
“Our family just moved from CT and needed a sitter for our Bennie while trying to settle in. Caroline was readily available and so accomodating! Also minutes from our new home - Bennie will definitely be going back!”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals. I have had dogs most of my life, and became a cat mom over 10 years ago. They are more than just pets - they’re family! I will treat your loved fur one like my own. I have experience giving dogs oral medications and giving cats both oral medications and injections (insulin). I work a hybrid schedule so my days are super flexible! I can be flexible with timing as long as I have sufficient notice. I am happy to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I want to assimilate your fur baby’s routine to the best of my ability! I will follow your instructions with any specific guidelines or requests. I am not afraid to ask clarifying questions.
About: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.
About: I have always had pets growing up, and my love for them has grown even more in my adulthood. I have bred dogs, so I am well rehearsed with all ages of dogs, from pups to elder. I have two dogs of my own, a dachshund and a golden retriever. As a nurse, I am driven to care for others, and that includes our furry friends ! I work as a nurse on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I dog sit/dog walk on my off days and weekends. I enjoy morning walks the best, but I am free throughout Wednesday and Fridays I will respect your space as if it were my own. I have been dog sitting for many years and have never had a trust or safety issue. I’m very dependable and trustworthy.
“Ute was great proving day care for our new puppy. As he was in a new home and trying to adapt to life without his mom and littermates, Ute went the extra mile to attend to his needs as a young puppy. I highly recommend Ute!”
About: Dogs have been part of our lives since childhood, and now we're lucky enough to share our home with three well-trained pups who absolutely love having furry friends visit. We've been through it all—raising energetic puppies, caring for senior dogs with special needs, and everything in between. As a stay-at-home mom and work-from-home dad, we're here all day, every day. Your dog will never be left alone and will get the same love and attention our own dogs receive. Our daily routine includes hour-long walks and plenty of playtime in our fenced backyard, where dogs can run, explore, and socialize safely. We only accept one additional dog at a time to ensure every guest gets personalized attention and fits well with our pack. Our three dogs are friendly, well-socialized, and love making new friends, so your pup will have built-in playmates if they're interested—or plenty of quiet companionship if they prefer a calmer pace. We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else. We'll treat your pet like family, keep you updated with photos and messages, and follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. As dog lovers, our pets aren't just part of our schedule—they are our schedule! Since we're both home full-time, your dog will be integrated into our everyday life just like our own. Our dogs get a solid hour-long walk every day around lunchtime, and your pup will join right in. When the weather's nice, we're constantly heading out to the backyard for play sessions, potty breaks, and supervised exploration throughout the day. Because we work from home, there's always someone available for attention, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch. Dogs have free access to our main living areas and are never isolated or crated unless that's your specific request. Meal times, medication schedules, and any special routines you have at home—we'll stick to them. Your dog will simply become the fourth member of our pack while they're here, getting the same care, exercise, and love our three receive every single day. Your dog's safety is our top priority. Our home features a securely fenced backyard that's regularly inspected, and we never leave dogs unsupervised outdoors. Inside, our space is dog-proofed and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. We're experienced in reading dog body language and managing group dynamics. Before any visit, we do a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility with our pack. We only take one guest at a time so we can carefully monitor interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and happy. We know trust is everything when it comes to your pet. We'll keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, and we're always available if you need to reach us. All dogs in our care are treated with the same watchful eye and gentle care we give our own—because we understand they're not just pets, they're family. Our calm, loving home environment means less stress for your dog and peace of mind for you.
About: My husband and I work from home and would love to host your fur baby! We have a 7-pound maltipoo, Gizzie, who would love to snuggle with your pup in our bed. Our three cats are used to dogs being boarded in our home and don't mind the extra company. When dogs stay for overnight visits, they have breaks every 1-2 hours and receive lots of cuddles and playtime. Each day they can enjoy long walks in the neighborhood. I also do drop-ins and dog walks so your pups can stretch their legs when you're not around. I love sending videos and pics of your fur baby enjoying themselves and frequent feedback about how they are doing so you never have to worry about a thing! My husband and I work from home and are able to give your pup the attention it needs while you're away! We love on your pet and like to send lots of updates. I like to treat your pup like my own. We go for regular walks for exercise, have frequent potty breaks, and enjoy lots of time to play!

About: I looked after and cared for my family’s two dogs as a teen and am 1 year into being a work from home dog dad for our English Golden, Archie. I can walk, feed, play and otherwise entertain your pets as I do my own. I work from home doing an 8am-4pm office job fully remote. I have many breaks throughout the day as the job is on call/as needed. I use this spare time to enrich our puppies life with exercise, playtime, and training. Weekends are usually free unless I am out of town. I have a fenced in back yard for easy outside time and a small neighborhood for walks. I have a 1 year old English Golden Retriever named Archie who loves to play and make new friends. I can kennel dogs at night if needed. Archie’s night time routine involves his crate which he prefers to go to at night for sleeping. On an average day we alternate between lounging by the hearth, playing frisbee/ball outside to get laps in, naps, and of course walks around lunch time and shortly after work. I can come to your house for check ins or walks and if needed can pick up/drop off your pet for boarding at my place.

I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. We owned multiple different breeds growing up and as an adult I’ve owned a Cane Corso and currently own an Australian shepherd. I have a very active dog so I walk him very early in the morning but then he works with my husband all day so he gets enrichment through his tasks at work. Personally, I currently work remotely and it’s extremely flexible so I am able to meet you and your pups needs! I can easily pop in and out for check-ins, feedings, medication, walks, etc. I’ve worked with many different set ups so I’m comfortable if you need me to just drop your pup back in his yard, home or even back into his/her crate after a visit.
“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”
About: Ive taken care of my own dogs and friends for about 3 years now. I love dogs so much and I hope to continue caring for them. I work full time during the day but I will walk or visit in between work meetings and play with them a ton at night. I will make sure they’re fed and have time inside and outside. I also love to play with dogs and will keep them entertained as much as possible.
About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.

About: I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. I started learning about dog training when I was around 10 years old, checking out books and videos from the library because I was fascinated by how dogs communicate and respond to people. I have experience with breeds such as Boxers, Poodles, German Shepherds, and Pit Bulls, and I’m very patient with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I believe calm, confident energy and clear communication are so important when caring for pets. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy giving animals a great experience. On walks, I don’t rush dogs. I let them sniff, explore, and enjoy themselves while making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet with kindness and respect. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because animals are already such a big part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel cared for. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so dog walks and drop-in visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give pets the time they need, whether that means a good walk, extra snuggles, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special preferences. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I give pets fresh water, attention, playtime, walks, and patience based on their personality and needs. I also enjoy sending updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
