Personalized care for your dog or cat - Harbuck

“Darlene was wonderful caring for our two dogs. They had never been away from us and we didn’t know how well they would respond. Darlene was exceptional when dealing with our one dog especially because he had separation anxiety the first night but Darlene was able to make him feel secure. The fact they both still ate okay was so reassuring. She sent us regular updates and pictures which is very important in helping owners feel secure about your pets safety and comfort. It made our short vacation so much less stressful knowing our pets were in good hands. Darlene’s setup with a nice green area fully fenced in was perfect and our dogs. We would definitely recommend Darlene with no hesitation.”

“David and Leslie were awesome! They treated my Callie like their own and sent me updates regularly with pictures. She seemed very comfortable with both of them and got along well with their sweet dog.”

“Cynthia and her husband was amazing! They were able to take care of pur dog and ferrets last minute (with only a 5 minute warning if that 😅) and made them feel right at home. Our dog Molly and our ferrets get super stressed when we leave them home so we took them on vacation with us but we needed someone to take care of them while we did activities and Cynthia did not hesitate taking them- even on a Saturday. Molly went right to them with no problem and no hesitation- she fit right in and didn't seem stressed or sad at all when we got her back. Cynthia communicated very well and even sent pictures of Molly and our ferrets and they looked like they were right at home and happy as can be!!! Way better than the daycares that have at least 10 other dogs and usually stick the dogs in a concrete kennel most of the day. You can tell Cynthia and her husband loves animals and cares for them and the animals can sense that. I counld not thank them enough for making their schedule work last minute and for caring for my babies as their own!!!! 🩷”

About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodl), a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!

“Shannon was loving and caring towards our pups. She sent daily pictures and even gathered the babies a bath before we picked them up. So happy with her service and care.”

About: Hi! I am Lauren Elizabeth. I spent 8+ years as a Veterinary Technician before moving into Animal Training & Behavior. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with the CCPDT and a Professional Member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. I am also an AKC Evaluator. We have a beautiful 24 acre Farm in Englewood, Tennessee - and I spend most of my days every day here (who wouldn’t?) I am educated, experienced, compassionate and have a strong background in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Training & Behavior, allowing me to provide a cozy, enriching, and nurturing environment for your pets! I am a Dog Trainer and work from home. I am always here. I have a beautiful 24 acre Farm in Englewood and only have a select number of pets at any given time so every single one can get the time and individual attention they absolutely deserve! As a Trainer myself, I place a strong emphasis on doing everything with a “training” mentality - and bettering the lives of the animals in my care. We do a lot of walks, enriching games and mini training sessions, and even do meal times out of fun puzzle feeders and foraging toys! I want pets to look forward to coming here and owners to be able to really relax and enjoy their vacations! ☀️ Safety is a huge priority! This is why I only have a select number of pets in my care at any given time. I want to make sure every pet receives dedicated time and attention. I only walk on-leash or provide potty breaks in supervised, fenced areas (some exceptions for pets in training with me). I do lots of fun and exciting games and am always looking for ways to make the day more exciting!

“Excellent experience! She quickly responded to messages and kept us updated while our dogs stayed with her. She gave us a tour when we dropped them off and she has an amazing set up. We left knowing our dogs would be well taken care of. Kelly is the third sitter we've used and the best by far. Strongly recommend.”

They will always be safe, they will always be loved both individually and as a group ! I have trained my own my furry babies over the years ! They were all loving and accepting of all creatures and my babies were little ones ! The little ones get branded not so good but I see the best in them all and attend to their individual needs when they come into my home they become a member of my family and receive the love and attention they need !!! I am retired, therefore I am available 24/7 . I have the priveleage of being home to ensure that each sweetie that comes into my home is attended to both with love and any care they will require anywhere from young puppy to our senior babies who will require more attention in regards to medicine massages for their joints and simply love I have a fenced yard to accommodate small dogs I have one myself who is 7lbs. She is friendly to all new guests! And when I take her out to either potty or to just get free run exercise in my yard I stay with her.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and family pets since I was 10 years old, giving me over 30 years of hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I can handle daily walks, feedings, playtime, and bathing, and I treat every pet like a beloved member of the family. work full-time but usually finish by 3pm, which gives me plenty of time for afternoon and evening pet care. I’m fully available all day on Thursdays and Sundays, and can also provide weekend boarding. I have a safe home environment and a sweet toy poodle who enjoys walks and companionship. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and always treat them like part of the family.

“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”

About: I’ve had every type of pet under the sun from dogs to cats to reptiles and love them all the same. Very experienced with all breeds and able to handle very large dogs / gentle with very small kittys. I am available 24/7 to meet the needs of our best friends. I treat animals like kids they deserve the world. Willing to help anytime. I live in a house with a decently large back yard, 2 dogs and 1 cat but enough space to keep animals separated if yours don’t get along with others. Easy paved walk or a simple mountain trail close If your dog requires more intense walks.

“Emily was SO helpful with our pup Luca who needed care last minute. He is getting over a pneumonia and I felt so at ease knowing Emily was watching him while I was at work.”

About: I’ve owned pets since I was born, even now I own 2 rescue cats, 2 golden retrievers, chickens, ducks, too many tanks and fish to count and often many rescue animals. I’m the girl that stops my car and moves snakes, alligator snapping turtles and all manner of creatures from the road. I’m not scared of any pets, or animals. I love to meet new furry friends and often am told I have “a way” with animals. My nick name as a child was Snow White. One day we hope to own a farm. I graduated college as an EMT, so I have wound care experience and also am trained in natural medicine as well. I’m the mom of 3 and have the privilege of being a stay at home mom of humans and animals. I’m free most of the time to help care for those who need help! I often dog sit at my home with my family as supportive help for playing with and caring for those in our care. My kids adore walking, playing and loving on any pets. I and (if desired) my kids can easily come to care for your loved ones at your home as well. We cater to preferences and love animals of all kinds! Furry guests in our home usually sleep on a kid and their bed all night unless other preferred requests like a kennel if you don’t want them spoiled.

About: Welcome to Pecor's Pups! My wife and I have a lifetime of experience caring for all sorts of animals. We love dogs, especially. I have a veterinary care background, as I used to be a vet tech. I also have a Zoology degree and am experienced with various different types of animals and the care thereof. We have an energetic - yet very gentle - Golden Retriever and a rambunctious Great Pyrenees mix so all dogs staying with us must get along with other dogs. We would be willing to separate our pups for periods of time to give your little guy/girl one-on-one time, if that is your preference. We do have the ability to block off areas of the home to separate (from my dogs, or if you have more than one dog and they need separation) if needed. We have a large fenced in yard that is treated monthly to prevent fleas in the area. They can get all the playtime they need! If you don't wish for that, though, then that is not a problem either. I have a very comfortable environment for any and all animals who stay with me, with several dog beds that are washed and sanitized after each stay (and in between often) as well as tons of puzzle toys and enrichment activities if they're interested in that. Otherwise, we will just cuddle and hang out! I will stay strict with any and all schedules (feeding, treats, play time, potty time, medicines, etc) that you provide, but if you don't have a specific schedule for your dog, then I will put them on my dogs' feeding, play, treat, and potty schedule (except for younger or older puppies that may need a little more accommodation in that department) I am very easy-going and easy to deal with. I will also send as many updates via text as you want, with photos and "report cards" of your little ones activities for the day. We also provide baths, nail trims and ear cleanings! Let me know what you may need during your stay with us! If you have any further questions about me or our home and/or our dog and the services we provide, do not hesitate to reach out. We own two businesses from home (Pecor's Pups and another business) so we have a lot of time to dedicate to your pet(s) and their needs! I have a fenced in yard and two floors (the downstairs is currently under partial construction to make Pecor's Pups even more accommodating and cozy!) I can separate pets if needed for whatever reason, and there will be a lot of space outside for pups to roam whilst also being completely contained in the safety of my backyard.

“This was Kona’s first stay with multiple dogs and a pet-sitter! She tends to be anxious around new dogs and can be quite skidding. Kelley was great and super accommodating to Konas needs. Great and prompt communication. Would highly recommend!”

About: Stephanie "Stevie" is experienced with managing the special needs of high-anxiety and/or reactive dogs. She has rescued and rehabilitated 3 dogs of her own, and 6 cats. She is an active volunteer at the local animal shelter, helping with adoption events and enrichment activities. Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old. She started with plants and birds, and now 20 years later, can work with any animal, including ones that require bottle feedings, complex medication schedules, or homestays up to 2 weeks. Farm animals too! Chickens, ducks, and goats! She was a camp counselor for 3 summers and also conducted a work exchange at a homestead farm for 1 summer. She successfully worked for Trusted Housesitters but has switched to Rover for more local opportunities. I work remotely part-time and have a flexible schedule that can meet all of your pet's individual needs. 24/7 care and attention for your animal! I understand your home is your sanctuary, and I aim to leave it as if I was never there. All poops are bagged up and properly disposed of immediately. All water drops or pee piddles are cleaned up with pet-safe sanitation spray. The door locks are always double checked upon departure. I send pictures of your pets happy and healthy during every visit.

“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”

“I was delighted with Mandy, I don't speak English very well but that was not inconvenient for her I was afraid of leaving my baby with someone outside of the family, but as soon as we arrived and I saw how kind she is and how happy she was, my Golden took away my fear, She always had communication with me, she sent me photos and video that made my trip not so painful for me. when I returned to look for my baby he was happy I know that they took good care of him and I appreciate it. he already has a place to go that they love him the same as at home”
