“Tyler helped us out at the last minute and was awesome to work with! He was flexible, great at communication, and kept us updated with photos the whole time. June enjoyed her stay with him!”
“Cyndie and her family took great care of my two furry family members. Cyndie is quick to communicate and shared photos while we were out of town. My doggies were right at home. :)”
“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!”
“Erin and Joseph provided excellent care for our 2 dogs! Joseph was exceptional in understanding and calming our anxious and hyperactive pets. He provided regular updates and sent pics of playtime. I highly recommend them for any pet sitting needs!”
“Misty took great care of Luna! I received updates on how she was doing along with pictures, which helped to put my mind at ease and I know my girl had a great time. We will definitely request with Misty for our next trip.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone since we adopted him, so I was definitely nervous about leaving him for 36 hours. She was incredibly kind, caring, and reassuring throughout his stay, which made me feel so much more comfortable. She sent us pictures and updates, and she was always so quick to respond whenever I had a question. It was such a relief to see him happy and well cared for while we were away. You can really tell that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’m so glad we chose her to take care of our dog, and we would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup! ❤️🐾”
“Angela is awesome. I love her set up for the dogs, great shaded backyard. She gave me updates with photos and videos keeping me connected to my pup. I will definitely return to her with my pup in the future.”
“Hayley was very nice and took care of our pup during a last minute trip. We got lots of photos and he came home very happy and tired! He clearly had lots of playtime and exercise. Would most definitely recommend!”
“She was awesome. She gave us updates throughout the week on how are dogs are doing. Could definitely tell they were getting lovings. Was totally suprise she bathed and brushed or dogs on pickup day. My girls smelled wonderful. Ember loves the toys she gave them. Would definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“Scott took such great care of Halo while I was away! He was kind, communicative, and made sure Halo felt right at home. I loved getting the daily updates and could tell Halo was happy and comfortable the whole time. It’s always a relief to find someone you can truly trust with your pup — and Scott is definitely that person. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Kaitlyn! She was very easy to communicate with and took many adorable pictures of our pups during their stay. We got daily updates on their progress which was so comforting our first time away from them for more than a day or two. Definitely recommend!!”
“Heather was outstanding! Definitely recommend her. She was very communicative and sent photos and videos of Teddy every day. He will definitely be staying with her again.”
“Wonderful experience with Patti!!! We booked over Easter weekend. She was super easy to communicate with, updated us throughout, sent pictures, etc. Her kids were great and absolutely showered our dog with love.”
“Pups are taken care of and understood by Brandon! I have a high energy, very dramatic and personable pup…he takes her as she is and in good humor which is much appreciated.”

“Diane is absolutely amazing! She always sends us photos when she comes to check on our cat, and I know that she is taking great care of her while we are away. Could not ask for a more reliable, professional, and caring person to be taking after our pet while we are gone!”
“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”
“I just returned home last night and was ecstatic to find my three young cats so happy and well-cared for. I was away for 2 weeks, and Jordan came every other day. Finding someone who would not only meet my cats basic needs but also socialize them for 30 minutes is a treasure. Jordan sent pictures of every visit. I can tell my cats were not lonely, and seeing the pictures throughout my travels made me feel so comfortable. Jordan even made sure my home was in tidy order, which I greatly appreciate. I will definitely use Jordan again. I trust her with my key and my home and kittens. I recommend her to anyone who wants special care for their furry friends. And Jordan is great with cats! Not everyone can get one of my cats out to play, and Jordan had all of them out and enjoying themselves. Thank you to Jordan!”

About: I’ve always loved animals, (especially cats, I’m a huge cat person), so I’ve had at least one or two ever since I was little, and throughout the years I’ve learned how to take care of them. I’ve also owned a few dogs here and there, including a chihuahua. (I have more experience with small dogs.) As of now, I am completely free all Monday through Sunday, so feel free to book me whenever. There are times I do go to church on Sundays around 1:30pm to 3, so anytime after would work. I can take care of animals indoors. I have an animal gate to help prevent them from going upstairs and having access to the stairs.

About: I've taken care of animals starting from a young age. I love animals and enjoy having them around and caring for them. Animals are a significant part of my everyday life. I spend my time home caring for my dog and children. It's a very important part of each day. Between feeding them each meal to walking them and playing with them, they're heavily integrated into our lives. I have a friendly dog who loves to play. I also have two children who love animals but are also good with boundaries considering these pets will be in an unfamiliar environment. I personally care for each pet that comes into my home, but my children will be present.

About: I may be new to offering pet care, but my love for dogs is definitely not new!

Your dog will enjoy a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment with plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routines to help them feel right at home. I also know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates.

Fresh water will always be available, along with lots of supervision, attention, playtime, and love. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home while they’re here!

About: Hi, I'm Kelly! If you're anything like me, your dogs aren't just pets—they're family. I know how hard it can be to leave them behind, whether you're heading to work for the day or taking a much-needed vacation. The worry about whether they're comfortable, happy, and being cared for the way you would care for them yourself is something I completely understand. Dogs & cats have been a part of my life - forever, and caring for them has always been one of my greatest joys. While Rottweilers hold a special place in my heart, I have raised and trained them for more than 25 years - I've also had the privilege of loving and raising Dachshunds, West Highland White Terriers, and German Shepherds. I truly believe that dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and secure. Just like people, they find comfort in familiar routines and consistency. When I'm caring for your pet, I do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible, so they can relax while you're away. I’m currently a stay at home Mom. My husband and I have two children (4 years & 5 years old) and two beloved Rottweilers, Beau and Abby. Beau is our big, goofy 120-pound boy with a confident but gentle nature, and Abby is our calm and steady six-year-old girl who seems to have an old soul. We recently lost our senior dachshund Marvin. Years ago, I spent time involved in competitive obedience training and earned therapy certifications with my big dogs. Those experiences deepened my appreciation for canine behavior, communication, and the importance of building trust and understanding with our dogs. More than anything, they taught me that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. I am a Christian, and my faith influences how I care for others—both people and their pets. When you're trusting me with your dog and your home, I understand what a responsibility that is. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being cared for with genuine love, attention, and compassion. Our property is designed to give your pup a fun, safe, and relaxing vacation while you're away. We have a fully fenced backyard on just under an acre, providing plenty of room to run, play, explore, and soak up the sunshine. For dogs who love the water, we have an in-ground swimming pool, and they're welcome to swim under supervision. We even provide doggie life jackets so they can enjoy the pool safely. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. All meals are served separately to ensure a calm, stress-free dining experience, and I use brief crate rotations when needed to give each guest quiet time or individualized attention. At bedtime, non-destructive pups are welcome to curl up on a cozy queen-size bed in our guest suite. For dogs who find comfort in background noise, I can leave the TV on to help them relax and feel at home. Each day is filled with personalized attention, games of fetch, outdoor play, cuddles, and plenty of enrichment. On warm days, our guests even enjoy dog-friendly ice cream as a special treat! My goal is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back for their next vacation. Here, your pup isn't just being watched—they're treated like family and spoiled with love every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. My life is dedicated to raising my children, and pet sitting allows me to earn a little extra income while doing something I truly love. I strongly believe in routine and structure. As a former teacher, I enjoy keeping things organized and providing a consistent, comfortable environment for everyone in my care. Before caring for your pet, I'll ask plenty of questions about their daily routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they're with us. We have a spacious home with a split floor plan, which allows us to easily accommodate different dogs. If your pet is staying overnight, we can separate dogs when needed, rotate playtime, or allow them to socialize together, depending on their personalities and comfort levels. My dogs do well with other dogs of various sizes, and I always prioritize safe, supervised interactions. We have a fenced yard with a pool. My goal is to provide each pet with the right balance of rest, play, exercise, and socialization so they feel at home while you're away.

This allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while ensuring each pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship they need. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, medication administration, or overnight care, I am committed to making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. Your dog’s safety is my highest priority. So I closely supervise and follow instructions carefully. Before booking, please let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, behavioral concerns, triggers, or favorite routines. The more I know, the better I can care for them. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. And I don’t take that lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your dog with active adventure or a comfy companion while you’re away.

Lots of love given at all times! If there are other medical needs I will need details of their care when setting up an appointment.

I’m home all summer, available throughout the week & nearly every weekend. I'm trying to fill-in for those missing summertime paychecks while providing reliable, loving care for other people's pets. I’m fully background‑checked & fingerprinted through the school system & I take safety very seriously. I bring years of life experience, maturity, and reliability to pet care. Families can appreciate my calm, steady presence & the consistency I bring to every visit. I provide safe, reliable care by following each pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to details, & focused on creating a calm, stress‑free environment for every visit. I know how tough it can be to leave your pet behind, even for a short time. I’ll treat your baby or babies with the same care & attention I give my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small pets. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs special care, I take the time to understand their personality and make them feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love what I do. Let me give your pet the care and attention they deserve while you’re gone! I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week and on weekends. I can usually fit in morning and evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust where I can to fit your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, structure, and attention. I take time to learn each animal’s routine, dietary needs, and quirks so they feel safe and understood. In your home, I always treat your space with respect—keeping things clean and sticking to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. I provide regular check-ins, photos, and updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a dog who needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a quiet spot, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way.
About: I’ve been caretaking for all types of animals for over 15 years. From training puppies to pampering seniors & everything between, I’ve been the go-to for neighbors, friends & family when it comes to their pet care needs. As a farmer, I have a flexible schedule to provide for your needs & have been a farm-sitter for many satisfied folks! I work part-time (have those days blocked off my pet care calendar), so I will be able to give 100% of my time to your pet(s).

I am also available for doggie daycare in my home where I can provide utmost safety & playtime. My care regimen is flexible & can be catered to individuals’ needs. I have a large yard & many spare 15-20ft leashes to keep your pet safe while providing quality playtime. I also have a dog to help keep your fur baby company while in my care! Your dog can hang out with us in my home, or upon your request I can crate your fur baby & take them out for as many walks/potty/play breaks as you’d like.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals and have worked professionally with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies and large playgroups to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced with cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level!

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds! I’m very reliable for feeding, walking, and maintaining a safe play environment for your pup! We will be able to go on walks up and down the neighborhood or to local dog parks! I currently only work 2 days at the beginning of the week and am typically home the rest of the time! Your fur baby will be allowed to hang out in my house alone or in their kennel, if preferred! When I am not home, my partner is and has years of pet experience as well! I have 4 super friendly pups that love playing with other dogs in our fenced-in backyard! They are all currently caught up on all vaccinations.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals for over 18 years, and it’s truly something I love doing. Throughout that time, I’ve had the opportunity to care for puppies, senior dogs, and every age and personality in between. From daily walks and feeding schedules to bathing, playtime, and overnight care, I’ve worked with dogs in a variety of settings and understand that each one has unique needs. I’m also a dog parent myself. My 8-year-old rescue pup has taught me so much about patience, trust, and helping a dog feel safe and loved. Supporting her as she healed from past trauma has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced my belief that every pet deserves compassionate and individualized care. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you’re away, or someone to keep up with their daily routine, I will care for them with the same love that I give my own. I currently work full-time remotely in the Lebanon area, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be available throughout the day for pet care needs. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m often able to accommodate a variety of schedules. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide consistent, attentive care while keeping their routine as normal as possible. Feel free to reach out with your specific needs, and I’ll do my best to find a schedule that works for both of us. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel at home. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone who will care for them as their own. My 8-year-old rescue pup helps make our home a welcoming place for visiting dogs. Whether they want to play, explore, lounge on the couch, or simply enjoy the company of another dog, she’s great at meeting them where they are. Together, we create an environment where dogs can feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: When I’m pet sitting your best friends, they will receive Play Time, Constant Attention, Affection, Love, as well as a safe environment to be in. Animals are my passion and are a ginormous part of my life. I will go above and beyond for your four-legged best friend 💪🏽 after all…. It’s what they deserve for their undying loyalty. I’m currently a student who studies virtually from home. I have open availability throughout the entire week. Being a student allows me to have a lot of free time. Your fur babies will be exercised, loved, and be safe at all times with me. I look forward to taking care of your best friend I have a dog named Bear who’s an absolute sweetheart. His daily schedule is eating supplements, vitamins, and his food once in the morning and once at night. He takes 1-2 hour daily trips to the Dog Park, and well as receiving constant affection and love. Your dog deserves the same treatment.
About: I have practically always had animals be apart of my life. I grew up with a stray cat who would become my own cat at a young age. And I would often take care of my grandmothers dog named Socks in both their old age. I once rescued a baby bird and even a baby deer more recently. I’ve looked after pets of family and friends and friends of family and friends. I currently own a cat named Chance, and my job for about 3 years is a dog daycare and board which also provides grooming services such as baths, nail trims, etc. I hold a huge spot in my heart for animals and I foresee myself always doing something with them. I work part time, so I typically have a lot of free time to explore other ventures. And with me also having the full weekend to myself, it would be great to spend that time taking care of pets. At the moment, I live with my parents and pet sitting there couldn’t happen given my mom is afraid of dogs, but if I were pet sitting in a clients home, I would be more than respectful and appreciative of the trust.
About: Since childhood, I've had dogs, cats, fish and snakes. In the past 10 years, we have 5 dogs in the family. I have taken care of friend's pets as well (dogs and bunny). I take pride in trying to understand all their different personalities and letting them be their true selves. Seeing a true smile on a dogs face, while they're doing zoomies or running through the backyard, brings me so much joy <3 I am open to dog walks and house visits currently. My availability is mostly weekdays, but I am open to the occasional evening, weekend or overnight. I will be sure your pets are safe and happy, with full water bowls, and fed/given medication on their schedule. (We have several seniors that need medication on a schedule, so I fully understand the importance of that). I am happy to play with your pets in your yard (after I check the gate is secure), or in the house. I also provide plenty of attention in the way of pets and snuggles :)
About: Hi there. My name is Robyn and I am an animal loving, responsible sitter who would love to help you out with your pets! I have been a dog owner for 18 years as well as a dog foster Mom and a cat owner in the past. I even had a chicken for a couple of years whom I loved dearly and was the neighborhood mascot.:) I know what it is like to have to find loving, responsible caregivers for your pets, as I have used this service for years for my pups. I can come to your house for drop-in visits, walks or overnight stays. I’m happy to help you out with your fur babies wherever I can! Please ask me any questions you might have. I am currently working a job where I make my own schedule, so that makes it very easy to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a 4 yr old boxer and she usually comes along with me for in home stays. She gets along well with all other animals and has made lots of furry friends along the way. I’ve been very lucky to have some wonderful repeat customers and I love seeing the dogs reunite (with the ones who have stayed with myself and my dogs) as they are always fast friends again. I look forward to meeting all the new dogs…and other animals!
About: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
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
About: I make sure to show the animals all the love and attention they need! It is more to taking care of pets than just feeding and walking them! They need physical affection as well! I have two dogs myself so i’m very used to taking good care of animals 24/7. I want to do this full time so it would fit into my schedule very well! I make sure to take lots of time with my animals and i also make sure to keep a very close eye on certain animals!

“Tyler helped us out at the last minute and was awesome to work with! He was flexible, great at communication, and kept us updated with photos the whole time. June enjoyed her stay with him!”
“Cyndie and her family took great care of my two furry family members. Cyndie is quick to communicate and shared photos while we were out of town. My doggies were right at home. :)”
“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!”
“Erin and Joseph provided excellent care for our 2 dogs! Joseph was exceptional in understanding and calming our anxious and hyperactive pets. He provided regular updates and sent pics of playtime. I highly recommend them for any pet sitting needs!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone since we adopted him, so I was definitely nervous about leaving him for 36 hours. She was incredibly kind, caring, and reassuring throughout his stay, which made me feel so much more comfortable. She sent us pictures and updates, and she was always so quick to respond whenever I had a question. It was such a relief to see him happy and well cared for while we were away. You can really tell that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I’m so glad we chose her to take care of our dog, and we would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup! ❤️🐾”
“Angela is awesome. I love her set up for the dogs, great shaded backyard. She gave me updates with photos and videos keeping me connected to my pup. I will definitely return to her with my pup in the future.”
“Hayley was very nice and took care of our pup during a last minute trip. We got lots of photos and he came home very happy and tired! He clearly had lots of playtime and exercise. Would most definitely recommend!”
“She was awesome. She gave us updates throughout the week on how are dogs are doing. Could definitely tell they were getting lovings. Was totally suprise she bathed and brushed or dogs on pickup day. My girls smelled wonderful. Ember loves the toys she gave them. Would definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Kaitlyn! She was very easy to communicate with and took many adorable pictures of our pups during their stay. We got daily updates on their progress which was so comforting our first time away from them for more than a day or two. Definitely recommend!!”
“Wonderful experience with Patti!!! We booked over Easter weekend. She was super easy to communicate with, updated us throughout, sent pictures, etc. Her kids were great and absolutely showered our dog with love.”
“Pups are taken care of and understood by Brandon! I have a high energy, very dramatic and personable pup…he takes her as she is and in good humor which is much appreciated.”
“Scott was amazing! Took care of my girl Dixie and was very accommodating for her despite her being dog selective. It was a huge relief for me and Dixie had a great time!”
“This family was an absolute blessing to find to watch our Luna, she is an attention loving, playful girl, and we could not have found a better home for a weekend. 10/10 would recommend. The updates and pictures through out the weekend really eased any worries while out of state. Thank you and your family so much!!!”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter! She sent lots of updates and photos and it was obvious our pup had a blast with her and her dogs. We would definitely recommend and would book her again!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Laura was absolutely amazing with our pups this past weekend! We never once had to worry about them while they were in her care. You can genuinely tell that she cares about what she does and makes sure to treat every pet like they’re her own. Her experience in pet care was one of the main reasons we initially chose to book with her, and after meeting her, it was immediately evident just how knowledgeable and experienced she is. She was so compassionate, understanding, and attentive to each of our dogs’ individual schedules and personalities. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for, (& most importantly loved!) and her communication was great!! Laura was incredibly trustworthy, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re so grateful for the love and care she gave our pups and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups! And my pups came home happy and tired from playing all weekend long! Thank you, Laura!”
“Absolutely recommend Shilo! She took care of our mini dachshund Lizzy so lovingly and carefully like her own. The communication was so good along with photos. Shiloh’s home is clean and perfect areas for walking dogs in a beautiful neighborhood. Will definitely use Shilo again!!!”
