“Mariah did an up front meet & greet to be certain our dog would be comfortable with her and her dogs. She sent us daily pics and updates, and treated our dog like one of her own.”
“My dog, Buchoy, had fun at Ms. Bethany's care for 3 nights! He met new friends, went for a car ride, and went for a long walk! Everytime I leave him at Ms. Bethany's, I feel so appeased because I know that he is very safe and that he will enjoy the stay. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Can not praise Derek and Jenn enough, they took care of our very nervous little Jack ( this little chap had a sad start in life and never really knew that humans can be ok) and they let him see how great people can be. Had daily pictures and updates, I never worried once whilst on our holiday, he looked more relaxed every day. Thank you both, I know we will be happy to have Jack stay next time we are away.”
“Cindy felt like an old friend from the moment my dogs and I met. The four days that she watched and boarded my dogs, she provided many updates and photos and videos. I know she spent a lot of time with them, because they both slept 10 plus hours the first morning back with me. Cindy is a really kind soul. I will book with her in the future.”
About: As a kitten foster and multi-pet household caregiver, I’m used to caring for animals with different needs, energy levels, and personalities. Whether it’s playful kittens, shy cats, or dogs that need structure and attention, I adjust my care to what each pet needs. I’m also comfortable administering medications and paying close attention to behavior and health. I take the time to really understand each animal and respond to what they need—whether that’s extra patience, playtime, routine, or a quieter approach. I take pride in being dependable and communicative. You’ll get consistent updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I offer: • Drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays • Care for multiple pets at once • Medication administration • Extra patience for shy or young animals • Close attention to routines and behavior I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible :) Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely. As long as I have my laptop, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I can care for your pet in my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable. If they prefer staying in their own space, I’m happy to bring my work with me and keep their routine consistent. This flexibility means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have companionship, supervision, and a calm presence—whether that’s relaxing on my lap while I work or resting nearby. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a secure, calm environment with close supervision. At my home, pets have access to a large backyard that backs up to a farm and a quiet cul-de-sac street, giving plenty of space to explore safely. While my yard isn’t fenced, I take extra precautions to ensure pets remain secure at all times. I have a small Morkie who enjoys gentle play, and kittens in my care are always excited to meet new friends. Interacting with other animals not only enriches their social experience but also helps kittens become more confident and adoptable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely, provide attentive supervision, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and confident in their familiar surroundings.
“Izabella and her family were so good to our pom Sammy. He got a lot of attention and play time with her kids, which would have made him feel right at home, plus her own dogs were very sweet. They were very accommodating and gave us lots of updates. 10/10 for not having to worry about our sweet boy while we were on vacation.”
“You will find yourself very fortunate if you are able to book Drew for pet sitting. Her experience and knowledge of pet behavior really helped set my mind at ease. I just moved to the area from Colorado and I have a senior dog that has been my companion and has gone everywhere with me for the last 10 years. She is an indoor dog used to be pampered. This is the first time I was unable to take her on a road trip with me. You can imagine my stress, apprehension and uncertainty to leave her with someone I had just met. During my meet and greet session with Drew I had a new sense of reassurance. She listened to me validated me and followed all my instructions. She communicated with me several times a day including photos & videos. Drew was flexible with me during my uncertain schedule. My dog was taken care of very well. Drew was able to adjust to any issues that came up quickly and appropriately. She was also competent & confident administering medication’s as needed for my dog. I would highly recommend Drew for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I always know that Dexter and Charlie will be well cared for while I’m away and treated just like family. They love playing with and sleeping with the other dogs and are always happy and tired by the time I pick them up. I receive wonderful updates every day, including pictures and videos which show my babies having the time of their lives!”
“Christina took great care of our Stevo and checked in daily with photos and comments to let us know how he was doing. He seemed happy and relaxed (and has been known to be slightly anxious, so that was great to see). In addition, Christina raved about our pup's behavior and how much she was bonding with him. We will definitely reach out to Christina again when we need boarding or daycare for Stevo.”
“Hannah is a wonderful pet sitter. She and her sweet family took good care of my Dolly doggy. She came home tired, but happy. She will be my first choice for Dolly next time I need her looked after and loved.”
“I didn’t know what to expect as this was my 1st boarding of a pet, but Shelley was very upbeat and patient and communicated promptly with me prior to my scheduled drop off day. My experience was hassle-free! The pictures and videos she sent me of my puppy with his new experiences and interactions with other pets, I was relieved. Upon pick up of Koda, everything went very smooth even though I did arrive sooner than I had expected from my trip. If you are looking to board your fur-baby, I highly recommend Shelley!”
“Went way past my expectations as a new customer! She's amazing sent photos of my baby girl playing etc! True pleasure to be working with! Rover scored a great sitter!!! Hands down!”
“I could not have asked for a better caregiver than Melissa when it comes to my Belgium Malinois. Melissa is a blessing in disguise! She has so much experience with animals that it makes it’s so easy to leave my fur baby with her without any concerns. Melissa is a very loving caregiver that addresses all the needs of my fur baby and I could not have asked for anything better. If you are looking for a dependable and responsible caregiver thing you should not have to look any further than Melissa. Thank you for everything Melissa.”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about animals. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and always try to give them the attention and care they deserve. Additionally, I have a prosthetic leg, which has made me more adaptable, patient, and attentive in everything I do. It’s taught me how to approach situations with care and awareness qualities that carry over into how I care for animals every day. I’m a Tennessee Tech student, and since I don’t have classes in the afternoons, I have a lot of availability to care for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and I like making sure pets stay active, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, fresh water, walks or bathroom breaks, and time to play. I also spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone while their owner is away.
About: I’ve spent 25+ years caring for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Living on 17 acres gives plenty of space for safe walks, playtime, and exploring. Whether your pup loves fetch, your cat just wants cuddles, or your reptile needs special attention, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I work from home so I’m usually always around! With 3 kids here everyone pitches in so your pet will always have someone around to care for them! 17 acres for your pets to explore if they like being outdoors. A comfy home indoors for the less adventurous ones! Our house is clean and safe and welcoming to all sort of animals.
“Parker was a fantastic sitter. I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy with him and was confident Parker would keep Huck safe, engaged, and exercised. When I picked him up, it was clear Huck had a fantastic time and was well-taken care of. I'll definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Jennifer is a great pet sitter. I had her sit my 2 cats and 2 chickens. The cats were in the process of being toilet trained. Jennifer went beyond expectations and encouraged them like I do. They were so comfortable with her even my one picky cat that hides from strangers. I couldn't have lucked out any better than finding her to take care of my babies!”
“Tammy did an amazing job caring for our two spoiled cats. She was dependable, thoughtful and sent us daily updates with photos. It was so nice not having to worry while we were away. Tammy followed my instructions to a tee and totally respected our home, as well. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner and we will absolutely ask for her help again.”
“Emma did awesome with strawberry and kept me up to date with everything and was responsive on any questions and concerns I had. She did things like opening my balcony for my cat strawberry to get some outdoor time and relax for the little time she was with her and I believe it helped considerably. I never used this app or service before but I know anytime I have future trips I will be booking with Emma, she was great and gave me ease of mind while focusing on visiting family.”

“My husband and I were on vacation in Lake Tahoe and needed day care for our pup while we visited beaches with no dog access. Bethany accepted the job on very short notice and agreed to watch our dog even though he had a sore on his muzzle that needed some extra attention. Bethany’s house is very dog friendly and she gave our dog tons of attention and entertainment. Bethany is very professional with healthy boundaries for the dogs she takes in and genuinely enjoys loving on animals! She also provides us with lots of updates during the day so we never had to worry how our dog was doing.”
“Regina is wonderful watching our Schatzi. When Schatzi arrived she was excited to be there. She was a little bit shy because she heard another dog, but I know she settled in quickly. When we picked her up, she was happy but was tired out from all her excitement of the day and needed a nap :)”
“I would recommend Christina F. for all my pet care. She was very gentle and took the stress off both me and my mini doxies as they have separation anxiety. Plus, this was the first time leaving them with anyone. She made them feel right at home and comfortable and sent photos of them. Definitely, would leave them with her again.”
“I was very happy with Gemmas’ care. She looked like she was having a great time and making new friends! Will definitely be calling Derek for our dog care needs in the future!”
“Charlie loved his time with Parker. He looked so content the entire car ride back. Parker was very communicative leading up to Charlie’s stay and during. I think Charlie enjoyed sniffing around the fenced in yard and exploring with other pups.”
“Chloe watched my pup for 4 days, everyday i got updates, pictures/videos. She even offered to clip her nails and dressed her up in a cute sweater. I felt comfortable leaving her in the environment and didn’t feel like she was not taken care of or ignored. I will definitely use her again next time we go on a trip. If you’re looking for someone to spend time with your pup and make them feel at home Chloe is your girl!!!”
About: I’ve spent all of my life with a passion for animals and grew up taking care of pigs for 4-H and FFA as well as riding and caring for about 16+ horses since I was 10 years old. I took veterinary college accredited classes in high school and have owned and cared for 3 dogs over the years. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats but I can take care of them in your home if needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a baby on the way in September. I’m am always at home unless I’m out grocery shopping or out at dinner with my fiancé. So I have plenty of time to care and love on your fur baby and make them feel right at home! I have no pets in the home currently and I would only be able to take your dog on walks and around the property to use the restroom as we have no fenced in yard currently. They will be inside most of their stay. When pet sitting at your place I can most of anything that is needed. I do not have a crate available at my house currently so if you would like your baby in a crate or kennel, you would need to supply that as well.

I know she spent a lot of time with them, because they both slept 10 plus hours the first morning back with me. Cindy is a really kind soul. I will book with her in the future.”
“Izabella and her family were so good to our pom Sammy. He got a lot of attention and play time with her kids, which would have made him feel right at home, plus her own dogs were very sweet. They were very accommodating and gave us lots of updates. 10/10 for not having to worry about our sweet boy while we were on vacation.”
“You will find yourself very fortunate if you are able to book Drew for pet sitting. Her experience and knowledge of pet behavior really helped set my mind at ease. I just moved to the area from Colorado and I have a senior dog that has been my companion and has gone everywhere with me for the last 10 years. She is an indoor dog used to be pampered. This is the first time I was unable to take her on a road trip with me. You can imagine my stress, apprehension and uncertainty to leave her with someone I had just met. During my meet and greet session with Drew I had a new sense of reassurance. She listened to me validated me and followed all my instructions. She communicated with me several times a day including photos & videos. Drew was flexible with me during my uncertain schedule. My dog was taken care of very well. Drew was able to adjust to any issues that came up quickly and appropriately. She was also competent & confident administering medication’s as needed for my dog. I would highly recommend Drew for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“I always know that Dexter and Charlie will be well cared for while I’m away and treated just like family. They love playing with and sleeping with the other dogs and are always happy and tired by the time I pick them up. I receive wonderful updates every day, including pictures and videos which show my babies having the time of their lives!”
“Christina took great care of our Stevo and checked in daily with photos and comments to let us know how he was doing. He seemed happy and relaxed (and has been known to be slightly anxious, so that was great to see). In addition, Christina raved about our pup's behavior and how much she was bonding with him. We will definitely reach out to Christina again when we need boarding or daycare for Stevo.”
“Hannah is a wonderful pet sitter. She and her sweet family took good care of my Dolly doggy. She came home tired, but happy. She will be my first choice for Dolly next time I need her looked after and loved.”
“I didn’t know what to expect as this was my 1st boarding of a pet, but Shelley was very upbeat and patient and communicated promptly with me prior to my scheduled drop off day. My experience was hassle-free! The pictures and videos she sent me of my puppy with his new experiences and interactions with other pets, I was relieved. Upon pick up of Koda, everything went very smooth even though I did arrive sooner than I had expected from my trip. If you are looking to board your fur-baby, I highly recommend Shelley!”
“Went way past my expectations as a new customer! She's amazing sent photos of my baby girl playing etc! True pleasure to be working with! Rover scored a great sitter!!! Hands down!”
About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about animals. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet like my own and always try to give them the attention and care they deserve. Additionally, I have a prosthetic leg, which has made me more adaptable, patient, and attentive in everything I do. It’s taught me how to approach situations with care and awareness qualities that carry over into how I care for animals every day. I’m a Tennessee Tech student, and since I don’t have classes in the afternoons, I have a lot of availability to care for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and I like making sure pets stay active, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owner is away. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, fresh water, walks or bathroom breaks, and time to play. I also spend time with them so they feel comfortable and not alone while their owner is away.
About: I’ve spent 25+ years caring for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Living on 17 acres gives plenty of space for safe walks, playtime, and exploring. Whether your pup loves fetch, your cat just wants cuddles, or your reptile needs special attention, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I work from home so I’m usually always around! With 3 kids here everyone pitches in so your pet will always have someone around to care for them! 17 acres for your pets to explore if they like being outdoors. A comfy home indoors for the less adventurous ones! Our house is clean and safe and welcoming to all sort of animals.
“Parker was a fantastic sitter. I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy with him and was confident Parker would keep Huck safe, engaged, and exercised. When I picked him up, it was clear Huck had a fantastic time and was well-taken care of. I'll definitely be rebooking in the future!”
