“Erin and her family are fantastic with our senior dog and energetic cat. Our 14-year old lab loves going to Erin's, and we get peace of mind that he's cared for when we are away. The proof for us is his demeanor when we pick him up: cheerful and excited, even on "bad" days due to his health.”
“My pup loooved hanging with Ashleigh and her pets. He seemed to have a great time, and Ashleigh was great at supporting his needs and keeping me informed. Thank you for your help!”
“Emily took great care with our dog Amigo. He was very happy there and you can tell she has a great knowledge about dogs. Would definitely take him back for another stay.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“My pup had a great time on Krystal’s farm. The kids were very sweet with her and she loved playing with the other dogs. Perfect place for a high energy, outdoor dog. Mine came home exhausted and ready for a bath!”
“Hailey and her family were so friendly, kind, and easy to work with. We met ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and Hailey was so thorough and asked great questions, which gave me a lot of confidence in leaving Willow with them. Willow had the best time while we were away. We will definitely book with Hailey again the next time we need a sitter.”
About: Ive been taking care of animals such as dogs, cats, and even critters since I was just a little kid up until now at 19 years old. Ive dedicated most of my life and time to take care of animals all over whether its just my neighbors or a homeless critter off the streets to provide quality care and affection since every animal is deserving of it even those who struggle with health, behavior health, ptsd because they are especially deserving of adequate care and love! I would be honored to watch over your loved one, in return it helps me with my degree for college working in animal behavioral health, aswell as animal health in general. Im also a big runner/walker and average 20,000 steps every day so if your critter is adventurous or even a couch potato im hands on with the experience! I look forward to working with you! 😊 Im currently disabled so Im not working at all aside from doing online college from home. Every day I spend some time getting out of the house while doing work from my phone to average my daily activity. I spend a lot of time volunteering for the community at AA meetings, feeding the homeless, animal homelessness, food banks, etc to help around the neighborhood. Im moving to ohio to finish my treatment at the cleveland clinic organ transplant center in order to do that I need to be able to make income and what better way to do that then working with critters ive loved my whole life! I have a gated community inside where my apartment sits just close to Triangle Center. It would be very difficult for any animal to get loose because the fences are metal and taller than a 6ft man to prevent any break ins or even break outs in your case! My home is inspected every other month to make sure the environment is healthy and hazardous free, lots of free space and importantly scent, and smoke free! I suffer from some health issues aswell as family so its important there isn't much fragrance in the home, aswell as it being kept clean and in shape for easy access around the house and preventing sickness. Medicine is stored and locked away aswell as any hazardous objects to prevent accidents from occurring.
“Thank you, Todd, for taking such good care of our girl! The updates were very much appreciated. The pictures were nice clear pictures of Noel and you took care to take heed of every detail of her needs while she was with you. We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”
“We left our 15 year old Westie with Mary and her husband and we couldn't be more pleased. The pictures and comments she sent us showed him interacting with other dogs, or resting peacefully - seems like just the kind of week he would have asked for while we were away! I appreciate their dealing with all of my instructions for what he likes to eat and when, and the care they took regarding his medications. We will definitely use Mary again!”
“We left our goldendoodle pup with her for a few days while we were out of town and she did so well with him! He loved playing with her pup all day and Trinity made sure to keep me informed of how he was doing :) 100% recommend!”
“Robert was great with my dogs. They had a nice place to sleep and play. I think they thought they were on vacation. He was very thoughtful about making the dogs feel at home. Will definitely bring them back again!”
About: I have trained my dogs for the last 10 years, I have bathed and clipped my dog and cats nails for 10 years, friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for over 20 years. I currently am a stay at home mom which allows me to pay more attention to animals in my care. I currently take my dog to the dog park multiple times a week along with walks daily to help keep her active and healthy. Adding your fur friend will be an added bonus for us. I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to watch them in my clients house, this also helps with the stress the pet may feel with being with a stranger.
“Raegan is wonderful! She has an extensive knowledge of animals and an obvious love for them. She gave me such peace of mind while my puppy was in her care. Definitely will use her again!”
“Tanaisa was an amazing host for my dog DK! She watched him for a week and I honestly think he was sad to leave her. Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be asking if she can watch my dog again in the future!”

I have experience working with: - Reactive and anxious dogs - High-energy dogs - Senior dogs needing extra patience and monitoring - Dogs requiring medication administration - Dogs with unique personalities and behavioral needs My background in healthcare has helped me develop strong observation skills, patience, attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. Safety, cleanliness, routine, and communication are extremely important to me, and I take pride in making sure every pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I also focus heavily on enrichment and preventing boredom through supervised play, mental stimulation, structured activities, and individualized attention — because a tired dog is a happy dog. 🐾 At Pawshank Redemption, we specialize in “breaking dogs out of boredom” while keeping your inmate safe, entertained, and cared for every step of the way.

I provide updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured while away. At Pawshank Redemption, the goal is simple: keep your inmate safe, comfortable, entertained, and loved until parole pickup. 🐾

Cat caregivers near you - Kelso
“Joyce is really easy to work with and conscientious. I appreciated her flexibility. Most importantly, my cats were happy when I got home and everything was in order.”
“Zander did a great job sitting Molly, our elderly cat. He is so sweet with her, gives her scratches and loves, and is attentive to the routine we outlined. We are very happy to have found him!”
About: I have given all different types of medications. I have stayed up all hours of the night to spoon feed/bottle feed. I am good at reading cat body language and can see most signs of discomfort.
“Gloria looked after our two cats and our house while we were away in Asia. She took excellent care of both the kitties and our house! I could tell our kitties liked her, too! She sent photos so we could see that they were doing well, which was reassuring since we were so far away. Our cat BJ snuggled with Gloria like she was family, and our other cat Graycie, who hides from all strangers, came out of hiding :-). Gloria also took good care of our house, watered my plants, and even respected my request that meat not be cooked in my kitchen (I am vegan). When we returned, the cats were just fine, their litter boxes were clean, and they had plenty of food and water. It is so nice to know that our "babies" were being well cared for while we were so far away. I definitely recommend Gloria!”
“Kortni is the best pet sitter I could’ve asked for! Her clear love for animals shines through when you see her interact with your pet. My cat is usually very shy, but not towards her! Instant friends upon meeting. For any of my pet needs in the future, I will be booking with Kortni! :)”
“Veronica was very communicative and sent me consistent updates/pictures of my kitties while I was out of the country. She even went as far as getting a new bag of litter before I returned to save me the effort since the litter was low. She also gave my spicy cat the space he required and all the pets/loves on my more social cat. I will definitely book Veronica again in the future.”
“Kate helped us out last minute, and we were so grateful. Minnie takes a little time to warm up and Biggs is very needy, so they can be a lot sometimes. I would definitely recommend her, and we’ll reach out to her the next time we need someone.”
“Hannah was so helpful taking care of our 4 cats for a brief trip! She was very reliable, available at the requested time, and did all the tasks we asked of her. She was also patient with our one shy cat who preferred to just hide from Hannah when she visited. Thanks Hannah, I hope to use you in the future :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kelso

About: Military Veteran | Lifelong Animal Lover Hello! My name is Kortni, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 8, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to dogs, cats, and even fish. My experience comes from both personal ownership and working alongside professional trainers, always with the goal of providing well-rounded, compassionate care. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to have a few incredible opportunities to work with military working dogs—an experience that deepened my respect for animal intelligence, discipline, and emotional needs. Now that I’ve recently transitioned out of the military, I’m taking time to reconnect with the things I love most: animals, nature, and a slower pace of life. That also means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pet’s unique needs—whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or sticking to a specific routine. This is my passion, and what I do for work. I currently have an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd at home who’s the biggest spoiled lap dog you’ll ever meet. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Special diet? Specific routine? Just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!
“I can’t thank Cynthia enough for the exceptional care she took of our pups on very short notice. Great communication and updates, and they had a blast. I highly recommend working with her!”
“Erin was awesome at accommodating my crazy hours the last 6 months I’ve been in the area for work. I know Pablo will miss both her human and animal kids. Thank you so much!!!!”
“We are so lucky to have found Pamela! Great communication from beginning to end. She took amazing care of my Benny and was kind and patient with this new experience! 10/10 Great job! We will schedule with Pamela again soon!”
“Mikki was absolutely great! She took the time to have a few meet ups with our puppy to make sure everyone got along well, and she had the patience of a saint for dealing with a puppy with all her quirks. We will definitely be reaching out and booking again for future sitting needs.”

“Trinity is very kind, gentle and responsible. She took great care of my puppy. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave a pet with her. She seems like a really great person who will go far and do well.”
“I highly recommend Annie if you are looking for pet daycare. From the moment my wife and I met Annie we knew that Whimsy would be well taken care. We went to an amusement park for the day and Annie kept us up to speed on status and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. When we are back in the area we will most definitely use her services again.”

About: I have loved cat and dogs since I was 5, I have taken care of them since I was about 6. I love animals and want to make sure that they feel loved and safe when I am with them. Though I am a full time student in college, I am able to take care of animals as often as needed. Your fur baby is my priority. I have 3 cats in my home. One is very child-like (loves to be held like an infant), another wants you to play toss-the-toy as often as possible, and another is food-obsessed. All are indoors. I give them all love when they ask for it. They are fed twice a day. Litter boxes are changed every other day. I used to have a pupper, but she passed away back in 2020. I fed her special cancer-fighting foods (safe for dogs) daily, took her on walks/daily outings, provided lots of fetch/toy time, and maintained daily fur/skin care routines. Your baby is safe with me; they will be well-loved and looked after!

“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“My pup had a great time on Krystal’s farm. The kids were very sweet with her and she loved playing with the other dogs. Perfect place for a high energy, outdoor dog. Mine came home exhausted and ready for a bath!”
“Hailey and her family were so friendly, kind, and easy to work with. We met ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and Hailey was so thorough and asked great questions, which gave me a lot of confidence in leaving Willow with them. Willow had the best time while we were away. We will definitely book with Hailey again the next time we need a sitter.”
About: Ive been taking care of animals such as dogs, cats, and even critters since I was just a little kid up until now at 19 years old. Ive dedicated most of my life and time to take care of animals all over whether its just my neighbors or a homeless critter off the streets to provide quality care and affection since every animal is deserving of it even those who struggle with health, behavior health, ptsd because they are especially deserving of adequate care and love! I would be honored to watch over your loved one, in return it helps me with my degree for college working in animal behavioral health, aswell as animal health in general. Im also a big runner/walker and average 20,000 steps every day so if your critter is adventurous or even a couch potato im hands on with the experience! I look forward to working with you! 😊 Im currently disabled so Im not working at all aside from doing online college from home. Every day I spend some time getting out of the house while doing work from my phone to average my daily activity. I spend a lot of time volunteering for the community at AA meetings, feeding the homeless, animal homelessness, food banks, etc to help around the neighborhood. Im moving to ohio to finish my treatment at the cleveland clinic organ transplant center in order to do that I need to be able to make income and what better way to do that then working with critters ive loved my whole life! I have a gated community inside where my apartment sits just close to Triangle Center. It would be very difficult for any animal to get loose because the fences are metal and taller than a 6ft man to prevent any break ins or even break outs in your case! My home is inspected every other month to make sure the environment is healthy and hazardous free, lots of free space and importantly scent, and smoke free! I suffer from some health issues aswell as family so its important there isn't much fragrance in the home, aswell as it being kept clean and in shape for easy access around the house and preventing sickness. Medicine is stored and locked away aswell as any hazardous objects to prevent accidents from occurring.
“Thank you, Todd, for taking such good care of our girl! The updates were very much appreciated. The pictures were nice clear pictures of Noel and you took care to take heed of every detail of her needs while she was with you. We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”
“We left our 15 year old Westie with Mary and her husband and we couldn't be more pleased. The pictures and comments she sent us showed him interacting with other dogs, or resting peacefully - seems like just the kind of week he would have asked for while we were away! I appreciate their dealing with all of my instructions for what he likes to eat and when, and the care they took regarding his medications. We will definitely use Mary again!”
“We left our goldendoodle pup with her for a few days while we were out of town and she did so well with him! He loved playing with her pup all day and Trinity made sure to keep me informed of how he was doing :) 100% recommend!”
“Robert was great with my dogs. They had a nice place to sleep and play. I think they thought they were on vacation. He was very thoughtful about making the dogs feel at home. Will definitely bring them back again!”
About: I have trained my dogs for the last 10 years, I have bathed and clipped my dog and cats nails for 10 years, friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for over 20 years. I currently am a stay at home mom which allows me to pay more attention to animals in my care. I currently take my dog to the dog park multiple times a week along with walks daily to help keep her active and healthy. Adding your fur friend will be an added bonus for us. I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to watch them in my clients house, this also helps with the stress the pet may feel with being with a stranger.
“Raegan is wonderful! She has an extensive knowledge of animals and an obvious love for them. She gave me such peace of mind while my puppy was in her care. Definitely will use her again!”
“Tanaisa was an amazing host for my dog DK! She watched him for a week and I honestly think he was sad to leave her. Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be asking if she can watch my dog again in the future!”
“Kelsey was super kind and accommodating, since it was a last minute request. She sent us updates and pics and was flexible on the pick up time , we were driving so that changed a little bit. Thank you for taking care of our Mica for us!”
