Personalized care for your dog or cat - Spooner

“We had Sarah watch our pups for a few days while we went camping. She was great with them and kept us updated and sent photos of them adjusting to her place. Already have another boarding scheduled with her in a few weeks. Would recommend her for your pups!”

“I was very nervous leaving our two dogs, "the girls". They have never been watched by anyone but family. Harley was so kind and friendly and the girls loved her immediately. When Inpicked them up they were very happy and excited to see me but also wanted to run around and show me the yard and love on Harley too. we are very grateful to have found her!”

About: Hello! I'll get right to it, I'm a dog trainer specializing in building members of the family. I am also a CGC Evaluator (Canine Good Citizen), so if you're looking for someone to help you throughout that process or if you're confident in your doggo and are ready to test, I'm your guy! I'm also a member as well as a Tester and Observer for The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. So if you end up getting an itch to volunteer, I will be able to certify and guide your team along the way! Assuming you pass our test that is 😉 Now as a travelling trainer I sometimes take on a few extra gigs like this to make ends meet. My personal dog Buddha is a service dog who has passed the PAT (Public Access Test). He is also a registered Therapy Dog through: The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We are insured through the: Business Insurers of the Carolinas. He has the following titles: DN (Dock Diving Novice), FDG (Fit Dog Gold and below), TKP (Trick Canine Performer and below), VHM (Virtual Home Manners), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), CGCA (Canine Good Citizen Advanced), CGCU (Canine Good Citizen Urban), THDN (Therapy Dog) and THD (Therapy Dog). Buddha is now almost 5 yrs old. I also offer a stud service with Buddha if anyone is interested we can talk details through text, call, email, or Meet and. Greet style. What I'm saying is that if you'd like we could talk about my services as a trainer as well and I could show you and your little buddy some fun things to do, or perhaps help on something that has been a struggle. Whether it's a new obstacle or an older persistent one, we can overcome it. I free lance as a Pet Trainer and Respite Care Provider. We also work odd jobs for people in town so our schedule is always workable. I’ll have my daughter (almost driving age) with me on a 50/50 schedule as well as I have a service dog for myself. We can talk about this more should we get to that point! Depending on your comfort level, I’ll sometimes work with my girlfriend (also a sitter on Rover) to help complete gigs as well. She will occasionally have her two boys (16 & 14) with her as well. I understand this can be “a lot” so we’d all be more than willing to meet up beforehand to make sure everything would jive and fit together! How ever you instruct. Otherwise we feed, walk, play, and rest at specific times. Pets need and do well with structure. Putting together a good positive routine sets our fluffy buddies up for success.

“Olivia was great! She went out of her way to meet our boarding needs. We highly recommend her. Thanks Olivia!”

“Arranging a stay with Sherry for our doggie was easy and flexible. We truly appreciate all the time and care she gave Loki, just like he was accustomed to at home. We had continuous updates via text daily, he went on many walks, played with toys...Sherry is the best, highly recommended!”

“Tyler and Sophia did a great job with Saydee . They gave us frequent updates and pictures with the week long stay. Would use them again”

About: I’m experienced in senior and medical care, multiple animal care, providing a fun time, and so much more. I have two of my own dogs and a couple cats that are all spoiled. I would love to spoil yours! Monday-Friday I am available to care for animals throughout the whole day. Animals play a huge role in my everyday life and I would enjoy caring for yours. Either in my home or a clients home the animals needs come first. A schedule is set and maintained the entire duration of the stay to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my own home they are kept separate from my resident pets to minimize stress on all animals. Although if owner is comfortable all resident animals are very friendly.

“Nicole provides exceptional care and attention to detail for our four cats when we travel. Each cat had a distinctly different personality, and she caters to all of their needs (and antics). Her photos of the cats are awesome, and her updates make us feel as if we were there. We cannot express enoigh how much peace of mind she brings when we travel.”

Kristine B.

“Stacy is fantastic! She spent a lot of time with my two spoiled kitties. One kitty is VERY active and needs a lot of play and they both eat a raw diet which is trickier than other cat food options. Stacy handled that plus litterboxes, etc. I will totally book her again!”

Jaye M.

“Breanna was great with our puppy!”

Julie M.

“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”

About: I have had multiple dogs my entire life, & multiple cats. I currently have a mini Australian Shepherd at home & a grey cat! My golden retriever husky recently passed, but I have lots of experience with puppies & hyper dogs! I just have classes at UK, so lots of free time outside of class time! I am free on weekends & love to care for pets & love going on walks with dogs:) I have lots of training experience, & have even raised my own puppy & kitten from a very young age. I am also a very clean & organized person.

“With only one day notice, Harley was able to watch our 2 dogs for us while we went to a family event out of town, plus accommodated us by allowing an early morning drop off! She and her own fur babies ( both large dogs that she told us looked intimidating, but were friendly ) greeted us and she was very welcoming and calm as her dogs and ours met for the first time! Fenced in yard was nice for our peace of mind. That evening our dogs were happy and tired out after a day of playing! Thanks Harley!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has owned and cared for four dogs since I was young. I understand how important pets are to families and treat every dog with patience, attention, and kindness. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your dog’s routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work part time, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, and longer stays, giving your dog plenty of playtime, cuddles, and praise while ensuring consistent care. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I provide a secure, supervised environment, follow all instructions carefully, and give your pet love, attention, and reliable care at all times.

About: Between the two of us, my wife and I have over 50 years of combined experience caring for animals. We both grew up in homes filled with pets — dogs, cats, and a few other critters — and from a young age, it was our responsibility to feed, train, walk, and care for them every day. Now, as a married couple of six years, we share our home with two happy, healthy dogs who are a huge part of our family. We understand what it takes to keep pets safe, comfortable, and loved — whether that means daily walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Your pets will be treated like part of our family — with the same love, attention, and care we give our own. ❤️ We are home 7 days a week all the time (except for errands here and there). Dogs are able to go out whenever they need either to go potty and burn some energy We offer a safe, loving home where every pet is treated like family. Outdoor time is always supervised on leash, and crate care is available if preferred.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I have been taught from a young age the best and most effective way to take care of your pet. I know each furry friend has an owner that loves them very much and so I always treat each pet as if they were my own. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and interact with your pet. Pets need love and attention and that is very important to me. I have a fenced in yard and I make sure each dog is properly cared for and has the play and toys they need to be super happy.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a young girl. Love all animals big and small. Enjoy cuddling, playing and grooming. I use positive reinforcement training. I have a small hobby farm and use to caring for my different types of animals. I am also very comfortable caring for special needs and pregnant pets as well. Let me care for your pet kids. I am currently a stay at home mom but kids are older so looking to fill my time. I have a very flexible schedule and willing to do in home or drop in care I have a fenced in area for my dogs to play in. I require my dogs to be leashed unless they are recalled trained. Safety and security is my 1st priority

“I highly recommend Harley! I started using her services in Jan of 2026 to let my senior Boxer out once a week and have had great service ever since. My dog, Oscar, loves when she comes over for a walk and snuggles. Harley spends 30 minutes with him to break up a long work day. It's nice to know I can text her when needed and she's able to accomodate my needs. Thanks Harley!!!”
