“Strongly recommend Emaculada (Max) to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to care for their fur babies. She is genuine, caring and just a really great person.”

About: I was a dog trainer with Sit Means Sit - Licking Valley. I’ve been training since June 2025 but have been taking care of dogs since I was in my early teens. My family has always trusted me to care for their animals when they’re away. I’ve worked with all different ages of dogs from 2 months to 13yrs old. Pet care fits in my daily routine with my dog, mocha, we get up no later than 630a through the week to get her started with her day. Then I head to work training all sorts of dogs, we don’t turn away any dogs no matter the breed. I don’t currently plan on boarding dogs or bringing them into my home for a couple of different reasons; my dog, Mocha can be very dog reactive and I don’t want to disrupt her safe space. The other reason being I rent my home currently and can’t take the risk of something happening.

“Camryn did an amazing job. She followed instructions and provided cute pictures of our pets daily. It was a stress free and no hassle service. I highly recommend and would hire Camryn for all my pet-sitting needs.”


“I don’t leave reviews but Kayla went way above and beyond for me dealing with my dog getting sick and cleaning it and handling my injured dogs bandages coming off and reapplying them for me! I couldn’t give more praise to her and wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you want the best care for you’re pet!”


About: I worked on a rescue for 6 years and also at a dog daycare/grooming center. So I am very comfortable around any breed and being around multiple dogs at once. Every breed of dogs is welcome in my heart. I currently work first shift Monday-Thursday. I do have a 5 year old son so prefer dogs that are good with kids. I am free during the evening and weekends and can do overnights. I like to take my dog on walks or hikes. There’s always constant cuddles and affection from me or my son. I allow dogs on my furniture. I’ve also taken care of dogs in a strict diet that need insulin and medication at a certain time.

About: I am responsible, respectful, and reliable. I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’m not going to let you down. I am semi retired and available most days. I do have some physical limitations, but we can address them as needed if that would be an issue. I can just let them out and check for food and water, I can take them for a walk, and I can work with special needs. The idea is that you feel comfortable knowing that you’re pet is safe and happy.

About: I am an active sitter that enjoys walks and wants your dog to be distracted while you are away! I grew up with cats and love them just as much. I work as a coach and have time throughout the day in the offseason to come over and walk your dog if needed. In the summer, we are off contract and have plenty of opportunities to help. I have a very needy Doberman so we take walks in the morning and evening every day. I also come home for lunch to make sure he can get outside.

About: My passion for any and all animals has always been a huge cornerstone of my life. I’ve learned when it comes to taking care of my own pets but also my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years, during the day and overnight, what’s been the most important aspect of this work, is having integrity and loving the pets as I would my own. I’m currently working mornings and early afternoons at a groomers. I’m typically available anytime after 4pm weekdays and available all day during Saturday and Sunday. I have a dog and cats of my own so your babies will be in good company! There is a lovely walking trail beside my residence I take my dog for walks on everyday if taking care at my residence. If taking care at your residence I will utilize all normal routines the babies are used to everyday.

“Jamie is so good at pet sitting that my dog still looks at the door, every time someone opens it. She was so good with my older dog and all her needs that there is no other pet sitter for me. Jamie is GREAT!”
