“Jessica was great! Loved getting the daily pictures and status on Luke! The dog treats and toys were unexpected and loved by me and Luke! It was a relief to know Jessica was coming out to spend time to break up the long days.”
“We recently used Breanna to watch our cats over the Thanksgiving holiday & she was fantastic! She was prompt and timely for the scheduled check-ins & made sure to send communication and picture updates upon checkout. Having her made being out of time a little easier knowing our fur babies were taken care of!”
“Madison exceeded all expectations! Our regular pet sitter had an unexpected emergency right before we left on a two week trip, the longest we’ve ever been away from our two fur babies. Needless to say we were devastated and left scrambling to find a reliable and trustworthy substitution. Madison did a meet and greet beforehand to explain her qualifications, answered any questions we had, and made sure to thoroughly understand the expectations of what we needed done to ensure peace of mind for us. She provided extensive details for us everyday and sent cute pictures of our animals so we could get a glimpse of how they were faring while we were away. She really takes the time to get to know the animals and it is reflected in her outstanding work ethic how much she truly cares. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone needing a sitter. Thank you Madison for providing excellent care for our babies, you made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing there was once less thing to worry about back home!”

About: I totally get how hard it is to leave your pets while you're on vacation—but you won’t have to worry when they’re with me! I have two dogs, two cats, goats, pigs, bunnies, and chickens, so I’m used to caring for all kinds of animals. I'm comfortable with pets of all breeds and sizes, and I can handle complex feeding routines and medications with no problem. Your animals will be loved and well cared for, just like my own! I’m currently a teacher, so I have wide availability during school breaks. During the school year, I’m available on evenings and weekends, and if you're nearby, I may be able to fit in morning visits as well. In your home your pets routine is important so if they need to be kenneled, left out, live outside etc I will abide by that routine.
“Daisy communicated well with me, took pictures and glad to have her take Jack Jack out in my absence. Thank you.”
“What a great experience! Our first visit using Lonie was perfect. She was super responsive and easy to work with. Our home was for sale and we have cats so she gave all of the effort we could have hoped for and more. We were nervous about leaving for ten days with a new sitter but this couldn’t have gone better. I can tell by their behavior that they were comfortable and happy with Lonie. I could not recommend her more.”
About: 1. Puppy Whisperer Extraordinaire - Growing up around all kinds of dogs has made me an expert at understanding their needs and earning their trust from the moment we meet. 2. Personalized Belly Rub Specialist - Each dog gets one-on-one attention, with plenty of playtime and belly rubs to ensure they feel loved and spoiled. 3. AKC German Shepherd Expert - With two pampered honeys of my own, I know the ins and outs of caring for strong, loyal, and energetic dogs. 4. Bath & Grooming Guru - I love making dogs feel fresh and fabulous, including bathing, nail clipping, and brushing. Who says a dog can't be pampered like royalty? (I do not cut their hair) 5. Training and Positive Reinforcement - From basic commands to advanced tricks, I focus on building a strong, positive relationship with every dog through fun and gentle training. 6. Endless Playtime & Adventure Planner - I'm all about high-energy fun! Whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or runs until they're ready for a nap, I ensure your dog has a blast. 7. Water Fun Coordinator - On hot days, I organize splash-tastic water activities that keep pups cool, with lots of updates and pics for owners to enjoy. 8. Trust-Building Maestro - Dogs are my best friends, and I pride myself on forming bonds built on trust, play, and plenty of cuddles. I do have two other dogs in our home. Please refer to the pets section to review more information about them. Between homeschooling my children and being a full-time caretaker, my days are never dull. But I wouldn't have it any other way! When I'm not busy managing lesson plans or planning the next family adventure, you'll find me spoiling the dogs with all the love and attention they deserve. I have plenty of space and time to care for your pup - whether it's offering a cozy stay in my home (must be crate trained), dropping by for a quick play session, dog walking (Although I much enjoy running with them), or giving belly rubs and treats at just the right times. I even offer pick-up and drop-off services for your furry friends depending on the day, so no need to worry about a thing! Caring for your pet fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I'm already juggling, but I absolutely love making time for dogs. After all, who can resist those puppy eyes and wagging tails? At my home, your dog is treated like part of the family. With an acre of fenced-in land, plenty of grass, and trees to explore, two new furry friends they could play along with, they'll have a blast running around and enjoying the great outdoors. Inside, they're free to roam the house and join in on all the family fun when they're not relaxing in their crate after meals to let their bellies settle. I believe in a balanced routine that includes lots of playtime, comfort, and TLC. I take pet care very seriously, so when caring for your dog outside of my home, I always follow your lead. I stick to your instructions to ensure they're receiving the same level of care and attention they would at home. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or simply being their companion while you're away, I'm committed to giving you peace of mind, knowing your dog is in trusted hands. Health & Safety Policy – Skin Conditions & Vaccination Requirements To ensure the health and safety of all dogs in my care, I require all clients to provide up-to-date veterinary documentation confirming the following: • Vaccinations: Dogs must be current on the following vaccines: • Rabies • Parvovirus • Distemper • Bordetella (kennel cough) • Skin Conditions: Any dog showing signs of skin irritation, hair loss, or other dermatological concerns must have veterinary documentation confirming the issue is non-contagious (e.g., allergies rather than mange, mites, or ringworm). This policy is in place to protect all dogs in my care—including my own—and ensure a clean, safe, and healthy environment for everyone. Important: If I don’t receive these records before the booking, I’ll assume they are not current and the session will need to be cancelled. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
“Bibi did a phenomenal job caring for our cat Biscuits while we were on a lengthy trip away from home. She sent daily photos and videos which brought great peace of mind to us knowing our girl was getting exceptional care. Bibi also checked our mail, brought in a ton of packages, and kept our home in perfect condition. I would highly recommend hiring Bibi as your pet sitter if you're looking for one - except I don't want word to get out so she's not available for us!!”
“Haley was fantastic. Love the pictures she sent me Lucy my cat is very standoffish, but she took to Haley right away.”

I highly recommend his services!!”

About: Hi. My name is Kathrine and I’m 33 years old. I work a full time job & I have 2 cats. I need money for knee surgery & thought I would give this a try. I grew up on a farm so I’m accustomed to being around different animals. I’m currently only offering drop ins. If you’re interested please let me know. I take care of my 2 female cats every day. They are the light of my life. I would’ve know what to do without them. I will provide whatever care is needed as best I can. I do have a bad knee so lots of heavy lifting might be difficult.
“I recently used Brooke to keep my cat, Lupin! She was incredibly attentive and sent me multiple updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She went above and beyond and I genuinely feel like she treated my cat as her own!”
About: Having pets myself, I will treat yours with same care/love I give to my own! I’ve had an array of animals growing up, from bunnies to cats to fish to dogs. I was always the go to pet sitter in my neighborhood! My weekly / daily routine is very slow, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care! More of a homebody so this will allow to get out more! I will care for your pets that same as I care for mine. Plenty of playing/attention/cuddling. Your pets needs are of the highest priority when they’re in my care.
About: My mom and I have spent the last 5 or 6 years adopting dogs in dire need from the shelter. We’ve taken in many senior dogs, bonded pairs, special needs dogs, and strays. It is very important to me that these animals receive the care that they deserve. I’m more than excited to help families and parents when they need someone to watch or walk their fur babies <3. I’m a barista as well as a full time college student so it makes sense to have a side hustle like this that I’m also passionate about! I live in Giles County, and am able to drive to several surrounding counties for pet care whenever I am available! I create a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of toys, cozy sleeping areas, and regular playtime. I follow a consistent feeding schedule and ensure they get their regular walks and exercise. In the client's home, I maintain their routine, provide companionship, and keep the home tidy. I also give lots of love and attention to make sure they feel happy and secure.
About: I take care of dogs and cats everyday from my house to other people that I know houses sometimes when I have time to do I'm actually doing this full time so I will have all the time In the world for dog or even cat sitting during the week I would like the weekends off but I could fit something in on the weekends if it was serious My dogs are pretty smart so they know not to leave the yard but I ran around and play with them outside on a nice day and sometimes even let them go swimming with me
