“Jane was great to work with! She was accommodating to our schedule and welcomed our pup with open arms. We received daily updates and felt at ease when she watched Bergen for four days. I would highly recommend her to others!”


“We left our puppy in the best home. Kim sent photos for us so we could see her everyday with messages about what she was doing. Joey, our puppy, was thrilled to see us but was happy to have a few minutes playing before we took her home. As a bonus, Kim had given Joey a bath before we picked her up, I didn’t expect that. Most of all, she treated Joey like she was her own. Who could ask nor more. We will be back.”


About: I have been around animals since I was a little girl. Being raised on a 160 acre farm that includes.... horses, mules, dogs, cats and goats. I know animals are not just our “pets” but they are our family! I know what it’s like to be away at work or vacation and concerned if your dog is okay. Rest assured they would be in caring hands with me! I love to send photos/updates. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but I’m available in the evenings (5pm to 9pm) and anytime on the weekends to help care for your doggos! I own my home and live in a subdivision, I do have a backyard but it is currently not fenced in. For this reason I’ve been prioritize more drop in visits for people and staying at your home instead of mine. Although with the right situation/pet, animals are welcome to stay at my home!

“I wish i could give her 10 stars! She is so good with my Charlie. Sends me updates and pictures throughout each day and helps calm my anxiety. When Charlie sees her she goes wild. I know that my little doggie loves her and she is safe when she is with her. She is the absolute best!”


“My dog, Rosie loved staying with Samantha! She got to play with her dogs and had a fun time. I also got a photo and video during her stay to make sure she was doing great. Definitely recommend her😊”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life—cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. From playful Yorkies to gentle giants like Saint Bernards, I’ve loved and cared for them all. Whether your pet needs active playtime, like my GoldenDoodle or just some couch cuddles and company, like my Golden Retriever, I’ve got it covered. I’m confident, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs and quirks. You can relax knowing your pet is in loving, experienced hands. I’m currently enrolled in college courses, having class Monday and Wednesday for a few short hours. I’m free most days/overnight, unless I have prior obligations and that’ll be updated in my calander weekly. I have a fenced in yard and 2 doggies who are the perfect mixture of playful/cuddle bugs. My dogs do not stay in a crate but if that’s what your pup is most comfortable with, then we can absolutely do that! I have someone to watch my dogs if I am staying in your home. So I would not bring them with me, unless your furry friend wants a buddy to play with.

About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what you’re after or stay in and play “hide the treats in blankets.” Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods

About: With years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving, and personalized care. I specialize in working with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. From giving medication to managing special diets, I’m confident and calm under any situation. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly build trust with animals, even the shy or anxious ones. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m fully available every day of the week, which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care whenever you need it. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute drop offs, I can adapt to your pet’s routine and give them the love and attention they’re used to getting at home. Their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet friendly environment where routines are followed, and every pet gets the individual attention they deserve. From feeding schedules to walks and medication. In my home, pets have a clean, secure space to relax, play, and feel at ease, with constant supervision and zero overcrowding. I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved at all times.

About: Being raised in a home full of animals/small farm, I have such a huge heart for dogs ❤️ Our 3 are my babies and I will treat yours with the same care! I work from home majority of the time throughout the week. Additionally, when away, I work nearby our home, with a flexible schedule and availability. We have a large yard and space around our home. We ensure safety by taking the dogs out on a leash and implementing frequent walks.

Sweden C.
“If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet like family, look no further than Sweden. I’ve known her for years, and she is truly one of the most caring, trustworthy, and animal-loving people I’ve ever met. Sweden has a natural connection with animals, dogs and cats instantly feel comfortable around her. Whether she’s going on long walks, playing fetch in the yard, or just giving belly rubs and snuggles, she gives every pet the attention and affection they deserve. She’s also incredibly responsible and communicative. You’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in loving, capable hands. If I had to leave my pet with anyone, it would be Sweden, no question. She’s the kind of person who shows up on time, pays attention to the little things, and truly treats your pet like her own. You (and your pet) will be so lucky to have her!”
