“Amber was very communicative and showed an interest in my babies (3 cats). She cared for my pets and home as she would her own. I would definitely recommend her and hope to have her care for my pets again.”
“Brittany was super communicative and great with my cats, sending us videos of the cats everyday and giving updates on them! I’ll definitely use hire next time we’re out of town!!”
“"Excellent Dog Sitter!" I couldn't be more pleased with the care my puppy received! Morgan went above and beyond to make sure my little one was well taken care of. She was incredibly professional, kept us updated regularly, and even sent us pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how she accommodated us on such short notice—truly a lifesaver! We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my puppy!”
About: Growing up, my wife has taken care of many dogs both at home and professionally at vet offices. In 2019, She opened up an at home boarding services where we had experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages. We cared for a lot of older senior dogs as well as blind and hearing impaired canines. I am almost always available. Pet care just about naturally fits into my core daily routine. I'm an early riser and always have been, my cat rarely lets me sleep in. I have a large fenced yard and a shaded porch with a fan in the backyard. I am willing to allow trained and non-aggressive dogs stay in my home, if that's what the dog or the client might like or prefer. Your dogs will be free to roam but supervised. Free walks no matter the length of stay, just bring a leash and collar your dogs love.
“Was so great! On time, and was interactive with my pups! Made sure to give them attention and make sure they had all they needed before leaving and ending the drop in. Will definitely use for whatever I need in the future!”
“I could not have asked for a better care taker of my kitty than Casey! It was the first time I’ve ever left him alone and used a sitter - and a Casey calmed my nerves right away with a meet and greet! My (normally shy) cat took to her immediately- she has the calmest energy! I also received daily photos of videos while away which was so thoughtful of her - she went the extra mile the entire duration of the booking! Thank you so much Casey for taking care of my baby!”
About: I have three amazing doodles, who are aged between 2 and 4. Having the flexibility of working from home, allows your dog to have more pet walks throughout the busy days! I work from home, so I have a lot of availability. I can take breaks to walk your furry baby multiple times a day. They will love the extra outdoor time. I am able to take care of your furry friends in your own house or within our fenced backyard. We live on .3 acres and have three amazing doodles.
“Absolutely amazing! My dog had an impacted anal gland right before I needed to leave that required antibiotics and etc. He was very well taken care of while I was away and I had plenty of pictures! I also have a cat that was well cared for! Thank you so much for your drop ins they were a life saver and I appreciate y’all so much! 10/10 recommend every-time!”
“Michael was great with taking care of Phife last minute. We appreciated the thought check-ins and messages and felt very informed after each visit. Thanks again Michael!”
“Tanya is reliable, professional and most of all wonderful with your pets. We have 3 very different dogs and she handled them like a pro. I can’t say enough good things about her. Truly a great person and we are so happy to have found someone we trust and is so great with our dogs!”
“Stephanie is amazing!! She had communication the whole time, before, during and after. She sent me pictures of all the puppies (ages 13yrs, 8yrs, and 7yrs) eating, being snuggled, and when they were tucked back in for the evening. All doors were locked and everything was clean and as I left it. I will absolutely hire her in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Laurie was great! This was my first time to have someone watch my dog since he has become a senior dog. Laurie made me feel comfortable leaving Marley in her care. She was on time and successful in giving Marley his meds. I enjoyed reading her messages and seeing Marleys pictures when she stopped by. I would definitely like to have her watch Marley again in the future if she is available.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals all my life. I am a huge animal lover! I have a mini Schnauzer, Benny who just turned 14 and 3 cats, Sylvester, Harley Quinn, and Chip. I have a job that allows me a flexible schedule to fit your last minute needs. I am available weekdays and weekends to love on your babies! I know allowing a caregiver in your home can be stressful. I will treat your home and pets with care and go above and beyond to meet your and their needs.
“Mariah was great with the dogs. She went as far as hand feeding them when they went on a short lived hunger strike. She sent photos and videos. Will definitely be requesting her to sit for me again.”
About: As a pet sitter, I've had the opportunity to care for various types of dogs and cats. I have experience in providing basic care like feeding, walking, and playtime, as well as administering medication if needed. I'm also skilled in handling different temperaments and ensuring the safety and well-being of the pets under my care. So, you can trust me to provide top-notch pet sitting services! 🐾🐶🐱 I am a soon to be cosmetology school graduate. While I am looking for a job in a salon I would love to quit my serving job and be a pet sitter full time. Serving is not bringing joy to my life anymore so I would love to give all my time to taking care of pets. I will always follow instructions to keep your babies safe. I will always keep them on a leash in public areas and keep them fenced in or crated when at home.

Katherine J.
“Kate is without question a responsible and caring pet lover. In 2012 while a recent graduate from TCU in Fort Worth, Texas she obtained a personal pet "Benny - Mini Schnauzer" Kate immediately began an in depth training program leading to assisting a highly decorated Fort Worth Dog Trainer with others pets. This led Kate to gaining numerous Obedience Training awards and further recognition. At home Kate provides a carefully orchestrated program for her Mini and three cats. Therefore I'm confident that obvious love our pets and strict dedication to their health and well being, makes it a pleasure to heartily recommend Kate Jones as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
