“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She was professional and took amazing care of my pups (and fish) while we were out of town. Before her overnight stay she even came to meet me and the pups and brought them treats. I have no doubt they were well taken care of and will absolutely use her devices again in the future!”
2. Colleen O.
“Colleen watched our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She sent us photos to show how they were doing while we were gone and took excellent care of our brood. She definitely is an animal lover and I trust her completely to take care of our fur babies.”
3. Scotti H.
“Scotti was incredible with our dogs. We booked her for a overnight stay and she kept our two big dogs calm and happy, we came home and they were so well behaved and happy. We will be booking with Scotti any chance I can!”
4. Khali N.
“Khali was a great sitter. She was very communicative and was understanding and attentive to my dog's particular needs. She just so clearly loves animals. I would definitely book her again.”
5. Arianna G.
“Arianna house-sat for me, my dog, and my cat while I was out of town for work. The animals seemed to love her, including my rather aloof cat (which says a lot). She communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures of my boys. 100% would rebook any time!”
6. Alexis W.
“Alexis was friendly and helpful with my dog and with my pet chickens. Thorough and thoughtful and authentic. Great sitter that actually spends time with your pup!”
7. Tillisa C.
“Tillisa is just wonderful. The way she cares about every detail shows dedication, love and respect to her job. I believe for her is more than a job and I shows. Lana my cat loves her and this means the world to me. Thank you!!!”
8. Alec B.
“Alec was amazing! He was great at communicating and sending pictures of our two dogs. He made sure they were fed, taken out routinely and loved on. He also left our house cleaner than we left it! I would highly recommend Alec to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
9. Jeremy W.
“Jeremy did a great job. We had some communication issues at first but we got those worked out. He even watered my plants for me and made sure the outside chickens and geese had water while we were gone. Our dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. <3”
10. Noah Z.
“Noah did a great job with my dog! She has a very strict routine and generally gets very anxious if it isn't followed. Noah followed her routine exactly and kept me updated with lots of pictures along the way. When I got back she was so relaxed and happy!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years while working at a doggy daycare. My skillset ranges from distributing medications to ensuring dietary needs are always met! I have worked with senior dogs and puppies alike. I understand the importance of routine, affection, safe play, and creating a loving environment for your pup. I can’t wait to give your dog the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I am available 7 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I am only available on weekends or breaks. You can check my calendar for details. I can provide walking, playtime, dog-sitting, and more! Your pup will always be seen every 2-4 hours in my care! I have a friendly little girl named Cookie and 2 cats who mind their own business. I prefer to take care of dogs inside of their home, but I am able to bring a dog to my house! I take my pup out every 2 hours and she is always playing. I will make sure your pet gets the same love and attention!

“Skye did great with Fennick and Nova! She house sat for me for a night while I had to go out of town. My dogs love her, and she took very good care of them. She did a great with my two very hyper pups, and I plan in using her services again. I would definitely recommend her!”
14. Akyia C.
“If you are looking for someone that is passionate about animals then look no further. Akyia C. is much like a fur whisperer and is able to engage with them on a whole new level. Akyia has provided fun and exciting exercises for my fur babies that not only get them off the lazy chair but stimulates their mind.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid! I have 3 of my own. I’m very aware of the specific care each animals needs. I’m familiar with giving medications and keeping on a set schedule. I have 2 pets of my own so I know how important it is to keep them on a schedule. I’m also familiar with giving medication, food and other needs. If you have any specific needs please don’t hesitate to tell me! I can crate your dogs, walk them, play with them and keep them company.
