“Missy was great with our 2 cats while we were away! I was worried about our older cat because she has recently been finicky about food but Missy kept me informed and up to date on everything! She was super responsive, sent photos and updates while I was gone and the cats were happy and the house looked great when we returned! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets whether is be midday checks or while your away. Her animal care knowledge and attention to detail made me feel very comfortable while we were gone.”


“Troy was great with our dog for the 3 days we needed him this week! He went above and beyond the expected drop-in visits. Captain loved the time spent with Troy playing fetch, getting belly rubs and being his usual goofy self. We will be sure to use Troy when we need go away on vacation again or even a long weekend.”


“Emily instills a lot of confidence in her judgment on how to interact with our pup who can be skidding at times. She was comfortable and knowledgeable and we look forward to her working w Eva more in future.”

“Moon did a great job with my girls. She is prompt and keeps in communication well. I love the pictures she provided so I can see my girls while I’m away. I would definitely recommend Moon. Thank you Moon🐾♥️🐾”


About: With over a decade of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’ve worked at a professional dog kennel and a grooming salon, where I gained valuable skills in handling dogs in both high-energy and sensitive environments. From daily care routines to recognizing behavior cues, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that keeps pets comfortable and happy. I’ve also spent the past 10 years raising my own dog, giving me first-hand experience in everything from puppy training to senior care. Whether your pet needs structured attention or just a loving companion while you’re away, I provide reliable, knowledgeable, and heartfelt care. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I’m able to give pets my full attention and be there whenever they need care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where routines are respected and every animal feels secure. I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels, making sure pets are always safe, happy, and stress-free. I treat each pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you.

About: I offer pet photography! I am a photographer and would love to get your dog professional photos while I am pet sitting. I’ve had animals my entire childhood.

About: I’ve had and taken care of pets ever since I was young. I have many family, friends, and clients that have used me for many years to petsit, walk, and groom their pets. I am available to stop in the mornings before work to feed and let out your pet. In the afternoon after work I am available to feed, walk, and play with your pet and anything else you may need done. Your pet will always have lots of love and attention when you need me. Anything you need or want done I will make sure it’s done. There’s nothing better than not having to worry when you can’t be at home with your baby.

About: Growing up with and subsequently having my own pets, I understand the importance of having a trusted contact to call on when needed. My specialty lies with young, middle age and senior dogs. I love how each pup has their own personality and I do what I can to help them shine! Whether they are really active and need lots of attention or like to snuggle inside, I let them be themselves! I also have experience with cats and guinea pigs and am open to taking on more diverse pets. I am available for daily walks, overnights or day time activities for animals of all types! I am currently self-employed and make my own schedule, so I am able to fit in any kind of hours necessary! I am also available for overnights, extended stays and vacations.

If extended overnight care is needed, we can explore the option of coming to my own home as well. I have a very large fenced in yard in a small, safe community.

Madelyn N.
“Madelyn has spent her whole life with pets, and is a caring and responsible animal-lover. She has experience with indoor and outdoor pets including fish, cats, bunnies, dogs and even birds; all of varying breeds and personalities. Growing up, she watched “Dogs 101” religiously and literally had a notebook filled with notes. Now, she helps dog sit my senior chihuahua mutt named Spencer for short and long periods of time and he loves her! Maddy has experience pet-sitting for friends and family, and would make a great pet caregiver!”
