Tatyjana was fantastic. She gave us daily updates and was quick to respond. It was obvious she pampered the dogs while she was here; she even got them to tolerate nail trimmings! When we got home, the dogs were happy, the house was clean, the chickens were taken care of. We will absolutely hire her again.

Shawna was a life saver! After learning of my MIL’s passing a week before Spring Break, let’s just say, we were having a hard time finding a pet/house sitter. We met Shawna on Tuesday and she was staying at our house with our 2 anxious boys Thursday night. Shawna did everything right making sure the boys were taken well care of and even wanted to vacuum & change sheets in order for our home to be ready for our return. She went above and beyond and we will definitely plan any future trips with Shawna!

Rachel was a gift, I wish I found her sooner. From the meet & greet to the house sitting she was super easy to communicate with. Our dog loved her and followed her all over the house (sorry Rachel!). I would absolutely contact her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some help.

Mary did a great job watching our dog and cat for the weekend. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and took really good care of them while we were away. It was nice knowing our pets were in good hands, and we came home to happy animals. We’d definitely recommend Mary and would use her again.

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was a child. I always say hi to the dogs first when visiting family and friends! I work a full time job and am remote (from home) and am very flexible to fitting the needs of the potential furry friends I am given the opportunity to meet! I will follow directions to keep the animals safety and routine within their and their owners boundaries. During walks, I will respect the owner request regarding distance and interaction with other dogs, and people.

Haley was absolutely amazing! My Pomeranian puppy needed care for about 6 hours, and Haley went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She listened to our wants and needs for our puppy and asked all the right questions beforehand to be prepared. During the day, she sent me updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!

About: My lifelong hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve been caring for my own dogs since I was 10 years old, which has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies and reinforcing basic training like leash manners, crate routines, and positive behavior habits. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior dogs, making sure they move at their own pace, stay comfortable, and get any extra care or patience they may need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, even as a full-time student. I’m organized with my schedule and intentionally leave open time between classes and in the afternoons to walk and care for dogs. Being active and spending time outdoors is already part of my routine, so dog walking blends perfectly into my day. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy making time for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting the home and keeping everything clean and organized.

About: I have been a dog owner for 15 years. I have experice from Puppy to Senior age. My service comes with a walk depending on the weather of course. I work full time from home and love the opportunity to spend time with other dogs. I love how every dog has their own personality. I usually take my lunch break and go for walks with my dog or clients dogs. I will always clean up after them outside and abide with your pets schedule. I home-cook my dogs meals. We love playing endless fetch, we have movie nights on Friday where we watch 101 Dalmatians or another dog themed movie. Go for walks, depending on the dog i sometimes take with me for a coffee date.

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for two years, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!

Melissa took amazing care of my two pups, sent regular updates and made both myself and them feel at ease. They haven’t had a sitter in years that they didn’t know prior, and one of my pups has alot of anxiety with new people, but warmed up to Melissa at lightning speed and I could tell from the photos she was having a blast. Absolutely recommend Melissa!

About: Experienced canine care provider of small and large breeds. Ability to administer oral medication, enforce healthy diet and maintain exercise habits with consideration for dog’s individual needs. Extensive knowledge of safe to consume food for dogs. Frequent trips to the dog park are routine. All dogs are treated with love in my home, they are given the same level of attention and care as Zeus. Zeus is a gentle giant, his nature is playful yet mellow. He is 11yo, in great health and updated on all vaccinations. Zeus gets fresh fruit and veggie snacks and gets plenty of canine socialization. My other dog Molly is a 2yo mini doodle, she is very high energy and loves to play. Always keeps interactions with other dogs at a friendly level. Having a part time job position makes pet care very manageable. Weekends are spent at home with a trip to the dog park or nearby hiking trail. Crating can be accommodated. Zeus can provide company, if you prefer individual care for your dog Zeus can stay with family or friends for duration of boarding. Dogs are allowed on furniture, please specify if you have trained your dog otherwise.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the trusted human servant of many adorable dogs and cats! I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, including overnight stays where I make sure pets feel safe, loved, entertained, and spoiled with attention while their humans are away. Whether it’s long walks, couch cuddles, playtime, belly rubs, or keeping up with their normal routines, I’m happy to give pets all the love and companionship they deserve. I work a full time hybrid job that allows me to spend half days at home daily, so I have the flexibility to check in on fur friends and your home at any time! I currently work full time but hybrid so I have the flexibility to stay home with furry friends and provide the care they need most! I always prioritize pet safety by maintaining a clean, calm environments, following routines carefully, securing doors and leashes, and giving every pet attentive, loving supervision.
