“Steven is a caring dogsitter. He has cared for two of my dogs. His duties included daycare and boarding. Steven treated my babies like they were his own. He follows directions well. Steven made sure my babies were exercised and administered their daily medication. Steven is kind and thoughtful when it comes to the care of all animals. He treats your pets like family.”


13. Katie S.

“Katie was great! She was very quick about responding and scheduling a time for a meet and greet, and I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. They're very shy and like to hide, but Katie managed to get pictures of them each time she dropped in. She was very kind and professional; I would definitely recommend her! :)”


14. Natalie Rose Q.

“Took great care of my pets, made sure to send me pictures and followed directions perfectly! Definitely recommended!”


15. Lydia S.

“I cannot find the words to express how grateful we are for Lydia’s presence while we were out of town! Our initial caregiver fell through and Lydia jumped through so many hoops to get our cat the care she needed on such short notice with minimal help from us. She’s very attentive to pets’ behavior and eating habits, and you can rest easy knowing your pet will be well cared for. I am so glad our Scout had Lydia to care for her and keep her company while we were away. She truly saved us all this week! We’ll definitely look to Lydia when we need care for our cat going forward. Thanks, Lydia!”


16. Lexis B.

“Friendly and punctual! She did great with my dogs and provided great pictures!”


17. Annie T.
“Annie is the most trustworthy person you could have care for your furry family members! She genuinely cares for animals and has watched our dogs many times. One of our dogs is a rescue with anxiety and Annie took the time to let her warm up and her patience means they are now friends!! Highly recommend!”


18. Alyssa B.

“Alyssa was a terrific cat sitter for both of my cats one of which required administering medication. They seemed well taken care of and happy when I came home. She also brought in packages left for us while we were away. She was prompt each day,had excellent and swift communication, and was reliable, and dependable!”


19. Allen M.
“Allen is a fantastic pet sitter/dog walker. Whenever he's taken care of Saka, I rest easy knowing that Allen will follow our instructions and make sure that he's safe and sound. Saka always has his tail wagging when he sees Allen and sometimes doesn't want to leave! I always get great photos if I ask too! Allen's great at taking him out for walks and making sure he doesn't pull or get into any trouble and can make sure they get their play time and rest at home. Would def work with him again.”


20. Monette L.
About: I have experience with my own goofy large labradoodle and friend's dogs and cats. I have also been a Rabbit 4H leader and owned goats and alpacas. I also free range a flock of 40 chickens on our homestead. I would be happy to help care for your very important pup(s) and other animals. I have a flexible work schedule and also work from home. Most holidays I am in town and available to help care for your pup. I do not care for dogs at this time at my home. This could change in the future. I will update when a change in services provided occurs.
