“Thank you so much, Andy! My pups were so happy and thankful for all of your help this weekend! We will definitely look for Andy first next time we need help. My biggest baby is normally pretty shy, but it took about 3 seconds before he was begging for scratches and cuddles.”
“Haylea is amazing! She’s very professional and has great communication. She took great care of my cat while I was away and provided great pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!
“Was very willing to help us with our puppy and took him for a nice long walk! He looked so happy in the picture that was sent! Very efficient with communication too! Thank you!”
“I had a mandatory business trip and my pet sitter fell through fairly last minute. My 6 year old cat, Ollie, has separation anxiety (I rescued him from abuse when he was 6 months old) and he is not used to being alone for long periods of time because I work out of the house and am home most of the time. While he's friendly, he's not super snuggly or interactive with strangers; he just needs someone to be 'present'. We had a meet-and-greet prior to booking the stay- She asked all of the pertinent questions about his personality and daily routine (Charlie, my 21 year old cockatiel, is easy- LOL). I was rest-assured things would work out so I booked the stay. Deanne was wonderful with both Ollie and Charlie. She sent me updates throughout the day and plenty of photos letting me know they both were doing well (although I could tell in a couple of the photos Ollie was a little sad... But that is completely normal- As long as he was eating and following his regular routine I knew he'd 'survive'). This also helped me not stress out or worry about my pets and be able to focus on my trip / business dealings and that's honestly also a big part of traveling for me. I arrived home, and while I know both Ollie and Charlie missed me, everything went right back to normal and that's what told me Deanne cared for them very well. She also was very respectful of my home and kept it clean during her stay. I'm very glad I found her and will be using her services again. I highly recommend Deanne to care for your pets!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, I also have experience as a kennel tech for over a year of helping with surgeries, recover, medication, anything under the sun I am comfortable doing it for your kiddo. I am comfortable with any dog or cat you throw at me, and of course make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home as a content creator or my whole day is pet care. The second I wake up I take my German shepherd for a walk before I even have my coffee in the morning, I include basic training alongside the walk as well. I get back from the walk and of course make sure my 3 cats are fed with all different dietary needs as my male cat has feline herpes so needs special treatment. I get ready for work but before I do I’ll take my dog out again, work, and basically is repeated from the morning. My main phrase I say is either what’s in your mouth or where’s your ball, even during work I will be throwing the ball for my dog, doing training on stream, or even telling my stream to pause as my dog needs attention. I devote every waking moment to my kids. Of course before I accept any job I would come and meet and your kids beforehand to make sure it is something I can handle and to get an idea how eat pet behaves.
About: With over 18 years of hands-on dog care experience, my calm and gentle approach helps dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just relaxing companionship, I’m all about making your pet feel loved and at home. I offer flexible care to fit your schedule! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits between 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM and again from 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM. I also provide overnight stays in your home, so your pet can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own space while you’re away. Whether you need a midday walk, morning potty break, or full overnight care, I’ve got you covered. My approach to pet care is calm, patient, and full of love. I bring a laid-back energy that helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially those who are shy or anxious. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means slow introductions, quiet companionship, or playful energy when they’re ready. I treat every pet like my own—with gentle care, respect, and lots of affection. Animals naturally gravitate toward me, and I take that trust seriously.
“A first rate job taking care of my elderly cat. She was fed exactly on schedule and her dietary considerations were met as directed. My pet was played with, cuddled and visited by a conscientious and kind caretaker who I felt confident was respectful of my property. Chris is a treasure.”
“Rylee did an outstanding job caring for our pups. She did everything we asked and we were at ease leaving them in her care. Rylee is very responsible and makes sure the dogs get enough exercise and outside time. I highly recommend booking her for any service you need with your dogs. Look forward to having her care for ours again! Thank you Rylee!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a child. I’ve taken care of clients pet babies in their home. Feeding, cleaning cat litter, playing with them and administering medication. Making them feel loved while their parents are away. I also have had the opportunity to volunteer at a horse therapy program where I cleaned stables, fed the horses, washed them, brushed them and cleaned their hoofs. I also assisted the mentally and physically disabled individuals on the horses while they were doing their lessons. I am currently retired and have all the time in the world to care for your pet babies. I have a large home that would be comfy and cozy for them I have an adequate yard to take your pet Babies in. I have a bike trail to walk them in and an open area to play with them.
“Marlene was a lifesaver when our pet plans fell through right before our vacation. My dog, Maggie, can be rather difficult, to say the least. Marlene came to my house and cared for Maggie with competence and compassion. She, also, took care of my birds and cat. She kept me updated on the home situation and I was completely comfortable, knowing that they were all well taken care of. I would recommend her without hesitation. Talli”
“This is the second time Carrie has taken care of our two cats, one of which needs twice daily insulin injections. We could not be more pleased with the care they get. Excellent communication.”

“Michelle was great and easy to work with. Our cats were taken care of well while we were on vacation. Even scooped the litter box the day before we got home!”
Cailee H.
“If you’re looking for someone amazing with animals, look no further than Caliee. I can’t say enough great things about her—she’s just phenomenal. From the moment she started helping care for my dog and cats, I saw how naturally she connects with animals. She’s caring, intuitive, and genuinely kind, with a heart of gold. What sets her apart is how animals respond to her—it’s like they just get her. She guides and coaches them with ease, never harsh, but always in control. Honestly, I think my dog and cats might love her even more than they love me (and that’s saying something!). As someone who’s very protective of who spends time with my pets, I can say without hesitation: any animal in Caliee’s care is in the best hands possible. - Kari R.”
