Lots of cute pictures and update on the babies daily!”


12. Angela B.

“Angie was an amazing dog sitter for us!! She watched our dog, Rosie, and my brother in law’s dog, Kenobi, in our home when we were on vacation for 4 days. Angie came to our house prior to the sit for a proper meet and greet with the pups. It was clear how experienced she is around pets and the pups loved her immediately. Our dog Rosie is on a special diet which was no issue when we were away. Angie kept great communication and gave us daily updates with pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Angie!!”

15. Caira B.
About: I have taken care of every kind of animal since I was 12. Goats, dogs, pigs, horses, you name it! I just can not get enough animals in my life. I was also a dog groomer in the past! I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to love on your pet and give them the quality time they deserve and need. I am always cautious and sure to keep your pet or pets safe by listening to instructions you have or using instinct I have gained from experience.


16. Harley M.

“A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.”


17. Skylar K.
About: Hi! I’m Skylar, I’m a high school graduate, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14 and even for my own animals before then. I’ve volunteered at vets so I know basic animal health, and I am flexible with dates and timings to fit your needs(: I currently nanny Tuesday through Thursdays from 9-1 and I pickup other small jobs at a coffee shop on off days. But with that I am flexible to care for your pet whenever you need me, weather it’s staying in your home or dropping in for check ins. I offer to stay in your home or drop in for check ins when needed. When doing so I am sure to love on your animal and play with them as much as they’d like and I am respectful of your home and your belongings. I always make sure to clean up after myself and leave a home better than I found it so that pet owners can return home to a clean place and a happy pet.


18. Olivia A.
About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I am an experienced animal trainer and vet tech. I worked at a clinic for 7+ years as a veterinary technician (including exotics!) and as a trainer and handler in a professional animal studio where I was in charge of animal (and people!) training. Have a special needs dog or one with quirky behaviors? I will work with you and with them. I can give medications, do walks, do short training sessions and will clean up after your pet. I am willing to work with and accomodate all types of dogs and other pets. I can even do some basic training sessions if requested during any visits. I have flexible availability and am able to be there early mornings to late nights to care for your furry friends. Personally, I am used to a multipet household as we have dogs, cats, and chickens. I will water your garden too! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, I am here for you and your pets! I work a flexible job from home and therefore I am flexible for your needs as well! I am more than happy to accomodate your pets every need! Pets will be treated with the upmost care, love, and respect when under out care. I take pride in loving every animal and am more than happy to accomodate any special requests or give special treats!

“Emilee took great care of our goldendoodle and our house while we were with grandchildren. We are very fortunate to find her in a somewhat unpopulated area.”


20. Daniel M.
“Danny is great with our dogs! They love him more than they love us. I trust him to take them anywhere. You can be sure they will return safely and exhausted from all the fun they had.”
