“Julie was absolutely wonderful with my pets! I received pictures and updates every time she stopped by to let them out and feed them. One of my dogs is shy and she spent time winning him over, all my pets adored her. We will definitely be reaching out again to see if she’s available the next time I go out of town! Thank you again Julie!”
“Madisen was a wonderful sitter! It’s evident that she took great care of my dogs and cats while I was away for 5 days. She communicated well and kept me updated through the week. I’d recommend in a heartbeat!”
“Once again Sam did a great job! He kept our babies happy. Our house was just as we left it (actually a little better). Can’t thank him enough. It’s been such a relief to know we have someone that can help out when needed. Thank you Sam!”

About: Not only have I been raised with animals, I continue my journey in the animal industry in my early 20’s in humane societies, as I gained understanding and knowledge on proper animal care and handling, I transitioned into working in Veterinary Clinics as a veterinary assistant/tech. My experience ranges from kittens/puppies all the way up into their senior years. I’m a housewife and a stay at home mom who homeschools her children. Now that my youngest is 15 years old and more independent with his schooling, which leaves my schedule flexible. I have a fairly large house and fenced in backyard that sits on 2 acres, which means that your fur-babies are guaranteed to have all the exercise that. their little hearts desire.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, I currently have 2 dogs a Maltese mix and a Doberman Pinscher they are my sunshine on a rain day. I get my love for animals from my mom she is a certified dog groomer and she’s taught me everything I know. I also love training my two dogs I enjoy teaching them new things and it’s always a fun time. I work part time but am also a senior in high school. I work almost 5 hours each Saturday and Sunday so I am available to house sit on the weekends and walk your puppies any time after 3 during the week. I will be in the comfort of your home to love and care for your fur baby and make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as possible.
“Coreena was great ! Did a wonderful job Pets and housesitting. We have multiple rescue pets some with illness and meds. We were comforted that Coreena could care for our animals because she is a vet tech. Not having to board them is such a relief! Our Rescues do not do well with boarding due to anxiety and past experiences. Highly recommend Coreena and will be rehired for future pet and housesitting needs.”
About: Since growing up on a farm and having a menagerie of pets my whole life, I've gained tons of valuable experience and knowledge about animals, and a deep love of them as well. I have worked with everything from mice to cows, but mostly dogs and cats. Your furbabies are in great hands with me! I'm currently self-employed, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I'm able to do walks before sun-down, during the week, and on weekends! I'm completely comfortable with crate training methods and would be happy to help out with that, and I have two of my own dogs who could be a playdate for your pups. I have a flexible schedule as I currently do freelance work from home, which allows me to make your pet and their care a high priority. I have a secure and spacious fenced-in yard, two of my own dogs who can keep your pet company, and can crate if that is requested.
About: I am an animal lover. I have always had to take care of someone’s dog(kid). I have four dogs of my own and would want someone to take good care of them. Patience is definitely a key component into taking care of them. I am currently working a full time job but my weekends are free to make extra money. I can do sitting after 6:00pm on Fridays. I have a fenced in yard for your legged kid to run around. I also have hard wood floors incase they were to have an accident. I rather have your pet inside than inside for better care.
