“Joyelle was amazing! She was a pleasure to meet and we felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home and care for our puppy. She sent tons of pictures and kept us updated each day. I’m quite sure she left our home cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend using Joyelle!”

About: I have a small hobby farm where I take care of animals off all ages and sizes. I work remotely from home (although I’ve got the ability to travel) so I have time to frequently check on everyone and administer food and meds on a regular basis. Although I only have a partially fenced yard, I have plenty of leader lines and leashes available for potty breaks and exercise. I currently have two dogs and a cat that live in the house with me and are very friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of room for crates if your dog prefers to sleep in a crate, and room for doggy beds if they are particular about where they sleep. I’m also willing to pet sit/farm sit locally if your furry friends would prefer to stay home. I work remotely Monday-Friday. I usually work at home, but I have the ability to work anywhere there is an internet connection if you would prefer an in-home sitter. Working remote gives me the chance to be home all day where I can do potty breaks for my dogs and check on my farm animals. It also allows me to be available if there’s any special requests such as medication and specific feeding times. My cat is a “one cat” kind of guy (we’ll work on that), so for now, I would only feel comfortable hosting dogs ay my house. However, I am available to pet sit in-home for cats or dogs that might feel more comfortable at home. I’m very comfortable giving meds and sticking to a strict feeding schedule if your animal has medical/dietary needs. I’ve seen (almost) everything, so don’t feel like you’re asking too much!
“McKenzie did an amazing job with our pets! We have a young energetic pup and a couple crazy cats and McKenzie did amazing making all of them feel comfortable. The updates she provided made me feel so comfortable while we were away. And the pictures she sent were better than any of the ones I have taken. She also left the house way better than we kept it. 10/10 will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have grown up with all type of animals and am very comfortable learning pet specific care and have taken care of many animals baby to senior and love learning about each pet I have a full time job from 6:30am-3pm but am very flexible outside those times I can take care of pets before and after work any day of the week I am very respectful of your space while in your home taking care of your babies, I am confident in my skills caring for your pet and peace whether just a walk or house-sitting

“Alec and his lab Buddha stayed in our home for 10 days which was wonderful for both our Lab Cali and for us. We had the peace of mind knowing someone was here watching over our home. Not having to board our dog in a kennel was priceless. Alec left our home clean, tidy and he even washed the bedding. His dog is extremely well behaved and got along well with Cali. I would enthusiastically recommend Alec and Buddha if you need a dog/home sitter!”

“Jessie took GREAT care of our two energetic pups while we were away. We knew they were safe and loved. She also left our home neat and organized: a total pleasure to return to when we got back. Her communication is excellent! Thank you, Jessie!”

“Tiffany was great! She was very attentive to Dexter, taking him for walks and making sure he was fed per his schedule. She was very good at communicating their activities and very respectful of our home. I didn't worry at all while we were gone.”


About: Hello! I have had experience pet and dog sitting since I was 15. I have taken care of animals ranging from pigeons to bunnies to dogs and cats to horses. I have experience with old and young, as well as experience with animals needing medication. I personally have three cats and a XL dog, so I am comfortable with any size critter. I work at a school so I currently do not have work during the summer. I am available all days. There maybe some days where I am out and about, but I will still be available to check on them during the day and stay with them at night. I will not be available to bring them to my home, as we have a pretty crazy house with extra critters, however I am able to stay in my clients' homes. I can easily adjust to your pet's daily schedule — whether that be daily walks, medication, or scheduled meals. Staying in your home, I am also able to do things such as collect mail, water plants, and just care for your home as well as your pet.
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and raising animals, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and an understanding of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with animals and my dedication to their happiness, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets is already a part of my daily routine. Between feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with my own dogs, I’m used to giving animals structure and attention every single day. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening walks, pets are always the center of my schedule. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space where they feel welcomed as part of the family. I stick to regular feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their routines as closely as possible, whether mealtime, walks, or bedtime, so pets feel secure and stress-free. My goal is to always create consistency, comfort, and trust.
