“Everything goes very smooth when Joyce is with the dogs. The house is in good order, the dogs are properly cared for and communication about them is good. It's a relief to enjoy vacation and not worry.”
“Erin was perfect! She gave us updates regularly and was the best house guest, the house was in better condition than it was when we left. She was flexible on the cost too because we have a ridiculous amount of fur babies which we really appreciated. She even brought in mail without being asked!! We will definitely be asking her to care for our pets again!!”
“After two lengthy road trips in two weeks, it was really nice to return home to scooped litter boxes, a clean home, and a happy cat! Gloria does a wonderful job of taking care of both our kitty and our house (and our plants, too!). I highly recommend her.”
“I was worried about leaving my senior dog for three weeks but she kept up with his medications and strict diet. He looks and feels better! He gave her a hard time but she ended up gaining his trust well enough to let her treat him and sleep with him. She was also great with our two other dogs and followed instructions!”
“Kendra went above and beyond taking care of our pets and our home while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter, we came home to a clean house and happy pets! Great communication.”
“Hannah was great with my 3 dogs and cat! One of my dachshunds has anxiety and he took right to her, which was amazing! She shared pics of them with me frequently, went above and beyond and stayed later because my flight came in at midnight, and the house was nice and tidy when I got home. Thank you Hannah!”
“Cate is absolutely amazing with our shy dog and cat, and we feel good knowing they’re in great hands while we are away. We are especially grateful Cate was able to accommodate a last-minute time change for our most recent trip. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and caring! Highly recommend!”
“Hannah stayed with our dogs while we were away for the weekend. Our two little dogs loved her and we felt comfortable that they were being well taken care of while we were gone. Hannah kept in touch with updates on how our babies were doing and sending pictures which was much appreciated. Highly recommend Hannah’s pet/house sitting services!”

My #1 priority will be taking care of your pet. I am happy to send pics and update you during the visit 😊 As of this time I am unable to have any clients for daycare in my home. I am very reliable and trustworthy and I enjoy helping others. I can follow directions well and can handle it all.

“Kay is amazing! My dogs took to her instantly. I felt very calm leaving her on my home with my dogs. She was respectful and clean as well. I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I had a dog myself growing up. Her name was Montana and she lived up to fifteen years. I have taken care of puppies all the way up to older dogs. Back in high school I even house sat my family friends dogs for when they were on vacation. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. They are even my favorite animal. I will be great for being active with your pooch or even laying low and relaxing; whichever you prefer. I am currently unemployed and transitioning between jobs and I am a person who is just wanting to help out other families even if it's to watch someones furry family member. I am also very reliable and will always be there when I am needed. I have a completely open schedule. I am currently not working so my availability is pretty flexible. I am also used to working early in the morning or late at night. I prefer to meet with the animal first. Caring needs depends on the task. I like to have the animal get to know me and feel more comfortable with me before taking them out for walks
“If You are looking for someone who knows and cares this is her. Kathryn not only understands canine behavior from a broad perspective she takes the time to make that one on one connection with your dog, I would rate Kathryn's services at 6 Stars on a 1-5 scale. She truly is above and beyond!”
About: This is my first time trying to get into professional pet care, however, I have spent my entire life living with and taking care of pets. There hasn’t been a single moment where I have lived without cats or a dog in my home. I absolutely love getting to spend time with these animals as I find their companionship to be so rewarding. I find many animals seem to enjoy my own company, whether it’s due to my calm nature or inability to refuse petting them if they ask for it! I have no special skills to report, but I will say that I am happy to learn all there is about your furry best friend(s) to make sure you, and more importantly, they, are comfortable and happy. I’m currently available any day of the week to take care of your pets! No time is a bad time for me, unless it is very late in the day. I will care for your pets in your home by following any instructions you have given me for their safety and care and always keep an eye and ear on them. If I am taking your dog on a walk, I will make sure we stay clear of any visible signs of safety hazards and confrontation with other dogs/people.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was little. As I grew up I took care of my family pets. As an adult I have pet sit many times. I also have a cat! I am currently unemployed, so I have lots of time anytime you need it! I am willing to take care for as long as you need. I love to spend time with animals. I give attention and care for everyone. I keep track of their feeding schedule and walk times. I try to make a pet as comfortable as possible!
About: My favorite job I’ve ever held is still my first job: taking care of horses at the stable I boarded at. Right now, I am in between traveling, and since I can’t have my own pets, I’d love to hang out with your fur family while I am in town. I’m aiming for “Auntie Jen” territory here, y’all 😁 I am punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and will treat your fur family like my family…but actually a bit better, because, c’mon…they’re cuter. I am studying for my TEFL certification, so I have plenty of time to watch your cat or dog. I am just crashing at my mom’s, for the moment! I don’t have the capacity to accommodate pets in my apartment, unfortunately. Currently, I am not looking for more dog walking, but I'd love to help with checking in on your cat, ferret, or other cute critter!
