“Courtney is truly amazing! I had a last minute request and she responded the same day and I was lucky enough that she was available. Very professional and friendly. She absolutely listens to what you need and does it all. I am definitely a repeating client.”


“Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”

“Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.”

About: Hands on care, including feeding, walking, and administering meds, while emphasizing responsibility and attention to detail in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I proactively plan and can adjust to your schedule to accommodate owner or dogs needs. I have an extremely friendly dog that thinks all dogs want to be his best friend. I’m flexible to any needs your fur baby might need throughout their stay!
“My cat Daisy and I had another fantastic experience with Jenny! She worked her magic on her drop in visits to care for Daisy while I was away and my typically stranger shy kitty was happy to come out to visit with her. Jenny shared many photos so I could see my girl was doing well and I returned home to a very well cared for and happy cat.”

About: I specialize in medical animal care, and special needs clients. I know a lot of basic injury/ER care treatments and you can feel safe with your special needs babies in my care 💕 Starting at very young, before I could even say it correctly, I was always excited to tell people that I wanted to be a "vegetarian" (Veterinarian)! I started taking care of my aunts animals and her "zoo" when I was about 7 years old, 3 times a year. She knew others who needed animal care, feeding brushing walking, ect, and I began taking care of others' animals as well for years! Continued with this all throughout the time that I waitresses, but few years later got a job as a doggy day care attendant. Which put me into the position of a groomer a year later, and then even a dog trainer the next year. I now work at an after hours animal ER and as a Veterinarians assistant. I really do believe you can fully trust me with your animals, as I've been doing it for years. It makes me nervous putting my own animals in others care, but I would trust myself 10 times over! I am availabile Monday through Sunday and anytime, if any special accommodations needed, you can feel free to reach out and see what I can do for you and your family ❤️ In others home, I really focus on getting to know the animals, and letting them wind down outside. I try to read each animal, as they are all different and usually display very obvious body language.
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”

“Jill took great care of my kitty. She kept in touch. Checked-in exactly when she said she would. Took lots of photos. Did everything I'd requested for drop-ins. And was very kind. I came home after a long vacation to a happy cat. Thank you Jill! I look forward to booking your services again next time!”

“We love Rebecca. She really thinks about our furries…what they need and how she can help us while we are away. Batteries went dead on the dog’s doggie door collar, and she hunted down the batteries and changed them. Packages were outside, and she always brings them in. She is great with medicines and baths and attention for my senior baby. Thanks for being so attentive,Rebecca!”
