““We couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for our furry family member! Aphra’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. Our pet’s Kyra and Brutus, were pampered and showered with affection during their visits. Aphra’s updates and photos were a heartwarming touch, providing us with much-needed reassurance. Her reliability and professionalism make her our go-to sitter from now on. Thank you, Aphra, for providing such exceptional care!””


“I was really nervous about leaving my sweet little guy for the weekend but with Bailey on the job I was able to enjoy my weekend out of town and her photos after each check in showed just how happy he was. I will definitely use her again!”


About: I’ve had and loved animals my entire life. As an adult I’ve had 2 German shepherd’s and have done positive reinforcement training with both. My daughter also had a rescue dog that was very special. Currently I have dogs and a cat. I’m currently working full time as a nurse/clinic leader. I have the flexibility to work from home on occasion. I have a 11 year old son that is in sports so I need to work around his game schedule. I can provide and respect any safety recommendations as requested. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

“Callie is such a thoughtful and kind human being. She took care of my elderly kitty while I was away for the weekend. Her care set my mind at ease so I could thoroughly enjoy my time away.”


About: Growing up on a farm I understand the connection animals give us. We had at least 3 dogs around us constantly. Their care and comfort is my number one priority. I have experience with reactive and timid dogs. As a young teenager I did 4H with my boarder collie. We competed in agility, rally’s, and basic obedience. My GSD and I worked through his reactivity to other dogs and people. I personally trained him to be the best boy he can be, and he earned his K9 good citizen. I love all types of personality’s, from teething puppies to seniors who just need some company. I excel in dog training, I love a good challenge. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your four legged family members! I am available until late May! I thoroughly follow instructions for your pet, and the safety of you’re home. I understand that some dogs are timid, and that some dogs are reactive on walks. I will be sure to make my time with you’re pup comfortable and enjoyable for both of us.

About: I first got my dog in 2017. I've taken care of her since she was a puppy until now as she's growing gray hairs on her nose. This opened the door to countless house/petsitting opportunities! I've taken care of puppies, dogs (trained and untrained), senior dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even a gecko! I've taken care of special daily routines like feeding, medication, how to leave the house, and cared for severe separation anxiety. Every family wants their furry friend to be happy, safe, and healthy while they're away and I am confident I can provide that for your family and your pet! My schedule is fairly flexible as I am home most of the time! I can easily accommodate to the needs of you and your pets! :) I take my dog to the lake or for walks on a leash, and I was a family nanny who had 2 dogs in a fenced in yard. The older one loved to sunbath (the one with separation anxiety) and the younger one could chase the ball for hours! I make sure they stay busy and running around and after get lots of love and snuggles for a quick nap.
