“Jenny took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs absolutely loved her and we were stress free leaving them with her the entire weekend. Thanks Jenny! :)”


“Hi Shannon, Thank you for a great weekend! I had so much fun playing with your dogs on all that land! I was in heaven! Simba and I had so much fun! You were so nice to me and kept me company during some loud rumbling noises in the sky. I don’t like the light flashes either but you let me follow you when I was scared. My hoo-mans travel plans changed but you talked to them to make sure it all worked out and assured by sending pics of me being a good boy! I was so tired on the car ride home mommy and daddy were laughing that I snored so loud during a car ride!! I even woke my hooman baby I was so loud! (My head was on his feet) Thank you and I hope to visit again sometime! Love, Harlow”

“Shaun and Katie were great with our baby Arthur🤩 sent us pictures and videos of him having fun with the other pups. This was our first experience with our dogs staying anywhere but home!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and most farm animals since I was a kid. Going into my late 20s I really do have a passion in caring for any kind of animal and ensuring the best care possible. I'm currently working from home so my availability is flexible and open. I am more than happy to work with your fur babies at any given moment as long as i have a 24 hour notice. shoot me a message and i will work with your schedule the best i can. My dog gets treated like a human, she is spoiled and treated with so much love & care. She gets walks, playtime in the park, and treats as necessary

“Savannah was great to work with. My cat Leo was returned to me healthy and happy. I was sent severely pictures of Leo during the week I was on vacation. I would be happy to use Savannah again!”


“Allen did a wonderful job taking care of our girl and was very responsive to messages as well as flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely love to book with Allen again ?”



“Deirdre was wonderful! She was very patient with us (we were late for our initial meeting) and with our dogs. She was very flexible when it came to drop off and pick up. Our dogs seemed very happy when they came home. Typically they are stressed when they come home from a boarding overnight and that wasn't the case this time. We would highly recommend her services!”


About: I was raised on a farm and have always had dogs growing up. I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for over a decade. I have cared for pets with specific medical needs requiring daily pills or shots and dogs post surgery. For some dogs, I would help work on their social skills by going to the dog park or downtown so they can be near people. I’ve been known to surprise my regulars with a new toy or treat, because my goal is to make your dog happy. If training is your goal, I can help you enforce those good habits. I’m most fully available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I currently work afternoons and at a church on Sundays. I'm in school full time, but classes are on zoom in the evenings, so I would be able to supervise your pet at that time. I have a dachshund in my home to keep your pet company. We have a large yard and we’re near several nature trails so there are plenty of options for releasing energy! We also have a sandbox (with a lid) if your dog likes to dig.

“Rachel was so great to work with! She brought our puppy to our wedding venue so we were able to take photos with him. We’ve never trusted anyone other than family or friends with him and are happy to now have someone we can rely on! We can’t recommend her enough🤍”


About: What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters? I treat every dog like they’re part of my family—because while you're away, they are. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, I specialize in providing personalized care that fits your dog’s unique needs. 🐶 Puppy Pro? Absolutely. I'm skilled in helping puppies stick to potty-training routines, basic commands, and gentle socialization. 🦴 Senior Dog Savvy. I have experience with senior pups who need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and lots of patient love. 🛏️ Stress-Free Environment. My home is calm, clean, and kennel-free (unless otherwise requested), with plenty of space for play, rest, and snuggles. 🏃♂️ Active & Engaging. Whether it’s daily walks, fetch in the yard, or mentally stimulating games, I keep your pup engaged and happy. 💬 Clear Communication. I send regular updates with photos, so you never feel far from your furry friend. Working from home allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day—not just during breaks or after hours. I structure my workday around their needs, which means: 🐾 Morning Routine: We start the day with a walk or some playtime to burn off energy and set a calm tone. Midday Breaks: I take regular breaks to give them attention, bathroom breaks, or just some cuddle time—great for both of us! 🍽️ Meal & Medication Schedules: I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and on track. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: Whether they’re playing in a safe, fenced yard or napping nearby while I work, I’m always close by to supervise and ensure they’re happy and relaxed. 📸 Daily Updates: I take a few minutes each day to send you pictures or notes so you know how your pet’s doing. Because I’m home all day, your dog is never left alone for long—and that peace of mind is something I take pride in offering. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: Whether they’re playing in a safe, fenced yard or napping nearby while I work, I’m always close by to supervise and ensure they’re happy and relaxed.
