It is so cool to watch Sport's reaction when I tell him Nikki and her little helper are coming! He shakes all over (reserved for the happiest of times) and he does this adorable head tilt and heads straight for the door. Thanks Nikki for making my lil man so happy.

Danielle is leash training and has made great progress in a short period of time. She also has taken the time to share her strategies so we can reinforce the training on our own. We are excited to continue. Danielle is very easy to communicate with and responds quickly. We had to reschedule due to local storms and the stress that this causes our boys. But she was mindful to check in and verify that it was what we preferred.

My wife and I were looking for a fur baby sitter and house sitter since we do not kennel our three dogs. Ren came to us from a close friend. Memphis (8), Scooby (7) and Sophia (5) immediately fell in love with her and took her gentleness. We had a weekend trip up to Louisville, KY for the first time we had Ren sit for us. We felt safe having her stay in our home with our kids for the first time meeting her. While we were away, she sent us photos of the kids playing with her and lounging around with her as if she were part of the family. One of the requirements we asked of Ren was to play frisbee with Scooby at least three times day and walk Sophia at least once (1.5 mile route). Ren did as we asked with no issues. Ren did such a great job with them that we had her come to our home over 2022 Christmas weekend on a last minute trip. She did not hesitate to help us out. Ren is kindhearted and great with our fur babies. We trust her enough to give her a garage door opener and home security code for future sittings. On a scale of 1 - 10, Ren gets a 10!!

Sophie has taken great care of our two dogs while we have been out of town. We have one much older dog (18y) and one more active dog (2y), and she managed their care beautifully. She came to our house multiple times per day to check on them and to just give them some attention and playtime. We highly recommend her!

About: Our pets are like our children. They are 100% a part of our family. One of the major drawbacks to vacationing is leaving our babies at a kennel or somewhere else where they are caged and under-loved. I want everyone to be able to leave their pets and be stress free while they are away. I want to spend my days playing with your animal! If they like to play ball, take walks or just cuddle, I can accommodate. I also want customers to feel at ease and don't mind giving updates and sending pictures. For long days at work, I can take care of whatever the needs of your pets are. I'm very flexible and want to put pet owners at ease whenever they are away from their homes. I am available for pet sitting in your home. I can take care of your pets while you are on vacation, or if you have a long work day and need a mid day visit. I will treat your pets the same as I would my own. Making sure all their needs are met, from food/water and bathroom breaks to exercise, play and love. Bringing in mail, taking out trash and watering plants as well as other household needs will be included.

About: I’ve taken care of so many friends’ animals while they travel out of town or are gone for extended hours. I love giving pups and kitties all the attention they deserve! I currently work from home full-time. I also am an early riser and love to walk and run in the mornings! If your pup needs morning exercise, I'll get them moving and grooving. I don’t have any animals currently as I am in an apartment and actively house shopping (something with a yard so I can keep more fur babies!).

About: With years of pet care experience, I genuinely love working with animals of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled in feeding, grooming, and administering medication, always prioritizing their comfort and safety. Whatever I’m not experienced in, I’m eager to learn! What truly sets me apart is my ability to build meaningful connections with pets, making them feel loved and secure ensuring they receive the best care possible. I currently have flexible availability and can accommodate various scheduling needs. My goal is to ensure your pets receive the care they deserve, whenever you need it. During drop-in visits, I prioritize the comfort and well-being of pets by first assessing their behavior and environment to ensure they feel at ease. I provide fresh food and water according to the owner’s instructions and engage in playtime and walks tailored to each pet's energy levels and preferences. Basic grooming tasks, if requested. If medication is needed, I administer it as directed and keep a record of what was given. I make sure to spend quality time with the pets, offering companionship. Communication is very important so I ensure I provide frequent updates!

About: I've had dogs, cats, chickens, bees, and rabbits! I know how to properly care for them all. I love animals and would be happy to love on your fur baby, wether its playing in the backyard, making sure they have water and treats, and/or taking them on a walk :) I currently have 3 dogs, bees, 8 rabbits, & 6 chickens! I'm currently a business owner, so work from home the majority of the time. I'd like to make a more conscious effort having daily walks, so why not have a furry friend join me? :) I will make sure I always pet, play/walk, and make sure when I leave your pet has gone potty and has fresh water. If I need to feed or change out a potty pad (for the little pups), that's fine too, just please specify.

Alex is wonderful with animals of all sorts. She has pet sat for me many times taking care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, and rats. She is very knowledgeable about animals and very much enjoys what she does. She can handle high maintenance/medical needs as well. She’s very communicative and always goes above and beyond. Can not recommend enough!

About: I have seven years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. I started by taking care of my families pets and then friends. I have a passion to care for animals. I’m available seven days a week and over night . I can even keep the dog or cat for any time frame needed! I’m very flexible with my schedule. I have two acres of land for your fur babies to play. I will walk them and potty breaks as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard so I will have them on a leash outdoors. I do allow the babies to come inside my home as well. I have a spare room for the animals to play or rest. I can crate in my home as well.
