Grace Ann did a great job caring for my 2 fur kids (dog & cat). She was very patient with my dog as they got to know each other- he can be very shy and a bit scared with new people. I truly appreciate her understanding and patience. Her calm presence was immediately felt by him and put him at ease. I will be booking Grace Anne again!

We are new to the area so we are very nervous about leaving our pets with someone we did not know. But James did absolutely amazing job! It was amazing to know our pets were well taken care of and happy in their own home. We will for sure be asking James to come and sit with our pets again!

About: I have been an animal lover since birth and getting to care and hang out with animals for a job is such a blessing! I am a Pet Sitters International & Fear Free Certified Pet Sitter. This isn't a side gig or a hobby for me - it's my full time job! Your pet's care is ALWAYS my first priority. Continuing education has paved the path to a greater understanding of what it takes to be one of the best pet sitters around. It gives me so much joy to give my clients peace of mind while they're away! I treat every animal - and home - with all of the love and respect that they deserve. If I arrive for a visit and find something amiss, rest assured that you'll be notified. I'm also prepared for emergency situations, from medical emergencies to weather and home appliance failures, I have many dog years' of experience. 😀 I'm available for pets every day of the week. I schedule my first visit at 8am, my last at 9pm. I am available outside of those hours as well, for an additional fee of $10 per visit. Additional areas of expertise include dog walking, behavior and training basics, enrichment, home life, travel, administering medications, and first aid. My goal is to provide top-level Fear Free care to pets and provide you with basic support and advice. Prior to starting my local pet sitting business, I worked in dual healthcare positions. My experience in nursing paired with previous veterinary guidance can be especially helpful with special needs and senior pets. I look forward to working with you and your fur family!

Charlayne is a literal animal whisperer. My cats have never approached sitters and usually stay hidden. My feral who doesn’t even approach my husband much was in love with Charlayne. She is so gentle and does a great job at giving animals space to decide how close they want to be. I tried to help her understand my feral with a lot of messages on “how to” do things. She was never offended and tried all my suggestions. They formed a close bond very quickly.

100% would rehire Aleisa! After a 10 day trip away, our house was left in spotless condition and our Wendy was happy and healthy. Wendy is a timid dog and the only thing she really needs is attention and love and she definitely received that! So happy we found Aleisa!!

This is our first time using a dog/house sitter. Charlene is the BEST! She kept us updated with pictures and texts letting us know how our dog was doing, showered him with love, kept him active and well cared for. I would HIGHLY reccommend Charlene.

Heather did an excellent job watching my pups! She went above and beyond taking care of them and my house. I just moved into a new home and she even helped clean/unpack some and it was truly appreciated! I would definitely use her again and trust she would do a great job!

About: I have had dogs in my family all my life. I worked at a pet boarding center called Circle Star Pet Resort and will always take cute pictures of your fur babies! I used to foster dogs, but I get too attached to those babies so I couldn’t do it anymore :( I have helped out with bathing and taking care of some of the top show dogs in our country which has been the best opportunity of my life! Due to that my prices are a bit higher but I have the experience! I have a dog myself who is the sweetest baby ever! He loves it when I bring home a friend so they will have plenty of playtime together!

I offer everything from simple walks to extended visits. Please let me know about any special needs or daily activities that your pet has so that i can properly implement them into today.
