“Kailie is great! Watched our 2 year old Golden for 5 days with no issues whatsoever. Our boy seems to enjoy her company, would not hesitate having her back.”
“super responsive and wonderful with our pup!”
“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”
“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”
“Stacie took great care of our three dogs! She was also tidy while staying in our home, and was a great communicator. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch the pups again, and would highly recommend her services.”
“Shalee did an amazing job pet sitting in my home while I was out of town. Definitely will be asking for more booking in the future!”
“Kaeleen watched our dog Sadie and cat Mac for a week. She took great care of them. She provided updates and sent pictures. She was respectful to our home. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a great in-house sitter!”
“There aren’t enough good things to say about Danielle! From start to finish she was a super professional, and it’s very clear that she is a true dog lover. My wife is really anxious about leaving our dog with anyone, even family, but from day one with Danielle she was so detail oriented, asked the right questions, and sent so many great updates, that even a nervous dog mom felt 100% confident. Honestly, I think Finley had a better time with Danielle than he usually has with us! Not only was our buddy in great hands, but the house was spotless when we returned. We hope to hire Danielle many times again in the future!”
About: I am mostly interested in hosting cats but if you have a well tempered pup I would be willing to discuss if we would be a good match. I have time before I go to work (from 6 am to 8 am) to check on animals and after I get out at 5:00 pm I am available Monday through Friday. Saturday's I am available after 1 pm and Sunday I have open availability. I love cats and want them to feel most comfortable. Give me a list of their likes and dislikes and I will be sure that we will have a splendid time!
“Deanna is absolutely wonderful! She has such a warm, calm energy which is an ideal for animal care. I never have to worry when I leave my dog as she is very equipped to deal with anything that may arise. My dog becomes very relaxed in her care. I will continue to schedule house sitting with Deanna moving forward without a doubt.”
About: Hiya! My names Elias. I offer my services to pet sit and take care of your dogs, cats, fish, snakes, you name it. All I’d need is what feeding, walking, and interactive guidelines you have and I’ll be sure to meet them! I have had cats and dogs my whole life, currently 2 cats and 2 dogs that live with my parents while I’m in school, and have worked both with a diabetic cat as well as disabled cats at a shelter back in highschool. I’ve also house/pet sat for family in recent years. Currently I am a full time college student with some days less packed than others, so im happy to work on setting up times and dates that work best for you! 47 acres of woods, if dog has poor recall a leash will be kept on to avoid getting loose or lost. In own and clients home, dietary needs and feeding times will be stuck to as to ensure that your furry friend is as comfortable as possible. I also have a car, so traveling to your home is no issue for me. Happy to take dog on walks wherever client feels comfortable having me do so of course.
“Emily immediately connected with Frankie, kept him calm and happy in a new setting (we were traveling for a wedding). I’d hire her again in a heartbeat when I’m next in the area. She even gave him an insulin shot which she’d never done before! Top notch sitter.”
About: I have had dogs for all of my life. Through the years I have had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and several mixed-breed dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, managing multiple online jobs. This allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day to give your pet attention, exercise, and any care they need, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. I live in a somewhat secluded area, which makes it easy to take dogs outside for walks or playtime, either on-leash or off-leash, depending on their comfort level and training. My home has plenty of space for dogs to play indoors, so they can stay active and entertained no matter the weather. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, both inside and outside.
“We really appreciated Emily staying with our fur babies and we will be trusting her with all our future visits! She did a great job of keeping us updated and making sure their needs were met.”
About: Hi! My name is Aly and I’m 18. I love going on walks and playing with cats and dogs. As well as just lounging around. I am currently in school, so weekends and nights would work best until mid May. Over the summer I will be available at all times. My dogs were all crate trained, its always an easy way to keep them calm. I am used to multiple strong dogs pulling on walks
“Our dogs loved having Hayley to hang out with. She has a caring, calm and confident energy about her. We will definitely contact her again in the future to stay with the dogs”
“Lizzie was great with the dogs and everyone was happy on our return. Lizzie was on time and dependable. Everyone was loved as one of her own. I would definitely recommend.”
“Jackie was incredible with our frenchie!!! Milli was so happy every day to see her and spend time together. They formed a close bond after a short time :)”
“Morgen was just amazing! Very quick to respond, great with duke and confident. Morgen took great care of duke in our home and was very respectful and polite. We will definitely rebook her!!”
“Brandy provides thorough and loving care to your critters when you need to be away. We are so grateful for the gentle care she provided our kitties (and the chicken care too)! Brandy also provided oral and topical meds for our older cats. We highly recommend her.”

Elias V.
“Eli has spent a lot of time with my dogs. He shows them so much love, immediately getting on the floor to greet the puppy playfully, and responding to the older dog with belly rubs and affection. Eli demonstrates an understanding of dog behavior and development such as positively redirecting the teething puppy with chew toys. He is responsible and timely, showing up when he says that he will. I trust Eli with my dogs not only because of the observable interactions, but also because he genuinely loves my dogs. I highly recommend Eli as a responsible, experienced caregiver for dogs.”

Richard & Hope R.
“Richard has been renting from me for about six months and helping with the dogs I have here when I get busy. He has helped in the past when I have needed an extra helper with some of the dogs I have. He helps me to organize the feeding and sometimes brings them out for walks so we can get them out in a timely manner. He is a loving and responsible person who can be trusted with your dog as he has always had dogs in his life, getting his first dog (a Great Dane mix) when he was ten years old. He has cared for my dog Maebe numerous times and she loves him dearly.”
