“Haydee was dependable—great at communicating, showing up, and spending time with my cats. Everything was clean and in order when I came home and the cats were fine.”


About: I have grown up with dogs. I don't currently have a dog, I lost my fur baby a couple years ago I have experience house sitting, while watching pets. I am active, responsible, honest and a caring and patient person who loves animals. I am comfortable with all size and breeds of dogs I will feed them, refresh their water,play and walk them. I will give them all the love and snuggles they deserve. I do have a full time job M-Th 3 1/2 days a week. I have plenty of time evenings on those days and all day F-Su. I I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live in an area secure for great walks. I do allow animals on the furniture.

About: I have loved and trained dogs my whole life. I am a retired certified K-9 trainer and handler with 10 years experience. Dogs are one of my biggest joys in life. I am semi-retired professional and have a very flexible schedule to care for the dogs in my life. Dogs deserve lots of love and time for all the joy they give each of us. I offer a huge (free roam) fenced yard. I also have a kennel in the back yard with heated dog houses if needed. A doggie shower and a large kennel are available inside a heated garage. I allow dogs in my home. Numerous dog walks per day are a must. I will be honest, trustworthy and respectful when visiting your home. My property is dog safe.

“Jenn did an amazing job watching our dog! Her checkin reports were so fun to read and the photos were a great reassurance of our pup having a great time during their walks, snuggles and play. Jenn had some great single-ingredient treat recommendations for my pups sensitive diet and even left us a couple to try. I look forward to the ease of using Jenn while we are away overnight again knowing our pup will be cared for greatly. Thanks Jenn!”


About: I’ve been around dogs for my entire life! We have our own pups, and love to go on hikes. Caring for animals is a huge passion in this household. I work full-time from home and am able to take care of dogs all day. I am able to let dogs out at any time, and there is lots of space for yard romping. The one things all dogs need is compassion, trust, and love. We have a fenced yard that is great for playing, and lots of neighborhood walkers that bring treats by!

“Krista was amazing with our high energy lab Sig and our other dog Banjo. She ensured their food and water was full, and played with them in our backyard for check ins while we were out of town. We loved seeing the pictures she sent and felt at ease while we were out of town. We will for sure have Krista watch our dogs again. Thank you!”


About: I have had dogs, cats, horses, and chickens all my life. I am not ready for a dog of my own, but I miss dog time since moving from home. I would love a walking buddy! I used to train dogs and compete in agility shows, maybe I can teach your pup a new trick :) I work a 9-5 type job. I can work from home sometimes, and could also go home at lunch if I was sitting for a dog to walk it mid-day. I don’t have any other pets so this pup would get lots of love! I would definitely take the pup walking twice daily if I were dog sitting.

“Lily did an excellent job looking after our dogs and horses! We were able to leave them with total peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. I’m picky when it comes to who watches our fur babies…we will continue to use Lily whenever we can book with her!”

“Molly watched my two cats for a week and I came home to happy well fed kittys. She texted me any questions she had about their care and sent me pictures daily. One of my cats needs twice daily medicine and Molly had no issues with giving her the medicine.

Virginia P.
“Ginger has been watching my dog Ember since she was a puppy, and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with her. Ember has some fear and anxiety, and can be reactive in certain situations—but Ginger has always handled her with so much care, patience, and understanding. She truly creates an environment where Ember can thrive. Every time I pick her up, she’s happy, relaxed, and completely worn out from all the fun she’s had. It’s clear Ginger treats Ember like one of her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I’m so grateful to have her!”
