Karie was absolutely wonderful caring for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was always sending photos of the dogs and making sure they were well cared for. We would highly recommend Karie for all of your animal needs!

She did a great job. Everything went smoothly, the house was clean when I got home, and the dogs were happy and well cared for. I’d absolutely book with her again.

We could not have had a better experience working with Jarett. It was our first long trip away from Oliver, and he went above and beyond not only to make sure Oliver was taken care of, but that we were updated often. Thanks to Jarett, we were able to relax on vacation and come home to a happy pup and our house exactly as we left it.

Kaelyn was an incredible sitter! We love our fur babies so much and were nervous when our previous sitter fell through, but Kaelyn was available, professional and made us feel so comfortable. She did a fantastic job taking care of our animals and house sitting despite it being in partial renovations. She is reliable, caring and sent lots of pictures and updates. Thank you for taking care of our babies!

About: I am deaf, so I am able to bond with pets more because they cannot communicate their needs with humans. I am likewise, so I hope to communicate with gestures as they may did. I am studying in a certificate program, so that shouldn’t be a problem. I will work during the workdays, and I can be available during weekends. I have two kittens and three koi fishes. They are fed once in the mornings or evenings. I cuddle them for some time but left them to wander wherever their curiosity attracted them. My cats like to sit on my chest or necks when they wished to, but I left them to their desires when they want to.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with pets at every life stage—from playful puppies needing basic training and structure, to senior pets who require patience, gentleness, and sometimes mobility support. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I also genuinely enjoy the behind-the-scenes work like cleaning litter boxes and keeping feeding areas tidy. I treat every pet like family, creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for one pup and a cat at home, so my day starts and ends with feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m already in the rhythm of regular potty breaks, exercise, and cleaning litter boxes, which makes it easy for me to integrate additional pet care responsibilities. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules or just giving extra attention, I enjoy making animals feel safe and happy every day. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things consistent with how they normally care for their pets. I follow all instructions closely, to maintain a clean, calm space. Whether I’m dropping in, staying overnight, or just stopping by for a walk, I treat every pet and home with respect and care.

About: **Pet profiles without pictures & info present will not be considered!** * My Pricing is based off of full time at home care, curated to your pets normal routine so nothing changes for them while you're away! Animals are my passion and I’ve always been able to connect with them easily. I feel they deserve the same love and protection that our two-legged family members receive. I’ve been volunteering and employed with animal groups since I was 15. I’ve studied animals enough to know that each of them need different levels of energy, care and patience. My trainings are in pet CPR and first aid as well as having connections with several local vet offices. Your fur baby will be safe with me and I look forward to expanding my list of furry pack members ! (Please check out my photo gallery to see all the animals I’ve had the pleasure of caring for over the years, as well as comfy pictures of my home) I work from home full time on my own schedule. My availability is very flexible so I am almost always available and ready to meet a new pet ! I have a one floor home hardwood flooring so accidents are fine ! I am familiar with administering medication, CPR and first aid if ever needed. My home is a loving place made for lots of comfort, multiple doggie beds in each room and my couches welcome furry cuddles at all times.

Sadie was the best choice I could have made to watch my dogs while on vacation. She was knowledgeable of how to handle my “dog reactive” dog and took the stress away from having to leave my dogs behind. She gave them so much love and attention. She even trimmed their nails for me. I cannot recommend her enough!

This was the first time we used Courtney to watch our pup. She was responsive and sent us lots of pictures of Molly. When we came home, the only evidence of Courtney being there was our happy and well cared for pup. She left the house in impeccable order. We will definitely be using Courtney again!

Bryce followed all care instructions for Max. It was great to receive daily pictures of Max during walks or breaks. He did a great job caring for our family pet while being away overseas. I highly recommend him and look forward to needing him again in the future. Thanks for caring for Max!
