“I enjoyed having Danielle care for Trixie, our cat, during our travels. She communicated very well about Trixie's behavior and care. She tried different solutions for a few problem situations, but overall she did a really great job with Trixie. I would easily sign her up to do more pet care for Trixie. She came in every other day to provide brushing, food service, litter cleaning, etc.”
“Rachel is a treasure. Rachel has watched my two cats twice. This second time was while I was camping for the weekend with very limited cell service. It was really reassuring to know my fur babies were in such capable hands while I was away!”
“Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Katie is so great! She is perfect to trust with your friend. She sends updates and pics and follows directions well.”
“Chloé was absolutely wonderful checking in our our two precious kitties!”
“Talia was great and pleasant to meet. She was on time and reliable and took great pictures of the dogs. We will try to work with her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Ireland! Growing up with dogs, I have years of firsthand experience in caring for them, from feeding and grooming to basic training, and being CPR & FIRST AID Certified making me the perfect fit for any medical emergency that might occur. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets—I am dedicated to ensuring every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-attended to. I prioritize meeting each pet’s needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I understand that every pet has its own personality and requirements, and I take the time to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and treated with kindness. I’m majoring in Animal Ecology and this summer I have online classes so I will be more available than I am in fall, winter, and spring. On weekends, I travel home to care for my family’s animals, further reinforcing my commitment to animal welfare. I love to make sure that your pet feels at home even when away from home, I can mimic your daily schedule as best as possible and provide as many or as little updates as you wish! Whether it's every other day or every hour, I'll make it happen. There's no smoking or any sort of paraphernalia allowed in my home, as my family has a history of health issues.

About: In our household we have 80+ years of animal experiance and care. Family, friends, coworkers and neighbors have trusted us with care of their pets and farm animals. We have helped others with training of puppies and behaviorial issues. We have rescued and raised dozens of dogs in our life time, several given to us because their owners were not able to handle them. The household work schedule is pretty flexible and typically having just 1 to 3 hours of the day without someone at home. We can assist with pick up and delivery if need be. We do live in the country with a large fenced yard, which is divided so if seperation is available if needed. So everyone has acess to plenty of fresh air and exercise, as well as interaction with our dogs. We have 3 dogs of our own with great social skils of their own. Typically there are only a couple hours during the day that neither of us are home. We try to be flexible with pick up and drop off times. We do try to avoid appointments after 8pm. We have 2 large fenced yards, so everyone can have plenty of room to roam. The dogs spend time with us on the couch or even sleep with us ar night. We do have the ability to separate those that need their own space or to be crated.
“Booked Kate for a drop in visit and she fed, walked, and played with Wally in our back yard. She sent pics & updates. Love knowing our pup is well cared for when we book with Kate!”
