“Kaitlin was awesome with our cats. She provided great details and pictures with every visit, which made being away so much easier. Would definitely use her services again.”
“Amber Dawn is the best! We often work with her to take care of our two cats when my partner and I are out of town - she is responsive and does a great job! Would recommend 10/10!”
“Madi swooped in the save the day when our original sitter had to cancel! She’s a very quick communicator and willing to do better than her best! Madi is very kind and you can tell she loves animals! Her visit summaries were very detailed and came with pictures which were great to see, since we were missing the kitties! Thank you again Madi! We highly recommend!”
About: Flexible schedule, lots of trails in my area for your puppies to explore, trustworthy, dependable and easily contacted. I’ve had pets of my own in the past that I loved and adored, and currently have a 3 year old eskimo/chihuahua that I adopted from the local shelter who loves to play w other dogs. I work three 12 hour shifts a week, meaning those 4 days off are great opportunities for me to walk your dog(s), stop in and check on them or stay with them. I understand the value of daily exercise and mental stimulation for a dog, so I will ensure they are getting their steps in. I also understand not everyone has the time or ability to ensure their pets receive daily exercise/time outside, and with my flexible schedule I would love to give you some peace of mind that your pet is having all of their needs met.
About: Hello! My name is Coleen and I have grown up around all kinds of animals. Now that I’m an empty nester and not able to have pets in my current home, I am looking to fill the void by loving on other people’s fur babies! Please message me with any questions or to discuss me assisting you with your pet sitter needs. I work full time, but am happy to help whenever I can! I’m available most weekends and evenings. Please message me and we can discuss my availability! Safety is my number one priority when it comes to looking after your pet. Please let me know if you have any concerns or if your pet has any tendencies that might put them in danger. Thanks!
About: With five years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care, gained from working at various doggie daycare and boarding facilities. I also provide home visits, walks, and host dogs in my own home. I foster for a rescue, ensuring that my personal fosters and client dogs are kept separate. I live with two cats, one of whom is very dog-friendly, and two female dogs who are more reserved, preferring interactions on their own terms. My male Pitbull, however, is very playful. All my dogs are comfortable crating overnight and when I'm at work. I can only board male dogs, or smaller, submissive female dogs under 30 pounds. I work part time I’m the summer with a varying schedule. During the school year I am a teacher. I am gone from 7:30-4 daily. When dogs visit my home they are leashed in the yard, and will probably keep a drag leash on them while they learn the boundaries of the home. I will crate and rotate if needed to give the dogs time to settle in. I can provide mealtime enrichment in the forms of snuffle mats, frozen meals fillable treat toys, puzzle treats, snuffle games etc. I have boundaries in my home when it comes to behavior and dogs will get breaks in their kennel as needed for cool down time or an overstimulation break. If a dog has structural needs or some behavioral concerns, I am happy to talk about how/if I can accommodate them in my home. We have an abundance of chew toys, stuffies, and balls for dogs to play with but we can also remove them if your dog has some resource guarding tendencies with new dogs. When doing drop ins in a client home I make sure to be non threatening when arriving and giving the dogs lots of space and time to get used to me before expecting to take them out of their crate. I would need a breakdown of the house rules and can hold the boundaries needed. For walks, I don’t want to be tugged around, so I can provide alternate tools to help the dog walk better, including but limited to; head halters, front clip harnesses, slip leads, prong collars(I am trained in how to fit and use them properly). This can all be a discussion before services are scheduled. I also prefer to meet all my clients beforehand to ensure a proper fit for my home. All of my dogs are utd on their Rabies & Distemper/Parvo vaccines as well as spayed and neutered. They receive flea and tick preventatives monthly. Any dog I take into my care will need to be utd on distemper/Parvo and rabies vaccines at a minimum. No UNspayed females. UNneutered males will be a case by case basis. They will also need to be on flea and tick preventatives as well. Preferably oral. Over the counter topicals don’t work well.
About: I am comfortable with puppy sitting, I take care of my grandparents cats when they are on vacation, along with this I am also an amazing nanny! Currently, I am nannying three days a week 8 AM to 4 PM, 1 1/2 weeks in June I will be working as a camp nanny 8 AM to 9:30 PM. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a drop-in, I care for your pets like they’re my own. I stick to their routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship—whatever helps them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I’m gentle, patient, and always respectful of your home, keeping things clean and just as you left them. I also make sure you stay in the loop with updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands—whether it’s for the night or just a quick check-in.
About: Hey, I’m Marley! I worked at Animal Care Center in Baxter for about a year, and I have had a few years of experience in pet sitting even before then. I have a 60lb Plott Hound mix named Mo that took a LOT of training (he was a stray down south), but he’s the friendliest dog you’ll ever meet! He gets along perfectly with all the people and pets I’ve introduced him to. I also have an 80lb Great Pyrenees mix from Texas (named Rory!) that just turned one, and he's learning insanely fast how to be a good boy! I have a lot of experience with a lot of different pet personalities, and am willing to take on any sort of challenges you’d present to me! I work part time, but I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work around almost anything that is thrown at me. I am only working part time at the moment, so I have plenty of spare time to spend with your animals, whether it be day or night. I have basic training in crating/kenneling animals, and have plenty of experience in calming down rowdy critters. I know how to de-escalate situations with stressed-out animals as well.

Cristina F.
“Cristina took care of Viggo exactly the way he needed her to. He's so fussy and particular, and was very happy when I got home. Everything was perfect.”
Hanna T.
“Hanna was wonderful. She took very good care of our animals. They really loved her as well. I highly recommend using Hanna!”
Marley P.
“To all that are interested in letting Marley take care of your pets. I totally trust her to give them more than enough attention! She loves animals and I can vouch for her, because I work at a Vet Clinic as she does, so I see her love and affection of each pet that walks in our Clinics door! I can ask her, without any advanced planning to watch my Goldens, kitties and birds and she will step forward and do it. She has never disappointed me! She spends extra time at my house giving my kitties love! Most wouldn’t do that! She is totally dependable and worth more than she is paid ! I will vouch for her 100%!! This is all factual!”
