“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”
“Sophia was great! 10 out of 10 would recommend for sitting your pet! We were able to meet her before she stayed at our house! This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs for a few days to head to vacation and she was always sending us updated on how they were doing! We will be rebooking with Sophia for our next vacation to stay with our 2 dogs!”
About: Growing up my house was never empty and always filled with dogs! Currently I own one australian shepherd and one black lab who are my entire world! Over the course of my childhood, and entering adulthood my passion for pet care has solidified, and enabled me to not only take care of my own pets, but volunteer my time to friends, family, and shelters. I have walked dogs, played with them, planned house visits, and more! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently out of school for the summer so my schedule has lots of availability for pet-care, specifically dog walking. On most days I’m out of the house by 9 and available early in the mornings and in the afternoon for service! I love to go on walks, which have become apart of my daily routine leaving plenty of space for some furry friends to tag along! I’m comfortable visiting your home and looking after your dog. This includes playing, letting out, or taking the dog on walks throughout the day, or on routine schedule.
“It’s so much easier to relax on a vacation when you know your dogs are being cared for so well, and that is how we feel when Jennifer stays with ours! She is considerate and attentive, sending pictures and updates often. As attached as our two are to me, it’s obvious they have a great time with her!”
About: I just finished my first year of veterinary school and have a bachelors degree in Animal Science. Prior to vet school, and during my summers and school breaks, I work as a kennel attendant at a doggie daycare/kennel and a veterinary assistant. In college I was also part of a club that trained guide dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I have lots of dog/cat sitting experience, as well as experience with horses, rabbits, and various other pets. I am comfortable administering medications and insulin as well. I love all animals and can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am currently available most days of the week and weekends. I will be in the area until the end of August when I will move back to school. I can provide care for pets in your home and tend to their specific needs. I experience working with a wide variety of pets, including puppies/kittens, seniors, and animals who require medication or insulin injections. I do not offer pet care in my home as of now.
“Carly was AMAZING! It was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our house and it was for an extended period of time. Finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter was my main concern for our trip, but Carley alleviated all of my concerns. She sent regular photos and updates, and we came back to our home in perfect condition. All of the animals love her and I already have her booked for our next trip!”
“Haley did everything that I asked of her and more. She was extremely responsive, sent many photos, and provided constant updates which made me as a pet parent extremely happy to know that my pup was in good hands. The house was in perfect condition when I got back home as well. Will definitely re-book again! Thank you Haley!”

“Stacy did a great job taking care of our home! Our kitties loved her and she gave them lots of attention. We had a battery go out in our gas fireplace and she called us to talk about the issue. The she found a you tube video and figured out how to replace the battery. We were grateful to not have to stress about it. Most importantly, our fur babies were comfortable with her!”
“Audrey was wonderful with our dog, Roux. We had never left her with anyone besides family before, and were a little nervous. Audrey made sure she was comfortable, and felt safe and loved while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures whenever we needed them, because we missed her since we had never been away from her for so long before. We came home to a very happy dog! We would highly recommend Audrey.”

A total natural with dogs! Jennifer has a wonderful approach to animal care and is very reliable. She took excellent care of my pets paying special attention to a new rescue dog— helping her learn new things and to feel safe. Great communicator and house guest.
Tori was amazing while we were away for our wedding and honeymoon. She stayed at our home for 10 days with our two XL bullies, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. We originally booked for 3 dogs, but had to put our Frenchie, Izzy, down the week before we left. Tori was incredibly understanding and even helped us figure out the refund for the third dog during such a difficult time, which meant so much to us. She communicated consistently, sent photos, and took great care of our dogs. They were happy and well cared for when we got back. She also went above and beyond by cleaning the floors, washing towels, and even changing the couch cover before we came home. Highly recommend Tori, reliable, thoughtful, and truly cares.
Cassie is the BEST! My first time ever using a pet sitter for my dog and it went flawlessly. Better than I could have hoped! My dog lost his best friend last year and he’s been very anxious when left home since, as he is completely alone now. He has a heart condition so I wanted to make sure he didn’t get too worked up while we went away. Cassie kept him so happy, I don’t think he even noticed we were gone! A short time after we got home and settled in I caught him in the window waiting for her to come back and although I felt bad, it was so awesome that we found someone he loves! So thankful to her for her services and the peace of mind. Also she’s takes phenomenal pictures 👌🏻
Dana was fantastic with my dogs while I was away! She was a clean and respectful house guest, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and even took the dogs for a nice walk. When I got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
Leigh took great care of our two dogs and house while we were out of town. Daisy and CharLee were well cared for and given lots of affection and attention. She went above and beyond in looking after our dogs and keeping them company while we were gone. It was comforting for us and allowed us to enjoy our vacation a little bit more knowing that Daisy and CharLee were in such good hands.
We just used Thienne for the first time add loved her! She dog and home sat for us. She was tested on the first night as my dogs came in contact with a skunk and were spayed. She worked hard to bathe the dogs, get fresh air into the house and protect furniture and beds. She was flexible when sleeping in the guest room because our room smelled like skunk. She walked the dogs regularly, gave medication and food & water regularly. I love that she sent me two texts daily with pictures informing me of their day. I also came home to a clean house. Thank you Thienne for the incredible care you provided for my two dogs! I will absolutely use her again and would recommend her to anyone else.
