“Amanda is my most trusted Rover. She's very good with the dogs and always very respectful in my home. Overly so! She's a wonderful human and you should hire her.”


“Tori has been so wonderful with my dachshund, Reggie. Since coming to the area, he has been quite stressed and not himself. He has been a little testy with Tori and she has handled it beautifully. We will be using her as long as we can!”


“Erica and Christopher were amazing and extremely professional! My usual sitter had cancelled on me last minute and they were able to fill in for them. They made sure to feed my kitties the correct diets and gave them some playtime, and it was almost like no one had ever left home! I highly recommend their services”


“We used Rinnah for the first time to do a drop in visit and we loved her! She was very responsive when we first sent our request and was able to come over ahead of time to meet our dogs. During the check in, she confirmed in the morning and let us know when she was arriving. She took the 30 minutes to let them out and play with them, which we so appreciated since we kennel them when we are gone. Not only did she communicate with us during the visit, but she also sent us videos and pictures. I think we found our new dog sitter and will be using her more in the future. Thank you, Rinnah, for loving on our dogs!”



“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our senior kitty! She took the time to give her pets and play with her during her drop-in visits, and sent us daily pictures!”


“Jayda is great with my pups & respectful of my home. I'm excited to have her house-sit for me soon. Jasper & Lila love to spend time with her! I feel very comfortable leaving my pups in her care.”


“Alysa is very sweet with our pups. Communication is top notch and we feel peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help!”


About: I have taken care of family pets, neighbors pets, strangers, and even my own! I am the animal lover of the family and I'm proud to make that known, I am always being asked to pet sit or even to just come over to walk their dog, and I am always pleased to do so since I enjoy the company of animals very much! I have taken care of older and younger animals and have experience with puppies and kittens. I currently work a part time job as a specials needs care giver. My schedule stays consistent and I always work 9am-6pm on Sundays, 12pm-8pm on Mondays and 4pm-8 pm Tuesdays, and have two overnights Thursday and Friday from 8pm-730am. I'm always up and ready to go a few hours before each of my shifts to make sure I can do what I need to do before heading to work. I am fortunate enough to have my parents help out with the animals as needed to ensure routine care, whether that's being fed, going on walks, being let outside or even being played with so my fur babies are never lonely. I have a fenced in yard so the my three dogs are able to roam freely throughout the day and when it is not nice outside, they always get kenneled due to our cat that likes to cause mischief with the boxer. We have a strict feeding schedule which starts with breakfast no later than 8am and dinner at 6pm with occasional treats throughout the day, and being let outside after each feeding for as long as they need until they are ready to come back inside before being let out for the day. Will follow strict routines you have for your pet as long as it works out with my schedule for my job.

“Could not be happier. Joy has done a wonderful job. From the pictures she sent it's obvious that she loves cats and they love her back. I will definitely use Joy again.”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter!! Sarah showed up just as she had told me, sent me great pictures and updates and even cleaned up after my cats!! She will be my only “go to” for my cats from now on!!”

About: I have been an animal person since I was just a little girl and value reliable care for my own fur babies when I need it. Would love to provide you piece of mind, and your animals the care they need, while you're away. I can give meds, work with young and senior animals, any size fur baby. I have 3 of my own from 55-95 lbs. I have an erratic schedule at work but only work 3 days per week. I will probably start out only accepting opportunities on my days off so that I can be completely available to meet your needs and make sure your pet is cared for. I have 3 dogs at home but am available to care for your pet in your home. I will be sure to follow your guidelines for any animal restrictions in your home. In my home I have a separate indoor kennel space that can be used to keep animals separated if needed.

“Morgan did a wonderful job of taking care of our cats while we were out. We have a senior cat who is blind and needs regular medication- Morgan a great job making sure all his needs were met.

“We had such a great experience with our pet sitter, Lucy! She took amazing care of our kitties, Dumbo and Lizzie, while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Lucy was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure our pets felt comfortable and loved. We came home to two happy animals and everything in perfect order. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”


About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician, a licensed positive reinforcement Canine Obedience Instructor, and am Pet CPR and First Aid certified! I have cared for pets for most of my life, with all stages of lives and medical needs. I have experience with caring for young through senior age, diabetics, surgical recovery pets, pets with behavioral needs, and everyday average happy kiddos! I can make nearly any pet care situation work. I have flexible hours, rates, and am always open for discussion! I have experience with large animal, small mammal, aquatics, birds, and dogs/cats. I have made pet care my entire life. I continue to strive to be the best I can be for my own pets, and am happy to extend that love out to other peoples' pets as well. I have an open schedule so that I can be available when people need. I am currently in the process of fencing my yard. At this time, we take on-leash walks in the neighborhood. The yard is monitored and we have a security system that alerts us to movement outside, so that we don't have accidental run-ins with moose. Pets are not left outside unattended. Kitties are restricted to indoor only, and can have their own private room if needed. My personal pets are crate trained, so that if I have a non-social pet in the home, I am able to give them the space they need. If I am in a client's home, I do not bring visitors, I do not bring my own pets, and I make accommodations for each situations specific needs. All pets are cared for to the standard that I would expect my own to be cared for. I am dependable, honest, and will always do my best to do exactly what is asked of me.

“Alexis is awesome! She did a great job with our 3 dogs. 2 youngish sisters that are active and my 14+ year old GSD buddy. The old man is doing well but showing his age. Alexis met the needs of young and old alike. Highly recommended by our whole pack.”


“I needed once again a short notice person. Of course Mrs. Gloria comes to the rescue. Thank you Gloria for the quick response. She comes on time, communicates, takes excellent care of our fur babies. Locks up. Perfect visits. I highly recommended her”


“Carolyn was phenomenal! Punctual, communicative, and great with the dogs. Everything we have been looking for and more! Will definitely book again with her.”
