Emma helped me out big time when I needed a last minute drop in for my standard poodle mix Nilla. She sent me updates and Nilla was happy to have the company! She followed all directions seamlessly and asked questions if she had them. Would definitely recommend Emma and am looking forward to reaching out to her in the future!

Kacey did the most amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs!! We never leave our dogs, and Kacey made us feel so comfortable with them being in her care. She took great care of them, they loved her so much, and we really enjoyed her updates and pictures! She was also very flexible with us and was able to make a couple of last minute changes in drop - in visits! We can’t wait to use Kacey again!

About: Hi, I’m Salana! I’ve been pet and farm sitting for 10+ years and previously owned my own pet and farm sitting business. As a proud fur mom to two Dobermans, I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs and pets of all personalities. I also have experience caring for all types of farm animals, along with most household pets. I’m trustworthy, responsible, and truly love caring for animals like they’re my own. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies soon! I currently work part-time evenings, so I have plenty of time for walks and drop-in visits before and after work. I’m also available some weekends! I love getting outside, staying active, and meeting new furry friends along the way. I care for your pets like they’re my own — with lots of love, cuddles, attention, and exercise! As a Doberman mom, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I’ve had various of animals my whole life. I’ve had animals of all scales, from cows & horses, to lizards & ferrets. As well as training various of dogs from all different breeds, I understand your “scary” dog, as well as your sweet little lap dog! Between my previous employment at a boarding facility and my current employment at the animal shelter, i’ve worked and handled many different personality’s and breeds of dogs and cats. I have a part time job at the animal shelter, I typically only work from 9/10am-5pm on 1-2 weekdays. So I have plenty of time in the afternoon to drop in, or some time to get a walk or two in after work on weekdays. The days I don’t work I can come to your home whenever! I work 9-5 on weekends but i’m willing to come hangout with your fur baby’s afterward. I unfortunately can’t have fur babies come to my house, but i’m more than happy to come to you! I will keep your dogs on leash if you don’t have a fenced backyard, unless informed otherwise. I will also bring your pups on walks, I will keep them on leash, and use an extra leash if needed.

Morgan was fantastic! I was out of town and the person I had to watch my dog fell through and she went over and took care of Zoie. She took pictures and let me know everything went great. I will definitely be asking Morgan to help out again.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since high school. I have dog sat at many homes and have had dogs in my own home as well. I am currently working full-time but do work from home on Fridays. My partner works 0.3 miles from our home and comes home for lunch everyday. I am home from work around 5pm everyday. I have two fur babies that can keep your fur baby(ies) company while you are away. They are very friendly towards other dogs! We have a big back yard to play. We offer snuggles on the couch and in bed. Walks are necessary and the deck in the back is great for some sun!

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, and even went to Vet Tech school for 1 year. I had a diabetic cat so I am familiar with giving medicine and injections. I work full time from home during the day. I take breaks every hour or so. We are typically home in the evening and weekends to love and play with your animals as well as our own. I have a fenced in back yard and a playful dog to keep your fur baby company while you are away. My dog no longer needs to be kenneled when I am away or at night. I can accommodate whatever you are most comfortable with.

Madison did an excellent job with my dog, Simon. Her communication was fantastic and she did a great job sticking to Simon’s schedule. To top it off, I could tell Simon was well taken care of as he was a happy puppy when I got home. I highly reccomend Madison for any pet care needs!

About: I’ve been a dog owner since the age of 8. I love taking dogs on walks, pet sitting and especially taking my dog to the off the leash dog park where she is happiest. I’m very good with all types of dogs and very patient. My wife calls me the dog whisperer. My weeknights are free and weekends are free. My wife works the opposite schedule as me so she is available during the day. It works for both dog walking and pet sitting. I have a very sweet Alaskan Husky who loves going to the dog park and is very sweet and very good with all types of dogs. We have a fenced in backyard and a pet friendly home. We have three kids who love dogs and 1 dog of our own. We love caring for dogs and getting them (and me) plenty of exercise.

About: Hi! I’m Megan! I’ve grown up with two labs my entire life and now I have my own 3 year old yellow lab. My dogs growing up had several medical issues so I have had experience with medication and older dogs. I do work Monday - Friday so I prefer not to do overnights during the week if possible. I absolutely love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I take my dog for lots of walks, hikes, and playing fetch so I’m happy to do the same with yours! If the dog stays at my house, our dog is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! I live in a house with my fiancé so we have lots of room for your dog!

About: I’ve worked as a dog bather and receptionist at a grooming salon, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and love spending time with pets—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels happy and safe while you’re away. I work at the Boys & Girls Club three evenings a week and have classes a few hours during the day, so I have plenty of time to care for pets around my schedule. On my days off or between classes, I can focus on walks, playtime, and keeping your pets happy and comfortable. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I’ll make sure your furry friends get consistent attention and care. I follow your pet’s usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime. I make sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I currently work full time. I don’t work Mondays so I would be perfect for a long weekend. I work longer days so I am open to being available for any dog but I leave home early in the morning and I return in the evening. Weekends allow for the most availability for me (with the addition of Mondays) I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!

Sandra was prompt and great at communicating with me. This was my first time having a guest in our new apartment building. We had some quirks with the code and getting in but Sandra stuck it out until she could get into the building. She went above and beyond. Sandra also sent me pictures of Lucky while she was there that she sent me. I will definitely use her again and will have the quirks with the code figured out for her the next time.
