“Eden was amazing. They had great communication with me throughout the whole time they were taking care of my baby. Eden always kept me informed, sent a lot of pictures, and I felt reassured that Roberto was being taken care of very well! My only concern is that Roberto likes Eden more than me 😂”


“Shelby was a delightful to work with and she took very good care our two cats Precious and Shadow. Shelby was very caring with Precious and Shadow and we would definitely use her service in the future. We strongly recommend Shelby.”


About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and have helped with whelping, shots, to finding them new homes. I have trained dogs also! I will always treat them as my own and they will be well socialized. I am currently working full time at a family owned business. I am free from Friday-Sunday every weekend. I can take smaller dog with me to work (30#) or less. I have 30 wooded acres in the country. I have a large yard, not fenced but have a wireless collar system if I need to use it. I have a 4 year old chocolate lab neutered male, he is very playful and loves other dogs. I have 3 kids ages 10,7,2. Who I have taught to respect all animals and know the responsibility of taken care of them. I am willing to meet to pick up and drop off also.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, experiencing from before they could walk until they lost the ability to. My favorite dogs are the big dogs (as long as they are aware I am small) but that doesn't mean I don't know how to wrangle a terrier. If a house has a dog, the people will not see me. I'm the type of friend who you leave alone with a dog and come back to me showing you a new trick. I've dog sat for multiple families and always look forward to seeing them again. I work five hours five days a week. Other than that I have little to no responsibilities until the school year starts and I'm on a class schedule. The first thing I do at any home is identify the water bowl. If it's dirty I'll clean it and if it's empty I'll fill it. Any other bridge I can cross when I come to it. I don't expect to be fed if I'm house sitting, but I am always on a strict schedule with feeding the pets. I've had pet dogs with stomach issues and a long list of allergies, so I'm used to special diets. When it comes to walking, I'm willing to go as long as the dog needs as long as I don't have to run. Everyone has different rules for where there pets are allowed to go, so let me know what places in the house are off limits!

About: I adore dogs and exercise. I will take dogs out on long and enjoyable walks and give them another reason to love life!! I’ll give so much attention and exercise care to your dogs! I am working a full time job from home. I am free to walk dogs in the evenings after work, weekends, and maybe walks on my lunch breaks during the middle of the day. I have a small little 2 year old dog at home that has taught me the love and attention necessary to raise a happy dog and how to show them lots of love. I have had many dogs as I grew up as well so I know how to take care of a dog that I didn’t have a direct hand in training. I love all dogs and want them to non stop tail wag their way through life.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was 16 and have loved every second of it. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and even ducks, chickens, and goats!

Megan S.
“Your pup is in the most loving and nurturing hands with Megan, she has cared for our 4-year-old Siberian Husky, Skip on multiple occasions by providing long walks and overnight care for him when we travel. Skip adores Megan and lights up with excitement every time she arrives. With his husky nature, Skip has a tendency to enjoy long and eventful walks, however, Megan continues to keep Skip safe, even through all of his desires to run loose. I entrust Megan with our most beloved four-legged family member, and trust that she will always love our pup as her own.”
