“After a year and a half of disasters when our pet sitter retired, we finally had a vacation where the dogs were spoiled and taken care of. The stress relief of knowing meds were given, play time was had, and snuggles were given, I only hope Sylvia will take on our crew of 4 legged family members again. She will never know the relief she gave us, as they are our family.”
“Kimberly was absolutely incredible. She was so communicative and my dogs seemed so happy with her! She even left my house in better shape than I did! My big dog had an upset stomach and she reached out immediately to make sure she did the right thing for him. I will 100% use Kimberly for all my dog sitting needs!”
About: With about 18 years of hands on pet care experience, what truly sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. Whether it’s a shy rescue who needs gentle encouragement or a senior cat who needs extra comfort and medication, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I have loved and cared for animals since the day I was born. I have 5 dogs, a mini horse, and two rabbits. My goal is always to provide a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and their people. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time during the week to take care of your babies when needed. My schedule is very flexible right now. I prefer not to work on the weekends, but if it is needed, I will make it work. In your home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I take time to learn their habits—feeding schedules, favorite hiding spots, play routines, and any medical needs—so I can provide care that feels familiar and comforting. I make sure litter boxes are clean, water is always fresh, and your pet gets plenty of attention and affection at their own pace. For shy or senior pets, I move slowly and calmly, always respecting their space and personality.
“Zia was very professional and our 2 pups were immediately at ease around her which is always a great sign. She gave consistent updates with cute pics, took great care of our pups including giving allergy meds, and left our house spotless. We would definitely recommend and will use her again when we travel!”
“Jan took great care of our kitty baby! She stayed at our house, sent photo updates, put clean sheets on our bed so we literally got home and the house was cleaner than we left it. Her quiet energy is just what we needed. Can’t say enough good things about our experience with Jan!”
“Lisa was absolutely amazing. My babies took to her right away, and I'm sure they will miss her until the next time. She kept me updated and left my home as she found it. Will definitely be using her whenever I travel!”
“Kate is absolutely wonderful! She stayed with Milo and Pickle for 10 nights, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Throughout the stay, she was incredibly communicative—sending regular updates, sweet photos, and thoughtful notes that gave me complete peace of mind. Milo and Pickle looked happy and relaxed, which speaks volumes about the care and comfort Kate provided. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals and treats them like her own. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking reliable, compassionate overnight care.”

I have experience with cats dogs horses And most rodents and personally own a snake. Limited experience with birds and reptiles.

Kristin B.
“I have had the privilege of knowing Kristin for 30 plus years now and she has now become a true sister to me. She is an excellent house sitter who respected the property and kept everything in order including my little "Ozzy". More importantly she developed a wonderful relationship with my dog. She has such a calm manner and responded to his excitement and playfulness with a lovely sense of humor. She took him for walks, played with him and kept him very happy. I appreciated the fact that she maintained his same routine and when I returned home he was in terrific shape and extremely comfortable being with Kristin. Her genuine love of animals shines through in all that she does knowing that my baby boy "Ozzy" was in the safest of hands was priceless. Also updated me with daily reports, texted pictures of him along with videos and kept my mind one thousand percent at ease while on vacation. I would highly recommend Kristin for your needs she is trustworthy, reliable and dependable and is a lovely human being that truly cares. Giving her an opportunity will be one of the best decisions made and an amazing choice for your pet's care. I highly recommend her in being both a house sitter and pet minder.”

They took the time to learn about our pet’s needs and routines, and it was clear that our dog was in great hands. Throughout our trip, they sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and showed just how much care and attention they were providing. It felt like our dog was on vacation too—going on walks, getting lots of playtime, and receiving plenty of affection. When we returned, our dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience, and we are so grateful to Grayson and Greg for treating our pup like family. We will definitely be booking with them again! Highly recommended!”
