“Judy took such good care of our babies while we were out of town. We have 2 dogs, a cat and a bearded dragon. She is so compassionate and took the extra time with my gentle giant who is afraid of everything. We were at ease knowing our pets were in caring hands. We will gladly have Judy look after our babies again!”


“She is AMAZING! This was our first time leaving our cats alone and the amount of care Jennifer put in was incredible. She helped them feel safe, loved, and followed all instructions to a T. Definitely a 5 star review from my family.”


“Vanessa is amazing as always. Our fur babies love her and she is so sweet to them. She spoils them with chin rubs and playing. Thank you again!”


“Beth is super reliable and takes good care of our dog each every time. We appreciate her for being flexible and having excellent communication”



“Catherine did a great job with a drop in visit. She kept me apprised of how her visit went and how my dogs were. I would highly recommend Catherine for your pet sitting needs.”


“Absolutely the best Pet Sitter ever. I did not worry one second about my fur babies. She communicated everyday even though they didn’t always cooperate 🤦♀️. Definitely glad we found her and will be calling her anytime we travel. So awesome to be able to leave my babies with someone I know will take such exceptional care of them. Thank you again!”


“Antoinette provided drop in visit for our elderly (13 yrs) dog and was really great! She was a great communicator (kept us up to date and shared pics) and we got back to a happy and content dog. We hope we can have her sit for us again in the future!”


“Nicole took great care of my shy cats while I was away for over a week. Even though they hid most of the time she was great at making sure their eating and litter box habits were normal and that their space was clean and maintained. I had to book her last minute but she was able to quickly catch on to their care instructions and asked questions when needed. She provided daily detailed updates and photos. Would highly recommend Nicole!”


“Minara is so great!! She looked after my cats while I visited family for Christmas. Wonderful communicator and very easygoing. Everything went very smoothly and I can tell my cats liked her. :) Everything was left very clean and she did every single little thing i asked!! Highly recommend!”

About: I have a Shih Tzu, Ovi, who is very friendly. He loves playing with dogs all sizes, and gets along with most animals. I also have a son who loves dogs just as much! I take Ovi on daily walks around Gunners Lake, and we love to go hiking on the weekends. We also love to sit at home on the couch 😆 I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays most weeks. I walk my dog daily and left him out often when I WFH. We try to get out for longer adventures if we can on the weekends. I will follow all care instructions you have, and make sure you dog gets extra loving while Mommy or Daddy is away! I can crate tour dog if needed, but I’m happy to let them be free 🥰

“We are so grateful for Sondra’s care of our pup! She came over for a drop in visit on a day that we were going to be gone for a long day trip and took care of everything as discussed. I really appreciated the photos and updates she sent after the visit! She communicated everything very clearly before and after the visit and made the whole process so easy. Thank you Sondra! Willow can’t wait to see you again soon :)”


“Savannah dropped in on my two elderly cats twice daily for ten days. She administered oral meds each visit and made sure to clean litter, restock food and water and keep me updated everyday. She was very quick to respond to any questions and agreed to meet virtually prior to the visits. I recommend Savannah for ensuring your furry friends safety and happiness!”


About: I have had dogs, horses, and various pets my entire life. Beginning in middle school, I have not had a time where I haven't had the responsibility of caring for a dog.

I make my own schedule and can have flexibility on a day by day basis. This allows me to fit your pets needs into our weekly routine with ease. I will follow whatever guidelines you put in place for your pet and your home. I recognize that you know your animal best and will strictly adhere to your wishes. Pets are part of our family and should be treated as such.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, playing with other people’s dogs, and I have taken care of dogs for others! During summer, I am home and have free time all the time! Nothing is concrete in my schedule during summer, so I can accommodate other schedules. I live in nice neighborhood with several parks or areas to explore. I do not have any pets of my own, so my attention will be fully on yours!

About: My name is Christian and I love animals! When it comes to dogs I just can not help myself to showing them love right off the start. I’ve had dogs and other animals since I was little and fell in love with them immediately! I currently have my own dog that I have been caring for, for 12 years now named Bella! Caring and love is a must have when it comes to pets and I make sure my dog feels that 24/7 and that is what I wish all pets could have in their lives. Each pet is so unique and special just like us humans, so why not show them the love and care that they deserve! As of now, my schedule depends on me! I’m very flexible and for years I have had no troubles with my own pet because of it. In clients homes based on the thorough instructions im left I will care for your pet as if it were you in your own home! Comfortability, care, trust and love are key!

Holly W.
“Holly is always there when we need her! Our dogs are both rescues and require special attention. I never have to worry when Holly is caring for our girls. Quick walks when I'm stuck at work or long-term care (feeding, walks, allergy pills, fresh water every visit, etc.) - it's such great piece of mind to have a professional who is also a dog lover! I really appreciate all of the updates she provides, especially when we are out of town.”
