“Eva is the sweetest and absolute best! Our dog is our child and we are extremely careful about who watches him and I would use her again hands down. I feel much more at ease knowing we have someone we can trust to watch him. We had a last minute trip and responded within 15 minutes and came the next day. You will not be disappointed she’s the best and very trustworthy! Thank you Eva ❤️ Oliver can’t wait for your next visit!!”


“Nicole was great with my pup, Elsa, when I needed a sitter on short notice. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Very pleasant very informative for both”


“Cameron watched our babies and our house for a week. We came home to happy, healthy babies and the house in good order. She kept us posted on things and send updates.”


About: I have been employed at an animal hospitals for 25 years and have pet sat for cats, dogs, rabbits, horses and birds over the years. I am trustworthy and reliable I am currently working full-time at an animal hospital 9 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I can come in the morning midday at lunchtime or after work if you’re in the area, I can also stay overnight at your home if you prefer. I do have a home with 6 acres however I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to care for pets in your home. They are often less stress when they are at home in their own environment and seem much happier at their own home.

“Lamaris always does a wonderful job with the pups. They are so well cared for and happy when I return from vacation! He’s also very good at keeping the house clean and organized, and goes above and beyond by taking out the trash and reaching out with questions when needed.”


About: I have been trained as a vet technician and animal care by the military. I have taken care of animals since childhood, and I believe all animals are part of the family I currently working on my own homestead, and I maintain our family animals and needs on a daily basis. Some may say that they are part of my daily chores, but I do not consider my babies as choirs. I have a fenced in yard. The yard is segmented for separation and safety. I have loving dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. They are able to be in the same areas together with no issues, but my farm is segmented for privacy amongst the animals as well. I feel everyone has their way of loving their babies, and the baby deserves consistency in their normal routines. I find this is most important when missing their human.

“They took amazing care of all my babies and kept up with everything”


“Kathleen was wonderful to my furbaby. I definitely will be calling on her again.”


“Leah was absolutely amazing and she was so loving to our babies. We can’t thank her enough for taking the time to sit our dogs. I would highly recommend her.”


“Nicole did a great job house sitting and watching my puppies and older dog. She came over the day before for a meet and greet to make everyone feel comfortable and meet all the dogs. She was flexible with my last minute booking and she was even flexible with me when I was running a little behind on my return home! I felt very comfortable leaving the "crew" with Nicole.”


“Shauna spent a week house sitting for our two large, special needs dogs and did an AMAZING job with them!! They each take multiple medications every 12 hours and can be reactive with other dogs, so it was such a relief to finally find a trustworthy dog sitter who wasn’t phased by their all their quirks! We will definitely choose Shauna again the next time we leave the town—the dogs can’t wait!”
