“I had a last-minute adjustment to my vacation schedule and needed a sitter and found Shayna. She was super flexible and accommodating, and came to meet my dogs and learn their routine the same day! Shayna provided excellent care for my dogs who are anxious and can sometimes be difficult to care for. I would absolutely use her again for overnight services or walking anytime that we are traveling and she is available! Thank you for taking such good care of my girls💙🐶”

“Theo and Julian were wonderful, we were able to enjoy our vacation with out a worry. They left the house nice and clean. We look forward to using their services again”

“Jessica T. is fantastic. Our dog Buttercup loves her and is always excited to see her. We have used Jessica a couple times while we were away on vacation. She stayed in our house with our dog and couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is great with getting back to me and keeping us updated on Buttercup with photos. I would highly recommend Jessica!”

“Indigo stayed for a few nights to watch my dog and cat giving them lots of cuddles walks and keeping me apprised of how everyone was doing with frequent updates and photos. Indigo left the house spotless and would be welcome back anytime.”

“Sheri did a great job with our dog. Even though it was just for a few hours, our dog Maggie seemed to have a great time with her. She was aware to make sure she is sticking to Maggie’s routine and try to make sure she was as entertained as possible. I would definitely recommend Sheri as your next dog sitter!”


“Mikayla stayed with our active Jack Russell for 2 weeks while we were away. I never worried about our pup, knowing that she was being taken care of and played with. Mikayla shared updates and pictures, and answered promptly when I checked in with her. I recommend her without hesitation, we have never been so at ease while away.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have over 5 years of experience caring for animals through friends, family, and clients, and I previously volunteered with a dog rescue organization. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I have experience with puppies through senior dogs, including administering oral medications and supporting basic training and reinforcement. I also have hands-on experience working with leash manners, redirection, basic commands, and reading canine body language. I currently work full time in pet care and maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate client needs whenever possible. I intentionally organize my availability to provide reliable, consistent care and clear communication for each client and pet. I’m happy to coordinate timing in advance and do my best to accommodate different scheduling needs whenever possible. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s routine and care needs. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines to ensure consistency and comfort while you’re away. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, proactive about maintaining a safe environment, and committed to keeping pets physically secure and emotionally at ease. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care so you can feel completely confident leaving your pet in my hands.
“Nathan was wonderful - providing loving care for my two dogs. He was on time, offered support when my dog sprained her ankle, and attentive to their needs. Thank you Nathan!”

“Jorden is always so responsive! When my return flight was delayed, Jorden went back and fed my guys and walked my dog one more time... so grateful to have such a caring, trustworthy person to watch them!”

“I can’t say enough good things about April. From the very beginning, they she was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. She took the time to understand our pets’ routines and personalities, which made a huge difference. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes that made us feel connected even while we were away. When we returned home, everything was spotless and our pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can fully trust. Highly, highly recommend!”


About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals through both personal ownership and pet-sitting for friends and family. My experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, and chinchillas. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning habitats/litter, playtime, walks, and giving pets patient, attentive care. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, and I work to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I work a consistent weekday schedule from 7–5, which allows me to plan pet care reliably into my routine. I am able to drop-in during my work day during house sits to address any mid-day needs, in addition to being available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, cleaned up after, and given plenty of attention and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always keep owners updated while they’re away.
“Keirstein did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog and our home. She communicated well and sent lovely photos to reassure us that Dixie was being well cared for. We look forward to booking her for our future travels.”

“Ashley was AWESOME! We left town for a few days and felt so comfortable. The dogs were happy (and so was the baby bearded dragon). Sheet pictures and kept in contact. We have a dog that runs and were definitely worried, but Ashley had zero issues. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Callie watched our hyper, very large 52lb 6 month old puppy for a night along with our cat, and did an amazing job! Our puppy is is not at an easy to watch stage, being young and energetic and exciteable, while also being huge and powerful and only half trained. Yet Callie seemed completely unflumoxed and when we came home our house was clean and tidy and the puppy was happy. Highly recommend!”

About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received while I was away over Christmas! Nevaeh went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and cat were well taken care of. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home, which is always a huge relief. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much!”

Lauren is great. I have three big dogs that can be a little overwhelming but from start to finish Lauren handled them well and I felt very comfortable leaving them under her supervision. Lauren is tuned in and asks all the right questions, cares about the dogs and is a very capable, responsible and common sense person. I would definitely hire her again.
