“Hillary was fantastic! Whaley stayed with her for 10 days and we received continuous communication and pictures. He was even hesitant to leave her house when we went to pick him up because he was so happy there.”
“Svitlana was great with our Border Terrier, Kimi. She sent updates and photos daily. She walked Kimi in the neighborhood and played ball with her in the yard. Kimi came home happy, so we will hire Svitlana again!”
“Maui’s stay with Hannah was awesome. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I could tell that Hannah was a total animal lover and that Maui was going to be in great hand My dog has anxiety issues and Hannah was great at administering his meds. Hannah sent many pictures to show me how happy Maui was during his stay. I will definitely check with Hannah again when going away and need an amazing dog sitter.”
“My dogs LOVE Deb and Ralph. On the way in the driveway, they knew where they were (after only one 3-night stay a month and a half before) and were so excited they couldn’t wait. Deb sent pictures and videos of them rolling and playing on the floor with Ralph, and even stitched a hole in the beddie! These are DOG PEOPLE for sure!”

When I dropped off my dog for the weekend, she was so excited to see Beth that she ran into her house and made herself right at home again. I am positive they has a great weekend and I would highly recommend Beth to watch your dogs.”

“Joanna took good care of my cat sunny for almost weeks. Gave him his seizure medication (a strict 3x a day every 8 hour) which was not easy to do. She is an animal lover herself and will definitely recommend her.”
“Danielle was amazing with our cat, Kinako! This was her first time being away from home, but it was very obvious from the pictures and updates that she was in great hands. It was also her first time being around so many other pets, but they were very sweet with her and she seemed surprisingly at ease :) We're excited to book with Danielle again whenever we're out of town!”
“Excellent care. It was a sudden drop off, my dog was very happy. He was very excited with whole family. I got pictures almost every 1-2 hours. I felt so comfortable. Thank you”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, from raising litters of puppies to nursing sick kittens back to health. I’ve trained working ranch dogs, cared for senior pets, and managed special diets. I work from home, so your pet gets my full attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, meals, or cuddles, their needs come first, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I provide loving, attentive pet care in my home or yours, following routines, ensuring proper nutrition, exercise, and comfort. Whether it's walks, playtime, or special needs, I treat them like family.
“Brandy is amazing! Valley always enjoys herself when she’s over there. Brandy updates constantly and sends photos to you with the updates. She was also very helpful with letting me pick my dog up later than I expected to be in town!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for my whole life as well as rabbits, cats, fish, and hamsters.

I am also able to house calmer large dogs however I know i unfortunately cannot provide adequate exercise for high energy dogs as I am a full time student and MRD so I will not be at the house sometimes for a few hours at a time. I am happily able to care for any breed of dog or cat as well as any care level however with animals on specially timed diets or routines may not work in my schedule so please message me to check in! Please feel free to message me at any time as often as needed, I will always have my notifications on and will at the latest respond within a day and will do my very best to be able to accommodate most, if not all animals <3 Currently I am a part time summer student as well as working part time however I have most weekday afternoons off as well as my weekends being entirely free If in my own home your pet will get their own room as well as having no interaction with the other pets (at your discretion) as well as only using food and items provided by the owner.

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior across all ages and species. With hands-on experience caring for everything from playful puppies to gentle senior pets — as well as exotic companions like parrots — I adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to keep pets on their regular routine and give them consistent attention. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty training, administering medication, and supporting senior dogs or animals with special needs. Every pet in my care is treated like family — safe, understood, and genuinely loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care — whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet companionship. My own pets have taught me the importance of consistency and attention, so I’m always mindful of keeping each pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home here. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I do have an underground fence system with extra collars for dogs who are trained to use it. Otherwise, all outside time is fully supervised, whether on a leash or in the yard. Inside, my home is pet-friendly, calm, and set up to give animals their own space if they need it. I keep things clean, low-stress, and consistent with whatever routine they’re used to. I’m always nearby since I work from home, so your pet gets lots of attention and care throughout the day.
