“Taylor is a wonderful dog sitter who took excellent care of our furry babies! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an Excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our dogs! When we came home after our weekend away our dogs were relaxed and happy.”
“I highly recommend Amber for any dog sitting or dog walking needs, no matter the size or personality of your pup! I have a 110 lb lab mix and a 70 lb Great Pyrenees mix—both can be a handful at times—but Amber handled them with confidence and care. Her experience with larger breeds (including her own huskies) gave me peace of mind from the start. What truly impressed me was how she connected with my younger dog, who is very skittish and slow to warm up to new people. By the end of the week, not only had my pup warmed up to Amber—she was jumping on the bed and cuddling next to her, something she rarely even does with me or my husband. I was amazed! Amber also sent me photos of the dogs every day to keep me updated, which I really appreciated—it helped so much when I was missing them while away. Amber went above and beyond to make our dogs feel safe and loved while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again for future stays!”
“Megan was AMAZING with my fur babies!! This was our first time having someone we didn’t personally know watch them and I cannot say enough good things about her. She kept in contact with me the whole time we were gone and sent pictures everyday. She even crocheted a bandana for our pup. She put our minds at ease while we were away. I would definitely use her again.”
“Kaleigh was a perfect sitter! She loves Doughboy as much as I do and gave him a great week with her. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the week. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since we got her 8 years ago. I’ve pet sat for many friends with dogs as small as miniature poodles to as big as labs. I can currently dog walk or pet sit anytime during week days. I am available during weekends for walking or pet sitting but overnight sitting needs to be scheduled in advance. :) I can do anything a client needs me to do in their home. This includes letting the pets outside, feeding them, playing with them, cleaning, etc. I do not offer to care for pets in my own home.
“Isabella did a fantastic job taking care of our animals. We received updates, quick responses, and came home to happy animals and a clean house.”
About: I will make sure your fur-baby has the best time and make sure you get pictures through the time they are with me! I will be home at all time so they will never be lonely. I have a puppy that loves to play with other dogs AND adores cats! (Sometimes I feel as if she thinks she is a cat too😂) I have toys and treats. I usually allow the animals on our furniture because this is their home as well, But if you don’t want your baby on furniture I fully respect and can accommodate that for you! I lost my home not long ago and got out of a bad relationship. I’m currently living in a van and traveling! I have all the time in the world and being able to see your pets and spend time with them woukd be the best! 💜 They will be looked after and played with! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I love spending time with animals and learning about them! :)

I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every pet like family, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care is already part of my daily routine! I care for my sister’s dog every day, so I’m used to walks, playtime, and sticking to a consistent schedule.

I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and treat your space with respect. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Caitlin was phenomenal - we have a senior dog who is currently on several meds plus a younger, high energy husky.
