“Sarah is the best. She played with my dogs and took very good care of my animals. We even had a chicken pass away and she took care of it before my kids came home to see. Sarah is fantastic!”

“Sara was amazing. She was so flexible and handled all the booking details if i had to make a change at the last minute. I really appreciated her help with getting my puppy situated when we first brought her home.”
About: I had the pleasure of caring for and loving my two shelter (or, found outside in the cold) dogs for about 14 years. From puppyhood to senior years. I understand all stages and will meet their needs as required. I am a mom of four very active boys. I work mornings, Monday through Thursday, so I am free in the early afternoon. I am able to make my own schedule around sports, school, doctor's appointments, etc. My evenings are more busy than my afternoons. I will gladly make time during my day for some four-legged, furry friends. I will gladly come to your home to feed, let out, and/or walk your dog when you cannot. We can schedule an initial meeting to familiarize the dog and myself, and go from there.
“Sophia is great with my two young hound mix dogs and old cat. She is always on time, sends pictures and communicates well and gives my pets lots of attention! They get very excited to see her each week!”
“Bekka was amazing! She's very detail-oriented and adapted to the quirks of my two cats' quickly. She was a lifesaver over a pretty long stretch over the holidays and took fantastic care of them. I came home to two happy cats. (She's also awesome at taking cat pictures and the updates were perfect.) Thank you so much Bekka! :)”

“Our dogs love Holly, and we do too! She’s a great communicator, and super reliable. We have two high energy herding dogs, and she keeps up with them just fine! So glad we found her 😊”
“Thomas did a great job with my 2 cats. They are very shy creatures, and don’t come out of hiding for most of the sitters that I have tried, but they were very friendly for him and got lots of snuggles. It is good to know that I have a reliable cat sitting option who my cats really like.”
“We met with Rachael the evening before her first time sitting with our dogs. She was very nice and seemed excited to doggie sit. I was happy to know that they were not stuck inside all day and that they had a chance to relieve themselves outside.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura! She was an exceptional caregiver for our kitty, who can be tempermental and demanding. Laura sent me daily picture and video updates and always made sure I knew what was going on at home, which gave me so much peace of mind. Laura even moved our trash cans for us, brought in the mail daily, and helped prepare our house for a potential hurricane. Laura is caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful, and any family would be lucky to have her care for their animals. I know we will be booking her again!! Thank you, Laura!”
About: I used to work at a doggy daycare, and have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am comfortable giving medications, bathing, and in cooperative dogs even nail trims. I work part time in the mornings, and I have a few recreational evening activities. I am almost always available by 2pm, and can even stop by in between jobs at work. I am comfortable with using crates when needed, and I am willing to use my car to bring your pup to parks for walks. I also can provide mental stimulation with different kinds of play.
“Jeremy was an amazing sitter for our cats. He came first to make sure he got acquainted and knew where everything was. He went above and beyond to take care of our cat when she got sick while we were away and was incredibly responsive and attentive. He also took our trash out to the curb and back each week! Will definitely rebook with Jeremy.”
