“Stacey was extremely attentive to my pups, continuously provided updates and was very kind. I will no doubt use her in the future!”
“Shafika was so incredibly nice and wonderful to my pups. We have a senior dog who needs some extra attention and she was understanding and patient with her. We got lots of pictures and videos throughout the weekend. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
“Natianna was great. She met with me a few days before to ensure everything was a good fit. When I needed to change my time request she was very flexible. My doggo was happy and well loved when I returned. Will be booking her again.”
“Rebecca really helped us out on short notice and was so sweet and loving to our pup. She was very flexible and made us feel very safe to leave our anxious puppy with her.”
“Neve have an issue with her. She takes great care of our home and pets. Responds quickly and clearly. We won’t use anyone else if she is available.”
“Seanna took great care of our 4 pets (2 dogs & 2 cats). She kept all of our fur babies safe and healthy while we were away for three nights. We appreciate her!”
About: I've had dogs for nearly my entire life and enjoy being around and spending time with all dogs I've ever met. When you have to be away or just need a caring pair of hands I can be there for you. I'm looking to make this a part time effort to help out people who need caring hands. I am typically available just about anytime night or day. We have 3 cats at our home (Beef Broccoli and Brisquette) as well as a German Shepard Husky mix (Moxxi). While Beef prefers to live outside and passively engages with us the way outside cats tend to do. Our indoor buddies are happy playful and surprisingly talkative, they get their flea meds bimonthly as we rarely have flea issues.
About: I have been looking after animals since I was very young. Whether that be for neighbors or family friends. Most of my family members have dogs so I have been around and helped out with dogs quite a lot. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs. I just want to help out as much as I can! I’m currently in school and come home for breaks, when I’m home I wanted a way to be around animals more. I have a lot of time to be with your babies and take care of them! I will do whatever you would like me to as it is your home. I am only there to spend time with your fur baby and take them on walks.
“Jennifer is the Best. She is very responsible. She stayed at my house and sat with my older Great Dane and no one could have done a better job.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and even cows—basically, if it has four legs and fur, I’ve probably looked after it! From bottle-feeding puppies I bred myself to providing gentle care for my senior dog who stayed by my side from middle school through college, I’ve seen it all and loved every moment. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands-on experience and genuine understanding of animals' needs at every stage of life. I’m confident with high-energy breeds (I have two huskies—so, yes, chaos is my normal), and I’m equally comfortable providing patient, loving care to older pets who need a slower pace. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, special diets, or medication schedules—I’ve got it covered. Your pet will be in kind, capable hands, and I promise to care for them as if they were my own. Pet care has always been a big part of my daily life. With two huskies at home, I’m used to staying on top of walks, playtime, feeding routines, and all the furry chaos in between. While I don’t work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home frequently throughout the day, especially for check-ins, walks, and quality time with the pets in my care. Because animals have always been part of my life, caring for them isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether it’s morning snuggles, midday potty breaks, or evening play sessions, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and right at home. While my yard isn’t fenced just yet (it's in the works!), your pup will still get plenty of exercise and fresh air with multiple walks each day. I offer a safe, comfortable environment and can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. My flexible schedule allows me to meet your dog’s needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks, medication, or just some extra snuggles. I also have two friendly huskies of my own who love making new doggy friends, so your pet will have great company and lots of playtime (if they’re into that!). I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel right at home.
“Dee was great about communicating with us about our babies. They were happy when we returned home. We knew they were getting the love & attention we were hoping for. Dee went above & beyond!”
“Ashlyn was able to come through in a bit of a pinch when another sitter for my vacation fell through. She was very communicative and offered to do a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit. She sent picture updates of my girls and was an impeccable house guest, asking what I wanted to do with sheets and leaving my house in very clean condition. My dogs were clearly happy and relaxed when I got home! I am very pleased and will definitely be reaching out to her again if she is willing to stay with my pups in the future.”
“Gabrielle took amazing care of our fur babies! She sent daily check ins with pictures, which I truly appreciated. She was happy to do anything extra I needed around the house while we were gone, like bringing in the mail and packages. Knowing she was there, loving on our babies and treating them like her own, gave me a true sense of relief while we were out of town and saved me from any stress I would have usually felt. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Gabrielle has been. We will definitely be using her services again and recommending her to all my friends.”
“Sammy is amazing! This was my first time user “Rover” and I was kinda momming out over separating with my 6mo old golden retriever baby. Sammy went above & beyond to make sure my pup was stimulated & snuggled while also texting me updates the whole time while I was on my trip! Extra brownie points for Leaving a nice bottle of wine to come home & picking up puppy poo in the yard!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience providing care for cats and dogs belonging to neighbors, friends, and family, along with prior professional experience working at an animal hospital.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals as early as 10 years old. Growing up we always had different types of animals including but not limited to: dogs, cats, and horses. My friends, family and neighbors have always trusted me to feed, play, bathe and care for their furry friends. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to tend to your fur babies! I am available anytime Thursday-Sunday. I also am available Monday-Wednesday anytime after 5pm. I have a fenced yard and a French bulldog that absolutely loves new friends! I can crate your pet if needed, go on walks and to the park. Your fur babies will feel at home and loved in my care!
“Katie was very good on communication and every day sent multiple pics of my R. This was the first time we had someone stay over and I really think my R was more at peace. I allowed her to bring her well behaved and quiet little dog and they got along well and I think it helped my R take his mind off of mom and dad being gone. Kudos to Katie and her sweet dog. I would use her services again for sure!”
“Hana is very kind and gentle and took great care of my two dogs. She sent multiple updates while I was traveling and that set my mind at ease. The house was pristine upon my return. Great job, Hana!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I can remember. I have always had animals growing up from cows, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, cats, and dogs. I grew a huge attachment to all of my animals and have continued to love them throughout the years. I currently have 2 dogs and a horse who boards at a different location due to me not having the proper land currently. My dogs are my LIFE! I make in home healthy treats for them, take them on daily walks, park trips, and go road tripping with them as I can. I do not have any children so I treat my dogs like my children. My mom has always told my dogs “you hit the jackpot” when we get a new one. I have one rescue pitbull and one aussiedoodle that we had as a puppy. They are intelligent, friendly with other animals, and welcoming of any dogs into their home:) We are a happy home and cannot wait to meet your happy pups! I work a full time flexible schedule so this makes it where I can attend to any schedule if I am made aware a week in advance! I take my pups on daily walks in the morning and evening. During the evening time is where I work on training and where they get spoiled with many treats!:) My home has a fenced in backyard that is a small backyard with grass and space to run. I will tend to your animals, by feeding them on their regimented schedule, taking on daily long walks, any medication needs, and any other needs your dog may have! I provide great supervision with our pups as we keep all access to any trash cans out of reach due to our puppy still curious of all things:) You can guarantee your pup will be safe, happy, and healthy in our home!
