“Abbey house sat for our lab mix Finn for 6 days on pretty short notice. Finn is a very anxious dog when meeting new people and Abby was quickly able to get his trust. She was very responsive and everything went very well.”


2. Trinity W.

“Trinity was absolutely fabulous with our pets. She communicated with us daily and sent us photos of our dogs and kitty having the best time. She went above and beyond with our furry kids.”


3. Tracy M.

“Olivia was great! She did a “meet and greet” with us which was so helpful. Our pups can be a handful and she seemed to roll right into their routine so things stayed consistent for them. She kept in touch and sent some awesome pictures. We are so grateful for good help and will definitely keep her in mind for future needs for our pups. 👍🏻👍🏻”

“Chandler was amazing to work with and so communicative with me throughout the process! He sent so many wonderful photos and videos and made me feel great leaving my pets in his hands!”


9. Caidan R.

“We were over the moon impressed with Caidan. We hired him to stay in our home and watch our 5 year old German Shepherd while we were visiting family in another state. God blessed us with the best sitter we could have possibly found for our girl Luna while we were gone. Luna loves him, he is very professional, kind and respectful. He took excellent care of her and our home was even cleaner than before we left. Caidan made us feel so extremely confident in leaving our German Shepherd who has a lot of anxiety in his care and we could not of asked for anyone better! Thank you Caidan so very much!!”




10. April D.

“April is the BEST!!!!!! We had her stay for an extended period while on vacation. We received pics of our fur-daughter as well as updates. The house was in perfect shape upon our return (probably better than we had left it!). It's so reassuring knowing we found April and that our dog will receive the absolute best care the next time we are away and can't take her along. A++++++++++++++++++”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a dog and a pet tortoise. I have also pet sat for friends dogs and mini pigs. I'm ready to treat your family like my family I work full time second shift at the local sheriff department as a dispatcher. My dog is not crated during this time. I do come home on my hour lunch break and let her out and play with her. I have a tie out for potty breaks and a large house to run around. Also visits to the dog park or tractor supply for a bath and some treats.

13. Jacquelyn F.
About: I have grown up and owned a handful of large breed dogs. I have also volunteered with rescues. I have experience with rescue dogs and am comfortable around and dealing with dogs of different temperaments. Happy to take care of and love on your fur babies while you’re away! I have an extremely flexible and open work schedule. I work full time but enjoy doing this as a side hobby. My open days vary each week but will always be available 5 out of 7 days and the days that I am off, I am extremely flexible, happy to work with you on what fits your and your pets needs best! I am unable to care for other dogs at my own home due to have 3 dogs of my own. But more than happy to come to your home and love on your pets while you’re away as if they were my own! Meet and greet before any scheduled visits is a must, I want to be sure it’s a comfortable and safe fit for all parties before hand!

“Very pleased with Jessie. Compassion and daily exercise were given our dog Elton. Would recommend to future clients and will book with her again.”


17. Alexis W.

“We love Alexis! She took such good care of our 7 year old dog. We rescued him and he has always been a little anxious. He immediately felt at ease with her! She took him on lots of walks and he got lots of pets and cuddles(his favorite). She stayed in our home and kept everything nice and tidy! We hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”


18. Rachel J.
“She was the best dog sitter i’ve had. She helped clean around the house while also making sure my dog was fed, taken out, cleaned, and walked. I would hire her again and again because of how awesome she is. Plus, my dogs LOVE when she comes over.”


19. Bailey K.
About: I have three fur babies of my own! I raised all of them since pups! Two Weimaraner mixes and an Australian shepherd! I’m no stranger to big dogs that want to fit in your lap, restless puppies, and high energy all around! I always love any animal as my own while absolutely respecting the owners routine and wishes! I take special joy in helping puppies stick to a routine and am very enthusiastic about training in humane and fun ways! I fear no mess and trust I will always throughly clean any pet related incident! I’m always willing for an outdoor adventure for any dog that take up activities such as hiking! I do work full time with a flexible schedule and very willing crew! My current set schedule being Sunday - Off Monday - 9AM-4PM Tuesday - 4PM-12AM Wednesday - Off Thursday - 4PM-12AM Friday - 4PM-12AM Saturday - 2PM-7PM On all 8 hour shifts I can arrange to leave my store to give your babies a potty break and time to stretch legs if preferred! If booked at-least 2 weeks in advance, I can move days off/shifts or take extra days off to fit your needs! I will always follow any and all guidelines and routines set by owners! I will truly work my schedule to your furbabies and not my own. I’m an early bird at heart, especially having three dogs of my own, so dogs with early morning routines are never an issue! I’m used to leashes, leads, fenced yards, etc. I’ll always make sure any messes made by myself or furbabies are clean!
