“We couldn’t ask for better dog and house sitters than Jim and Julie. We were going to be gone for 3 weeks and the thought of leaving them in a kennel somewhere was a huge concern. Jim stayed at our house so the dogs were still at their own home and we received pictures every day of the fun stuff they were doing. When we got home it was very clear that the pups and house had been well taken care of and the girls were both even wearing welcome home bandannas. How fun! If you can fit in on the Pettyjohn’s calendar, consider yourself lucky. Thanks again!”
About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.
“It was great having Taylor in our home to hang with our pup. It was a quick overnight filled with cuddles. Our house was left just as we left it when we came home. We will request overnights with her again. Thanks Taylor!”
“Kayla was professional, prompt, and courteous. She stayed in our home four nights taking care of our 10 week old Lab puppy. Not an easy assignment. Kayla followed his busy schedule and took amazing care of him. We would be thrilled to use her again!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.
“Shania was great! She sent me pictures everyday and told me how Leia was doing. She seemed to have a great time with Shania and her daughter. If I need a sitter again, she is my choice! Thanks so much”
