“I booked Lori on short notice and so glad I did. She was super attentive to my dog and cat, communicated well with me throughout my travel, and paid careful attention to making them comfortable with her. Already have her booked for my next trip!”


“Sarah proved immediately she was going to be reliable and an excellent communicator. Our pup hit it off immediately with her and upon returning home, we could tell she had been left in great hands. We appreciate Sarah and will absolutely book with her again!”


“Kaitlyn watched my dog for a weekend. She was very attentive and quick to communicate. I have a dog with high energy and she was very understanding and quick to problem solve. I felt comfortable and trusting that she was taking care of my dog. She is very good about texting and updating with pictures. I would 100% rebook with her!!”


“Konnie did an absolutely amazing job watching our dog and two cats while we were out of town!!! I got updates and photos while she was watching them and even put up with all my little requests. I think my house may have been more put together after she left than it was when she got there. We will 100% be using her again when we have to leave town. I cannot recommend her highly enough. THANK YOU KONNIE ?”


“Kayla was great with my older dog. She made Sadie feel comfortable immediately and gained her trust to administer her needed eye medications. I would definitely book her again in the future!”


“Holly was great with our Beagle. She communicated and sent pictures. She asked questions which I appreciated. She stayed at our home and took great care of everything. Harley seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. I would highly recommend Holly.”

About: I've been around various breeds of dogs for as long as I can remember. During my time volunteering at Paws and Prayers Animal Rescue, I've handled as little as the Chihuahua to as large as the Great Dane! I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is typically pretty open most of the time. I am always open to meet your pups! Big and small! I have handled pups both big and small! Whatever challenge your dog throws at me, I can take it! I am able to crate dogs when necessary.

“Such a wonderful experience, he helped us out last minute & dog/house sat for us. He sent so many pics of the dogs & they seemed so happy with him & he left the house looking great! Highly recommend him! Thankyou!! 🙂”


“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”


“I am so happy to have found Julia! She clicked immediately with my dog. She followed all of my instructions, but better than that, she treated my dog with loving care. She even washed up his dinner dishes! My cats were well taken care of as well. Julia will always be my go-to sitter.”


About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

“Jessi did an amazing job caring for our animals for almost 2 weeks! She initiated a meet and greet so she could meet our animals and go over instructions verbally (she even took notes ?). I can tell she took wonderful care of our furbabies as the were happy when we returned home and not mad at us, as we have experienced in the past. She accommodated us when we had vehicle trouble and needed to add more visits beyond our original booking end date. She did unexpected tidying up around our house which we viewed as a pleasant surprise!! I will seek Jessi out when I need to book care in the future ?. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets!!”


About: Hi! My name is Faith, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all types and temperaments. I currently have a high-energy husky of my own, so I fully understand the importance of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and structure—especially for active breeds. I also have experience working with dogs who have resource guarding tendencies and know how to approach them with patience and safety in mind. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s German Shepherd and cats. I’ve also provided ongoing care for elderly pets and cats with a wide range of personalities and needs. I frequently pet sit for friends and family in addition to working full-time as a school psychologist, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, consistency, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs a calm, gentle presence or a playmate who can keep up with their energy, I’m here to meet their unique needs. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and quirks so I can provide individualized care that gives you peace of mind. I currently work as a School Psychologist and I am away from home between the hours of 6:15 AM and 3:45PM on week days (Monday through Friday). I am open to pet sitting outside of those hours, and I have open weekend availability. Please schedule at least one week in advance for pet sitting. I will consider last minute booking requests, but my availability may be more limited. I currently do not offer boarding services because my personal dog battles with resource guarding behaviors and does not do well with other dogs. I am happy to pet sit for you in your home!

“Julie was amazing!! She took great care of my cats and even made a special trip back to my house when needed. She took all stress away while I was on vacation and I could really enjoy my time away! My cats loved her and I will book with her again in the future if she’s available!!”


“Isabella is great with our dog. She is well taken care of and loved while we are away. Isabella sends updates daily and will let us know if there are any issues with the house or our pup. Know that your dog will be in good hands in Isabellas care!”


“Nathan did a great job with our labs! He was very responsive, easy to work with, flexible and even handled a misrouted package delivery for us. We were delighted to have his help & really appreciate his availability and fast response.”


“Absolutely amazing. To say Jess went above and beyond would be an understatement. My oldest dog Ozzy is an anxious mess when I leave, for the first time ever, she was content for the entire duration of our trip (which was over a week). I got multiple updates during our time away, Jess takes beautiful photos that are honestly going to be treasured! All of my animals were happy and healthy when I returned, it was like we had never left. And my house was even cleaner upon my return! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jess to anyone and everyone. Incredibly sweet, thoughtful and caring. Thank you again, Jess!”
