“Kayla did a great job watching our pups while we were out of town. She provided updated photos daily, was communicative, and took care of our place while we were away. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Sue was great with our two fur babies. I was so nervous to leave them for the first time since we moved here. Sue sent pictures everyday of my babies. She stayed overnight which was great since my dogs are older. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Gretta was wonderful and did a great job checking in on my babies while I was out of town! She communicated very well, was always timely, and kept me updated as needed. I would definitely recommend her to care for your animals!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!
“Alesia was an excellent sitter. She communicated promptly, sent pics and took exceptional care of our two senior dogs. House was clean and watered plants during her stay. We highly recommend her for your dog and house sitting needs!”
“Jacie’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and regular communication (with pictures!) allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our canine and feathered family were in attentive hands! Evident by how much they loved her and followed her around! In addition, she was a considerate and helpful house guest and anticipated tasks I had not thought to mention. Jacie is an absolute Gem!”
About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!
About: I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life. Most recently I have raised an Australian shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog and golden retriever. I have dog-sat since I was a teenager for friends and family. I am currently in medical school and although I cannot currently have a dog of my own here, I go home frequently to love on my parents dogs and would love to love on yours! I am free most days with the exception of a few hours when I am unable to be there due to class or clinic responsibilities. I am currently unable to take dogs in my home due to my currently lease but I have years of experience with dogs and am excited to care for yours!
About: Personally I have 2 of my own dogs, I have experience with pregnancy and birth! Multiple breed care small and large! High energy, low energy, whatever needs to be done! I also have experience with medication distributions. I’m currently working part-time and have free time in my day-to-day schedule and I love animals and to help others! I am also available for overnights! In my clients home, I keep the house neat and tidy and pick up any messes made by your fur baby! I keep a watchful eye on them and make sure they are getting what they need plus a few treats!
“Lindsey was so accommodating, communicative, and friendly. She was great to work with and made me feel so comfortable leaving my two pups. She kept me updated all weekend and eased every fear I had. She sent regular pics and asked questions when needed.”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs; I don’t have a preference between the two. I have two cats of my own from the same litter. Im willing to stay overnight with your fur babies or make multiple visits in a day for care and play with them. I work a regular 9-5 working in ABA therapy, so I can make morning and evening visits for up to an hour at a time. I like to give my cats two meals a day with a mixture of wet food and dry food. They like lots of cuddles, which is perfect cause so do I. I mostly pet sit for my parents when they go out of town, and I like to take their lab for walks and pets.
“Alexander was great! He watched our pittie mix and husky mix and they were happy as can be when we got home. Our apartment was just as we left it and the room he stayed in was tidy. He was extremely responsive when I reached out to check in and when I requested to book. Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly did an excellent job of house sitting our 3 furbabies. She is very pet friendly and loves them as if they were her own. Kimberly maintained excellent, prompt and professional daily communications with us. Kimberly followed all the instructions given to her at a high level of detail and asked questions if needed. Kimberly took excellent care and was very attentive to our furbabies needs during severe thunderstorms. Kimberly is a very professional, caring, respectful, loving person. We will definitely have Kimberly house sit our furbabies again. We highly recommend Kimberly for caring and sitting for your pets.”
“Ashley is a very sweet gal who appears to love animals. I was disappointed that over our four day absence I only received one photo, and no additional texts/emails. I haven't heard from her about how it went with the dogs either. She was pretty awesome in the house, no messes, not even extra garbage! Bed made and bathroom is really great. The dogs were all super excited when we arrived home, they seemed happy and I don't know if it was just because they missed us so much or if they lacked human interaction for 4 days. Again, I only have one picture for one morning. I was really hopeful for this service, but honestly, I could have had a neighbor attend to my dogs while we were gone, for less $$ and a lot more attention (i suspect) I'm on the fence, because of course my doggies are ok, and super happy that I'm home, but I was hoping for them to have a little more attention during our absence, by evidence of photos. Again, our house was perfect when we came home (there is a pee spot in our living room, on the hardwood, hard to see) So it's hard for me to rate this dog sitter. I gave her a four, but honestly, if I hired her again I would demand multiple photos per day and interaction with me via text, as to how the encounter is going. Again, this gal was super sweet, left my house completely in order, my dogs are happy and healthy. I probably did not communicate to her that I needed that kind of interaction, but I thought (assumed) that it was part of the transaction.”
“Samantha is wonderful! Very easy to communicate with. She showed up on time which is something I truly appreciate. She took great care of my kitty cat and sent me updates on how he was doing while I was gone. Definitely will rebook with her next time.”
“She is such a natural with the dogs. My one dog has behavior issues and she made it a breeze. I’m taking notes! I knew my dogs were well loved on when I was away. Thankful to have her!!”
