“Amazing pet sitter! My cat Elsa is always scared of new people and always hides, but with Christine she was comfortable enough to come out of hiding ♡ Christine is very kind and considerate, and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs their fur baby taken care of. I'm a very happy customer :)”
“Crystal C. is extremely dependable and our Igor and Ilya love when she is able to care for them when we are away! She always plays with the boys during her visits and keeps us informed of how they’re doing. We’ve booked Crystal C. at least 3 times and will continue to do so in the future.”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals! I had plenty as a kid and was always helping family members with them. I take pride in training puppies and young dogs, even though I’m not a professional trainer, I know a few tricks! Pet care is what I do full time, I’m always available and I feel like they can use all the attention and loves when their parents aren’t home! I have a daughter who enjoys being with the fur babies as much as I do! I make sure I am easy going and trusting when approaching a pup that has never met me. They’re just like us! I am a very loving and nurturing person, I plan to be someone your fur babies look forward to seeing!
About: I have a current access card for the base. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs from a young age. I was involved in a local 4-H program starting in grade school, and am a current Berner mama. Puppies are also not a problem! I am currently staying home with my kids, and working remotely online, so my schedule is quite open. I am available consistently throughout the week. I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort by ensuring a secure environment, following all care instructions, and keeping a watchful eye during visits. Your pet's happiness and well-being come first.
“I travel frequently, and Brandie has been an absolute lifesaver. She’s always reliable, consistent, and communicates so well. I truly appreciate the exceptional care she gave my cats, especially over the holidays. I highly recommend Brandie and will definitely be booking her again for future pet sitting needs.”
“Jen—thank u for your great care of George while we were on our trip. Your playing with him, feeding him, and cleaning up behind him—we appreciate it all. We’d love to have u back next time we leave town!”
“Amanda is one of the few people I trust to watch my 3 cats! She is consistent, communicative, caring, and professional. She is very attentive and lets me know if any of their behavior seems off when she visits. I always come home to my kitties in great condition and my house cleaner than I left it!”
“Shelby took great care of our two cats, Elaina and Lily. She made sure they had food and water and stayed around to keep them company and pet them for a bit. Elaina is usually in a bad mood and snubs me if I leave for even a weekend. , This time, however, both cats were relaxed and seemed very content when I came home from a 2 week vacation! I highly recommend Shelby as a great pet sitter!”
“Brooklynn was amazing with my babies! Lots of play time and pictures. She was very communicative with me and gave them lots of loving. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by different kinds of animals. At one point, my family had two ferrets, a rabbit, a dog, and three cats! I truly have been loving and caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience caring for several different breeds of dogs, including Pitties and a Doberman, as well as cats of all kinds. Currently, I am the proud mom of two of the sweetest kitties, Bean and Hippo. As a kitten, Bean dealt with a rare reaction to the sutures used during her spay. A month after adopting her, a wound appeared near her spay site. Vets repeatedly told us they had exhausted all options and could not do anything further to help close the wound; however, I was determined. After countless doctor's visits, medication, several weeks in a cone, AND almost a year wearing a special shirt for cats that I had found, she miraculously healed! I understand the weight of caring for another living being and am always ready to go the extra mile to ensure that the animals in my care are living the happiest and healthiest lives possible. I would love the opportunity to provide companionship and personalized care for your furry friend! I am my household's manager and create my own work schedule. Because of this, I am able to account for any pet bookings relatively quickly and with ease! I am generally flexible and willing to work with you in regard to scheduling. In my opinion, pet care is personal to the pet! Every pet has different emotional and physical needs. I am more than happy to provide walks, potty breaks, meal time, attention, and play time, as well as any other pet-specific needs that are discussed and agreed upon. Your pet's safety and health is absolutely my number one priority, and I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures during my time with them!
