“Tammy did an excellent job and sent pictures and videos. She stayed with the cats for a nice long period of time and even got the scared to come out and say hello which is quite the testimony!”
“Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!”
“Jackie did a great Job doing daily drop in care for our elderly cat. She was friendly and understanding about his routine,, that has become higher maintenance now that he is older. We enjoyed Her daily photos of our old man! It helped us feel more relaxed about being away. Grateful for Jackie’s care and would recommend her to others.”
“Kim did a fantastic job taking care of my cats!! Since Ozzy developed diabetes, it’s been hard to get away for a long weekend. Kim was able to give him his insulin and it really eased my mind. She provided updates and pictures with each drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Kim for your pet care needs.”
“Brianna has been doing drop in/walk visits with Parker. She’s fantastic with him, so clearly a dog lover!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him, and I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, and I truly love them equally—I could never pick a favorite. I currently have a cat of my own, and I’m often around dogs thanks to family and friends. I’d be happy to help take care of your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I work from home most days, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I make sure to take a midday walk around noon, so I’m always available for lunchtime strolls. I’m also comfortable with early morning or evening walks—whatever works best for you and your pet! I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety, respecting their space and routine based on your preferences. I’ll make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times. At home, I have one very friendly and social cat who’s used to being around other animals and people.
About: Hi! Im Kerri! I grew up on a farm and we had cats, dogs, and bunny rabbits. I have always love animals and have a LOT of experience caring for them. I will love and care for your dog just as you would so you can enjoy your time away without any worry. I have experience with older animals, I know animal CPR, I can administer medication or ear drops and anything else your dog may need. I will send you updates and send pictures while you are gone so you can see the fun they are having! I have 3 kids at home who are great with animals so your dog will get lots of cuddles and play time. I would love to care for your pet while you are away :) My husband and I alternate days working at home so someone will always be home to take care of your pet. I will follow the schedule that your dog is accustomed to so that they can feel comfortable in their new home away from home while you are away. I treat each dog like family and let them pick where they are comfortable sleeping and relaxing unless otherwise specified by you. We are in a convenient location just a mile off of highway 35 which make drop of and pick up easy. I will take your dog for a couple walks a day on leashes and they will be secure in the house unless taken outside on a leash. I will abide by your instruction left for your dog. Please let me know if you have any special request and I will make that happen!
“Tiffany was attentive, reliable, and took great care of my cat while I was away. Their help was truly appreciated and gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands. Highly recommended!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since my family got our first dog when I was eight years old, and even before then, I'd volunteer to help family and friends with their dogs. For 25+ years, family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me with the care of their dogs, relying on me to keep a close and caring eye on their furry family members in their stead. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Whatever their needs, I'm confident that I'll be able to provide the level of care that they're accustomed to. I have two friendly cats (Horus, 6 years old, and Finney, 2 years old) to keep your fur baby company, and if your pet is accustomed to spending their time on your furniture, they're more than welcome to lounge on mine.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a 9 year old dog, a 13 year old cat, and about 30 chickens! I have had most types of caged animals, including birds as well. Right now I am offering care for cats and chickens. I work from home so have flexibility to come and go as needed. I am also home to provide care for you dog with multiple potty breaks and walks each day! I can provide drop-in visits for cats or chickens checking food/water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving snuggles. For chickens, I can check to make sure they are secure in the evenings. We live on a hobby farm and have 20 acres to roam. Our dog loves running though our walking path in our prairie. We do not have a fenced yard.
About: I pour my heart into taking care of animals. I lead with my heart as it is full of care and empathy and that is exactly what animals need. I am available any time right now during the day and am available to board your animals overnight. Available any time during the weekends as well. Wonderful walking paths for excersice, safe house, available to crate, minimal objects in home to keep environment safe for pets. Three level home with a small yard and tons of walking paths and opportunities in the neighborhood.
About: I specialize in teeth brushing. Happy teeth, happy fur babies. I also love going on walks, and I'm in the process of setting up a agility course. I currently work M - Thursday, with that in mind you could head out early for a nice long weekend, knowing your fur baby will be well taken care of. I have a large back yard, lots of woods, private area. Fur babies welcomed inside and out. If special needs are in order just ask, we want to make sure you are relaxed, and the same with your pet.
“Nikki did an excellent job watching Paisley and Artie. I was always informed and a few times she brought her mom, who really enjoyed her visits with them. I would highly recommend and will always rebook with her. Artie is very shy and he and Nikki were best of buds. Thank you for doing an awesome job.”

Rebecca P.
“Becky is the biggest animal lover you will find! My 2 little dogs just love her! Both dogs are special needs and Becky does a great job meeting them at their level. They require extra TLC, and Becky knows how to take care of them. They are always super-excited when they see her. Dogs can tell if someone is faking it. I have no hesitation in recommending Becky as a caregiver for your precious pets. If dogs could talk, here's what they'd say..."we love our Aunt Becky. She knows how to give the right pressure when giving me belly rubs on my sensitive tummy. She also doesn't make any sudden moves that scares me or makes me anxious. She gives me lots of cuddles, even though I shed....a lot! She speaks to me with kindness even though I can't hear her. She's one of my best friends". As a person, Becky is honest, funny, smart and has a lot of integrity. You will enjoy working with her.”
