“Cassandra was a great cat and house sitter. She was communicative, sent us great pictures and videos, kept the house clean and tidy, and followed instructions for Kitty’s care. Kitty seemed well taken care of and happy. We will definitely reach out to Cassandra for our future travels. Thank you, Cassandra!”


“Gabrielle was great with communication. Bruce and Dori were as relaxed as ever when I got home which means they had a good experience with Gabrielle as well. I will definitely try and book her again next time I travel.”


About: From making sure to engage in adequate playtime and socialization as a puppy to assistance with grooming to the occasional diaper change and medications for senior care, I've loved and adored taking care of our family Bichon Frisé Angel Baby! Every pet brings a different personality and unconditional love to our lives, because they're not just friends ~ they're family! So why not give back just as much love as they give us? You are your fur babies' whole world, so give them the gift of a little company, a fun walk, playtime, and extra treats and cuddles! I'm currently unemployed, but still live with my parents, so I'll have plenty of time to look after your pets! If this changes at any time, I will let you know immediately, so I can assist you in finding other arrangements or finding a compromise to ensure your pet still receives the care they deserve! Because Angel Baby can get a little jealous since she's an old lady, we don't have other dogs at our house, but she still gets all my love! This means cleaning up the occasional potty accident, routinely checking that her toys are functional and free of any potential hazards, keeping up with her medication schedule, and making sure to stay attentive of vehicles and plants she may try to ingest during walks. For my new furry friends, this also means ensuring that all laundry detergent and other dangerous substances are properly secured/stored and making sure the yard is free of any hazards or any broken/insecure fencing. You will be notified as soon as possible of any unsafe conditions, because your fur baby is family and we protect our family!
“Brian was great with my dog! He sent me lots of pictures and updates which put my mind at ease! I was worried about leaving her with a stranger but the pictures of them playing and her chilling out let me enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be calling on Brian again.”

“Elizabeth was a great pup sitter for Jazz and Sully, our 2 rescued Golden Retrievers. She kept us informed and sent photos, and during the meet and greet, we felt very comfortable leaving our "kids" and our home in her care. She left our house nice and clean, having done her dishes and vacuumed, and even changed and washed the bedding from the guest room where she slept. I recommend her highly and will definitely call her for future needs.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away.

“Kendra cared for our 2 large dogs for 5 days. I have a 2 year old Great Dane Mastiff mix and a 12 year old English Mastiff. They both instantly fell in love with her kind nature. My old guy needs daily meds and an eye drop in his eye, Kendra had no issues with that. We came back, our house was clean and well kept. Most importantly our babies were happy and had a great time hanging out with her. Will rebook soon.”

“Gabriela was wonderful and responsive and came ahead of time to meet which allowed both of us to be comfortable with each other. She was also very responsive and respectful of my concerns. I highly recommend her.”

We will use her again!”

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I also work at a doggy daycare full-time so I am familiar with pet behaviors and knowing how to tend to dogs in ways that they need.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student studying early education at the Ohio State. I have a pretty flexible schedule with my classes but would love to try to accommodate your pups needs. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to give your dog the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.
“5 STAR ⭐️ Jasmin and her pup Thor took the best care of my deaf bulldog, Mouse while I was out of town for 3 nights. I was so worried when I saw that there would be extreme heat during my time away but when I reached out to Jasmin she asked great questions and listened carefully to how I usually handle hot weather to keep Mouse safe and comfortable. Jasmin provided great updates and pictures/video that made me feel able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Jasmin carefully followed Mouse’s complicated feeding and medication needs. I feel Lucky to have met Jasmin, she even provided some training for Mouse and I on a behavioral issue he was having.”

About: I've had my own dogs for my whole entire life. I know that dogs need their daily exercise, and attention to make sure they are satisfied. I have watched my families dogs for many years whenever they go on trips. I understand dogs needs and how much attention a dog may take. I currently have a free schedule. I am working on getting a part time summer job while I am home from college. As of right now I do not have one and I am availaible anytime. I can easily travel to homes to help take care of dogs or walk them. I understand how important it is for dogs to be let out fed and exercised. I will ensure dogs are safely let out to use the restroom and they are on a leash if they need to be walked to ensure the safety of the dog and others.

About: I have a pup of my own! I have worked at a boarding/daycare facility, feeding, letting out, and bathing dogs of all breeds and sizes, with the occasional cat, bunny, lizard, and even a parrot! I have also worked as a dog walker and sitter for a company in Kansas City, the best job i've ever had, but unfortunately had to move back home to Montana. My schedule included 30 minute walks, driving pups to dog parks and watching them play, staying overnight at clients' houses to care for their dogs (and sometimes cats) while they were away, and falling in love with all the pups that I was working with! I am currently available anytime I am needed! I'm very flexible and will be able to accommodate your requests, as I would like this to be a full time job!!

About: My history in animals includes 10 yrs of wild life rescue and pet rescue on the East Coast and 6yrs with Animal Rescue of Tracy on the west coast. I have fostered hundreds of dogs and cats. I am an orphan bottle feeder. I believe all pets are family and should be treated as such. I also understand that no two pets are the same and while one might prefer to sleep under the covers with the humans, another may prefer to be in his own crate. I am set up to accommodate those needs. When I say yes to your family it means I have cleared my schedule and your pet and family are my priority. I also come with a camera so that you can get updates on your pets adventures and day with me. If your fur baby is camera cheese you most likely will get a little pet photo shoot which was always my favorite task at the rescue. My services also include pet sitting in your home, dog walking and am comfortable administration meds. My goal is to keep your fur baby as happy as I can during your away time. I also recognize that some have anxiety when away from their humans which is why my focus is always to help them feel secure and happy till you are together again!
