1. Mary K.

“Mary was amazing! She was professional, accommodating, and thorough. She was patient and thoughtful about addressing each my pets’ needs. Mary was clearly experienced in dealing with dogs with shy/fearful personalities and did really well with my dog (a rescue) who can be challenging to dog-sit. She was incredibly kind and treated my pets as if they were her own. I felt so comfortable leaving my pets in her care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have been happier with the pet care service that Mary provided! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!”

About: Does your pet love walks and hikes? Or even just laying on the couch and relaxing? I do everything in my power to make your pet the happiest they can be while you’re away. I have trained numerous puppies and train basic obedience skills. I also love cats and have a few of my own! I do work in a vet office so I know all the basic pet medical needs and can handle most emergency situations! I’m currently employed a vet clinic so I have lots of basic vet knowledge to take care of your pet! I am available throughout the week, mostly after 5 pm or before 8am for check ins. And available most weekends for in house boarding or house sitting I live in a very secluded area with very little traffic. We have lots of state land and trails for waking and hiking. If pets are good with other pups they will have play dates with my lovable lab and border collie




9. Emma J.

“Emma was extremely reliable and communicative. She let Leo express his needs (play, cuddling, chilling) and gave him the attention and time he needed. Her updates and pics let me know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emma for your cat sitting needs!”


10. Chantal C.

“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”


11. Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”


12. Aubree P.

“Aubree was great and showed up on time both days! She sent us pictures of our cat Teddy and he looked super happy. When we got home he had a full food dish and water so she is very responsible! Would definitely recommend her for drop ins with cats!”


13. Aaron M.

“Thank you so much for taking great care of the cats. I really appreciate the extra touches you did - watering plants and taking care of the trash. It made a big difference!!!”


14. Gabriela S.

“Gabriela was amazing! She kept in contact with me every step of the way, making sure I knew she made into the house, fed my cat, if she had any unexpected events come up, and when she was leaving to ensure there were no gaps in care or guessing game. Her degree as a vet tech also reassured me my kitty was in excellent hands! I’ve already hired Gabriela again for another stay.”

20. Emily S.
About: I'm Emily! I've taken care of a variety of different animals since I was very young, from dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies, chinchillas, guinea pigs etc. I've grown up living with dogs since I was a child so I'm extremely comfortable around many dog breeds big and small. Family, friends, neighbors and coworkers have relied on me for years to watch over, care for, walk, feed etc. their pets. I have lots of experience with big dogs and am really comfortable walking them, I grew up with 2 rottweilers and a great pyrenees so I'm used to a big dog on a leash. I am currently a college student with a light open schedule so I will be able to fit your needs pretty much however you need. I would make sure your pets safety is my number one priority and my second priority would be to make sure your furry friend is enjoying their time! We would play a bunch of games, go on walks (I have multiple woodsy paths near my home).
