“Beth and her daughter were wonderful house sitters!! They followed my detailed instructions carefully and there were no issues. Beth sent pictures of my pets and even videos of my puppies playing in the yard. She responded to all my texts quickly with updates as I wanted them. The house was left in perfect order, just the way I left it, and she even washed the sheets and towels they used. I highly recommend Beth and her daughter!”

“Nora is an excellent pet sitter. She was patient and caring with my older dogs. She kept in touch and sent pictures and videos and I appreciated that. We will definitely use her again!”


“Lashay is amazing! She has sat for me a couple time now and takes such great care of my pup! She does a great job reinforcing the house rules and keeping my fur baby on schedule. She is an amazing communicator and I always know what’s up with my pup. Highly recommend.”

“Jamie was an absolute lifesaver. We needed a sitter for the day on short notice and she was very accommodating. Very polite and professional. The dogs absolutely loved her! We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future.”


“Laci did a great job taking care of our 2 energetic springer spaniels (Willey is energetic+) She spent 2 days with them in our home. She followed all directions we left for her and checked in with us periodically - including pictures. We have had the same sitter for 7 years so we were somewhat nervous trusting the "kids" to someone new. Laci was a great choice! I will not hesitate to book her again and recommend her to my friends!”


About: I have had the joy of being surrounded by pets my entire life. I have been caring for my own pets (family pets included) and also my friends pets. I have pet sit for my parents cats and I have also pet sit for my friends goats and chickens on many different occasions. I have also had the pleasure of taking my friends dogs on multiple walks. I enjoy every minute I am surrounded by animals of many different shapes and sizes. I currently work from home and have the opportunity to have an open schedule during the week. I am available Monday through Friday from 6am - 10pm. Please make appointments at least a day in advance and cancel three days before scheduled appointment, if need be. I provide the best care for every and any animal I come across. For my own cats specifically, I make sure that they have access to fresh water and dry food daily. I also feed them wet food with the cleanest ingredients, 3 times a day. I also make sure to scoop their litter box multiple times a day and change it out every other day. I will transfer this personal experience of mine to your pets by providing them with the best care while also respecting my clients rules and wishes.

“Amber was able to watch my two dogs at my home with very short notice. She was very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. I came home to two happy pups after a weekend away and will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: Hey everyone I'm Ella and I've always had a house hold full of pets. Growing up my parents allowed a wide variety of animals to stay in our home. I love animals so much that I'm going in to a career field that is dedicated solely on the help of marine organisms. I currently live with a dog, cat, bearded dragon, leopard gecko and a ton of fish. So basically I can care for any pet needed. I work part time so I have a ton of free time on my hands. I’m trying to find better ways to spend my time rather than always going out. Hanging with any pet is always so fun and usually a better time then going out to begin with! Each pets different, all come with special likes and dislikes. I usually love to take dogs for walks but some may not be able to walk, and in those situations I like to do mind puzzles. For pet sitting I’d come over to the clients home and spend a few hours with them unless it’s a sleep away care. Pet walks would last min 30 minutes just to give the dogs some fresh air longer than normally done during days.

“We were away for 8 nights and felt comfortable the entire time because our dogs were in good hands. Chris was a great communicator, followed the schedule, and did a great job taking care of our 2 high energy, sometimes high stress dogs. One of our dogs has significant fear during storms, and Chris did a nice job handling that and providing reassurance.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs every since I was a kid I grew up on a dog farm so they became a second family to me.

I have a fanced yard and I have a dog of my own that is very friendly to others and love to play and she can keeep your babies company as well.


“Hannah was a hit with the dogs as soon as she arrived for her get-to-know meeting! I have 3 dogs ranging from 4lbs to 70lbs and she was so calm and patient with all of them while they were greeting her!! She sent pictures, responded quickly to any texts I sent and was so flexible when our trip was shortened. I definitely will be using her again AND feel very confident in referring her to friends.”


About: I have always been around animals my whole life. I got my first dog at 11, and he’s still around and is the love of my life. I’m currently enrolled in college and only working part time, so I’m looking to see if I can help others out like how they’ve helped me. I will feed your pets, take them out or let them use the restroom, I will love and give them as much attention as possible.

About: With a spacious lakefront property, I provide endless walks, frequent potty breaks, and serene relaxation spots, ensuring your pets enjoy a blissful, loving care experience.
