About: I’ve had a puppy and a senior dog, I am great with all ages! Love them all the same! I have trained multiple puppies and taken care of multiple older dogs, I do have two of my own little dogs that are very friendly and love to play with other dogs! I’m home a lot and I have to take care of my two dogs so I am almost always home. They are my top priority! I have a big front and back yard as I live on 8 acres of land. We are not close to the road so no worries about that! I have plenty of room indoors for other dogs!
“Kristen was wonderful! She was patient and attentive to my pup. Normally I board my dog for work trips but he had a cough so I opted to have her come take care of him at home. This was entirely new for him and he took a minute to get used to her, and she was amazing working with him. She was diligent with his meds and feeding schedule. She communicated clearly and often. She tooks him for walks every day and posted pictures so I cough see my boy while I was away. I can't recommend her enough.”

About: One of my cats has separation anxiety and chronic health issues, so I know how hard it can be to travel while worrying about your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I have owned pets since I was a kid, and have also spent over a decade riding and caring for horses. I have experience administering medication to cats, and am meticulously observant about any behavioral changes. My husband and I own our own company, and I work from home full-time, so my schedule is extremely flexible. This also allows me to bring my work to your house and spend extra quality time with your pets. My goal is to provide an enriching but calming experience for your pets while you’re away so you can have peace of mind while you travel. I have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, and I monitor pets closely for any behavioral changes. I also want your pet to have an enjoyable, stress-free experience - wether they need cuddles or play (and hopefully both!) I am happy to cater to their individual needs.

About: The people closest to me know me as their go-to pet sitter for any and all occasions! I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I spent years volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs and socializing both dogs and cats. I have been pet sitting for over a decade, and come with excellent references. I have strong empathy for animals, and I'd love to become your most reliable pet-sitter! I am available most mornings, days, and evenings. I am open to boarding if the situation is a good fit. My schedule is flexible so please feel free to just ask, I am happy to try and accommodate! I have a small fenced yard and screened in back porch, living in a very walkable neighborhood. I am respectful of any and all environments, responsible, and reliable. You can count on me to ensure your pets needs are met and then some, your space is left tidy, as well as ensuring your home is secure post-check in.
“Shelly is absolutely wonderful! She has been working with my puppy for a while and I can see how excited he is on my security camera. When he was having belly issues she was sure to give him his meds and help how she could. She reaches out with questions or concerns. I can tell she loves visiting. Thank you Shelly!”

About: I’ve had animals ranging from Great Danes to chihuahuas to cats since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. They are like children to me. I am very kindhearted and compassionate for caring for all animals. I have cared for puppies, kittens, seniors and even farm animals. I also have experience in giving medication and shots to animals.

“I can't say enough good stuff about Cheyenne! You should know that I have never trusted many people with my animals, but Cheyenne earned my trust and kept it. Anyone who knows me knows what a huge compliment that is. After another sitter flaked out on us, she came to the rescue at the very last minute. She is always on time, communicates well, kind, caring, and went way beyond to make sure not just the animals were happy... but us too. We put extra on her and she willingly went even further. I hope she is still doing this when we go on our next trip! Again, she is great. Great customer service, very professional, and great with animals. :) Cheyenne, I'm sorry I didn't share the YouTube videos for the parrots sooner. If I had known it would make yall instant friends, I would have. Lol”
“I hired Paige to care for my cat while I was away for a few days and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly, communicated clearly and consistently, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat was well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
