“As always Katey goes above and beyond to make sure the time she spends with my Oakley wears her out! I love that she takes so many pictures and sneaks in extra cuddle time 🥰”
“My last pet sitter canceled last minute and everything went to crap as my cat pepper "drama king screaming demon" needs medicine for his stomach and anxiety in his old age. Sonny took my black fur ball of rage and distrust and made sure he had his medicine and space as pepper can be a bit "much" she gave lots of pictures and updates and was available within 2 days of booking which I desperately needed. She also worked with me as my family trip had gotten derailed when our car broke down and was willing to watch him for a bit longer as we figured out how to get home. She builds a great rapport and I can tell her own animals adore her and are VERY well socialized. Her kitten peaches ran up to me wanting to say hi and her dog ham was not aggressive in the least meeting me for the first time, he just wanted pats!”
“Our young cat was well cared for by Casey! He had a designated safe space he could use at her house when needed, though he wasn’t shy and made himself right at home. She was very attentive to any needs he had and made sure to send pictures, which our family loved seeing. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Casey again!”
“Highly recommend Amber! Communication was great throughout the process! She came over for a meet and greet prior to providing drop in care for our pets, and took good notes on our typical feeding and potty routines. She also took our pets for walks, and sent updates/pictures, which was so helpful in easing our minds that our babies were in good hands. We will definitely book with Amber again! Thank you so much!”
“Amie is the best! Perfect communication, responsive, always sends photos and is on schedule. Sometimes I wonder of my cats like her more than me!!! Amie is reliable and an overall kind and loving person and I’m grateful to have her to rely on.”
“Danielle is just awesome! She took so great care of our dogs at her house and dropped in at our house to care for our cats. It was the most relaxed vacation we have had in a long time as we never had a worry about any one of our animals the entire time. The search is over, she is now our go to sitter!!”
About: I am available in the evenings and weekends so I can be with your pets at all time and tend to their needs. I have owned dogs my whole life as well as cats. I have also grown up on a farm so I am very comfortable caring for large farm animals as well. I have 2 dogs of my own who are both very dog friendly and 1 cat who sometimes thinks she's a dog but doesn't care for other cats as she was attacked by other cats before we took her in. I love all animals and breeds don't matter to me. Your fur child will be treated and cared for like they are my own! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have long leads, go for walks and go to the dog parks frequently so your pet would get plenty of exercise.

About: I have a little self-proclaimed homestead with 2 German Shepherds, 2 indoor cats, 3 outdoor barn cats, chickens, and honeybees.

My furbabies require a lot of love and attention, I adore them all and would love to spread some TLC out to the cats, dogs, and any critters in my community. I love caring for all animals! I am constantly caring for my own fur babies morning and night, but I would love to help you out on the weekends as my availability allows! When I am at a clients home, I really like to respect their wishes and care for their animals as they would. I try to go over as many details as possible as far as where they can go on the property and if they prefer the pup to be on a leash or not.
About: I grew up with cats, but have been dog sitting on and off for 10+ years. My husband and I got our first dog almost 2 years ago and I can’t imagine live without him!

When coming to your home, not only will I be respectful of your home but pay careful attention to and follow any and all care instructions for your pet.

I feed my pets once in the morning and once at night. I walk my dog in the afternoon and let him off leash when no one is around. My cat is indoors, so I feed her, play with her, and give her space when she needs it. My dog lives in a kennel outside, but I go out to play with him by walking him to an area where he can run free and also playing with him with his toys.

“Rachell watched our 3 dogs when we visited family in Kentucky. Only asked her to let em out a few times a day to potty and eat but she went above our expectations and played with them, was very attentive and gave us a breakdown of their moods and behavior while we were away. So lucky to have her nearby (Rachell is noticeably an avid animal lover). Though I did get a little jealous when the dogs weren't overly excited when we got home. They definitely hadn't been starved for attention!”
