“Makayla's active experience with young children translates well into calming, affectionate, and playful interaction with dogs. We all enjoyed our meet & greet immensely and knew our fur kid was in great hands with her.”
“We had Shaun watch our 2 active Doberman pups at our home for 2 nights. It was our first time leaving them overnight so both the family and the dogs were a bit anxious. Shaun did an excellent job with easing our nerves. She sent us updates with photos and when we came back home, the house was clean & she even did a load of the dog laundry! I would have her dog & house sit again in a heartbeat!”
“Ellie is awesome! She stayed at our home with our three cats. She befriended our cranky old man & took excellent care of our boys. Ellie kept in contact with photos & updates of the boys. I greatly appreciate her care & support allowing me to feel comfortable while traveling. I will most definitely plan any future trip around Ellie’s availability to look after our guys!”
“Glendon gave us continuous updates with pic and videos of our happy pups. They were relaxed and well taken care of. Glendon cares for animals and makes us feel reassured when we are away. Will definitely book with him again.”

“This was our first time having Chloe house sit for us. We have a senior dog, and a bunny. We’ve used other sitters before, and Chloe is the best we’ve had. After 5 days away we return to happy animals, and the house was clean, and tidy. She even went above and beyond watering all our plants, and our garden. Great communicator. Plenty of pictures of our happy pets. Highly recommend Chloe as a sitter.”
“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup! She played with her and gave her snuggles! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos. Awesome sitter! I think Bella is sad that we are home and she doesn't have Beth! I recommend her highly!!!!!”

About: I have 3 years experience working in vet med as well as daycare/boarding. I’ve worked with all kinds of sizes, breeds, and ages. I’m capable to administer meds and any other specifications your pets may need. I have two fur babies of my own; a 6 year old tuxedo cat and a 9 month old great pyr/golden retriever puppy. I work on a dairy farm so I’m available Sunday to Thursday afternoons and evenings. Friday and Saturday I have more flexibility on my days off. If you really need someone at 4am, I’m willing to make something work I am someone who will follow instructions exactly as I’m told and love to make your life easier. If there’s certain routines or commands, just let me know. I’m here to help you out in any way I can. I know with my own pets they have a schedule and certain ways they’re used to things being done and life can be challenging if they’re thrown off course.
“Rachel was wonderful! She looked after our pups when we went for a day sail and they were happy and content when we returned. She was very thoughtful and calm with our slightly nervous Aussie Shepherd X and kept us updated throughout the day. Thank you Rachel!”
“Sydney petsit in our home this past week, taking care of our cat and dog. She was incredibly responsive and sent sweet pictures of our pets throughout our trip. Our neighbors often pitch in to help with each other's pets, and Sydney coordinated with these neighbors to provide seamless care. Definitely will be working with Sydney again!”
“Elizabeth was phenomenal! She came by a day early to meet apollo and understand what his needs and routines were. I recieved plenty of pictures of apollo while I was away whether they were just playing in the house or out on walks around the neighborhood. Then upon returning home I walked into a freshly cleaned house. I would recommend using Elizabeth 150%. I will use her service again the next time I need them. 5/5 stars”
