“Cara was AMAZING!!!! She was wonderful with communication and was so great with everything all weekend! From helping dog sit last minute and through TERRIBLE weather - Cara was great through it all and I will definitely request to have her watch my pup again!!”


“Greta was absolutely amazing! They took the time to meet my dogs beforehand, which made me feel so comfortable leaving them in their care. Throughout the stay, they kept me updated with messages and photos, so I knew my pups were happy and well-cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”



“Melissa took the job short notice. She went above and beyond taking care of my 2 Pomskies. She worked with them to help us fix some of their problem areas, and she walked them every day. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for them. We will keep her in mind for future overnights, walks, and drop ins. Thank you for all your help Melissa!”


“I couldn’t say enough good things about her! She has a very good friendly personality and is still professional. My dog loved her and it seems she took good care of him and he seemed happy. My house was very neat. I will definitely use her whenever I need a sitter.”

“Audrey (and her friend Devin) were amazing! She was very flexible with arrival and departure times for our Moose, a 3 year old pup, who loved playing with her fur baby, Duke, as well! She was able to stop by our home twice before the dates we needed her for to meet her and her fur baby and they were both very sweet. Audrey updated me while I was away to ensure my dog was okay and also was very great with giving him plenty of love and attention all throughout the day! Moose was very tired the next day so I know she got plenty of play time and exercise in during her stay. We came home to a clean house that was exactly how we left it. Audrey was overall was very accomodating, sweet, trustworthy, and made it very easy for me to feel comfortable leaving my pup. Thank you Audrey and Devin! Moose can't wait to see you again next weekend ?”


“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”

Aubrey is attentive, considerate and kind and we’re so glad we found her! Thank you Aubrey for giving Rusty & Roxie great care when we’re away. It’s comforting to know they’re in great hands!”


About: I am a retired RVT aka animal nurse. I worked at MU for 6 years in their ICU/ECC department and their shelter medicine department. I also have grown up on a farm with many farm animals. So I can provide care for inside and outside animals. I have worked in veterinary clinics since I was 15 years old. I’ve ridden horses for most of life as well. I am well versed in medications and health issues. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I am available at anytime to provide love, support, and care to all your furry friends. If you have medications that need to be on a schedule just let me know! I will be happy to keep you informed during my stay to ease your worries. I can provide care based off of your needs and your animal needs. If you have a senior that needs extra support and medications, I know all about the worries related to that. I have many years of experience with working with all ages. I have taken fear training over the years. I work with a German Shepherd Rescue for many years. That has allowed me to learn about hyperactive dogs who need a lot of mental stimulation. I am willing to help give medications even if you are home and need help! Just let me know!

“Logan was so flexible for our schedule changes due to an emergency. With him, we have peace of mind and don’t need to worry about our boys. Highly recommend having him house/dog sit!”


“Great experience! Ryan was very kind, professional, and took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was so nice to leave our dog in her own home for the weekend, knowing she was in his care. House looked great and we will definitely be utilizing him again!”


“Nikki is a wonderful dog/house sitter! She was prompt with communication while we set up the meet and greet/during our trip, sent a message to check in to confirm our booking prior to our trip (we booked with her long before our trip), and sent daily pictures and messages! When we met with her, I instantly knew she would be a great match - she is kind, had a calm voice/demeanor when interacting with our dogs, knowledgable about pet care, punctual, and asked questions/took notes during our initial visit. Our home was just as we left it, and our dogs were happy and well cared for while we were out of town. I highly recommend Nikki and would not hesitate to book with her again! Thank you for treating Charlie and Rosie with such love and care while we were away!”

“Tara was Great!!! She watched our Newfoundland and our daughter's deaf and blind aussiedoodle. She kept us updated and of course with lots of pictures. When we got home we could tell they were well taken care of.”


“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”
