“Skye was incredible house sitting our 2 pups for 4 nights and 5 days. She maintained communication and sent frequent photos. She made time to come socialize with our dogs during a short visit prior, so that she could get to know them as much as possible. Unfortunately, one of our pups got an upset tummy while we were away and had some accidents in the house. She was so gracious and kind in cleaning it all up, and went the extra mile in giving our dog a probiotic (we had some in the house), and cooking her chicken and rice to help, upon our request. 10/10 will book with Skye again. Thanks Skye for taking great care of our fur children! <3”

About: I've pet/house sat for multiple people in the past. Animals include dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I like to have a meet and greet before ever staying with your pets alone. If you have any special diets or quirks make sure we discuss them in advance! I don't mind staying for a few hours to watch your animals or just drop in, whatever is needed! I have a nighttime job so, your animals will need to be able to be alone at night a few days of the week! I will discuss meal plan, how often you walk them/let them outside, and if they have meds with you prior to caring for your animals.
“Tiffany did a great job taking care of our pets and small hobby farm. She communicated regularly before, during, and after our trip. Tiffany was also flexible when unexpected things came up. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Traci is so amazing! Our pets loved her so much. She is very attentive and detailed which i really appreciate. She stayed with our pets for 7 days and everything went very smooth. She is very kind and easy to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Allison was great!! We have an anxious large Retriever and we came home to a happy content boy! The house was cleaner then when we left and we got so many cute photos and updates. Very happy with Allison and highly recommend!”

“Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.”


About: Growing up, my family didn’t have pets, so I love my friends and family’s pets like they are my own! I am intentional and ask questions when learning from owners how to best interact with their pet(s). I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, up to two of each at the same time. I prioritize playtime and being active with any pet I’m responsible for. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and can adapt my skills and schedule based on their unique needs. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue the job search post graduate school. I am able to support pet owners with short-term drop ins, frequent walks for high energy pets, and extended stays. I am available to care for pets in their own home. I aim to ease any stress by keeping their environment familiar and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible.
“We are really happy with the care provided! Mackenzie was very attentive, sent multiple pictures of our boys, and even made us aware of some water in our basement. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have dog sat my friend’s dog, her aunt’s dog, and my sister’s dog. Dog sizes range from small to large. I love taking dogs for walks. I also love snuggles just as much. :) I would be available Thursday night after 5:30 to Sunday evenings. I currently work all day Monday, Tuesday/Thursday afternoons (12:30-5:30), and Wednesday mornings (7-12). I am off on Fridays. I live in a secure condominium. The front and side doors are both locked on the building at all times. Only homeowners have keys. I have stayed in other people’s houses as well. I always make sure to leave the house looking clean when I’m done dog sitting. That way you don’t have to worry about cleaning up after me upon returning home.
“I used Jess for several years when I lived in Iowa, usually a couple of times a year or more. I absolutely loved her. She did the little things that go above and beyond, like taking the garbage out - bringing in the mail and packages, leaving my house cleaner than she found it and even taking my pups to the dog park. There was one stay where my Sheltie choked on some food and she literally gave him mouth-to-mouth. She saved his life. We miss her a lot and can't recommend her enough!”

“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our 13 yo female dog in our home while we were away. Kaitlyn took care of all of her needs, including medication and left the house without a trace she was there. Would definitely rebook with her.”
