“Hailey was great with our dog Merlin! He walked a long way with her and my girlfriend and I could tell right away that Hailey loved our baby boy :-) We look forward to her visits with Merlin again soon!”

About: Animals have been a true passion of mine for my entire life. I have been in the Animal Care Industry for close to a decade now and have been a licensed Pet Stylist since 2015. Additionally, I had the luxury of growing up on a family farm, which provided me the opportunity to learn about the proper care & handling of a wide variety of different animal species. My soul dog passed away 5/21/25, so caring for your fur babies brings me lots of happiness and comfort. I love being able to care for and dote on them like I did for my boy 🧡 I am available every day of the week, including all holidays. Drop in visits I am available between the hours of 8 am and 10 pm. I have certifications through Fear Free, A.K.C. SAFE & Pet CPR/First-Aid. I have experience handling & caring for pets that might need a lil' extra TLC due to their medical issues, fear/anxiety and reactivity. You can view my certificates on my Instagram @havocs_house


“We had Amber come and drop in for a few days while we were away for our wedding. We were ak nervous at the thought of being away from our fur baby as we never have left him before. Amber was amazing and sent us a lot of updates with pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”


“Tina is an amazing sitter for our girls! Her love for animals shines through her personality. She’s very responsive to requests and our girls enjoy their time with her. If you are looking for a loving, caring and reliable sitter, Tina is your gal!”


“Raven was absolutely amazing! When I met I had warned that my pup and I have never been apart since I got him. She was super understanding and took the time to help me feel comfortable while we were apart. She not only read through his Binder I left out for her but also did some of the training activitiestfrom his Binder. She sent me photos and videos of my lil guy so that I could vicariously be apart of his day. As an added bonus, I noticed that she even put his toys away. Im so used to his toys being all over the place so it was just a nice surprise to see them tucked away so neatly. I would absolutely recommend Raven and would honestly say that leaving your pet in her care will guarantee that they will have a good time and will be well cared for.”


About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Right now I am not currently working. I am available anytime to take care of your loved ones. I am just a request away when you need it. I have a friendly dog for play dates. I do not have a fenced yard but I do live near a park with plenty of running room.

About: All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away. I recently retired from being an insurance agent for 20 years and am very flexible with my time and can be available for short or longer stays. I will take great care of your pets, will administer medications, walk them or play ball, keep them company while your gone. And I will treat your home and belongings with respect and keep it clean and safe.

About: I am an animal lover and always have been. I grew up with both dogs and cats and love both equally. My schedule is extremely flexible and I don’t mind commuting to take care of your fur baby! I have a lot of compassion for animals and take extra care to give them both physical and emotional attention. I love being outdoors and will make sure that your pup is getting plenty of exercise. I am currently a student with a flexible schedule during the week. I am available in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings for any service you may need. Weekends and Holidays available as well. When caring for your pets while you are away I will first and foremost make sure that they feel comfortable with me. I have excellent attention to detail so I will be able to follow any care instructions including special accommodations for your fur baby. I love spending time with animals, they will be getting plenty of attention to distract them from missing you!

About: Hi! I’m Madeline, I’m 28 & a lifelong animal lover with a calm, caring nature and a knack for making pets feel safe and loved. With years of experience in customer-focused roles, I understand how important trust and communication are, especially when it comes to your furry family members. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just keeping their routine steady, I’m here to make sure your pets are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I’ll always keep you updated with how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! Pet care is woven into my daily life — I care for my own cat and rabbit every single day, so things like feeding schedules, litter boxes, playtime, and grooming are second nature to me. I build my schedule around making sure my animals feel safe, seen, and loved — whether they’re mine or yours. Fitting your pet into my routine feels like second nature, not a task. My pets are indoor only. My cat does not get along with other cats or dogs so I keep her safe and separate. The way I would keep your pets safe is listening and communicating you and your pets needs. I’ve opted to not board pets because it would not work in my homes dynamic.

“Kelly truly went above and beyond to take care of my menagerie of a household! I have a dog, two freshwater aquariums, a large collection of succulents, herbs, and in-ground garden of tomatoes, marigolds, and much more and Kelly kept them all thriving while I was on vacation for 10 days. Kelly was extremely flexible, communicative, and professional. She sent me many photos of my baby Pug and kept me in the loop for any developments. She was super punctual and showed great care in making sure everything was well taken care of! I would most definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for pet care! I will certainly rebook her services for future trips as I trust she will be an excellent caretaker of my precious pets! ? A big Thank You to Kelly for an amazing experience!”


“Outstanding last minute drop in, great notes and pictures of the animals, perfectly followed guidance and the animals were happier because of it. Couldn't believe we got someone when we did, so I cant thank you enough!”



About: I have a doggo of my own and would love to meet yours as well!! Registered Nurse looking to walk dogs in my spare time. Thanks for trusting in me! Work a few days a week, and my schedule varies each week. I am very active and would love to walk and run your pet! I can accommodate and help with whatever your dog needs at that time, whether it’s just letting them run around your yard, playing with them, tiring them out on a long walk or run, providing companionship and snuggles, etc.. just let me know!

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and love animals! I started house sitting dogs about 10 years ago in Oregon. Nova is a golden retriever and she is a pretty low key and very good with all dogs, cats and children. I have experience with both rescue dogs and anxiety ridden dogs. I love to be outdoors so your furry friend will get plenty of exercise at a place of your comfort! I am excited to care for your pet for you :) I currently work a part time job and have flexibility for most days and times of the week. I have a little girl that does most everything with me and understand if arrangements need to be made to accomodate your pet’s comfortability around children. Just let me know. :) I have a fully fenced yard and our sweet Nova (golden retriever) to keep your pet entertained and engaged. We have a pretty laid back style in the home with dogs allowed on couches and beds. They have an abundance of dog beds in a few rooms too if that is more your preference.

About: I have taken care of dogs of many breeds. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to feed and care for their dogs. I have experience with little dogs and big dogs. I also have experience caring for dogs that need medication due to health issues. I currently work full time in the medical field. I am looking to make side money to save for nursing school. I love animals and would love to care for your animals. I have a fenced yard, I have two fur babies of my own that I care for that are super friendly. I will care for your pets as I do my own. I also have crates available if needed.

About: Looking for more reviews? Check out Trusted House Sitters and search for my profile. I care for all living beings, but dogs are my go to when it comes to spending time and feeling at home in a world I choose. I've trained many breeds over the years and have heard various techniques. The older I've gotten the more formal the training I've received. All of which has been positive reinforcement training. I once went through a program that taught me how to train my own service animal. The techniques are very similar to the way I was during my early years when classes were not on my radar. My dog would simply go everywhere with me and learned how to behave in each setting without much effort at all. With the more formal training in recent years the fun part I find is desensitizing, shaping, training while playing, and having a great friend with me at all times. I do not claim to have had a ton of success reversing already spun habits. It's important to start pups young in many cases, though there are also many dogs that are easy going enough they can pick this up in no time. Whether you have a pet for the the home, all kinds, I will care for them as you do and I'll send you on your carefree way with full confidence. Boarding dogs at my house is limited to easy to manage temperaments and activity levels do to the fact our home is very small with hard wood and we have no fenced yard. My husband and I are both retired. I've recently lost my elder Irish Setter who spent most all his time with us. Now I have a Mini Poodle pup who's being trained to fill some pretty big shoes. So far it's smooth sailing! When going into others homes I simply follow their daily routines and instructions. My time is devoured to the animals. I rarely have things that would require me to shift focus. While at our house I make sure needs are met first, set the tone with rules of the house and have plenty of interactions with them through out the day. We take frequent walks and set up play time in the garage. I love the elders and yet can't pass up a puppy. I've not sat for cats in my home and would not feel comfortable doing so unless the owner knows something I don't know regarding their outings.

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Christine and the exceptional care she provides for our animals. She has lovingly looked after our horses, dogs, cat, and chickens with a level of attentiveness and compassion that truly sets her apart. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whenever Christine is caring for our crew, we feel completely at ease knowing they’re in the best possible hands. She treats each of them like they’re her own, paying close attention to their individual needs and routines. Her professionalism and warm, caring nature give us peace of mind every time we’re away.”

She always keeps me updated on anything that is going on with him and she always sends me pictures when I am away! My furry pup always seems to enjoy being with Abigail, and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch your furry friend!”

Kerry A.
“Kerry has always provided such excellent care for the animals in her life, but more importantly, she understands that pets are family members and always treats them as such. For several years, Kerry watched my dog during the day while I worked full time. She took him on adventures with her own dog and gave him the love and care that he deserved, which was much different than the experience he had when I brought him to doggy daycare. I am grateful that my dog experienced the level of care that Kerry shows her own dogs and family members. Highly recommend!”
