“We have used Kailie now 2x for our rescue dogs, cat and fish. She has stayed at our house while we on much needed vacations, and we always came home to well cared for animals, a clean house and no surprises. She sent us pictures every day, which we greatly appreciated. To have someone stay in your home and care for your animals is a big ask, and Kailie made us feel relaxed about this each time. I cannot recommend her enough!”


“Kate was a wonderful dog and house sitter! Our two dogs were better off then when we left as Kate did some training with them. They took lots of walks and seemed very happy and healthy. The house was great as well.”

“Julia did an AMAZING job!! We have two active and needy Jack Russells whom she took amazing care of. She sent me updates throughout the day which really eased my mind seeing how happy they were with her. Highly recommend, especially if you have high expectations of care for your fur babies.”


About: I have had dogs for all of my life. Through the years I have had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and several mixed-breed dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, managing multiple online jobs. This allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day to give your pet attention, exercise, and any care they need, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. I live in a somewhat secluded area, which makes it easy to take dogs outside for walks or playtime, either on-leash or off-leash, depending on their comfort level and training. My home has plenty of space for dogs to play indoors, so they can stay active and entertained no matter the weather. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, both inside and outside.

“We are so grateful for Shaylee! She stayed with our dog, Olive, and took such wonderful care of her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Olive was not only safe and well cared for, but also loved. Shaylee was attentive, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Olive was happy and comfortable. We came home to a very content pup, and it was clear she had been in great hands. Shaylee is a true professional, and we are so thankful for her!”


“Nicole was just excellent with our dog Josie. She handled Josie’s anxiety so well and did so much to make sure Josie had a good time! She kept us updated frequently, and asked all the right questions. We would not hesitate to book Nicole again!”

About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.

Donald C.
“Donald (DJ) is an awesome pet sitter! He watched my new puppy when I had to go out of town last minute and was super helpful! I was nervous to leave the pup with someone new since he was new to our home also but he was probably more skilled at taking care of him/ training him than I was. Dj is super reliable, available on short notice for walks/weekend hangs and will definitely spoil your pup with attention. Highly recommended pet sitter!”
