“If you want a pet sitter who will treat your pets like their own, pick Mackenzie!! She is our go to pet sitter for our three dogs and two cats. She goes above and beyond every time and is so good with them all! I have dogs ranging from 7 pounds to 110 pounds and I would trust her with any of them any day! Thank you Mackenzie, my babies love you!”

“Vanessa is such a kind individual, and our puppy loved her right away. We are so lucky we found her to watch our little fur baby, and our little guy is so lucky to have had such a great play date! Thanks, Vanessa!”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve fostered dogs for a canine rescue, allowed pets to stay in my home while their owner was waiting for a new home as well as numerous pet sitting opportunities at their owner’s houses. I teach until 3pm and get home around 3.30. Depending on the day, I may have to coach or work my second job during the week. Weekends are usually more flexible but I can make almost anything work! I follow the exact instructions that the owner leaves or communicates with me, especially if it comes to meds or feedings. I enjoy caring for people’s pets as if they were my own and allows me to get my animal fix whenever possible 😊
“Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.”

“This is who you want to care for your dogs! Fantastic experience leaving our dogs for the first time with someone not family. Zero issues. Home and dogs were well cared for and taken care of by someone who knows dogs and has experience.”

Mackenzie was an absolute dream of a cat sitter. She took such thoughtful care of our two cats with both morning and evening check-ins, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about them 💕 She kept everything clean and tidy, made sure they were well fed (and well loved), and kept us updated with nice photos and messages. Her updates gave us total peace of mind, and we came home to two very happy cats. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

We were so lucky to have found Stephanie! Our usual Rover recently had a baby and Stephanie happened to be available for a last minute booking. They were quick to respond, easy to communicate with and loved the boys. Everything went smoothly and we look forward to having them watch the boys again soon! We would highly recommend!

Sanibel had an amazing time with Stephanie. She hung out with her 2 nights in a row during our wedding weekend. The 2nd night as soon as she saw her she was prancing her way excited to spend the night with her. Stephanie was super flexible and accommodating and we knew right away Sanibel wa in great hands. We hope she can spend some time with her again!
