“Michaela was amazing as always with our dogs and our chickens. We came back to a clean house, and clean sheets in the dryer! Our puppies were happy and we got lots of pictures. We will book again!”


“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”


“Lauren was amazing!! The dogs loved her and so did we. She kept us informed daily. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better and more trustworthy to keep our dogs. I would definitely use her again. She is the sweetest, honest most caring dog sitter, we loved her and we would definitely recommend her to anyone else.”


“Hope did a wonderful job as always taking care of our boy! It makes us feel so much more at ease knowing that our pup is in good hands when we are away and we can’t recommend her enough!”


“Huntter was AMAZING!! He was so thoughtful with each of our girls, giving all the attention my Jack Russell needed while also respecting the space of my shy Foxhound. By the end of the stay, both my girls were in love with him even getting the zoomies when he would return to the house. Thank you for making our girls feel safe and loved while we were away!”


“I wish I could leave more than five stars; we are so happy with our experience with Carly! From daily pictures and status updates, to coming home to a happy pup and a clean house, Carly did an outstanding job and gave us so much peace of mind while we were on our trip. Thank you, Carly!”


“Megan was wonderful. Such a blessing to have someone so sweet to take care of your fur baby. Megan sent pictures through out the day of our pup. It was so nice to see him happy. Would recommend her to anyone. Definitely going to use her again.”


“Chas was the absolute best!!! She took care of four pets that all can be shy but they had no problems with warming up quickly! She gave lots of positive updates throughout our long trip and we were able to fully relax! Cannot recommend her enough!”


“Amanda was amazing!! Harley immediately loved her. I felt extremely comfortable with Amanda staying at our home and caring for our girl! Will definitely be reaching out in the future! 🙂”



About: I have always had a special love for animals! I grew up on a farm and was constantly surrounded by dogs and cats, loving every moment of it! I am currently in between employment, so my schedule is extremely flexible to fit the needs of caring for your pets to ensure you have peace of mind while away. A detailed explanation of your pets needs that is easy to follow, will help me care for your pets like they are my own and meet their needs as if you never left.

About: I have been around animals since I was born and have found my passion and purpose in caring for them. Grew up with 2 parrots, a dog and a rabbit. Started to volunteer in animal shelters in high school and haven’t stopped since. I have 3 pets of my own, 2 cats and a dog, and love them more than anything. I have also been fostering for a few shelters since 2019, and have fostered over 100 pets of the years. My fosters have been underage and sick kittens, adult cats, dogs with behavioral concerns and puppies. I have experience administering oral medication(liquid and tabs/caps) to dogs, cats, kittens and puppies. I also have experience administering subcutaneous injections and fluids. I treat every pet in my care as my own and tend to them with love and care. Let me spoil your pets while you are away. I work full-time 9-5 but I work remotely which allows me to have the flexibility needed to attentively tend to the pets in my care. I always walk dogs on a leash and I am alert to surroundings to ensure maximum safety. In the home I observe pets and monitor their behavior to be able to spot any health concerns as soon as possible.

“Keelee did an amazing job. I am a little paranoid when it comes to my animals being taken care of and knowing how she took care of them gave me piece of mind. I would definitely use her again.”


“We love Denita! Our Samson loves Denita! She takes such great care of him and our home while she housesits for us! We will always look for her first! She’s friendly, reliable, and pays close attention to the details for the care of our dogs. I highly recommend Denita!”


“Brooke was absolutely amazing! Our giant Husky was so well adjusted and happy when we got home from a long weekend out of town. Brooke stayed in our home, giving us such incredible peace of mind. She communicated promptly, sent videos and lots of pictures each day, and is just overall a good human. Can't say enough good things about her and our experience—we have already booked another stay.”

About: I have been caring for a pet since I could walk!! From cats of all kinds, to dogs big and small. I have had diabetic pets so giving meds is nothing new to me as well. I have had large dogs like boxers, pits, and doberman's. I have also had small dogs like chihuahua's, and everything in between. I have a border Collie mix named Ophelia who is my everything, and a calico short hair cat named Blake who was gifted to us through the cat distribution system!! I am great with animals and I am no stranger to behaviors due to separation anxiety. Your pet comes first when you pick me for a job. Their feelings and boundaries will always be respected. And all the love and play time they desire will be respected as well!!! I'm a full time stay at home mom to an 11 year old boy who doesn't need mommy for much these days so I have tons of time to devote to your babies needs!! I will respect your home like it was my own while I am there. I will follow your directions without question because these are your fur babies and you know them best.


“Lauren met our needs exactly! She was able to stay at my home and be with my dogs for most of every day. AND she was very fast to answer every message I sent her. She must have played my dogs tired every day because ever since they woke up they’ve been wanting to play like crazy. I can tell she loves my dogs and cares about meeting their needs and following their normal schedule. I felt very comfortable with Lauren and I am absolutely satisfied with the care she gave my fur babies. I would definitely use her again.”


About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole 30+ years of life, specialized experience includes special needs, puppies and seniors. I have such a love and passion for animals and would love to get to know yours and help you out in any way possible. I have experience with animal care volunteer work through different humane societies as well as some dog training experience and work as a pet photographer. I am currently self employed and am able to come and assist you and your babies any time during standard work hours. After 5pm becomes difficult on a short term notice, but if you request ahead of time I would love to work something out with you. I love hearing all about your pets, honestly, talk away and provide as much info as needed. As a pet mom myself, I understand how important routine and rules are to your family. I will respect all wishes and will come to your home with a sense of calm and respect for your fur baby. I believe that an even tone is key to introducing to new animals and gaining their respect first will always end in gaining their love next.

“Kurstyn was a great sitter to our boys! She was so understanding when I mistakenly gave her the wrong address 🤦🏾♀️ but she took great care of our pets and our home! She sent plenty of pics and our boys seemed so happy in them. Will definitely be rebooking for next time we are out of town!!”
