“Danielle did a great job! My cat is diabetic and gets insulin 2X a day. This was the first time being away from him since he was diagnosed. Danielle came over and met Blue Jeans prior to my trip and was very communicative throughout my trip and sent pictures every day. If you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Danielle.”

“Paige is reliable and pleasant. Paige has been to our home several times. Besides carefully following care instructions, Paige has gone above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of our pets. Our dog and kitties were content and well fed. We will continue to book Paige. Thank you!!”

About: I have over four years of hands on experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I’ve cared for animals of all types, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, and providing gentle, attentive care—especially for geriatric and special-needs pets who require extra patience and understanding. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work full time but I am able to leave for lunch and take care of your precious pets! If they need 24/7 care they can come with me to work and get to go outside as many times as they need. I have a front yard that is fenced and I am in walking distance to the dog park if that is something that your dog loves. At clients home I will stick to your pets normal routine.
“Kourtney was amazing with our two dogs. We had been looking for someone to take care of both our dogs for quite sometime and we were glad to have found Kourtney. She did a great job looking out for our dogs while we were out of town. Her communication in every visit was spot on. I would definitely recommend her and we will be rebooking her for our next trip.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Now that I’m older I’ve had plenty experience caring for them whether that be pet sitting for friends and family or in my line of work. Something that will set me apart from other sitters you may come across is my experience working at a kennel. This includes specifically working with service dogs, boarding pets, and k9 working. I’ve worked with a variety of dog breeds, ages and behaviors, meaning I can cater to whatever your pets needs :) Since I work as a kennel technician, being with and caring for animals is practically second nature to me. Being able to pet sit would be right up my alley and perfect for the experience I have. Your pet is 100% guaranteed to get the best care I can provide. To list a few this includes always having fresh water, appropriate exercise, meals according to their routine, cleaning up any messes, administering any medication and of course lots of attention.

“Katie is wonderful! She is attentive to detail and communicative and loves on our dogs like they're her own! She also doesn't hesitate to ask questions to clarify instructions if need be!”

“Kelsey went above and beyond, and managed a tricky situation with a couple of anxious cats, one indoor, and one outdoor. She was extremely helpful and did some other things that I asked her to do like take care of my plants and take out the trash. Kelsey was kind, smart, and stayed in communication with me throughout the entire week that she took care of my cats. I highly recommend Kelsey!!! She is so awesome!!!”

Danielle did a great job as usual even though our kitten didn’t remember her from last time and was a little spicy 🌶️ Everything I asked of her was done and I got lots of cute pics from each visit that helped me feel connected to them while I was away. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter that that puts their mind at ease 🥰

Michael went above and beyond with our chickens! Even though it appeared at first he had not had a prior experience with hens, he took great care of things. He even anticipated that their water would be frozen in extreme temperatures, and brought along his own water to make sure they had some. He is flexible and very communicative. We will definitely be hiring Michael again!
