About: It would be my pleasure to help care for your pets while you are away. I grew up with an assortment of pets and have owned a handful of pets of my own, including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and birds. I have also provided care for a guinea pig. I work full time Monday - Friday, I have flexible lunch breaks to allow for drop-in services. My evenings and weekends are pretty open for spending longer amounts of time in your home to provide companionship for your pets. I prefer caring for your pets in your/their home. This allows for a comfortable, familiar environment while receiving care from someone new. When possible, initial meet and greets prior to first visit is appreciated. I like to be a friendly, familiar face when possible.
“Mikayla watched my girls for a weekend and I couldn’t be more thankful for her! She sent picture updates and made sure my babies were taken care of all weekend long. Will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we’re gone! Highly recommend!”
“Anna did a great job with our two puppies and under unusual circumstances because the maintenance people needed access to our townhome while she was there to fix an electrical issue so they were in an out. She was very communicative and it was great to have her. I’ve had her watch a dog of mine before and was impressed now as I was then. Thanks Anna!”
“Mattie did a great job watching our 2 dogs. The temperatures were in the upper 90’s-102 degrees while we were gone. She was sure to keep them in and out of the heat but letting them out when needed. I would have her watch our dogs again.”
“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”

About: I have taken care of my family and neighbors dogs before while they have been out of town. They have relied on me for walks, potty breaks and feedings. I’m currently working full time, but during my free time after work I usually go to my neighbors house to play with there dog and take it for a walk.

“Reiah exceeded my expectations! She stopped by to meet the boys days prior to staying at my place. I had a list of how to feed the boys, walks, bed, etc. she read them and understood. She sent videos and photos while we were gone with the boys and offered to be at my home when I arrived back home. She was personable and the boys loved her! I felt very comfortable having her take care of my fur babies! I can’t say enough great things about her! 💯 satisfied with her services!! Will definitely be hiring her again! - Renee”
“Kristina was amazing with our fur baby Jak. She took really good care of him and hung out with him and kept him company due to his anxiety. I would definitely have her watch Jak in the future. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have been working with animals, big or small, for all of my life. These fur babies not only need love, but someone that can pay attention to every detail so your fur baby gets the best care possible. I am used to any fur babies that need medication or have strict medication schedules since I’ve had a cat with CHF. They are not only your pets, but they are family so rest easy knowing that they are in the best, loving hands. I am pretty flexible and I understand that not all fur babies are the same so their schedules are tailored to you and your specific needs. I have an open schedule so any day you need me, I’m sure I’ll be able to help! So, unfortunately, I do have 2 fur babies myself so I can’t house any babies, but my two biggest values are trust and communication. I do Like to send daily photo updates. while you are away, your furry kiddos are now my furry kiddos so I will treat them as if they were my own. Safety plays a huge part in my service’s incorporated with playtime, attention, and all of my love!

Victor M.
“When leaving town, a dog owner worries about his pet. I prefer not to use kennels. Victor stays with my dog and I come back to a happy dog, which is very apparent. I live downtown and after I return, I often hear from others that they have seen my happy bernese mountain dog walking with Victor. My dog is well fed, given attention and never disregarded. I know of no other dog sitter better than Victor. I am deeply indebted to him for his care of my dog Fred.”
