“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”
“Georgia was available on somewhat short notice to look in on our two older cats while we went away for the weekend. She was always on time and gave them attention when they needed it. Was able to give insulin shots with no issues. She was great with communication and showed respect to our home and property. Will definitely keep her in mind for our future cat care needs!”
About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in.

I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs.

We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this!

We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.

Gabrielle W.
“Gabrielle has been the best dog sitter I have ever used. My dog loves her because she goes above and beyond the bare expectations, spending extra time with him, taking him on more than just the basic walk but to the dog park (with my permission), and just genuinely caring about his wellbeing. I have recommended her to several friends who also have used her very regularly and are happy. She is trustworthy, hardworking, and reliable. She's the best.”

Jana H.
“I've known Jana for over 30 years and in that time she has always had a fur baby by her side. Dogs, Cats, even sheep. She is someone who pays attention to the actions of her pet so recognizes when there may be concerns. She is respectful of the health of her animals and has them at the vet regularly for checkups and doesn't feed them inappropriate people food that can cause health issues. Sadie, her border collie, is nearing her 16th year and while slowing down of course, is still a gentle friendly, and healthy dog as a result of Jana's care over the years. I know she is excited about the opportunity to share her love for dogs by helping others when they need a sitter. I highly recommend Jana for this opportunity.”

Brittany S.
“After my dog sitter double booked, I was scrambling to find a dog sitter for my 14 yr and 3 yr old dogs for 9 days. Someone recommended Brittany S and I couldn't be happier. I have never boarded my dogs, so in home care was important. She came 3x's a day, fed, walked and played with my dogs for an hour each time. The dogs did great! I have security cameras so I knew when she came and left. I will keep her on speed dial for next time I have to go away, even if only for a day trip to Chicago.”
