“Cheryl was great. She is a professional, and you can tell that she cares about her job. She took care of my babies well and she sent photos daily, which kept my mind at ease. She also watered my flowers and plants and I really appreciated that. She is completely reliable and I will definitely use her again. 😊👍”
“Amber was a terrific drop in for our 2 pups!! We had some very specific needs for our dogs and they were carried out to the letter. She sent plenty of pictures to give us reassurance ( our first time using Rover). We will use her again when needed.”
“Haley did such a great job with Rocket!! I loved getting updates and pictures after each visit. If you're looking for someone who will love your pet as their own and take great care of them while you're away, I definitely recommend Haley!! We will definitely be using her services again!!”
“Abigail was great! My baby was shy, but she made sure he had food and a clean litter box daily. She also gave updates that let me know although he hid he was eating, playing and using the potty while she was away. She even grabbed my mail which I appreciate.”
“Cierra went above and beyond and was flexible to changes that occurred with new animals in the home. She was reliable, a good communicator and the animals seemed to really like her via the photos. We will definitely have Cierra back pet sitting again.”
“You will not find a better petsitter than Judy. My animals were in such capable, caring hands with her. It is the best trip away we have ever had because we did not have to worry about their care at all! Judy is a real natural with animals, and even our more shy cats were happy to see her by the end of the week! I cannot recommend her highly enough and we will be sure to check her calendar before our next trip away!!”
“Allyson is the best, most thoughtful dog sitter ever. I know we all hate to leave our fur babies but I never worry because I know without a doubt my dog loves her because she goes out of her way to actually spend quality time with her when I am away.”
About: For the past 10 years, I have enjoyed working with a variety of dog breeds. I am able to help train pups and support older dogs. I offer families an opportunity to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe. I often make sure all my dogs are well walked often going on a 1-2 mile walk with them depending on the weather I make sure my all my cats get all kinds of love and attention In my home, pets enjoy structure, play, and plenty of love. I have a big fenced yard for my dogs to run around in In your home, I keep routines consistent and your pets relaxed.
“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my senior cat, James. She was very patient with him and responded quickly to any of my requests. She also sent lots of pictures and cute comments.”
About: While bathing your pup may not be mine nor your fur baby’s favorite, I know that being their temporary “human” with be of utmost importance to you while you are away. While my own fur baby has developed some separation anxiety, I have become much more sensitive to the importance of routine and care in our fur baby’s lives. As I would want someone to treat my pup, I plan to treat your fur family just as such. While I work during the week, my time does open up on the weekends and my time is much more flexible then. I am in education, and if any of you may know, or weekday routines can be busy. Therefore, caring for pups on the weekend would work best. We have crates, if needed, and live off the beaten path to avoid many encounters with vehicles. Farm land surrounds us with many fritters to watch for entertainment.

About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 3 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 1 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together. I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.
