“Tristan has house/dog sat for us many times. She is amazing. She always shows up on time and does all the mouse care and pet care. Feeding , walking and medications. She sends pictures all the time and is a great communicator. Our dog Takoda loves her too. The house is always left the way we left it. We love to have her in our home.”

About: I have a 4. year old dog, Kane who doesn’t know a stranger. Human or dog alike. I spent a year assisting in the training of K9, schutzhund, and over all protection/ obedience. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sorts and absolutely love them. I spent a lot of time volunteering at the local animal shelters in Kansas City, where I am originally from, so I am good with dogs behaviors and what to do and not to do’s. I can take your dog on a run, or pop in and give him his food and play for a bit. Or even stay over night if your pup is uncomfortable in new surroundings and needs to be in his home space! I’d love to care for your dog! I work hybrid and when I am in the office I don’t have issues stepping out to take walks and when I’m working from home I take several breaks to go on walks or the park. I stay super active and make sure my dog and any dog I care for has lots of enrichment and stimulation! I make sure that I’m always in a safe environment and make the dogs feel comfortable.
“Tara was great! She completed all tasks very well. She left my house neat and clean w dishes done and garbage and recycling taken out. I’ve only used 3 other pet sitters and she was by far the best! We had a little difficulty communicating and operating around the bitter cold, snow and ice conditions, but she rallied. Tara is personable and conscientious - I would definitely book her again.”

Danyelle S.
“Danyelle is a very responsible individual whom I would trust with any pet! Her empathetic and selfless heart shine through especially when working with animals. Personally, seeing her with my own cats is so heartwarming. When she first met my rescue kitten, Simon, he warmed up to her immediately despite his lack of affection towards me. I’ve never seen a cat more well-loved than her cat Gunther, and the bond she’s been able to grow with her is so touching. She is so passionate about kindness towards every living being- not just animals, but in the people she interacts with day to day as well”
