“Barbie has been doing drop in visits with Miller for several months now and I could not be happier with her exceptional service. She is extremely reliable and truly enjoys her time with my dog which I know he loves. I never have to worry whether or not he is being well cared for. I would highly recommend Barbie to care for your furry babies!!”


About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and i’ve always had a passion for working with animals. I have experience as a dog bather so i’ve seen various breeds and i’ve met dogs of all ages! I am an animal lover, I’ve taken care of all types of animals from dogs and cats to goats and cows 🐄. I am determined to make your pets time with me as stress free as possible! pets>people! ❤️ I am currently working part time, so your pets will have my full attention! I have a dog myself as well as two cats who I am responsible for as well as other family pets. I have one dog who is very friendly, and two outside cats. if your dog is stressed by other animals I am able to set up a crate if needed in a separate room or also just spend a lot of time outside with your dog to keep them happy and away from the stress. I have a fenced backyard and a safe neighborhood for walks. This also applies to your home

About: I've been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, rats, and birds my whole life. I've got experience caring for animals with special needs as well (diabetes, behavioral trouble, etc.) and am comfortable dosing medication too! Most importantly, I've never met an animal I didn't love and care for as if they were my very own! My work schedule is flexible, so I can work with you easily! Days, nights, and even late nights or overnights when needed are doable for me. I live near many parks and trails and love an outing, which allows me amazing access to enrichment activities and exercise for your pets! Walks and play will be engaging and fun for your pet. In your home, your pet AND your space will be respected and treated with care.

“Katelyn did a great job keeping our cat company and also keeping an eye on our two chickens. She also watered my daughter’s plants. Our cat was way less stressed than when we have boarded her during trips. We would hire her again.”


“It was my first time booking through the app and I'm so glad I did! Kristin was great. We needed a short notice sitter and she even made time to meet my dogs beforehand! She sent me text updates throughout the weekend with each time she dropped by and sent me pictures of my dogs and what they were up to! Can't wait to book with her again!”


“McKenna not only was punctual, kind, patient, and communicative, but she also has fantastic integrity. One day my cameras malfunctioned and I didn’t see the notification that someone had checked on the dogs, so the worst cases were running through my head of course. She was so sweet and (I can’t stress this enough) PATIENT with me while I was nervously asking questions. I’d recommend her 1,000x over.”


About: I have given care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with all personality types, and sizes. I also have experience with cats, as an owner and sitter. Although I am a full time student and full time worker, I always make time for the pets in my life. I work full time but remotely, so I am able to take on pet care from anywhere. I have weekends and holidays off, which allows for more play time! I have my own dog who is hooked up and supervised when outside. I also have a pet first aid book and carry supplies on me.

About: I am a person dedicated to animal welfare and I specialize in the care of adult dogs, although I also have experience with puppies. My priority is that each dog feels safe, calm and happy, like at home. I offer a complete and personalized care that includes: Daily walks with attention to your pace and needs Food according to their schedules and special diets Medication administration (if needed) Baths and basic hygiene care Much love, patience and company Your dog will be in good hands, with someone who really loves what he does. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. From early in the morning until the end of the day, I organize my time according to the needs of each dog under my care. Each walk, meal, game or moment of rest is part of a routine designed with love and responsibility. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules, adapt activities according to the dog's age and energy, and always be attentive to its physical and emotional well-being. More than a task, taking care of dogs is an essential part of my day to day and something I deeply enjoy. 1. Professional organization of space I have a clean, safe and adapted area according to the size and personality of each pet. I use beds, toys, and differentiated areas for rest, play and food. 2. Structured but flexible routine I plan the day with fixed schedules for walks, meals, baths, and rest time. I adapt to the specific needs of each pet (medication, diet, energy level). 3. Communication with the owners I maintain constant contact with the owners through messages, photos or videos. I inform you about how your pet is, if he eats well, if he plays, or if I notice something unusual. 4. Hygiene and well-being guaranteed I clean the spaces and utensils daily. If required, I give baths or perform basic hygiene care. 5. Security and responsibility I never leave pets alone or in a cage I know basic first aid for animals 6. Love, attention and respect I treat each pet as if it were mine. I strive to make them feel comfortable, calm and loved, like in their own home.

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, other than family, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. Cassie went above and beyond, taking care of our cats and home while we were away. Even our very shy cat, who takes days to come out while visitors are here, was out within a day and looking forward to her visits. Regular updates, photos, and personable accounts of the visits all added up to easing our minds about how the cats were doing, and we can't thank Cassie enough for her care of 2 of our furry family members! Highly recommend and will be calling Cassie for sure next time we need someone to watch the cats.”

About: I have many years of experience with dogs, cats, and horses. As I grew up horseback riding, volunteering at 4-H events, and at our local shelter, my broad range has me equipped towards any four legged friend!

With the passing of our family’s German Shepard a few years ago, daily walks, feeding, and even the casual car ride were some of his favorites. With this being said for our known house pets- I am also familiar to outdoor pens; water troughs, electric fences, stables, etc.
