“We scheduled Sam for a 10-day house and pet sitting for our 2 dogs. This was a longer than normal vacation for us which made us a bit anxious about leaving our dogs for so long. Sam eased our minds with his professional and compassionate care. He kept the dogs on their regular schedules and activities, and was very conscientious taking care of the house too. His communication and pictures helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation! We returned to calm and happy dogs, and the house was clean and tidy and it seemed like we hadn't been gone.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8, staring from reptiles to common in-home pets. I bathe, walk, feed, play, monitor, etc. Your fur baby will be in great hands. I’m currently working from home so your pup or kitty would be in good hands and will be monitored the whole time they’re away from home. I have a fenced yard and reliable transportation so if your fur baby would like to go to a doggy park that’s included! I also have a playful welcoming pup.

“My house looks great annd anll in good order and my pets are happy. Lindsey did a fantastic job. I'm so happy she agreed to take care of my three guys: Nicky, Marmalade & Oliver while I was away for a week.”


“Stacy was absolutely incredible with our with our pup! We seriously cannot say enough good things about her! We greatly appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet with him so he would be comfortable with her before she stayed. We knew right away that she has a true passion and great knowledge of caring for dogs. He instantly took to her calming nature. Our boxer gets a little separation anxiety from us being away and her compassion for making sure he felt loved and comfortable put him right at ease. She truly went above and beyond. As a worried dog mom, her constant updates made me feel so much better knowing he was doing well. I loved getting her frequent photos and videos of him through the day. She stayed at our home over the 4th of July weekend and we had some periods where fireworks were giving him anxiety as well. She was so patient with him and stayed in his room with him so he felt comforted. When we arrived home our house was left just the way we left and our boy was happy as can be! We won’t go to anyone else for watching our boy! If you have the opportunity to book with Stacy you will be so lucky! We are so grateful we found her.”


About: I've grown up taking care of and loving animals, and have always wanted to go into a profession where I can do that forever. It's always made me happy to care for dogs and cats, and I'm so excited to be able to help other dog and cat parents take care of their babies!! I've dog sat both newborn puppies and raptor puppies and one senior dog so I can handle anything they throw at me for sure!! I am currently unemployed because I want to find the right job for me, so I have all the time in the world to tune into your pets wants and needs!! Maybe I can turn this into my full time job! Currently I do not offer my home to take care of your babies, but that is only because I have 4 dogs and two cats already and I feel that would overwhelm any dog or cat that stayed here! Although I have family I live with and a fenced in yard so they roam as much as they can of course and are very happy babies. My family takes care of them while I care for your pets at your home so it's a win win situation!


“Katie was a great sitter. She arrived on time, was very attentive and caring with the dogs. They seemed happy and content with her which takes a lot off of my mind. She had to leave before we got home, however she washed, dried and folded her bedding which is definitely going above and beyond. I'd highly recommend her.”


About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I have cared for my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and i also grew up on a farm. I wish to be able to take in any animal. I love taking the fur babies out for walks and play time outside. People have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, and give medicine to their fur babies and give them just as much cuddles as they would when they are home. I am a stay at home dog mom and so I can take care of your fur babies all day and they would have my full attention all times of the day. I have two fur babies of my own that love to play with other dogs. I also have a fenced in yard so they are able to run around in and have fun. I can accommodate to any needs your fur baby may need.

“I have used Angela twice for 1-2 weeks when I was out of the country. She does a wonderful job with both my dogs, one puppy, and one very old dog. When I used to the second time, they seemed extremely glad to see her She even watered my plants! I highly recommend.”


About: I've taken care of cats ever since I was young and dogs more recently. Girlfriend and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets... I currently work full-time 2nd shift. So although I won't be free in afternoon I'll have all morning to play with either your pups or cats! I'm available for boarding on Friday and Saturday after 3pm. I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs that my girlfriend occasionally brings over for the night when she visits, and a cat who's a little timid at first, but once he warms up he is very affectionate and enjoys company.
