“Madison did a great job house sitting and pet sitting for Simon. I was gone in a trip for 5 days. The place was clean and she went above and beyond with pet updates and had rapid response times. I definitely will use her for any future trips. I highly recommend that you use her for your pet/house sitting.”


“Shayla was very sweet with our kids, especially with our very senior Lady Ume. She kept us updated texting and with photos. Shayla was respectful of our home and we returned home to a clean and tidy house. We have already reserved Shayla for a second visit.”



“Bale was GREAT!! I have a senior pup and she was amazing with her. She sent pictures, checked in and was there at all requested times. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter. Knowing Bailey was happy and in good hands during my weekend away was a huge stress relief.”


“Stone was fabulous! She watched my dog and cat (house sitting) while I was away for 4 days. She is punctual and reliable and she communicated with me throughout my vacation to keep me informed. She also did a wonderful job meeting my fear-reactive dog. She was patient and calm and gave her time to get comfortable with her and now my pup adores her!! I highly recommend Stone for pet sitting, house sitting, or pet walking!”

“Jase was a FANTASTIC home caretaker & dog sitter for Zooey and Nelson during a recent 12 night stay. Jase was attentive and adaptable to each dog’s unique needs. Jase even asked about our house plants watering schedule that was not included in the lengthy care instructions. Jase left no detail unaddressed. Jase provided frequent updates and pictures of the dogs and was super communicative and responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; yes, I am a helicopter Dog Dad. I, as well as my spouse, are so appreciative of Jase’s kindness and care of our home and “kids”. I would rebook and recommend Jase’s house/dog sitting services to anyone in a heartbeat! Jase is simply the BEST! A 5 star rating isn’t enough; I’d give 10 out of 10 hands down! THANK YOU, JASE!”

As nervous dog parents to leave them with someone new, we are very happy to have found Mikayla and would absolutely book her again!”


“Emma was wonderful in watching my young pup Rémi. She checked in regularly and Rémi was a happy boy upon my return. Will definitely reach out to Emma again!”


“Both Selah and her partner have a clear deep caring for animals. They will go above and beyond for your pets, and will literally go the extra mile to make sure you energetic dog gets the attention and exercise that they need.

About: *About our place: For the holiday season I am booked! My son is available to housesit and do drop ins if interested please let me know. He has plenty of experience housesitting for friends farms as well as taking care of our pets. I will oversee his work. Our property is like a huge dog park! We have 3 treed and open fully fenced acres with a doggie door, covered deck, agility course, a pond for those that like to swim, plenty of toys, dog beds, room to dig and play and friendly dogs to play with. We have dogs, cats, and ducks (which are always penned up safely). We cannot take aggressive dogs or cat aggressive dogs. If your dog is reactive to other dogs we are unable to accommodate them. * About me I owned a grooming shop for 17 years and worked at a vet clinic for 15 years. I have also worked with multiple dog rescues over the years. I have experience with special needs dogs and those that require extra TLC. I only use positive reward based training. * Boarding For this option, your pup(s) will be staying in my home. I have dogs myself , so I ask for advanced notice of at least 72 hours before drop off because dogs coming last minute can be disruptive to our home life. Due to an unfortunate circumstance and privacy concerns with a potential client I no longer allow people inside my home for meet and greets. We can do meet and greets in our fenced back yard if you so choose. Meet and greets are not required. We often offer a trial day in lieu of a meet and greet as dogs act different when their owners leave and we want to see the true dog. I can only take a max of 2 dogs at once. If from different families I must know they dogs before they are allowed to interact with another family’s dog and be similar in age, temperament. All male dogs over a year must be neutered. No female dogs in heat. Dogs should be crate trained in the event of an emergency. If you have a puppy we can work on gentle crate training by feeding the pup in a crate and letting them out immediately after. The crate is always associated with something positive. We are not a kennel, this is our home and everyone’s safety is top priority. Your dog will be able to roam the house, sleep on the couch, use a doggie door to go in and out as they please and lots of playtime. We cannot hold spots available for you unless you reserve the spot. I adjust to your dog’s schedule. I do not expect them to adjust to mine. *Other Pets For this service we can also pet sit for more then just dogs. Caged animals such as birds, reptiles and small animals have their own private room. We have experience with snakes, bearded dragons, a variety of geckos, sugar gliders, rats, guinea pigs, bunnies, axolotls, and birds. Caged animals are NEVER allowed to intersect with other species or other animals they did not come with. We can feed, interact with and clean cages as necessary. The price is the same as our dog boarding fees due to the extra attention exotics need. **all pick ups must be no later than 6pm. If you are ruining late the dog or small animal can stay another day and you can pick up in the morning. *Housesitting- I do weekends only* For this option, I will provide drop ins during the day and stay overnight in your home. A meet and greet is required for this so we can go over food, dog’s or cats access in your home, potty break times, meds needing to be given etc. I can walk your dog during drop in times or play with your kitty. I am dog and human CPR/First Aid certified. I can do any type of medications your pet needs as well as feed any diet your dog or cat needs. *Doggie Daycare- Pick ups must be no later than 6pm. Your dog will have access to our huge backyard, they can swim in our pond or play in the baby pool. We have a small agility course and we do lure coursing. Plenty of my own dogs to run and play chase with. Due to our schedules we have the flexibility to give pets the time and energy they require. We don't use any harsh chemicals or pesticides on our property. We use beneficial nematodes in our yard to prevent fleas and other pests. My husband and I work opposite shifts so someone is always home. We have a doggie door so even the youngest pups can get outside to use the potty when they need. Our deck is separately fenced from our yard so they are always supervised. I treat all pets like family. I worked as a dog groomer and a vet tech for many years so I have a lot of experience. We can tailor the experience to fit your pup’s needs if necessary. While I do work, my husband and I work opposite shifts and my teenager does online school so someone is always home. We tailor our schedule to fit your dog’s needs. Dogs are welcome on our couch and we also have various dog beds for their comfort. My dogs are part of our family and your dogs will be cared for the same way.

“Mark was great with our dog Nimbus! He kept him company through the fireworks on the 4th of July, followed our instructions about food and medication, and nothing was amiss in our house when we returned. Nimbus was calm and relaxed after the stay. Thank you Mark for taking good care of our sweet boy!”


About: Experience with reactive dogs, large dogs, and dogs working on training programs. Positive reinforcement and prioritizing the comfort of the dogs in my care is a MUST. My schedule allows for ample flexibility to meet your needs! Early morning feedings are never a problem for this early riser, and frequent potty break needs are never a worry! I have a service dog who typically accompanies me in all that I do and he loves to play with new friends, though I do have some capacity to leave him in the event of reactive pups on my schedule! I also have a fenced yard if your dog needs space to run in a safe and controlled environment.

“Kaylie was reliable, excellent at communicating, and provided excellent care. She took time to bond with my pets, was attentive to special needs, and handled their quirks with kindness, gentleness and humor. I came home to peaceful and happy pets:)”


“Sierra took great care of Rori while we were out of town. She kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages. In addition, she took excellent care of our house, keeping it tidy and bringing in several packages. We will definitely have Sierra take care of Rori again in the future.”
