“Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.”
“Hard to miss how much Nathan and Jenna love dogs. And how could dogs not love them in return? They have the most amazing set up for a play area for the many dogs they welcome to their back yard. They kept me updated with photos and videos of our Petey as he enjoyed romping with other pups in the back yard and found just the right spot on Jenna's lap to cozy up. Thank you Nathan and Jenna for allowing Petey to join the fun at your home.”
“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”

“Mark and Vicky took very good care of our little Babies. Took the worry out of thinking about them being away. And sending us oodles of pictures put many smiles on our faces. Will use them again for sure. ”
“Kaylee watched our dog twice this summer and no one was more pleased than our dog herself. The second time we took her she knew where she was and was so excited to be there. Kaylee is great, knows dogs and spends meaningful time with them. We’ll continue to use her!”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments — including walking, feeding, giving medications, and providing loving companionship. I’ve helped care for both puppies and senior dogs, so I understand the patience and attention they each need. What Sets Me Apart What sets me apart is the calm, attentive energy I bring to every dog I care for. I treat each pet like a member of the family, taking the time to understand their unique needs and personality. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific routines or care instructions. If your dog needs extra time, snuggles, or someone who can read their mood and body language, I’m your person. I’m also experienced with basic training reinforcement and keeping pets stimulated during walks or visits. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care in consistently throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits or walks, depending on your dog’s needs. I enjoy being active and outside, so daily walks fit naturally into my routine. I also prioritize reliability — if we set a time, I’ll be there. Pet care isn’t just a side gig for me; it’s something I truly enjoy and make space for in my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, triggers, and preferences to make sure they feel secure and comfortable. I always follow instructions closely, keep a clean and pet-friendly environment, and never leave pets unattended during walks or outdoor time. If I’m in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d expect in mine — locking doors, keeping things tidy, and communicating clearly about how things are going. I also stay alert to changes in behavior or health and will notify you right away if anything seems off. Building trust with both the pet and the owner is important to me, and I’m committed to providing reliable, thoughtful care every time.
“I felt very comfortable and happy to go on vacation and know my dog was in great hands. Received updates and they took into account that she is skittish and was great working with her.”
“Dakota was a great sitter. Hunter had a great time with her. He played a lot and she sent amazing photos throughout the trip.”
“We went over seas for 14 days. Aimee kept great contact with us and sent us videos and pictures. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our fur babies with her and her husband. I highly recommend her as a trust with and caring sitter. We will use her again for several trips we have coming up in 2025. Our gratitude is immense. Thank you! 😊”
“Jan was wonderful! She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs (including rescue dogs). I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Juno, with her for the week. I’d highly recommend Jan!”
About: I am a cat person. I own 6 cats and am well on my way to being a crazy cat lady. I taught high school English for 10 years and have taken care of children my whole life. I find it really difficult to trust someone to come into my home to watch my cats. I wish I could find someone like me to do it. So, here I am! Let me take care of your cat. I am home 7 days a week, and I only step out to go to the gym or run some errands. I am only gone 2 hours a day. My schedule is very flexible as I work for my fiance's electrical company. As a former teacher, I am a great listener and will do whatever you deem necessary to care for your animal. I am mostly looking to cat sit.
“Greg did such an awesome job of taking care of our dogs. I think they thought they were at Doggy summer camp and had a great time. Greg also took pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing. He also had a great sense of humor and outlook about the dogs. We will definitely use his services again!!”
“Kate was an amazing sitter! She made the entire process seamless, providing regular updates and adorable pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
