“Tammy did an excellent job and sent pictures and videos. She stayed with the cats for a nice long period of time and even got the scared to come out and say hello which is quite the testimony!”
“Michael, is fantastic. He was very communicative and even offered to grab packages while we were out of town. He sent photos from all visits and was diligent about cleaning the cat boys box and ensuring that they were fed separately due to dietary requirements. We will absolutely be working with him again A+. Thank you for an awesome experience!”
“Kaitlin is a life saver for our sensitive yet energetic girl, taking extra care to make her feel safe and loved. Kaitlin is one of the few people we trust to care for Pearl. Thank you Kaitlin!”
“Jackie was awesome! One of our pups has a bit of stranger danger but did great with her and even snuggled with her! She followed my instructions to the letter and sent lots of pictures. This was my first experience and I was very nervous, but she stayed in great communication. Absolutely recommend Jackie!”
“Brianna has been doing drop in/walk visits with Parker. She’s fantastic with him, so clearly a dog lover!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him, and I would highly recommend her!!”
About: Currently, I don’t have pets. But I watch my grand pup, Seina on a regular basis. She is a 3 yr old Parson Russel Terrier. I work in the mornings from 7am - 12pm. I’m usually home the remainder of the day. When I’m not home I have doggie cameras set up so I can check in on your dog. I live in a townhome. So I will take your dog for plenty of walks. They will receive lots of cuddles, love and special attention.
“Thank you Samantha for taking care of Molly once again. Molly enjoyed your company and we appreciate you taking care of her. We look forward to booking with you again in the future.”
“Tiffany and her daughter came into our home to watch Alex. They both did a wonderful job with Alex. He can be quite the challenge at times due to his anxiety issues. She kept us well informed and we also received pictures. Any questions that we had regarding Alex's well-being, she answered promptly. I would absolutely not hesitate to have Tiffany and her daughter to come back in our home to watch Alex in the future.”
About: Hi! Im Kerri! I grew up on a farm and we had cats, dogs, and bunny rabbits. I have always love animals and have a LOT of experience caring for them. I will love and care for your dog just as you would so you can enjoy your time away without any worry. I have experience with older animals, I know animal CPR, I can administer medication or ear drops and anything else your dog may need. I will send you updates and send pictures while you are gone so you can see the fun they are having! I have 3 kids at home who are great with animals so your dog will get lots of cuddles and play time. I would love to care for your pet while you are away :) My husband and I alternate days working at home so someone will always be home to take care of your pet. I will follow the schedule that your dog is accustomed to so that they can feel comfortable in their new home away from home while you are away. I treat each dog like family and let them pick where they are comfortable sleeping and relaxing unless otherwise specified by you. We are in a convenient location just a mile off of highway 35 which make drop of and pick up easy. I will take your dog for a couple walks a day on leashes and they will be secure in the house unless taken outside on a leash. I will abide by your instruction left for your dog. Please let me know if you have any special request and I will make that happen!
About: I pour my heart into taking care of animals. I lead with my heart as it is full of care and empathy and that is exactly what animals need. I am available any time right now during the day and am available to board your animals overnight. Available any time during the weekends as well. Wonderful walking paths for excersice, safe house, available to crate, minimal objects in home to keep environment safe for pets. Three level home with a small yard and tons of walking paths and opportunities in the neighborhood.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a 9 year old dog, a 13 year old cat, and about 30 chickens! I have had most types of caged animals, including birds as well. Right now I am offering care for cats and chickens. I work from home so have flexibility to come and go as needed. I am also home to provide care for you dog with multiple potty breaks and walks each day! I can provide drop-in visits for cats or chickens checking food/water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving snuggles. For chickens, I can check to make sure they are secure in the evenings. We live on a hobby farm and have 20 acres to roam. Our dog loves running though our walking path in our prairie. We do not have a fenced yard.
About: I've loved dogs and cats since I was nine, when I got (or made my parents get) my first doggo (Nahla). Later on, I snuck a kitten from my aunts hobby farm into our car, and he’s stayed with us ever since (Vinnie). Nahla and Vinnie are such love bugs, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds (yes, I even have four pet spiders). While I’m new to dog walking/pet sitting as a formal side-job, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog/cat and those of my extended family. I’m reliable, respectful, and attentive to each animals unique needs and routine, whether that means a calm stroll, pets, or an energetic adventure. I understand that your dog/cat is part of your family, and I treat every walk (drop-in) with that level of care. I’m happy to provide updates, follow instructions closely, and make sure your dog/cat feels safe, loved, and happy every step of the way. I'm currently a PhD student, but during the summer, all of my work is research-based and done remotely. That means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet care fits in naturally -- I love taking breaks from the computer to get outside, stretch my legs, and spend time with my dog (her name is Nahla). Walks and check-ins are easy to plan around my research, and I enjoy the balance it brings to my day. I follow any routines or instructions closely -- whether that means feeding schedules, medications, crate time, or favorite walking routes. I always make sure pets have fresh water, get the exercise and attention they need, and feel relaxed while their people are away. In someone else’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to leave everything just as I found it. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both pets and their humans
About: I specialize in teeth brushing. Happy teeth, happy fur babies. I also love going on walks, and I'm in the process of setting up a agility course. I currently work M - Thursday, with that in mind you could head out early for a nice long weekend, knowing your fur baby will be well taken care of. I have a large back yard, lots of woods, private area. Fur babies welcomed inside and out. If special needs are in order just ask, we want to make sure you are relaxed, and the same with your pet.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and many breeds. I have a deep understanding of dog behavior and language. I love to walk and care for dogs; it’s my passion. I studied how to raise our puppy Bear, and I feel confident in my caregiving abilities throughout a dog’s lifespan. I developed the Animal-Assisted Therapy program at Gillette Children’s Hospital as dogs are invaluable to humans and the healing process. I work full time Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm but I have every other weekend completely free, and Mondays and Tuesdays I am available from 4pm on in the evenings. I can dog sit overnight from a Friday evening to a Wednesday morning every other week. When I care for others’ dogs, I treat them like my own, like a family member. I know how to create a safe and loving environment and I love being a caregiver. I ensure all of their needs are met; physical, emotional, and mental. Basic needs are a must but making sure they are stimulated with exercise and activities is a huge priority for me.
“Gabriella is great! We’ve been using her services for awhile & my pups love her! Trustworthy & always sends the cutest updates/pics of the pups so I know they’re well taken care of while I’m away!”
