This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we were a bit nervous considering it’s 6 barking Schnauzers- but Kamy exceeded our expectations! From the start, she was very presentable and professional, super friendly, and very attentive to all our pups needs. We received regular updates, pictures, and messages- which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to our pups very happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She was very trustworthy, responsive, and caring. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and we WILL be using her services again.

Trisha was kind, communicative, and the pups loved her! She was easy to trust and seemed to truly care about our fur babes. We absolutely recommend her. Thank you for taking care of the home and being such a wonderful dog sitter, Trisha.

Brooke is amazing! She is so sweet, and took amazing care of our home and our pets. Our dog, Peaches, adores her and it was obvious that she loved Peaches and spent a great deal of time with her while we were gone. She left the house clean and kept us updated throughout our weekend away. We have a trip planned next year, and we've already asked her to see if her schedule is open to sit for us again. If you're looking for someone to trust to stay with your pets while you're away, Brooke is awesome. I'm grateful to have found her.

Kisten is very informative and understanding! She sent me pictures of the dogs and let me know how they were doing. For such a last minute booking, she made me feel like I was leaving my dogs with someone who is safe and secure. Thank you kindly- I would definitely recommend and rebook!

About: I have professional animal care and veterinary clinic experience, which allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages and needs. I’m experienced with senior pets, medication administration, anxious animals, kittens, puppies, cats. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always treat pets like family. I’m currently working full-time at a vet clinic, but I have plenty of room to work with. I am trying to lift up my pet sitting business around this area and soon hopefully I will have enough clients so that I can study while I am in vet school. If you message me about pricing and scheduling and letting me know what exactly you need, I will make sure to make it work. I treat the animals that come into my home like my pets, and I treat the animals. I take care and owners home like it is mine, so you can be reassured that everything will be taken care of and you can be at ease when you do boarding in your own home with me. I also include cleaning an errands.

Rebecca made Axel feel right at home and she took great care of him! Axel was shy at first but warmed up quickly and did not want to leave when it was time to pick him up. She provided regular updates and pictures on how Axel was doing. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off times. I would 100% recommend Rebecca and will with rebook her in the future.

Haley was absolutely amazing! She's helped me twice already with my girls. She is so sweet and kind to them, this has been the first time my pup didn't break out in anxiety hives when I've had to leave her. That's how amazing Haley is. She went above and beyond and I felt at ease having her help.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals all my life. I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, cows, chickens, hamsters, and fish throughout my life. I love all types of animals, but especially dogs. I completed an animal behavior course that focuses on dogs to better understand and interact with dogs. Also, I have completed training with all of my dogs, but most recently my Portuguese Water Dog. My neighbors and friends rely on me to watch and walk their dogs frequently. I am currently working part time so I am able to look after and walk pups in the evenings and mornings, as well as nights. I am also flexible so just let me know a time and I’ll let you know if I can do the job! I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup at home. I can also travel to meet your pup and dog sit at your home. I am comfortable spending the night with your dog if that’s what you want, as well as just dropping in for walks and feedings.

Marianne is the best! She watched our two dogs while we were at the beach and we never had to worry about them. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated each day. One of our dogs is very old and the other has to take medicine daily which she handled with ease. We will be using her for our pet sitting needs from now on!

Danielle was fantastic and I’m so glad we found her! We have 3 dogs and they’re a bit of a crazy bunch, and we had to go out of town for a wedding for 3 days. I had never left them before but Danielle took amazing care of them. She handled our huge mastiff with ease, as well as our two smaller dogs. Would totally recommend and we hope to use her again in the future!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have never met one I did not adore. Many friends choose me to care for their loved ones when they are away. My schedule revolves around maintaining activity levels and better functional training for my pets and yours. Health and happiness make for longer life spans for our babies. I am a registered nurse with previous law enforcement experience, safety is something I am very big on and integrity is something I was raised on.

About: I’ve been asked to pet sit for a variety of pets over the years. Anywhere from cats and dogs to bearded dragons and horses! I’m a quick learner and can adapt just as fast to match whatever needs are required. I also own a mixed dog and an orange tabby cat myself. I am a newly wed who recently moved into town and am still getting settled. Until I get connected with my work, I have a TON of free time! I’d love to get to be surrounded by fur babies as much as possible! I love to let the critters set the pace when getting to know me. I believe there needs to be an established bond of trust before anything else. And I LOVE to love on them once they let me! I can never get enough pets and snuggles! I want them to feel as though I’m a friend and family member rather than a stranger. And the same goes for their human parents too! I love to connect with my clientele and keep them updated as much as possible to ensure they feel confident that their babies are taken care of :)

About: I have worked with dogs and cats for 15 years with a mixture of professional (pet resort, vet, and foster volunteer for rescue organizations) as well as personal (pet owner). I promote safety and the well-being of pets first and foremost and can accommodate any of your loved ones' needs. I am trained as a vet tech and newly RN graduate, almost any medical condition I feel confident I can address and provide care for. I am a firm believer that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals and i have always treated mine as not just a pet, but a family member. About this sitter: I wanted to add this service for those parents concerned with the anxiety that comes along with being left. I firmly believe that sticking to your pet's routine and environment helps decrease any unneeded stress. I am well trained in animal behavior (I have worked at a veterinary clinic/hospital for 3+ years) and medical aid should anything arise or your pet has medical needs. Any questions? Please ask! If my availability does not work for you, please let me know and we might be able to make things work depending on the details. I currently work SUPER part-time, meaning only 4.5 hours a day, 2-3 times a week. No earlier than 0845 and no later than 6 pm. I have a rhodesian ridgeback of mine own who is very comfortable around any dog breed or age as she has been to dog parks and around other dogs all her life. She is 10 yo and very mellow but also gets spurts of energy where she will engage in play. I think her mellow demenor allows other pets to feel comfortable. I have two enclosed dog play areas outdoors as well. In a client's home, I can set up a pet camera that a client can access (this will need to be done prior to the client leaving and will be taken once the care is over) and will honor your schedule and instructions. In addition, I will send you all the pictures or videos that you would like!
