“We love Molly!! Molly has been sitting for us for almost a year now, and I can’t even express how nice it is to have a consistent sitter who is as awesome as her. Our (sometimes fearful) pup LOVES her, and so does our kitty!”
“Sydney did a fantastic job being with our dog, Della. She shared comments with us while we were gone. This made us feel confident that the care she provided was important to her. We would definitely ask Sydney to care for our dog again! Thank you.”
“Lydia did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 doggos and my cats tonight. When I came back all pets were happy and doggos clearly had had a lot of fun! Thank you so much Lydia and hope to benefit again from your help in the future! Cheers, Melanie”

“Rose is very enthusiastic and interacts wonderfully with our 5 month old puppy! She is very in-tune to our pup’s schedule and does a nice job of interacting with her when she wants to play play play and recognizes when she is ready to nap! Rose is so thoughtful, she saved a tooth that our puppy lost so we could have it as a keepsake! Thank you, Rose!”
“Pam did an excellent job with the dogs while I traveled. They were completely chill when I got home. She sent updates and pictures and did really well considering the inclement weather. My home was well cared for too. Very appreciative of Pam”
“Taylor was so great! I left my boys with her for an 8 night long stay while going to Europe and she made me feel so at ease by sending so many pics and updates of them! Would definitely book her again!”

About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.
“Mara took great care of our three big dogs while we were gone for the weekend. They all seemed happy and followed their normal routines with her while we were away. She sent pictures and let us know how they were doing. We hope to have her back the next time we leave town.”
“Katlin did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our doggy and catties. She was very communicative, took notes during meet and greet, and let us know whenever she needed to step out to know exactly what to expect! And she even took the time to clean the area at the end of the week! Definitely would love to have her watch our pets again.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 10 years old. I’ve had family and friends rely on me to care for their animals. My current work schedule is more flexible, so I would have a wider range of availabilities for pet care activities and daily walks, or drop-ins. Safety would always be a top priority. Whether it’s in my home, or your home, your pet is my focus and their joy is guaranteed.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I don’t remember a time without them. I have worked with a lot of animals that needed medications for healthcare problems. I do currently work a full time job and a volunteer job but I am looking to expand my horizon and spend more time with animals. My pets have a fenced in yard at home, I do also have a barn that I love to take the dogs out to to run at.

Nathan B.
“I have known Nathan for a very long time and I can tell you from first hand experience that he is wonderful with pets of all kinds. Pets are drawn to him because they know he loves them. He has had two German Shephard dogs and they both were loved and cared for their entire lives. He is capable of walking long distances and can easily manage a dog that may not be the best leash walker. His confidence around pets makes them feel at ease and everyone benefits from that environment. If you get a chance to make Nathan a part of your pet's life you will be making a really good decision for you and your pet.”
