“We felt our baby was very happy and taken care of during our vacation. We had daily conversations with pictures to make us feel comfortable knowing that he was in good hands.”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our 3 dogs and 3 cats while we were gone for the week. Jennifer sent daily updates and pictures and was immediately responsive to our texts. We returned to a happy crew and clean house. She even checked in a few days later to see how the animals were adjusting. We will use her again and you should too!!!”
About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!
“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”
“Hailey is the calm to my chaotic storm (4.5 year old boy, 11 year old cat, 8 week old dog). This day she came to help with my pup on my wildest morning yet. She was kind, calm, and non-judgmental. She made me instantly feel better and at ease when she showed up. Cannot say enough great things about Hailey!!”
“Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.”
About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.
“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”
About: Though I don’t have as many years of experience, I’m committed to caring for all fur babies as my own! I have previously cared for new born pups and senior dogs, and I love the joys and challenges each age range brings. Some specific things I’ve helped with are support with potty training, and administering medicine. I am currently working part time, and i’m also a part time student, so most of my availability will be for the weekends! But I will have some midweek availability in the mornings and evenings! I’m a very quick learner and will always do my very best to accommodate even the most specific needs for your pets. I’m very patient, and will strive to make your pets feel as safe and loved as possible! I am a great communicator and can provide updates/pictures as frequently as you require.
“Alexandra was excellent! She followed my instructions and took very good care of Paula. I trust her completely. She also left my house in great condition which I have issues with in the past. I can’t wait to use her services again.”
“Carol cared for our 8year old Golden Retriever and Snowflake, our shelter adopted kitty for eight days. She was wonderful and my pets were so well cared for in our absence. Our home was well cared for also and she kept my flowers watered and newspapers saved. We will definitely call on Carol for our next vacation. Eileen”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs.

“Kimberly went over and above in every way possible on her sit for my pack today. She made a difficult appointment I had today so easy and her kindness touched my heart deeply. I will definitely request Kimberly to sit again”
About: I’ve been an animal lover all of my life! I move frequently so I can’t have a pet just yet. This makes it easier because I still get to spend time with animals! I live with my girlfriend so we can both help take care of your animal! This allows us to work together to make sure your pets needs are met! We will be very present so we will always have an eye on your pet! We will send quick updates to help owners stay connected and reassured. We are outdoor enthusiasts so your pets will get their daily exercise everyday!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and horses almost my entire life! I have experience with dogs who struggle with dog aggression, leash problems, diabetes etc. I am very patient and understanding and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am self employed so I am able to move my schedule around as needed to accommodate your pet and their personalized schedule. I don’t mind early morning walks as I am up with the sun normally! I am flexible to work with your dog’s current life style, needs, or whatever they may require. I have my own Australian cattle dog who is extremely friendly and willing to accompany your dog if needed or allowed!

Hannah W.
“Hannah is one of the most trustworthy and capable people I’ve ever had care for my animals. She’s watched our dogs overnight many times and always goes above and beyond. She’s also experienced with horses, ducks, and chickens—it's such a relief knowing she understands farm animals too. Hannah is smart, kind, and incredibly patient. You can tell she truly loves animals, and they love her right back. I always feel completely at ease when she’s caring for our crew.”
