Kira did an excellent job caring for my kitties! The fact that she was able to send me pics of them was amazing, they are usually very camera (and people) shy! I’ll definitely book with her again 😻

Sarjah was the perfect sitter for me. She was friendly and took great care of my two cats over 5 weeks and even watered my plants even though I had forgot ask her. I highly recommend her and will rebook the next time I have to go on extended business travel. Excellent sitter!

Macy was excellent! I loved that she took pictures of our boys and kept us informed on how they were doing. It was important to us that they got dedicated time spent with them while we were away. I definitely recommend Macy and Vito.

This is Tania’s third time watching our dogs. She has dog sat for my Great Danes twice before, which is amazing in itself, but this time I added my two small dogs and she did great. Tania is super kind and follows direction so well. I will absolutely continue using Tania as my dog sitter! She’s the best.

About: I have been working for a dog daycare and boarding company for a little over two years now! I love dogs and enjoy taking care of them but I need to work closer to home. I have experience bathing, blow drying, and trimming nails. I have worked with a maximum of 50 dogs in my yard over the holidays. While I am currently working in a dog daycare facility in the new year I will be working close to home. I will have open availability except Saturday mornings by January 1st! In my job we make sure every dog is happy, healthy, clean, and well fed. I keep notes on how dogs have been eating, any changes in behavior, and always pet them thoroughly to check for any concerns.

This was my time hiring a pet sitter and I wasn’t totally sure what to expect. I thought it would feel weird to have a stranger at my place, but it really wasn’t. Logan was professional and responsive. She even scooped the litter for us, which was a luxurious surprise. I can tell my cat is a happy guy.

About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.

About: I have a strong passion for caring for all animals! I am a registered nurse so am a natural care taker, but my heart especially goes most to our furry friends! I currently have 4 fur babies (dogs of all sizes/breeds) of my own :) I am comfortable working with all breeds/behaviors! I have a 5 year old female German shepherd who is coming out of her shell more now as she is around our other dogs, but I am very comfortable with nervous/shy behavior! All the "Sheppy" things :) we also have cattle working dogs, 2 border collies, one puppy and an Australian Kelpie so are very used to high drive pups that need lots of walk and exercise! My schedule is very flexible, so it is very easy for me to give frequent potty breaks, walks, and park visits to your fur baby! My own dogs are on a 7:30 am/pm eating schedule, but I can be flexible with the needs of your fur baby! I am very attentive and hands-on, ensuring pets are comfortable, happy and engaged in my home. Play is a big part of making sure pets are having a good experience with me and I will treat your fur baby as my own!

About: I’m a lifelong pet lover, and one of the most important things to me has always been knowing my own pets are safe, loved, and well-cared for while I’m away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life and I’ve gained experience with pet sitting for others as well. I’m responsible, dependable, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. Your pets will be treated like my own every time I’m with them. As a teacher, I have flexible availability during all school holidays and breaks. I am also available on weeknights and weekends for drop-ins and walks. Creating a safe and reliable environment is my top priority. I make sure pets stay on their normal schedules and routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I do not give any additional food or treats unless instructed, and I ensure all walks, feedings, and medications are done accurately and on time. Your pet’s well-being and consistency always come first.
