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!

About: While I don't have a dog of my own, I love to help out! I take care of my friend's dog when they're out of town. I provide food, water, playtime, and approved treats. I'm currently working part-time, and I have plenty of time to care for your pet. At the moment, I am unavailable on Mondays. I am pretty flexible the rest of the week. My drop-in visits can be short and sweet, or I can take a little longer to provide some extra loving. I will ensure your pet has everything they need, and I'll keep your home tidy.

Lydia was absolutely amazing with my dog! Always on time, provided detailed notes on how each visit went, and sent the cutest pictures of my girl every time she was there! 100% will be asking her to take care of Mila again and would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She also took great care of my horse while I was gone - I'm so glad I was able to find one person who could take care of both my animals!

About: I have had my own dogs and of course taken them on walks. Not only that but I have also looked after some of our friends and family’s pets. I do work on weekdays, but I would love to walk your pet after work in the afternoon when I get back home. On the weekends I am available to walk your pet in the mornings as well. I understand the unique needs of each pet and ensure they get the care and attention they deserve. Treating them as if they were my own, I will make sure they are happy and comfortable.

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.

About: I have always been a big animal lover, and love seeing the different personalities each animal has. My friends call me the dog whisperer 😄 Even with shy/skiddish dogs I have trained my dog the standard commands along with shake, high five, turn, and speak I do work a full time job Monday-Friday until 4:30. I am free on the weekends for boarding, or also on the weekdays if you pet is kennel trained If looking for dog walking, please let me know if your pet does not do well with other animals so I can make arrangements to leave my dog at home, or if I need to not walk multiple animals at once I live in a home on 3 acres, so there is plenty of room to play fetch, frisbee, etc. I also have a doggy door that leads to the fenced in backyard yard. For dogs that aren’t used to a doggy door I still keep an eye out on them for when they might need to go out, and most of the time they learn how to use the doggy door pretty quickly. So any pets that love to hang out outside, have access to sun bathe if they’d like 😊 Just leave me with a feeding schedule, or any other specific instructions and I will love and take care of your fur baby like they were my own 🩷
