“Absolutely grateful for the compassionate care Taylor provided during my dog's post-surgery recovery. They showed genuine concern and attention to detail, ensuring my dog’s comfort and well-being at every step. Not to mention my peace of mind having to leave town mid recovery. Their professionalism and reliability were exceptional, making a stressful time much easier for me!! She even made sure to check in before Fourth of July for any special needs related to firework anxiety for my dog or cats. Highly recommend their services for anyone needing dedicated pet care.”


“Julie was attentive with our doodles & gave updates on them during her stay at our home & administered meds as directed. Prior to booking, she told us she would be with our dogs all day Saturday & not take any other bookings while dog sitting for us, however she did leave our dogs on Saturday to care for another dog in another town. We were not informed until after the fact.”


“Sierra was amazing! She frequently sent me updates on the dogs & they loved all their playtime. The house was in perfect shape when I got home which was a huge relief after a weekend of traveling. I will absolutely have Sierra stay with the dogs again! She’s the best!!”


“Lainey recently stayed in our home with our dog for over 10 days. She was the perfect pet and home sitter. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the future! She sent us daily pictures and videos and we were always at ease that our little girl was being well taken care of. Our home was left in perfect condition and maybe even cleaner than when we left it! Thank-you Lainey for being such a caring person!”


About: I have had pets in my household since I was 5 years old. I have had pets off and on in my adult life as well. I love animals more than some people LOL! I have recently bought some books on pet care to expand my understanding and bring you a better service. I hope this gives you peace of mind in knowing your fur baby is with a good human. I am currently a student at GCCC with a flexible part-time job. So, outside of class and the occasional social event my schedule is pretty open. I can give your fur baby as much or as little attention as they need. All pets have their unique personalities and needs. I want to cater to what they are comfortable with.

“Tyler was so wonderful. She Spent a few days in my house with my fur children and I couldnt be happier! I came home to a pristine house and happy animals. Can't wait to use her again.”


“Kiana was phenomenal! Not only was she amazing with my dog, she is also extremely friendly and professional. She watched my dog Peaches for an entire day and truly pampered her. Often when I leave my dog for only an hour she gets very anxious and stressed. However, after getting home from Kiana watching her for the entire day Peaches was relaxed and not visibly anxious or stressed. I cannot recommend Kiana enough!”


About: I have always loved dogs and they will always have a special place in my heart! I have also worked with dogs for 3 years professionally I’m currently enrolled in college so during my downtime on the weekdays I’ll be able to take care of your pups! The weekends are very free for me! I always keep my eyes and ears open when I am around dogs because you never know what they could be getting into or doing

“MaZee has sitted for me several times and this trip I got delayed, cancelled, rebooked, etc and she stayed late and came back the next day to keep taking care of my girls. I would have been in a panic without her!”

“Rebecca is fantastic! She was very conscientious and also sent us pics of our animals and everyone looked so happy! Our home was well taken care of and dogs content! We highly recommend her!”

About: I often take care of neighbors and friend's pets when they leave town. The most I work in a day is 4 hours, which would be the longest I am ever away from your pets. I drive and am extremely flexible, do not vacation much. I am loving, caring, and take great responsibility in my work. I am very prideful in doing a great job in everything I do, and that is what you can expect from me. I love animals, and I will certainly love your animal when we are together. If I let someone digs it my dog, I would expect nothing but the best, nothing but fun, gentleness, kindness, and love. I can be held accountable for all these defining qualities of a petsitter. I am currently working part-time, so I will have more than enough time to spend quality time with your animals! Whether it be early mornings or evenings, I will be sure to give the attention necessary to your animals! I can make great use of both small areas or large areas to get your animal the exercise it needs. I haven taken care of animals in all sorts of areas and am more than willing to take them outside as well.

“Marshall did an excellent job taking care of Kara! Kara got sick; Marshall did everything possible to make Kara feel better while we were away. Every day he provided a detailed message about how the day went along with photos. The communication was excellent! He visited Kara 3 to 4 times a day; he administered her medicine correctly and made sure she ate and drank water. He took her for a walk and kept her safe. I recommend Marshall 100 percent. I will use his service again in the future. Thank you!”
