Heather did a great job giving us updates and keeping all of our animals happy and safe. Even had to deal with a local power outage with no issues. Definitely will book again!

Madeline was absolutely wonderful while house sitting and caring for my cat, Sawyer. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy—checking in often with updates, photos, and thoughtful details. I really appreciated how flexible she was with her own schedule to accommodate Sawyer’s routine and make sure he was never left wanting for attention. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.

Shannon has been with my dogs twice now. First time was as a drop in visit and second time was house sitting for 4 days. She kept me updated throughout the time I was away as well as kept my dogs very happy. They loved being with her and I was pleased with her care for my dogs. Shannon will now be my regular pet sitter as she is available and willing!

Sydney did a great job watching our dogs. It’s probably the best experience I’ve ever had with a dog sitter. She is dependable and reliable. She sends pictures and communicates often. She made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation. 😁

Heather was a delight to meet. She was responsive, sent several pet photos, and left an update note. she took Bijou on a couple of walks and played with the kitties. The house was in good shape and the pets seemed happy when I returned. I would definitely ask Heather to watch my furry kids again.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and also currently live with a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I currently am unemployed and am not yet in school so my schedule is completely open. The only issue that I might have for these next few months would be an issue with scheduling with the rest of my household. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I’ve been 14 years old. I’ve had experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I have a passion for animals and love to make them feel part of my family. I’m currently in respiratory school while working a part-time job, which has helped me develop strong responsibility and time-management skills. I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them whenever I can. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I accept cats and dogs that are able to stay in the comfort of their own homes. I feel like as someone with animals the safest place an animals can feel is when they’re in the comfort of their own homes.

Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!

About: What sets me apart is that I focus on being consistent, attentive, and calm with every pet I care for. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual routine and personality, so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I’m also patient with different needs, whether that’s energetic puppies who need structure and playtime or older pets who may need a slower pace and extra care. I make sure communication with pet owners is clear and reliable so they always know how their pet is doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I’m very organized and consistent with my schedule. I’m comfortable handling feeding, walking, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my weekly routine feels rewarding rather than stressful. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. If the owner has specific instructions, I always follow them carefully to make sure their pet receives the best care possible.

My availability will be everyday from 10am on to10 p.m. and every weekend I am also available, but my hours are more flexible. A family-friendly pet environment.

Hannah was quick to respond and was a life saver for my husband and I. We thought we had someone ready to go and they had to cancel last minute. Hannah came over and learned the nitty gritty of taking care of our very needy German shepherd (poor dog is on a lot of medications). She was sending texts and pictures all day of the animals. She had to stay at our home and she treated our home with respect. Would definitely book her again. Thanks Hannah.

About: I grew up on a farm and have always had pets. Cats, dogs and even a cow and chicken or two. I strongly believe our pets are family members just like our human family. I've had big and little dogs, and many different cats. My current little man is my best buddy he is spoiled and loved so much. He's 7 years old and loves other dogs to hang out with. He doesn't pay any attention to cats. I would love to care for your family member, giving you peace of mind that they will be well cared for and loved on while in my care. My availability is completely open, any day and time. I'm very flexible with dates and times, whether at your home or mine. Thank you for your time and I look forwars to hearing from you! I have a fenced in area for bathroom breaks and a large yard on a quiet country road to run and play in. I have space for a crate, I even have a very large one that can be used if necessary. Also have an almost two mile lane around our farm property to walk and run around. My home has plenty of space for exploring or just chilling out.

Lucilla was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and courteous with us, but more importantly she made our nervous and strong-willed dogs feel at ease. She has a calm confidence that dogs will really align with. We look forward to using her to care for our fur babies in the future and would highly recommend her.
