“I would like to introduce you to my new found dogsitter. AUGUST A.K.A AUGGIE AND AIDEN. the A team, while you're away. The photos with My very well taken care of Shepsky definitely eased my time away from her.”


“Alo was amazing! She was incredibly attentive to our pups and kitty, treating them like they were her own. We loved receiving regular photo updates that showed how happy and well-cared-for they were. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”


“Kelli was fantastic. We needed to find someone quickly and Kelli responded. We are so happy that she did. She took excellent care of our little man and provided regular updates. She obviously loves dogs and was such a professional. We will definitely use her again.”


“First time using Rover so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Rayven went above and beyond. I came home from vacation to a house cleaner than I left it, dogs got more attention than I give them. Just the right amount of communication and very professional. Will be my go to from now on!”


“Kylie is amazing. Our cats are very stand off. She had them sitting on her in the first hour. Very prompt and responsible. We have 5 Mainecoons, one of which needed medicine daily that he’s a bit resistant to, but she was successful. We’ll definitely have her again !”


“Robyn stayed with our 2 pups for a week while we were away. What a gem we have found. I have never left them with anyone but family for overnights and we cannot be more pleased with Robyn. I was very confident that Robyn would be a great choice before we left. On our meet and greet she took many notes and asked alot of questions. That showed me that she truly cared about her job looking after my pups. I had not 1 worry during our vacation. I was able to fully enjoy my time away. Robyn is FANTASTIC at communicating and providing updates. She followed all directions for my particular pups perfectly. Our 1 dog is a bit grumpy at times and he warmed up to her so quickly. Both pups love lap time and they had alot of attention from Robyn. I'm sure they were sad to see us come home and back to our daily life. I cannot say enough good things about Robyn. We are so grateful to have found someone we can leave our pets with and not have a worry while away.”


“I can't say enough good things about Payton! She watched over my dog at my place while I was away, and truly went above and beyond. From regular updates to keeping everything neat and in order, she made the entire experience completely stress free for me. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy when I returned, which speaks volumes about how attentive and loving she is. I would absolutely recommend Payton to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I can’t wait to book with her again. Thank you, Payton!”


“Jada was amazing with our three fur babies while staying in our home. This was the first time in a long time that we trusted someone outside of family or friends, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She was fantastic with our dogs, kept us updated with texts, and was always responsive to our messages. When we returned home, our dogs were happy, and their routines remained unchanged. We will definitely be using her services again!”

I have experience in administering medicines to animals as well I am a firefighter and am blessed to have lots of off-time and want to use that time to help the people and animals in my community! My department works on a 48/96 schedule so I work at the fire house for 48hrs and then I get a nice 4-day weekend every week! If possible I like to go over the pet care plan the owner has for their friend to ensure there are no misinterpretations if there is any kind of special care needed. Also, if possible, meeting the friend prior to is a great way to ease their anxiety of a new person suddenly entering their home and walking them, touching their toys, or giving them medicine

I have a fenced in back yard and can offer crates as well. I will treat your pet like they were my own with lots of love and spoiling. I allow pets on furniture and love snuggles, but if that is not your jam, I can respect your rules that you enforce in your own home with your pets as well!

“Jared has been an absolute wonderful pet sitter for both myself and my grandmother. I personally have four cats, which can be a lot for some people, but Jared was quick to earn their trust. He gave each one the attention they needed along with ensuring that they received their individual meals and litter cleanings. Jared also does great with dogs. My grandmother has an elderly dog that needs to be let outside often. He has never hesitated to stop by to let the dog out and make sure she has done her business prior to being let in.

“I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough as a pet caregiver. Her dedication, responsibility, and genuine love for animals is evident in everything she does. From the moment she met my fur baby babies, she was calm, confident, and deeply attentive — treating them with the same level of care and compassion she would give to her own. Ashley is not only punctual and dependable but also incredibly observant and proactive. She kept me updated with notes, photos, and thoughtful check-ins, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Whether it was managing medications, maintaining feeding routines, or just giving extra cuddles and enrichment, she went above and beyond every step of the way. It’s rare to find someone who combines both professional-level care and heartfelt devotion. If you’re looking for someone who will love and protect your pet like family, Ashley is that person!”
