“My cat situation is a little complex, but Briana took care of everything and expressed concern about the cats who hid from her. On top of things and great communication! Thank you!”
“This weekend was the first time we've used a pet sitter for our Stella. Jessica did a fantastic job of caring for her. Jessica even made herself available at the last minute for extended hours during stormy weather. When we returned home from our trip, Stella was much more relaxed than when she was boarded. We will definitely ask Jessica to care for our Stella again.”
“Christina is amazing! She was so hopefully with our animals. Highly recommend her!”
“My husband and I felt very comfortable with Madison. We have an old dog and a young dog. Difference of night an day. We knew the transition maybe interesting the first day. But both dogs seem to enjoy their time! The safety and their comfortability, is our main concern. Maddy did great! Sent some picks, gave them the respect they needed, even with their differences. Observing our cameras, what we saw and heard, she treated them kindly! Which is always important. We appreciate she lives close too, which is not controlled. But it helps knowing if something happened she can be there quickly. We are talking of utilizing her some more down the road too!”
“Kameron has been a God send! I will continue to use her to help me with my Frenchie. She's personable, communicative and my dog LOVES her. Highly recommend Kameron!”
“Jessie was awesome! Since she has personal experience with reactive dogs, we immediately felt comfortable with her caring for our two pit mixes. Her report cards were detailed and included adorable pictures. She also took time to play with our dogs and let them out to potty multiple times during each drop-in visit.”
“Cheyenne was great with our Chloe! Loved the daily check in cards and pics! Cheyenne clearly understands kitties and their unique personalities. I would definitely rebook with her!”
“Natalia is the best sitter ever! She is sweet, friendly, and always on time. She really takes time to play with and love on your dog! She has been an absolute lifesaver caring for my brother's dog while he is in the hospital! She is gold and we are so lucky to have found her!”

About: I have two dogs and one cat! I’ve pet sit before for many people; puppies and seniors. I’m here to make your pet happy and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working full time 6am-2pm so I am able to check on your dog or cat anytime after 2! I am available any day of the week within that time frame. I’ll walk your dog for however long you need, give them plenty of playtime and make sure they’re fed and loved! If they need daily medication I can administer that to them as well.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my babies. They were happy when we got home. The fact that Nina ate with you is amazing! She is so anxious that she doesn’t eat with anyone.”
About: With 7 years of experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, I understand their unique needs and provide loving, attentive care. From frequent potty breaks to scheduled medication and everything else in between, I’m here to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I did discover that I have an allergy towards dogs that shed heavily, so boarding is limited to low- & non-shedding dogs. I work full-time but I make sure to come home every day around lunchtime for midday feeding and potty breaks. I’m home right after work and usually spend weekends at home — unless I’m traveling with my furry friends 🤭 I have a gated yard and two fur babies to keep your family member engaged and safe. I do not crate dogs during the day, unless they are actively working on crate training but I do crate at night for safety purposes. Please be sure to bring your dog’s crate as most feel more comfortable in their own. While I do have crates available, I also prioritize your pet’s comfort. To ensure the health and safety of all dogs in my care, I require that all boarding dogs be up to date on vaccines and flea treatments, with vet records to corroborate this. This requirement helps keep everyone safe and ensures your dog returns home as healthy as they arrived.

Beginning June 1st, I will be available full time for dog walking, dog sitting, and drop-in visits. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent by following instructions left for feeding times, daily walks, and any special needs your dog requires. I treat your pet like my own, with lots of love and attention. I can provide updates through messages and photos, so you know your furry friend is in good hands!
About: I have cared for my family and friend's dogs for many years in a variety of situations.

“Skylar is amazing! We have used her for our doggy walker and sitter a few times because we trusted her ways with our pups. Our first time having our crew in someone’s hands was nerve wrecking. Skylar was so welcoming and took great care of our fur babies. It was so nice to have updates and pictures of them while we were out of town. It made our heart so happy that on the second visit, our crew ran right up to the door as soon as she walked in. I highly recommend Skylar for all the animal needs. Skylar is attentive and her love for all of the dogs we have.”
