“Loyd has continued to watch our dogs for almost a year now. We are always happy with the state of our home and the pups when we get back from our trips.”
“Jaelyn was fantastic! Perry was comfortable with her right away which put us all at ease to leave him with her. Perry is an older guy with health issues and she took perfect care of him while we needed to be away. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others. Thank you, Jaelyn!”
“Meg was great! The whole furry crew clearly loved her as evidenced by their moping around as she was heading out. Took wonderful care of the house as well - we would absolutely recommend her!”
“Traveled out of state for Christmas and had the best gift from Izabelle! She stayed over in our home caring for our little Milo, who can be a little much and who needs someone with a lot of patience and understanding. Izabelle did just that and more, during the busiest time of year! Izabelle was a great house guest and dog sitter and would very much so, recommend her to care for your 🐾 loved ones!”
“Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!”
“I had a long trip out of state over the holidays planned, and I was worried about leaving my fur babies for so long. But I was really grateful to have had someone there with the animals who was clearly so caring and attentive. Her communication was great, very friendly, and the animals clearly loved her! Got regular pictures so I knew they were in good shape and happy. Thank you thank you thank you!”

“Scott is an absolute gem! He was incredibly understanding when I had to cancel a trip last minute due to family illness and was flexible and easy going when it came to rescheduling. He cares for your pup just as if he’s his own and keeps constant communication with updates and videos. My dog can be high maintenance between medical and dietary needs and Scott adapted with ease. I swear him and Dune made my pup feel a bit younger! Will definitely use these guys again as I know that my dog will be in absolutely wonderful and loving hands.”

“Anni was a great dog/house sitter. She communicated with me regularly about the dogs, sent photo updates and made sure our place was taken care of. I’d definitely recommend Anni & hope to use her again on our next trip.”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have 3 pups of my own and a variety of exotic animals. I have worked as a dog trainer and volunteer at the vet and rescues. I am very active so long walks are my favorite and I have a soft spot for old animals. I communicate very well. The standards I have for the care of my pets is exceptionally high and I provide that same experience for every pet I take care. I currently work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available to do check ins or walks multiple times a day, if needed, and also have weekend availability. I am a big fan of communication(and photos!) but am trustworthy and reliable enough that you can also be out of service and rely on me to take care of things.
About: I bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction, ensuring your dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime. My experience in keeping dogs active and entertained guarantees a fun and fulfilling stay for your furry friend! I’m currently working part time so have a very flexible schedule to give lots of love and attention to your dogs! I’m free most times during the week, and can be available on the weekend! I have house sat before and know how to be respectful of someone’s home while providing excellent care for your dogs! Keeping them in their home environment and making them as happy as possible!
About: I've always been surrounded with animals. Strays seem to gravitate towards me. I'd love to work professionally with dogs some day, for now I'm certified through YouTube University. I am medically trained with crossover training for dogs&cats. I work a few hours, some mornings, otherwise I'm free to wonder around with the dogs My work schedule varies week to week but on average I work 4 hour shifts 2 - 7 days a week. Plenty of extra time. I have one dog that lives in my home, all dogs can remain separated if needed. My work allows for a flexible schedule so I can go on multiple dog walks a day usually.
About: Growing up we had 3 dogs, chickens, cats and goats. I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Dogs are the best and help me get outside, I love to run and go on long hikes, and would love to be able to take care of your pup while you are away. I work during the week tue-Thur & have weekends free so I have time to give the pups walks morning and night and weekends are free for big adventures. As a house sitter I plan to care for peoples space & their animals. Making sure the dogs are fed, exercised and getting lots of affection

ALYSSA was so great. We appreciate her love for animals and her warm spirit. We were camping with our travel trailer in Flagstaff for a concert. She stayed at our trailer with our 2 dogs while we were gone. It poured rain and only she would have enjoyed it. Thanks Alyssa so much.
