3. Brook C.
“Brook is amazing! She provided exceptional care, love, and attention to our dog. We returned to a happy, healthy pet. Highly recommended for dog sitting!”
4. Bethany M.
“Bethany is an absolute wonder with animals. I have two dogs, two cats, a snake and fish. She has demonstrated her knowledge, patience and love of animals in helping take care of my extended family members. She has been able to help me administer medications, groom, trim nails and among much more. One of my pups struggle with skin irritation and she's repeatedly helped me with her knowledge and experience in handling similar ailments. Though she has stated she doesn't have much familiarity with snakes, she was willing to help me care for mine by feeding her and maintaining her enclosure. The fact that she was willing to work with mine and my animals needs says so much about her. You can see her enthusiasm and love of animals in the way she interacts with them.”

6. Rebecca P.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child, I have always had a dog of my own as well as cared for cats and hamsters. I grew up with a mother that ran an animal sanctuary so I have seen and cared for them all! I love to stay active and would love to add a fur friend to that activity either on a walk or run! I work full time however I am home daily after 330pm and on weekends. I am available to have your fur baby stay in my home with a potty break mid day and lots of love after work or for a drop in and walk at your home. I have 2 dogs of my own, one is 5 years old and the other is 1 year old. Both boys are very friendly and love having other dogs to play with. I keep a gate on hand to separate them from our guest if need be because sometimes they just can’t stop playing and our guest need a break to relax.

“Melissa is a lover of all animals. She is a very responsible caregiver that has cared for my pets when I was out of town. Your pooch will be in good hands with her.”
8. Sydney & Kaleb B.
About: Need a sitter for your fur baby? Family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on us to take care of their dogs while they are gone, from drop-in visits to short day trips to multiple week long trips. Having 2 loving pups of our own, we understand that pets are family members and are very familiar with separation anxiety. We will treat your loved one to all the play and attention that they need so that you can be worry free! My husband is active duty military while I am fortunate to have a very flexible work from home schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Your furry companions will have my undivided attention, love, and care, ensuring they receive the best possible care throughout the day until you see them again. You can count on me to keep you updated about your fur baby and meet their needs. I am passionate about caring for animals. When caring for pets in a new environment or with an unfamiliar caregiver, I find patience and consistency alongside lots of attention and love are most important. Our home is very welcoming to dogs as we have a half acre fenced in on our property. I can provide plenty of exercise for your pet as needed. I’m also happy to keep their schedule in the comfort of their own home.
9. Lillian B.
About: I’ve been an avid animal lover from a very young age and have worked with many different types and life stages. My most extensive experience is with horses, but I have also managed flocks of chickens, rehabilitated sick cats, trained dogs, have been responsible for the care of sheep. I was that girl in high school that everyone brought their sick pets to. Nowadays I’m the one people ask for advice concerning everything from behavioral to health problems. As my husband and I are starting our personal farm I am opening up my pet sitting to a more people. I’m currently managing my personal farm and have a seasonal part time job that takes me away Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. Other than that, I am typically at home. I have a 18 acre farm for dogs with a good recall to play on. These dogs can spend most of their day joining me and my own pets in caring for the farm. For dogs without a good recall, I do have a smaller horse paddock that I can let them play in. The fence will hold most dogs of every shape and size. Interaction between residents of the paddock and your pets will only be allowed at my discretion. The residents are dog-friendly and will be moved to another area for your pup’s playtime. I also have access to 25 acre of woods with trails to take dogs on more extensive walks. My personal farm consists of chickens, quail, sheep, a pony, a cow, two large dogs and pigs. I personally feel that a happy pet is one that has a job. In coming to my farm your pets will be treated like my pets. I am not prone to spoiling but I do like to reward jobs well done. There are a few rules but they are easy to learn. Most visiting pets are pros within 15 minutes. I have several toys and puzzles to entertain pups that are more indoor oriented.
10. Linda U.
“My very protective Mini Aussie warmed up to her in no time!”
11. Kellee B.
“When I say there is no one better to trust with your dogs, I don’t make that statement lightly. Kellee is friendly, attentive and treats your dogs as if they are her own. My dog doesn’t trust new people easily. As soon as she met Kellee she curled up next to her with her head in Kellee’s lap. If you want to be able to travel with piece of mind then Kellee is the perfect choice.”
12. Kayce M.
“Kayce is wonderful with Rio and I can tell he looks forward to seeing her. She keeps me posted of his activities and is on top of all his well being. Thank you always!”
13. Kelly S.
“I think this is the third time Kelly has walked Molly, and every time it’s on last minute requests! She’s great and molly is always a happy pup when I get home.”
14. Hannah R.
“I have known Hannah for years and she has always been so loving to animals! She has cared for me and my husband's dog on many occasions. She is always punctual and keeps us updated when asked. Hannah is sweet and friendly and LOVES animals. She treats our dogs like they're her own!”
15. Jessica W.
“Jessica was very accommodating. She was willing to come early, to get my pups out for their morning walk when I was out of town. She was great at communicating and giving updates and pictures. Highly recommend her services. She has alot of experience and I will definitely use her again.”
16. Melissa C.
“I’ve have worked with Melissa for quite a few years. She is an amazing and compassionate person. She loves animals dearly and is very trustworthy. Always has a positive attitude!!”
17. Samuel J.
About: I have owned, trained and taken care of a huge variety of breeds, temperaments and sizes. My current dog is a 120lb Shiloh Shepherd. My last was a 7lb Rat Terrier, Chihuahua mix! I'm currently in school online and self employed, so I can modify my schedule to fit your needs! From early mornings, to late in the evening, I have you covered! Pets are part of your family and as such, will be treated with the utmost care, respect and diligence. It is a big leap to trust a stranger with a family member, and I strive to provide the best care for you pet!

20. Colton W.
About: I have owned several dogs throughout my life. Small to big dogs as well as cats. I now own a German shepherd who just turned one in December and have trained her from a puppy. I have a big back yard and love animals. I have experience walking dogs of many sorts and have baby sat for several people before with dogs of all sizes. I have water dishes and food dishes for dogs and leashes and live in a neighborhood thats friendly and not too busy so it would be perfect for animals to walk in. I am currently working part at home and have plenty of time to take care of animals by boarding them or come to you anytime. I have a big yard for the dogs to run around in. I also have two fur babies to keep other animals occupied and to play around with.
