“I thought she did an exceptional job with my girls. I was very happy with how she handled them while we were gone. I loved the photos and videos she sent to us. Really made us feel assured. She also left us a journal of each day, was not necessary, but we enjoyed reading it.”


“Paula was absolutely fantastic watching our 5 babies while we were out of town. Not only did she go above and beyond making sure they were taken care of, she took them on extra walks, car rides and so much more. She provided daily updates with pictures, along with answering any text update request we sent. She also made sure our house was taken care of as well.

“Overall good! I would have liked them there a little more but the dogs seemed to like him a lot and it was a crazy weekend with a lot of traffic! Thank you!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds! From golden doodle puppies to Labrador seniors I’ve cared for them! I had a childhood dog that I spent ever day with for 14 years that just recently passed but my mom and I cared for her every day. She had many dietary needs and help as she became older so I’m very familiar with those challenges! I’m also familiar with the challenges with many puppies as I used to puppy sit for an old friend in college who had a sweet baby with MANY needs (as most fur babies do:)). I love to meet new sweet animals every day and can’t wait to hopefully meet yours!!! I’m a recent college graduate currently in the job-search phase, so I’m very free any day of the week for animals! Weekdays are preferred, but weekends are totally doable with enough notice! I currently cannot house animals at my home due to owning a huge German shepherd who isn’t the best with new faces sadly. But, I’m more than available to meet you at your home and care for your pets as needed any time of day!

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of many different animals. I am all about the health and happiness of your fur baby! I'd love to be your next go-to pet sitter! I am a local hairstylist. I make my own hours meaning my schedule is very flexible on weekdays! I am typically in town during the holidays as well! Consistency is very important for pets. I'll work with you to understand your pet's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and special requirements.

“Esther was absolutely amazing and exceeded all expectations. She took great care of our old lady Ziggy. Her communication is fanatic!”

“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”

If you aren't sure of something suggest it and I will tell you more about it. I dont have experience with all breeds of animals so please be patient and if your pets need special care please make a comment of it. Currently going to school part-time so I'm pretty flexible with my schedule as far as what and when I can take care of the littles. I don't offer boarding but when I am taking care of another's pet, I'll ask a series of questions to ensure any and any and all animals in the house will be taken care of properly and to your preferences

“They treat lady like their niece, I get frequent pictures and updates. Lady probably loves them more than she loves me lmao she has so much fun”


About: Dog walking, training, and feeding animals. I’m definitely an animal lover!! I’ve had dogs and cats in my life so I know their needs and wants. If you’re looking for someone to walk, feed and lets your pets have a break during the day, I’m your person! Morning: A walk or playtime, followed by breakfast and a potty break. Midday: A potty break, especially important for puppies, and possibly a walk or play session. Evening: A walk, dinner, and more playtime or training. Bedtime: A final potty break before settling down for the night. I have a golden retriever, his name is Bernie. He is crate and potty trained. He gets bathed and groomed properly. We take daily walks and playtime.

“Excellent sitter & very kind. Went above & beyond for my pup”


“Thank you so much, Kayla! You were there to help us get our precious dog from the vet to the hospital while dealing with my chemo brain. You were there to listen and concerned for our dog. Wish you only the best in life. God bless you.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13, and it’s something I truly love. My family has trusted me over the years to bathe, feed, and sit their pets, and I currently have a friendly cat of my own. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, attention, and lots of care. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I adapt to each pet’s needs and personality to make sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a college student at Western while working one day a week at a gift shop. My schedule is open most days to care for pups and kitties! I live in a house with a fenced yard to play in, including a sweet cat if clients prefer to board in my house. I can also care for pets in the comfort of their home if provided! I am flexible with what situation I’m dealt with. I’m able to send updates, pictures, or calls if they also want to check up on their baby!

About: I will love the dog as my own. I also love going on walks so walking dogs is something I enjoy. I have always loved dogs and hope to have many of my own again when I grow up and have my own house! I have a lot of availabilty after the morning because of school! I have also volunteered at the animal shelter for several years and I only worked with the dogs! Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I always had a dog growing up. There were very few times I did not have a dog. I love every size dog and love to play with them and care to their needs! Thank you for taking the time read this! I work from home so i am able to care and love for your furbaby all day and everyday that they are here. I give my clients my full attention and make sure they are comfortable it can be hard to adjust to a new place. I have a huge fenced in yard that is great for pups to run around! It is clean and well kept. I have a 3 bed 2 bath house and they are allowed to roam freely and go where they please!

About: I've had dogs my entire life and truly love being around them. I've personally owned a wide range of breeds—from large dogs like German Shepherds, Labs, and Irish Setters to smaller companions like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Dachshunds, and Basset Hounds. Each one has had their own personality, and I’ve loved caring for them all! I also grew up on a farm, so I'm no stranger to animals with unique needs or personalities. Whether it's administering medications, following special diets, or just giving extra patience and attention, I’m comfortable and confident caring for pets who need a little extra love. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to play with and attend to your pups throughout the day! Whether it’s frequent potty breaks, cuddle time, play sessions, or just having someone around to keep them company, your dog will get the attention and care they deserve. You can relax knowing they’ll never be left alone for long! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have two of my own friendly dogs who can be great companions for your pup, or I’m equally happy to keep everyone separated if that’s what’s best for your dog’s needs and personality. My dogs spend most of their time outdoors by choice, so there’s plenty of space for everyone. I have a large, covered back patio with fans for shade and comfort, and a pool area for cooling off on hot days (with supervision, of course). The backyard is a fully fenced, secure 3-acre open space—perfect for running, sniffing, and playtime. To ensure safety and reduce stress, I always do feeding times separately for each dog. Whether your dog stays with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I maintain a calm, structured environment with lots of attention and care.

About: I've have been a dog owner almost all of my life. I have taken care of our own family dogs as well as taking care of pets for other family members. Would love to help in taking care of your fur babies while you are away. While I still do work full time, all of my children are grown so can devote the time necessary to taking care of your pets. We do have two dogs and a cat in our house so know how important it is to maintain their routine as much as possible. If overnight care is needed I would stay in your home to keep them in their own environment and also keep them in their own routine.

“Kelly has babysat Buster, our Staffordshire Terrior, several times. Buster absolutely loves to go there. It’s like a vacation for him while we are on vacation. One time she actually gave him a bath.

Jessica M.
“Jessica is great with dogs! She has 2 of her own that love her dearly, plus 2 grand-dogs that love their Nonnie. I trust her to watch my dogs when I go out of town and the dogs love being there. Which both have anxiety so it's hard to leave them, but leaving them with her makes it easier because they don't have anxiety with her.”
