“Maegan did a wonderful job! We have a new rescue dog that is afraid of everything and she went above and beyond to work with him! She housesat and everything at the house was left in immaculate condition! She also took care of our 16 year old cat! Everything was great! 😊😊😊”

“Darla took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was out of town, including my senior dog that recently started having some health issues & needed daily medication given. I felt no stress being gone & she had great communication with me & left my house spotless. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Caitlin stayed at our home with our two beagles for 8 days. During that time, she made sure that our younger dog received her seizure medication every 8 hours. She left my home the way it was when she arrived and my dogs were treated well. Highly recommend Caitlin!!”

“Dalton was extremely professional during all of our interactions. He made sure to keep us updated while we were away and sent several photos of Copper. We will definitely use him again if he is available!”
“Amanda was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I will forever use her to watch my babies! She was wonderful and my puppies absolutely adored her! She sent me so many wonderful pictures and took such great care of them and not once did I have to worry about their well being! Thank you so so much and I can’t wait to praise your sitting to other families who are in need of someone caring to watch their babies!”

About: I have many pets at home (10 to be exact) and they are the best part of each day. I would love to get to know yours as well! I just took a break from college, so I have a lot of free time. I am still available on weekends but not full time because of work. Weekdays are totally free! My main goal is to make your pets feel safe and comfortable with me. I will do what’s needed to make them feel as though they can trust me.
“Michael took great care of our dogs, walking and and feeding them. They had a better time with him than with us! Great with instructions, would fully recommend Michael for any dog sitting situations.”

About: Hi, I’m Valentino! I’ve had the joy of caring for four pets in my lifetime, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs and cats. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just giving them the attention they deserve, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels happy and loved. With a deep understanding of their needs and plenty of experience, I’ll treat your furry friends like family. Let me be your go-to pet sitter for a fun, safe, and caring experience! Right now, I’m a senior in high school, but my schedule is flexible! I’m available anytime on weekends and on weekdays from 4 PM and after. With my senior year coming to an end soon, I’ll have even more availability. If you need a dependable and loving pet sitter, I’d love to help. If your pet stays with me, they’ll enjoy a spacious two-story home with plenty of room to relax, along with a fenced yard for safe outdoor play. My neighborhood is very pet-friendly, with lots of people outside walking and playing with their pets, making it a great environment for social and active animals. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure to follow their routine, give them plenty of attention, and ensure they feel comfortable while you’re away. From walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I treat every pet like my own!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. Family, friends, and clients have trusted me with their fur babies. You should too!!! I’m home for the summer may 7th - July 2nd and I can take care of your sweet animals at any time during the week including weekends! I have 3 other dogs who are very friendly, my neighborhood is not dangerous at all and I have a fenced in back yard! I also would have family to help!
“Vivian was amazing with our two doggos. She even sent us a pic mid week to let us know how they were doing. Would highly recommend and we will book her the next time we have an extended trip planned.”

“Deanna came to our rescue after our other sitter had a death in the family and could not watch our dogs. She is awesome she did great watching our dogs. She took them out and spent several hours with them a day. We originally booked for overnight but because she lives so close we let her do drop in visits and it worked out just as well. I highly recommend Deanna to watch your pets because she'll treat them like family and did an amazing job! We will be using her again!”

“Kaleb was fabulous! Because he has a big dog of his own he understands what is needed with my loveable lazy boys. Kaleb was thoughtful, thorough and the boys loved him! Will be using Kaleb regularly for sure!”

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.
About: I’ve been a vet tech, a zookeeper, and have been caring for animals almost all my life. I went to school for wildlife ecology, and I am trained in home introduction techniques. I’m happy to care for any special needs or particular requests you have to make your pet’s as comfortable as possible during their stay! Looking forward to caring for your furry family members soon. I work full-time, but when I am home I make sure to give your fur babies my undivided attention. My wife is home all day, so she can definitely help out with your fur babies! I make sure every dog is comfortable with me, and I let them walk around my home to get a sense of the area. If the clients home I make sure the dog/dogs are comfortable with me as well, and once they are I proceed with taking care of them.
“Kaitlyn did an outstanding job with Bosco. She kept me informed through her stay with him. She kept me informed with text and pictures. I will definitely be using her again for any future trips.”
