Zach and Logan did a great job with the pups over the wkend. They were helpful not only with them, but caring for my chickens and hanging baskets while we were gone. I was a bit apprehensive about having someone I didn't know stay in my home but they made it easy and are very trustworthy. They are good communicators and kept me informed throughout their stay on how the pups were doing. Highly recommend them. Definitely will call upon them in the future.

We highly recommend Riley. Our little Calli Has some anxiety issues, but she seemed to relax and accept Riley easily. She was in excellent spirits when we returned home, and was well cared for. Riley’s knowledge of pets and her love of them is obvious.

Absolutely loved Kelly and Lindsey - and even more importantly, so did Zeller! He couldn't wait for us to leave for our vacation once they arrived. Very easy to contact, kept the house very clean, and took great care of our baby. Thank you Kelly and Lindsey! We hope you'll be available for our next trip :)

Wesley was wonderful! Super responsive, communicative, and confident with our fur crew from the start. Our dogs can be pretty high energy, but Wesley handled them with patience and clear commands. We’ll definitely be booking with Wesley again!

Helena was everything we hoped for in a dog and house sitter. I appreciate so much all of the photos, the detailed updates on their time together, and how proactive Helena was with communicating. We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!

About: I’ve had animals in my house since I was born! I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve even had fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and ferrets. Needless to say, I truly love animals so much (maybe even more than humans). I turn into a full on mom when any animal comes my way. I’ve had experience with taking care and training animals since I was 12. All in all, taking care of your lil ones while you’re away is not just a vacation for you, it’s a vacation for me as well. Expect to come home to healthy, relaxed, and happy lil guys and girls! I’m currently a part time student who is also working part time sooo I have a lot of free time on my hands! I’m available on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am currently only accepting boarding in the client’s home due to my own dog’s training. I will care for pets in my client’s home exactly as instructed by them. I will be able to stay with them all day, let them out every hour or so, feed them when scheduled, take them on walks, have play time, and cozy time as well.

Ada house sat my dog who was both diabetic and recovering from bronchitis which required shots and other medications twice a day. She not only cared for MMO’s medical needs but provided emotional support for him in my absence. She sent pictures and conducted a River video chat with me to ensure not only Momo’s emotional support but for mine as well. I felt confident my beloved pet was in good hands.

Sharon was amazing! My digs instantly liked her the moment she sat down, and I have a dachshund! Sharon sent tons of photos (as I requested) and she stayed in perfect contact with me about the dogs. Sharon was all over great and I will definitely call her first next time I need anything for my fur family. Great person, great sitter!

Camryn was great. She was very communicative and we could tell she cared nicely for our two boys. She even noticed one of our boys had some itchy ears and offered to clean them out. Hopefully she is available next time we have to go out of town.

Bree always does such a wonderful job looking after my pets. She provides regular updates so I don’t have to wonder how things are going at home, and I can enjoy my vacation knowing they’re getting plenty of love and attention while I’m away. This stay was the longest I’ve ever been away from them, but when I returned everyone was happy and my home was just as I left it. I will continue to be a repeat client because Bree truly does treat my little ones as her own.

Bree did a fantastic job looking after our two cats and dog. One of our cats needs multiple meds and Bree was able to administer them all. Our dog is a rescue and sometimes take a little time to warm up to new sitters. She was very conscientious about letting our pets get used to her. Communication was great as well. We look forward to having Bree take care of our girls again!

Bree was absolutely wonderful as an overnight sitter for our two pups. She was friendly, communicative, and very attentive with our dogs while we were away. We are so appreciative of her pictures and extra precautions with caring for our dogs during the heat advisory. We highly recommend Bree for all pet sitting needs!
