“Jacob was wonderful!! The animals loved him, he took excellent care of our home, and he is a super nice guy to boot. He was very responsive and kept us updated the entire time we were out of town. Would highly recommend!”


“Jacqueline was wonderful! She watched our two dogs for a second time. This time was for a whole week. They were happy and relaxed when we returned home. We are so grateful to have found her!”

“Alison is awesome!!! She just did an overnight with our Sherman, who was not feeling well, and went above and beyond to take care of him. I would highly recommend her.”

“We had Kasey for one night and for the first time, but definitely intend to keep her in mind for future longer stays. In fact, we already booked her for a week early August. She was very responsive and our pup seemed very happy when we got home. She sent pictures around the house and out for walks too. The house was immaculate and she ever took our trash bins out as she noted several were out in our community.”

“John was on time. He was very kind. He and our sweet Savannah bonded and has a great weekend. He completed walks and feedings. He assisted with her vitamin. We will plan to use him again and would highly recommend him.”

About: Growing up I have always lived helping others and even helping animals. As a young kid, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals. Although my college plan is to become a special education teacher, I have always had a passion for animals. I really enjoy giving animals a voice and creating special bonds with them. Over the years my family has rescued over 8 animals including dogs and cats. I have been dog sitting for 3 years now for family friends and I am willing to do it for anyone in need. Animals have always left an impact on my life and I hope I do the same to them. I am not doing this for the money but to help many animals in need, as well as their owners. I really hope I am able to give endless love to you pet or pets. Thank you.
“Chelsea was wonderful, we booked her last minute after a family member became ill and could not sit our dog, Kenzie. She stayed over night and sent pictures and updates. I felt very confident leaving our home and dog in her care. Will definitely use her again.”

“Christine was a great pet sitter for our dog and 3 cats. We were away for 6 days and she kept us updated with texts and pictures which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use her again to watch our babies.”

“Mariah did a fabulous job with our two fur babies. We came back from vacation to find them happy, healthy and well cared for. She sent plenty of photos. Definitely recommend. She was caring for them in our home and left the house spotless.”


About: My name is Carla, I have over four years of pet care experience (working in pet stores, vet clinic's, and volunteering for local shelters. I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.
“Brooke is a wonderful pet sitter! Amigo is a rescue and had a sad beginning so he is sometimes withdrawn around strangers but he immediately loved Brooke! She is so reliable and shows up on time and lets you know her schedule in advance. She is great with animals and a very sweet person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. Reluctantly highly recommend her because if everyone uses her she might be too busy when we need her next and I definitely want her the next time we need a sitter!”
