“Kelly watched our whole pack, 2 great Danes and our foster dog who needed meds and special attention. We are very happy with the care she provided and our house was well respected. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I am experienced in all types of pets from rabbits and snakes to large dogs and cows. From exotic to every day I've cared for a wide variety. I am currently work a nine to five weekdays so my schedule is open for afternoons and evenings week days and I am available any time weekends. I have experience in crate training, potty training, and leash training my own dogs and am very compassionate for dogs that might need extra care and attention.
“Jennifer took such great care of our babies! She sent photos and updates which reassured as a pet parent hating to be away. 100% would recommend if you want your fur babies being left in safe and trusting hands.”

“Roberta is awesome! She was so kind and always gave updates on our dogs. She stayed the night 2 nights and dropped in on a Saturday a few times. I would recommend her to anyone and use her again. She even tried to vacum up the dog hair off couch. Thank you”

“Sianna was amazing with our dog Jax! She sent daily updates with pictures and responded to messages promptly. She went above and beyond for what we expected and we will definitely be using her again! We cannot recommend Sianna enough to keep your mind at ease while you are away from your pet!”

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.
“Zana was wonderful. She communicated with me throughout with ease. She sent photos and was an excellent sitter with my pup and kitties. Highly recommend.”

“Connie provided excellent care for our two dogs and two cats while housesitting. She sent daily updates and photos and everyone always looked so happy and content. She went above and beyond to tidy up and provide plenty of exercise for our two pups. She is professional, communicative, and a true animal whisperer!”
“Stokely was great with the dogs. At the meet-n-greet, they immediately took to him. I felt like they were spoiled for a few days, and it worked out really well. We had clear notes for him, and he ensured things were tidy when we came home. Will definitely use again.”

“Audrey took great care of our dog and cat this weekend! The house was left exactly how it was left and the animals were happy! I even received updates & pictures over the weekend of our fur-babies. Thank you, Audrey!”

“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”

“Kelly was an amazing sitter! She stayed at our house and gave our pups all the love and snuggles. She kept us updated with messages and cute pictures. It’s great to know our dogs were in good hands!”

“Shirley was fantastic-- she came for a meet and greet on her own time even though we only had a one night booking and took care of both of our aged pets, giving them meds and dealing with an incontinent dog. She did it all with a smile! Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice, detailed oriented and responsive sitter.”

“Emma did a wonderful job watching our dog Finn. She was on time to pick up the key, and sent me pictures and texts throughout the booking so I knew Finn was fine. She played games with him, walked him and fed him on schedule. I know Finn was happy because he was not anxious when we got home. He is usually very needy and clingy after we have been away. This time with Emma, he was totally chill when we got home. I eould book with Emma again in a heartbeat!🐕👍”

“Taya did such an amazing job watching our new rescue Boh, who’s a lot to handle right now. And Rico our little elderly gentleman- two totally different dogs at once. THE BEST PART was she stayed overnight with them, neither dog has ever been left alone so I was so appreciative she did that for us. All instructions were followed meticulously and we have already rebooked her for a trip when we are out of the country in 30 days. 10/10 would recommend her all day as your go to pet guru.”

About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!

“Sierra was great. Our house was kept clean and our dogs were happy. Not much communication and no pictures were sent but we believe they were having a good time and were satisfied with the stay.”

“Claire was wonderful and I highly recommend her! My dog needs some extra attention and Claire went above and beyond, would definitely have her house and dog sit again!!”
