“We scheduled Sam for a 10-day house and pet sitting for our 2 dogs. This was a longer than normal vacation for us which made us a bit anxious about leaving our dogs for so long. Sam eased our minds with his professional and compassionate care. He kept the dogs on their regular schedules and activities, and was very conscientious taking care of the house too. His communication and pictures helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation! We returned to calm and happy dogs, and the house was clean and tidy and it seemed like we hadn't been gone.”


“Joanna showed up on time, communicated with me beforehand, sent pics and videos of my fur baby while I was gone, and you could see how happy he was in the pics and videos and when I returned home. Appreciate her love for animals!”


“We've used Kyelene as our sitter numerous times now. She's always punctual and a great communicator. Our pup absolutely loves her! We really appreciate her attention to detail and that we never need to worry when our pup is in her care.”


About: I have always had animals growing up and currently have a lab of my own. I love being around animals and getting to meet and take care of them! I am starting surgical tech school and don’t have the time to work full time so I am looking to make some extra money when I can and make money doing something I really enjoy! I have a fenced in yard and currently have a lab of my own and loves playing with every and any dog. Then right now I live with my cousin who has a fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs that love to play as well!

“My house looks great annd anll in good order and my pets are happy. Lindsey did a fantastic job. I'm so happy she agreed to take care of my three guys: Nicky, Marmalade & Oliver while I was away for a week.”


“Great communication! Thankful for her”


About: I am a huge dog lover!! I used to volunteer at the humane society growing up and that’s when I fell in love with taking care of dogs. I am very patient when it comes to dogs which have I found is key. I will always keep my eye on the dog just to make sure there is no mischief going on. I will always listen to what you do with your dog and promise to follow their routine and any given instructions. I think it will be very important to also build a good and trusting relationship with also you the owner since you are putting your trust in me with taking care of your beloved pet. If you have any questions feel free to ask me anything! I am currently working nights part time at the hospital and am a full time nursing student, but I am always available on the weekends and sometimes during they day. I do have an open backyard for my dog, and we use the kennel for when we are away for more than a few hours.

“Chloe was very helpful and took care of our crew perfectly. Thanks!”


“My dog and cat were so calm when I returned from a week's vacation, and that is due to Kelli's good care! My pets love their routine and lots of attention, and Kelli provided what they needed! She left my home in tip-top shape, too! I will definitely ask here here again!”


“We loved having Kirsten here staying in our home with our two cocker spaniels for 3 days/2 nights. She did a wonderful job and our pups loved her. She followed all directions and gave us daily updates. We will definitely have Kirsten again and we were very comfortable having her stay in our home.”


“Tamra did an outstanding job of house sitting, Fred sitting as well as keeping Fred and his overly concerned and worried parents happy. LOL We received multiple pictures and texts every day showing how Fred was doing and how much fun they were having together. We had the best possible experience having Tamra as our Fred's caregiver. In the future she will be our "go to" at home pet sitter.”


About: I have had dogs my whole life that I solely care for. Now I live in a dorm and miss spending that time with a pet. I have had a diabetic dog and am trained in giving shots to dogs. I have also had a dog who went blind. My best friend also has had a few litters of puppies that I help out with. I have college classes Monday through Wednesday, but only in the morning! The rest of my free time could be better spent with an animal! I can happily follow instructions down to the letter to provide everything your pet may need. I would be happy to provide love and care for your pet in the comfort in their own home.

“Stacy was absolutely incredible with our with our pup! We seriously cannot say enough good things about her! We greatly appreciated her taking the time to do a meet and greet with him so he would be comfortable with her before she stayed. We knew right away that she has a true passion and great knowledge of caring for dogs. He instantly took to her calming nature. Our boxer gets a little separation anxiety from us being away and her compassion for making sure he felt loved and comfortable put him right at ease. She truly went above and beyond. As a worried dog mom, her constant updates made me feel so much better knowing he was doing well. I loved getting her frequent photos and videos of him through the day. She stayed at our home over the 4th of July weekend and we had some periods where fireworks were giving him anxiety as well. She was so patient with him and stayed in his room with him so he felt comforted. When we arrived home our house was left just the way we left and our boy was happy as can be! We won’t go to anyone else for watching our boy! If you have the opportunity to book with Stacy you will be so lucky! We are so grateful we found her.”


About: I've dealt with giving meds to all pets whether it's good additives or for arthritis and much more, very good observation to bring up any concerns I may see with your babies. And loads of play time and treats . I work first shift so after 330 I'm available during the week. I'm also available on weekends completely. I'm so excited to meet your fur babies. I love dogs and cats we have two big dogs one is a German shepherd and the other is an alstralian golden retriever mix both about 5 years old .

“Danielle stayed with Maddie at my home, played with her and took her on walks. Definitely will ask her to watch Maddie again!”


About: I've grown up taking care of and loving animals, and have always wanted to go into a profession where I can do that forever. It's always made me happy to care for dogs and cats, and I'm so excited to be able to help other dog and cat parents take care of their babies!! I've dog sat both newborn puppies and raptor puppies and one senior dog so I can handle anything they throw at me for sure!! I am currently unemployed because I want to find the right job for me, so I have all the time in the world to tune into your pets wants and needs!! Maybe I can turn this into my full time job! Currently I do not offer my home to take care of your babies, but that is only because I have 4 dogs and two cats already and I feel that would overwhelm any dog or cat that stayed here! Although I have family I live with and a fenced in yard so they roam as much as they can of course and are very happy babies. My family takes care of them while I care for your pets at your home so it's a win win situation!

“Kiara was very sweet to our 3 fur babies. She was very patient with our two cats who have a lot of stranger anxiety. She also treated our small dog with a lot of care. She even took her out to get a pup cup from Starbucks! Photos were sent on a regular basis and it made us feel comfortable. We were very happy to have met her as she treats our babies like her own.”


About: Grew up working in my fathers Vet clinics and absolutely fell in love with animals. I have been pet sitting/walking/running dogs for family and friends for years and absolutely love spending time with dogs!! I recently resigned from my job because I wasn't happy, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and look after them. Can do visits or walks very frequently. I treat animals like spoiled children, dogs are family to me. I have a fenced in back yard that backs up to a little pond that birds frequent. Dogs are definitely allowed on all furniture at my house.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8. I have cared for my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and i also grew up on a farm. I wish to be able to take in any animal. I love taking the fur babies out for walks and play time outside. People have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, and give medicine to their fur babies and give them just as much cuddles as they would when they are home. I am a stay at home dog mom and so I can take care of your fur babies all day and they would have my full attention all times of the day. I have two fur babies of my own that love to play with other dogs. I also have a fenced in yard so they are able to run around in and have fun. I can accommodate to any needs your fur baby may need.

About: I've taken care of cats ever since I was young and dogs more recently. Girlfriend and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets... I currently work full-time 2nd shift. So although I won't be free in afternoon I'll have all morning to play with either your pups or cats! I'm available for boarding on Friday and Saturday after 3pm. I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs that my girlfriend occasionally brings over for the night when she visits, and a cat who's a little timid at first, but once he warms up he is very affectionate and enjoys company.
