“Chauna is not only an amazing dog sitter, but the nicest, kind and caring person. I have such anxiety’s when leaving my fur babies, but I had so much peace leaving them with her. Not one time did I worry or stress. I knew they were being taken care. Chauna was such a blessing to me this past week. I will 100% use her again.”


“Crystin did an excellent job taking care of my dog while I was away. She was on time each time, and followed instructions thoroughly. I am very pleased and will re-book in the future.”


“We really love having Maria come for drop in visits with Sadie! Maria is very personable and sweet. She is very good with Sadie and Sadie loves her. We always get good feedback when the visit is over and pictures. I would definitely recommend Maria”


About: I have grown up with dogs before I even had a conscious mind. I have loved dogs and animals in general my whole life. there is nothing more that I would like to do than make an animal feel taken care of. being always surrounded by animals at various ages has given me plenty of different experiences- for example, taking care of a dog with seizures, cancer, diabetes, and more. I have dealt with dogs with high anxiety and managing to keep them at a calm state but I have also dealt with dogs who have more aggression and have learned ways to calm them as well. I truly do have a love for animals beyond anything else. I genuinely enjoy any time I can get with them. there is a 100% guarantee that if there is an animal at someones house..I'm with it. I am looking forward to taking care of everyone's little animals (their children) and providing the best care not only for the pet in need but for the owner to feel reassured that their animal is in good hands. I am currently working four times a week but being able to take care of fur babies has been something I have been wanting to do for the longest time!! so although my schedule can be tight I'm willing to work around it when I can. I used to have three dogs in total in all different sizes. I took care of my dogs as if they were my literal children. at points they were probably too spoiled but I couldn't help it! I always made sure my dogs were fed and went out my way to find the best food that would suit their individual needs. two of my dogs were super anxious especially during any type of storm and I never turned them away, I was willing to do anything to make them feel safe. even if that meant sleeping on the floor or some nights not getting any sleep. more often than not I out my dogs first! one of my dogs loved walks so therefore I took him (and still take him) own a walk everyday and let him take as much time as he needs. I don't believe in hitting or yelling at any animal/using any form of aggression. I am a very empathetic and compassionate person. I am not quick to anger I'm only quick to solve whatever issue may be at hand. and my most important goal to create the best experience I can for the animals and owners.

“Ariana was the best! Right away she told me that my cats were beautiful, and she seemed genuinely excited to watch them. She sent me updates and pictures every time she went over to my house, and I could tell that my cats were in good hands the whole time! They all came out for her, which does not always happen, so they could tell she was a good one!”


“Loralei did drop in visits 2 x day for 5 days for my 3 pups . Charlie is not particularly fond of people and I was a little nervous about how he’d react but by the end of the second day she had won him over and he followed her outside along with the other 2. She also fed my fish and put bird seed in my feeder every morning. She communicated concerns and reassured me all was well . I recommend her and I will use her again in the future !”



“Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!”

About: I have had dogs and helped take care of them since I was 8 years old. My dream is to become a veterinarian one day. I have worked in animal care for over a year at a training facility, where I helped maintain the facility's cleanliness as well as the health and safety of all the dogs in our care. I also assisted with feeding, walks, and administering oral medications when needed. I am currently a substitute teacher, and will be available days when I am off to make sure I give your pets the best possible care and my full undivided attention. I have a fenced-in backyard, and I help play with them and ensure they have everything they need. I also do vet runs when needed.

About: I’ve lived with multiple dogs at a time for my entire life and have been taking care of them since I was around 8. I’ve volunteered at the humane society and also adopted two of my dogs from there! I also volunteered with a local shelter at pet smart when I lived in Utah and ended up adopting one of my dogs from there as well. I frequently walk dogs when they’re in my care because I enjoy the exercise as much as they do! I’ve pet sit for many friends and get asked to do so frequently. Before I go to work I’ll allow plenty of time in the morning for animal care and when I get back I’ll spend time playing with pets and taking them on walks. I don’t let animals stay alone for too long if I can help it and take care of them first thing after work. I will have to provide at your house because I don’t have the ability where I stay. I’ll take the dogs on leashed walks and follow care instructions left by owner.

“As always, Laurie left our home in perfect condition, locked up, and pup secure! Dixie was well loved and cared for while we were gone and Laurie did a great job communicating with us and sending pictures! We are so thankful for a wonderful sitter!!!”
