“MacKenzie was fantastic! We had a family member cancel with short notice for watching out 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were going on vacation. I quickly hopped on Rover to see who was near us, and decided to message MacKenzie based on other reviews that had been left. She was quickly able to come over and meet our gang to make sure it would be a fit. After that initial meeting, my husband and I both felt very comfortable and confident with her coming to stay and take care of things while we were gone. The day we were supposed to leave, we ran into some issues but MacKenzie was flexible and fast to communicate. She was very punctual and sent brief updates/questions throughout the week (she has our preference on communication and we had told her we didn't need regular check ins or updates). When we got home, we could tell our dogs and cats had missed us, but it was also clear that they had been well taken care of. Overall, if and when I may need another house & pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to MacKenzie and I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”


“Anna was excellent with our fur baby while we were on an extended vacation. She stayed in our home and was very respectful during her stay. Our doggie is disabled and needs a bit more care which Anna provided.”


“Brittany is awesome and she is my new go to when I need my dog looked after. I recently moved to the area and have been looking for someone to look after my dog when I have to travel. She kept in constant communication with me; provided photos and videos daily; and even picked up an Easter gift for him.”


“Robin is amazing! She looked after my pups at my place for 4 days and sent me plenty of pictures and good communication. You could tell she loved my pups and they definitely loved her. Will definitely use her again!”


“Cassandra is absolutely amazing! We were nervous leaving our babies for a week and have someone stay at the house. Cassandra met all expectations and more! Extremely communicative, sends lots of photos and videos, treats your babies like her own, and makes you feel calm and peaceful while away. 1000% recommend Cassandra!”


“Robert spent a weekend caring for our fur babies. We had a meet and greet prior to his stay and he did a thorough assessment of our animals needs to make sure he provided top notch care. Over the weekend he sent pictures and updates. I knew my fur babies were well-taken care of.”



“Cheyanne was great. Our dog has separation anxiety and we needed a sitter last minute for Christmas. She stayed with Leaf all day and provided us with updates to ease our minds. When we returned Leaf was happy. Would definitely have Cheyanne care for Leaf again!”


About: Putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for a variety of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and even otters. Since 2014, I’ve consistently provided daily care that includes feeding, walking, grooming, training, administering medications, and maintaining clean living environments. I currently own a Belgian Malinois and two Persian cats, which has given me extensive experience with high-energy and high-maintenance breeds. My background includes not only routine care, but also behavioral training and attention to the unique needs of each species, demonstrating both responsibility and a strong passion for animal welfare. I’m a military spouse, at the moment I’m going to be available any time of the day and night. Text and calls are available all week 24/7. Also I’m I full time mom, I have a 3 year old boy, he is always with me, that’s why I choose this job so I can have the opportunity to work choosing my own schedule. He is a sweet boy. I don’t have a fence at my home, but I always take my dog on a leash outdoors for a potty break and also to have a time for a walk.

“Super attentive. Sent photos and updates while we were done and spent plenty of time with the pups, walking them, playing with them, and snuggling up in them. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”



“Ginny did a great job!!! My dogs were well loved and had excellent care. Ginny administered medicine for my pet's while she took care of them. She spent two full days with them. She even emptied my dishwasher. Ginny truly loves animals and my pets were so happy to see her. She played with them in the yard. Ginny sent me a text each day to let me know how they were doing. We were very satisfied with Ginny. She will be the first person we call when we need a sitter again.”


About: I keep my eyes on pets and I allow them the illusion of freedom in the back yard (on camera). Helps them to feel independent. (Due to their nature I'm unable to board Yorkies (Yorkshire Terriers) and Morkies. Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding.) I'm at the house almost all day, and I can secure the pet in a cage when I need to run out to run errands. I monitor the pet closely and I walk them at potty time and play catch or tag of war with them in the back yard.

“Trez’Sheer did an excellent job watching my dog. Moose is complicated; he is a senior dog with many special needs. He is a fully blind, partially deaf dog with anxiety. He also takes nighty medication. Trez’Sheer handled all his needs well. She communicated with me daily and quickly whenever I reached out to check in. She stayed in my home, kept my house tidy, and treated my home and dog respectfully. I’d use Trez’Sheer’s pet sitting services in the future if she is willing to put up with Moose again. I was anxious about leaving Moose for eight days, but he was in good hands with Trez’Sheer.”



About: I grew up with lots of animals and have plenty of experience. I have experience with senior animals. I have some experience in dog training as I trained my Labrador Retriever as a puppy in doggie obedience school. My Lab is now currently a senior doggie. We breed and raise pedigreed Mini Rex, and pedigreed Netherland Dwarf bunnies for showing and pets. My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. I homeschool a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet so he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. Our dogs stay on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. We do have some caged pets but they will be in a separate part of the house during boarding 🙂


About: I have been around animals and had my own dogs ever since I was born. I love animals and I would treat each and everyone as if it were my own 2 fur babies. As a teenager I used to work with a Persian cat breeder feeding and cleaning cats. I have a job that gives flexibility and different hours and days off all throughout the week and most weekends I am off. I love spending time with my dogs who are both starting in their senior years so I feel like having other dogs around will help them remember their youthful days. I have a fenced in yard, 2 dogs that are friendly at home a gated area in the house for pets. I can support most people’s needs or wants for their pets

“The dogs were comfortable with her however we wish the communication was better when obligations couldn't be fulfilled due to car trouble. So that we could have made other arrangements sooner so the dogs could have stayed on their normal schedule.”


About: I have 3 dogs of my own, varied ages, and even a pig! But I have been around animals as long as I can remember. My partner won’t let me get any more animals, so I would love to care for all of yours instead! I am a teacher and looking for summer, and break, work. I am practically available all day! I would be a fool to not do something that I love to occupy my days. I have a very energetic 1 year old, fully vaccinated, puppy that would love to run around with your fur babies. She has a bigger brother and sister, so size is not a problem for her. I also have 2 cats of my own so have experience with both.
