“Really nice meeting Jessica for the 1st time! Very focused on meeting and bonding with the dogs. Jessica is very confident and obviously experienced with handling and making relationships with animals. Our hyper young lab was no problem for her, she handled him very well. Looking forward to a long relationship with her and our dogs!”


“Emily did great with my dogs & I would definitely use her as a dog sitter again. She sent pictures & kept in contact with me while I was away.”


“Thank you Bebe—Bonnie is a difficult teenager and I really appreciated having someone who could handle her ❤️”


“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”


“Brandy communicated so well with me during my out of state trip. Lots of pictures, information, and even fixed our dead bolt lock! She stayed at our home and took care of our two dogs that aren’t used to being alone. The house was spotless when we got back. The dogs have been looking out the window for when their “friend” is coming home. Haha Couldn’t have asked for a better person to do the job. Cheers to Brandy; she gets 100 stars in my book!”


“Jaelyn was a pleasure to have to watch our dog! She was prompt, courteous, helpful, communicative and one with a positive and uplifting attitude. We received daily check ins on how our dog was doing without us which relieved our minds knowing she was being well taken care of at our home. We returned to a spotless house and a happy pup and we have already booked Jaelyn for another visit! Thank you so much for your love and care!”



“Erica took amazing care of our three large dogs and while gone, she sent pics and updates. Came home to a clean house, happy dogs, and bedding in the washer. I'd highly recommend and hope to book her for future dates.”


“Brooke took good care of my dog while I was away. I recommend her with five stars!”



“Holly was very good with our six pack! She did exactly what was asked. She sent us updates and contacted us whe she had questions. She is honest and dependable and we will be calling on her again! When we returned home, our babies were happy and well adjusted and I’m pretty sure they loved her!!”


“Jessie took wonderful care of our two pups and cat while we were away. He communicated daily and spent a lot of time with our fur kids, who always have separation anxiety while we are gone. We would recommend using Jesse for overnight stays.”


About: I have experience dog walking and sitting for 5 years. I make sure they’re exercised while having fun;) From bathing them, administering medications, to any other specific care they need, I am here for you and your pet! I am self employed, so I completely make my own schedule. I am mostly available whenever you need. Some weekends may be unavailable, but the more notice given, the likelier I’ll be available. I would be caring for them in your home. I make sure to spend adequate time with them, whether it be playing, walking, or just giving them attention! I’m available to give them plenty of potty breaks as well.

“Ada did a terrific job. She and my dog, Pinot, bonded well and she was wonderful in caring for him and my house. I felt really comfortable leaving everything in great hands while I was out of the country for a week. We were able to remain in contact and she sent me periodic updates and a few photos as well. I highly recommend her services and hope to schedule her again for a future engagement.”


About: I have experience giving ear, eye drops, and medication. I can brush teeth, clean ears, and trim nails. I have attended service dog training and have trained my own dog. I love to walk dogs for hours per day. When I get home, I love to snuggle up with a cat and watch a movie. I incorporate playtime and training before meals. Before bed, I do a basic hygiene routine with wipes, paw balm, and teeth brushing. I will respect the rules you have for animals in your home. I will treat your animals like they were my own, with all of the respect and care.

“Athena s the ultimate cat care giver! She is conscientious about sharing updates regarding how our cats have been doing in our absence. She is very supportive and easy to work with and has a relaxing presence which was a superb match for our cats. We could not have asked for more and will not hesitate to request her services again!”


About: I have taken care of dogs of various sizes and breads since I was five years old. My neighbors and friends trust me to take impeccable care for their pets. I am currently in high school and I work part-time two days a week. Although, I have quite a bit of free time and in that time I usually like to workout or try new things. Occasionally my family and I go to bend on the weekends. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a property that Is not heavily populated by cars on the road. I also have three varying sized crates as well as two dogs. My dogs are let out every 1-2 hours. One of my dogs is crated when I am not home and my other dog does not have to be crated. In my clients home, I will care for their pets like my client would normally and I will ensure that their home is left clean.

“Absolutely wonderful pet/house sitting experience with Maddie! I highly recommend her for her consistency, superb care, and friendly and responsive communication. I will definitely be asking her to care for my pets in the future!”


About: I have been taking care of animals of all kinds for over 10 years for friends and family and I think this service is a great outlet for both me and you. Available 7 days a week. Let’s work together to help both you and your furry family and I will strive to give the support and help wherever it is needed. I can easily stay at residence full time if needed for your pet if needed. Provide multiple daily check-ins depending on my current scheduled clients. Walks, simply play time, feeding, potty breaks, and check ins.

“Kelli did a fantastic job caring for our cats. She quickly familiarized herself with their specific dietary needs, including supplements and snacks, and maintained their feeding schedule meticulously. Kelli consistently sent us daily updates with photos and videos, ensuring we were well-informed and at ease while we were away. Her dedication and reliability during her week-long commitment were truly commendable. We greatly appreciate her effort and were able to enjoy our time knowing the cats were in good hands and despite falling ill at the end of that week, but she showed up every day, so thank you so much!”


“First off, Adria is amazing! She is dependable/flexible and great with animals! She watched my dogs at my home and left everything tidy and my dogs loved her! Your dogs will be well cared for and your home will be also!”


About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I’m extremely attentive to all of their needs. Big, little, and everything in between. I have experience with dogs that need medication and seniors I currently work four days a week and can feed animals before and after work. Sunday-Tuesday I am available for housesitting and multiple trips a day to take care of and play with your pets As I have animals that like to get into things, it’s my priority to make sure the home is safe for when animals are on their own. I’ve also owned runners in the past so I’m cautious coming in and out of the house. I work to build your pets trust in me and I’m willing and able to take it slow with them :)

Hannah M.
“Hannah has dog sat for us on multiple occasions. She is by far one of the best dog sitters! Our pets absolutely love her! She is very clean and follows (the annoyingly long) instructions we have. She goes above and beyond with our dogs. She also runs our dogs and they look forward to every exercise outing they have with her! I never worry about their safety when they are with her as she is on top of being completely aware of her surroundings when she is with them. Highly highly recommend!”

“Hannah has watched our pets before (2 dogs, 3 cats, and 15 chickens) which for most can be a lot!

She also does a good job communicating via text if there are any questions/clarifications or if we are simply looking for an update on our fur (and feather) babies!”

I’ve never worried about being gone because I know they are in good hands. My dog gets so excited every time she comes over because he knows he’s going to get all of the attention. I definitely recommend that she takes care of your pet.”

Nadiya did a great job watching our dog Bronco. He is only 3 and can be a hand full at times and she said he was a good dog while we were away. She sent me photos while I was gone which was really nice and helped me feel as if I was staying connected with my pup.
