“Alissa was so attentive to all 4 of our fur babies! We felt so secure knowing they were in great hands. We got some adorable pictures and the animals definitely felt the love. Can’t recommend Alissa enough!”
“Hannah was amazing. She showed up on time and came across as very warm and responsible. We came home to our house the way that we left it and both kids seemed happy and content. Hannah showed us patience with our elderly dog, Harly who is struggling with bathroom breaks and mild mobility issues. Hannah responded very quickly on our daily checkins and made us feel that the kids were her top priority. We will definitely ask Hannah to watch the kids again. Thanks Hannah!”
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life. At the age of 14 I had my cat/dog boarding/daycare/grooming job. I am now 18 and am still working with dogs almost everyday! I’m currently working part-time , so I would love to spend extra time with your furr babies! I also have my own transportation to your house and back.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs in a pet sitting capacity since I was 12. I have taken care of large dogs breed, small dog breeds, and everything in between. Each dog has its own unique preferences and needs when their families are away. You can relax knowing your pet is in capable hands while you’re away from them. I am currently working part time with flexible hours which leaves me plenty of time to hang with your pet! Available during both weekends and weekdays. I am adaptable and can help your pet feel safe at home while you’re away. For dogs with needs such as special food regimens or medication needs, I usually like to have a meet and greet where the owner demonstrates how they prefer tasks are done. That way the owner can have peace of mind and I can feel confident that I can do the task to the owner’s standards.

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and foster parent my whole life. I’ve trained and owned all kinds of dogs from Jack Russels and Pomeranians to Great Danes and Golden Doodles. The relationships I build with dogs are enriching and rewarding. The innocence and desire to just be themselves is what I love about animals. I treat my new dog friends like family and I believe they prosper in a relationship that promotes their inner dog as well as setting boundaries that help the human/canine relationship prosper. I embrace the belief of calm assertive dominance and find it that dogs seem to find peace in me being in that role. I am a stay at home parent whose availability is an asset that I utilize for the sake of the animals I care for. I hope to one day befriend your best friend. I’m a stay at home father of 10 and 12 yr old boys. I raise 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 24 chickens. I have lots of flexibility to ensure the care needed for you pet.
