“Jack is amazing!! He was able to accommodate multiple visits in a day for my puppy on a short notice. He is very communicative, left detailed reviews for each visit with multiple adorable pics. He provided care that was above and beyond. I knew my puppy was in good hands I highly recommend!!!”


“Was very willing to help us with our puppy and took him for a nice long walk! He looked so happy in the picture that was sent! Very efficient with communication too! Thank you!”


About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!

“Thank you so much for taking great care of my fur baby. Reese loves you so much and you did phenomenal making sure she was cared for, had activity outside and plenty of love! I will def book you again for her! Thank you”


“Awesome to work with! Very dependable and a great communicator. So glad she was able to drop in and check in on our kitties while we were away. Would easily rebook with again! Thanks so much, Jessica!”


About: I’ve always had animals big or small. I know the feeling of a set schedule. So I’d be so happy to be there for your animals set schedules. I have time in my schedule to hangout with your animals. I can do anything from stopping by to let them out or feed them. Walking and getting exercise would be fun with an animal. My dogs love outside, laying down, playing or going for walks. I can do those for your animals or just hanging inside relaxing and keeping them company.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid, I also have experience as a kennel tech for over a year of helping with surgeries, recover, medication, anything under the sun I am comfortable doing it for your kiddo. I am comfortable with any dog or cat you throw at me, and of course make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home as a content creator or my whole day is pet care. The second I wake up I take my German shepherd for a walk before I even have my coffee in the morning, I include basic training alongside the walk as well. I get back from the walk and of course make sure my 3 cats are fed with all different dietary needs as my male cat has feline herpes so needs special treatment. I get ready for work but before I do I’ll take my dog out again, work, and basically is repeated from the morning. My main phrase I say is either what’s in your mouth or where’s your ball, even during work I will be throwing the ball for my dog, doing training on stream, or even telling my stream to pause as my dog needs attention. I devote every waking moment to my kids. Of course before I accept any job I would come and meet and your kids beforehand to make sure it is something I can handle and to get an idea how eat pet behaves.

“Cydney was wonderful and a huge relief to our family as we were scrambling to find a last minute carer for our socially needy cat over a three day weekend! She consistently communicated with us with updates, including photos that showed us how relaxed our cat was with her presence during visits. We were very lucky to be able to book with someone who understood our human & cat needs during our time apart. Highly recommend :)”

Cailee H.
“If you’re looking for someone amazing with animals, look no further than Caliee. I can’t say enough great things about her—she’s just phenomenal. From the moment she started helping care for my dog and cats, I saw how naturally she connects with animals. She’s caring, intuitive, and genuinely kind, with a heart of gold. What sets her apart is how animals respond to her—it’s like they just get her. She guides and coaches them with ease, never harsh, but always in control. Honestly, I think my dog and cats might love her even more than they love me (and that’s saying something!). As someone who’s very protective of who spends time with my pets, I can say without hesitation: any animal in Caliee’s care is in the best hands possible. - Kari R.”
