“Vanessa was great with our girls! We felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands. Everything went great and she left the house the way we left it. The girls get so excited to see her :) We highly recommend Vanessa and will be calling on her again for future vacations.”


“Alivia was amazing! She house sat/ dog sat for me for a week. She was easy to communicate with, sent many photos and updates, and was kind enough to take care of my house as well. I came home to a happy pup, and a house that was cleaner than i left it. Thank you Alivia!”


“Taylor was incredible! Great communication, very reliable, and left my house even cleaner than I left it for her. Would recommend, thank you so much for taking such good care of Lotus and my home!!!”


“This was our first time using Rover, or having anyone that wasn’t family watch our 9 year old Lab. Theo did amazing!! Tons of walks, playing, and snuggling with him. 100% will be booking with Theo again!”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Debra to take care of my beloved Cavachon, Rocket, while I was away on vacation. I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the level of care and responsibility she demonstrated throughout her stay. From our initial meeting, Deb showed genuine interest in Rocket's well-being and took the time to understand his routine, quirks, and preferences. This immediately put me at ease knowing that Rocket would be in good hands. During her time at my home, Deb not only tended to Rocket's basic needs, such as feeding and exercise, but went above and beyond to ensure he felt loved and comfortable. She took him on regular walks, played with him, and even sent me updates and photos, which reassured me that Rocket was happy and content. Beyond caring for Rocket, Deb also took excellent care of my house. Everything was in perfect order when I returned, and she had even gone the extra mile to water my lawn and keep the place tidy. Overall, I cannot recommend Deb highly enough. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future pet sitting needs without any hesitation. Thank you, Deb, for providing such exceptional care to Rocket and my home. You truly made my vacation worry-free, knowing everything was in such capable hands.”


“Molly took great care of our pets! It was a great relief to know they were in good hands of someone who loved animals! I would use her again!”


“Sierra was very communicative and took lots of pictures and videos of her time with our good balls. Even with an injured wrist she was able to care for our two med/large (70 lb each) dogs. They had a blast with her and the house was in great shape when we got back. Definitely would rebook and recommend!”


“Trinity is very conscientious.”


“Madelyn was an excellent sitter for Frito! She was very communicative and shared pictures. Kept me updated on how she was doing throughout our trip. And the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely hope to book her again!”


“Michael clearly loves dogs and he made sure our dogs were entertained and cared for. He even cleaned up before he left which was very helpful since we didn’t want to come back and clean after a long trip.”


“Emrys was fantastic with my senior dog, Mal. He was a great communicator and always let me know what was going on with his schedule/key hand offs, asked questions when he needed, and sent timely updates every day. In the pictures he sent, I could see my dog getting happier and more at ease with him as the days went on. Emrys was courteous and cleanly and did a great job cleaning and changing the bed sheets for the sitter that arrived after him. My only tip for others is that Emrys does have an active life outside of his work and isn't the type of sitter that stays in every night with a book or a film. So, be upfront in your consultation if you have expectations for when you'd like him to be home for lights out. He's very respectful and communicative as long as he knows what you're wanting.”


“Brad did an amazing job watching my anxious dog Scooby and my cat Tuna for the weekend. He was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and had their needs met, like reinforcing training and ensuring plenty of playtime and pets. He even took my dog on an adventure to the woods, which my dog loves. Would definitely have him watch my pets anytime!”

“Our cats and dog seemed right at home with Katelyn, and we appreciated frequent picture and video updates! We will definitely be re-booking next time we’re out of town.”


“Melissa did a fabulous job taking care of our dogs cat and home while we were away on vacation. She is friendly, attentive, and so thorough in regards to understanding our needs and expectations. We came home to very happy animals and a tidy house. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”


About: I grew up on a small farm with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, pigs, two cows, one Shetland pony, one horse, one goat and a sheep! I LOVE animals and see them as family. Your pets will be treated with the same tenderness, attentiveness and enthusiasm that I share with my own fur babies. I currently am the proud mama to Sascha, a sweet shy German Shepherd and Cassius, a highly energetic border collie. I also have a "cat-dog", Mowgli. I know the level of trust it takes to leave your animal in the care of a new person and will ensure you have a thorough meet and greet before any booking with me. I am a stickler for details and will follow care directions to the letter. Exercise is a priority in our family and there will be no half-hearted walks on my watch! I look forward to meeting you and your animal babies.❤️

“Emily took on a 13 day 2 dog housesitting job! Definitely a good sized task with a young extra energetic cattle dog and a senior Pitbull. She had her hands full, but she persevered and everyone found a routine that worked. She took good care of the pets and our home. She was super considerate and very respectful. Thanks Emily! We know it wasn’t a walk in the park but you did great!”


“Lauren did a great job taking care of our dog! Sent lots of updates throughout our trip and was able to give Cowboy his meds with no issue. Always looked happy in the pictures we were sent!”


“Chunteva was great with our two pups, will use again and would recommend!”


“I would give 100 stars if I could. Ashlyn is so calm and patient with my old, stubborn but also goofy and loving German Shepherd. She is very knowledgeable on different dog mannerisms and innately knows how to handle his obnoxious behavior and also encourages his good behavior with positive reinforcement. I would highly recommend Ashlyn!”


About: I have lots of experience with farm animals, as well as more exotic ones like large reptiles and snakes, to simple household pets! I’ve cared for animals that have special diets or need daily medication. My days are fairly flexible! I have three kids in school Monday through Friday, my husband is home weekends, so I’m up early and can work with your schedule. I take the safety of caring for your animal very seriously, all precautions will be handled as such. If you’ll need… -Leashing/Harness -Gates Locked -Kenneling -House Alarms set -Etc.

Bronwen N.
“Bronwen is a very caring, calm, and dependable sitter! She understands different personality types and how to help cater to each animals individual needs. She takes the time to listen to the owners (as well as the animals) to make sure her time with them can be a fun, beneficial experience for everyone involved. I know that Una and Lemieux are in terrific hands whenever she is sitting for us. The thoughtful updates and occasional photos she sends always brighten my day. I highly recommend Bronwen for all of your pet-sitting and walking needs!”
