1. Kendra S.

“We have used Kendra multiple times and our dog loves her. Kendra communicates well and sends pictures and updates. I would definitely recommend her.”




2. Joanne L.
“Joanne was very communicative, took great care of our critters, was very accommodating with some last minute changes, and comes VERY recommended from us. Thank you for taking care of our fur-family!”


3. Mari T.

“Mari is awesome! So good with our senior cat and senior dog. Very patient and cleaned up messes with no complaints. Very reliable and really care about our pets.”


4. Kelsi C.

“Kelsi is very communicative during her stay/visits. Very attentive to what our dog needs. Highly recommend her services and will continue to use in the future!”


5. Courtney M.
“I can’t recommend Courtney enough as a dog sitter! They have a natural way with dogs, and my dog Rogue (who is a busy golden retriever) who can be a little crazy, absolutely adores her and loves to see her. Every time I leave my dog in Courtney’s care, I know they’re in the best hands. Courtney not only ensures my dog is well-fed and cared for but also takes the time to play with them and give them plenty of love and attention to burn off energy. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Courtney is the perfect choice.”

8. Lauren T.

“Lauren is great! I’ve used her a few times and my dogs really enjoy her. I don’t have to worry at all about them while she’s sitting for me and it’s such a relief to be able to take a trip and know my kids are safe and well cared for. She goes above and beyond for them.”

“Isaac is a huge animal person and is very patient with all kinds of pets. He has watched my elderly cat on many occasions and has done a fantastic job at caring for her and setting my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Isaac to look after your furry friends.”


10. Sonya J.
“Sonya has been watching our pets (Cats and Dogs) for years now and does an absolutely wonderful job. All of our pets get so excited to see her when she arrives. She takes the time to play fetch with our dog and gives extra snuggles to our cat. She has experience taking care of special need animals. She also handled giving our dog her medication on time which was important for her diagnosis. Overall Sonya is by far our go to sitter, she is so caring and goes above and beyond what is asked to give our pets the best experience. We can leave town knowing our pets are cared for as if they were her own pets”

13. Benjamin H.
About: Hey! My name is Ben. I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I was 10! I’m a firefighter so I have plenty of days off during the week to help and assist when people need! I’m super easy going and will allow booking and cancellations at short notice. I currently watch 3 different dogs of my friends when needed so I figured I’d branch out and help more! I am a firefighter! So my schedule allows for maybe days off during the week and weekends being I typically only work 3 days a week! I’m able to follow and rules that anyone has! I love to spoil and make sure puppers get all the love and affection that they need!

16. Elizabeth R.

“We just got back from a 6-day trip and we had Elizabeth house sit for us to take care of our cockapoo Cooper. She actually showed up early and sent us updates several times a day. Elizabeth was very responsive to questions, and it would appear that Cooper was very well taken care of when we were gone. It was such a relief to us to know that things were good back home. We will be asking Elizabeth to help us out again for sure. Bruce and Kris”


17. Merri (MJ) F.
About: Retired military veteran with a soft spot for dogs! I've had pups my whole life and love keeping them happy, safe, and spoiled while you’re away. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog. With two big dogs of my own and a flexible, retired schedule, I’m available most days, evenings, and weekends to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or keeping your dog company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and give you peace of mind while you’re gone. I tailor my care based on your pet’s needs and the type of visit. For walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making it a fun, positive outing. For quick stopovers, I make sure your pet gets a potty break, fresh water, a little play or cuddle time, and anything else they need to feel content. When staying in your home, I keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible—feeding, walks, downtime, and companionship—while also keeping your space clean and respected. Whether it’s a short visit or an overnight stay, your pet gets my full attention and care.


18. Amanda W.

“Amanda was awesome! She did a great job taking care of our dog and cats and watching our house while we were gone. She has great communication and I know our animals were loved and well taken care of.”


19. Kendra G.

“Kendra is a very responsible woman, she has had pets around her all her life. She adopted Charlie about a year ago. He was a reservation dog. That was very timid and shy, and she turned him around into a well controlled and loving dog. And she has watched our animals, which is two dogs and two cats quite often for us and has done a very good job. I would highly recommend her.”


20. Hallie V.
“Hallie has been an animal lover for as long as I remember. She had always had pets of her own. She has a special connection to all animals. They just seem to gravitate to her. She has always pet sat for friends and family and they always know their pets will be well cared for and probably a little spoiled. I would recommend Hallie to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.”
