About: People’s pets are family, and they should be taken care of accordingly! I’ll give updates during each service so you know your pet is taken care of properly. Drop ins - I’ll sit and play with your animal for the allotted time to make sure they aren’t lonely all day, because who likes that? Will send an update with a picture if you’d like. Walking - will walk down any trail that is close by, take the scenic route. If roads can be avoided they will be. No animals should be near roads as it could be dangerous. Will send pictures with updates of how much your pet is loving their walk. Sitting/Boarding - Finding a pet sitter is stressful, I am here to make it easy. If you would like to board your pet with me I would more than happy to take care of them. We have a dog ourselves and he is the sweetest! Will take special requests as well during the services! I’ll love your pet while you are away. I do work full time in an office 9-5pm. Allowing for plenty of time after work or on the weekends to spend with your pet. We live on a farm with plenty of space for your pet to play and explore under our supervision. We have 2 other dogs that get along great with other dogs and will keep your pet company!


4. Katelyn W.

“Katelyn is amazing! Her communication was top-notch. She will be at the top of our list next time we need care for our pets. She gave us full reports on potty times and feeding. I felt so at ease with her in our home. It was great to be able to relax and enjoy our time away from home knowing that our fur babies were in good hands.”


5. Andrea S.

“Wonderful! Andrea was a pleasure to work with. She's reliable, and friendly. My weeklong vacation was wonderful because I did not have to worry about my fur baby. She left my house meticulously clean. Highly recommend her!”


6. Jade M.

“Jade was wonderful with our girl, Stella. I was nervous about leaving her, but Jade was so sweet and knowledgeable about dogs she put my fears to rest. It was nice not to have to worry about our dog while on vacation.”


7. Laberta W.
“Laberta is an absolute gem!!! I have a high energy, trouble making Vizsla puppy (named Ruby) that I thought only a mother could love . But Laberta showers Ruby with love and attention … so much so that my pup gets so excited to see her that she doesn’t even notice that I’m leaving for the weekend ! I know my dog is high maintenance but Laberta takes her in with loving, open arms … she spends quality time with Ruby outside walking and playing . (I know because she sends updates and pictures which I love because it makes for worry-free getaways 😊 … and that is priceless ) . I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter for my fur baby ❤️”


8. CHELSEA M.
“Chelsea is amazing with our animals, plants & kitten Howie. We have had her watch our animals on multiple occasion & she goes above & beyond. She makes sure they are not just taken care of but loved. I never felt guilty leaving my animals with her when I know they’ll have fun!”


9. Lyrah W.
“Lyrah has taken care of our dogs many times. There actually isn't anyone else that we trust to care for our animals. Lyrah is very detail oriented and so very dependable. If she says she will do something, you better believe she will. This probably goes without saying, but Lyrah is a big time animal lover. She will care for your pets as if they are her own. She is excellent with communication and providing updates and sending photos. We are so happy to have Lyrah so close to us!”


10. Alissa G.

“Alissa was an excellent sitter for our crew! She was responsive, easy to work with and left my house immaculate. I will be hiring her again and recommending her to everyone I know!”


11. Pamela M.

“Pam was great with our anxious pup! We appreciated the updates and all of her efforts caring for Popcorn. She took great care of our dog and home while we were away :)”


12. Todd G.
About: I have had pets my entire life, I have watched family and friends pets for years. Neighbors rely on us . Worry free boarding here. Treat them all a our own . I am currently home most of the time . Retirement /disability. Back issues . So potty breaks are no problem. Morning walks , evening walks most days I treat both of our animals as family members, and would be more than willing to provide that extra care for yours also. Lots of personal time ! That’s what counts


13. Kelly S.


“Above and beyond in every way! I could not have asked for anything more out of Kelly's stay with my dogs & chickens. We would be thrilled to have her back again in the future.”


14. Desiree M.
About: I am not kidding when I say I have years of experience. I currently work at a vet, so I’m learning everyday about pets. But this experience started years ago, watching dogs, cats , hedgehogs even since age 12. I have had my share of animal stories. I have experience with sick animals so administering medicine would not be a problem. I can go on multiple walks with your animal (usually dogs but my sister walks her cat ;) And if wanted, I do run so if that is something your animals would want, we could do that. I love animals , so I will make time for them whenever I can . Whether it be a night watching your animals or just a walk to help get their energy out, I’m down for it If you just need someone to keep your animal company, I can join it for a snuggle session. Or if your dog has lots of energy, we can go for a run to get those zoomies out.


15. Heather S.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I knew very young that I wanted to work with animals. I have a great love and compassion for them. I will take great care of your babies! I have a lot of experience caring and working with dogs. I have hobby farm experience (dogs, cats, chickens and a horse) as well. I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.


16. Caroline K.

“Had a great experience with Caroline! Took good care of our dogs while we were out of town and very easy to communicate with. Would recommend!”


17. Sophia M.

“Sophia took excellent care of Harlee. We have a FI collar for her and she had her exercise steps completed before 3pm. She was able to get tons of exercise and lots of love. Can’t wait to use Sophia again 💕”


18. Shelby D.
About: I grew up with labs my whole life so I’m very use to large dogs! The endless shedding doesn’t scare me away! I truly love all dog breeds though and I’m willing to open up to even the moody ones! I work full time 8:30-5:00 but I do have an hour lunch that I can make work for potty breaks and short walks! I can also stop by before and after work and I’m willing to stay during night weeknights too on occasion. I have a fiancé and two kids so I prefer to be home during week nights but with a notice in advance I can make it work. I am a bit OCD with my own pet care. My cat has an enclosure for his litter box with foam flooring for underneath the enclosure. I keep a broom, a shop vac and a swifter all just for his area. He has special prescription food and I keep his diet on a schedule. He gets lots of love daily and I plan provide the same care for your pets!




19. Mark M.

“Mark is outstanding. Not only did he take great care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats, but he was an excellent communicator. He sent a full written report each day and sent so many pictures. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. He was very helpful when we almost missed our connecting flight and reassured me that he would be there for us if we did miss it. We travel a lot and I will never use another pet sitter if I can help it. Mark took care of my pets like I take care of them and that’s saying a lot bc I’m a bit crazy for my furbabies. Highly recommend!”


20. Reeve Z.

“Prior to house sitting for us, Reeve went above and beyond to meet with us a make sure she knew how to care for our pups. She asked good questions and made us feel confident in her skills. While we were away, Reeve was communicative and took great care of our pups and home.”
