“Summer was great with our dogs! We received updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with a house full of 4 cats a poodle . Through the years from child to adult hood I’ve grown up around big dogs like German Shepards pure breed . Mixed medium dogs rescues . Since being on my own for the past 8 years . I wish I could have a dog , but I live in an apartment and could never keep my baby cooped up . So until I have my own house I am more than happy to offer that type of service to other animal lovers who have that “guilt” leaving for work vacation , a night away or a spontaneous trip ! I currently own 4 cats myself and they keep me busy ! Don’t let “crazy” cat lady fool you ! Haha anyone who has cats knows what I mean . Animals are kind. They are lovers . They don’t always get the best chance at life. So whether you are upset to leave for work all day because you have to work extra to feed your family . Or rescued a shy , scared animal . I am able to put your worries at ease because we all want what we can’t have ! And if I can help you . Make sure you feel confident and secure knowing your pet is in loving hands . We all need a little help sometimes . And we all need kindness to grow . I’ve been around all different types of animals . Never have I ever met an animal that didn’t want to be loved cared for and feel safe . I’m very flexible and I have no problem with last minute plans . I’m pretty easy going when it comes to routine . Bc I want to make sure everyone’s fed , had used to bathroom and is comfy cozy waiting for their family to come home and greet them ! It’s like the vip treatment for them . Little kings and queens !!! As of now i am only able to offer overnights at a clients house . I have 4 kitties but an old man 13 years old . As much as id love to have a friend over I can’t risk my little man , being hurt , scared , stressed or depressed . But I am more than willing to stay over as cats are easy to care for . And I have a great family that would help me if i needed my animals taken care of . I provide activities bc i love to move. I love the parks . Long walks . Pup cups ! Soft caring voice like you would a child . They may not be able to say what they want or need but you develop a sense of if this was me how would I want someone to treat me or my animal if I wasn’t around . Are they safe . Are they really truly being taken care of . I hate that feeling of not truly being able to trust someone with your babies if you are away or just at work . They stay on our minds like our children . They need love security care and protection just like us humans . Animals are just calming . They just always love you and who doesn’t love …. Love.
“Kimberly was an amazing dog sitter for our two pups! She followed all of our instructions, communicated with us while we were away with pics and updates and even did some light housework!!! We will def be hiring her the next time we go away!”
“Emilee was great. Very conscientious and took excellent care of our 3 dogs. Was also helpful to ensure the dogs were cared for when my return flight was significantly delayed”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my babies! She was so patient with my bashful girl. She was punctual and thoughtful. Absolutely perfect for the job!!”
“100% would reccomend Jess. All throughout the day she would update me on what was going on with Bailey, I didn't even ask her to do that, she did it all on her own which was really nice. Also, sent me pictures of my dog. So if anybody is looking for a pet sitter, I would vouch 100% that Jess would be a great fit. Thank you Jess for taking care of Bailey while I was out for the day!”
“This the second time Rachel house sat my 2 1/2 year old, high energy yellow lab. This time for a full week. I can't say enough nice things about her. She took tremendous care of her and exercising her all over. Brought her toys and constantly kept in touch with plenty of pictures. Left the house very clean and organized. I would highly recommend Rachel.”
“I cannot recommend Bryan highly enough! He cared for my two dogs, including my elderly dog with special needs, for ten days and did an exceptional job. My older dog requires extra attention and patience, and Bryan handled everything with kindness and professionalism. He kept me updated regularly, followed all care instructions, and made sure both dogs were happy and comfortable. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely book him again in the future!”
About: I have experience watching dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have watched reactive dogs as well as some dogs with disabilities. I am very passionate, communicative, respectful, and flexible sitter. I am currently working a full time job but work remote 3 out of 5 work days. This allows me to be fully attentive to your dog on those remote days. I’m also available during the weekends and in the evenings! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pooches company. With that being said, I can easily separate them as well if need be. Additionally at a clients home, communication, making your dog comfortable, and safety are my number one priorities.
“Tina is a gem! She took such wonderful care of our apartment and Kiwi and Rio. She sent us photos; kept us apprised and left everything sparkling clean and organized. She’s trustworthy and genuinely cared about our pets’ wellbeing as well as being willing to stay in our tiny home. We will definitely work with Tina again and highly recommend her! Thank you 🙏”
About: I had dogs all my life. I'm compassionate, energetic and patient. I am organized & committed to provide the best care possible.

I would need to know if your pet has any special needs with medication. I would also like for you to write down everything I need to know regarding their daily rountine. I want the both of us to be able to trust each other and feel comfortable. I want to provide the best care for your dog. When boarding, I only board one at a time. Walks would be 3x a day. I do have a fenced in patio for your dog to relax.
