“Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.”

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!

12. Paige B.


“Paige is a great sitter! I used her for the first time this month for ten days. From the first, punctual communication, to the end of her stay in my home, Paige proved to be an excellent dog sitter/home sitter. I received daily pictures and videos of my dog and her dog running through the fields and cuddling on the bed together. Since our original meet and greet, I had total confidence that Paige would be a good fit for taking care of my pup. She is very easy going and understands dogs. To top it all off, she left my home looking better than when I left! I would not hesitate use Paige again.”


13. Elizabeth N.
“Elizabeth LOVES animals. For more than 5 years she has taken care of our Labrador Retrievers, MeMe and Tackle. She’s very conscientious of their well being whether it’s administering meds, preparing their meals or taking multiple walks each day. She’s mindful to pick up their stools and cares for them deeply. Don’t know what we would do without her!”


14. CHELSEA M.
“Chelsea was a god send for me while I was deployed. She watched my German Shepherd for about 7 months for me. She not only took my pup into her home and took care of him but she also met with my dog trainer while I was away and continued his training and kept up on it. When I got home my dog was very well taken care of and all trained up. I could not have asked for better care than what she offered. If you are looking for someone to care for your pet, she is the obvious choice for me.”


15. Kelly S.


“My first time leaving my pet with someone and Kelly made me feel safe the whole time! She offered to help out last minute, and took incredible care of my dog and house full of kitties. She didn’t even get mad when one of them peed on her!!! Would recommend Kelly to absolutely anyone and am so grateful to have her help, it’s hard to find people to trust with your pets but Kelly is definitely one of them <3”
