“I would highly recommend Laura! At the first meet and greet my puppy wasn’t feeling his best and threw up twice, but she didn’t flinch, wasn’t put off, and was very caring. A few days later she even suggested a second visit so he could get to know her a bit better with a trial walk! All subsequent walks went AMAZING and she definitely helped lift his spirits as he was missing his family. I could tell through her messages and pictures that with each walk he missed us less and was having a great time with Laura! If you can, book Laura - you and your pet won’t regret it!!!”
“Brenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!”
“Very simple transaction. The pups really liked, Abigail💜”
“Molly was very friendly & professional. She arrived timely each day of the drop-in visits & provided pictures of the dogs each visit (we have 3). Would use her again!”
“The dog always looks so happy after Amelia’s visits, I can tell they had fun together! Amelia send the cutest pet pictures, they just make my day brighter!”
“We were so happy to have Kare drop in to visit our cats while we were away. She kept us up to date and even sent some pictures. We will 100% book her again for our next trip!”
About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.
“Cindy went above and beyond with our three cats. She was communicative with questions when it came to our special needs cat and was extremely alert and attentive. Also kudos to her because our youngest can be a bit of a challenge, but she handed them all perfectly. I would definitely trust her again with our pets.”
“Christen is awesome, communication was great and got daily pictures of my dog. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough about how much I love having April check on my boys. She knows their routine and it makes me feel so comfortable knowing that they are taken care of when I’m away. I highly recommend her!”
“Kelli was super sweet with our golden retriever! She had great communication and you can tell she genuinely cares about animals. I will book her if we ever need drop ins again without hesitation! Thanks Kelli!”
“Katie was great with our kitties. Very flexible and accommodating with some last minute needs and they seemed to be in great hands.”
“Jordyn was a terrific cat sitter for us when we were out of town for an extended period of time. She is dedicated, responsible, punctual, and great at communicating any questions or issues that arrive. Our cat loves her! We would hire her again with no hesitation!”
“Where do I begin other than saying 5-stars off the bat! This was our first time leaving our cat and using Rover and Alexandra was absolutely phenomenal. She was extremely courteous, kind and punctual and super communicative from the initial interview and meeting throughout the entire time we were away. She played, fed and took care of all of our cats needs, and the photos she sent were very welcomed so we could see our cat while away. We couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough and we will 110% be using her services again if she is available. Thank you again!”
About: I am an avid dog trainer and owner. I have raised dogs for the past 5 years, while traveling around the county with my own dogs and those of others for AKC shows. I am a part of a local 4H club, recent graduate, and have attended prestigious events such as the Westminster Dog Show. During this time I have been responsible for dogs own by other people. I have skills with basic and advanced obedience and conformation. Dogs that I have cared for range from puppies to senior dogs. I have a great ability to make connections with all breeds of dogs. I am used to a daily routine of letting dogs out, feeding, exercising, and training. This routine comes very natural for me. I enjoy working with dogs. I am able to keep a balanced and safe schedule for all pets. I am used to meeting the needs for multiple animals. I show responsibility by following clear directions that have been given to me in order to care for the pet.
“Jackie did a great job watching our pups - she kept us updated and sent pics, which we really enjoyed. She was also courteous and respectful of our house. We were really happy with the job she did.”

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, cows, any animal you could think of! I absolutely love taking care of all animals. I’m not working at the moment so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets and we have a farm, so we have plenty of space to walk, and get exercise. We have a big farmhouse, so there’s plenty of space for your dog to be happy and healthy in our home and will get plenty of playtime and exercise as well.
About: Hello! I’m Kacie. Just like you, and almost everyone else, I adore dogs/cats/ and everything in between. I’ve got tons of energy and patience for them, I grew up on animal planet and animals give me so much serotonin. I love sticking to a schedule and I’m very accommodating and communicative. I work 4 days a week as a hairdresser. I am available every evening after 6 I am available all day Monday and Wednesday, and Sunday. I’ve got a fenced in yard for the pups to play, I have cats inside but they’re comfortable with dogs. If your dog isn’t, the yard will do just fine, or the cats can stay upstairs. My house is plenty big enough.

Tierstin B.
“I’ve known Tierstin for 8 years, every single year I’ve noticed her passion for animals continuously growing stronger. With always having an animal/companion by her side. Her cats are her babies. She would do absolutely anything for them. I’ve seen her train an 8 week old puppy how to sit and shake. Tierstin is a very determined person when it comes to animals. All she does is talk about animals, how can she help them, how can she train them or be there for them, etc. I would trust my own animals in her care and know my animals are safe with her.”
