“Jasmine does a thorough and self-directed job of caring for our pets like her own. She even administers medications and extra help to our older special needs kitty. It is a comfort to know they will receive that level of care and comfort while we are away. Everything is always in tip top shape when we return.”


“McKenzie did an amazing job looking after my cat! She was so attentive, caring, and thoughtful, including when there was a tornado watch in the area. My baby is very shy around new people, but warmed up to McKenzie in a day and loved getting snuggles. Thank you!!!”


“Noelle was so great! I have 2 cats and my orange tabby warmed up to her right away. My other cat is very skiddish, but warmed up to her by the 3rd visit, which is amazing! She was awesome about providing pictures and keeping me updated. 10/10 will use her again!”


“Daniel is amazing!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch and take care of my cats! He sent a lot of photos and kept us updated regularly. He really goes above and beyond to make sure your animals are cared for exactly as you wished.”


About: My family has had many pets my whole life, and we currently have 4 cats and 2 dogs. We have had a wide range of dog breeds from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds (our personal favorite) We have also had many pets with some needs such as megaesophagus, heart worms, and hyperthyroidism, so safe to say I am comfortable with administering medications if needed. We have a 2 acre, fully fenced (7ft tall chain link) yard with plenty of room for pups to release energy in a safe environment. I am currently in school part time, and hope to be working part time as well, so having this as a side job will definitely help with getting some extra cash while in school as it is flexible for me and my schedule. At a clients home, I want the pet to be able to stick to their routine as best as possible, as I know some pets thrice on routine. In my home, I want the pet to be able to feel comfortable and respect their space. I do have pets of my own who I also want to have their own comfort, so they won't be intermingaling with one another unless I and the client are 110% comfortable that personalities match, as I can read my pets well.

About: Over 20 years in the Veterinary field and a pet owner my whole life. Farm girl and I love the fur babies! Can’t wait to meet you! I work part time and set my own hours. I Also have family help if needed. Animals are never left more than a couple hours without “out time”. Have small farm, completely fenced and own 2 amazing dogs. Lots of playroom. Kennels available if required. Space outside and inside for needs of animals!

About: I had two small dogs ever since I was 2 years old. I loved playing with them and taking them outside to potty and get some fresh air. I’ve always had a passion for animals other people could tell. My neighbors would ask me to watch over their cats whenever they would go on vacation at the young age of 8 years old. Since then I’ve had 2 cats both since they were kittens. I love playing and spoiling all animals. It brings such joy to watch their energy go up just from some enrichment. I’m an online college student who doesn’t really do much except chill at home with my cat lol. i’m available anytime anyday. Some days i am out of town but my availability is always up to date! I take care of my cat at home by playing with him his favorite toys and lick mats and giving him supervised balcony time. I also scoop his litter boxes 3 times a day as well as deep cleaning his litter box and surrounding weekly and his food bowl after each use. I’m very passionate about animals health and cleanliness. For in home check-ins I will do whatever the client prefers/asks. I can deep clean a litter box, scoop, wash dog beds, clean food/water bowls, give vitamins or medicine and most importantly make sure they get some good play and love!


“Sharon was a lifesaver when I got stranded across the country because of Hurricane Ian. She went above and beyond to make sure my babies were taken care of and my house was safe and secure. I am so grateful to her.”


“Pam D was awesome! We had a death in the family and had to leave the next day for a trip that would have us away for 14 hours. Our sweet cat Simon is not used to being alone for more than a few hours. Pam came the same day I contacted her to meet Simon who took to her right away, just as did we. Pam is very nice and obviously responsible. She was here when she said she would be, she sent us photos of Simon playing and eating and an adorable selfie of the two of them (I don’t know how she got him to pose for that one! Lol). Anyway, we were so relieved knowing Simon was okay while we were away. We absolutely highly recommend Pam. We were totally comfortable trusting her in our home and with our dear Simon. Thank you again Pam. 😊”


About: i’ve been around animals my entire life, so it makes sense why i’d have so much experience and knowledge on caring for dogs and pets of any sort really. I’m currently available all throughout the week except thursday afternoons, i think this would fit my schedule best since i have a part time job Really there’s nothing much to it, if i’m in a clients home i simply follow and and all directions that were put out for me and follow all rules depending on the client and what there comfortable with. i’m very easy going and easy to talk to

About: I've worked on farms growing up, everything from dogs, and cats to chickens, horses and cows. I, myself own a husky, boxer and a cavalier, so I have experience ranging from vastly different breeds and sizes of dogs as well as energy levels. I raised puppies and kittens, as well has fostered and adopted dogs and cats. I've taken care of both senior dogs and cats, as well as more trouble maker types too. I work as an assistant for a DVM and have lots of experience going around my neighborhood taking care of their pets as well, this can be anything from letting them out periodically, walking/playing with dogs, feeding them, and administering medicine. I've pet sat ranging from anywhere between a weekend to a few weeks. I would love to extend my service to others as well, as pets are my passion. I am a part time college student with a lot of free time, so overnight pet care or play time visits 2-3 times a day are not a problem for me. I have myself 3 very friendly dogs, my cavalier spends her night in her crate, an elderly boxer as well as a fun loving husky, about 6, who loves dog parks, dog beaches and most of all, dogs. Everyone is very friendly, spayed/neutered and calm. Our cats are very use to dogs and typically spend most of their time outdoors. They have a large outdoor play area, safely fenced-checked often. Based off preference, they are easily separated and do not need to make contact if desired.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my top priority. They’re like my babies. I have experience with untrained puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. Whether you have a couch, potato or Tasmanian devil they’ll love it at my place. I currently work from home weekdays from 7 AM to 4 PM. I get several breaks and an hour long lunch throughout the day. Dogs are let out every two hours and we go on two walks a day. A 20 minute walk at lunch and an evening walk. Lots of yard and play time after work. I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs of my own. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. This structure helps pets feel secure and reduces anxiety from being in a new place. Each pet has its own designated space for eating and sleeping to prevent any conflicts. I will follow your pet's regular feeding schedule and diet to avoid any digestive upset. I send frequent text or photo updates to keep you connected with your pet's staycation.

About: Being from a farming family and as a Vet Tech, I have cared for Dogs, Cats, Birds, Ducks, Pigs, Cows and Horses. As an adult I have also owned most of those plus guinea pigs, mice, ferrets, guineafowl, koi fish, and many freshwater fish. I love all animals. I was always the person sleeping in the barn to make sure the sick animal was feed hourly. Mon - Sat, I am free all mornings until 2-3pm. Some days after 3-4pm I pickup grandchild and can continue animal services until 9-10pm. Thankyou I will do as instructed with only healthy foods for the animals. My Vet Tech knowledge of care is large. I would care for your pet as if it was my own with love as all animals should be cared for. I have two size pet carriers, small and medium.

Eva M.

“Eva took excellent care of our family dogs. She kept us informed with activities and pictures during each visit. We will likely book her again when we need a sitter.”

Liliana R.
“I was nervous having someone watch my Shihpoo for a few days but Liliana went beyond my expectations. She messaged me daily and sent video clips of my dog. She even knew how to handle her anxiety. My dog was left in great hands with Liliana! I highly recommend her!!! Thank you!!!”


Connie A.
“Connie has cared for my Standard Poodles and birds since November of 2022. There are very few people that I would trust to care for my animals. I trust her wholeheartedly. She has a key to my house and she comes over periodically when I am not able to let my dogs out during the day or occasionally late into the evenings. Connie treats my dogs and birds like they are her own. When we go out of town at the same time and she is not available to care for my animals, I take all of them with us on the trip. Her vet tech background make her even more valuable as a care giver as she can spot aliments and administer meds and medical care that other pet sitters and care givers may not have the knowledge or skills needed to properly care for sick or medicated animals. I am very careful with who I recommend in life- I whole heartedly trust and recommend Connie.”


Sarah F.

“My lab took to Sarah immediately. Her warm, caring personality was very evident immediately. She is adaptable and dependent. I will be using her for a long time.”

“Absolutely amazing! Zachary treated my dog (Shadow) like family. He took time to get to know him, his routines, and quirks. He kept me updated and sent photos. Zachary is compassionate and dedicated. I would whole heartedly recommend him!”


Helen Teresa C.
“I would like to recommend Teresa to pet sit for you. We both volunteered at a local animal rescue which housed over 20 dogs at any given time and she would show up and take care of the dogs, cleaning up behind them, feeding, giving baths and playing with them. We could always count on her to be punctual, never missed a day and she would always bring treats for the dogs. She loved on them as if they were her own. And what really impressed me was her way of tending to a few of the dogs that other volunteers were unsure of - Teresa would very carefully get their trust and make friends with them quickly. We would take them out of the compound for daily walks and Teresa always went further than I did, giving her dogs a little extra time. Be sure, if she is taking care of your animals, they will have her undivided attention and care. Also, she grew up on a farm, so she knows about other animals as well. I have 6 cats myself and will use her for our next vacation.”
