“McKeznie was great with Scarlett! She was very attentive during our meet & greet and seemed to care about keeping our pup comfortable. Scarlett seemed to have a great time!”
“Hailey was amazing with our six wonderful dogs. She played in the pool with the three who just loves the pool and playing catch ! Lobo our husky just loves her and Sage enjoyed her company ! Will have her over again very soon.”
“Although it was only one night, we know Kimberly took great care of our boys and showed them love like they were her own! She sent pics, asked questions, and let them cuddle with her haha. Will be booking with her from now on!”
“Jasmine did an amazing job with my dogs while she took care of them for a 5 day trip! I was nervous since this was my first time having someone other than family take care of them while I was away. I have two dogs with very different personalities and temperaments. One is very friendly and never meets a stranger. The other is very nervous, timid and takes time to warm up or trust someone new. I booked Jasmine for my dates of travel as well as a few walks prior to allow my dogs to get comfortable with her. As I expected, one loved her right away, the other was not accepting at first. Jasmine was so kind, caring, patience, and calm with my dogs. She made every effort to make my timid/scared dog comfortable with her. Jasmine was professional and knew exactly what actions to take to allow my dog to warm up to her. They both seemed to enjoy their time with Jasmine. I also received regular updates and photos while I was away. I was extremely impressed with her level of kindness and confidence in caring for my dogs!! I would absolutely recommend Jasmine and plan to book her again for any future travel plans or just to take my dog on walks when I have a busy schedule.”
“Once again, Heather was absolutely wonderful with our doggies! They were so excited to see her, which is always reassuring to know that they have good memories of her time with them. We feel so fortunate to have found such a loving, caring and responsible sitter for our beloved four legged family members 💝🙏🏼💝”
“Lois did a fabulous job taking care of Hugh, our large dog. She stayed in our home while we were on vacation and sent us multiple updates and pics of our pup, plus she left our home spotless! We will definitely be using her again for our future pet-sitting needs.”
“Makala was awesome! She took great care of our pups, was very communicative and professional. We felt very comfortable and will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend.”
About: I have experience with pet sitting for about four years now. This includes cat sitting, dog sitting/walking, and even working at a doggy daycare for a year and a half! I currently work very early morning and am usually done around 12:30 pm. This means I am free the rest of the day for visits, walks, and such! Like stated earlier, I have many years of experience of pet sitting from different clients and work places. I have gained knowledge from each place that I plan to use for the safety and well being of any future clients! pets
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: Ive taken care of dogs all my life and even have 2 of my own. When my oldest was only 3 weeks old I took her in because her mom rejected her. This included bottle feeding every few hours and help going potty. I can easily crate train small pups and even have experience with bigger dogs. I am currently in school and work a few hours a week; however, I am home for the majority of the day so I will be able to provide care as often or as little as needed. My apartment complex has a fenced dog park that I take my dogs daily to. My 2 dogs are very people and dog friendly so your pet will be kept company.
“Lamaris always does a wonderful job with my pups, and always leaves the home clean and my dogs happy. He is great at responding to messages and following instructions. Would highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of dogs on and off my whole life. I love dogs and once had a beautiful Samoyed with one blue and brown eye. I'm currently working part - time so I'd have plenty of time for spending time with and taking care of animals. I'm pretty flexible and would enjoy it immensely. I would follow any instructions for your pet whether it be walking, playing, feeding or administering any medicine your fur baby might need as well as lots of love.
“We absolutely hit the lotto with Honey! She did an amazing job with our babies and took great care of our home. She updated us regularly and definitely gave us peace of mind knowing that our babies were loved and cared for. Very kind and responsible. Highly recommended!”
“Eva was available at last minute and she took on the job of caring for my fur baby in our home and she was awesome. My puppy was in good spirits and happy upon returning home, everything was clean and exactly as it was left. I will book Eva again and again without hesitation. Thank you Eva from my family and I.”
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'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.

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.”
Mary B.
“Mary was a wonderful house sitter! She went out of her way to accommodate the dogs. Even the cat came out from behind the bed to see her and that never happens!”
Sarah F.
“So wonderful! Thank you so much for all the thoughtfulness and care”
