“Carissa was awesome. I loved the pictures she took of my babies when we were gone and she made sure they got what they needed and treated them as her own. Thank you , thank you!!”
“Taylor was great! Our dogs can be a little tricky, but she did great with them! She was very punctual, provided lots of information after each visit, and made sure to keep us updated!”
“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”
About: I have lived with animals of all kinds for as long as I remember, ever since I was about 5 I would help my parents feed and take care of the animals, and I still help with many thing weither it's bathing, taking on walks, giving hair cuts, giving vaccinations, cutting nails, or giving medication of all sorts. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I have to wait till 4:00 to love your fur-babys as much as you do. I will give your fur-babys the same care and love as I give my pets at home, while also meeting your specific care expectations to keep your fur-babys safe and happy.
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for a while, and am able to care for more than just dogs and cats. I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses. I grew up on a farm and am capable of doing some heavy-lifting. I have always had a passion for animals and their well-being! I currently have my own dog and obviously take care of her every day and so I am unable to do overnights. I also currently have a full-time job that fluctuates from 1st shift to 2nd shift, but I’ve beenable to work around my schedule in the past and will absolutely do it again to make sure I can take the time to take care of your critters. How I take care of your animals will always be based on what you tell me works for you and your fur babies. I will always take careful consideration towards their needs.
About: All my life Ive always had pets, I was the kid who had dogs instead of friends. Im a dedicated pet owner. I care for all walks of life, from being a cna to working at a daycare. Helping and caring for animals and people is what I love! I often babysit friends and families animals whenever needed. I’m a stay at home mom of a one year old and two labs! Just looking to stay active and make a little spending money. I have a 10 year old yellow lab who is a rescue and a 2 year old black lab that is a trained hunting dog.

Madison C.
“My daughter has always had a passion for animals since she was a little girl. For the longest time, she wanted to be a vet just to have a career involving animals. She spends so much time learning about her own animals and what’s best for them. She has spent so much time to ensure their health and happiness. Her compassion has always extended other people’s animals as well. Whenever we visit other people’s homes she has always gravitated towards their animals in hopes of befriending them. She will absolutely be your pet’s best friend!”
