“Thank you again for the excellent care for Atlas and Kaia! Atlas’s surgery was unexpected but we kept our travel plans because we knew you would take great care of him as always!”

“Marissa is my go-to girl that I always request to stay with my 2 fur babies when I travel out of town. She is the BEST!! Always so communicative and truly treats them like they are her own. I’m so grateful for her and the love she shows my home and my babies.”

“Chaselyn was WONDERFUL! We unexpectedly needed a sitter within only a days notice. Chaselyn worked around our insanely busy Sunday schedule to come do a meet and greet with our puppers before coming later in the day to spend the night with them 🤍 She sent photos and videos, made sure the pups got good play time and loves, and kept our minds at ease while we were gone. We will DEFINITELY be rebooking with her!!”

“Sandra, Thanks for the great care you showed Poppy on her first ever 24 hours without me. She enjoyed her playtime with you and I was so pleased with your awesome communication during my time away. Thank you for making it less stressful for me and so easy for her. Your years of pet caring are fantastic. Jennifer”

“Gabrielle was wonderful while my husband and I were away for the weekend! She was very communicative and incredibly patient with our cat, who isn’t always the friendliest with guests. She was also very understanding of our dog Teddy’s anxiety and took great care of him, even when he had a few anxious accidents. Our home was exactly as we left it, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We would be happy to have her watch our pets again!”

“Summer was fantastic. We were gone for 11 days and she took excellent care of our home, our dog & chickens. Thank you so much! We were able to enjoy our vacation with worry or hassle.”

“Linda is amazing! We were out of town for a week and had to leave our precious dogs, Harley and Teddy, at home. It was our first time being away from them for so long, and it wasn’t easy. Linda cared for them with so much love, and the boys absolutely loved her. We even came home to a spotless house! We truly recommend her services. Thank you again, Linda — you’re the best! ♡”


About: Here’s some Info about me: I am 18, graduated class of 2025, currently just trying to start my life and figure out my goals and ambitions. I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals, also including farm animals and reptiles, I have also helped facilitate 3 Labrador litters. Caring for animals is a huge passion of mine so I am grateful to have the opportunity to spend my time doing this. I am super flexible and under standing. I’m currently working part time in the evenings. I have weekends off. I sometimes work Saturday but I will never double book if I know it won’t work with my schedule, the pets in my care are always my first priority. I love to stay active, so taking animals outside on walks and runs is also enjoyable for me if that’s what your pet needs, I’m super accommodating aswell.
“Kristina and winter are awesome. Kristina understood the assignment of working dogs and killed it. Good communication, problem solver, and the dogs were still alive when I returned. Winter provided a job for Siouxxsie and Saxxon which kept them busy looking out for him. Definitely a keeper house sitting duo”

“Emily came for a meet and greet of our pets about a week before we left. We could tell they were immediately comfortable with her. Emily stayed in contact with us while we were away, was reliable and punctual. She followed feeding and care instructions particular to our situation. The house was clean. Our pets were happy to see us when we got home after a week, but they already miss Emily, too!”

“Josh is great! He is respectful and responsible. Josh provided pictures of walks with our dog and closed gates which was reassuring to us while we were away. Our home was clean and tidy upon return. I highly recommend Josh and hope to book him in the future.”

“Dennis and Judy were wonderful with our 3 girls (2 dogs and a cat)! We got daily notifications, as discussed. They left the house exactly as it was when we left. They even washed and changed the sheets and towels, which we did not expect them to do. We highly recommend them. We have already booked them for a second stay.”
“Allea took care of my two cats for a week, staying in my house, and she did a wonderful job. They're both shy but she won them over quickly and, on my return, they seem calm and happy, very different than in the past when I've gone and returned. She communicated with pics daily and left the house perfect. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting. needs.”

“Anna was a wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Yuki, while we were away for a week. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat who had clearly been well cared for and enjoyed Anna’s company—she cuddled with her, which is always good to see! Anna was attentive, responsible, and left our home in excellent condition. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy sitter.”

“Andrea did awesome with our two dogs for the weekend trip we took. We were a little nervous for our one dog that takes time to warm up to people she doesn’t know but by the second day with her, she was able to pet her and made her feel comfortable to come up to her for pets. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“Kristen was fantastic! She was so kind, wonderful with our cats, left our home very clean and tidy, and she sent wonderful pictures. I felt so comfortable with her in our home and with our cats and would absolutely book with her again.”

“Ebony was such a trooper when she stayed with our pup while we were getting married. Everything that could have gone wrong did, including washing machine floods, huge storms and power outages. We can home to a clean house and happy doggy. We are so grateful that Obi was well taken care of and Ebony seemed un-phased by all the craziness going on. She was easy to get in touch with and did a great job keeping us updated. We would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Ebony!”

About: I recently had two rescue heeler mixes. We competed in agility, and did herding, barn hunt, and parkour. I loved to hike, walk, run, and be active with my dogs. Now that they're gone, I have an open space in my heart for time with yours. I walk and run or hike several days out of the week. I'd love to bring your well-behaved dog along for their enjoyment and my company! Because I live up a steep gravel driveway, I prefer to meet in town or at your place to take your dog for a walk or run. But if they need to come to my place for sitting, I have a fenced yard with some agility equipment. I also have a dog door, to let them have free access to my .5 acre fenced yard. I do have a cat, so if your dog comes to my place, it will have to get along with her.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I love giving them the care and attention they need. Animals always brighten my day so it brings me great joy when I can return the favor. My schedule is wide open. I do other side gigs but I’m very flexible and can work around whatever time you or your pet needs me. My goal is for your home and your pets to look just like they did when you left. I will treat your home and your pets as if they were a friends/family members, which to me means respecting your privacy and giving your pet a warm, loving presence while you’re away.

Chase did a fantastic job catering to our senior diabetic cat. It was so comforting to us that Chase had the expertise and skills to inject his insulin and keep him on a proper feeding schedule. Chase's competence put our mind's at ease and made our trip so much better - THANKS!
