“Samantha and Jesse did an excellent job of caring for our cat during a long trip we took over the holidays. They were very attentive and kept us updated with pictures and information. Our cat was well cared for and they brought in packages we received while we were gone. I would definitely book again.”
“Chloe was very easy to work with for drop-in visits for our cat while we were on vacation for 5 days. She took great care of Lily. Chloe is very dependable and let us know how Lily was doing each day by sending pictures and comments. We’d recommend Chloe to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
About: I enjoy working with animals. My son is a 10 year old , energetic helper, who is excited to meet new pets and play with them too. We are a pet friendly house and would love to provide you with opportunities to be away from home without worrying about your fur buddies. I work full time and am away from 7:30 to 4:30 each work day. We do have a dog door for small dogs to let themselves out to the fenced area during this time. Larger dogs will be walked at lunch time. I have a small fenced area with a doggie door for our medium to small dogs to lounge inside or outside and use the "fire hydrant" as needed. There is an open play area inside for group play and area for kenneling for over night if needed.
“Thank you Mary for giving the hubby and I a weekend of fun without having to worry. You went above and beyond to make sure our bunch and our home was safe and taken care of. Look out for that re-booking, we are planning more trips. Now that we know who we can count on 🥰”
About: I have taken care of a multitude of my own and others Furr-babies across the country. From puppies, seniors, special needs and disabilities. There is nothing I either haven’t experienced or am not willing to learn. I believe that just like us every animal has their own preferences and needs. I am committed to making sure they get what makes them not only safe but happy and comfortable. I do this daily with my own pack. Yours would be welcome and treated the same! My daily/weekly/yearly routine is fully committed to taking care of our four legged family. I have had pets since I was 8 years old and have tried my best to increase my knowledge and care for them year after year. I have always been the person to take care of my co-workers, friends and families Furr-babies during emergencies, vacations, or spontaneous events. I want to extend my love, knowledge, and flexibility to help others. Hopefully they won’t have to worry as much about whether or not their little family members have a safe place to go. I will love each and everyone to the highest of my ability! I go above and beyond for my pups and yours. Safety is always my number one priority!! Even though we have a fenced area for them to run and play they will NEVER be left unattended outdoors. They are also never left unattended during treat or meal time. Accidents can happen to anyone and the first step in prevention is awareness. When we leave the house or bed time comes we do crate everyone up for their own safety and our own peace of mind.
“Everything went great! Highly recommended!”
“I am so pleased with the way my baby was taken care of! So much communication and you could see the care in the videos! My baby was so happy! I can’t say enough. I highly recommend!”
“We appreciate Elizabeth's kindness and understanding of shy pets. She took excellent care of our bossy kitty and her very shy sister. Our shy kitty even befriended her. We highly recommend!”
“Ashley did a great job. I put in the request last minute, she responded quickly and made it work. All 3 dogs loved her, communication and pictures were great, and we'll definitely be using her services again. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Sabine was absolutely FANTASTIC with our three large breed dogs. Our 11 month old Great Dane had just had surgery, and Sabine took extra care with her potty breaks and medication. We would absolutely use Sabine's services again.”
About: What is a home without a pet? I have loved and cared for pets most of my life. I don't ever recall a time in my life where I didn't have a pet. My pets are my family and an extension of me and I give them constant love and attention. I will provide loving and attentive care for your fur baby while you are away As a teacher with summers and holidays breaks, pet care naturally fits into my routine by allowing me to dedicate more time to your fur babies. During school breaks, I can offer more extended walks and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to meet your pets' needs without the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5 job. I have been around dogs my whole life. I currently have 5 fur babies at home in all sizes (golden doodle, pit bull, cavapoo, and chihuahuas) which allows me to be comfortable with any size and breed of dog

About: I absolutely LOVE any breed! I have over 10 years experience of caring for dogs. Administering oral medication is no problem! I have a four year old pitbull husky mix named Brody. He is the sweetest boy and loves making new friends! I work from home every week day except for Tuesdays, so I am able to provide more potty breaks and more interaction. However, I do come home for lunch on Tuesdays to check in. I have an XXL dog kennel so if it is needed, that is covered! I leave food and water out for my dog, Brody, at all times. However, Brody is flexible so if we need to adjust for your dog’s feeding schedule we absolutely can!

“I’ve used Chelsea several times to walk my two large dogs . She handles my pets with care and kindness, especially my Goldie who has anxiety. Chelsea is willing to flex to meet the needs of not only my dogs but also my schedule. She has helped me out on short notice on multiple occasions and is consistent with the care she provides. I have no problem recommending her for walks or longer periods of time if you’re looking for someone responsible to help with your fur family!”
