“Brooke did a wonderful job of taking care of my 2 Aussie's while gone! She arrived at the same time daily and sent pictures to keep me updated! I felt very confident in using her and fully intend to use her again in the future!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even baby cows—raising them with love, responsibility, patience, compassion, kindness and experience from a young age. I do work during the week at Blaine Vet. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I will go home to check on the fur babies during lunch. I have pets of my own, but they will be kept separate from yours unless they are well-acquainted and get along comfortably. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and take bathroom breaks. I welcome pets on the furniture, so your furry companion is free to relax and feel at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention as my own. Additionally, I live in a walkable community, perfect for giving your pet regular walks and outdoor time.

“Wendy took care of my cats while I was away for two weeks! She did amazing and even kept in contact with me through the hurricane to let me know how the cats and the house was doing. Cats seemed happy and I definitely appreciated having Wendy to check in on them.”


“Excellent drop-in service from Allyson! Her communication was amazing and our pup loved her! She went above and beyond and even brought a package inside while we were away so it wouldn’t get rained on. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need a sitter for our pup!”


About: I've had animals all my life. From cats to dogs to hedgehogs. It's always been important to me to show animals how much they're loved and appreciated because they have feelings too. I am 19 but didn't really start actually feeding a walking my animals until I was older to do it with my family. When I go to my friend's house I always love taking the dogs on walks, drives, or even just cuddling. I've experienced all animal ages from puppies/ kittens to senior dogs. I am currently on summer break from college. I will be a sophomore in the fall. I have a cat and family dog. My cat tipsy is who I take back to college with me. I wake up, feed him, play and cuddles then he usually naps and does his own thing. I clean his box and then feed him at dinner time. Same goes with my dog Lucy if my parents need me to give her, her medicine if they aren't there. They're both lazy and keep each other entertained so I have so much time throughout the day. I am very good with instructions and directions. if animal needs medicine I am great with that; my dog also takes medicine morning and night. If needing crating when I leave that's great too. I'm good with what ever you need my help for.

About: Thirty years of experience of opening my home and to families that cherish and love their dogs. They’re considered beautiful guests in my home and treated with respect. I’m newly retired and home full time. Have plenty of time for walks and activities for your dog. Also, privacy if he/she requires quiet time. I have a beautiful new home with a fenced in backyard. Plenty of space to run around and play. I can also offer quiet space also.

About: My husband and I have always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up around pets taught us both how to care for them with patience and love. Together, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. We’re comfortable giving medications and sticking to routines. We’re calm, reliable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets fits naturally into our routine because my husband and I genuinely love spending time with animals.

We always respect your home and treat your pet like family.
