About: i really just love being around animals 😄. i treat every pet like they’re mine and always try to make them feel comfortable and safe. i’ve helped with things like crate training and giving meds, and i’m patient with shy or senior pets too. i know how important it is to know your pet’s okay while you’re away, so i’ll send little updates and photos just to keep you in the loop. just real, loving care.☺️🤍 my schedule’s really flexible since i work for myself, so i’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs. whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or just being around to keep them company, i can usually make it work. i love having pets as part of my daily routine—it makes the day better.☺️ when i’m caring for pets in your home, i’m always respectful of your space and your privacy. i know i’m just there for your pet, and that’s my main focus. i bring a calm, kind energy that helps them feel safe and comfortable. i also try to stick to their usual routine so things feel as normal as possible while you’re away.


4. Mackenzie M.

“Couldn't ask for a better sitter! Mackenzie treated Groot like a prince. Even though he's 125 lbs it was no problem for her. She was very attentive and extra kind. Im going to look forward to the next time she can dog sit for us!”

6. Crystal M.

“Crystal was FANTASTIC!! She told us that her goal was to make us not have to worry about our pets, and she more than delivered on that promise. Our pets were always fed, walked, taken care of, and loved. She checked in, sent tons of photos, and was great overall.”


7. Emmie M.

“Emmie was awesome and took great care of our doggos while we were away!”


8. Sara B.

“Sara is awesome! Our dogs are so excited to see her when she arrives. She has house sat for our 2 beagles a couple of times and we would love for her to sit for us in the future. We feel so comfortable knowing she is home taking care of our babies. She sends great updates and takes care of anything needed/asked, including our multitude of supplements we give our dogs.”


9. Remington S.
“Remington is absolutely the best dog sitter I have ever had. She always sends me updates on my dog Cody and always takes my baby on walks, makes sure he’s fed, and plays with him. I highly recommend Remington as a loving pet giver.”


10. Shawndra W.

“This is the 3rd time Shawndra has watched my boys. She is an angel and my boys just love her. She communicates so well and helps me feel at ease knowing they are safe and loved on my absence.”


11. Christina A.

“Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs and our house while away for the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how our sweet fur babies were doing. She is very reliable and trustworthy. We definitely recommend her!”


12. Lindsey S.

“Lindsey was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had. Needed to find someone to stay with our pup because she has a lot of anxiety being alone after losing her dog brother and we were very nervous about leaving her! Lindsey was thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, helpful and communicated with us throughout. Our dog felt comfortable with her within 5 minutes and we could tell from the photos that she felt safe with her. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.”


13. Rachel C.

“Rachel did so well with my pups who need some special handling as they are both fosters working on building confidence with new people, situations, and with each other. I was nervous leaving them for a couple of days but Rachel communicated very well and managed everything perfectly! Highly recommend, will definitely have her again if she's able!”




14. Gabrielle L.

16. Lexi M.
“Lexi is a true animal lover and will take care of your pet like it was her own. She is also incredibly dependable and responsible.”


17. Barbara M.
“Barbara is very gentle with pets. From going on walks to dogs cuddling into her on the couch watching tv. Very good with handling big dogs to little dogs ( though she prefers the mid size to little dogs). Mid size to little dogs are better better for over night stays in her house as it is a little place. You would be very happy having Barbara watch over your dogs.”


18. Caelyn H.
“Caelyn is always so amazing and helpful. She loves animals with a passion! She has taken care of my pets many times and they are always safe and loved. Caelyn always puts the needs of others first! Her cat, Athena, is very loved and will follow her everywhere like a faithful companion.”


19. Dillan S.

“Dillan was a great fit for my 3 dogs! She responded to my booking request within minutes and was at my house within the hour for a meet and greet. I’ve never hired a dog sitter before, so I was a little nervous of having someone I didn’t know watch them, but Dillan put all my worries at ease. She sent several photos throughout the day every day she was there and immediately responded if I messaged her. My pups took to her quickly and enjoyed all the treats and pets she gave them. If you need someone professional, responsive, and caring to look after your pups then Dillan is your girl!”




20. Victoria M.
