About: Ive been around dogs my whole life, mostly Pitbulls so they have a soft spot in my heart. I currently attend Animal Behavior College, in their Dog Training program. I also recently got my Pet CPR certification I drop my daughter off at school by 9, and I am free until 7:30 in the afternoon, I can overnight sit on weekend, but Mon-Thu, I can only do daytime sitting. I cannot care for client's pets in my home as I live with others, and they have pets. However, caring for clients pets in their home I would have the utmost respect for their space, making sure the pet is happy, safe, engaged as well as inspecting for any inhome accidents. Some dogs that have high anxiety when left alone tend to get into things they shouldnt, when I arrive I will make sure there is no damage, the food and water is distributed to the clients specifications, do a outside potty break/walk, then inside to play for a little to get out any extra energy

Michelle was great! She was very responsive when we were gone and took great care of our dog and house. We would love to have her dog sit again.

Breanna house sat for us for a week and care for our dog and two cats. She was outstanding! We knew from our first meeting that our pets would be well cared for and loved. She went above and beyond by watering our plants as well. Lastly, her communication was excellent! We would highly recommend her!

Emily was great with our pups, even our super shy girl warmed up to her! We were gone for 6 days and came home to a clean house and 2 happy pups. It makes being away much more enjoyable when you know your furbabies are being well cared for. We will definitely hire Emily again!

Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.

Skyler was Great! She was quick to respond and made the entire process very easy! My puppy is only 10 weeks old and she took very good care of her, taking her outside to the bathroom and giving her lots of love! She always sent photos of my puppy throughout the night to keep me updated on how she was doing! Which held ease my nerves about leaving her for work at such a young age. I will definitely be booking again with Skyler :)

We had Gen stay at our house for 4 days to watch our dog Stout and she did a great job! Stout bonded with her instantly and he didn't have any change in diet or mood when we were gone. We would definitely recommend her and plan on using her again!

We had an excellent experience with Abigail and would absolutely book again. From the start, communication was clear, proactive, and professional, which made coordinating everything seamless. Our dogs were incredibly well cared for—happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable the entire time we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our sitter paid close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that make a big difference. Our home was also left in great condition—clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. That level of respect and care doesn’t go unnoticed. Overall, this was a stress-free, reliable experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and easy to work with, I highly recommend her.

I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

Allexis was absolutely amazing. She sent us photos while we were away and kept us updated on what was happening with our two pups and house in general. She was the best house guest (washing all her bedding, towels, and dishes which she did not need to do). Allexis was the best choice for us to be able to go on our honeymoon without having to feel anxious or worry about our boys. I cannot recommend her enough!

Hannah was wonderful with our fur babies. I had a short notice trip and Hannah made herself available for a meet and greet before we left. We have a pretty extensive care list for our pets and she asked good questions during the meet & greet and loved on the fur babies while she was here. Her responses to messages are prompt and thorough. She sent lots of photos (each pet 2x per day) which let us know she was taking good care of our pets. The house looked nice and clean upon our return. I'm adding Hannah to my list of regulars to use for pet sitting and look forward to using her again.

Our dog died right before we left town. Dannee was watching our cat. He is a rescue and had never been without us or the dog, so he was highly stressed and scared. Dannee had a very calming effect on him and he responded well - even cuddled. I felt the cat was safe and well taken care of with Dannee. She communicated the situations well so we didn't have to worry. We will rebook with Dannee.
