“Aaliyah was such a great pick. She took really good care of my two pups while I was in Tennessee. She showed up on time twice a day to check in on them, she was a great communicator and went the extra mile for them and myself to feel comfortable. She will be my go to provider as long as she is available to do so. Thank you so much Aaliyah”
“Samantha did a great job taking care of our pups! She sent lots of photos and videos and even cleaned up after them in the back yard! Wonderful choice for a sitter!”
About: I’ve been raising animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I’ve had experience with a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs, so I understand that each animal has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is open and flexible, so I’m able to provide care whenever you need it, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute requests. I have one dog of my own and a spacious, treated, and securely fenced yard that provides a safe and comfortable environment for your pet to enjoy.

“Jeff was phenomenal with my three elderly dogs. He followed my instructions perfectly and made sure I knew how they were doing each day. I completely trust him in my home and with my precious babies. Highly recommend and will be using again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love and personalized attention for each pet, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for like part of my own family.

“She was wonderful taking care of our two fur babies. She was great with communication. My husband and I were able to have a nice comfortable getaway and know that our fur babies were well taken care of. Will definitely use Maddy again”

Jessica was great for a first time drop in visit request. We did a meet and greet where we showed her the house and how to care for our dogs and she followed every step. She sent great updates and pictures while we were out for the holiday. She was very communicative and professional. I highly recommend her!
