“Ariana is a wonderful caretaker for our cat. She sent a nice report and photos everyday. She spent some extra time playing with her and grooming her, which made the two weeks easier for our baby. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jaime did a great job looking in on my two shy kitties, and making sure they had plenty of food and water. She went above and beyond seeking out the cats and sending me a picture of them under the bed; it was reassurance that I left my cats in good hands while I was away.”

About: I am experienced in caring for a diverse range of pets. I am known for my calming demeanor, which is particularly beneficial for pets that exhibit anxiety or shyness. I'm intuitive to pet behavior and respond appropriately. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats. I can administer medications and feed them any special diets. I can feed and water your reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, chickens and other pets. Pet care is my full time job. I have my own cat at home so I do go home to check in on her if I am house sitting for the week. I am attentive to your pets needs and behavior. If they are shy or have anxiety I will give them the proper space and time to adjust to me. I am respectful of your home and your beloved pets.
“I’ve booked Mykylie twice for drop in visits with my cat. She is absolutely fantastic! She gives caring and detailed updates daily, and takes the cutest pictures to send. She truly loves animals and I’m always so grateful for the care she takes in looking after my kitty cat.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care — and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently out on summer break as a college student so I have a bunch of free time. I’m available weekly for any dog sitting (overnight or just throughout the day), dog walking, check-ins, etc. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs—so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I've grown up around animals on a small family farm with sheep, chickens, dogs and cats. Animals have always been a priority in my life. I currently have cats, chickens and goats and I hate to admit it but I will always want more! Caring for pets both that are mine and others has been part of my life since I can remember. From helping birth lambs or caring for mamma cats in labor I've done close to it all when it comes to animal care. Animal behavior has become an interest in the last 8-10 years and I have worked to learn more about training and behaviors as it helps with their individualized needs. Making sure that your animals are not only comfortable but happy and safe while your away is my main goal. Pet care for my animals happens daily. I wake up and am set into the potty and feed schedule not only for my indoor animals but for my outdoor livestock pets as well. Animal care has been subconscious since a young age. I have always enjoyed seeing the happiness of animals and my schedule as of late has made that easier and easier to make a larger part of my life. My pets are spoiled, and yours will be too. Cuddles, loves, and butt scratches on demand in my care. Special instructions will be followed to ensure pet happiness and safety at all times.

“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our odd menagerie (chickens, canary, hamster, bunny, hedgehog, and assorted fish) while we were gone for a week. She gave our animals extra care, taking them out to play and making sure they had food and water. She went above and beyond in watering our plants and bringing packages in, and was so professional in her friendliness, communication, and consistency, not missing a day. I really appreciated how she asked before bringing over a friend, and how she let me know right away when something was unusual with our chickens. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her services to anyone.”

Stefanie M.
“My first time leaving our 7 month old puppy was with Stefanie and we couldn't be more happy with our experience. Our pup was a little timid around other dogs and when we picked her up 10 days later, she was best friends with Stefanie's dog. Our puppy had clearly been spoiled with daily walks, backyard run around's, dog splash pad and park and she even brought home a couple of new toys. Our dog has a very sensitive stomach and Stefanie kept her strict doggy diet on track. We are very thankful for Stefanie's care - we knew she would be amazing with our girl since she is such a protective dog Mom of her own puppy. Thanks Stefanie!”

Jeffrey B.
“My husband and I absolutely love Jeffrey when it comes to pet sitting for our sweet pup! We have a Labrador retriever who does not fall short of energy and is extra needy when it comes to needing loves! For these reasons we don't just trust anyone to watch our pup, June. Jefferey is consistently communicative and in contact with us about how our sweet girl is doing while she is under his care. He has such a deep love for animals and you can see it in the way that he treats and cares for them. We receive photos of our dog playing fetch, on walks and getting cuddles (the most important thing to her!). She looks as if she couldn't be bothered that we are gone! Our pup is also sensitive when it comes to food and snacks. Jeffrey has been very considerate of those restrictions and is always careful about what our pup is fed. both my husband and I could not recommend someone better to take care of your our baby! If you want someone who will love your pup and treat them as if they are his own, this is the person for you! Thank you Jeffrey!”
