“Ruth did great! It was nice to be totally worry free during my vacation. She communicated very well with me everyday about how my kitties were doing.”


About: Here is $20 off your first booking!!! KYLIU82403 I have two dogs of my own and am looking forward to taking care of your best friend!! I have a fully fenced in yard with a dog pool and what feels like a million toys! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and really enjoy taking care of them. I will keep in contact with daily pictures and good communication. I am on a set schedule for work but also work 10 minutes from home and can go home if needed. There is a dog park in my community and I also have a backyard! Like I mentioned I have two of my own dogs so your dog will be treated like my own! I do not plan anything without the dogs in mind. I have two friendly dogs and one friendly cat at my house and there is a lot of playing happening 24/7. I check on them often throughout the day!

“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”


“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”


About: I have raised many different animals. I have experience in raising puppies as well as kittens. I am able to dare for all sizes of dogs. I am a teaches working a side job through the Summer! I love pets and have a flexible schedule. I am available at all times through the week and weekend. My dog is my absolute world. I care deeply for all animals and their well being. I find their health extremely important and I am very aware of the diet my dog has. I love keeping dogs company and interacting with them.

“Thank you for taking care of Kupah.”


“We were nervous to have someone come take care of our dog while we went on vacation but Kaylee did an outstanding job. She is very reliable and texts when she is on the way. I would definitely recommend to everyone.”


“Yan is an AMAZING cat sitter! She kept in daily communication in a professional and upbeat way; it's such a relief to find a sitter who sends a detailed report with plenty of adorable photos. She very smoothly handled some hiccups when my lively kitties got into some mischief. She seemed to care for them in a way that really put me at ease. Would definitely book again!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.


“Mikayla did a wonderful job walking our three Boxer dogs, Frankie, Xena and Ducky. Two out of 3 of our dogs can be a handful at times. But she did a great job! Thank you!!”


About: I completed a four year veterinary program in high school on top of being a lifetime animal lover who tries to gain as much general animal information as possible. With this I have basic skills and knowledge on how to handle dogs professionally. At college, I am my dog’s full time caretaker as well as taking care of three dogs total at home. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! I plan on working part time for the summer, but whenever I am not working I am available! My weekly schedule cannot be known until my job posts when I work but I will be able to communicate specifics. I will comply to and rules and regulations that the owners put in place for their animals. I cannot work out of my own home but am more than willing to pet sit or do drop in at the owners home, where their dog will more likely be at home.

About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.

Shelisha F.
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”
