“Karmyn was awesome! I had a very last second change in plans and she came in to save the day. She was quick to respond which was really appreciated and so good with my pup. I’d definitely book with her again!”


“Marianne arrived as scheduled and kept us informed of any issues. We especially appreciated the long walks- the dogs were exhausted between visits and took naps while waiting for her return.”


“Carolyn is very obviously an animal lover! I had no problems or worries for my cat (and hamster) while I was away. She is kind and bighearted but also very diligent and went over and beyond to come and return my key safely once I was back. Highly recommend. :)”


“These two did a great job taking care of our pups while we were gone for a week. Would definitely use again.”


“Ashleigh was an ideal catsitter for our precious girl! My cat can be shy with new people, but she warmed up quickly to Ashleigh and pretty soon, they were cuddling every visit. I loved getting every update and photo while we were away.”


“Denise was an awesome pet sitter, kind, considerate, flexible, responsible, and as a Veternarian Tech., Denise demonstrates knowledge of PET CARE for both Dogs and Cats ! And she had knowledge of other farm and domesticated animals! I'd highly recommend DENISE for all YOUR PET'S Needs!”


“Thanks so much for checking in on the kitties!”


“Tina is great with my older dog, she administers his medications and spends quality time with him. Very great with communication and sending me pictures while I’m away! Highly recommend.”


About: What sets me apart is that pet care is a passion I truly love animals of all kinds—big or small, energetic or laid-back, quirky or shy. Caring for pets isn’t just something i do, it’s part of my daily life. I treat every animal like part of our family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing walk, or just quiet companionship, we’re tuned in to each pet’s unique personality and Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m currently in online nursing school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home the majority of the time. This means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just being there to keep your pet company. Because I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 schedule, I can easily adjust to meet your pet’s specific needs and routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs lots of stimulation or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. In my home, pets receive consistent, loving care in a calm and safe environment. Since I’m home most of the time thanks to my flexible online nursing school schedule, I’m able to give pets the attention they need throughout the day—whether that’s sticking to their usual feeding and potty schedule, offering playtime, or just being there for cuddles and companionship. I’m very adaptable to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and quiet, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take time to learn their unique preferences and adjust my care to match what makes them happiest. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority, and I treat every animal in my home like family.

About: I have had dogs as pets my entire life. I love to spend time with dogs because of their playful spirit and unconditional love! Although I am now more of a cat person as I own two cats in my current living situation, my parents have two golden retrievers that I love very much and try to visit with anytime I can! Every dog has specific needs and preferences and I will certainly keep this in mind while I care for pet and do my best to be attuned to their specific needs. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule and have plenty of time in the rest of my day to walk, play, or just hang out with your pet! I am unable to care for your pet in my own home because I have two cats who are not used to dogs. However, I have experience and comfortability with dog walking and dog sitting in your home. I promise to treat you, your pet, and your space with the utmost respect and care!

Jessy L.

“I can’t recommend Jessy enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dog Nelson. He can be a bit stubborn (okay, very stubborn), but our first meeting, Jessy handled him with such patience and calmness. It was honestly impressive to watch. She took the time to understand his quirks and never rushed him something that really stood out to me. It’s like she speaks his language. I’ve never seen him warm up to someone so quickly. I feel 100% better if I have to leave him again.”
