“Second time I have used Sofia! She is AMAZING! Very kind and will take great care of your fur babies. I love my animals like children and the horror stories of rovers scares me! I am so thankful to have found a great sitter I can trust!”

“Anastasia accepted a very last minute request for our fluffy friend. She was absolutely amazing and provided so many pictures. We will definitely be rebooking with Anastasia again in the future. Thank you so much”

“Adalyne was great and communicated with me throughout my weekend away - I always stress about leaving my 2 dogs for any amount of time, but I came home to super happy puppies 😊”


About: Hi! I grew up showing dogs in AKC and 4-H, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent time around dogs and cats, and I really just love being around animals. I have two cats of my own now, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide calm, loving, and reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. You can expect quick communication, regular photo updates, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Boarding: Cozy, supervised care in a home environment with lots of attention. Drop-Ins: Feeding, fresh water, cleanup if needed, and quality time with your pet. Dog Walking: Safe, relaxed walks tailored to your dog’s pace and energy level. I also have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and accommodate different care needs throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and behavior needs to make sure your pet stays on track and stress-free. I also pay close attention to each pet’s body language and comfort level so I can respond appropriately to their needs. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and careful attention to surroundings at all times. In my home, pets are always supervised in a clean, safe space designed to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I believe trust is built through clear communication, so I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away
About: I've been taking care of animals in some capacity my entire life. I'm going to study zoology to continue this pattern, as I want to work with animals in a more professional setting and learn more about them. Animals genuinely are my purpose in life, meaning you can trust me to be caring and loving with your pets. My only true commitment is classes I'm taking at a community college. I only am taking a couple classes a semester though, meaning I have a lot of free time. I do also volunteer at an animal shelter, but I am able to choose my schedule for that, meaning it shouldn't be an issue. I love taking photos of pets and will make sure to send them to you, so you can see they're doing well. I love to play with dogs, or cuddle if they're comfortable with me. If your dog knows any tricks, I'm happy to take them through what they know to help keep their mind engaged and calm them down.
About: Growing up, I’ve always been a cat owner and my parents have always owned dogs. I’ve always looked after our animals, especially when my parents were out of town or just out for a few hours! I know our animals mean the most to us, so I make sure they get pampered like they deserve! I also love to see all types of pet personalities and what makes them thrive happily! I plan to do this part-time and currently have a completely free schedule for any pet owner in need. To mornings, evenings, and even nights..! Just like I do to my pets, I’ll pampers yours as well. From basic needs, to even bathing and grooming (Just nails being trimmed and brushing)! If your pets have any medications, I make sure those are given to the pet at the times they’re needed. I also make sure that all pets get out all the energy they need like walks, running around in your backyard, and even a cute game of tug-of-war and fetch. Every pet has an attitude and voice that I make sure is heard!
About: I have have had dogs and horses all my life. I currently help with Rescue and Foster groups when needed. I am a foster failure myself with 3 of my 4 pups. I have a lot of experience with helping with our vets with the horses and dogs. We recently house sitted for a Foster Group that had 10, 5 week old puppies that was a lot of work but so rewarding with puppy breath. My teen son is 19 and an animal lover too and has helped when needed. We are flexible to help you when you need to go out of town for a few days when needed. I have another teen son that stays at our home and takes care of our pups when we are needed else where. I work Monday-Friday but home by 5:30 most days. Can be flexible and work from home when needed as well. I can stay overnight at your home with your babies so they are not alone. Will play and treat your babies as my own. I am a great pet Auntie. I have 3 dogs now which 2 I rescued and so glad i did - my 3 others before them who passed a couple years ago were also rescues. I have years experience working side by side with our vets in the field with our dogs and livestock so I have a lot of common sense and natural care taking ability. I can give medicines and doctor wounds as needed. I don't mind cleaning pens or crates as needed and can also do pet laundry as well. Whatever you or your furr-baby needs, I will be more than happy to do. I work most days until 5 or 5:30 but can work from home if need be so I can be available for your scheduled booking. I have a fenced yard for my 3 critters. I usually step outside with them so they feel more secure to do their business. I don't want them getting nervous that I will leave them outside for very long. I have experience with horses, cows, chickens - you name it, I probably have taken care of them on our Ranch growing up. Whatever you need, I can handle. I also now have experience with fish so I can help feed and take care of your finned friends. Whatever you or your furr-baby needs, I will be more than happy to do. I work until 5-530 during week but can also work from home if need be. I can be home to your babies as soon as traffic lets me. I will come to your home to sit for your babies so that they feel safe and comfy while you are away. They need to try to stay in a routine but be excited someone has come to visit them too. :)

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from helping my parents dog sit all breeds and growing up to raising my own cats and dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal care and individual needs. I’m reliable, organized, and intentional with my time.

Let me know what your pets love to do and I will make sure to do that!

“Kendall was absolutely amazing! She stopped by to do a meet and greet on short notice and was also able to check in on Leia for an extra day due to my plans changing. She was so great with Leia and I could tell that Leia really enjoyed her time with Kendall as well. She gave so much attention to Leia while with her, and I really appreciated that. She gave very detailed check ins(with lots of pics), which was so nice as I was out of town. I could not recommend Kendall enough if you are in need of someone to show lots of love to your pup!”

About: Hey there! Call me Katie. Amateur Animal Whisperer. I LOVE cats and dogs alike. I'm so thankful for your interest and trust in me! I am a lover of nature and all life it encompasses. I have professional experience with animals, children, and house sitting. I do well with animals of all breeds, species, ages and needs. I never meet an animal I don't love. All my life, I have had a gift for bringing peace to otherwise 'unfriendly' or 'unwelcoming' animals. It is not uncommon for me to be cuddling with a friend's dog or cat... Later to find their astonishment at their animal allowing me (or anyone) to do so! I am comfortable and do very well with animals with special needs. I am only 5'2 but I have a passion for Great Danes! And birds! And cats! I feel I am very attentive, intuitive, and loving with people and animals alike. I am looking forward to getting to know your furry family members! Thank you for reading! I am self employed, with a flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pets’ specific needs. I love building relationships and sense of trust with your babies: making them feel safe and loved during drop ins, walks and play time. Life is busy for you! When you’re away, my goal is to bring you and your animal babies peace of mind. I like to adapt to your babies natural routine as closely as possible.
