“Wendy does a wonderful job with our dog Timmy. He's a bit of a handful but Wendy never minds and is so good with him. She goes above and beyond every time he stays and we're so grateful to have someone we can trust to care for him! Thank you!!”


“Sasha took great care of our dog and puppy while we were visiting fam :) my older dog can get nervous and he seemed totally great and happy when we picked them up. thank you Sasha!”


“Wow, can not say enough about Leah and her family! So professional and knowledgeable, gave me updates, and photos! Their dog was bigger than our puppy and they were very professional keeping them separated most of the time but let them have a little play together time after draining the bigger dog energy a bit, which again, just speaks to how well they know dog behavior! Absolutely 💯 will utilize Leah again in the future for pup sitting!”


“Jody (Jolene) was very quick to respond and took great care of our lab! He had double ACL surgery in previous years so she ensured he was not roughhousing with other pets. Thank you!”


About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was a child. Life is so much better with a dog in it. I’ll walk, play, and love on them. As a pet sitter I can offer experience, training, a willingness to follow instructions and most of all, reliability. I’m currently working from home so I will be available when you need me I’m really flexible and try to work with you to make your fur babies stay less stressful for you and them I have a fenced in backyard and two fur babies to help keep company lots of love, playtime and attention will be given. we also have lots of toys. If need to be by themself and not around other dogs, that’s an option also. we love to also take walks if requested ❤️🦮🐕🦺🐈

About: I have had/ taken care of dogs since about 8 years old. I Have also raised various other animals, including lucky the raccoon. Currently have 1 black lab. I will not be taking pets while at work. On weekends, when I would be taking them I’ll just be working around the house and yard. I have 8 acres of space, 1 acre is a fenced area for dogs to play in. I have a black lab named Olive that loves playing with other dogs.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I have 5 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’ve grown up around animals all my life and I know it can be hard sometime to watch them so that’s why chose to help you out. I want you be comfortable leaving your pet with someone that will love them as much as you do. I currently do daycare for two kids so I am at home majority of the day so I am willing to watch your pet during the day or even at night if that is what’s needed I have 2 acres of fenced in pastures and access to indoors. I have a mix of inside and outside dogs. At night they all come inside though.

David R.
“My pups love visiting David and Olive; they get to run and play in a spacious area until they are completely exhausted. They start barking before we even get up to the house! This is a fantastic place to safely run free in the large fenced area, especially for those large pooches that never seem to tire of playing fetch.”
