“Brandi did a great job watching our dogs. She was reliable and flexible with some tough weather situations. She also communicated well with me throughout. I would book her again!”
“Jack is amazing!! He was able to accommodate multiple visits in a day for my puppy on a short notice. He is very communicative, left detailed reviews for each visit with multiple adorable pics. He provided care that was above and beyond. I knew my puppy was in good hands I highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!
“Kelsie did great with my dog! Aspen loved connecting with her during our meet and greet. Kelsie was very kind and professional. I will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis.”
“Cydney was wonderful and a huge relief to our family as we were scrambling to find a last minute carer for our socially needy cat over a three day weekend! She consistently communicated with us with updates, including photos that showed us how relaxed our cat was with her presence during visits. We were very lucky to be able to book with someone who understood our human & cat needs during our time apart. Highly recommend :)”

About: I’ve always had animals big or small. I know the feeling of a set schedule. So I’d be so happy to be there for your animals set schedules. I have time in my schedule to hangout with your animals. I can do anything from stopping by to let them out or feed them. Walking and getting exercise would be fun with an animal. My dogs love outside, laying down, playing or going for walks. I can do those for your animals or just hanging inside relaxing and keeping them company.
“Elly was great! She was on time for the visit, followed all of our instructions and communicated perfectly. She has great attention to detail and calm energy that is very important with one of our dogs that is shy around new people. We couldn't be happier with Elly and will definitely use her again for drop ins and evernight stays.”
About: I have helped to take care of a variety of personalities of family pets over time. Between an elderly dog who needed help with basic mobility, medication, and anxiety management, to a long-term shelter adoption who need extra attention with socialization and training, to newly trained puppies, I've worked with a variety of animals. I work free lance and I am on my own schedule to set work. I have all the time to dedicate to your fluffy family members. I approach every animal like I approach people: with individual humility and by getting to know them. Every animal is unique and deserves the best, individualized care that I can provide. I approach with love and affection and let the animal inform the relationship from there.

I have taken a veterinary assistant course which helps me to know how to best care for your pet! I have never met an animal I didn't get along with and would love to meet and care for yours! I work part-time from home and my work will travel, so I will have lots of time to provide whatever care your pet might need!

About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.
