Jessica took good care of my two cats and my kitchen while I was away. She was flexible in returning my key the following day in case my late-night flight was cancelled. She took pictures daily showing that even my shy cat gave her the thumbs up.

Margaret continues to be a reliable sitter for our fur babies. She plays with them and changed the litter box at the last drop-in. Margaret always sends thorough updates, pictures and videos during drop-ins. Additionally, she brought packages and mail in the house while we were traveling too! Will continue to book with her in the future.

Sarah was amazing! I was traveling out of town on business and Sarah agreed to come walk my Chiweenie. They were kind, and Chiweenie was very chatty with Sarah. I’m sure they’re friends forever now.

About: We work from home full-time, which means your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Dogs staying with us typically get up to two walks a day, usually 1–2.5 mile walks at nearby trails. If your pup enjoys walks and adventures, they’re welcome to join! We also make sure dogs have plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention depending on their personality and energy level. We genuinely love pets and try to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, shy, energetic, or prefers a calmer environment, we do our best to adapt to their needs and routine. We're also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and we aim to create a safe, loving environment where both you and your pup feel comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I take my dog on walks twice a day for 1-2.5 miles in the park and typically spend the rest of the day at home, treating your babies like my own. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance from a park with wooded trails. I have a friendly pup in my home who loves having friends to play with. I will care for your pets like my own!

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 9 years of experience with cats. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I understand daily routines, different personalities, and the importance of safe, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing pet behavior and needs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, so pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get fresh water, regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, and attention. I also keep the home clean and respect the client’s space.

Kara was amazing! She kept us so well informed and took such good care of our babies. One of our dogs had a last minute change and needed medication given and she was super flexible and eager to help. We also have a crotchety old retired service dog and she took to Kara so so well. We will 100% be booking Kara again if we need it!

About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around animals my whole life, I miss the rural farm life quite a bit! I’ve worked at Petsmart bathing dogs and really enjoyed it, I worked with dogs that were all shapes, sizes, and ages. My boyfriend and I currently have two cats who we love so much. I’m currently taking care of animals through the university from 7-3:15 Monday through Friday, so I have a pretty open afternoon for your babies! I’m working 7-3:15 Monday through Friday so I have a lot of afternoon time for your little angels. My weekends are mostly free as my partner typically works the weekends. I’m an avid walker and feel like I’m fairly strong as I have a background in farming, archaeology, and now animal care. I will do everything in my power to keep your pets safe as we’re walking.

Addie was amazing with my puppy! I work night shift an hour+ away and it’s always a struggle finding a sitter available to do drop in visits so late. I recently had a bad experience with a sitter falsifying care (I have a pet cam) and I was stressed I wasn’t going to be able to find anyone to check on her because of my schedule. Addie exceeded all of my expectations! She gave Maple so much attention, care, playtime, and affection! She was on time, she communicated well, and she was extremely accommodating to my little requests (like making sure my tv didn’t auto shut off so she could have background noise, or giving her a frozen pupsicle treat before leaving). She sent a ton of pictures of their time together and my girl looked so happy! She even won the heart of my cat, who is normally shy around new people. 10/10 experience! Thank you so much, Addie!
