“Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.”


About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. I currently have an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I work as a teacher Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. Because of this, I’m most available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and overnight stays during the week. My schedule also allows for consistent availability on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of my work hours.
“Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!”

“Ashly was literally the best!! We was able to go on vacation and not stress about our fur babies. We got multiple updates and photos daily which I love and the dogs looked so happy. She even took them to the park twice!! We can’t say enough good things about Ashly. If you are looking for someone to care and love your fur baby as you do she is your girl!!!”

“Madie was awesome! Accommodated a last minute request and provided great communication the entire time I was away. Would definitely use her services again.”

“Kieran is fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I left my 3 dogs at home while away for a long weekend and Kieran was sure to send pictures and videos every single time they went outside or played, or anything! It was great. More importantly, one of my senior pups was terminally ill. I made Kieran aware of her condition and asked to be gentler with her. My second to last day of my trip, Kieran called and because marlee had started displaying alarming symptoms. After calling me, Marlee was rushed to the ER while I rushed back home. I cannot thank Kieran enough for taking my baby into his arms and living her on her final days. And I can’t thank Kieran enough for making sure I had time to get to my baby before she crossed the bridge.”

“Doug was an excellent communicator. He left our house clean and our dog happy. He sent us photos and updates, and quickly responded to my texts. He even offered to stop back over when we were running behind.”

“Deanna is the dog walker we've been looking for! She was able to help us last minute and was absolutely amazing. Her communication was perfect, we never wondered how our pups were doing or what services she was providing. She is our new go-to dog walker, and would recommend anybody.”

“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and they seem to trust me easily. Basic feeding and walking for dog and cats too if needed. I'm currently looking to make pet sitting my full time emplyoment, I hope to make many animals and pet parents happy with my service. For dogs I would change the food and water when arriving and take dogs for a walk or outside to use the bathroom. Cats I would change food and water while also cleaning the litter box after use.
“She’s a great sitter! I have an anxious dog and she did great with him, was always available when I reached out and sent me daily updates! Would recommend her any time.”

“Abigail was incredible for my last minute request. She sent so many pictures, communicated clearly and frequently, and reassured me my girls were taken care of. I would recommend her for any pet sitting job!”

“Aaron was absolutely wonderful! He shared regular updates and photos and went above and beyond on caring not only for our pets but also for our home! We’ve already rebooked Aaron for another stay and can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Autumn was the best pet sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dog and cat - truly above and beyond! I would 100% recommend her to everyone. I definitely plan to have her watch our animals again. Thank you, Autumn!”

“Kelly was truly an angel!🙏 She came and did a meet and greet super late at night the day before we had to leave for a trip after another sitter had to back out on us. She stayed for a long time and made sure she understood all of the needs of all my geriatric pets and they loved her. She did a fantastic job and did everything I asked her to (which was A LOT!) and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Kelly!”
“Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.”
