Allison was wonderful with our pups. She stayed at our home when we went away for a few nights. She provided daily updates with pictures and always responded in a timely manner if I reached out. Our return flight was canceled and we couldn’t get home until the next day, Allison had availability and was willing to stay an extra night. She helped ease a stressful situation knowing our pups were in good hands. We will definitely reach out to Allison for future pup sittings. Thank you Allison!

Sabrina is such a fantastic pet sitter, a true God send! It was the first time we have ever left our boys alone with anyone and she was just fabulous!! She sent so many pictures, and kept us posted the entire time we were gone. She even took care of our lizards and fish for us. So reasonably priced and worth every penny. We will definitely be using her again and again and again!!!

About: I've never been without pets in my life. My family and I have always been avid animal lovers, and I've been lucky enough to raise dogs, cats, snakes, and even horses! Growing up, we always had at least two dogs, and oftentimes, a cat as well. Currently, I have two cats and a pit bull of my own. Over the past 8 years, I've worked as a pet sitter for friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. I'd like to offer my services to those who may not have someone they can lean on when they're busy! I work 3 days a week as a full time EMT and volunteer with a local fire department in my free time. If you have any questions about my services, me, or my availability- please don't hesitate to reach out! :) As a full time EMT, my work schedule is very forgiving. I have four days off each week, which are Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. I can very easily fit pet care in on those days, and by request, can sometimes squeeze in morning care on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. With a dog and 2 cats of my own, I do not offer boarding services. I have plenty of experience pet sitting in your pet’s natural habitat; home visits are no issue for me, and I think it’s the best way to ensure that your animals are as comfortable as can be while you’re away.

We needed a pet sitter last minute due to our other option not working out. I found Aubrey and she was absolutely amazing! Our pups had a great time with her. She was respectful of our house and requirements and I can’t say more than great things about her. She even brought them treats and a toy! Thank you again and look forward to booking with you in the future.

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 110 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

Rebecca was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our pups! She was incredibly attentive, made sure all of their needs were met, and gave them so much love and care. Our dogs can be a bit high-energy and challenging at times, but she handled them with ease and confidence. From brushing them to bringing them toys and treats, Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure they felt happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

Emily stayed with our girls for 17 days. She was wonderful. She sent me pictures everyday and told me how they were doing. I was so nervous leaving them for so long. They were probably confused but they definitely enjoyed Emily’s care. She was so sweet with them. It made our trip a pleasure knowing they were in very good hands. Thank you so much Emily. From the bottom of my heart 🧡💜

This was our first time having to travel without him, so needless to say I was a bit nervous. Nevertheless, both Lily & Courtney were able to put my mind at ease & accommodate our needs. Osiris really enjoyed them, not to mention they were able to watch over our rabbit in addition. Absolutely adore them and their work and we plan to continue utilizing their services.

We are very grateful to have found Grace. We booked her with very little time notice, and she was very accommodating. She cared for our dogs with undivided attention. Grace communicating a timely manner made us feel very comfortable that the pups were with her while we were out of town. We will definitely trust her to care for my babies in the future, we highly recommend!

Fantastic house/pet sitter for our cats, dog and chickens! Brenda was so friendly and communicative - we've had some bad pet sitters in the past but Brenda was great from beginning to end and we felt safe with our fur babies in her care! Highly recommend - will use her again!

We don't leave our dog often at all, if ever. Cassidy made us and Sunny the pup, feel so welcomed and confident. We left Sunny knowing that above all, she would feel love! She seemed very relaxed in the pictures and when we came home, no anxiety at all ! We will definitely have Cassidy visit Sunny again soon !

Jessica was excellent! She was so good to the pups I think they were sad when we got home!! 😍 She sent so many pictures and wrote messages to us on how the dogs were doing. The house looked nice and orderly, too, when we arrived which is always wonderful to come home to. I wish I could give her wayyyyy more stars than 5!!
