“Natalie has been wonderful every time she has watched my babies. My cat is always waiting at the door for her so he has someone to play with. She takes plenty of pictures and is great at communicating. I would definitely recommend her.”

“We are so thankful to Madison for checking in on our cat while we were away for our wedding. It meant so much to have someone there for her while we were enjoying the biggest day of our lives. She did everything we needed her to do while there and our cat warmed right up to her!”

About: I love animals, and I would love to start getting out of my house more. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12, and would love to get back into it. I am good at basic training things such as : sit, stay, lay down, and I can also teach them to play dead. I don't mind feeding them or bathing them either. I can't wait to meet your fury companions! I have two littles and would love for us to start getting out of the house. I am basically always free, and would love to take care of your fury family members! I have fenced yard if I were to have your pet at my home. I also have a female dog who is super energetic while outside. I own a dog crate as well, just in case. Depending what I am booked for, I love to play with all pets. Usually if I have time during a booking I will play and give pets to my clients as if they were my own.
“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very responsive when we updated her with tips and last minute concerns with our cats. She updated us with pictures and made sure each of our cats was doing well while we were away. We will definitely be trusting Kelsey to care for our pets in the future.”


“Second time using Caitlin. She is awesome and so caring. Love the pics and videos she sends. Makes leaving the furbaby a little easier. Would give more stars if I could!!”

“We loved Bethany!! We needed a last minute long term sitter for our two young cats- Bethany was so friendly and professional and made us feel comfortable right away.

Thank you Bethany!!”

About: Hi! I am Kaitlyn! A Loving and dependable pet sitter experienced with dogs, cats (including seniors), and bunnies. I provide attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. I have 2 dogs that live with me. They have lived with my family and i for the past 12 years. I am their primary caretaker, which requires me to do everything with them, walking them, feeding them administering medicine and of course, we cannot forget play playtime. In my home one of our senior dogs has diabetes and I have to give him insulin shots. Also he has to be taken out every 30 mins to a hour. In the past I have dog sat blind and deaf dogs so i have experience with that as well.

About: ALL BREEDS WELCOME! As a dog mom and trainer, I know what it really takes to provide a fulfilling and safe environment for our furry friends! Your dog deserves more than just a place to stay. As a dog mom/trainer 100% of my day is about fulfilling not only my dogs needs but the needs of any dogs in my care. From adventures and enrichment to potty breaks and feeding my schedule revolves around making sure needs are met! I have three very friendly dogs of my own. They love meeting and making new friends. We have an entire room dedicated to dogs! It is filled with beds, toys, chews and much more. This allows for safe indoor play or safe rotation if needed. All dogs in my care WILL BE LEASHED. This is with the exception of being in a fenced in area. Also, in my home we do use crates. This is something that any dog in my care needs to be comfortable with. I use vet approved disinfectant to clean twice a day as well as a full reset after each dog. This allows me to safely take in young pups as well. Due to me being a professional dog trainer there isn't anyone safer or more competent to walk, play with or watch your furr baby!
