About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!

This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Declan communicated and sent photos throughout his stay, and we felt comfortable that the pups were well cared for!

We couldn’t have asked for better care of our animals and house while we were away. Sarah did a great job keeping us updated on our pets and really did an outstanding job.

Mark was awesome. Miss Molly got lots of walks & apparently behaved herself. My house was spotless when I got home. Mark sent lots of pictures. I am confident Mark is trustworthy and loves animals. Sure hope he is available when I need to travel!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.

Kathryn took wonderful care of Chloe while I was away for my daughter’s wedding this weekend. Chloe was clearly well cared for, and Kathryn went above and beyond to comfort her during a storm and cater to her specific needs and personality. She communicated very well throughout the stay and provided a thoughtful summary afterward, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m very grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her!

Andrew (Rusty) exceeded all my expectations when it came to boarding my two dogs. First of all, this was the first time they were boarded. They are 7 yrs. Old so I was a little nervous and wondering how my dogs would react. Rusty was amazing with them and they came back relaxed and I knew they were well taken care of. Rusty has a great fenced in area and my dogs love being outside. I highly recommend Rusty and so does Stella and Beau!

About: As a middle schooler, I worked on a farm property as a pet groomer. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and a specialization with dogs that are disabled and have behavioral issues. I enjoy being active, going on walks, and making sure your fur baby gets the love they deserve! I am currently working part time at an eye-care office! I have a lot of free time, and would love to spend it with your fur baby! I am flexible and happy to accommodate to whatever you and your pet’s needs may be. I am respectful of the spaces I am in, and I understand that life can get busy sometimes. I never judge a messy home, and promise that it won’t be an issue. I am just happy to help!

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life and they have a special place in my ♥️. I have watched and cared for many dogs and I will always treat every dog like my own. I am a teacher so I am available in the afternoons during weekdays and weekends are mostly open at anytime. I also am off in the summers so I am available more. I will be sure to take proper care of your dog whether it is feeding them, giving them medicine, or taking them on a walk. I will treat your dog as my own.

Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾

Brittany made sure to come over to our house prior to her first stay to get to know us and pup Champagne. She was thorough and asked thoughtful questions. During her stay, she kept us updated on her arrival and departure times reducing our stress! Champagne and her hit it off from the start!
