“Great communication throughout the whole process. Had a hiccup with my St Bernard, but it was a 50/50 chance on the sitting working out. We just moved to a new town, street, and house, so the doggos stress was too high. We'll definitely give it another try in the future!”

“Will did a great job watching our Aussies. We came home to two calm dogs. They played outside with him and he was even nice enough to set our trash at the curb. Would highly recommend Will!!!! Will reach out to again.”

“Scott was just awesome. The dogs were very receptive to him. He sent numerous pictures. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. My wife and I don't go on vacation very much because of our furry friends, but we may start to go more often now.”

“Tanya is absolutely incredible! She is amazing!!!! She has a way with animals, highly intuitive to understanding and giving them the proper care that they need each and every pet. She treats with such attention and care that she has a way of connecting with all animals and she's also just very charismatic and friendly all around!!!!! I am absolutely grateful that I have found Tanya as a sitter and as a friend she is amazing!!!!!! 🐶🙏🥰”

“Amanda went beyond the call of duty caring for our two dogs, who are quite comfortable at home but had never been watched by a stranger for an extended period of time (18 days). Both dogs took right to Amanda. She supplied text and photo updates throughout our time away. She followed instructions to the letter and didn't hesitate to ask questions or suggest an idea if it came up. The house was spotless when we got back, and the dogs were happy. There's no question we'll seek out Amanda again if the need arises. We don't think you'll find a better sitter.”

“Sharron is AMAZING. She was great to work with; she gave regular updates, spent quality time with my dog, and was a great communicator! I will definitely rebook her services in the future.”

“Tiffany was great! She was very attentive to Dexter, taking him for walks and making sure he was fed per his schedule. She was very good at communicating their activities and very respectful of our home. I didn't worry at all while we were gone.”

“Sophia did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Prince and Caddis! Our house was spotless upon our return and our babies were so relaxed and well taken care of. Would love to have Sophia back again.”

“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”

About: One of my favorite things about working with dogs is that every dog has a different personality. I take the time to learn what makes each one comfortable and happy, and I adjust my care to fit their needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so dog walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to. I make it a priority to be dependable, communicate with owners, and ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their individual needs, and provide plenty of care, attention, and updates while you’re away.
About: Since childhood, I have always had a special connection with animals, always drawn to them. I have cared for cats, dogs, and other small critters since I can remember. I am now the proud owner of 4 large dogs, 5 cats, a lionhead rabbit, and fish. I also have experience working as a vet assistant for the last five years and have a keen eye for paying attention to the needs of our beloved fur babies. Along with experience, I am obtaining a certification as a veterinary technician, just completing my first year of a two-year program. I am currently a full-time college student, free for the summer, and have plenty of flexibility. Don't be afraid to reach out! I love animals! I stick to schedule feedings, potty breaks, and routines set by owners. Bonus: I will provide lots of belly rubs, attention, and treats if allowed.
“Jessie took GREAT care of our two energetic pups while we were away. We knew they were safe and loved. She also left our home neat and organized: a total pleasure to return to when we got back. Her communication is excellent! Thank you, Jessie!”

About: I’m home throughout the day so they’ll always have company, supervision, and care. After adventures, I make sure pups are clean with a calm environment. I’ve had beagles my entire life- Milo is a rare calm dog who needs a bestie. I work from home so I’ll have a lot of time for your furbaby! Your dog gets a safe, active, and loving environment with constant supervision and plenty of attention. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a secure leash setup in a large shared outdoor space for safe, supervised hangouts.
“Our pups gave her a hard time during the storms, but Jenna was great! She sent pictures & videos of our pups. This was our first time having a sitter stay in our home & we’d definitely have her back. Thank you again Jenna 😁”

“Hannah is a repeat sitter for us and is great! Gives us lots of updates and has great, quick communication! Both our dogs seem to love her attention and she is great at getting their energy out!”
