“Ann-Marie was very sweet and friendly. I felt as though she took great care of my pets. I was sent frequent updates and pictures. She seems to be a very trustworthy person to have come to your home and care for your animals and we would absolutely have her come back to care for our dogs again.”


“Eric did a great job with our two dogs who are on opposite ends of the age, energy, and size spectrum. He kept us well informed and sent lots of pics and videos. Would recommend!”


“Keilyn was so helpful with watching our pup, plus kept us updated with pictures the whole time while she stayed with him! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”


About: I've had all kinds of pets in my life, from bunnies and fish to kitties and dogs! I have experience giving medications, in pill form and injectables (previously had a pet with diabetes), and I'm comfortable with some grooming, like baths and brushouts. I love getting to know everyone's pets and being able to love them like my own -- they become part of my family, too! I have a full time job but find that my hours are perfect for sitting! I have most weekends off as well, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Boarding in my home is a little different. Due to my own animals safety, I do require AT LEAST ONE meet and greet with my dogs to ensure they get along. Your pet will also absolutely need to be okay with cats, and they will need to be crate trained in order to be left at my home. All my dogs are crate trained and are crated when we are not home. There is also a list of vaccines I require your pet(s) to have--I will share these if you're looking to book sitting in my home! Sitting in YOUR home is MUCH different and actually preferable for senior dogs or anxious dogs! I don't like to stress dogs out with an environment change, it can be too much for some dogs and I'd hate to put your pet through that! I will follow all house rules and routines for your pet, and I always clean up after myself and your pet, which includes dishes, changing bedding, laundry (occasionally), vacuuming, etc.!

“I can’t recommend Briana enough! From the start, she was incredibly thorough in understanding exactly what our dogs needed and took the time to ask about their routines, preferences, and any specific care we wanted. Her attention to detail and genuine interest in making sure we felt comfortable made such a difference. Plus, her flexibility was impressive—she was able to handle a wide variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing that she was capable and caring enough to adapt to any animal care situation meant everything to us. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Yadary saved the day! Our pup was having a hard time on vacation and she allowed us to still be able to enjoy ourselves. Our dog is young and a bit of a handful. She listened carefully and followed all of the instructions. She was on time a reat communication throughout the day. He warmed up to her immediately, actually I've never seen him feel so comfortable so fast. She provided excellent care!”



“Rebecca provided a top-notch level of service, housesitting for senior black lab. She provided text updates and fun pix so we could follow how everything was going and see how much Smokey Bear loved being with her. Rebecca managed her time in our home and property very responsibly. We will definitely call her first for our next trip!”


About: Hi, I'm Meghan! a lifelong animal lover that you can count on. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've grown up with a variety of animals including: dogs (both big and small), cats (both outgoing and timid), as well as even the smallest of pets (like hamsters, bunnies, snakes, fish, and lizards) and I truly believe our pets are family. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals, I'm attentive, patient, and committed to following any and all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy while you're away. This includes any specific routines, medications, or favorite toys. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly just the way they like it. Whether you need someone to drop in, go for a walk, or provide overnight care, I'd love to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new and I promise to treat them like my own. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities and would welcome a meet-and-greet to learn more about your needs! I work part-time over the summer but I still have availability for early mornings, afternoons, evenings drop-ins/walks and overnights on most days depending on location. Your pets comfort and safety come first - especially in their own home. I take great care to follow any and all instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine like feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications or playtime.

About: Animals love me for my calm, loving demeanor. I am a good pack leader and provide a safe and fun place for your fur baby while your away. I am retired with plenty of time on my hands. It gets lonely at times so I enjoy the company of both dogs and cats. I have a large yard with room to roam, sniff and play. You can trust that I will take just as good of care of your fur babies as I do my own.

About: I’ve had family pets for as long as I can remember. I am very comfortable with all types of animals! I also worked at pets mart for a year where I ran doggy day camp! I am currently a part time student. So I am available most days of the week. Mornings and afternoons work great for me! But very flexible with my schedule. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I also walk them on leashes and occasionally crate train if necessary. I will do whatever it takes to make sure your pet is safe and comfy.

About: I’ve always had a pet in my home, either cat or dog. They feed my spirit and are the best to show love and companionship. Side job while traveling as a nurse and I would be happy to care for your fur baby. I’m currently open to helping take care of your fur babies. My schedule is free and I’m hoping to help people in my area with the care of their pets. I love to show pets affection with toys and belly rubs. Leave a list of how you’d like me to service your pet and I’d be happy to follow it.
