1. Josephine S.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with Josephine watching Bailey! She got walks which she loved! She will be our first choice for home sitting our Bailey!”


2. Miranda W.

“Miranda is the best your fur babies could ask for. She gives them the attention they need because she loves them not just because it’s a job. We will definitely invite her to take care of our pups again!”


3. Sandra P.

“Sandra is the absolute best! We have no worries when our fur babies are in her hands. The care, updates, and love she provides is like no other. She treats our pets like her own, and I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you Sandra, we appreciate you!”


4. Maggie B.

“I'd like to thank Maggie for watching Deena and Diego while we went on vacation. While Deena is a pandemic puppy and not the most welcoming to her home, Maggie won her over! Nice to not have to worry about anything. Maggie kept us updated and sent pics of our crazy spots. I will definitely use Maggie again and would recommend her as a great choice for your pets needs when you go on vacation.”


5. Brooke D.
“Brooke has watched my dog and four cats before and has provided great care. She makes sure feeding times are done at the right time, making sure not to over feed or under feed my animals. She also took my dog Gunner out for walks and kept him quite happy over the few days she watched him. The kitties loved having her as she got them all four playing as well. She communicates well and you can tell she really cares for animals!”


6. Jeremiah M.
“I’ve known Jeremiah for 7 years he is a fantastic pet owner/helper. I’ve seen the great care he had given his Italian Gray Hound. Always made sure meds were given regularly and on time, along with regular visits to the groomers and nightly walks.”


7. Caitlyn P.

“We have now used Caitlyn twice and are so glad that we did! She was great with communication, being flexible and extremely kind! We would definitely recommend her!”


8. Jazlyn W.

“Jazlyn was a real professional and yet loved up our animals during our week long vacation. She is also an amazing house sitter. Our bishonshitzu came down w a UTI right before we left and she handled the meds for that and our dog w allergies beautifully. The peace of mind to have her house and animal sit was just amazingly impactful to how our trip went. It was also so wonderful coming home to her keeping our house so clean and her smile. While we were gone she kept us updated on the dogs and cats activities by text and photos. She even went so far as to play with them with a snuffle mat we had on her own. She was a delight and we definitely will use her again! 5+stars. Thank you Jazlyn!”


9. Peyton B.
“Peyton is great with animals. They are always excited to see her when she comes. Not only does she take great care of the fur babies she even will clean and we will pay her do extra stuff around the house too.”

About: With over 10 years of experience, I combine a passion for animals with professional expertise. As a nurse, I understand the importance of compassionate care, and that’s exactly what I provide for your furry family members. Meet the Team: As a seasoned pet sitter, I’ve cared for countless dogs, cats, and other critters. My own pets are my pride and joy, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. My Little Helpers: With three children under the age of 7, our home is always bustling with energy and laughter. Your pets will enjoy the playful company of our little ones during their stay. I am also a professional photographer and would love to capture some fun photos of your furry friend! Ask me about my add on photography service! Between my husband and I, someone is always home. It would not be a problem if your pet would need frequent bathroom breaks. As a part time nurse, I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I also have a cat that keeps to himself. He is allowed to free roam the main floor. They play outside whenever I am out. Your animal will be treated like my own pet with your typical rules and requests respected.

13. Jaxon S.
“From the time Jaxon was a little child, he has always loved dogs and wanted one for a pet. We never had one, but during his sophomore year of college he adopted a dog from the humane society. Initially, I was not very pleased at this decision. I just didn't think Jaxon had the time or resources to appropriately care for an animal. What I have realized is that Jaxon is an amazing pet owner who loves his dog. Jaxon researches almost every aspect of dog ownership from nutrition to intellectual stimulation. His dog is one of the most well behaved dogs I have ever been around, and Jaxon is very conscientious about being a responsible pet owner.”
