“Our babies were happy and healthy when we got home. Litter boxes were clean, great updates and photos. Juliet is really good with answering any questions. Great communication. We have one cat who gets both a pill and shot twice a day, she did a fantastic job. We’ll definitely be using her as our sitter again!”

“Shenice is lovely and was great with Addi. I appreciated the photo updates and that she took her out for walks. Definitely going to ask Shenice to care for Addi again! I especially love that I can leave my elderly dog in the comfort of her own home rather than a kennel when I travel. Thanks Shenice!🥰”

“Addison did exactly what i needed her to. She took care of my dogs and was super flexible with my crazy work schedule. I could tell when i got home by how happy my dogs were that she treated them good! I recommend her to anyone looking to get their dogs cared for!”

“Kaitlyn took good care of my cats while I was on vacation. She is very dependable and punctual with her visits. One of my cats hid (I knew that would happen) when she came but was provided with the food and water that she needed. My second cat bonded very well with her and got the TLC on top of being fed. I would certainly recommend her and I will use her in the future.”

“Luella took such great care of my pup! My dog tends to be nervous around new people so Luella and I did a meet and greet before I left for the weekend. My dog seemed to take things well and I couldn’t be happier! Luella sent photos each visit assuring my girl was okay while we were away.”

About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.
“Breanna always does a wonderful job taking care of my dog. This time I just needed her to drop-in a couple of times during the day. I appreciate that she spends some time with Nola when she is here and sends pictures and updates. She always provides excellent care, whether it is overnights or drop-ins.”

“Maisie was a great pet sitter! We’ll definitely request her again when we need someone! She checked in on our dog, and was on time, and did everything we asked her to do. We loved seeing all of the pictures she sent with each visit! Before the visit, she was very communicative and appreciative of the notes we gave her. Definitely recommend!”


About: I had a dog of my own for 10 years before moving away for college, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet. I've cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I know how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy during walks and visits. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I will treat your dog like family, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you're away. I am patient with shy or anxious pets and always let them approach me at their own pace so they feel safe and comfortable. While I am currently searching for a full-time job, I wanted to spend my time doing something meaningful that I genuinely enjoy. Caring for pets is a perfect fit because I've always had a love for animals, especially dogs. Being able to help pet owners while spending time with wonderful pets truly feels like a win-win situation. In a client's home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to follow the owner's instructions closely. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and shy or anxious pets. I always let pets approach me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and build trust. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any medications or special care as instructed by their owner. I also believe communication is important, so I will send regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and as comfortable as possible until you return home.

Kaitlyn took good care of my cats while I was on vacation. She is very dependable and punctual with her visits. One of my cats hid (I knew that would happen) when she came but was provided with the food and water that she needed. My second cat bonded very well with her and got the TLC on top of being fed. I would certainly recommend her and I will use her in the future.

Allison was awesome! This was my first time ever using a sitter, so I was a little bit skeptical at first. But we had a few meet and greets before I hired her, and she was amazing with my cat! She sent me videos and photos and texts when she would come by and feed the cat, and that helped put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and I would love to hire her again in the future!
