“You can depend on Mallory to take good care of your pet! I contacted her 24 hours in advance and she was able to stop by and take my sweet pup for a quick walk on a day that I needed to be out of town. Will definitely book again.”
“Kayla was a perfect sitter. She took the time to get to know our cats, play with them, make them feel comfortable, and followed all our instructions perfectly. She communicated well and sent great photos of them!”
“Ashlyn was great! My bloodhound is a picky and temperamental girl but she was at instant ease with her. I came home to everything in one piece and all my babies happy and healthy. I will definitely be using Ashlyn for the foreseeable future! :)”
“I adore Ashley! But even better, Sky adores Ashley! My dog is fairly new to me and I have never had a Great Pyrenees before. Sky has come with baggage too...and she's had a rough time of it after losing her previous human after reaching 10 years old. We will be fine...but it will be a long struggle. Ashley's kindness and her understanding of dog behavior has made a huge difference with Sky! Ashley figured out why this pup wouldn't eat (apparently hates metal dishes) and how to make her more comfortable with drinking sufficient water (wants to drink out of a plastic container of any sort). Who would have guessed! Ashley is a super diagnostician! If you are looking for a great sitter for your sweet furbaby, think Ashley! She is perfect!”
About: Your boy/girl is probably not going to like that you are going away, but I know how to minimize their discomfort. I am a friendly young man, very well versed in animal behavior with plenty of time and energy to devote to keeping your dog happy. I have 2 medium sized dogs. My pets are treated like family and I appreciate their company very much. I will appreciate your dog’s company as well. I work 1 block from home. Your dog can hang in the house, in their crate or in a partitioned room I have lots of options for all sorts of temperaments and training. I walk my two dogs when I wake up, then sometimes a short walk after work. Dogs are welcome to roam the house (1500sq ft). When outside I have a tightly fenced in yard, attached is a newly constructed 2 car garage (empty) with concrete floors perfect for cooling off on hot days. Water is always plentiful and refreshed often whether inside or outside. I am also available around the clock, and am never far from home. I rarely go out but at night I use a webcam to watch the dogs if I’m out. Animals are visited every 3 hours on days that I work, and I usually send photos when the dogs go walking or when I check in. Fenced in yard, plenty of room; I have 3 XL animal crates for visitor’s use if preferred. I also have AirTags which I put on my guests during their stay for added safety.
About: Hello, my name is Faith and I have had pets in my home my entire life. I know how to administer medications, First aid, CPR, Bottle feeding, and I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have rescued several animals in terrible shape when I found them and nursed them back to health, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to that if your pet needs some extra care. I have one dog, four cats, and a lizard and home and would love to get to know your pets as well. I am currently working a full-time job starting at 6am but I would be happy to stop by before then on week days if you’re alright with me being there early! I can take them for walks, feed them and administer medications. If you want I could even take them to a local trail and hike with them so they can get away from the house. I work full time Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday starting at 1am and ending by noon at the latest. I can care for your pets after work all the way until I go to sleep that night. I would treat your pet as my own. I don’t mind if your pet needs extra care such as medications or if there is an injury I need to be aware of. Your pet and their health and safety would be my number one priority.

Olivia K.
“I cannot say enough about the care that our dogs, Ron & Gracie receive from Olivia! They are always well fed, walked, and played with every time we leave home. I have received texts and pictures while we have been gone updating me on their activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about our 4 legged children at all while we are gone. In addition, my neighbors have confirmed this for me because they have told me that they see Olivia at our home playing in the back yard with them and they see then out and about on their daily walks! It is so nice to be able to leave Gracie & Ron and know that they are loved and well taken care of when we cannot be with them.”

As usual, Ashlyn did a wonderful job caring for my furbaby! She is SO flexible; it totally sets you at ease when your flight gets delayed…twice! She is always willing to step up and step in if/when needed if my travel plans are unexpectedly extended. So grateful to have her caring for Cricket! So nice to walk into my place just as I left it also!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASHLYN for all your pet care needs. 👍👍

Ashlyn is super reliable. She is great w/my fur babies. She does a great job giving all sorts of meds and always goes above and beyond to make sure my place looks just like I left it.
