“Vy was great! She took care of Maddie for 3 days while we went away for a wedding. She was great with our 10 year old Boxer and she communicated well the entire time. I would recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve owned different breed’s throughout my life and have had puppies grow up to live long, healthy lives! I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of small and large dogs with hip displacia, blindness, cancer and other special needs. I’m also a huge health nut, so I’m always researching nutrition topics and things that may benefit the doggies I get to meet! I have an early job in the morning so I’ll be available for very early visits and I’ll be out of work at 1:30pm so I can spend the rest of the of the day and weekends taking care of my fur friends. I’ll keep and eye on them, make sure there is nothing around or anything they can get into to get hurt. On outside walks they always be on a leash and we will avoid big highways.

About: I’ve had different types of dogs since I was young. I’ve trained dogs for all types of reasons. I’m a lover of all pups and can handle your dogs needs. I own a large property specifically for the environment, which is perfect for dogs. I look forward to meeting your doggie and returning a happy pup back to you. Please message for any details. I’m available on weekends and weeknights. I work full time M-F, so weekends are primarily open. While I can do many activities during the work week, I am gone about 8 hours for my primary job. Weeknights and weekends are available. I have a large property with plenty of room to roam. Chickens in the yard (in coop). I have a 6 year old pup of my own that is very docile, loves other animals and gets along with them easily, and is my number two. I don’t have a fence because my dog is perimeter trained. However, I can perimeter train your dog too or walk them on a leash if that is preferred. I plan to add a fence soon and will update this once I do.

About: I'm a college student with lots of free time to care for your animals. I've developed my skills in reading dogs' body language and have cared for dogs that need medication treatments.

Then Fridays - Sundays my schedule is completely open I'm attentive with animals and make sure their needs are met: food, water, meds. I will take your pet on their daily walk routine, make sure they have ample time to play outside, keep them entertained, and if permitted take them to local parks to keep them socialized.

“I highly recommend Angela I needed a pet sitter at the last minute. Contacted Angela she got back with me right away we had a great Greet & Meet the next day. She was on time sent me up to minute info on my dog and sent me a cute picture of her. She was great I will use her again.”


“Chloe has done a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town. The kitties are always healthy and happy when we return, so I am confident that Chloe gave them lots of attention and affection during her visits. She also went above and beyond by watering our Christmas tree, bringing in our packages, and even buying the kitties little toys during her first visit, which they still like to play with. I will definitely be contacting Chloe for our future cat-sitting needs!”

We feel well equipped to provide the highest level care for your furry loved one while maintaining any training goals. Your dogs comfort and safety is our highest priority so we will try to match your dogs schedule to the best of our ability. I am currently offering care on my days off allowing me the opportunity to have a flexible schedule to fit your dog’s needs during both week days and weekends.

All dog gear (toys, water bowls, etc) will be thoroughly cleaned between dog visits to prioritize the health and safety of your dog.

Seth G.
“Seth has been watching my dog for the past eight years, and I couldn’t ask for someone more dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. He treats my dog like family, always making sure she’s well-cared for, loved, and happy while I’m away. Seth’s own dog, Ziggy, is the sweetest and loves other dogs. My pup always comes home tired from all the fun they have together! It’s such a comfort knowing she’s not just being looked after, but also enjoying herself. It’s hard to find someone you can trust so completely with your pet, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Seth be such a consistent and caring presence in my dog’s life. I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a dedicated and loving pet caregiver”
