About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household.

I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!
“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”
“This is our second time working with Haley and she was just as great as the first time. Duke clearly loves her and she’s so communicative, responsible, and caring. We are able to enjoy our time away and not stress while she’s staying at our home and caring for our fave furry guy!”
“Tony was absolutely wonderful for a 3-night homestay with our 2 high energy dogs! He took incredible care of our house and pups and kept in touch the whole time to share updates. We came back to 2 very happy dogs and our house just the way we left it. Thank you so much for helping us enjoy a worry-free getaway!”
“Mark is a great sitter that my family has used twice now! The animals love Mark and I'm always getting updates with pictures of them for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”
“Ashlee was so great! She stayed at our house for a few nights and pup sitted our 2 pups. She was great at communicating and sending us updates! She was respectful of our house and cleaned up after herself. We really liked her and so did the pups!”
“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.

“Ripley was amazing taking care of our dog while we were out of town for a few nights. She is dependable and very thoughtful in keeping us updated when we were gone. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I am a trainer through and through, my mom can tell you how difficult it was to train my chihuahua. But we’re working on it and she’s doing great! I make sure my dog is taken out every morning before I head to school. Ensure that kitty is fed and especially my fish, can’t forget about him! My kitty is very independent, but Bella loves to cuddle. I make sure that I spend a couple minutes with her at least every hour!

She has experience with dogs since we own a little spicy chihuahua lol. She also has a happy healthy fish.”
