“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my two dogs! Kyra was incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly loves animals. From the daily updates and photos to how relaxed and happy my dogs were when I returned, everything was top notch. My dogs can be a bit anxious and high maintenance, but they warmed up to Kyra right away, which says a lot. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I highly recommend Kyra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: Growing up in the country, I have been an animal caretaker for years. While my personal pets were mostly rabbits and dogs, I served as the community rescue, rehab, and release person for wildlife in the surrounding area. Whether they're young or old, need medication or a specific diet, enjoy chewing everything in sight, or need lots of exercise and love, I am grateful to be able to care for your furry friend(s) in any manner they require. Currently, I work Monday through Friday morning and afternoon, but am completely available on weekends. I can make weekday stop ins during work hours and stay the night any day. I am extremely attentive to detail, whether it be your normal routine/schedule for pet care, providing medication accurately and easily, or double-checking that your pet remains safe on walks or in the home. I will encourage your pets to join me on the furniture if an owner allows, make sure a coat or booties get put on if needed, and send as many pictures as their loved ones want. I treat your pets like they're my best friend too!

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

“Camryn was wonderful caring for our pups at our place. We were out of town for a wedding for 4 days and you wouldn't even have known anyone was at our place. I would highly recomend having Camryn look after your home and/or dogs.”
“Lily kept our sweet dog in our home and did a great job. She sent pics and kept us updated. We felt so relieved to have found her and had a great trip knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would highly recommend her.”
“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”
“This was my second time leaving my girls with a sitter. Jacee was wonderful, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met her, along with my dogs. She came to meet us at our home prior, and the one dog who takes a minute to get close, quickly welcomed her. Communicated frequently, sending pictures every morning and evening, which allowed me to see how happy they were with her, and I was able to not worry about them and focus on visiting and helping my grandfather while he is recovering in another state. I am looking forward to having her come back.”

Lillian H.
“Nik goes way above and beyond what is expected. I had hoped that my dogs would have someone feed them, let them out, and make sure they had some pets. However, I was blown away by the short videos, extra play time, and especially the enrichment games she creates to keep my anxious dog calm and entertained. I would never hesitate to have her care for my furry family members!”

Nick is our go to in-home sitter. We have a VERY energetic/loud husky ( and cuddly Golden Retriever ) who is often misunderstood and when he visited our dogs he immediately understood her needs. He goes out of his way to play with the dogs outside and get their energy out so they can feel better away from us. We trust him in our home with our dog for full weekends and day trips. Never any issues. Definitely recommend!
Jamie was incredibly attentive to Mindi & Riley’s needs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy throughout the stay. She provided regular updates and an adorable photo which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was evident that Jamie genuinely cared for my dogs. I will definitely use her services again.

Lorraine was responsive to our needs and it was so nice for our dogs to stay in our home. She sent pics and reports on how the dogs were doing. Was pleased to find someone who is comfortable giving my dogs injections and medication. Lorraine has a friendly personality and made us feel comfortable leaving our babies with her for our first try with an in-home sitter.
Casey recently spent the night with our senior cat who struggles with separation anxiety, and we returned to a very calm and happy kitty! Casey is always very communicative, sending photos and updates during her stay. We're completely comfortable having Casey stay in our home - she always leaves everything just as it was and is very neat and conscientious.
