“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”

5. Fallon M.
About: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. I currently work Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.

7. Olivia D.

“Always does an amazing job with my pet”


8. Lee B.
“Lee is my go-to dog care when I take random short trips away from home and my yearly vacations. I have an older dog that is very aggressive, another that has a big bark but is scared of everything, and a hyper dog that has no act right. Lee does great with all of them & they all love her. She listened at the very first visit when I told her of their habits and boundaries and we’ve experienced nothing but happy dogs upon returning home. We even get random, cute pictures sometimes when the mutts are posing for her 🙂”


9. Madison T.


“Madison is fantastic, attentive, and goes the extra mile!! Cleo LOVES walks with Madie and her tail wags as soon as she sees her. She has been so reliable and consistent with her help and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!”

About: Hi there! I’m active duty military and the epitome of a cat person! I’ve been deemed a cat whisperer! But I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me either! I’m available to house sit or do drop ins! I’m active duty military working remote at the moment! So I will be available to drop in or stay with your animal anytime you need! Warning: might accidentally overstay my time slot if they are adorable! I understand whole heartedly that our annimals are also family members! I will treat your fur baby as if they are my own. I just can’t help it!


11. Katherine B.
“I know that Kat will provide the best care and love for all the animals she encounters for this job. She is highly responsible and professional when it comes to caretaking. She has had many years of experience with pets, that include her own and mine. She has taken care of my animals frequently and I would trust her with anyone else’s pets. She treats them like they are her very own.”


12. Adrienne R.
About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.


13. Julie C.

“Julie was a loving owner of Oscar the cat for almost 20 years. She saw him through many health issues and gave him a wonder life with lots of toys & attention. She has also helped care for her parent’s dogs and farm animals. She is very responsible and upbeat.”


14. Sienna R.
About: I’ve never lived in a home without animals, they’re just apart of my life. I have a very high maintenance dog myself, who I give walks to twice a day. So I’m willing to put in the work to give your dogs what they need as well! I do currently work part time as a bank teller, so the days I do work I am not home for an 8 hour stretch, other than coming home for lunch for an hour M, W_TH. I do hope to eventually make THIS my full time gig though. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your pups to run. Excercise is a big thing in our home since we do have a Husky with very high energy so we're always playing or doing some training activities. They will also be welcomed with open arms by our fur babies!


15. Jeff H.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.
