Hector did such a great job! He was super flexible and came over to meet my dog beforehand just to make sure my doggy would behave. On the day of the visit he took care of my dog and got him to play and run around outside. He even brought a package in for me! I will definitely be booking Hector for all my dog-sitting needs!

Kirsten did a great job! I met with her briefly beforehand, she was polite and attentive as I walked her through everything. During her visiting she checked off all of my requests and sent pictures as confirmation. Lastly she was great with my cat, playing with her and giving her treats. Would hire her again, fully trust her with my cat.

We are so happy we chose Danielle as our sitter for our 2 cats during our destination wedding and honeymoon (2 weeks)!! Danielle went above and beyond. She truly treated our cats as her own, was extremely professional, and sent cute photos of them daily. We will 100% be using her again! Thank you Danielle!🩷

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life! My dad raises chickens, I currently have 2 dogs and 5 rescue cats that live at home with me! I am very passionate about animals and have a deep love for them. I absolutely love spending time with my pets! I am currently a college student and I have a part time job, working around 15-20 hours a week, so I am looking to pet sit on my free time! I am pretty flexible around hours I do not have school or work! I also like to stay very active as I like to go on walks and runs on my own as well. I like to leave things as I found them and am very respectful of people’s spaces and privacy.

I had the pleasure of having Timothy as my dog sitter for a week, and I couldn't be happier with the care my dog, Lulu, received. Timothy is incredibly reliable and responsible, always showing up on time and keeping me updated with daily photos and messages. Lulu immediately took to Timothy, which shows the genuine love for animals. Tim’s experience with dogs was evident in the way they handled Lulu’s energetic personality and ensured she got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

If you want a responsible and reliable pet sitter, Michelle is the pet sitter for your pet, whether it is a dog, cat, etc. because she loves animals. Michelle took very good care of my cats while I went on various trips over the years. The longest time was last year for 3 weeks when our family went on vacation. She made sure the cats had plenty of water (hot summer) and food, and checked on them regularly. I really appreciate her taking good care of my cats.

About: I have taken care of pets and family friends pets for 1; years and livestock for 8 years. I currently have my own puppy that is going strong with potty training, leashed walking, & socializing! I would be a great fit for your sitting and walking needs as I am a high school teacher and have time after work and on the weekends! I would from 7am till about 4/5pm depending on the day! I spend my time at home on the weekends and I typically don’t bring work home so I have extra time to go on walks and sit. I have a fenced yard and a 5 month old puppy! We don’t have grass at the moment but we have a covered patio and a small turf patch.

Toni is one of the few people I can trust to take care of my dog. I've left my dog with her for a weekend and she sent me so many pictures. These made me feel so comfortable and let me enjoy my weekend.

Jessika is so great with my puppy! She kept him company during the day while I was at work, and she also started teaching him some commands. She gave me plenty of updates after every visit as well as gave advice on how to feed him and train him.

About: My name is Amber, I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. From having puppies and kittens when I was young, to growing up and joining FFA in high school to show rabbits. I’ve owned several types of animals since graduating high school ranging from dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, geckos, chameleons, turtles, fish, and chinchillas. My love for animals shows through the care and support I’m able to provide for my own pets. I currently have 2 small dogs in my home. My best friend is 8 years old named Mia. Her little sister’s name is Zoey who just turned 6 months old. I also have experience with a special needs dog who needed constant supervision. I grew up watching a lot of training videos on dogs and became informed on proper dog care and socialization. I hope one day to return to college to pursue my childhood dream of working in the veterinary field. I’m currently unemployed as I navigate my way to returning to school so this gives me all the time in the day to provide and care for your pet(s). I have a large fenced backyard to provide free play and running around. My dogs are friendly and excited to meet other dogs. I can provide a medium size crate for any crate trained pets. I always make sure my dogs have fresh water and a proper eating schedule. My home has plenty of dog toys, wet wipes for messes, and older family members who are also animal lovers. I can guarantee your dogs will be happy in my care while I ensure their safety and well being.
