“Rhianna was beyond amazing at taking care of my cat Lucille and my home while I was away. She sent detailed updates daily and plenty of photos showing what all they got up to each day, and constantly went above my expectations. The care she showed for my pet was clear, and I couldn't appreciate her more!”


“Tori is such a delight. She eased our mind about our one problem child pup that likes to chew couches while we’re gone. She was fantastic and very timely on showing up as well as keeping us updated on what was going on. She sent lots of pics of all the kids and we felt very comfortable with her being in our home while we were gone. We will definitely use her again next month when we go out of state for a few days. Highly recommend.”


“Miranda was amazing! She took such good care of our fur babies, so we could enjoy full days at the national parks without worrying about them. She gave them lots of love and attention, and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”

“Breanna was very kind with all of the fur babies! So sweet! All the pets really warmed up to her! Giving them some outdoor time for them to relax and enjoy! We kept clear, constant communication. Answered any questions and concerns! Just really appreciated her patience with me as well! We are really grateful for her!”


“Samantha was great with my pups! She responded very quickly and kept me updated throughout each visit. She even left little treat baggies for them after her last visit! She will definitely be my go to for any time that I go away!”


About: Excel in animal care with over 15 years experience working with a variety of species from exotic fish, rodents, dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, wildlife and livestock. 3 years experience as a Vet Tech, 10 years as a ranch hand and 3 years as a wildlife rehabber. All while caring for my own personal pets like rabbits, fish, dogs, cats and horses. I am passionate about animals and strive to provide the upmost care. I am knowledgeable on pet products, medications, vaccines and can give nutritional advice. I also have an interest in training and behavior and am strong advocate for positive reinforcement training. During the week I can provide enrichment activities after 4PM but on the weekends I can do that more than once a day and also provide relaxation time. I live in a no pet household with a small unfenced yard but in a very animal friendly neighborhood next to dog parks and trails.

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I love having them here so much. I dont get them everyday, 4 to 5 times a month, overnight. Sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, or more. I take care of my mom, she has Dementia, and the fur kids love being next her, shes so happy and less stressed when they are here. She remembers alot when their here. I tend to cuddle with them all day & nite when they stay. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

“Katherine is wonderful. She bonded quickly with my yorkie Rex. You can tell she loves animals, she’s so nice and easy going. Followed instructions and took such care of my sweet little boy.”


“Our dogs did great with Milan for a weekend dog sitting! Milan was consistently on time and did great with keeping our dogs fed and taking them on walks. We really appreciate how well Milan communicated and shared pictures! That really gave us peace of mind while we took a weekend away. Our pups immediately were at ease with him when we first did our meet and greet, and were excited to see Milan each visit - even though they usually take a few minutes to warm up to strangers. He gave them plenty of scratches and loving when he dropped by and they were very relaxed and happy when we got back. Having Milan look after our pups while we took a weekend away was great for us, and we would definitely book him again, and would recommend him to anyone else!”


About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available for stays and walks in our home from Thursday until Sunday night. We work from home Thursday and Fridays so can walk them whenever needed! We have a nice back yard but do not currently have a fence (at this time). We can walk the dogs in our backyard with a leash and or take them to nearby parks. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.

About: I have been dog walking/sitting for 7 years now no matter what the size or the breed is, as long as the dog is friendly and loving. I've dog sat 8lb Mini-Poodles and Chihuahuas to 100lb Pittbulls and German Shepards. I LOVE dogs along with enjoying long walks and being outside which is why I began dog sitting/dog walking. I also have my own pup, a 1 year old named Jax. He is part Cane Corso and Redbone Coonhound and serves as my Emotional Service Animal and bestfriend. If I have the honor to dog sit/walk your pup, I'll treat and love them as I would my own! I would be beyond happy to take and use my love for dogs to help others care for their own four legged friends. I run my own business so I am in charge of my own schedule. I can be flexible if given at least a day or 2 notice. I have a very friendly and loving dog that loves others dogs, both big and small. Inside my home there are tons of safe dog toys, lots of delicious treats and many comfy sun spots to relax in.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats in the house my whole life. I’ve helped raise my brother and sisters dogs when they were puppies l, and I currently own a 2 year old golden retriever who is pretty much my life. I have always been the go to pet sitter for my whole family and friends when they go out of town, and that has been my favorite compliment. I currently work full time and I am completely available any weekends or select days during the week before or after I work depending on the day! I am very well rounded when it comes to animals and can adapt pretty easily to any demands concerning your pet. I have no issues crating, feeding playing or walking your pet!

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs practically my whole life. There hasn't been a year when I haven't had one or the other. My first puppy as an adult I trained to go outside in a matter of 2 weeks. To me putting pet care into my routine. Is as easy as easy as making a to do list. And after my human family pet care is natural as self care. I make sure that food and water is filled. And make not only potty was done. But also a safe walking environment. I love treating animals like they are family to me

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My dad owned hunting dogs that we had trained ourselves, they were so loving of us kids and always enjoyed long walks in the woods and hours of play time. We’ve also had cats of every personality, from the fat house cats, to the crazy orange cats, to the shy barn cats, to the hunters who always brought us back a present. We would go to the farm every Sunday and feed the cows and pigs. We’d help our grandparents clean out the chicken coop and feed the hens. I’ve always had a big heart for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with taking care of my own animals as well as long term and short term pet sitting. I’m experienced bathing and some grooming, I have owned a husky and a malamute and I’m not afraid of hair. I can also clean ears, teeth, and nail trimming but you must supply your own equipment. I currently work in the healthcare field and can provide care to puppies and senior dogs and special needs. I can administer medications, change dressings, and more. I work with Military and Police K9s and I’m trained in Animal CPR, First Aid, and Critical Care. I work 2 days a week, I am available at all times of the day and night. I can usually work in last minute scheduling and cancellations. Communication is key. I do not offer any in-house services at this time, but I will gladly come to your house! I prefer that your pet has a harness for walking rather than just a collar, as it is safer for me and your pet. Care will differ from client to client based upon what services you are looking for, just let me know!

About: Hi there! I am currently a new math teacher and love dogs just as much as I love teaching!! I’ve been around dogs my whole life (and have loved every second). Im comfortable walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and keeping company with dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I currently work at a high school, so I’m available weeknights after 4PM and most weekends if I’m not traveling home to visit my family. In the summer, I’m free almost every day. I can easily keep your pet feeling safe in their own home by making sure it has love, attention, food, water, and lots of play time. It’s important to me to keep your animal in the environment it feels most safe in. I’m comfortable walking dogs if there is a leash and letting the dog go to the bathroom without a leash in a fenced in area.

Veronica M.
“Often times I would be away fro. Home too long because of jobs that I needed to do a few towns, or even a few states, away. I had two cats named Jasper and Jinx. They almost literally were my world, they gave me a reason to keep on keeping on. But unfortunately, work needed to be done. So I called upon my good friend Veronica to see if she could help me out. And every single time I asked her, she said yes, without hesitation. They were fairly timid cats, but for whatever reason, they had no problem staying with her. Veronica has a compassionate heart, that is both loving and understanding. If you need a animal sitter, than look no further.”
