“If I could give more than five stars, I would. Justine was great with our dogs. We felt comfortable leaving our girls with her. She sent pictures and played with them in the yard. We have already re-booked her for our next trip and have recommended her to friends.”

“This was my first time using the app and was a bit skeptical as trusting someone with my pup is a huge relief when going on vacation. Charlotte went above and beyond my expectations with communication, care, and making sure my questions were answered with live updates while I was gone. She will continue to have my business and I can now travel with ease knowing that my dog is in good hands. (If you are on the fence whether to board or book house sitting go with house sitting and chose this app with the quality of care and your dog will thank you) Thank you charlotte for your services!”

“Claire did a great job of bonding with our beagle. Bailey can get a bit of separation anxiety when we leave her, but Claire stuck with it and the two ended up getting along well. Also, she left the house probably cleaner than we left it. We would absolutely hire her again.”

“Korbin helped us out ,are Baby Torro 135 lbs American Bulldog needed to be cared for while we were out of town. He took Good Care of are Large Dog and provided security to are home.No need to look further Korbin K. #1 Best.”

“Jessie did a wonderful job watching my house and taking care of my dog. I could tell after being gone 5 days that Cato was in good hands with the routine updates and pictures. Cato was happy to see me when I got home but was also relaxed. I could tell that he and Jessie got along great.”

About: My whole childhood was spent chasing after critters of all kinds on my grandma’s farm, this firmly cemented my lifelong passion for making new furry friends. I give great scritches, brush until the fur flies, and do my level best to spoil rotten the all of God’s creatures. I’m also an accomplished artist who specializes in drawing pet portraits who’s always available for commission. I work from home during the day so I’m able to accommodate walks and check ins but I am most available in the evenings. I am currently unable to accommodate aggressive dogs, but otherwise I’m very happy to work fearful critters who may need time or space to feel safe.
“Leo was thoughtful, proactive and communicative. He regularly checked in, was patient and kind, and even got good feedback from the neighbors. When the dog was sick he took time to pick up meds for her and to share how she was doing throughout his stay. Thanks for caring for Mabel, Leo!”

About: **About me** I have always wanted to move to the country and care for animals all my life. My husband (Patrick) and I currently have three rescue dogs and 5 outdoor rescue cats. We also have two horses Valentine and Peanut that love to walk the trails with us. My passion is caring for animals and I have had years of experience raising all breeds and types of pets! We live in a small home built on 31 beautiful acres. We have a fully fenced large back yard and several wooded trails, a beautiful pond in the front yard and lots of room to play! Your pets will love coming here and it will truly be like they are on vacation. I have 4 grand pups that come to the farm regularly and they get very excited to visit. **About my home/services** I will provide a loving and fun environment for all pets that come here to stay! They will be safe and will love every minute of their stay! **About my neighborhood** We live on 31 acres with only 1 neighbor close. We have a fully fenced back yard and a pond to fetching toys if your pet loves to swim. We have wooded trails that we often take walks on and we will have lots of exercise or just hanging out in the back yard.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a very long time. I own a cockapoo named BaeLee and she is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. I now own 2 dogs: Benito and Bernie. Benito is a Rottweiler mix and Bernie is a lab/pitbull. I adopted both from the shelter and have loved my new additions to my family. I take care of my family’s and friend’s dogs all the time from watching them, playing with them, feeding them, and walking them. I am very good with dogs and can be very patient if I need to be. I love sitting down and working on tricks. Having two puppies has taught me the importance of routine and training but also fun! I take care of my pup daily. From the time I wake up until I go to sleep I am always attentive to her needs. Every now and then I’ll take care of my uncles dog throughout the day and take him out every two hours. I am very nice and patient with animals. I love to pet them and play fetch or tug of war. I do not like to touch other’s things when I go to their houses and I respect their rules. I don’t do what I wouldn’t like done in my home to other’s homes.
About: I've had dog companions/besties since I learned to walk. They taught me how to love unconditionally, and it made animal care and advocacy my calling. I was studying veterinary medicine before I moved to Topeka, and recently I decided to take animal care back up. I also volunteer at the humane society, so I can spread that passion as wide as this community lets me. I dream of tails wagging and goofy tongues out as far as the eye can see! This is my number 2 priority after my own pack of critters. I intentionally schedule in plenty of time so yours are taken care of and tongue-out-happy! I try to give trauma informed care, which means I cater the visit to your pets needs and what they're comfortable with, so that we can build a trusting relationship. After that, improvement and success is a piece of cake.
“This is the second time Sean had stayed with our dogs and he has taken great care of them! He kept us updated about our loved ones and we knew they were in safe hands.”

“Carson did a wonderful job house sitting with our German Shepherd for 1 week. She sent pictures and updates. We were quite comfortable leaving our boy, Jax, in her care. I would not hesitate using Carson again in the future.”

“Our dogs seemed so happy bin the pictures and they sent daily pictures of all 4 of our fur babies! They came a day early to meet our dogs so they would be more familiar to them. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors since I have been a child, and when I was a teenager I would dog-sit for family friends and people in the community. I love doing this, and I always make sure to leave things better than I’ve found them! I’m currently working, so mornings, evenings, nights, and weekends would work best for me!! I occasionally get Wednesdays off as well, so I could work some Wednesdays!! My home has a large backyard with plenty of space for pets to play and use the bathroom! My home is one story, with toys and bowls! In your home, I would make sure toys/things are organized how they were, the home is clean, and work to clean up after the pet as well!
