Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again

Connor is such a polite and sweet person. He took good care of our babies. He is the first sitter besides friends and family we’ve trusted to take care of them and we couldn’t be happier.

About: With a strong foundation in canine handling and care developed over many years, complemented by personal experience as a pet owner. I am currently working part time with a small business dog groomer. As a student, I have three days per week available. My current responsibilities include the dedicated care of two 8-month-old family puppies, and I am actively seeking opportunities to expand my practical experience with a diverse range of canines.

Amy was fantastic! She sent pictures of the cats and updated me regularly on them. Absolutely would recommend her for pet sitting and will book her again on my next trip. Nothing is better than having peace of mind that my pets are cared for when I'm out of town.

About: I have always been a dog and animal lover. We have had a dog in the house for my whole life and caring for them is something I always get excited about. Dogs are probably one of my favorite things. I have pet sitted numerous times individually, most recently for a dog that didn't seem to like anyone, but loved me. I will care for and play with your dog like it is my own. I will brush him/her, run with, give belly rubs, walk, and even pick up waste. I love all sized dogs and all breeds. I will also cat sit, and have experience with that, as well as cat sitting for one who required special care. I am currently working full time on weekdays and will start graduate school soon. I am available to care for your dog or cat after 6pm weekdays and anytime weekends. I am very adaptable in different homes or settings that you live in and that I will be caring for your pet in. I can pick up waste in the yard and great at coercing with treats.

Louann stayed with Koda for a week this time and again she was wonderul. Koda is terrified of storms but Louanne stayed with him and made sure he was ok. She also gave me advice on my home repairs! I couldn't ask for a better sitter than Louanne! She's the best ever!

We were very happy with Joleen’s care of our cat and house while we were away. She took such great care of Kit Kit who is not the most social or friendliest cat around, otherwise known as a PIA. We received picture updates and were so surprised how she had the cat eating out of her hand in no time. The house was immaculate when we returned… we couldn’t ask for anything more. You will never want to use anybody else!

Keri was a wonderful sitter for our 4 girls. She followed all instructions and even had to deal with our 3 big storm fear girls in the middle of the night when a thunderstorm moved in. Everyone had their calming treats and got settled in. We communicated frequently since this was her first time to stay at the house and I am a nervous momma. I got pictures and updates and it was wonderful. We will definitely be using her again.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and my own pet for a little over seven years now. I am most experienced with senior dogs, as most of my friends and family have older dogs with plenty of extra needs. I have fostered puppies for a few years now, and I am very well-versed in potty-training puppies as well! I currently have a full time job, Monday through Friday 8-5pm, some Saturdays 8-12pm and off on Sundays. I will be available to care for your pets in their own environment and safe place so they can feel comfortably in their own space and keep their same routine. I have a large, fenced backyard free of any harmful plants for my dog. Plenty of toys, a neighborhood perfect for walking, practicing leash training, and ample space for my pet to relax and play! I adhere to a schedule, whether it’s for my own or for my client, and I am very strict about it unless there is room for extra time depending on the dog’s mood/behavior. Very energetic, so your dog will receive proper exercise, attention, and so much love in my presence!

We cannot say enough good things about Tabitha! She did an amazing job dog sitting (2 puppies & 2 adults) and house sitting for us while we were away. She took care of everything seamlessly, keeping our pups happy, well cared for, and completely at ease the entire time. She sent pictures often & gave updates as requested! On top of that, she went above and beyond with our home, leaving it spotless, with dishes done, bed made, and everything picked up just as it was (if not better!) when we left. It was such a delight to return from travel to a clean home and happy dogs. I would highly recommend Tabitha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring sitter! Thank you again, Tabitha! Connor & Braylea

About: My mission is to give you peace of mind by making sure your animals feel safe and are loved and well cared for. I’ve always had a love for animals and a passion for caring for them. I have been a pet parent for the past 10 years and have been a part-time pet sitter for friends and family during that time. I have changed careers and am now a full-time pet sitter. I also volunteered at two animal shelters for 5 years. I offer personalized care for your pets based on their needs and routines—whether they’re energetic pups who love to play fetch, or more chill kitties who just need a lap to nap on, I’m happy to accommodate. What makes me stand out? I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll send you regular updates, so you never have to worry, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to ensure your pet feels right at home. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy for your pet and I take that responsibility seriously. I am a full-time pet sitter, so I have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I am available for drop-ins, overnight visits and boarding all throughout the week. I have a fenced in yard with pet turf for your fur babies to run and play. I treat your dogs as if they were my own, providing lots of love and attention. The dogs have free roam of the house including my bed for lots of cuddling.
