“We’re repeat customers of Tracey and we’d love to have her back next time we need pet care! She is a great pet sitter to our fur babies and is very reliable.”
“Victoria sent us such cute pictures of our cats when they came for drop in visits. I always worry about our extremely social cats not getting enough love & attention while we are away. It was clear they went the extra mile to make sure all our cats’ needs were taken care of, not just food & litter.”
“Awesome as always. Even stayed w/Dirk extra as he was afraid of the thunder. Truly does care about your animal, no matter what kind, as if it was her own. Going to make her a regular thing just like daycare.”
“Connor did a great job taking care of Moose. We had some cameras set up to keep an eye on Moose, and Connor was very helpful to set those cameras back up after Moose knocked them over each day 😸. It was clear that Moose was a lot happier after Connor came to check on him each day, and Connor took great pictures of our cat! I would definitely hire him again.”
“Mary went over and above on her visits with Roxy and Little Roxy. She came morning and night for most of the week on days we arranged. She sent pics of the animals so my daughters would know the dogs were all good. She played ball with the dogs and Roxy even got to swim while Mary was with her. She went as far as throwing some grain into the pasture trough for use. Thanks so much Mary. We will be calling on the next trip. You can't go wrong with Mary!”
“Exceeded my expectations!”
About: I have had pets (dogs) for 7 years. They truly become a member of the family. I walk our own dogs sometimes 2 times a day, I play catch with them in the yard, and will take them for rides in the car. All of our pets have been pet trained and potty trained successfully. I am a teacher so right now I am at home with my 3 boys. I don't want to teach summer School because I need to be home most of the day with my boys and I want to enjoy my summer. This is a great time for me because I do have a 14 year old who can babysit while I am away but also because I need a flexible schedule since he is doing football and strength and conditioning. My husbands paychecks have not been very consistently and I am trying to help out where I can but also spend time and enjoy the summer with my kiddos. I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I always make sure my dog has water available, comfortable bedding, and I walk our dogs and show good pet ownership by making sure we pick up any doodies in neighboring yards.
“Genesis did a wonderful job looking after my pets (2 large dogs and a cat) for a quick road trip over the weekend. Most definitely will use her again.”
“Holly is amazing! Our cat needs medication and an inhaler and Holly did a great job giving her everything! Our cat is shy and not a fan of new people but Holly handled her with care. She went above and beyond!”
“Kiersten is amazing from our meet and greet we knew she’d be great with our Jagger Dood! He loves her and she’s so good with him and follows all our needy instructions :) we will continue to continue to use her for all of Jaggers doggie sittings :)”
“Haley was a great sitter for our pups! She took lots of pictures and sent helpful updates every visit. She was also very patient with our Great Dane puppy who is still learning her manners. Thank you Haley!”
“Rachel helped me last minute when another Rover did not show up and kept me updated the whole time!!! I am so grateful.”

“Dogs love Amanda. We have several dogs over the years, and they all seem to gravitate towards her. She is patient, cares deeply about their health and well-being and loves to cuddle with them. They love to cuddle with her to. She seems to get them to do what she tells them to do. She has a big heart when it comes to caring for dogs. Our dogs lived a long, happy, and loving life knowing that Amanda was there with them.”
Sarah B.
“I had the pleasure of having Sarah care for my dog, Pickles, during my recent trip, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I met Sarah, I could tell they were a true animal lover. They were friendly, professional, and very attentive to my dog's needs. Pickles is a bit nervous around new people, but Sarah was patient and took the time to build trust. They kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and even some extra cuddles. When I returned home, Pickles was happy, healthy, and content. I could tell that Sarah truly cares about the well-being of the pets they sit for, and I will definitely be booking them again in the future! I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy dog sitter! She's amazing!”
