About: I have always loved animals. Had dogs and cats growing up. Would always want to take the stray home or help the wounded ones. Over the years my family and I have had numerous dogs, rats, hamsters, cats fish goats and chickens I work full time but have time before and after work to feed, walk, play or just sit and hang out with your animals. I can also come and visit during my lunch breaks. I'm half to stay overnight in your home or have your fur baby stay with me! I have a ½ acre that is completely fenced out in the country. lots of room for your dog to run. I can also stay at your home if that's where your animals are most comfortable. I will make sure they are fed and always have water available. I want your dog to feel like they are at home and safe
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for everything from llamas to chickens, dogs, and cats since childhood. Dedicated to providing compassionate care, whether it's playtime or simply keeping them company. Your pet will be in good hands! My part-time work schedule means I have lots of free time to shower your pets with love and attention! I'm available most days and evenings, so whether you need a midday walk, a fun playdate, or overnight care, I can make it work. I'm all about creating a happy and stress-free experience for your furry friends. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pet, I maintain a clean and hazard-free home. I'm experienced in handling animals of all sizes and temperaments and always prioritize their well-being. I'm also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain consistency with their routine and address any unique needs they may have.
About: With over 15 years of experience in dog sitting and walking, caring for animals isn't just a job, it's a passion. I believe pets are family and should be treated with the same love, attention, and care we give to our closest loved ones. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or a cozy cuddle, I make sure every pet I care for feels safe, happy, and truly spoiled with love. With over 15 years of experience in dog sitting and walking, caring for animals is second nature to me. I work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy a routine of morning, lunch, and evening walks—and on weekends, you’ll find us hiking or exploring local parks I have a fully fenced yard that's perfect for safe outdoor fun, plenty of toys to keep dogs entertained, and a pet-friendly home where pups are welcome on the couch for snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I make sure every pet feels happy, relaxed, and spoiled with love.😊
“Julianne and Ragen took great care of our pup Georgia, they were flexible and accommodating and get me up date while we were away. We will use them again in the future if we can!”
About: I started my first pet sitting business when I was just around 7-8 years old. I used to pet sit out here in the same area of Ruch. I grew up out here. As an adult now, with many of my own animals, I am now offering my services again. I rarely go anywhere because I do not like being away from home and my animals. I'm almost always available and close by (servicing only Ruch). I grew up with, and took care of, many kinds of animals; horses, donkeys, goats, dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, rabbits, etc. Being around animals gives me life and I love to help make animals feel special while their humans are away. It's already stressful for them, and for you too, so make it easier with someone who talks to them and makes sure that they feel special. I live at home with my hubby and he is adored by every animal that meets him. He even stole my main doggy daycare client! Know when animals are here, they're cherished by both of us. I have my own small businesses that I can work on anytime I feel like it from home, which gives me great flexibility. I am available to take care of critters in the Ruch area almost any day, minus some appointments that I have sometimes. When I'm not here, hubby is here to watch them. In my home: To protect my own cats and dogs, I need to ensure that your dog is friendly with my animals, vaccinated, and protected from fleas and ticks. Outside is fenced in with no climb fencing and acreage for roaming around our house, they get to let me know when they want to go outside, or come inside. My dogs knock on the door and tell me what they want (in or out). I'm sure they will teach your dog to do the same. When inside, we read, nap, cuddle on the couch, floor, in front of the wood stove, or in a crate if your dog desires. Outside, there are a couple of acres to run and explore. I spend all day tending to my dogs and can do this for yours too.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember! I have 2 dogs and a cat now and understand the stress of finding a caring home while on vacation. I have experience with the extra care needed for senior dogs (our senior just passed this year. 😢) I work from home and can provide potty breaks for puppies and seniors that can’t hold it like they used to, as well as walks and play time. Being home means full supervision as well as plenty of check in pictures of your special fur baby. I have 2 dogs that will keep your pup company. We also have crates if reinforcing your current crate training routine is required. I do not have a fenced in yard, but live in a quiet community where I take my dogs for frequent walks.
About: I've always loved taking care of all animals, especially dogs and cats! I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors' pets since I was 15. I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am mainly available around 9 am-4 pm for dog walking, in-home pet sitting, or overnight boarding, every day of the week. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play and a husky who loves small dogs! I can also crate or separate the dogs. For in-home pet sitting, I can also visit multiple times a day to feed your dog or let them out for a potty break. I can also follow specialized care instructions for senior or disabled pets.

Tera H.
“I truly can't speak highly enough of Tara and how she cared for our pup, Tarachi. Over the summer, my wife and I took a two week trip to the Florida keys. We agonized over who to entrust with the care of our dog, as like most pet owners these days, she is an important part of our family. Our daughter brought Tara to our attention. We contacted her and asked if we could pay a visit to her home to determine if we would feel comfortable with her keeping our dog for that length of time, and found the place to be a doggy paradise! Tara herself was so personable, kind, and friendly, and we were left feeling completely at ease. She went over exactly how Tarachi would be cared for, and details of the property. We left with full confidence that she would receive great care. During our time in the keys, Tara was kind enough to periodically send us videos of our girl just having the time of her life, and it just completely alleviated any concern whatsoever over the quality of care she was receiving. Upon our return, we found Tarachi as happy and healthy as can be. I almost felt bad for her when we took her home, she was so content. My wife and I have agonized over the past few years over finding people to watch Tarachi, because first and foremost, we didn't want to leave her in a facility in which she would be confined to a small area and/or be treated as a simple business transaction. We can now rest assured that we have absolutely nothing to worry about when we plan future trips. We couldn't be more pleased with Tara. it is such a relief knowing we have a happy, temporary home for our girl in which she will be treated as a member of the family. Absolutely head and shoulders above any other facility we have found, and we have researched a load of them.”
Jianna B.
“Jianna is the best with Milly! She is reliable and easy to get in contact with. She also give regular updates on Milly. 10/10 recommend :)”

Erica A.
“For all the animal lovers. Erica has a dig that is 12 yers old. It’s like her child. She wants the best care of our family pets. She’s very conscientious when it comes to their care. Walking them , loving on them and the occasional treat. She is very trustworthy to say the least”
Julianne & Ragen W.Star Sitter
“Julianne and Ragen took great care of our pup Georgia, they were flexible and accommodating and get me up date while we were away. We will use them again in the future if we can!”
Jamie V.
“Jamie is an absolute light and her love and passion for animals is evident. It was so nice knowing that our animals hardly noticed us being gone when Jamie was in charge. She brings calm and joy and the animals always feel at ease. She takes direction easily adding another layer of peace of mind when my animals are in her care. I can't say enough nice things!”
Deanna H.
“I highly recommend Deanna for watching anyone’s pets. I have a three-year-old Belgian Malinois and Deanna is the ONLY person I trust watching her. Deanna is very well-versed in training dogs and has an uncanny ability to create a bond of trust and respect with them right out of the gate. If you need someone to watch your pets, she would be the first person to call!”
