“Ann was so accommodating as we were travelling in from across the state. She sent great pictures of Ollie and I could not say enough about her kindness and care.”


“Sonya is so lovely and I will be keeping her as my kitty's babysitter for a long time! I always get daily updates on my baby throughout the day, lots of pictures and videos. As a fur-parent we can always tell when our babies are happy and having a good time and are taken care of, and I always see that when Sonya is babysitting my Jinx 🥰❤️❤️❤️”

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life and just love them, doggies especially! I have been trusted with keeping many of my friends pets over the years and taking care of homes. I am in and out of the house during the day working a couple of different jobs all of which allow me to swing by during the day or keep me here during the day. I am always home at night. I have a fully fenced unescapable yard. I have a doggy door so the pets can go in and out as they please. I have a small shitzu who is old and nearly blind and deaf. She loves other animals and keeps to herself mostly.

“Auntie Callie has done it again! Duchess has been loved back to her formerly energetic, happy self. The interaction with other pooches and heaps of love was just want the doctor ordered. Thanks again!”


“As ALWAYS Belle was a spoiled girl during her stay! Katie has kept Belle almost as much as I have during the past few months, which shows how much Belle loves her and how comfortable I am leaving her with Katie. I recommend her 110%!!!”


About: I have been a pet lover since birth. Very comfortable with almost all animals and treat them like a family member always. I have had a total of 5 dogs my entire life and have never been without one. I’ve had birds, fish, bunnies and cats as well. Love pets from tiny to giant. No breed frightens me. I like to rub, pet, brush, tug and throw toys. Slobber does not bother me and love dog kisses. I am very aware of the responsibility involved with care giving. It is like taking care of a baby. They need your undivided attention and time. I am organized. I pay attention to detail. However always flexible as well. This is something that brings me great joy in life I am semi retired and have an open schedule. My days and nights are pretty flexible. I have help with my own pet, so it allows me to be able to do overnight visits as well. My pets have always been my family members. They sleep in the bed with me, sit on the couch with me and watch TV. I like to take them for a long walks and also fun car rides.

“This is our second time booking with Kaee. She is lovely, has a wonderful dog that our dog gets along with, and is always responsive and loving to our dog. Will book again!”


About: I’ve been a proud dog lover and caretaker since I was 10 years old. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, cuddling with a senior dog, or giving a shy rescue some extra patience, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently attend Bishop State as a student athlete, with all my classes being online, which gives me plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable. I have a safe, fenced yard for dogs to play and explore, along with cozy indoor spaces where cats can relax. I prioritize clean water, proper feeding, and plenty of attention so your pets feel secure and loved.
