About: I have 15 years of experience working as a veterinary technician, along with a lifetime of caring for and loving animals. My veterinary background has given me extensive hands on experience with dogs, cats and other animal species of all ages, breeds, personalities, and care needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra attention and special care with medications, recognizing changes in behavior or health and following detailed care instructions. Most importantly I work FULLY REMOTE so I do not leave home most generally unless to take my dog for a walk, visit the farm for open running and space, or short errands. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I'll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved and well cared for while you're away. I am so happy to provide you with regular photo/video updates so you can enjoy your time away without worrying about your furry family member. I do not use crates/kennels in any way unless that is your preference or training method. I own a dog as pictured whom is very friendly and used to having playdates with all pet breeds and species and is very well trained, gentle and calm and loving to others of all ages and seems to change her disposition and energy level based on how playful or age wise the other animal is. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I work remotely full time. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they need. I’m available for overnight boarding as well as daytime care and can accommodate many weekday and weekend stays. I can fulfill long multi week stays if need. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. With 15 years of experience as a veterinary technician, your pet’s safety and well-being are extremely important to me. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets and pets requiring medications or additional care. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for like one of my own.

“Nicole took such amazing care of my dog, Chiquito! ❤️ She was so kind, patient, and loving with him, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She kept me updated, treated him like her own, and made sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. Chiquito can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up to Nicole so quickly, which says a lot about how caring she is. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving with animals. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my little Chiquito! 🐶💕”

“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”

“I was nervous using Rover as it was our first time. Aimee watched my dog for 9 nights and she and her family did an amazing job looking after our dog, including walks and playtime. I highly recommend Aimee as she is a caring and compassionate provider.”

“Pip had a wonderful time at Emily’s home with her and her Fiancés dog Frankie! Emily was flexible with scheduling pickup and drop off times and sent plenty of fun photos! Pip will be visiting again!”

“We are SO grateful for Kat. She allowed our Dakota to stay in her home for a week while we were away for our wedding. Before the week vacation began, I was so nervous to leave Dakota with someone I didn’t know, we’d never done that before. Though, Kat went above and beyond. She moved plants around in her home to help keep Dakota safe. She allowed Dakota to drink water from the sink, like she does at home, to help keep Dakota happy! During the stay, she sent pictures and updates each day. And at the end, she had everything packed and ready to go for me upon pick up! It couldn’t have been a better experience and Kat a more perfect sitter. We will definitely be asking Kat for her help in the future! Thank you!!!!!!!”

“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”

“My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!”

“Paul and his son did a 10 star job of watching my Rowdy, a Golden Retriever. Rowdy is over 10 years old in human years which makes him over 70 in dog years. In all that time, this is actually the first time I’ve ever boarded Rowdy. That alone tells you how protected he is-rarely is he out of my sight. I am so thankful that I chose Paul to watch over Rowdy. I hit a home run for sure! Paul was so thorough and heartfelt in his care of Rowdy, for he kept me in the loop, he touched base with me through the app consistently, and sent me pictures of Rowdy, at play and during movie time. I could not have been paired up with anybody more well equipped than Paul and his family. It touched my heart when Paul mentioned that he recently lost his pet companion of many years, and that this time with Rowdy helped fill the void and gave him that sense of companionship once again. Paul is the real deal and he went above and beyond in his caretaking of my best friend, and he did it with compassion and a whole lot of heart. One couldn’t ask for a more genuine caretaker for their pet! Thank you Paul for helping me in this situation, you are most appreciated!”

“A safe, happy, relaxed place for dogs. Scout was welcomed into the pack and happy to have friends. Jake has a calm, confident way with his pack that my dog loves being part of. I'm waiting for the pic of rebel Scout on the dining table 🤣”

“Kathryn was amazing! Everly is very skittish and she did great with her and was very patient. She loved the fenced in yard and got to run around! We will definitely be using Kathryn again!”

“Sana has been a great hostess/sitter for Lucy. She sends frequent updates and pictures. Also asked great questions to get to know Lucy better. Lucy is an aloof cat who is slow to warm up to people, however she allowed Sana to an approach and pet her almost immediately. She has gone the extra mile to make sure Lucy recieved her medication”

“I have two small dogs. One of them is super sweet and everybody’s favorite. The other is standoffish and identifies as Houdini. They both did very well staying for almost a week at Katrina‘s house. When they came back home they were calm, with no signs of anxiety. I have had to use dog sitters three times this year already. This was the first time with Katrina. They did much better with her. She seems to genuinely enjoy having them stay with her.”
