About: I have always had large dogs around me all my life. As soon as I turned 18 I found my first shelter dog - a Husky! I fell in love with the breed and homed and loved 5 huskies since. I watch my neighbors Australian Shepherds' and Samoyed for years when they go out of town at my home with my own dogs. My pet care experience comes with just a true love dogs and having them around all my life. I work for the school system so my hours are fair to help with your needs. I'm also available for weekends and most holidays. I will also have more time in the summer to play with your fur babies. I can accommodate much of your needs for you dog(s). Whether at my home with a large fenced in yard plus my 10 year old husky looking for playmates or in the comfort of your fur babies own home.

Debra was great with our two dogs for a five-night in-home stay while we were away. She is very professional and experienced. Debra provided daily updates and photos which was so appreciated. She brought in our mail and an even a large package we were not expecting to be delivered while we were away.

Shawn did a wonderful job watching our Huxlee. When stressed Huxlee stops eating but Shawn provided her with a a can of food that she was able to eat. When our return flight was cancelled, Shawn was able to stay on till we returned.

We went on vacation to the other side of the US. It was so great not to worry about our dogs as we knew that we're in very good hands with Jennifer. She sent us pics at least 3 times a day. She took great care of our dogs!!!

Christine was absolutely amazing with our two miniature dachshunds while she stayed at our home. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our 10-year-old girl Lychee had an allergy flare-up, and Christine followed all of our instructions carefully with both her medication and topical treatment to help keep her comfortable. We truly appreciated how attentive and responsible she was with her care. We came back to a clean home and two very happy pups. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. We honestly can’t recommend Christine enough — we are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 11 I’ve had my own personal dogs for 5 years now and then I used to work at a dog grooming shop as a groomer and still am on the side! But I’ve recently became a stay at home mom for a sweet 4 month old boy! I’ve also worked at dog daycare center as well. I also am a cat mom to and almost 15 year old kitty! She is my soul kitty and I love her dearly! I recently became a stay at home mom and I’m wanting to make a little extra money to help my husband out! My schedule is pretty flexible and taking care of animals comes easy to me! I personally leave my dogs out day and night. They typically sleep with my husband and I in bed and are the worst bed hogs😂. We take them on evening walks a few times a week and also like to take them on car rides to my parents house! But I’m open to care for my clients animals any type of way they prefer!

I highly recommend Starla or house and dog sitting. She truly loves and cares for pets. She was wonderful with our two mini dachshunds for a week and she left neat, no sign that she was even here. Starla sent us up dates several times a day. She was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies!

Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!

Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.

Jennifer is always great with our Cru and I feel at ease knowing he's in good hands with her while we're out of town. We love that we've finally found a dependable sitter that understands his Boxer energy like we do. We love having Jennifer as our fur baby's sitter, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Lisa, Dave, and Cru ☺️🐾

Brittany was the only person outside of our family and circle of friends who our dog Lily responded positively to! Her meet and greets meant so much to us and Lily that by the time the date came to house sit for us, Lily greeted Brittany with her special doggy smile full of teeth and jumped onto her chest! She texted me some photos and explained how Lily was feeling. She followed instructions on feeding and playing and understood Lily’s demeanor. I felt Lily and our home were in safe and capable hands. Brittany was a professional.

I couldn't be more thrilled with the outstanding care Danette provided for Buddy. Coming home to a genuinely happy and content pup speaks volumes about the quality of Danette's service. Her attention to detail, love for animals, and responsible approach make her an exceptional dog sitter. I highly recommend Danette to fellow pet owners looking for top-notch care for their furry companions. Thank you, Danette, for going above and beyond!

About: I have three dogs that are full of energy and have had multiple pets ever since I was a child! I dont have any children of my own and consider my pets as my children 😊 I understand the concern of wanting your pets to be watched by someone you can trust who will communicate with you effectively and care for them as if they are their own pet. I currently work full time as a pharmacy technician but I am available in the morning or after work for walks/ pet care. I also am normally off weekends and can work around schedules as needed. I am flexible to any needed care/ accommodations needed to take care of your pet and can also dispense medication to them if needed. I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

We had such a wonderful experience with Anabel ! She took amazing care of Abbie and treated her like one of her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Abbie was in loving, capable hands while we were away.She kept us updated with such great photos of our sweet Abbie, made sure Abbie was happy and comfortable, and went above and beyond to make the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Abbie! Looking forward to using in the future!

My dog has major separation anxiety, and Jen and her mom Rosa do such an incredible job with him! I always feel confident leaving the house when they are in charge. My pup gets loads of attention and cuddles, and they follow my instructions perfectly. Im going away for vacation in may, and they are the only dog sitters i would trust!

Kayleigh was wonderful…I had a great deal of peace while out of the country for my son’s wedding! It was the first time I left my fur babies with a hired sitter vs. a family member or friend! She sent me videos and pictures and was sure that Buddy, my high energy Portuguese Water Dog, got plenty of exercise! And she was happy to have Buddy sleep in the bed with her since that’s where he sleeps every night with me! Highly recommend her!!!

Both of my mini Australian Shepherd's adored Colin! He was very attentive and played with them a lot! They both slept like babies after he was here for the night! We will definitely use his services again ! Our dogs went to the front door to watch him, leave and looked sad! He was well loved and very respectful at our home!

Jennifer was great with Birdie and we had no worries about her separation anxiety. Jennifer sent a picture and a video in the short window we were away and I was reassured that everything was going well. We appreciated that she was available for 3 hours on Christmas day so we could enjoy our family time. We will definitely be booking with Jennifer the next time we have to leave Birdie. Birdie and Jennifer became best friends on Christmas day!

Brittany arrived on time, and provided photographs and feedback on our Great Dane's activities. She left the house in the same condition as when she arrived. She gave us updates on our girl's eating (she sometimes doesn't eat well when we are out of town), and let her sleep with her a bit! Overall, good experience! Thanks, Brittany!
