About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. My family recently got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on.

This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.

Lanae K.Star Sitter
“The hardest thing to do is find care or someone trust worthy to take care of our furry friends. Have you ever cancelled your get away plans? Decided to take your furry friend with you and regretted the choice because every day you spent away you were force feeding them cdb or some type of medication to calm them during your trip away from home leaving them lethargic? Or hired someone not really certain if they were the right fit for your furry buddy? If you honestly said yes to any of the above...then you need to call Lanae. I have known and used Lanae over the years and my mini schnauzer absolutely loves her. Lanae loves all types of animals and has been a great provider for care to our mini along with experience in providing great care for others animals with her experience at the vet hospital. Lanae cares about our pet and cares about yours. You won't be sorry!!!”

Jennifer S.
“Jennifer would make a great pet sitter for anyone's pet, she's a very caring person for humans and animals. Although, she's never taken care of my animals, I know that she does whatever needs to be done for her own cat. She did animals for fair for many years and I know she cares about animals and humans alike.”


Madeline W.Star Sitter

Joel B.
“I do not trust my fur babies with anyone but Joel. Joel met my doggo with me, before taking the "job". He is kind and caring of my dog's boundaries. She is a Chihuahua and has big Chihuahua personality, walking her with other dogs can be difficult, but Joel gently took care of the walk situation. I have very detailed instructions when I leave. Joel follows the instructions exactly as noted, potty times, food times, play times, bedtimes and just cuddle times if doggo so inclined. I check in regularly as all fur baby parents would. He always answers and gives me updates as to how things are going. He is even willing to face time me so I can see my fur baby. When I get home, my baby is happy, no stress, happy to see me, and obviously well cared for. I recommend Joel as a 5-star fur babysitter.”


Emma W.
“Emma is an excellent pet care giver. She loves all animals and has years of experience caring for them. She care for animals as if they were her own pets.”


Roy J.
“There is no one I would want more to entrust my pets with. He has always been kind and loving, not just to his own pets, but to all animals. And equally important, pets favorably respond to him as well. Over the years I've had a mix of experiences, including sitters who do the bare minimum and leave. I know that with Roy that will not be the case. He will go out of his way to ensure that you and your pets have an exceptional experience.”


Bradley K.
“Bradley and his family have cared for my dogs and the dogs of family and friends for many years. Animals in their care, whether in their home or anywhere else, are loved and treated well. Their own dog knows no strangers and seems to be filled with joy at all times! Bradley manages her exuberance with a great combination of gentleness, humor, and boundaries. My dogs feel safe with Bradley and enjoy snuggles and belly rubs from his kids.”


Mary D.
“I've known Mary for 18 years. We together have started an organization called Transfer Foster Adopt and we transport dogs to no kill facilities and foster care givers. I believe Mary would go to the end of this Earth to save a dog. I've seen her work endless hours upon hours to save a dog. Her Loyalty and tenacity has amazed me as this is her passion. I'm blessed to have Mary and our organization and what the future brings. I know that Mary will thrive in any situation working with or caring for dogs. She is very patient and very loyal to her passion. I highly recommend Mary Daniels.”

Anna K.
“Anna is nurturing, compassionate, and caring in all that she does. She’s the first person that comes to mind when I think of someone who puts her dog and his comfort before her own. Honestly, anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their own!”

“Ren is an absolute gem when it comes to dog sitting! From the moment I dropped off my furry friend, I knew they were in good hands. Ren's attention to detail, care, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. My dog came back happy, well fed, and with a wagging tail, a true testament to Ren's exceptional dog sitting skills. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ren to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
