“Tara did an excellent job, especially with communication. I felt informed & the dogs loved her! They definitely enjoyed having play time & snacks with her. She really went above & beyond, even offering to water my plants. Thank you again! ♥️”


“I cannot say enough good things about how Samantha is! I had a baby not knowing when I would be away from home and for how long, Samantha was extremely flexible and went above and beyond even before I went out! She sent us all the updates and pictures so while our stay was extended at the hospital we knew our girls were happy. If you are hesitant about leaving your fur babies you can rest assured Samantha will love on them and they will love on her 😊”


“Jolynn was great with our dogs! We have a German Shepherd and a lab mix and we went out of town for thanksgiving and didn’t have anybody to watch them. She came 3 times a day. She fed, watered, and let them out in our fenced in back yard. Each time she let them out she sent us pictures. Will definitely have her watch our dogs again! 10/10 recommend!”

He was there on time and followed the instructions to a T, and made sure they were able to play and run. I thank him. He gave me a sense of comfort that he was taking care of them and communicated with me effectively.”

About: Been taking care of doggos since I got my dog 7 years ago. Walk, play, feed, etc! I love sweet fur babies! Happy to help. If they don’t get along with other dogs, please keep looking for another sitter. I have my dog full time and he is the priority. If they’re friendly with other dogs, we’re happy to have em here (: I work Thursdays after noon-Monday evenings but I’m free to watch your fur babies in home Tuesday and Wednesday on my days off. I stay home and relax those days I have a back yard but it’s not fenced! Happy to take your dogs potty on leash just in case. Always get some runners lol don’t want that

About: I've had dogs since I was a toddler. I love dogs and have cared for puppies and older dogs. I am energetic and love to play . I'm currently finding my niche after working in customer service for years. Dogs have been a part of my life and I am currently looking for my match dog. I have a fenced in yard and your dog can play with me there. I love to walk, so we will be walking a lot. I would snuggle too.

About: Growing up I wasn’t able to have pets, so I always volunteered to care for my neighbors pets. It was the best part of my childhood. Now that I have pets of my own, I’ve realized how much goes into it. I’m constantly researching new things to help my pets thrive. I rescued my dog as a puppy from the side of the road when I was 13. I had to learn to potty train her, leash train, etc. Realizing how many things could hurt her, even my everyday foods was enlightening and scary. Learning about cats and dogs is so intriguing and I want to understand each and every animal I take care of on a personal level. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 2 year old and newborn. While my little need a lot of one on one time, they sleep a lot allowing for plenty of time to spend with my fur baby as well as yours! My apartment complex offers a fenced in area for animal play which my pup loves taking advantage of. About once a day we go to said area to play and get all of our energy out, when we’re more on a time crunch we’ll take a lap around the building. We tend to go on walks every 3-4 hours or as Trixie let me know she’s needing to potty!

About: 3 years experience in the pet world! I am able to walk your dogs up to 5 times a day, play with them for many hours & drop by to make sure they are doing just fine while you’re away. Work can be overwhelming which is what I’m here for! You don’t have to worry when leaving your amazing animals with me. I accept dogs, cats & can even care for any small friends too! I’ve played soccer all my life & enjoy running around so your energetic lovelies won’t be too much to handle! I’m in college which keeps me pretty available & able to work when I want. I am not strict on animals at all, animals should be able to roam freely & express themselves just as we do! I currently work on my own time & pace! Working with your lovely furry friends fits perfectly into my free schedule. They will get all my attention & more! I care for all animals equally. Being attentive is important when dealing with pets & they will have ultimate care & attention when in my hands!

“Sarah has provided amazing care over the years to my two rambunctious golden retrievers! They appreciate the undivided attention that she gives them and how much she plays with and cuddles them.

Additionally, she has a flexible work schedule which makes scheduling very convenient and ensures she can provide proper care to my dogs. Besides caring for dogs, Sarah is also mother to a sassy kitty and she would make an excellent cat sitter too!”

Dylan R.
“Dylan has watched our dogs for the last decade for both quick overnight trips and longer out of country trips. We’ve never had an issue and our dogs love him. Dylan also recently trained our new pit rescue to walk on a leash which I thought would be impossible! We can now take her anywhere without any problems.”


Sierra S.
“Sierra is an EXCELLENT pet sitter and house sitter. Sierra cared for my senior dog with special needs on several occasions, staying at my home with my beloved dog Nikka. Sierra administered her morning, mid-afternoon and evening meds without fail. She provided photos to me while away which I loved seeing. She walked Nikka several times a day and in the last year she walked her with the harness to support her hind legs which no longer supported her. She maintained her routine (diet, meds, walk schedule, outdoor time) and was there with her overnight as well. Nikka was 100% comfortable with Sierra.”
