“Beth took care of both my little Yorkie and old Cat this visit and they were both well cared for and happy. I got back to a tranquil home after a short overnight trip.”
“Christine is excellent. She sent pictures and took care of our cat, Sandy, while we went camping for the weekend. She even made sure to play with Sandy so she didn’t get bored. It was a relief to know she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since 2016, when I purchased my own. For 5 years now, I have been offering pet care services in my home and in my clients homes as well. I have experience with litters of puppies (my dog had one litter of 9 in 2023, they are both now fixed). I am familiar with medication administration as well as senior care and following strict diets! I currently operate my own cleaning business and have open availability and a flexible schedule to do dog walks, drop in care, and over night stays as well! I like to make sure animals stick to their schedule and have a safe environment to play in. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it is a large backyard with ample space to run and play. If care is done in your home, I make sure to follow all rules provided and make sure the animals are in a safe place at all times!
“My kittens took to Courtney right away which made me feel great about leaving them with her. She stayed with them on our boat so we had a LOT of details to leave her with and she handled it all very well. I appreciated the daily updates and photos so I knew they were happy since this was our first time leaving them with anyone. We came home to happy kittens and a clean space. Will use her again if the need arises!”
“Perfect for our aging pup! We are new to the area and Brandi was absolutely amazing with our house and dog. We will definitely be rebooking and letting the neighbors know about her stellar care for our fur baby ?”
“We have had Amanda stay with our German shepherd, Bella, twice now, and have her booked for a third stay. Our Bella LOVES her and so do we. Bella is happy and the house is immaculate when we come home. She sends me a picture every day. She did a great job of taking care of a hot spot on Bella's foot, keeping it bandaged better than we have, I think. We will continue to try to book Amanda for every trip we make when we can't take Bella with us.”
“Beth did a great job with our pets! Our home lock gave her some obstacles and she did a great job figuring it out so our pets could have relief. We appreciated having photos everyday and she did a great job throughout the stay!”
“Brianna was a delight to have watch our pack and cared greatly for our home while we were away for a week. We enjoyed our vacation with no worries our pups and cat were in great hands... upon our return the animals concurred and had a great time with her.”
“Ashley house sat for us while we were on an extended vacation for over 2 weeks. I think the house was cleaner than when we left! And that is no easy feat having to pick up after our German Shepherd, Miia. Came back home to a very happy and content dog as Ashely spent a lot of time playing with her and keeping her engaged. Couldn't be happier with the job she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter.”
“We are SO happy we found Kyle. He checked in with us daily, sent photos and kept us informed regarding everything with our pups and at our home while we were away. We hate leaving them and usually stress about it. We didn't worry about them at all while Kyle stayed. Highly Recommend! Thank you, Kyle!”
“Dylan immediately understood our pets needs and required very little direction. He was very attentive during his week long booking and kept our pups very happy. I would highly recommend him and will definitely try booking him again in the future.”
“Conscientious, caring, and knowledgable about dogs. I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in Sherry’s competent hands. Deeply grateful to have met her.”
“Carinna was great with our boy, Odin. She took him to the dog park and got along perfectly with him. We had full peace of mind while we were away at our son’s wedding. I highly recommend Carinna!!”

“Very good sitter - will hire again!!!”
“Marcus stayed with our two large dogs while we were out of town visiting family. Marcus came to our home before hand to meet our dogs and to learn where everything was that he would need for his stay. He took our dogs for walks each day, and spent a lot of time loving on them while we were away to make them comfortable. I highly recommend booking Marcus for all your pet/house sitting needs. Having someone reliable and dependable is a must for me when it comes to my dogs and he did not disappoint. He left the house the way we left it and I will be rebooking him for our next trip.”
