“Cheylee was a wonderful pet sitter for our older Aussie. She kept us updated every day on how he was doing and made our trip away stress free with her excellent communication and care! I highly recommend!”

“Ayla did a wonderful job watching our two large dogs over a holiday weekend! She left our home very clean, sent check ins consistently while we were away, and was so sweet to our pups! Very responsible and would definitely work with her again. Thanks, Ayla!”

About: Raised on a farm and surrounded by animals my entire life, I’m confident caring for dogs of all breeds, abilities, temperaments and needs. I follow routines closely, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and always prioritize your dog’s safety and happiness. I’m available as early as 7am and as late as 9:30pm for walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I work part-time, so my schedule allows for flexible visits throughout the day. Overnight stays are available when needed and can be discussed in advance. I provide care in my client’s home to help pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and rest. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize safety at all times by securing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and monitoring pets during walks and play. I keep the home tidy, clean up after pets, and treat every client’s space with respect. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away
“Anna took outstanding care of our three kitties while we were on vacation and our home was perfect upon our return. She sent frequent updates with pictures of our fur babies playing and being their goofy selves. The communication was excellent which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. Highly recommend her friendly, professional service.”

“Scott was awesome, reliable, professional and great to work with. He was very always responsive and made sure to give me updates twice daily. I hope to work with him again.”

About: I'm a professional pet trainer at a major retail chain. I've lived with a dog, cat, chinchilla, hamster, bird, or fish most of my life. I love fur babies and want help people when they need to be away from their beloved pets. Most recently, I helped sit a household with four elderly dogs with various medical needs. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide. Depending on the pets and the weather, we like long hikes/walks and short trips around the neighborhood. You actually receive two pet sitters with me. My spouse will be home most of the time while I'm at work. I'm also a certified pet sitter with Pet Sitters International. I'm a full-time Pet Trainer at PetSmart, and my wife and I work together when petsitting, so she's there when I'm not. We work together and it's a team business. I like to learn the current routine of your beloved pet(s) and try to keep their routine for their comfort. I make sure I learn your house rules and will not let those puppy dog eyes persuade me to let them on the couch unless you say it is ok. I have my Pet First Aid Course and am taking other courses to increase my Pet Safety knowledge.
“We highly recommend Jessica. She is very sweet and professional. Great communication and took loving care of our clingy poodle. She went above and beyond to locate our home after I made a typo on our address. Will definitely schedule again with Jessica.”

“Awesome communication and attention to detail. We got lots of pictures and updates on our spoiled high maintenance dogs. We came home to healthy happy dogs. We have a mixture of big golden retriever, husky mix and tiny 2 1/2 pound Chihuahua so constant monitoring is necessary. One dog had a wound that had to be taken care of and is a picky eater both issues were taken care of and daily feedback given on our 4 day 3 night trip. I constantly worry when I leave my 2 1/2 pound Chihuahua, but with the communication and feedback I had a good time with no worries as I was updated and sent pics of a healthy happy dog. Highly recommend.”

“Sarah watched our cat and dog for 10 days, while staying at our house. They animals seemed to be happy when we got home and the house was just as we left it. We would definitely use Sarah again.”

“Alexis was a wonderful sitter! She took care of Frank so well and sent us photos throughout the day. She also took him on a walk which was a bonus! Will definitely book her again whenever we need a sitter.”

“Verna took the best care of Cinder. She was professional, super quick to respond and sensitive to Cinders medical conditions. You won't find a better caretaker! Thank you Verna, seriously you are amazing!”

I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Landon provided while looking after my home and dog. From the start, communication was clear and prompt, which gave me peace of mind. Landon followed all instructions perfectly, kept the house safe and clean, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel connected even while I was away. I highly recommend Landon to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet/house sitter. I will definitely book again!
