“I am so thankful to have had Kristi house sit and care for my fur babies, she kept them engaged the whole time to the point where my son's and I were joking how the dogs are going to want to live with Kristi. She not only played with them, worked on tricks with them but also loved on them and we received daily pictures and updates. She even cleaned!!!! She gardened and planted plants for me. All things that needed my attention and did not get until Kristi showed up. She even found and picked up glass that was in my backyard that the dirt had been throwing up from previous owners. She went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! She made me feel safe and comfortable that everything was and would be OK. We LOVE YOU KRISTY ?”


“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”


“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”


“10/10 recommend Rhiannon! My dogs were comfortable with her as soon as they met and I felt at ease leaving them with her. She sent photos of updates and I could see my dogs laying with her just like they do with us which is great to see and provided even more comfort. Will definitely be looking to book her again.”


About: since I was young, we’ve had dogs. matter of fact, there’s never been a time in my life we didn’t have a dog! i’ve had experience dog sitting for every kind of dog you can think of, size, strength, medical diagnosis’, you name it. i’m currently on the search for employment, so as of now, my schedule is completely open! Eventually i’ll be heading back to school, but the plan is to take online courses so as of now, there’s no restrictions. Safety is my number one priority. I have no problem following routine for your pups, even if they seem like odd requests. I have no problem completing any task that is asked of me.

“Victoria arrived exactly as scheduled and did an awesome job with our dog. We received pictures and updates during our time away. She went above and beyond to help our 2 kitties feel at ease as well. Definitely will ask for her again!”


“Jeanne was AMAZING! I was worried about my dogs being away from their home but they loved her house too! I felt like I didn’t have to worry at all when I was gone which is such a blessing! I will definitely ask her to watch them again! Also, she got me in LAST MINUTE. I couldn’t be more thankful!”


“Kat did such an amazing job with all of our animals while we were out of town! She kept us up to date on everything and shared daily photos of the pets. She also kept our house very clean for us to come home to. She is very sweet with the animals and took such great care of them.”


About: i have taken care of animals all my life from dogs, cats, lizards, and birds i will make your animal feel loved just like if it was my own pet im currently working part time at a dog grooming place so im not busy so i have time to walk and take care of your animals when needed. i have a huge yard for my six dogs where we go out when it’s nice out to play ball and run to get some energy out of them and we have a separate room for their crates so when we leave we put them in crates so they don’t get into anything

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I love having them here so much. I dont get them everyday, 4 to 5 times a month, overnight. Sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, or more. I take care of my mom, she has Dementia, and the fur kids love being next her, shes so happy and less stressed when they are here. She remembers alot when their here. I tend to cuddle with them all day & nite when they stay. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.
