“We're so grateful to have had Piper as our pet sitter while we were away on vacation. She took amazing care of our cats, providing them with love, attention, and a comfortable environment. Piper was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated with us regularly to keep us updated on our fur babies' well-being. We highly recommend Piper to anyone in need of a wonderful pet sitter - our cats are already looking forward to her next visit!”
“Alicia was a wonderful sitter! We booked her last minute and she was so kind to come meet the pups and us the day before. She spent plenty of time at our house with our 2 dogs and cat. They were very loved and taken care of and it was easy to see in the frequent pictures and updates she sent! Highly recommend Alicia and will be using her again.”
“Chloe was great this weekend with 4th of July. Our puppy requires medications daily for anxiety and extra during the 4th because he gets scared. She helped keep him calm and gave him what he needed. She stayed at our house all weekend. She is very neat and clean also. Thanks Chloe!”
“Bridgette and her family were fantastic with our fur babies. She sent us regular updates and pics of the doggies and kitty cat. The house was left clean, definitely an added bonus. We will for sure call Bridgette when we go out town next. Thank you Brigette!!! You are the best!!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Kayla! What sets me apart is my calm, dependable nature and hands on experience with pets of all ages. I’m great with both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra love and care. I always take time to build trust and make sure every pet feels safe and happy. Pet care is a regular and meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine. Animals thrive on routine, I do my best to stick closely to the schedule and habits they’re used to. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me, it’s something I truly enjoy and take seriously. Pets are Family. Caring for pets at a client’s home requires responsibility, attention to detail, and respect for the client's space and their pet's needs.
“Had a great experience with Angela. She made the effort to come meet the dogs before the actual stay. She communicated and sent pictures while I was on vacation. Definitely would recommend and hire her for future trips.”

“Mikayla was fantastic looking after our dog, puppy, and 3 cats last minute over the weekend. She was a great companion for our pets. Our puppy is 11-13 weeks old and has a demanding schedule, Mikayla did wonderfully meeting the needs of lil Mousse. Responsive, professional, flexible with meet and greet times, and patient as we assembled our Rover profile. The pets were happy and the house was as we left it. Highly recommend and would book again for housesitting.”

About: I am really good with animals in general, I currently own my mini poodle who is fully trained at 1 1/2 years old. I love training her and understanding her wants and needs, which also helps me understand other dogs when I take care of them as well. I am a trusted pet sitter for my huge family and hopefully you can trust me around your best friend. I am currently working part-time from 10am-4pm, no work on weekends. I go to community college in fall again, however my time is just as important as yours and I would still love to enjoy time with your pupper. I care for my animals as if they are children. They have the same wants and needs as us people do and I take care of them with love and compassion and of course with fun activities.
“Tyler did an excellent job taking care of our 3 dogs' individual need at our home while we were gone on a much needed vacation. He gave medicine to our senior dog who is blind and helped our dogs through their separation anxiety in our absence. He even sent us pics.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a bit of time now and have 3 of my own along with 2 cats that are my younger siblings so I know how important these precious babies are and will treat any dog under my care as one of my own. I will do whatever is required of me and then some, need to walk twice a day? Done, need to be fed a certain way? Done; just know that if you choose me you don’t need to worry about the safety and care of your pet(s). I am not currently working at the moment but I am attending school over the month of June and have a class from 9:30 to 12:30, so if you need me to be with your animal all hours of the day just know that. Depending on the service required of me I will do my best to exceed it and give your animal all the care and love I would give to my own.
