“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.”

“Kelley was amazing. She took care of our two dogs (one was puppy who is very high energy and doesn't give you a moment of peace) and bird for 2 nights. I know the puppy ran her ragged. Loved the pictures we received each day. The house was clean upon our return and the dogs (and bird) were happy and obviously well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend Kelley.”


“This was our third time having Rachel in our home. She was on time, as always. Our three girls love to see her drive up, as do we. She is pleasant, courteous, and definitely loves our girls(and they love her). She sends updates and pictures, and always responds to me when I want to check in. If she needs to leave to take care of her own dogs, she lets me know and isn't ever gone long. We have a special needs blind baby, and a hyper-active Border Collie. Rachel is spot on as far as accommodating their needs, as well as being a knowledgeable dog person. Our home is always as we left it when we get back. We will be using her every time we need to leave town in the future. I'd recommend her to anyone, anytime! We feel safe with her being with our babies when we can't be.”

“Ann was absolutely incredible! Our English Bulldogs can be a bit high-maintenance, but she took exceptional care of them. She stayed in constant communication while we were away, sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing how much fun they were having made it so much easier for us to relax on our trip. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare our home for the winter storm that hit while we were gone. Ann was truly a blessing, and our boys already can't wait to see her again 😊”

“Brittany took care of our pup with no problems. We appreciate her communication and willingness to meet our pup before her stay. We also appreciate her being respectful to his schedule and keeping him active!”

“Hailey did a wonderful job taking care of our two pups! We experienced some last minute travel changes, and she was flexible and accommodating prior to arrival as we tried to navigate that. While we were away, we received updates and photos to know they were doing well. And when we returned, everything was in perfect order! We are very grateful for her and will be rebooking in the future!”

“Dani is the best!! She watched our dog at our house for a whole week between Christmas & New Years. She is very reliable and kind! Her communication was great - we received lots of sweet pictures and updates throughout her stay which was such a treat! Our dog immediately took to Dani and they became best friends right away 🥰 It was so nice knowing Winston was in good hands while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furry loved ones!”

“Kelcie was great with my pup! My pup has had some health issues & only ever stayed with family while I was away. I was honestly quite nervous leaving my girl behind for the weekend but once I met with kelcie I knew I could rely on her to take great care of my pup. Kelcie communicated through out the stay, sent pictures & took great care of my pup & house.”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving my pet with someone new. But the experience turned out amazing. They were very kind, reliable, and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My pet looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about animals. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Meleah was amazing! She communicated, sent updated and pictures which I loved! She was super sweet and my dogs warmed up to her quick. Especially my girl dog who is a little timed with people but she did amazing! Definitely will book with her again!”

“Bailey was absolutely fantastic! She came to our rescue at the last minute and took great care of our babies. We were in such a rush, and I don't think I prepared her as well as I should have, but she handled everything like a pro. We truly appreciated her help. Thank you so much, Bailey!”

“Tara is the best! We will definitely hire her again. My babies had a great time with her while we were away. She was in contact the entire time we were gone and sent pictures everyday. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry about the pups. The house was just as we left it when we returned. Thank you so much Tara!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, literally since the day I was born. My experience spans dogs, cats, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, and rabbits, giving me a deep understanding of animals with very different personalities, needs, and routines. I began fostering animals at 12 years old alongside my mom, helping care for them and place them into loving forever homes. My first job was as an in home pet sitter, and I immediately fell in love with providing animals the consistent care, attention, and comfort they need while their families are away. For over 10 years, I managed a farm, which taught me how to confidently handle multiple animals at once, follow detailed care routines, and stay calm, observant, and organized in dynamic environments. While I have years of hands on experience, my love and respect for animals has always come first. As a pet parent myself, I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Because of that, I’m intentional about clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in caring hands while you’re away. I’m currently working remote so my schedule always is very flexible. I can provide multiple potty breaks through out the day and I also enjoy taking pets on a mid day walk. I have a fenced in yard, two friendly dogs and a quiet neighborhood perfect for our daily walks. Crating is also available per your request.
