So thankful for Gabrielle watching our Mellie, I didn’t have to worry about her at all and knew she was well taken care of 😊 Gabrielle kept in contact and sent photos with updates during the time and I truly appreciated that!

Abby was amazing! Our dogs loved her…maybe more than us. Lol She stayed at our house, left it as clean, if not cleaner than when we left. She kept our dogs company, took them for walks even when she wasn’t asked to. We really appreciate her! Thanks Abby!

Bobbie was great! I was nervous about having a stranger at my house and with my pet, but I spent some time getting to know her and felt much better! She's very kind and warm while also being professional. Super helpful and flexible. I will definitely be making Bobbie my go-to sitter.

Cierra was great! She arrived at the time she was scheduled to and took good care of my dogs. She stayed over night and sent me updates and photos of the dogs during her visit. When I got home the house was just how I left it and the dogs were very happy. She did an excellent job and I look forward to using her services again! Thank you, Cierra!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, growing up around dogs and learning early on the responsibility, patience, and love that comes with proper animal care. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, bathing, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with most breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around pet visits, walks, and feedings to ensure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m organized, dependable, and mindful of routines, so I make sure pets are cared for on time—even on busy days. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and prioritize maintaining a calm, familiar schedule for each pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and house rules. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and secure, with doors and gates properly closed and hazards kept out of reach. I respect your home as if it were my own and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: Looking after your pet family is something I specialize in, I've had my own cats, dogs, and even fish since I was 12, and have experience with giving medication to the most stubborn of pets. Old or young, fur or scales, I'd love to give your pets the most comfortable experience :) Available for both weekdays, and weekends, so take those vacations without worry about leaving your pets behind! Can work with daily check-ins, or staying in house. Your pets will not have to stay in an unfamiliar environment while you are gone, this will cause them to be much less stressed about adapting to a strange place, and will make your furry friend the most comfortable!

It's always a little bit nerve racking leaving your fur babies and house entrusted to a stranger, but Lauri made it stress-free. She provided constant updates and pictures of my pups, which was greatly appreciated. Your pets will be in great hands in her care. I'll definitely be using her services in the future and would recommend Lauri to anyone!

Denise was AMAZING! She was so patient with my shy senior Nikita. The two of them bonded much quicker than I had anticipated and it made me so happy to know that my pup was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with Denise again as she’s become a member of Nikita’s circle! Thank you big time Denise - you are truly incredible.

After meeting Katherine for a meet and greet with my furbabies, I felt my four animals would be well cared for and happy while I was gone for six days. She was completely comfortable with the animals, has a ton of experience, and is working to become a vet. While we were gone, she sent photos almost every day, and even washed the towels and sheets used while she was staying at our house. We would use Katharine again.

Christina was amazing with our kiddos! They absolutely loved her and she sent pictures every day. She was very observant of all three of our animals and noticed when one had an ear ache and updated us on any other possible things to watch out for when we got back. She responds quickly and is not afraid to reach out for questions! We have already rebooked her for our next adventure! Thank you Christina!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior and hospice pets, rescues, and multi-pet households. I approach every animal with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their individual routines and needs. I’m comfortable administering medication, supporting senior and mobility care, and monitoring behavior or health changes. I have extensive experience with shy and fearful cats and never force interaction, allowing pets to set the pace while prioritizing comfort, safety, and consistency I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, with Fridays through Sundays off. Outside of my scheduled work hours, my time is dedicated to caring for animals. I am available for early morning visits and walks between 5:00 AM–7:00 AM, as well as evening visits and walks from 6:00 PM–9:00 PM during the workweek. On weekends, I have open availability and can be more flexible with scheduling. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while working within a structured schedule that allows me to be fully present during each visit. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety, consistency, and respect are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your space, and I take that responsibility seriously. In a client’s home, I closely follow all provided instructions and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I perform a safety check at each visit, ensuring doors, gates, and windows are secure, and I use leashes or secure harnesses at all times. I do not allow off-leash activity under any circumstances. This policy is in place to prioritize safety and prevent accidents, escapes, or unexpected encounters. All walks and outdoor time are fully supervised and controlled. I pay close attention to body language, behavior, and stress signals to prevent overstimulation or unsafe situations. For senior, medical, or hospice pets, I prioritize gentle handling, comfort, and close observation. I keep the environment calm, clean, and organized, and I treat your home with care and respect at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and informed while you’re away. My goal is always to create a safe, trustworthy, and low-stress environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

Randi made herself available on short notice, for 2 meetups which we requested. She was patient getting to know our rescue pup, prior to her house sitting while we went out of town. Our pup can be high energy, and also requires walks daily. Randi handled our pup well, giving her lots of attention and even extra sniffy walks beyond what we requested 💜 She seems to truly love animals and we would recommend her!
