“Robyn did a fantastic job housesitting/petsitting. She kept the house just as we left it, and the pets were all happy! Easy to communicate with her. We will rely on her again!”

“This is the second time we have had Audrey watch our pups and she does a wonderful job! We’ve already booked her for our next vacation. Communication is great, she sends pictures, and is very respectful of our home.”

“Courtney was AMAZING! We were a little nervous as this was our first time having a house/dog sitter. But Courtney far exceeded our expectations. She was sweet, her communication was timely and she went above and beyond to make sure our dogs we happy while we were gone. We will definitely be using Courtney again in the future.”

“Christina was amazing and my dog LOVED her. She sent pictures to ease my nerves about leaving her with someone and it was easy to see that she knew how to work with dogs I would 110% recommend her to watch your fur baby”

About: With years of hands-on experience breeding dogs and training German Shepherds, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, structure, and care to every pet I watch. From high-energy working dogs to beloved family companions, I provide attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether it’s structured exercise, basic reinforcement training, or just dependable companionship, your pet will be in experienced and caring hands. I have part time job that I work at occasionally, but my passion is caring for our furry friends! I have 3 of my own and always find my most joyful moments are spent loving on them. Caring for pets is all about meeting them in their comfort space and going from there. Each furry friend has their own boundaries and when caring for them, it is vital to get to know them and build a trusting relationship with them, based on their personality. A meet and greet is the best way I have found to start this relationship.
“Kaitlyn is wonderful. We have 2 dogs and a cat. One of our dogs is VERY anxious. We needed someone who could take extra care with him and she definitely did. She stayed overnight with them on our home. She arrived promptly, followed all instructions and sent multiple photo/text updates. She played with them and adapted to their lifestyle/schedule. I would 100% have her stay again and I definitely highly recommend her.”

“My kittens took to Courtney right away which made me feel great about leaving them with her. She stayed with them on our boat so we had a LOT of details to leave her with and she handled it all very well. I appreciated the daily updates and photos so I knew they were happy since this was our first time leaving them with anyone. We came home to happy kittens and a clean space. Will use her again if the need arises!”

“Rebekah did a great job pet sitting at our house with our 4-year old lab/belgian manois shepherd. We had a very last minute need for 4 nights/5 days in our home and Rebekah managed to make it work with short notice. Maya was happy and she has a new friend in Rebekah. We highly recommend her.”

About: I've had dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens on my small farm. Guinea pigs, hamsters, and snakes I've been surrounded by animals of all kinds. My experience includes caring, raising, training and giving medical care if needed. I also have a degree in animal science. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work weekends and holidays. I am very dependable. I send pictures and daily updates. I would love the opportunity to feed, play, and insure your pets are doing well. I know how to approach animals, both timid and energetic. I have the experience to know when an animal is fine or in distress and can be trusted to give the proper care that's needed.
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life as a child, wildlife rehabilitator and as a wildlife biologist. For the last year and a half I have built a very nice reputation as a dependable and loving pet sitter. I have watched dogs, cats and birds! I have taken care of many senior dogs as well as a few puppies. Needless to say I’m not afraid of a pee pad or pill bottles! I work remotely and choose my hours, meaning, I can be with your animals at all time if need be. I do not mind staying with them 24/7 while you are away. It also means you can contact me any time that you need too. I live on a dead end road with very low traffic and have a very large yard. We will also go for nice walks down to the river where our road ends and a trail leads out to the river. My two main borders often do not want to leave or they want to come back home with me. It’s a great spot for dogs, whether they need to be leashed or not. If I am staying at your house I will always follow their normal routine. I really like for my clients to leave a note with food instructions, treat instructions, medicine, and daily routine. I also like to have a just incase number (neighbor or family member in the area) and the veterinarian. This is all just incase of an emergency and to make sure your pet stays safe and has the best time possible with me.
“john is the best!! he is incredibly personable and took care of our tank as if he were his own. he kept us updated all weekend long and left tank happy and well looked after. it was nice getting away for the weekend knowing tank was in good hands, and we cannot wait to have him back soon. thank you, john, for the great service!!!! 10/10 :)”

“This was our first time hiring a Pet sitter. Jerry is the friendly fellow who loves everyone, Joe is the stand offish guy who watches for awhile and then warms up. Heaven came to our house for the meet and greet and Joe had no problem with Heaven putting his leash on and following her around the yard. We were sent picture updates daily of them playing and having a good time as well as some cuddle time in front of the TV. This allowed us to feel at ease and enjoy a much needed vacation. Thank you Heaven!”

“Marcus stayed with our two large dogs while we were out of town visiting family. Marcus came to our home before hand to meet our dogs and to learn where everything was that he would need for his stay. He took our dogs for walks each day, and spent a lot of time loving on them while we were away to make them comfortable. I highly recommend booking Marcus for all your pet/house sitting needs. Having someone reliable and dependable is a must for me when it comes to my dogs and he did not disappoint. He left the house the way we left it and I will be rebooking him for our next trip.”
“Christine accommodated a last minute schedule change where we needed her 2 extra days. She was patient and loving with my very scared boy. He was comfortable and happy in no time thanks to her TLC. She left my home immaculate. I felt so much more at ease knowing she was watching my precious pup. Thank you times a million for making our first time leaving Sport so much easier. Also, the pictures were very much appreciated.”

“We were super anxious about leaving our dog and home but Liz made the experience as stress free as possible. We felt comfortable with here the moment she met us and Gizmo! She kept us updated with pictures of our dog and how he was doing throughout the day. I would recommend Liz to any one needing a house/pet sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thank you Liz. You rock!”

“I typically do not post reviews on-line for anyone who has performed services for me for reasons regarding my business. However, I was so impressed and excited with how Beth cared for my pups that it was clear in my mind this time I needed to do so. Getting right to the point, Beth is the most caring, lover of animals who is completely in tunned to pets. She knew immediately what and what not to do for each of my pups. Seriously, she is like a dog whisperer! She is by far the BEST sitter I have ever had, and I have had many. She left our home in tears, which made me cry and my pups ran to the window to watch her go. She is my sitter as long as she continues to sit, and for sure, it doesn’t get any better than this!”
