AMAZING!!! Tracy watched our fur babies while we were off getting married. INCREDIBLY professional. I gave her the number to my personal attendant; even though I got updates through the app Tracy updated the attendant so as so not bother us on our special day. I would recommend her to anyone & hope to use her again! 2 paws up

Roswell was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She took great care of our puppies while we were out which gave us peace of mind. We will absolutely trust her to care for our fur babies again.

About: Not Just a Pet Sitter — A True Animal Caregiver I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up caring for dogs and helping my parents raise chickens, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with farm animals including goats, pigs, cows, and sheep. I’ve helped with daily feeding, cleaning, health checks — and even assisted in delivering a baby lamb.Whether it’s your family dog or a small backyard flock, I provide dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your animals are safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I am currently open for any time of the day or night monday thru friday. And am available 12pm-5pm on sundays. I can somwtimes make an exception for Saturday's if I am given a notice a few days ahead of time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Animals feel safest in their own environment, so I follow your detailed instructions closely — including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs.

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."

About: I grew up with animals and as an adult i have had cats and dogs my whole life. I have also enjoyed caring for friends and family pets when needed. I have volunteered at the ARL and received some training. I have an open schedule with lots of flexibility that allows for plenty of time to take care of or hang out with my furrbabies. I prefer to keep dogs leashed when a fence is not available. My cat stays indoors. I treat my pets as my children. For outdoor cats, it depends on the owner. I have seen GPS used to keep track of their location outside.

Angie did a great job taking care of my two kitties they were both relaxed, healthy, and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her... she spent a good amount of time each visit not only feeding and cleaning up but also holding and petting them. I am booking her again for my next trip this coming February.

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

Rachel is a treasure. Rachel has watched my two cats twice. This second time was while I was camping for the weekend with very limited cell service. It was really reassuring to know my fur babies were in such capable hands while I was away!

Amy is wonderful pet sitter. She is very responsible and punctual. Amy asked a lot of details about my cat and how to care about him. It was very easy to communicate with her - she sent a report about each visit (with photos) and responded promptly and in detail. I recommend her as a pet sitter.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up & always helped with walking them, feeding them, giving them all the extra snuggles, etc. I have watched my friends pets when they are away many times & I would love to watch your furry friends & help out with whatever is needed! I am currently working part time at a dance studio Monday & Tuesday nights in Colfax at 4:45-7/8pm so that would be the only thing to work around. I would let the dog(s) as much exercise or playtime as needed or wanted. I also have a 3 year old dog who would love a play date if your pet(s) were in my home.

Katie does a great job communicating with us throughout the process - all the way from booking to after her visit with our dogs have ended. She is very accommodating and helpful, and we truly appreciated being able to trust her with our two furry family members! It helped make our stays away from home much less stressful!

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets. I would prefer to have your pet in your home! I think that will be best for your pets safety and mine too. I’m willing to do what the owner is wanting for their pets comfortability.

About: My love of animals started from a young age. I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to pigs and horses! I have fostered and boarded a variety of dog breeds and cats, and I currently have a dog and 4 kittens - so you can trust your pet will be in great hands! I am an active teacher, so I stay busy throughout the week, but I am off on holiday breaks and weekends, which is when I will be most available! I do also have afternoon and nighttime availability thought out the week on occasion. I provide personalized care for your pets by sticking to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they have. I ensure their environment stays comfortable and safe while you’re away, offering companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and photos will keep you informed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands!
