In a single phrase, Cheyenne was "PERFECTLY AWESOME"!!! She was not only prompt, but also caring and attentive to my dog's needs. And, Cheyenne was especially affectionate toward Lilly, which Lilly certainly enjoyed. Too bad there was only five stars to be given! I will DEFINITELY want to book Cheyenne in the future!

We couldn't be happier with the care our two cats received from Alissa while we were away. We couldn't believe that she actually saw both cats almost every day as they are notorious for hiding from strangers. We hope to be able to have her again!! Highly, highly recommend.

Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.

About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I've worked in animal rescue, done trap-neuter-release, cared for a colony of feral cats for a decade, and fostered more kittens and adult cats than I can count. I offer visits, walks, overnight stays, or I can live at your house while you are away. I am a nature and wildlife photographer so I have gotten to know, to one degree or the other, all of the animals around my home, which, I believe, helps to make me comfortable with all types of pets. I also offer pet portraits! I have experience with all of the usual pets, plus a few unusual ones too. I will take good care of your dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small animals and even tarantulas or insects. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I will let you know how the visits are going. Your pets will be safe and well cared for with me. I have a regular part time job with a flexible schedule so can be available just about anytime. Let me know what you need and we can work it out. Home visits run about a 1/2 an hour and include, depending upon your pet, a walk, poop scoop, litter box cleaning, feeding, watering and treat dispensing, and pats and cuddles.

About: I have cared for my own dogs in my family for the past ten years and have sat animals in my extended family. It is important to leave your furry family members in the trusted care of your sitter or walker which is why I treat your pets like my own. I currently work from home two days a week and am available on weekends. My weeks are flexible and can do early morning or evening drop ins. In my own home we make sure our furry friends are comfortable- we walk on leashes and when in a fenced in yard will always keep an eye on them!

I recently had Jill watch my puppy, Fritz, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Jill ensured Fritz always had food and let him out for bathroom breaks. She was very accommodating to our needs and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

About: I am a lover of all animals and have had a large percentage of them as pets currently and in my past. From the usual dogs and cats to chickens, lizards, parrots and everything in between. Right now I have three rescue dogs (Brussels griffons), rescue parrots (African grey and Senegal), eight chickens and a couple of tanks of fish. I would love to bring my experience to your home to make sure your pets get the attention they need during the day when their parents are at work. I look forward to bringing the same love and patience that I have showered my own pets, past and present, to yours! I’m currently open from 9-3 during the week Weekends I could be available for in house boarding for small dogs and other animals as needed. I have a large yard that contains a fully fenced in portion with three friendly and playful Brussels griffons. Otherwise I can pop in to your house and spend however much time you need to break up your workday for your pets.

Jennifer was excellent, especially when it came to meeting my 12 year-old fear reactive Australian Sheppard. We took the meet and greet slow to make sure everyone was comfortable. It worked because their first check-in visit went very well.

About: As a professional dog trainer, I have a deep understanding of canine body language and behavior, allowing me to tailor your dog’s stay to their unique personality and needs. Whether they love playtime, prefer quiet snuggles, or need extra structure, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Every dog is different, and I customize my care to what works best for them! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My life revolves around dogs 24/7, with most of my work consisting of Zoom meetings and training sessions. If I do leave, it’s only for 1-2 hours max—but even then, I have a live video camera set up so I can keep an eye on your pup. It even lets me talk to them and dispense treats! Whether they need playtime, enrichment, or a cozy spot to relax, they’ll always have the care and attention they deserve. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. Whether they love to play, relax, or enjoy the outdoors, I adjust their stay to what makes them happiest. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • Dog-Friendly Lake Access – I live on a dog-friendly lake, and during the warmer months, I can even take your pup swimming if that’s something they enjoy! • Constant Companionship – I work from home, so they’re rarely alone. • Live Video Monitoring – If I step out for a short time (1-2 hours max), I have a camera that lets me check in, talk to them, and even give treats. • Crate-Free Environment – Your dog can enjoy their stay without the need for a crate, as I have a dog-proofed home that keeps them safe while preventing them from getting into anything they shouldn’t. • Personalized Care – I understand canine body language and behavior, ensuring their routine fits their personality and comfort level. • Daily Enrichment – Playtime, mental stimulation, and structured activities to keep them engaged. • Cozy & Safe Environment – Whether they prefer a quiet nap spot or an active day, I create a space where they feel at home. Every dog is different, and I make sure their stay is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!

Cheyenne was wonderful + attentive to Dallas while I was away. She went above + beyond so he warmed up to her in no time. Seeing him being given that loving attention made me feel so much calmer about being away.
