“I have used Laci for both drop in and overnight services. She met with us for a meet and greet before the sitting dates. My Lola took up to her right away. Laci provided updates and picture and followed directions left for her the day of the sittings. I would seek out her service again for sure!”

About: My whole life has been filled with inconsistencies, the only thing that has remained true to my heart is my love for animals and Jesus. I've been a single mother to my beautiful son, born with health issues. I had to quit work a few years ago, my son is now in school so I do have the time for a job now, thankfully. I have always had a deep passion for animals and would absolutely love to help others with their pets. I'm available all weekdays from 9am-3pm, I am open to weeknights/weekends if you are comfortable with my son being with me also. I can get help for certain situations if need be, (Grandma) will watch him for me. Growing up we always had cats/dogs, also fish and hamsters which were short lived, literally (lol). I have wanted my own dog my whole life, I don't have the time and attention that having a dog of my own needs right now. Taking care of others and spending time with them is as close as I can get and I am happy with that. I do currently have three beautiful cats which I absolutely adore, they're all different in their own way and they all mean so much to me and my son.
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I think my first gig I was maybe 13??? (I'll be 40 this year.) I just remember walking into my neighbors house after I fumbled with the key and the cats being happy to see me. I have experience with senior cats and kittens alike, and also dog care from puppy to senior. I can administer oral medication in pill pouches but I don't like the forceful method. I can also help with topical medications as needed. I do have formal training in any of these areas just many years of helping take care of my own and others. I am working part time so I have plenty of time to help with all your pets needs and wants. Play time here we come! I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a park 3 miles from my house that is gorgeous for dog walks. I have an entire bedroom that has been converted into a work area for other animals or a guest bed can be set up if I have a human over. But cats can have tgeir own space and litter box in this room or if a dog is getting overwhelmed we can go sit in there and have quiet one on one time.
“Katie is not only a great sitter but stays cool while facing an emergency situation (two visits from the fire department in the middle of the night!) 😳 A faulty smoke alarm ! Katie, thanks so much for your care of our brood and handling a tricky situation !”

“Eli was punctual, his communication is excellent! He watched over my dog like I would have and put my mind at ease. He sent pictures and was overall an A+++ sitter! Highly recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been at the center of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since 2010 and bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for large breeds, small breeds, puppies, and senior dogs with a wide range of temperaments and needs. What truly sets me apart is my combination of veterinary experience and real-world, positive reinforcement training. I spent five years working and volunteering in a local veterinary office, where I gained experience with oral medication administration, senior dog care, post-procedure monitoring, and recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort. This allows me to provide attentive, knowledgeable care — especially for dogs with medical routines or special needs. With my own three dogs, I’ve consistently practiced positive reinforcement training and structured routines. I’m comfortable working on leash manners, reinforcing basic commands, redirecting high-energy behaviors, and supporting puppies as they learn structure and consistency. I also have experience with rescue dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and strong pullers on leash, and I approach every dog with patience, calm energy, and clear communication. Whether your dog loves long walks and active play or prefers predictable routines and quiet companionship, I tailor care to their personality and comfort level. I understand how important trust and communication are, and I prioritize keeping you updated and confident while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family — with dependable, structured, and genuinely loving care every step of the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday with a hybrid schedule, which allows for some flexibility. I am consistently home and fully available most Fridays through Sundays. For dogs who are comfortable being left alone for 6–8 hours during the day, I can also accommodate overnight stays during the week with advance notice. I prioritize clear communication and scheduling to ensure your pet’s routine is consistent and well cared for. I care for every dog with attention, compassion, and professionalism. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. In both my home and my client’s home, safety comes first. I follow routines closely, ensure secure environments (doors, gates, leashes), and keep pets clean, comfortable, and well cared for. I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs — whether that’s exercise, structure, medication, senior support, or calm companionship. I communicate frequently with updates and photos so you always feel informed and confident while you’re away. My goal is a safe, stress-free experience for both you and your dog.
“We have had the honor of having Jenna sit for us TWICE now. She not only stays at our house but she sends me daily updates, which I LOVE!!! My 3 big babies are always happy and in great spirits when we come which tells me she loves them as much as we do while she is there. We will definitely call upon Jenna anytime we go out of town. Thank you Jenna for being so awesome!!!”
