About: What happens at Gma's house stays at Gma’s. Having fun is what is important. We love to play tug of war, chase, fetch, or just cuddle with your furry family. Our goal is to make Gma's house so much fun they look forward to their next visit and hardly miss Mom and Dad. Harley & DaKota love to have friends over to play and will quickly teach their furry friends what fun it is to play inside and in our big fence in yard outside. The dog door allows everyone to go in and out when they want to. We have lots of toys, mind puzzles, activity games, yummy antlers and bones, and other things to chew on. We have play areas so if one just wants to chill and watch out the window, they don’t get in the way of those that are rough housing and playing. I work from home and Jerry is retired. So rarely are they home alone. And the dog door is always open. Our goal is to make your family part of our family. We have two fur babies to keep your pups busy. They become one of the family. We have lots of space inside and outside to roam around.

About: I have been a cat and dog owner my whole life! I love all kinds of pets and think of all pets as family members. I have worked as a dog and catsitter for family members and friends of family, so I have a lot of experience with different pets. I have experience petsitting dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, and squirrels (for a wildlife rescue team)! I have trained my own dogs and have even done some cat training (with as much as a cat will let you train him/her)! I have a cat with special needs, so I do have experience with animals that need extra help. I have also taken care of many senior dogs and cats. Does your pet have accidents in the house? I am more than willing to clean up after whatever mess they may have made -- anything to make your furbaby comfortable! I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, so I have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I am mostly available on weekdays, but I can do weekends if I have enough notice. I will have my daughter with me to take pets for walks or whatever care your pets may need! I have a couple acres for my pets to run around. I have an incredibly friendly lab that would be a great playmate if you are looking to socialize your dog as well. I also have cats and chickens that are well socialized to all types of animals! I have a kennel if one is needed.

“Thank you, Sarah!! We couldn’t be happier with the care our old kitty received. We enjoyed the pics and knowing that Tiger got his outside time every day while we were away. He’s a stickler for fresh water and a clean litter box and Sarah made sure he had what he needed. We will definitely book Sarah again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up training hunting dogs. I got my own dog about 5 years ago and she’s super energetic so I’m well versed in walking and play time with all dogs. I can also give medication if necessary. I’m very easy going and ready to love on those doggies and create a good experience for them and you! I’m a medical school student, currently on break so I have a bit of free time on my hands. I would love to help you and your babies! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m happy to answer. I’ve never not had a pet so for me it’s pretty routine. Having a pet that depends on me helps keep me motivated and active! I’ve always treated my pets like a family member. I also love meeting others as well. I’m such an animal lover and I will treat your babies like I would treat my own, with love and respect.

About: The safety of your pet and your property are my highest priorities! My warm, easygoing personality help put both pets and people at ease. While I will eagerly help care for most ages, senior pets have captured my heart the most because they often need the most TLC. I've both owned and fostered senior cats, and I've dog-sat for seniors several times. I work in freelance editing and writing, which allows me to work anywhere and at any time! This gives me the freedom to pet sit according to your schedule. Other than your pet, the safety and security of your home is my top priority. I will ensure all appropriate doors are latched and locked properly, and if I see anything odd or suspicious, I will immediately let you know!

About: I have 3 years of experience in house sitting and dog sitting with my neighborhood. I have walked, bathed, fed, and cuddled with multiple dogs and have been trusted to take care of any extra issues or tasks that families may need. I am a collegiate student-athlete home for summer break looking to spend most of my time with friendly pets. Being a student-athlete has given me great time management skills and an open schedule after early morning trainings. I have a fenced backyard for any needed supervised playtime along with a large neighborhood for lengthy walks and exciting walking paths. I love to create new and exciting experiences for pets no matter where I am.
