“Monica did a great job taking care of my two kitties! She gave them plenty of attention and sent me lots of pics. I will keep her in mind for the future.”
“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”
“Brad does a great job for us. He is always prompt and sends us pictures during every visit. Our two 75 lb rowdies were very happy and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Brad to care for our dogs when we're out of town.”
“Lisa is very caring and thorough. I had total peace of mind while on vacation that my cats were receiving proper care and attention. My cats and I couldn’t be happier with the service Lisa provides.”
“I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care”
“Alexandra is the answer to my prayers! She is kind, caring, has great communication, and is conscientious not only of my dogs but of my home! I’ve already booked with her!”
“We are so grateful for Chelsie and the amazing care she provided for Lacy! From the updates and photos to the extra love and attention, it was clear she was in great hands. We came home to a happy and well cared for furbaby! I highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Andrea was on time for each visit and went above and beyond with the communication and photos! Looking forward to having her back for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”

“Javon is always so great with my pups! I am confident they are being cared for and loved while I’m out and there are always wonderful pictures at the end of the day. Highly recommend!”
“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”
“We booked with Natasha for the second time. She is wonderful! Our dogs are so happy to see her and she sends great updates and we love the pictures. She’s the perfect sitter for our two pups!”
“Allison did a perfect job checking in on my two cats while I was out of town. Booking her was fast and easy. She is punctual, respectful, follows directions, and is very communicative. She gave a thorough update and went above and beyond in her care. I definitely recommend booking with her. Thanks again, Allison!”
About: I’m the go-to petsitter in my friend group! I grew up on a farm with dozens of pets and I love getting to know new animals. I am open to caring for any critters and can’t wait to give your animal some one-on-one attention. I have a flexible full time job (M-F, 9-5) where I travel around the DSM area which allows me to stop in and check on pets whenever. I’m free on nights and weekends. I’m diligent when it comes to privacy and safety and believe in treating every animal and home with care. I think communication with owners is huge and I like to check in frequently.
