“Kira was great with our puppy and two cats. She stayed at the house for 3 nights while we were away and was very clean and courteous. She asked great questions, and sent pictures too. We would love to have her back in the future.”
“David, we felt an immediate calm when we met you and saw you with Harry. Our snowboarding trip was a blast and we did not worry about our boy. We hope you will be willing for more stays…we want to snowboard more!”
“Julia was great! She was responsive, and really helped us out on very short notice. She was wonderful with our two dogs, who can be a bit of a handful, and great at communicating with us while we were away, with photo’s and texts.”
“Simply put….Exceptional! I cannot give Kathryn enough praise. Our pets are our family and she took that to heart. She kept us updated the minute she walked in the door with pictures and texts. She rarely left their side and any concerns she had she contacted us ASAP! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and my pets loved her as much as we did!”
“Katherine was absolutely fantastic! She walked both of our dogs twice a day, kept our home clean and tidy, and communicated with us regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. We came back to happy pups and a spotless house. Highly recommend her!”
“Carolyn was amazing - again!! This was her second time taking care of our dog, Roxy. She took her on so many walks and hikes and just took amazing care of her.🩷 We are so appreciative of how kind and communicative Carolyn is when we're away.”
“Noelle took absolutely wonderful care of my dog (and chickens)! She was in touch ahead of time to confirm details and while I was away she sent me photos and updates on how things were going. (And I enjoyed a relaxing vacation knowing my animals were in good hands!)”
“Emily and Sarah were amazing with our dogs while we were away for the week. They not only cared for our pups with love and attention, but also kept the house spotless and treated our home with respect. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates—they gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Paris took care of Paloma for four nights while Paloma entered her first heat - Paris is knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and knew how to handle everything and gave us tips as well. We’re very thankful and absolutely recommend her to others! I know Paloma is already missing her!”
“Laura was great with my golden when I left town for the weekend. She got walks, cuddles and Laura sent photos and let me know everything was going well. Thanks Laura!”
“Brittany did a great job with Archie and was really flexible with scheduling last minute. She sent me many updates (photos too!) and there was no doubt that Archie was in great hands! We will definitely book Brittany again! Thank you, Brittany!”
“It is a great feeling knowing that Matt is watching Lola. Matt sends us updates and photos the whole time. Lola always looks so happy. We know our girl is in good hands with Matt.”
“Sara is absolutely amazing!! She’s so thoughtful & kind, my pup took to her right away as did I. Sara asked important questions about Lokey that I hadn’t even thought of. She stayed with him while we were out for a long evening & we received plenty of pics & updates. Most importantly we returned home to a very happy furbaby who I had to struggle with to keep him from following her out the door when she left!! That said it all to me, Lokey has picked Sara as his all time favorite so we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Courtney was a great house/dog sitter for us! She was prompt, professional, eager and enthusiastic. She took great care of our dog, taking her out for multiple walks and play-times each day. Gogo was a happy pup when we returned home! We’ll definitely book Courtney again in the future!”
“Lexi was great!very communicative and friendly with both me and the dogs! I’ve already booked her again!”
“Elizabeth left our house very tidy and our pets very happy! I really liked that she sent updates and pictures to let us know how everything was going. She answered my questions and check-ins quickly.”
About: I have many years of quality animal experience, starting with caring for my own family farm animals when I was small. I quickly grew a passion for animal care - caring, training and competing with a myriad of animal species throughout my teenage years. I routinely provided in-home and on-farm care for local family pets and animals and I learned many valuable skills from basic care to emergency care and wound management and perhaps even more importantly, animal behavior - how to work with an animal’s unique personality and tendencies rather than against it. These skills I’ve used in my adult life as I continued working with animals and in the veterinary medicine field as an assistant. Now, as I continue my education and further my professional life, it is my goal to bring my experience into the lives of pets that need love and care while their owners are away! I’m currently a student and working part-time, so while I will do my best to be flexible for the needs of your pet, I cannot provide full-time (live-in) care. I can do regular drop-in visits and spend ample time with your furry friend during the week days and weekends. I may occasionally be available for more extensive weekend pet-sitting, so if you need it, feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Help me give your pets the routine they are used to with detailed instructions of how and when you normally care for them! Typically, I prefer to give your pet care every four hours to ensure they are staying busy and quiet while you are away. I can adjust this schedule as needed. I feed and water as needed and determined by you and am able to give medication. I will gladly care for young to senior animals.
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our three critters - 2 pups and a cat. She provided daily photo updates and was super responsive. We really appreciated having her stay over so we knew everyone was in good hands! Would definitely book her again.”
“Morgan was a fantastic pet sitter! She was very punctual and gave us thorough updates. She handled our two clingy dogs with care and patience. I knew they were in good hands. Thank you Morgan!”
“Kellie was so wonderful with our dog Russell. We were abroad for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures and updated his activities for us to share. He loves her and so do we! She also took great care of the house and we found everything in tip top order. I can not recommend her more highly!! And we will hire her again to watch Russell. Thank you Kellie XXXXOOO”
