“It was our first time leaving our rescue, Grace. Knowing that she was being so well taken care of and above all loved on, made our trip so much more relaxing. Highly recommend!”


“Patty was amazing. She regularly shared pictures of the dogs and let me know how they were doing. My animals were a bit disappointed when I walked in after being gone and realized it wasn’t her. Would highly recommend.”


“Rylee recently stayed overnight with our rambunctious Aussie! She was wonderful! Prompt, great communication and most importantly Finn approved. We will definitely be looking to Rylee for future sits.”


“Patti is amazing. I felt so comfortable with Patti coming and staying at my home to watch my girls. She even sent me pictures to let me know the girls were doing well. I can't believe it but when she left, she even washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed. WOW, above and beyond for sure. I would highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs.”


“Kayleigh was fantastic! She was very communicative and super easy to work with. She was friendly and took great care of our boys. She comforted them through a surprise fireworks show in the neighborhood that otherwise would have been traumatic if they were left alone. She made our night out even better knowing our extended four legged family was well taken care of. Highly recommend and will definitely use her care again in the future!”


“Jamie was wonderful! She took excellent care of our fur-babies and our home while we were away. She also kept us informed and sent cute pictures of them! We would definitely recommend Jamie, and will gladly use her services in the future as well!”


“Abby was wonderful with my babies. She was very sweet with them. Abby stayed overnights and left my house exactly as it was before she came, didn’t notice I even had a guest. My dogs are very needed and she accommodated their clinginess very well 😀😀”


“Kim and her daughter did a great job keeping Mia safe and happy. She got to play ball, go for walks and just relax. I felt worry free knowing that Mia was in such good hands.”


About: I have owned animals my entire life between livestock to rodents to reptiles! I currently own four dogs, two cats, and two ferrets! My passion is animals and I have 3+ years of professional experience in dog/cat daycare+boarding facilities, pet sitting, dog training, and even tailored puppy care! I have spent my adult years building my certifications and experience to truly understand dogs to my utmost ability including but not limited to body language, medical concerns/cpr, training, and learning from yet also teaching my clients more about their babies! I work 5 days a week as a dog trainer and puppy specialist but I am always available Wednesday and Thursday! Sunday I can do drop ins or walks before 11:30am or after 6pm. Every other day of the week I can do very early walks/drop ins or later in the day, if there’s an extra day not on my availability that you may need me just let me know and i’ll do my best to make it work for you! I believe creating a calm and positive environment is the most effective and efficient approach to caring for any animal. I know with professional knowledge that I am also capable of caring for the more high energy or special needs babies! My care solely depends on the pets personal needs and comfort levels while always keeping in mind their safety and health. Along with that, I am equipped with hands on experience of behavioral issues, socialization troubles, medical emergencies, and even certified for recognizing and acting on signs of bloat.

“Brenda was a perfect fit for us and our two girls! She scheduled a meet and greet before we even booked to understand our expectations, needs, and to make sure the fur babies were comfortable with her. This was the first time we let someone other than family watch our dogs and to top it off, we where gone for SIX days! We are thrilled to find someone we can trust, love our girls, and take care of them and basic household tasks while we are away. She is quick to respond, sends photo/video updates, and even brought over a gift for them once we returned. We already have plans on booking with her again!”


“We have booked Kiera before, and we will definitely book with her again. Not only does she take great care of our pup, she is also super respectful of our home! We couldn’t be happier with her services!”


“Allison was a great house and pet sitter for me. She handled everything without me having to worry about "Bear" while I was away. She communicated with me very well and I hardly knew she was here after she left. I would definitely recommend and use Allison again in the future!!”


About: Hi everyone - My name is Ahritzi, but I go by Ary!! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13 and have grown up with pets my whole life. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I treat every pet like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to meet your pet’s unique needs, whether it’s extra playtime, special diets, or medication. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority! I currently am a full time graduate student, who is home all day during the week. I am able to provide as much play time as needed, and provide whichever services my client is looking for their pet. My priority will be taking good care of your pet and ensuring they are happy! Whether it's a dog walk, drop in visit, or dog sitting I am able to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. My priority is to stick to your pet’s routine, offer plenty of attention, and always prioritize safety. This includes providing secured spaces, regular potty breaks, or gentle exercise. I treat every pet like my own and tailor care to their unique needs, ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free while you're away!

“Brooke was amazing with my three girls ? they had plenty of great play time, love and attention. So thankful for great care for my fur babies ! Everyone was happy and healthy. Highly recommended.”


“Savannah helped us out last minute. She sent photo updates and Scout warmed right up to her. It was the first time I felt comfortable leaving him overnight. We would definitely use her services again!”


“No words for how amazing Karma is! Our expectations are high and she far surpassed them. We have a large rescue dog and a cat, who had just lost their older (dog) brother and been through a recent relocation, so their anxiety was high even before we left for 8 days. She was so understanding and patient with them, totally winning them both over almost immediately. I can’t recommend her highly enough. All routines were followed and we came home to a house that was just as clean as when we left it with the plants watered. We will 100% be using her again, as we finally feel like our fur babies don’t mind us being gone and in fact enjoyed their time with her. 10 out of 10 experience.”


About: Almost always have had medium to large dogs growing up. Love taking dogs to dog park to meet new animals and playing. Play is fun I'm currently a SAHM with twin boys so Im almost always available. Looking for ways to leave the house after 8am most days for fun Have a large fenced backyard. Can crate if need be. Or kept separate from other animals. Read animal cues to not overwhelm them with environment. I understand every animal is different and have different needs

About: I’m a daughter of a dog trainer. I’ve never in my entire life lived without animals or pets in my home. I’ve had all animals from Chickens, Bunnies, all types of dogs, cats, hamsters, etc! You name it- I’ve probably had one at one point! I obviously love animals! Im a single mom trying to make some additional cash while loving on all the best fur babies! I would be honored to be selected to give your fur baby love and care when you can’t! I work remotely so I can easily drop in for dog walks, kitty pets, feed your fish, or whatever other needs you need during the day. I don’t have my son every other weekend so I’m happy to house sit when I don’t have my son with me. I’m extremely comfortable around all types of animals from dogs/cats to small farm animals like chickens and goats. I grew up going with my dad to train dogs in other peoples homes so I know that a dog is most comfortable in their environment if all possible. I’m comfortable with crating your dog and even helping with basic training needs (sit, come, stay). I also know the importance of exercise for both cats and dogs! It’s also important to know when it’s time for them to relax. I’m open to any questions you may have!

Skylar O.
“I was a client of Sky’s, she trained our 2 year old lab baby and he came back a new and improved dog. He used to struggle with getting too excited and lacking focus on commands. After he came home from 2 weeks of sessions he had better manners, focus, and learned new tricks while also refining the ones he already knew! Sky provided excellent communication and patience with not only our dog but us as well. I would absolutely recommend and trust Sky to train and care for our dog again.”

Allison was a great house and pet sitter for me. She handled everything without me having to worry about "Bear" while I was away. She communicated with me very well and I hardly knew she was here after she left. I would definitely recommend and use Allison again in the future!!

Patty was great as usual! She communicates really well and always sends awesome pics. Pippin had a little limp on the first day, and she let us know right away and sent videos — thankfully he was fine, but we really appreciated how on top of it she was. He was super happy when we got home, which says a lot. Way better than boarding — so glad we booked with Patty again!
