“Sam was absolutely tremendous. We were in a bind last minute, and she came to our rescue watching both of our elderly dog and cat. Sam went above and beyond to make sure they were both well taken care of for all four days and nights we were gone. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone in need of her services!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Very responsive and reliable and felt like my dogs were taken care of really well. Definitely will be using her when I go out of town again.”
“Kiera did a great job with our pup! She took very good care of him, and communicated often about how things were going. She went above and beyond and was very respectful of our home. We absolutely will rebook with Kiera, and would definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“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 😀😀”
“Hailey was wonderful with Maximus! We needed a last minute sitter to help watch our anxious little pup and Hailey was not only available but was professional, easy to work with, warm, and communicative. We could tell that Maximus really bonded with her. Would highly recommend!”

“Jillian did a great job with our babies. It was the first time we left them in 3 years. Thank you!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Savannah did a great job house sitting and caring for our cat! She sent several pictures over her stay, communicated regularly, and left the house exactly as she found it. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Brooke was amazing! She sent lots of pictures of updates of the pups. I felt good knowing my baby was being taken care of so well. I would definitely use Brooke again in the future for any pet sitting/house sitting needs. She left my home in better shape than she found it I appreciate her very much!”

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!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life—everything from dogs and cats to chickens and fish—so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’ve spent years pet and house sitting for family and friends, and I truly treat every home and pet with love and attention. I also cared for my own sweet senior cat who lived to an incredible 22 years, giving me firsthand experience with elderly pet care and lots of patience and compassion along the way.

About: I’ve already been sitting and walking dogs independently but am ready to begin more professionally. References are available and I encourage you to reach out with any questions you might have! I’m currently unemployed but looking at a part time job at petsmart. I am home most morning and evenings with availability to drop by in the afternoons. I have a fully fenced yard that has withstood multiple escape artists and diggers. There are six people in the house, so it’s unlikely your pet will be alone for long. We also have two dogs. One 14yo rat terrier mix and a 3yo pit bull mix

Brenda is THE BEST. She is thorough and my dogs love her. She takes care of my pups and the house and goes above and beyond!
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!
