1. Melissa G.
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and raised two wonderful lab puppies. I’ve cared for friend’s and family’s animals and have a calm patient approach to animal care. I’ve even had hamsters and chickens. I’m currently establishing a homestead with my two cats and ten chickens and working part time. I’m looking forward to growing my animal flock further in the next few years. Safety is my first priority so I make sure that I understand your animal’s needs and tendencies before coming in or out. Once I’m sure we are safe then it’s time to have fun in whatever way your pet likes. Some want a comfy snuggle and some need to work off some energy. I’m there for them.

“Melissa is amazing with our pack! She sends pictures and updates throughout the stay, and our furry four-legged family members love her! They are always well taken care of! We can enjoy our trips knowing they are safe and have an amazing time!”
3. Leanna R.
About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life and have lots of experience with cats and dogs and now living on my own I have my own cat. Her name is Sookie ❤️ I currently work full time as a barista and Walmart, and house sit on top of that schedule. I work 6-8 hour long shifts. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to let dogs out half way through my shift, on my break. I’m free after work shifts and prioritize animals that I’m watching during that time. I meet up with the client beforehand to meet and assess their needs, and have them show me how everything works. I then follow whatever instructions they have for taking care of their fur babies!
4. Tess D.
“Highest recommendation for Tess. She stayed with two challenging pups during a recent trip and did a fantastic job both with the pups and staying in my home. I hope we get a chance to work together again soon!”
5. Christina H.
“Christina was excellent and a perfect fit for our animal family. One dog has anxiety, and the other dog is a rescue with separation issues. We arrived back at home to two very content and calm dogs. She walked them daily and was an excellent house sitter. We would have her back in a heartbeat!!!”
