“Mackenzie did a great job caring for our cat while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and followed our guidance resulting in good interactions and a positive experience. Our cat seemed to enjoy her visit based on the pictures of her playing and sitting together.”
“Absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be more grateful for Cindy and the care she provided for our cat, Crunchy, while we were away! She showed up every day right on schedule and stayed for the full 30 minutes as promised. Crunchy is extremely shy and hid the entire time we were gone, but Cindy went above and beyond to make sure all his needs were met. She even took the time to locate his hiding spot and snapped a picture for us, which really helped ease our minds while we were away. Her kindness, patience, and reliability were so appreciated. We will absolutely be requesting her again in the future.”
“Adrienne is definitely a great pet-friend and sitter! She connected w Spooks right away on the meet and greet. I Really appreciate the extra lengths Adrienne went to- you tube birds and mice on TV, letting him play outside and playing with his toys, looking out for the house and checking to be sure I made it home as well.”
“Skye was wonderful! She responded quickly and was easy to work with. She was very responsive and provided great report cards and photos! She was on time and my dogs loved having her. She also did a few additional things for us without hesitation. Definitely will work with Skye again!”
“Ivy took care of my sweet bunny, Christmas week. She was very prompt and took great care. Awesome updates and pictures, I would absolutely use her for my pet care again.”
About: All my life, people have been amazed at the way animals gravitate to me. For whatever reason, just about every animal I have met falls in love with me. I personally think it's because they can tell how much I love them! I've been an animal lover all my life. Growing up, there were a lot of different animals in the house, but the one constant was DOGS! Over the years, I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've spent time studying dog behavior, psychology, and training through books and hands-on experience, and I'm always learning more. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a mellow senior, or anything in between, I'm confident in meeting their needs with patience and care. If you're looking for someone who loves your fur babies as much as you, then look no further! I’m currently studying Graphic Design at TMCC, which gives me plenty of time to take care of and play with your pets in between classes and afterwards. Taking care of animals is incredibly rewarding and provides a much-needed break from studying. Your fur babies will get lots of love, attention, and fun when I'm around! I’m very detail-oriented and always make sure to follow your instructions to the T, whether it's feeding schedules, medications, walk times, or any special routines. I'm patient, gentle, and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable while you're away, so I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos to keep you in the loop and put your mind at ease. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority!

“Mariana was wonderful about communicating. She asked a lot of good questions when we first met her and then she was good about double checking on certain things. We will definitely use her again!”

Andee D.
“I've been working with dogs since I was a teenager, and Andee and I met a few years ago. She immediately struck me as someone with a deep passion for all animals, especially dogs and cats, and even horses! I have never witnessed her meet a dog who didn't love her right away. She has a great energy that really makes animals feel secure. Andee was always asking me questions about dogs, their psychology, their health and wellness, training methods, and more. She is always eager to learn anything I have to teach! There are very few people I would ever entrust my dogs to (as they are working dogs and have some unique quirks!) but leaving them in Andee's care really makes me feel secure in knowing they are getting the very best. She is knowledgeable, respectful of your rules for your dogs, and very trustworthy! You could do no wrong in choosing Andee as your sitter.”

Thanks a lot for everything during my trip, you have been awesome. I really appreciate how well you took care of my frog Kirby and 2 cats Bella and Rimple. Your photo updates and detailed notes were amazing. It is very clear how much you love caring for animals.
Ainsley was amazing with our two pups (a 40lb Blue Heeler and a tiny 3lb Yorkie)! She was super reliable and always showed up right on time. She didn’t just pop in and leave—she spent extra time playing with them and making sure they were happy and well taken care of. Both dogs loved her, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town. We’ll definitely be booking with Ainsley again, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Audrey did a wonderful job caring for my pup pup. When doing the meet and greet, she repeated everything back to make sure she understood all the instructions. She gave him walks and treats and made sure he was taken care of while I was out of time. I had peace of mind with her caring for my doggy. Thanks Audrey!
Skylar was a fantastic cat sitter! She was super flexible with timing, making the whole process stress-free. Communication was easy and smooth, and I always felt reassured knowing my cats were well cared for. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and accommodating pet sitter! I will be calling her again!
Maizel did wonderful with our young dog for his first time alone. She communicated very well how he was doing (he was a bit down) and how she was encouraging him to play and to eat more. She did wonderful in getting our puppy into a better mood. She also was easy to communicate with via text while we were gone.
We couldn’t be happier with Jill’s exceptional care of our dog, Olive! From the moment reached out to her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility as a dog-sitter seriously. Jill went above and beyond to make sure Olive felt comfortable and loved while we were away. She kept us updated daily with pictures and notes about their walks, playtime, and even Olive’s favorite napping spots, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious Olive adored Jill; we came home to a happy, relaxed pup who clearly had been in great hands. Jill is reliable, attentive, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs. She’s also incredibly professional, arriving on time and leaving our home just as we left it. We’re so grateful to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog-sitter. Thank you, Jill, for taking such wonderful care of Olive!
