“Tayler came across as very nice and professional at the pre-stay meet. After 25+ years in law enforcement, I am good at readying people and felt at ease about her staying in my house right off the bat. so did Gumbo my 90 lbs pit bull terrier. During the 2 night sitting, Tayler kept us up to date on both Gumbo and the cat with text and pictures. She also kept the house clean and washed what laundry she used during the stay. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”


About: I've been pet sitting for over three years in my home and have references. Previously worked for a vet. Dogs get lots of love, are treated like family, share my kingsized bed and even get golf cart rides around the neighborhood. Your pets must be leash trained, housebroken, non-destructive and have no fleas, up-to-date on shots and not be in heat. I raised great danes for 30 years. I rescued for over 15 years and growing up my mom raised poodles for show and, my dad raised Brittany Spaniels for field and show. We always had no less than 30-40 dogs at all times. With that many dogs, there were always the few that didn't play well with others and had to be separated. I'm used to and love all dogs. I prefer older dogs with good manners, obey basic obedience commands (we will work on that if not previously trained). Your pets will be my guests of honor and treated with love, respect and dignity. I'm retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I have several dogs in my neighborhood that I sit with on a regular basis, so early advance notice is appreciated. They are treated as royal guests with lots of love and care. We go for leashed walks around the yard and, if well behaved, golf cart rides around the community. They sleep with me at night and are treated as if they were my own. I do not believe in reactive treatment toward any animal. Your pets will be given freeze dried liver treats unless you provide otherwise. Your pets are my number one priority. I speak dog!

“Kyla was very patient with my dog and seemed they had a good time.”


“Emily was fantastic at this... I was a little worried being a first time house sitting... We had alot going on so once Emily showed up, things went so much better than I had imagined. She is great with our babies. Our babies loved her as well, which was very comforting. We will make sure Emily is available for next trio. Our pups, cats were all happy. My home looked exactly like I left it, maybe even better. Plus she sent me pics and updates throughout the whole process. Absolutely amazing. She is the perfect person to handle any situation. Emily, Thank you for a job well done!!! We appreciate you!!!”


“Jeanie did a great job with our dogs! I'd definitely have her back!”

“OmG, I can’t even begin to tell you how special Kelly is. The love and care she gave my babies surpassed my highest expectations. And this is coming from someone who is not easily impressed. I felt like my dogs found a second mom. All four of them bonded to her from the moment we met. Kelly was on time with meals and provided my oldest, Bella, with her diabetic injections without any issues. I definitely recommend her for the care of your babies.”

About: Life without a cat or dog is incomplete to me. I can shamelessly say I love animals more than humans 😅 I have taken care of new born puppies/kitties all the way to senior cats and dogs for majority of my life. I would love to take care of your fur babies 🩷 Pet care starts as soon as I get out of bed (sometimes before I’m even out of bed 😅) I make sure our cats are fed properly, litter boxes cleaned daily. I pay attention to their needs to make sure we have the happiest/healthiest fur babies. For my clients, I will respect whatever wishes you require for your fur babies. I know how important a routine can be in pet care for certain animals. For my cats, I have certain feeding times so their tummies do not get upset and we make sure their litter is cleaned daily

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and have been pet sitting since I was a teen. I absolutely love animals and love to give others peace of mind as they travel by taking care of their fur babies! I work full time, but only 4 days a week. I have plenty of time to run home and check on your animals and spend even more time with them on my days off! I am more than comfortable with animals of all sizes and can give them all the love they need. I can crate your dog if needed or spend time playing fetch or engaging your cat 🫶

“Wonderfully communicative and attentive to all animal needs.”


About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends animals. I work with a poodle puppy currently and I’m used to working with bigger dogs like German Shepard and pitbulls. I work to train therapy animals such as dogs, cats, and even horses. I just graduated and I have a ton of time to spend and play with these dogs. Human interaction is super impressive for a lot of breeds and I am more than happy to do so. I can take care or both big and little dogs and cats. Depending on age and personality of the animal will determine how I approach. Once they are used to me I will check their food and water and follow any instructions given to me. I will then proceed to play or take the dog outside or if a cat change the litter box.
