“We had to leave town unexpectedly and needed someone to care for our cat, Tasha. Madisynn was a lifesaver! Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The communication with Madisynn was always prompt and we never felt out of the loop. She is warm, professional, and one can tell that she truly cares for the animals she watches. We will definitely go with Madisynn again in the future!”



About: My two greatest loves: dogs and the outdoors! Growing up on a farm was an incredible blessing for a girl that adores animals! Our first dog, Freckles, actually was a stray dog that we nursed to health and became the family dog. We were lucky to have friendships with the local vet...and our pets alway we well cared for. Years later, my husband and I adopted our 1st dog together in 1997 she was a black lab with the biggest heart. She was known as an avid swimmer and runner. We still miss her loving eyes and playing endless fetch with her. Now, I live in the suburbs with my family and we have two dogs. (8 year old cuddly Boston Terrier & a hilarious, 5 year old Boxer-mix) They enjoy the luxury life of long walks and are spoiled beyond words. I also take time during the week to volunteer with dogs at the Humane Society. Those walks give me the chance to meet and work with dogs of every size and breed...that time means the world to me. I love the personalities of ALL dogs...and would love to get to know yours! My promise is to give them 100% of the love and attention that they deserve while under my care.

“Linsie was AMAZING with our dog, Ellie. Our dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times meeting new people, but Linsie was so calm and kind with her! We even asked short notice and she was able to come through and help us! Thanks again, Linsie!”


“Emily is so sweet and very dependable. She took great care of the cats while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures. Even our very shy cat warmed up to her and let her take pictures. Will definitely book again!”



“Just what I needed. Corinne was able to drop in to let Chloe out and play for a few minutes. I was gone for the day and knew it would just be to long for Chloe. Corinne was close and understood my dog's shy/skittish behavior. Yay Rover!”


About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. Once I became an adult, I had my own dogs, cats, horses, and goats. Currently, I only have 1 dog now that I am living back in town. I work for a local animal shelter and we handle dogs at the shelter, but we handle all animal welfare cases for our county. It is an open admission shelter so I am use to small, medium, and large dogs. I am also use to scared, sweet, fun, and sometimes aggressive dogs. I've worked with them all! I'm currently working full time, Monday-Friday during the day. I do have some week night and weekend availability. Let's see what we can work out. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can run and play. Otherwise, I would use a leash or tie out while they are outside.

About: I've been around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats, to rabbits and birds, even goats and turkeys. I'm always happy to be around them, and am more than willing to make sure they're happy as well. My family always knows who to call when they need the critters taken care of, no matter what. I currently have open availability, from morning to evening, and weekends are open to all. Nothing better to start the day than a walk with man's best friend. I can't board pets in my apartment, and depending on the dog/client wishes in question I tend to let them follow their normal routine. I always make sure that they get plenty of exercise and fresh air.

About: I've taken care of my own and other pets for 10-15 years. I am able to deliver medication and I've taken care of senior dogs many times as well. I'm working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make almost any routine fit! I also stay very active so any animals that are active and need walking is fun for me! I can easily crate animals if needed. In a client's home, I can walk or drive animals to nearby places to allow them to exercise if preferred!

“Heather is a true cat-sitting superstar! She did an amazing job taking care of my furry friends, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only was Heather prompt and reliable, but she also made sure my cats were entertained and content during my absence. When I returned home, my kitties were purring with joy, clearly showing they had a blast with Heather. If you're in need of a top-notch cat-sitter, look no further. Heather is the real deal! five stars all the way!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I’ve watched for family, family friends, and neighbours. I’ve always loved animals, and getting to work with them is like a dream! I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’m also more than willing to get my hands dirty! Puppies can I have accidents, but it’s not a problem! They like to play in the mud, guess that means bath time! I also have experience giving dogs medication. My own dogs take medication daily and I’ve done it while sitting before! I’m currently working part time but I am in the market for a new job so any days and times work. My personal schedule is very flexible! If you have a fenced in yard your fur babies will be let out every two hours (supervised of course:) )No fenced in yard? No problem. They will still be taken out every two hours on a leash. I am also more than happy to bring your fur babies on walks throughout the day, just as long as the weather is suitable for them! Between playtime and snuggle time your babies will be in great hands!

About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.

About: I’ve been taking car of cats and dogs since I was old enough to know how. I’ve currently had my childhood dog living with me for about 6 years and we love to do all the things. We love car rides, dressing up, and playing out in nature when it’s warm. I work during the day with kids that have autism but my nights and weekends are free for all the four legged love I can get. I would love to communicate and work with every owner so their fur baby feels safe no matter what’s the environment. Trust is very important for both owners and animals when bringing in a new person so transparency is always best.

“Our little 15-year-old cat has had quite a few care givers in her lifetime and Jaimie is the best of the best. She’s friendly, conscientious, caring, and so, so good with animals (and people 🙂). There’s nothing like leaving town and knowing for certain your little friend is in kind, competent hands! 😻❤️”

“Shelley is the best! She’s the most loving, nurturing woman I have ever known. She doesn’t know a stranger and treats everyone, including the animal “kids”, as one of her own. She’s kind yet firm which allows her to maintain a safe environment. I trust her with my 5-year old human and 4-legged babies without reservation. They always have a blast and can’t wait to go back! You’d be lucky to have her take care of your entire family!”
