“Zachary was a respectful guest in our house. Stayed with our animals while we were out of state for a wedding, providing updates and pictures that captured their expected behavior. Came home to two happy animals and a house like we left it which is always reassuring when traveling. There were a few glitchy moments with the site not allowing messages to be sent and one misinterpreted update, but Zachary cleared up the miscommunication and sent updates when available. Overall couldn’t complain about a thing.”
“Shadae is excellent and is very enthusiastic about caring for pets! She always sends so many updates and pictures, it gives me peace of mind while I am away! I will be booking with her any time she is available and I have plans to be away!”
“Beth took excellent care of Koda and Luly while we were away. She kept them safe, well-fed, and comfortable, ensuring they felt at home. She was great at communicating, sending us regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. It was amazing to see Luly get comfortable with Beth!”
“Keigan was able to take a last minute booking and we were grateful. Our puppers, Lilith, has seizures and has a strict medicine and feeding schedule. Keigan was able to give her medicine on time and keep her feelings on time. She sent updates throughout the day and even a few photos. We will def be using keigan for future getaways.”
“Giovanni did a great job taking care of my two cats! Even my feisty loner cat seemed to enjoy his company. He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout his stay. The house was exactly as we left it, and he followed all our instructions perfectly! We would definitely book with Giovanni again if we weren’t moving!”
“Karen is awesome! My dogs are well taken care of by her and have fun and relaxed when I can’t be there. She is very attentive, responsive, keeps me updated, and there when the girls need care and loving. She sends me photos, follows my info on the dogs, and leaves my home spotless. She’s great!!! I trust my two dogs with her unconditionally!”
“Kalena was so good with our dog, and we were so grateful she accepted our last minute booking. She is thoughtful and keeps you up to date throughout the booking. We were at ease leaving our dog in her care and we 10/10 recommend booking her.”
“Tessa did a great job watching Hank, Flo, Charlie and Isaac for a 5 day overnight stay recently. They said she was very attentive and loving, so much that they didn't miss us too much! She definitely loves animals and can handle high energy pups like a cattle dog. Thanks!”

“Destiny was a phenomenal house sitter. Despite our very short notice request, she was able to come by, meet the pets, and walk through what was needed in the house the next day. We felt very confident leaving our animals in her care. We returned home to a sweet letter and cute drawings of our pets. We would happily have Destiny look after them again.”
“Ruth did a lovely job taking care of our two dogs while we were on vacation and provided wonderful updates with photos. Our dogs were so happy and calm when we got home. Our home was also cleaner when we got home than when we left! Would highly recommend Ruth and will definitely rebook with her again!”
About: In my 2nd year of my MS program, studying Animal Behavior and Well-Being. Had two senior dogs (who reside in OK with my mother as they are bonded) who exhibited abnormal behaviors related to medical issues that were promptly resolved by vets. Additionally, I worked at a non-profit dog sanctuary for several years with 100+ dogs: included grooming, socializing, rehabilitating, and helping to get adopted out. I am available mostly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are my afternoon and evening classes from 12:30 to 7:20 pm. I typically work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, if you let me know in advance! I let pets roam freely around my apartment and interact with my dog (Bernice - 2 years old and very friendly almost to a fault). I am willing to crate, if you are more comfortable with that during the evening. Pets are allowed on furniture.
About: Hi there! I have dogsat/walked dogs for about 10 years now. I love getting to know new animals. I have two mini golden doodles of my own and I can’t wait to meet your dogs! I’m part time right now, so I am available after 1 pm to let your dogs out or watch them! If there’s anything your dog likes/doesn’t like make sure to let me know. I think dogs deserve all of our love and affection and I care for them very much. I want them to be able to be comfortable with me and I know that takes time but I can’t wait to meet them.
About: I took care of my dog during his last days and since 2021 have been house/dog sitting for friends of friends to help them out. I have 1 dog named maisey, she is a lab/pitbull mix! I also volunteer a lot to dog walk at shelters! I currently am a tech in the ICU so I only work 2 12 hour shifts a week, I usually try to schedule around that. I am in nursing school but with summer coming up, I will be free! I will be at the house majority of the time and I usually try to get them to like me and not be nervous by giving them treats!
“Victoria was an excellent sitter! Dogs were very well taken care off with walks everyday day! House was clean when we returned and dogs were happy! Would book this sitter again!”
About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years. I graduated high school in 2024 and during high school I volunteered many hours at the Clinton County Humane Society. In June of 2024 I started pet sitting for local families. Since then I have helped take care of many families furry friends including common house pets such as Dogs, Cats, and even Kinkajous! I am currently trying to branch out and make pet care my main job. Which means my availability is usually always open! Don’t be scared to reach out and ask! BOARDING IN MY HOME: I live with my parents out in the country with two dogs in my home and one cat. I have several rooms, gates, and crates that can be used so my pets never come in contact with yours if that is preferred! There are 9 acres of total land for plenty of exercise, 2 of those acres are fenced off and occupied by two friendly dairy goats and chickens! While you go on vacation so will your furry friend/s !
