“Sharon was so great at communicating and keeping my pup safe and happy while I was away! She provided pictures and videos of him as happy as can be!”


“Absolutely no complaints. Holly was there on time and raised no concerns. Very friendly and a reliable person to have take care of your animals. Answered and any all concerns I had.”


“Erin was an amazing sitter while I was gone, I got the best phots of my cat I have ever seen and got great updates on Kitty. Overall such a nice person and amazing sitter!”


“We needed someone to watch our dog last minute and Alexandra was very accommodating. We had never done drop-in visits before but she made sure we felt comfortable with her coming in to feed and take Beasley on walks while we were gone. Communication was great and Beasley was well taken care of. We will definitely be asking her to watch Beasley again the next time we go out of town😊”


“Mary is amazing! She is so good with my cat, who generally hisses and runs away the moment a stranger looks at her funny. Mary was able to win her over and takes care to send me funny stories and updates during her visit which I love love love. I definitely will hire her again!”


“Molly was amazing with our goldendoodle puppy!! She really went above and beyond the job description in her drop ins making sure to play and bond with him and even teach him new tricks. She provided great updates and pictures each time which put us at ease while we were away. We will be contacting her again.”


“Well, Kyleigh did it again. She always sends pics and gives a little report on her visits to Sami. Sami gets stressed whenever we are away and she reacts by doing things that are not very sanitary. Kyleigh is a trooper and comes thru in a big way. Will always be our first contact when we go on trips. Thank you Kyleigh, for being you.”


“Aimee is fantastic!!! This is the first time I have used Aimee for drop-in visits for our foster dog and I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”


“Shannon was incredible and took wonderful care of our little guy. She sent lots of updates and photos, felt totally comfortable being away for our trip. Also our dog had just had spinal surgery last month, and Shannon was very attentive to his needs and found ways to enrich our little guy while on limited restricted activity”


“Liza was great to our senior dog and went the extra mile to help make sure she ate when she was anxious. She was great with communication and really helped us out with a last minute booking - absolutely recommend!”


“If you’re lucky enough to book Ruth—DO IT. I travel often and for long stretches, so finding someone who’s not only amazing with my pets but also *attentive to the little details* is everything. Ruth is that rare gem. Yes, she bonded beautifully with my fur babies (even my shy one warmed up to her immediately, but what really stood out was her *meticulous care*. Clean pet bowls—like, actually clean, not just rinsed. No slimy water bowls sitting there for days like I’ve seen with other sitters. She took the time to scrub, refresh, and make sure everything was spotless. That level of detail is hard to find. She also took out the trash, swept around *all three* litter boxes (one per cat), and made sure everything was tidy. It’s rare to find someone who’s both nurturing and this thorough. Her daily updates and adorable photos gave me peace of mind, which is priceless when you’re far from home. Ruth is the full package. Reliable, caring, clean, and incredibly thoughtful. Snag her for your pets while you can! people like her book up fast. So grateful to have found her!”


“Kylie took great care of my two dogs while we were gone for the weekend! I was home for a meet and greet during the first visit and my dogs instantly loved her. I was nervous not having a friend/family member take care of them for the first time but she sent me tons of cute pictures putting my mind at ease! I will definitely use Kylie again in the future!”


About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.

“Marah is wonderful with our two dogs! She's reliable and actively plays with them during her visits. She communicates well and as needed to keep us comfortable and involved in their care while we are away! She will be at the top of our list next time we go out of town! Thank you Marah!♥️👍🏻 Billy & Bianca”


About: I have been looking after dogs since I was 11. I have helped train puppies and make sure that they had the proper care. I have taken care of senior dogs as well as many puppies. I am in my freshman year of college so I will be able do walk and drop ins before and after classes and anytime during the weekends. I have two dogs at home that I take to dog parks so if your dogs like to play with others I can make that happen.

About: I’ve had a German Shepard named chicken for about 2 years now. She is the light of my life and I love taking care of her. She is such a good challenge because she takes trazadone and is very anxious so it helps me with my own patience and understanding. I also have a cat named ollie who is a rascal and keeps me on my toes. He loves ice cream and running through the house at 3 am, he’s adorable and amazing! I work nights on tuesday and wednesday so it fits in great seeing how I have so much free time. It’s honestly a great thing to combine my love for animals and my love for work! By following any rules that the owner may have or and specifications for the animals that i’m watching. Showering them with cuddles and love because all animals love to be pet, if not they at least like a presence near them.

“Stefanie is absolutely amazing! She looked after my dog, Bucky, for just an hour, but in that short time, she made a lasting impression on both of us. Bucky can be a lot, very playful, (he’s just a puppy) & he took to her right away—it was clear she has a natural connection with animals and enjoyed taking care of my buddy. She was professional, punctual, and genuinely caring. Stefanie even sent me a quick update after the visit, which gave me total peace of mind with some cutie little pictures. When I came back, Bucky was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with my dog, even for short visits. Stefanie is a gem, and I truly hope her business grows—she deserves every bit of success!”
