“Aaryn was amazing with my pup, very thorough during my week long house-sit. Provided plenty of pictures/updates while I was gone, and made me feel secure with leaving my little boy!”


2. Rachel K.

“Rachel was responsive, communicative, and great at letting our shy pup warm up”


3. Ashley R.
“I have known Ashley for 3 years now. She is someone who is reliable, respectful, responsible and trustworthy. Ashley loves animals and has a dog of her own. She knows how important it is to provide good care for not only her own animal but to her clients and their fur babies. She takes animal sitting seriously and is a great resource for drop-in visits! Book with her!”

“Susan was wonderful with our little guy! Lots of pictures and cuddles. It was a great feeling knowing our dog was happy and taken care of while we were on vacation.”


5. Skyler S.
“Absolutely! Here’s a detailed review for Skyler: --- We recently had the pleasure of having Skyler take care of our beloved cats, Juno and Quinn, while we were away, and we cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care she provided. From the moment we met Skyler, we felt an immediate sense of trust and comfort. It's clear that she has a deep love for animals and a wealth of experience caring for them. Skyler’s communication was top-notch right from the start. She took the time to meet with us and get to know Juno and Quinn before we left. She asked thoughtful questions about their personalities, daily routines, and any specific care instructions we had. It was evident that she was thorough and committed to ensuring that our cats felt safe and loved in our absence. She even made notes on everything to make sure nothing was overlooked, which put our minds at ease. Throughout our time away, Skyler sent us regular updates on how Juno and Quinn were doing, which we really appreciated. She sent pictures and videos, showing us how they were playing, eating, and settling in with her. It was such a relief to see that they were not only well cared for but clearly enjoying their time with her. Juno, who can be a little shy with strangers, warmed up to Skyler quickly, and we saw in the photos that Quinn was happily curling up on her lap—something she only does when she’s really comfortable with someone. This gave us peace of mind, knowing that both of them were receiving the love and attention they deserve. Skyler was also incredibly accommodating when we made some last-minute changes to our schedule. She remained flexible and understanding, which was a huge help during a time when we were already feeling a bit anxious about being away from our pets. On top of that, she took care of all their needs with such a calm, patient demeanor—whether it was administering medications, keeping their feeding schedule, or making sure their litter boxes were clean and fresh. When we returned, the house was just as we had left it, and our cats were happy, healthy, and content. There were even little extra touches—like the toys being tidied up and a handwritten note from Skyler letting us know how the cats were doing and any minor details that had come up. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch that showed just how much she genuinely cared. Overall, Skyler went above and beyond to ensure Juno and Quinn were well cared for, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Her professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made a huge difference in our experience, and we know we can count on her for future pet-sitting needs. We highly recommend Skyler to anyone looking for a dependable and loving caregiver for their pets. Juno and Quinn absolutely loved her, and so do we!”


6. Emma R.
“Emma has watched my high energy pit-bull/Weimaraner on numerous occasions, and during the summer she would take her on hikes and walks. 10/10 would recommend Emma as a dog sitter/walker.”


7. Holly T.

“Holly was fabulous! She took such good care of our Jax and Bailey while we were on vacation in Mexico! They both loved her, as was evident from the photos she sent regularly. She gave them lots of love and attention and went out of her way with some extras as well! Great communication and very respectful of our home while visiting. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend and I hope she will consider sitting again!”


8. Sydnee S.
“Sydnee has taken care of my dog twice, both at her home and mine. She did a great job making sure Olly had everything he needed. I had peace of mind knowing he was well taken care of while I was away.”


9. Julia R.

“Julia is amazing! She was so sweet and caring when meeting our pups. When staying at our house she sent us picture updates each day and the dogs always looked spoiled. You can tell she is an animal lover. She communicates great. Julia gets extra points for having to chase after one of our dogs right when she arrived. Will definitely use her again in the future.”


10. Mirette Z.

“Was timely and present with the doggos! They’re like children so all you can hope is someone will show up and love them while you’re away like you would! Will definitely use her again :)”


11. MACKENZIE S.
“Mackenzie is a literal angel! I moved to Missouri in the beginning of 2024 and found myself occasionally needing a pet sitter for my Frenchie, Cleo. I had never boarded her or left her with anyone else before, so the thought of leaving her with a sitter was incredibly stressful and nerve-racking at first. Now, Mackenzie is truly the only person I trust to come into my home and take care of my baby when I’m not around. When Cleo had a significant shoulder injury this fall, Mackenzie continued to work closely with us and bent over backwards to help us follow vet recommendations for recovery. Mackenzie has all of the hard skills (i.e., knowledge, reliability, trustworthiness responsiveness, adaptability, etc. More importantly, it is so clear how much she genuinely cares about what she does. It’s such a great feeling to know that even if I have to be away from home for a few hours longer than usual, Cleo is happy, cared for, and still spending time with someone she loves!”


12. Victoria T.
“Victoria has always had a love and passion for animals her whole life. Animals just gravitate towards her. You would be lucky to have her take care of your fur baby!”


13. Kylie M.
About: I’m just an army soldier very passionate about animals and taking care of them. I have taken animal health science classes and volunteered at Wayside Waifs a no kill animal shelter. I’m going to college to become an small animal veterinarian. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have taken animal behavior classes and have worked with dogs that are more difficult, but we’re just misunderstood. They just needed that extra love and attention. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


14. Alea S.
“I have a blue heeler that can be quite the handful. Alea has always been patient but still keeps him from his normal shenanigans. Alea treats my doggo just like her own. Kimber doesn't trust many people but he loves her.”


15. Sydney B.

“Sydney did a great job with our sheltie and Collie. Our collie can be very shy but she took to Sydney. Would totally recommend her to others”


16. Samantha P.

“Great pet sitter! We needed someone last-minute after our dog got sick and wasn't allowed to be boarded. She handled giving our dog meds perfectly and texted if she had any questions.”


17. Leah S.

“Leah was so good with all of our animals and was very understanding about a mistake in booking on our side. She was able to help us out with a short notice and provide lots of pictures and updates.”


18. Alexandria K.

“Alexandria did a great job when we went out of town. I have huge protective dogs and they took to her beautifully. She had the skill to know what they were thinking and manage it. She sent me tons of photos and asked questions when needed. I came home to happy, healthy pups. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”


19. Mo T.

“Mo did a wonderful job caring for our fur babies! I would certainly ask her to care for them again. She is so attentive to the needs of our pets and has a wonderful personality that I'd welcome in my home at anytimet”
