“Kaylee was amazing. I booked her on very short notice because of an emergency. She was there on time and did a great job keeping Willow company. Will definitely be using her again!”

“She has her own bedroom at our house. She’s here a lot. Funny thing is we probably wouldn’t even recognize each other at the grocery store. She would sure recognize the dogs, though. Need I say more? Lol.”

“Excellent house and pet sitter! Tonya is amazing with both dogs and cats and is SUPER dependable and reliable. I would absolutely hire her again in the future. Was very patient with all of our instructions, walked our dog multiple times a day, and made sure everyone was happy and healthy!”

“Bobbie was great! I was nervous about having a stranger at my house and with my pet, but I spent some time getting to know her and felt much better! She's very kind and warm while also being professional. Super helpful and flexible. I will definitely be making Bobbie my go-to sitter.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for a long time. I love playing with dogs especially with dog toys like tug of war or fetch. I can also just sit with your dog and keep them company if they enjoy having lazy days I work full time 3 pm to midnight currently but am open to overnights when I get off work and staying with your fur family thru the day before work. I have had animals in my house for many years now and have always been very loving and caring for them. Making sure they get walked accordingly and get loved accordingly.
“Alexa was wonderful to work with! She stayed over night with our two Labrador retrievers and was phenomenal! Alexa made sure our house was clean and in order for when we arrived back. She was on time, communicated with us, and went above and beyond! We will definitely be utilizing her services again and our dogs loved being with her!”

While staying in your home, I will respect the rules and schedule of your household.
“Jaime is so fantastic! We’ve tried a few sitters and it just didn’t seem like the right fit until we met Jaime! She loves our babies and they love her right back! She sends lots of photos and videos and based on what they’re doing in the videos, I know it means they’re happy and it makes it so much easier for us to go away and leave them. Jaime frequently updates us on everything dogs and house. We truly appreciate her kindness and her love for our babies! Our 3 fur babies are looking forward to Jaime’s next visit!”
