“Alexis was great with Nancy Moo and obviously cares deeply about animals. Communication was awesome as were the photos, everything was left tidy, and most important of all I cam home to a happy pup. I would not hesitate to book Alexis again - highly recommend!”
“Liz met us at our campsite right on time and she immediately got along with our Catahoula, Annie. They were quick friends. Liz did a great job keeping her safe and entertained while me and my family attended a concert, and Annie was safe and relaxed when we got back to our site. Liz did great and I'll recommend her to anyone who needs help watching their fur baby for a few hours.”
“What can we say about Michelle? She is amazing. Our VERY Velcro pup was immediately comfortable with her. Slept against her legs while we were out. Even ATE next to her …which is unheard of. She is particular pooch and loves Michelle. Then for us…i left my phone at home so she contacted my wife to let her know all was good and sent a pelo that of photos. She even helped me lace my shoes (which I left for last minute). So kind, caring and sweet. A+++++++++”
“Shanna was very present and attentive to our senior dog and kept up our home just as we had requested. She was very communicative during our time away and accommodating when we had to shift the schedule around at the last minute. We would book Shanna for housesitting/petsitting again!”

“This was our second time booking Sally to care for our one year old corgi and six hens. We were at ease our entire vacation because we knew how well they were all being cared for. Sally took our corgi on daily, multiple walks. Sally took excellent care of the hens and kept their coop nice and clean. All of our animals were well cared for, safe and attended to. We will be booking again and we so appreciate her!”

About: **Currently I am only accepting cat sitting jobs** I have been pet sitting since I was about 10 years old. Growing up we had cats and dogs, as well as goats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, and chickens. I've done pet care for dogs, cats, fish, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and sheep! I'm very flexible right now, as I am only working some part-time jobs at the moment. I do have my own cats to care for but that won't take much time away from your pet(s) since they are pretty low maintenance. At this time I will not be offering boarding services for your pet(s) at my home, but I am happy to care for them at yours while you're away!
“Elisha did a wonderful job watching my shy pup and two kitties while we were gone for an evening. Although my dog is rather nervous around strangers, my pup ended up sleeping with Elisha during a storm. It gave me great comfort to know my animals were being looked after during the storm and while we were away. Looking forward to having her watch my pets again next week!! Thanks for everything, Elisha!”

Nicole R.
“Nicole has a wonderful mannerism with all creatures great and small. My dogs, cats, and horses just love her. When our 18 year old cattle dog was given his final visit with our vet, Nicole brought clay to the house and made paw imprints for us. I was touched by this act of kindness and in all my years with many pets, I had never heard of this. She is one of the good ones! I smile when I see her and the keepsakes I have of my beloved pet will always be cherished by our family.”

Alyssa V.
“Alyssa took care of our 2 female Golden Retrievers (“the girls”) when they were puppies, as well as when they were crazy 1 year olds with poor leash manners, sometimes even on short notice. She is dependable and always arrived when she said she would. She doesn’t hesitate to text or call if she has questions or concerns. We were comfortable with her having access to a key to our house so she could take the girls out for walks. She made sure they had enough time outside for exercise and to do their “business”, and rewarded them during the potty training phase. She fed them if we needed her to, made sure they had water and toys, and spent time with them playing and giving lots of loving attention. The girls are always excited to see Alyssa! She’s awesome!”
