“Ashley went above on beyond what we asked of her while doing checks in for our cat while we were away for over a week. I appreciated the daily updates and adorable pictures. She was thorough and made sure to ask about anything that might be of concern which we appreciated. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve take care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. When your pets meet me they will sense I’m a friend. I love to be around animals and taking care of them. I can pet and brush your dog, go for walks, play with them, and follow your directions to feed your dog. If you give me a chance I know you and your dog will be happy with my care. I work part time from home so I have time to take care of your pets. I just need to know what times you want care and I can make my s heckle work around that. I’m very flexible and open to making things work. I’ll go to your home and make sure I get your dog on a leash before we go for a walk. If I’m just visiting I’ll make sure I enter your house and calmly greet your dog so he doesn’t get fired up. Then sit down and pet him and play. Then I can get him fed and we can play some more after that if he wants to. I try my best to keep your dog calm as we get to know each other and then we can play and make sure he’s taken care of,
“Kaitlin was amazing with our 3 Doodles! One of our Doodles is a rescue and can be a bit skittish and shy, but she LOVED Kaitlin! We will be rebooking with her again for sure!”

About: My name is Milissa and I’ve been working with fur pals for around 8+ years now, ranging from various sizes and backgrounds. Dogs, cats, ferret, chickens… you name it! I'm currently working 7-3:30PM weekly and my days off are Thursday and Friday. I'm usually able to leave work early as well just in case. I have a fenced in yard + more property to run and play. I also live near Moraine so there are plenty of trails to explore! I would love to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your fur kids! Pets are considered family to me, so I’m willing to work with any needs they have and give them the comfort and loving attention they deserve :-) hope to work with you! - milissa e.
About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I am able to brush the furbabies every day, and multiple times a day if needed. I do talk to them like they can answer me…..😂😂. Animals understand more than we think they do. I love animals so much. I wish I could get one for me. But at this time, I am unable to afford one. I will not get any animal that I know I can’t pay for what they need. I was working up until 09/2025. I got hurt at work, and I’m unable to return. I am available 24/7 now. I have plenty of time to give ALL of my time to furbabies now. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my combination of vet tech experience and wildlife biology expertise. I can provide professional-level care, from administering medications to managing health concerns, ensuring your pet is in safe hands. My wildlife biology background also means I’m comfortable working with a wide range of animals, including exotic species and those with special care needs. Plus, I can help train puppies, using positive reinforcement to foster good behavior and obedience. With my specialized skills, I offer a higher standard of care that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I will make time for your furry baby as long as I have enough notice! I currently work full time in the Veterinary Medicine field as well. My three cats are indoor and have full roam of my house. I do not bring other pets to my house for the safety of my babies, but I am fully supportive of whatever way the client wants their furry baby managed in their home.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in high school! I unexpectedly ended up with Evie as a puppy (an old boyfriend fell in love with her!) after years of having birds and really came to understand why people love dogs so much! I've spent a lot of hours working with a trainer with Evie to build her confidence and work on different things and she has done so well! If your dog is nervous with certain noises or unsure of new environments, I've spent a lot of time working on these things with Evie and would be more than happy to help your pup feel comfortable! Evie and I are always up for a new adventure and love getting out together on the weekends. There is always room for more friends as well! We live right by Moraine state park, as well as several other great places to explore! Right now I have availability on weekends, but hoping to expand into the week as well! Your best friend will enjoy some amazing adventures, new smells, and as much fun as we can manage to squeeze in! Very happy to go for long walks and hikes, trips to the park, etc. I currently have a large field behind my place for them to play in as well! Safety is my top priority and your companion will receive top-notch care!
“Paige exceeded all of our expectations. My three large dogs were well taken care of, and when we arrived home, we figured we would have a mess to deal with because of the weather and muddy back yard, but Paige kept up with everything, again, above and beyond our expectations. Paige sent us updates daily, with pics of the dogs. These updates put us at ease that all was well back at home. Aside from all of this, we can tell that Paige is a genuinely good person that has a love for animals, treating ours as she would her own. If you are looking for a sitter, stop here and check her calendar, you wont regret it.”

“Brook-lynn is great to Max. He's always so excited after a stop in visit with her. She communicates well and always sends me photos. I'd high recommend letting her take care of your fur baby!”
