About: Hello!! My name is Briana, but I go by Bri :). I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I”ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and fish. I have my own cat for over 5 years and have regularly helped friends and family with their pets while they are on vacation. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, playtime or cuddles. I’m all about giving your fur babies a comfortable and loving space as well as giving you a peace of mind! :) I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday. I get off around 4:30-5 each day (depends) and I’m pretty much free on most weekends :) I prefer not to care in my home since I still live with my parents. However, in your home, I would make sure your pet gets the love and care they need and deserve! I will make sure they stay hydrated, fed, loved for, play with them, even take them on walks or cuddle and watch a movie! :)
“Pixie was amazing with our 2 dogs and house sitting while we were away for the weekend. She kept in constant communication sending updates, pictures and even telling us when she had to leave and how long she would be gone. I honestly dont think I worried once about them or our house! We already have her booked again for our next trip.”
“Brenda stayed with our golden retriever and Gemma enjoyed her being there. Gemma is a stubborn dog and can be challenging and Brenda did not give up on her and went out of her way to keep her challenged and occupied. I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone that needs an in-house dog sitter!”
About: I've had animals since I was little, cats, dogs, reptiles, ferrets, and I've loved them all as if they were my children, specific dietary or exercise needs is no problem for me. A pet to me is a part of the family. I'm currently working part time, available Monday through Friday on most weeks, I'll house sit for up to a week and a half. I currently don't have a license because of covid slowing me down, but I am working on it and someone can drop me off at the location. I have a fenced backyard and my childhood dog had many issues later on in life so dietary or medication is no issue for me. The family dog I have now is the most stubborn dog I have ever met, having to work with him has taught me how to deal with stubborn or slightly aggressive dogs.
“This was the first time we left our puppy Fiona. We left her with Evangeline and couldn’t be more pleased. Fiona loves her. Our puppy and home were very well taken care of. We would definitely use Evangeline again!”
About: Hello, my name is Hayley. I have 14 years plus experience with pet care. I have experience in feeding, taking walks, administering medication, and giving animals all the love and attention that they deserve. I have watched 10 animals at one time including goats, dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions. Can talk about price too! I have a lot of open availability, not currently working right now. I'm gearing my way towards spending more time with animals, ensuring their happiness, having a fun time together, and learning something new from every animal in my care. I will ensure that your furbabie(s) will get the best care, attention, and love that they deserve. Knowing about an animals behavior ahead of time helps me ensure they they will not be stressed but stress free.
“I was super nervous about using this service as it was our first time using. Halee was great, she house sat and was at our house when she said she was going to be. Our dog and cats were well taken care of. My cats aren’t usually fond of strangers and they even liked her. She kept in communication with me while gone and my house was the same as when I left it. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”
“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”

Jeremy F.
“As Jeremy's neighbor, I've seen firsthand how much he cares for animals. He's always been the first to offer help when someone's pet gets loose or needs a little extra attention. I remember one time when my cat, Oliver, got stuck in a bush, and Jeremy didn't hesitate to rescue him. He's incredibly patient and gentle, and animals seem to gravitate towards him. I often see him playing with his own dog, and it's clear that he understands their needs and knows how to make them happy.

Not only does MyKenzie make sure my dog gets plenty of exercise, but I always get updates and pictures, which gives me total peace of mind.
