About: I have 3 dogs of my own and have grown up with dogs. I love all animals and treat them as they are human! Animals give me joy and would love to help you out with a trusted animal lover such as yourself. I currently work full time in the insurance world, but my passion is with animals. I can do morning noon and night and on weekends, multiple visits if needed. Also multiple visits at night if needed as well! My dogs are humans pretty much in my home. They are trained and get their feedings accordingly to each one. I finally have a fenced yards so they can run around but do love their walks and car rides!

“Rebecca was a great sitter. I felt comfortable with my choice right from the start when she came for a meet and greet with my dog. While she was here housesitting, she kept me informed of and made sure Lula got her meds despite her reluctance to eat (separation anxiety). I would definitely use Rebecca again.”


“We loved having Amber house sit for our dog and cat. Our cat is very scared of strangers but she took to Amber instantly as did our dog. Amber was very responsive to communications and made two house visits before the scheduled stay. We were very comfortable with her in our home and hope to have her again when she is available 🌟🌟🌟”


“Madie was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and took note of all of the instructions I left for my dog. She even saved me by coming back for an extra night when my flight got cancelled and I was delayed in getting back. I came back to a happy dog and I would definitely hire her again.”

“We used Chuck to house sit and watch after our golden retriever for a week. He helped us out tremendously by making himself available on a last minute booking request.
