“Barbra is very good at keeping us updated on how things are going when she’s taking care of Rocket. This is the second time we’ve had her stay at our house with him. She’s punctual, great at communicating and reliable. We will definitely use her in the future!”


“Rachel watched our dog at our home over a two week period and did an exceptional job. She is trustworthy and went above and beyond by keeping us updated, keeping our house tidy, and most importantly giving Ziggy extra love and attention. This is our first time using the house sitting option and will definitely use Rachel again in the future.”



“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”


“Angela did a wonderful job. She was reliable, communicative, sent pictures and did awesome with our 3 animals. We returned to a clean house and happy puppies. 😊 we'll definitely be making her our regular sitter when we head out of town. Thanks Angela!”


“She was amazing with my pets! She took them on walks everyday, to the pet park, and made sure to send me daily end of the day updates on everything they did! I’ve never felt more safe for my pets while leaving, i’m usually nervous about leaving them but now that I have Taylor I feel so good that i’m leaving them in good hands!”


“I recently had the pleasure of having Sara take care of my dog and two cats over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. She was punctual, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my pets were well taken care of. She followed all of my instructions to the letter and even sent me regular updates on how my pets were doing, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters? With over 10 years of experience and a lifelong connection to animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving presence to every pet I care for. I grew up on a farm, so animal care has been second nature to me from a very young age. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving senior pets, and I know how to adjust my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with basic training, crate routines, medication administration, and senior care—including mobility support and extra TLC for aging pets. Whether your dog needs a structured walk or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like family * I currently work Monday through Thursday, which allows me to dedicate **Fridays through Sundays fully to pet care**. During those days, I’m available *, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs—whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, or extended care. Having open availability on the weekends means I can provide consistent, attentive service without being rushed. I genuinely enjoy spending my free days caring for animals, and I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. --- Would you like to add anything about your experience or the types of pets you care for (e.g., dogs, cats, senior pets)? I can include that too! 1. Pet Sitting (In the Client’s Home) Daily Routine & Responsibilities: Follow the pet’s regular feeding, medication, and exercise schedule. Provide fresh water at all times. Clean litter boxes, cages, or yards as needed. Give affection, attention, and playtime based on the pet’s comfort level. Maintain communication with the pet owner (updates, photos, etc.). Ensure the home stays secure (locking doors, bringing in mail, etc.)

“Extra walks! Sent pics! Great communication! Very easy to coordinate with and was very respectful of our home. Made our first time away from the our new doggy stress free :) Thanks Sagine.”


About: Not only will I deliver the best service to your pet, I will become its best friend! I will love your pet as my own, and appreciate them for how important they are to you! Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and weekends are the perfect time for me to give your pup my full love and attention. I work a typical Monday through Friday 8–5 schedule, so I dedicate my weekends to spending quality time with the dogs I care for—whether that’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just cuddling on the couch. Your dog will be treated like family while they’re with me! Whether your pup is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I treat every pet like my own. I pay close attention to their routines, preferences, and comfort to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep things calm and consistent—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their favorite walking route, or making sure they have plenty of snuggles and playtime. My goal is to make their time away from you feel as stress-free and cozy as possible.

“Corey did an incredible job! I reached out to him on short notice, and he was eager to help. The dogs were very well taken care of and happy when I got home. Corey sent picture updates and kept me informed throughout the whole stay. I will definitely be using him again!”
