About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and more. Currently, I have two pets: Gremlin, a male mutt, and Eggs, a long-haired tabby female. They are my babies. A year ago, I experienced the loss of my sweet husky and lab, and I still miss them dearly. My passion for animals is unwavering, and I take great joy in caring for them. Gremlin, in particular, is very friendly and enjoys meeting new animals. I am a highly responsible and dedicated individual who will treat your pets with the utmost care and attention. I will provide regular updates and photos throughout the day to ensure your peace of mind while you are away. Additionally, I will ensure that your pets are well-fed, exercised, groomed, and their living area is kept clean. I am excited to meet you and your pets and provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently not working for the summer so I have plenty of time for your pets! I will be on most weekdays and weekends. I have a large unfenced yard. I have a friendly pup that would love to play. I allow my pets on my furniture. I can crate your pet if you would prefer otherwise they can get on my couch or the dog beds around my apartment. Whether at your house or mine, I will cade for your pet how you prefer and spoil them like my own.

“Jeanette was a fantastic drop-in sitter for our two cats! She went above and beyond to share photos with us and communicate while we were gone. We will be booking her again and I recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”

About: I can do boarding for any friendly cat since I have 2 kittens but it would be hard for me to watch a dog in my apartment or board a dog so I would have to come to your house to watch your dog. For any visit that I will make to your house, I will make absolute sure that your dog is comfortable with me being there, then I will gain their trust so that every time I come back they will get more and more happy that their friend Nikki is coming to take care of them! If your dog needs a walk, don't worry! I have experience with a dog that weighs a good 100 pounds, so they can't run away from me! I'll even clean up after your pooch after they go to the bathroom, just to make sure your neighbors don't get angry with me! Also, any animal I meet I love, so that means any job I take, I will be more than happy to keep returning to your house, or walking your dog(s)!

Nicole K.
“I have a 5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Dakota. She is approximately 110 pounds and every well trained. Nicole (we call her Nikki) has been to my house when home from University for about a year and has been always exceptional with Dakota. She calls for her to come and lay beside her and pets her - she plays with her in the yard - and takes her for walks around the plan. I believe that Nikki is more than acceptable to become a dog sitter and a loving dog caregiver. She has proved to be responsible - intelligent - and well suited for this position. You are making a good decision.”

Haley I.
“I highly recommend Haley as a pet sitter! She is knowledgeable about animals and very kind and patient with my pets. I feel comforted knowing they are cared for and in safe hands with a responsible caregiver.”


Thomas Y.
“TJ is absolutely amazing with my dog, Sunny! Whether it’s a quick 15 minute walk or at home boarding stay, he always goes above and beyond. Sunny gets so excited every time he sees TJ, he clearly loves their walks and playtime together and I think he loves TJ more than he loves me! I completely trust TJ to take care of Sunny like he’s his own, and it’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands when I’m away. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely great with dogs!”
