“Took very good care of my puppies got daily reports on them and when I ran into issues with my flight being delayed worked with me to grab my dogs. Great dog sitter!!”


“Khatuna and her daughter are the best fur-baby sisters. They have a beautiful, safe home, with a nice, fenced yard, to ensure the comfort of my small dog. I received daily pictures and updates, which I greatly appreciated. Maggie got so much love and attention, and played with friendly pets of Khatuna's, which she has never experienced before. I know she had a great time, because not only did she eat all of her food every day, which she has never done when I'm gone, but she fell asleep on the ride home. Thank you for taking such good care of my furbaby girl.”


“Satisfied and grateful isn’t enough to describe our experience with Shaleigh! I was in town working 3 weeks and I had 1 day off and decided to explore a city 3 hours away . Shaleigh accepted my booking invite within minutes and my baby loved it .”


“Taylor treated our girl like her own 💗 she is beyond kind and friendly. She sent so many great pics and kept us updated. We also had to make a few changes due to travel delays and she was very flexible and accommodating! We can’t wait to book with her again!”


“Lyric was wonderful to us and our pup!! We will definitely ask her to watch our pup again. She was great with communication, photos, and being flexible with our schedule! 100% recommend her!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family that have gone of vacation and need someone to watch over their fur babies. I love getting to know dogs and their families. I want to be able to provide help to families that want to know their dogs are being loved and cared for. I have worked on training dogs when they are puppies. I have a big fenced yard that will allow them to get their energy out. They will be able to walk around the house and make them feel like home I spend a lot of time at home, since I am completing my Masters online. I only work in person 2-4 hours a day Monday - Friday. I keep on a schedule to make sure that the dogs get plenty of attention and playtime I have a fenced yard that is secured with locks so no issues with them getting out. I have two dogs that stay in the room but are friendly with other dogs. If they need to be created or wants to walk around they will be able to do so. We play with dog toys and get treats.

“We continue to use Eleanor over and over again because she cares so much for our dogs. When she noticed that our dog’s eye was having issues she took him to the vet and cared for him like he was her own. Cooper gets so excited when we sees me turning the corner into their street because he knows he will see his best friend, Dexter! We have piece of mind when we are on vacation knowing that our “kids” are in good hands and happy!”


About: My husband and I have had our small dog for almost 10 years, he was my first child and definitely part of our family. 😊 I am self-employed so my schedule is flexible to meet your needs. I am available as shown on my profile and possibly on short notice. Just message me. 😊 I am able to care for your fur baby as close to how you can, with your instructions. 😊 I have been in a position before where it was hard to leave my dog or find a sitter I could trust, so I would love to be there for anyone needing a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!

“Alison is a sweet girl with a big love of animals. She took such wonderful care of my two large male German shepherds. They can be a bit of a handful and Alison was amazing with them. We will absolutely be returning.”


About: I grew up on a small farm in rural Ohio raising cattle, goats, and chickens, and I always had a four legged companion by my side. My passion for animals began before I learned how to walk. I enjoyed training our dogs before I even knew that it was a job. I spent many days shadowing our local veterinarian just for fun. After separating from the military last year I became a veterinary technician in Clovis but now have big dreams of starting up my own rescue. I have fostered dogs and cats in the area for four years now and would like to extend my experience and care for animals to all those in the area. As long as your pet is in my care I can promise that they are safe, loved, and comfortable! I am available for all offered services weekdays and weekends. This is not only my passion but my number one priority. I am very flexible so don’t hesitate to reach out! I have two extra rooms I use if your pet would prefer to have it’s own space (or even just decompress), a fenced in backyard, a pool if they like swimming, and my own dogs and one cat to play with if they would like! I also have extra crates and plenty of toys and beds/blankets.

About: Many friends and families always calls and relies on me to take care of their babies when they are out of town. I love it. I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is wide open to be able to care and tend to your animals as needed and wanted. I have a fenced in back yard, indoor kennels, and lots of toys and treats to make sure your dog is cared for the way they need to and have plenty of things to keep them occupied

Hazel R.
“Hazel took amazing care of my dog while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She followed all of his feeding instructions, kept to his usual routine, and made sure he got plenty of exercise with long walks and playtime. She also sent regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was gone. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals and treats them with so much care and kindness. I came home to a happy, calm, and well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Hazel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
