“Casey was AMAZING! I'd leave this review in all capital letters if I could! She went above and beyond not only for my cat but for my chickens as well. She kept me updated on how he was, sent pics, and I could relax on my vacation knowing that my home was safe and my baby kitty was safe. I loved her so much that after I leave this review I'm booking her for my July vacay! Thank you for loving on our Buggy, Casey. I know how excited he will be to see you again.”


“Awesome experience! I was busy on a trip so I didn’t have much time to communicate with Nik during the visits and he still sent very detailed check-in notes and made sure my girl was happy and healthy while I was out of town! I definitely recommend and will for sure use Nik for all future out of town visits!”

About: I've owned dogs for many years from rescued to puppies. Currently own 3 corgis but my all time favorite is german shepards. Ive had as many as 5 dogs at one time. My favorite saying is by Immanuel Kant " We can judge heart of a man by his treatment of animals" firm believer in this. Also have a few other sayings as well. Some of my best friends never say a word to me. They bring pleasure by just being there not saying anything. I also have 3 cats and a husband. My favorite saying at work is that I live in a zoo. But I wouldn't want it any other way. I always believe that every kid should have an animal to care for.

“Kieran was the best! He took great care of my cats. Giselle loved him from day one and Giuseppe even eventually decided Kieran wasn’t so scary after all and came out of hiding.

About: I have a large backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. My home is all tile so accidents are not a problem. I enjoy having animals around especially if they are playful and get along well with other dogs. I have a 15 year-old small poodle mix. I work full time as a teacher so during the school year, I am gone from 7:15- 3:30 p.m. Dogs that are crated are free to stay! At night, I am mainly a homebody because I'm finishing up my graduate degree and I enjoy taking walks with my dog before bed. I can take yours as well:) My dog is my priority and I will treat yours just as if they were mine. I do not have children and there is nothing I enjoy more than helping others when they are traveling and leaving their fur babies behind. I have had to do this in the past and I always wanted to know that my baby was being loved and cared for the way I would care for her.

About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I have helped several cats through the birthing process and have been able to provide life saving care to young fosters. I believe in animal conservation and being a voice for those that don't have one. I am reliable and trustworthy and will love your pet just as much as you do. I am available to care for your pets full time. I have a guest room for overnight stays and I live in an apartment that has ample walking space. I also know of several wonderful parks that your pets would absolutely love. Boarding with Crate Trained Dogs: I offers a safe and comfortable environment for dogs and cats that are crate trained. Crate trained dogs are accustomed to spending time in their crates, which provides them with a secure and familiar space when they are not directly supervised by the pet sitter. House Sitting: In addition to providing boarding services, I also offer house sitting. This entails staying at the pet owner's home while they are away, ensuring the safety and security of both the pets and the property. House sitting offers the benefit of maintaining a consistent environment for the dogs, reducing stress and anxiety. Requirements: Crate Training Verification: I will require verification that the dogs they board are crate trained. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs during their stay, as crate trained dogs are less likely to engage in destructive behavior and are more comfortable in unfamiliar settings. Vaccination Records: Before accepting any dogs for boarding or house sitting, I will request up-to-date vaccination records to confirm that the dogs are properly immunized. This requirement helps prevent the spread of contagious diseases and ensures the health of all animals involved. Meet and Greet: Prior to the scheduled boarding or house sitting period, I will conduct a meet and greet session with the dogs and their owners. This meeting allows me to get acquainted with the dogs, learn about their routines, and discuss any specific care instructions or special needs. Emergency Contact Information: I will request emergency contact information for the pet owners, including the contact details of a trusted veterinarian. This ensures that I can quickly reach out in case of any unforeseen medical situations. Feeding and Medication Instructions: I will require detailed instructions regarding the dogs' feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and any necessary medications. Following these instructions accurately is crucial for the dogs' health and well-being during their stay. Emergency Plan: A comprehensive emergency plan will be established in case of unexpected situations, such as a natural disaster, power outage, or health emergency. This plan will outline the steps I will take to ensure the safety of the dogs and the property. Pet Owner's Consent: The pet owner will be required to sign a contract or agreement that outlines the services to be provided, the dates of boarding or house sitting, and any other terms and conditions. This contract will protect both the pet sitter and the pet owner and ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding expectations. By offering boarding services for crate trained dogs and providing house sitting, the I create a comfortable and secure environment for pets while ensuring peace of mind for their owners during their time away. The requirements and procedures in place help maintain a smooth and enjoyable experience for all parties involved. I work from home so I can take care of your pup from anywhere whether it's at your place or mine we are sure to have a great time. I have a designated guest room for boarding and am happy to accommodate your furry friend however they need. Please let me know of any special needs or requests.

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life, and have been watching them professionally for about 5 years now! As a kid we always had animals, and caring for them was my responsibility. I have plenty of experience under my belt and I truly do love to spend time with pups of all breeds and sizes! I am currently enrolled in college online and work only two short nights a week! Dogsitting works perfectly with my flexible schedule, and I love to incorporate animals into my schedule whenever possible! I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. Inside the floor plan is very open so there is plenty of room for play and fun! When watching dogs at client homes I let the dog be where he or she is comfortable since it is in fact their home (of course following any guidelines and or instructions left). I love to engage with the dogs so they don’t feel left out or abandoned while their owner is away!

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have pet sat for my friends and family for 3 years. Dogs are the best animals and I love getting to see all the different breeds. My dogs are very friendly 2 year and 1 year old bernedoodle that would love to have a visitor to share their toys with. I have a large dog friendly back yard with a 6 ft privacy fence.

Heather C.
“We had a wonderful experience with Heather! She was incredibly kind and attentive to our three dogs, each with their own unique needs. One of our pups is a senior who requires daily medication and is a picky eater. One of our dogs is blind and needs extra patience and care. She handled everything with compassion and confidence, giving us peace of mind while we were away. On top of taking excellent care of the dogs, she also watered our plants, brought in the mail, and took out the trash—little things that made a big difference in keeping our home running smoothly. We truly appreciated her reliability and the genuine care she showed our pets and home. Highly recommend!”
