“Amazing! We didn't have to worry about a thing. It's usually hard for us to go on vacation and stressful to find someone trustworthy. We were very happy with Rhonda!! Thank you so much!!”

“Caitlin is a reliable and caring pet-sitter. She's friendly and great with my senior special needs wiener dogs. I'd recommend Caitlin to watch your pets in house or as a drop-in.”

“Rachel was amazing and all my babies loved her so much. Had so much fun and sent me some of the cutest photos. Will be booking again, the stress of leaving my animals was lifted with her.”

“I’m so impressed with the way Kayla took care of my babies. She not only played with them. She snuggled with them treated them as if they were her own. That is not an easy task because I have six dogs and three chickens but she did everything they all needed Made sure they knew they were loved and kept my house spotless. Another thing that’s not an easy task. I would recommend Kayla to anyone that wants their babies taken care of in a loving and caring manner.”

“I love when Paula stays with my Boston Terrier (Frank.) I come home to a calm sweet dog who is played out and has been loved. Paula takes super wonderful pictures of Frank happy to be with her. Paula is the best!”

About: I have 4+ years of experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. I’m an animal lover who just wants to be surrounded by them as much as possible. I can train as I’ve had 3 dogs myself in which I’ve pretty much trained all 3. I am doing online school right now and have a bunch of free time to take care of the pets in need, but would prefer weekdays. I have a fenced yard with PLENTY of room. Very spacious living space where they can roam if wanted and just to have in general.
“She did great! Very communicative, sent updates and pictures throughout the night which I really appreciated. She also took the time to meet Delta before our booking, so that she would be more comfortable the night of.”

About: I have volunteered and fostered dogs for a few years. I have three pups of my own and am excited to start a new journey of caring for dogs when their people need. Currently a part time nanny after teaching for six years, so I have plenty of time to play and walk with your pets! Drop off and pick up times unavailable: Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:30am-1:30pm I have three sweet dogs to play with yours if they need a buddy. They are also not allowed upstairs, in case you have a senior dog or a dog who needs peace, your pup can have space to themselves. We have a community dog park if you're willing to let them use this (usually kept and empty). I also give lots of walks and snuggles! I am good with following a feeding and medication schedule. In the summer, we put up our temporary fence to allow for outdoor pool time!
“Ami was so great with all of our critters!!! She was very flexible, willing to do a meet and great and a trial drop in, to make sure our babies were comfortable with her before keeping them for a full weekend. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone!”

“Susannah was great! We have some pretty spoiled pets and a schedule for them that can be a little demanding... plus a dog that's on a ton of medication. Susannah followed all of their routines, sent us pictures and updates. Stayed in communication with us and we couldn't have asked for a better house/pet sitter. Would recommend and would definitely have her here again!”

“She is an amazing sitter! I have a high-anxiety dog and a cat who usually keeps to herself, but they both loved her! It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in such great hands and receiving the best care. ❤️”

“Victoria was an absolute top notch sitter for our 2 fur babies!! She was attentive, responsive and gave daily updates and pics while we were away for a week! I’d highly recommend her to care for your pets and will definitely use her again!”

“Thank you so much, Kayla! You were there to help us get our precious dog from the vet to the hospital while dealing with my chemo brain. You were there to listen and concerned for our dog. Wish you only the best in life. God bless you.”
