Kara did a great job house sitting and watching our dogs while on vacation. The pups were well loved while we were gone. Will definitely rebook!

Mary was very sweet, she was able to help us out on short notice, she was lovely with the dogs, and very understanding of our goofball dog, Blue. She took the dogs on walks, played with them in the yard, and kept them company through the night. We highly recommend Mary to give your dogs the care and love they deserve while your away. Because dogs are family, and she treats them like her family which we loved!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Many breeds from labs to aussies to huskies. I can bathe, trim nails, and exercise your pets if need be. I work in a dental office throughout the week but my hours are flexible. I can work around the schedule if I can plan ahead. I plan on following the instructions the client has for the pet. If the pet parent does not want the pet to be off leash or walked in a certain part of town, I will follow those rules. I am particularly about my own dog and her safety so I completely understand where people are coming from when it comes to letting someone else watch their pet.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life because I grew up on a farm and my mother is a teacher with classroom pets! I have two kitties and a hedgehog! I’ve taken care of everything from cats, dogs, rats, bunnies, reptiles and more! I have a full time job but I still have plenty of time on my hands! I would love to invest my time into caring for your pet(s) when your life gets a little too crazy! I have a large yard, unfortunately with no fence, but we’d be able to use it anytime. I have two cats of my own who are shy, so I’m not worried about them causing any trouble with your fur babies. I live in a part of town that is quiet and would be the perfect setting to take your dog on a walk!

Leo is awesome! He has dog sat my dogs, my aunts dogs, and my friends dogs and he is very reliable and cares about them immensely. Leo is a dog lover and has no problem walking, playing fetch, feeding, cleaning up pet messes for your dog. He is a great dog sitter and I would recommend him to anyone. He is very responsible and will never let you down.

I am delighted to write this testimonial for Bryce, who is an exceptional and responsible pet owner. I have had the pleasure of knowing Bryce for several years, and during this time, I have witnessed their unwavering dedication and love for their furry companions. Bryce’s commitment to the well-being of their animals is truly commendable. They prioritize the health, happiness and safety of their animals above all else. What sets Bryce apart is his genuine affection and love for animals. It’s evident in the way they interact with their pets with patience, kindness, and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryce as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible caregiver for their animals. Their dedication, love and sense of responsibility make them an exemplary pet sitter, and any pet would be lucky to have them.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats all my life. I can’t think of a time where I didn’t have an animal. I have always thought of them as my own. I truly have a special place in my heart for animals. I have dog sat for my uncle and brother multiple times. I would feed, water, let them out, etc. I also have cat sat for my cousin multiple times as well. That also included cleaning the litter box. I wake up and I feed my cats while i have my breakfast. After I get done brushing my teeth, I clean their litter box. I also always try to get cuddle time with them before going to work. I always check on my animals. If i feel or see something different, I call the vet right away. I take animals health seriously. They are so fragile.
