“Jennifer was phenomenal. She took our baby for a walk twice a day and just tended to his every needs. She stayed in our house which we greatly appreciate. I highly recommend her for anybody. she treats your animal like it was hers. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you for everything, Jennifer.”

About: I have hands-on experience with farm animals, dogs, and cats, and I genuinely love meeting pets where they’re most comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or snuggles, I’ve got them covered. I am currently working full time M-F. I am available after 5pm on weekdays and all through out the day Saturday & Sunday. Sunday mornings we I am unavailable from 9:30 to 11:30 for church. I love getting out on local trails for long walks, or if your pet prefers being in their home I am happy to spend time with them there. We can throw the ball in the backyard or be couch potatoes.
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”

“Jennifer was amazing! She was extremely efficient and responsive when it came to booking and the actual day of dog sitting. She was willing to take the time to come over ahead of time and meet the pups the day before. We were going to be gone all day for a day trip with our kids and needed someone to come and walk our German Shepherd and Yorkie and feed them dinner. She went over three times during the day and sent us pictures and videos during each visit. It was nice knowing they were in good hands as we are new to the area. We will definitely be using Jennifer again and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, including senior dogs and puppies. I provide personalized attention to every dog, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I ensure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and care through scheduled walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits to accommodate each pet’s needs. I prioritize safety by following pet parents’ instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and ensuring dogs are always supervised. Whether in my home or theirs, I provide a clean, stress-free, and loving space where pets feel comfortable and cared for.
“John was an excellent sitter! He took great care of the dogs, walks, photos and the house. He comes highly recommended and I will definitely use his services again! Do not hesitate in reaching out to him for your pets, he will not disappoint!”

“Brittany was the only person outside of our family and circle of friends who our dog Lily responded positively to! Her meet and greets meant so much to us and Lily that by the time the date came to house sit for us, Lily greeted Brittany with her special doggy smile full of teeth and jumped onto her chest! She texted me some photos and explained how Lily was feeling. She followed instructions on feeding and playing and understood Lily’s demeanor. I felt Lily and our home were in safe and capable hands. Brittany was a professional.”

“Christine was absolutely amazing with our two miniature dachshunds while she stayed at our home. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our 10-year-old girl Lychee had an allergy flare-up, and Christine followed all of our instructions carefully with both her medication and topical treatment to help keep her comfortable. We truly appreciated how attentive and responsible she was with her care. We came back to a clean home and two very happy pups. Everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. We honestly can’t recommend Christine enough — we are so happy we found her and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Our Ronde loved spending time with Hailey. She was patient with him and his insecurities. We recently adopted Ronde and we were worried about the transition of new people, he did great.”

“You couldn't ask for a better sitter. This was the 1st time we used rover and our dog had never had a sitter. Shawn used his charm and probably patience to win Bernadette over. He also left our house spotless. An all round gentleman. Would hire him again in a nanotechnology second”
“Debra was wonderful!! Debra moved in and sat for us and our 2 little fur babies. She took wonderful care of them, complete with baths. Gave medicine as needed. Plus received pictures each day. We felt completely comfortable leaving our house and 2 little dogs in her care. We will use her again when needed. Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of animals, big & small since I was a little girl. I have always been the first contact for friends and family that need someone to care for their animals while they’re away! I am available anytime - I am an early riser and late time caregiver. I understand schedules can be rough & I want to give peace of mind! My rescue dog is animal aggressive, so my baby cannot be around others. I would have to come to your home…Dog walking, playing in the yard, feeding, all the attention & snuggles are included!
“Tom sacrificed 2 holidays to take care of my dog. Never has anyone taken such good care of my house and pet. He was able to get my dog to walk 3-4 miles a day and Sampson was sad when Tom left. A true caregiver and passionate about his work and animals”

“Sara did a great job housesitting with our 2 dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She is very responsive and sent us lots of photos. Our dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. It was much more relaxing to know that they were being taken care of at home instead of having to be boarded.”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 11 I’ve had my own personal dogs for 5 years now and then I used to work at a dog grooming shop as a groomer and still am on the side!

I have a small part of my yard fenced but there’s plenty of space for your pets to run around. I have a 4 chickens that roam around but I will lock them up if needed and I have a small senior dog.

“Jacqueline stayed overnight with my two cats. From our first contact she was so prompt answering messages. I’ve had other sitters and she is one of the few who actually showed up on time and was there when she said she would be. I returned to find my house in tiptop shape. I highly recommend her. She’s a real sweetheart!”

“Maria is just amazing with our Barley! This is the second time we have had her watch our dog and she send so many pictures and treats him like her own. We will continue to have Maria watch our Barley! Thank you Maria!”
