“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.

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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”
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”

But I’m open to care for my clients animals any type of way they prefer!

“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!”


“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!”

Omg! Cynthia is the best! Our dogs took to her right away. She is very loving and soft spoken to the babies. She left our home very clean and sent us “proof of life” photos every day. We just love her and can’t wait to plan our next vacation….because I KNOW I can trust her and the babies love her.
