Heather is amazing! She came for a meet and greet before her stay. She took in everything about the boys routine and wanted to make sure she was gonna give them an excellent visit. She left our home in a clean condition and during her stay she communicated extensively with photos and video’s showing that everyone was getting along well. We are so thankful to have met Heather and look forward to her future visits!

Didn’t actually have her come but backed out too late so paid anyway. She did show up to our meeting of my dogs. Her and her daughter were both very nice. Cheyenne also met me in her own time to return my house key. No complaints.

About: I’m a reliable and easygoing dog and cat sitter who really enjoys being around animals. I’ve had both dogs and cats for over 10 years, so I’m comfortable with their different needs and personalities. I also have caregiving experience, which has helped me become patient, responsible, and good at paying attention to details. I like staying active, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and play with them, and I make sure cats feel comfortable and relaxed too. I follow instructions closely and keep good communication so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My schedule fluctuates daily, so I’m flexible with same-day appointments. I’ll do my utmost to accommodate your pets on any day of the week! I provide my dog with daily walks and administer medication and schedule vet visits as needed. My cat receives additional playtime with me, but if she shows signs of detachment, it’s important to respect her personal space.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and general pet care. I’m very patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s needs, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s an energetic dog or a more independent cat, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a student with a flexible summer schedule, so I’m able to give pets lots of attention and care. I’m available most days and can work around my class and work schedule, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day. I’m happy to be flexible and communicate to find times that work best for you and your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m very attentive and make sure to follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care preferences. I create a calm and safe environment and take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure, whether in your home or during walks.

Jordan was the perfect dog sitter. She updated us on how our dog was doing daily, took him on walks, and spent quality time with him. She even shoveled our driveway. We will definitely use here again in the future when the need comes.

Ryan was great! Our senior dog recently lost her litter mate sister and gets very anxious when left alone. Ryan watched her for us 3 times over a weekend at our rental and our dog took to her right away. Ryan was very accommodating, punctual, helpful. When we’re back in the area she’s our first choice. Highly recommended!

About: Coming from a background of puppy breeders, I have more then enough knowledge in not just caring for pets but understanding them as well. I have a genuine love for all animals, and have grown up with dogs, cats, farm animals and everything in between. Animals adore my company and high energy and the time I take to ensure they’re safe, fed, comfortable and have had plenty of time for exercise. When it comes to animal care I am definitely the person pet owners would seek out! Pet care works into my schedule in many ways! Essentially I’m available any day or time as I own a snow removal company and am really only busy on the days it snows more then 3” which for me is typically one to two days a week (maybe). How I take care of my puppy, well my dog is served food twice a day about 2 cups of dog food. She is my buisness partner as I work alone, so she rides shot gun everywhere I go when plowing. We have an underground fence although she has been very well trained that she wouldn’t run off even without a collar. My dog can sit, bow, lay down, roll over and I’ve trained her to off leash walk. Everywhere I go I am complimented on how well minded she is. And as a black lab shepherd mix that’s impressive considering the level of engergy she has. In my clients home I will tend to my clients specific instructions as I know every owner to puppy relationship is defferent. I will care for their animal just as they would. And ensure a easy going, safe, and happy environment for the best sitting experience possible.

She was very accommodating, considerate and kind, and we would absolutely have her care for our pup again! She sent us pictures or videos every day and helped put our mind at ease.

I recently hired Erin to watch my pups, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Erin displayed incredible patience and understanding, quickly establishing trust with my pups. She kept a consistent routine, which really helped calm my one high-strung dog’s nerves. Communication was excellent; Erin provided regular updates and shared photos, making me feel at ease while I was away. She also went above and beyond by engaging in playtime and providing plenty of exercise, which made a noticeable difference in my dog's behavior. Overall, I highly recommend Erin for anyone needing a sitter, especially for dogs with high energy or anxiety. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs!
