“Ben was EXCELLENT with our cat, Cleo. He kept us very informed throughout our time away and kept Cleo very happy and content. She is a pretty needy kitty - loves alot of attention and needs meds daily. Ben handled everything with ease and I knew Cleo was happy when we returned based on her attitude and the fact that she didn't show any of her telltale signs of stress (overgrooming for example). That proved to us that Ben took great care to pay attention to her and make her feel loved while her family was away. He also provided us daily pictures which were very welcome reminders that she was doing well. Would definitely recommend Ben to take care of you pets!”


“Mariah was communicated well while we were gone and was very patient with our puppy Bella. We could tell she was happy and relaxed in all of the photos despite it being her first time away from us. We arrived home to a clean and tidy home. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”


“Jessica was amazing! She sent updates the entire time and made sure all our pets were well taken care of. She even left our house looking like no one had even been there!”


“Paige is truly wonderful! Great communication with me. She came extremely last minute when I needed to deal with a family emergency and graciously cared for them an extra day. I don't know what I would have done without her! Lots of pictures to reassure me that my fur babies were being well taken care of. What a blessing!!”


“Suzuko checked in on Burg while I was out of town for a few days. She gave updates daily and updated me if there were any problems. She’s super reliable and I’d definitely recommend her to others. I definitely plan to book her in the future.”


“Crystal did a great job watching our 2 fur babies for 3 weeks. She sent us updates and pictures on a regular basis. When we walked in the door, they were happy and healthy. Thanks for taking good care of our kitty cats!”

About: I have 30 years of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds and all ages. I started out as a dog walker when I was a kid and would walk dogs for my neighbors and my passion for animals grew from there! Once I was old enough I volunteered at the local humane society and have continued providing care for pets ever since. I have quite a bit of experience working with reactive dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and even aggressive dogs. I have experience with house breaking and basic obedience training. I work part time from home which gives me a lot of flexibility to do what I’m most passionate about which is taking care of dogs! For dogs that stay in my home I have a fenced in back yard on a quarter acre. I absolutely love taking dogs for walks as well so they have an opportunity to take in the sights, and stop to sniff the trees. Dogs staying in my home have free range of the upstairs level of my home which is quite spacious. Plenty of space for zoomies on those bad weather days when we are cooped up inside!

About: My family and I have owned dogs my entire life, throughout my childhood where we had family dogs, and now where I have my own two dogs.

Monday-Friday I am available any time after 5pm, and Saturday and Sunday I am available all day! I have two super friendly dogs who love to make new friends! I can easily crate my dogs, or your dog(s), or keep them in separate rooms (depending on your preference). I have a large fenced in backyard, so there is lots of space to run around and play. I like to take my dogs on walks at least once a day, but they are let out to play in the backyard whenever they want to go out! (:
