4. Ben T.
About: I currently have two dogs of my own that i care for, attending to their everyday needs and ensuring their health and wellbeing. my pets are currently living with my parents, so they are cared for while i watch your pets! I I have experience caring for puppies; my parents’ dog had two litters. I’ve always had a passion for animals. Growing up we always had a variety of animals, dogs, cats, turtles, assorted fishes, guinea pigs, chickens, goats, horses, etc. i volunteered at a local zoo for 4 years as a teen where i learned how to care for all kinds of animals; assorted reptiles (tortoises, turtles, lizards, and snakes of all sizes), and other animals like hedgehogs, ferrets, opposums, owls, ducks, etc) by keeping up with their daily needs like cleaning enclosures, preparing diets, providing enrichment, etc. I have a very flexible schedule with open availability. I’m able to care for your pets at virtually any time you may need me to! Since I live with two dogs currently, I’m not comfortable caring for pets they are unfamiliar with in my home. I prefer to care for your pets in their most familiar and comfortable environment: your home. I will ensure your pets receive all of the attention, care, and affection they need, while keeping them safe and following any special instructions you may have for me! :)

“Jennifer was great! Her 2 drop in visits with our 3- doodles went very well. She sent updates and photos and responded to all my messages. I highly recommend her and will request her services again.”


6. Mike W.

“I was apprehensive to book a pet sitter online but I want everyone to know if you are in the same boat please contact Mike! He came out to meet us, answer all our questions and meet the dogs. He sent a daily update on his visit with the dogs (we have 3) which included info on potty breaks, how they were doing and photos. I came home to happy pups that were loved and well cared for. Thank you Mike for all your help!!!”


7. Katlin W.

9. Kristan B.

“Kristan took great care of our pups! She gave detailed reports of her drop ins while we were out of town and gave our dogs plenty of backyard time. Our dogs seemed disappointed when we arrived back instead of her! We will definitely use Kristan again.”


10. Melody Q.

“Melody sat with our sweet Coco kitty for an hour and we are so thankful. She is prompt and professional and easy to work with. Coco lives her. We will be using her again for our trips out of town”


11. Rebekah W.

“Beka was awesome! Our dog is standoffish and doesn’t like very many people. When we leave he gets highly depressed and stops eating for days even after our return. Beka came to visit Timber prior to our trip and the he took to her right away. Timber ate like a champ the entire time we were gone and when we returned he was a happy happy boy, not in his normal funk like every other trip away. Beka sent us updates and took great care of Timber and the house while we were out. She has a wonderful sweet personality and is very trustworthy. We will absolutely use her again!”


12. Anastasia R.

13. Alexis M.
“Alexis took care of our four dogs that varied in size and temperament. She developed a wonderful relationship with them all. They all trusted her and were always happy to see her. She also tended to our rabbit and hamster and even our hens. She is truly a lover of all animals and deeply cares for their well being and individual needs.”


14. Graicyn W.
“Graicyn is very reliable and always maintains great communication when she takes care of my pets. I never have to worry about them when I go out of town as I know they are in great hands :)”


15. Tiffany W.
“I have worked at a spay/neuter clinic with Tiffany. She is/was a wonderful Vet assistant and was in charge of all the drugs and headed up the support team for the vets in surgery. She also was my pet sitter for many years. Even though she lived one hour from me she helped me out. I had at the time about 20 cats, 4 dogs, a parrot and some chickens. I felt so safe leaving them in her care. She even stayed overnight so my dogs had company and if needed to go out she was there. I can't say enough of her professionalism and dedication to my pets. When me and my husband came home she had left the place spotless. And the comfort it gave me that she could handle any emergency as a trained vet assistant was priceless to me. I recommend her highly to anyone who wants a professional pet sitter and someone who loves animals.”


16. Hayden & Tiffany P.
“Hayden was so great!! I felt like he really paid attention to my dog and made him feel at home. I never worried once that he wasn't being taking care of. Definitely recommend Hayden for anyone that wants their dog to be taken care of like it's his own!”


17. Hannah D.
“Hannah truly loves animals. She is responsible and hardworking and has always been amazing with our pets. I completely trust her to do her job and do it well!”


18. Jessica K.
“Jessica is my daughter and her love for animals is never ending. Her own animals are treated better then most humans. She will love and care for your fur babies as her own.”


19. Taylor M.
“Taylor is kind, communicative, and responsible. I never have to worry about my dog when she’s sitting for me. Sadie is always well taken care of and tuckered out by the time she comes home.”


20. Ashlyn B.
“Ashlyn is an amazing pet parent herself, I know she would be perfect for this type of work. I always come to her if I need any help; she's trustworthy and reliable and overall a great person. Your furbabies will love her, I know my fur babies sure do.”
