“Laurie was absolutely great! She was so good to Odin and welcomed into her home as if he was her own. He adapted well to her family and she kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. We are so thankful for her!”

I know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, so I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and genuine compassion, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. 🐾 I currently stay at home with my boys so I am available to give lots of love and attention to your fur babies while I do the same to my own! I have a large fenced in backyard, a quiet neighborhood for walks, 2 toddler boys who will help with lots of playtime, and a small dog who loves company!

“Pam is the best! My dog Jax loves staying with her. She is so calm and patient with him. And she is located at a great location for me and has been very willing to take care of him on short notice. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter.”

“Goldie, being a rescue, is a really anxious and apprehensive dog. Lydia was awesome with her, she has the expertise (being a foster for a rescue) to make the dog feel comfortable and safe. Goldie was really spoiled in her stay, we also ran into a delay in our trip and Lydia was awesome and understanding. I totally recommend her for sitting your dog!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for my whole life. I currently own two Ferret, two dogs, and two cats. I love training dogs I am actually trying to save money to start taking certifications for dog training. I am a disabled human, so I spend almost all day at home able to care for animals. Dogs will go outside to potty every 4 hours unless special instructions are given. My dog Ruger will not be around any male dogs that I watch. I will only accept to watch a dog if the owner also bring their dog a crate, their own toys, and some of the dogs food. I will not accept dogs that have any aggression.

“Anna was wonderful with my 3 dogs. She even texted me a day later to let me know the dogs were doing great. I will definitely use her again!!”

Sandy W.

“I cant recommend a more professional dog sitter than Samantha. She was willing to watch my dog short notice and took amazing care of her. Even with freezing temps she kept my dog engaged with indoor activities. Her home is extremely clean and has a great backyard for dogs to get exercise. Consistently kept me informed of how my dog was doing. She truly is top notch!”

Paul H.

“I would recommend Haylie and her family! They took care of our new addition to our family while we were away a few days. They were very understanding of her anxiety of being away from her family for the first time since we got her. They took good care of her. She was clean and everything I dropped off for her was also well cared for. She sent multiple videos and photos throughout the stay. I would rebook with Haylie in the future.”

Stacy T.

“Brandi did a wonderful job of watching our fur babies with not much notice. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in great hands!”

Dawn J.

“Dessi was amazing! She took great care of my dogs while we were out of town. She has an awesome set up for the dogs and they loved it. I will definitely be using Dessi for any future dog sitting needs I have.”

About: We love dogs! We have a female English massiff that stays inside, and currently care for 4 hunting hounds in our outside kennel. I can care for your dog any way that you see fit. If you are more comfortable with your dog staying in their own home I can do that. I am also available for drop ins. And walks. I do work a part time job Wednesday- Saturday 9:30-5pm. I have 3 children so your pet must be friendly with children. We are a dog loving family. We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you and your wonderful dog. Feel free to ask me any questions. I currently work a part time job from 9:30am-5pm Wednesday- Saturday. On my days off and before and after work I will have time to spend with your dogs. I currently am not offering sitting at my house. But I’m more than happy to care for your animals at your home, providing any services that you need.

About: Dog training actually runs in my family, so I grew up around well-trained, well-loved dogs and learned early on how to read behavior, reinforce good habits, and create a calm, positive environment. Because of that, I’m confident with puppies, high-energy dogs, and dogs that need a little extra structure. I’m also a very attentive sitter—I keep routines consistent, communicate clearly, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. Whether it’s crate-training reminders, reinforcing commands, or giving extra patience to senior pups, I tailor my care to each dog’s needs. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family with structure, affection, and lots of updates so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time every day to feed, play with, and check in on animals, making sure they get attention, exercise, and structure. I’m very organized, so I can easily incorporate walks, play sessions, and litter box maintenance into my schedule without conflicts. Because I genuinely love animals, I don’t just see care as a task—it’s a part of my day I look forward to. Whether it’s spending time with a high-energy puppy or giving a senior cat extra attention, I prioritize pets’ needs alongside my school and personal responsibilities. In my home: I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets to feel comfortable. I make sure each pet has access to fresh water, healthy meals on schedule, and plenty of attention and playtime. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes daily, offer cozy resting spots, and give lots of affection. For dogs, I provide regular walks, structured play, and lots of love. I also make sure to follow any special instructions, from medications to feeding routines, so pets feel secure and cared for. In your home: I treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I follow your pet’s routine exactly, including feeding, playtime, and any medications. I keep your home tidy, provide companionship, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also provide updates so you always know your furry family member is in good hands.

“Sydney and Andrew took great care of LeRoy Jenkins and I have already booked them to watch him on a subsequent visit. Sydney is very responsive and sent lots of pics / videos to let me know how LeRoy Jenkins was doing, which eased my anxiety so I could enjoy my trip :)”
