“McKenna was AMAZING with our three picky/skiddish cats. She’s very patient, sweet and loving. After our first meet and greet I instantly felt at ease and knew they were in perfect hands. We honestly couldn’t have found a more perfect sitter for our kitties and will definitely be contacting McKenna whenever we need a sitter! Thank you McKenna!”

About: I am currently a veterinarian assistant in school to become a veterinary technician. The most amount of animals have set for at once is 7 (3 dogs, 4 cats) all needing special diet food, and certain medication’s. overall, I really love animals and hope to make peoples lives easier by being able to take care of them. Currently, I’m in school Monday through Thursday and I work Wednesday through Friday. I am able to watch animals and do things in the morning and in the evening and whenever I would have the free time to go back to the home and make sure they’re ok. I can do whatever you would like me to do, whether that’s free roam or crate. Ultimately, whatever works in your home works for me.
About: I am open for Dog walking and house sitting for all sizes of dogs and cats, as well as general care for small critters such as rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and guinea pigs. I also have many years experience with horses, goats, sheep, and pigs. I have a very flexible schedule at this time. I've been an animal owner since I was a child. Always had a dog and cats growing up, also had fish, birds, hamsters and rabbits over the years. Despite being a part time student I have all online classes so fitting in your pets needs are very easily done at any hour. I live in an area of many bike trails and walking paths as well as a personal fenced in yard for any dogs who don't have access to dog parks or have socializing issues in large groups. I am currently unemployed and looking for a Part Time job. I will schedule animal care around that future schedule. I miss my rover days when I switched to full time work prior. I treat every clients pets and home with respect and care for it as my own. When I'm house sitting i often supply my own snacks and such and tell pet owners they don't need to supply me. I stay within the set boundaries of each home as well.
“April came over in kind of a last minute scenario, but she still made it work and we came home to a very happy puppy dog later that day! April got Roxy all of her medications, fed her and loved her as I would of if I was home. I work for the railroad and have a wild schedule, and April was there to save the day! I highly recommend April; your pooch will love her!”

“Angie did such an amazing job with our two kitties while we were away on our trip. She did a few drop in visits for us and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She even stopped by before our trip to do a meet and greet with us and the kitties. It made us feel so relieved knowing that they were safe and in good hands while we were away. She also sent us the cutest photos of them! I would highly recommend Angie if you are looking for someone to watch your pet. She is very trustworthy and caring. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all backgrounds and breeds, I've worked at a doggy Daycare for 2 years and in that time I have learned everything I possibly can about dog body language! I also have a neurotic 1.5 year old golden retriever puppy at home that has really taught me how to work with dogs that get overstimulated too easy, and also how important mental stimulation is! Currently I have a very set schedule! I go to school Monday-Thursday from 7:30am-3:30pm and after that I might work on some homework but I'm usually doing some enrichment activities with my families dog, like playing fetch, trick work, hide and go seek with treats, and whatever else I can think of! On Fridays I usually work 6:30am-11:15am and then 1:30pm-6pm, and every other Saturday I work 7am-11am! I will treat your house how I treat an expensive store that sells fragile ceramics, don't touch anything at all and barley look. When it comes to dogs I treat each one that I work with, with the utmost respect, I always let dogs come to me and I fully respect their boundaries! I also absolutely love doing some training work so if you have any tricks that you like to work on I would love to know!!
About: Hey everyone I’m Emma! I grew up on a farm and have worked with so many different animals species. I love working with dogs and can do lots of different training exercises with your dogs. I have worked with both large and small dogs, and dogs of all ages. I used to foster dogs, and train them up for their forever homes! I am currently a college student taking courses T and THUR from 8-3. I work on my family farm currently from 8am-4pm M,W,F. But am able to stop by around noon during my lunch break if your pet requires an extra let out and I work about 2 minutes away from my house as well. I live out on a farm, so there is a large yard for you pets to run around. I have a kennel for smaller dogs and a puppy play pen already from fostering as well as basic food dishes, toys, treats, etc.
“Jackie was awesome. She definitely took care of the worry of leaving our pets and she made sure to let me know they were all still doing ok especially during a stormy rainy period when we were gone. Thank you !!!”
About: I have had dogs since I was to young to remember! My passion has always been making dogs happy! Through having completely different kinds of dogs myself and helping with family and friends I have gotten experience with all type of animals! I am currently only working part time and looking to stay busy walking pups! I live a very active lifestyle and bringing the dogs along is always my favorite. I currently have my own pets whom are extremely social and friendly! I have a big yard any dog would love to run and play in!
About: I have been a dog momma and lover for years. They are my world and I am theirs. Yours will be taken care of at the same level I care for my own! I am sincerely drawn to dogs when I see them. They've got so much love and joy to offer this world, how could you not? I have 3 labs currently and have trained all of my dogs from babies on up. We have almost always maintained a 3 dog household, they get walks everyday so long as the weather permits and plenty of playtime. Rest assured, your pup will be taken care of in the same respect and manner as I care for my own. I work from home so can make time for lunch time appointments if close enough to my home, I work until 5 so can be available in the evenings until 9pm, except for Wednesdays I have volleyball either at 6:30 or 7:30, but can still make appointments work in there. Also around most weekends except for family events here and there and two vacations we take a year. :) I protect them with my life. I love my babies so deeply and am so thankful I work from home so I get to be with them everyday. Yours will be treated no different. Dogs have so much love and joy to offer the world and they only deserve the same in return.
About: I have dog sorted for many family members and friends. I love all animals and truly give each one of them my love and care no matter what! I hope to meet you furry friend and best friend soon. At home I care for two cats a bearded dragon and a tank full of fish. As a server over the summer my schedule is sporadic, but allows me to work shorter hours and be available more frequently for your animals I have always been taught to leave a space cleaner than I found it and I will not treat your space any different. I make sure to give my pets specific love and attention each day and keep them on a strict meal schedule. Of course I will do everything I can to make sure you furry friends are as comfortable as possible while you are gone :)

Abigail M.
“Abigail was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 dogs and 4 cats while we were out of the state for 2 weeks. Each of my pets had pretty specific needs such as daily medications and all being fed different food, and Abigail was able to follow my instructions to a tee! Not only was she amazing at staying in touch with me and sending pictures whenever I asked, my pets also loved her! I also love that she has extensive veterinary medicine knowledge and experience, so that if any of my pets got sick while we were gone, she would know what to do! Leaving our pets for that length of time was nerve racking at first, but once we were on our trip, I did not find myself worrying at all. When we came home, my dogs were even treated to a new toy from their new friend, Abigail. I 10/10 recommended her and would 100% book her again for our pet sitting needs.”
