“Samantha was a great addition to me leaving my pups for a vacation and not having extra anxiety!!! The dogs seemed to love her company and were able to get their potty break during the day without holding it too long. She was patient and very detailed with her updates and pictures during each one of her visits!!! Thanks so much!!!”

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and extensive experience in pet care, having grown up in a home where we always had a dog, along with a variety of other pets including cats, birds, and small animals. From a young age, I learned the importance of responsibility, patience, and compassion when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it was daily walks, feeding routines, grooming, or vet visits, I was always actively involved in making sure our pets were happy and healthy. My genuine love for animals has only grown over the years, and I take pride in providing them with attentive, reliable, and affectionate care. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I make time each day to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime throughout the day, or evening wind-downs with cuddles and grooming, I prioritize their well-being and make sure their needs are consistently met. It doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise routines, and preferred activities. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel secure by keeping their surroundings familiar. In my own home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space where animals can feel relaxed and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I focus on making each pet feel loved, comfortable, and stress-free while in my care.

“Marissa did such a great job with our two kittens! They were very well taken care of while I was away and I didn’t have to worry at all. She sends many photos and gives updates for each visit. We will be booking Marissa in the future.”

“We knew Karolly would be perfect from the second she met Winona. She is so sweet and went the extra mile and beyond to take care of our girl. Every video included the music she was using to help Winona relax along with lots of sweet talking and pets. We left the house with full confidence that she would do the best job she could and are very grateful she was there to check in on Winona over the holidays.”

“Abby was amazing with our dog, Stella! While we were away, she kept us updated with sweet messages and adorable photos that showed how happy and comfortable Stella was. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was being so well cared for. Abby went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of many kind since I was 7 years old. I had my first furry best friend when I was 7 had him up to 6 years rip! Ever since than I’ve helped take care of family’s pets up to friends and people they know of. I tend to feed deers birds and even stray cats I’ve always been an animal lover myself. I have my own frenchie he’s well taken care of and has been my second best friend for a few years now. I do all this for the love and care they deserve even for you guys! Life can be too much sometimes! I love to help and make peoples life easier that’s just me. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care/play for your pets. Mornings any week day can definitely work 5am-4pm (soon I will do this full time!) I have one frenchie, I have a fenced yard, dog toys and 2 dog beds (for fur guests). Bowls for food and water he eats twice a day plus healthy snacks and I leave potty pads at times just in case. He’s well potty trained he cries or whines when he needs to go that’s when I take him out but I’d say he’s taken out at least every 4 hours. I have a a mini dog fence to block the kitchen when I’m cooking.

About: I love animals and am passionate about giving them good, healthy lives. I have experience and am trained to work with animals, temper aggressive breeds, and administer medication if needed. I am active and have no problem with long or frequent walks. I work from home, so no animal will ever be left unattended in my care. I don't mind pets on the furniture and I have a wide open living room space for play time. Everything is per your instruction, just let me know any accommodations I can make and Ill have them arranged for your pup! Pet care is a daily part of my routine. I am with an animal every day and I love exercising with them and just generally spending time! I can easily crate a dog if needed, and have a large open living room for play time. I also dont mind pets on the furniture while boarding, but it is all up to the parents instruction

“Julie was a great pet sitter. She was very detailed with her visit summary and went the extra mile to make sure the pets felt comfortable with her before interacting.”

Carolina M.

“Sara was very communicative and professional. The dogs warmed up to her fast - she met them before hand and learned their routine. She also sent pics and updates and was on time each time to let them out and feed them. She spend a good amount of time with the boys to make sure they got some exercise and ate. We were able to enjoy our time away and know that our dogs were having a great time and were very well cared for! Thanks again Sara!”

Chelsie H.

“Kirsten went above and beyond, staying longer than required most visits and making sure our two boys got great walks in. She helped pull in packages while we were gone and took great care of the house. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Kirsten!”
