“Celeste's communication while we were away was fantastic! It felt like she really understood how important our pets are to us and kept us updated to date! We came home to happy pets and a clean house.”

“She did a great job keeping me updated on my dogs. She responds quick help ease the stress of leaving my dogs . my 2 frenchies seem to enjoyed their time with her. Thanks again.”


“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”

“I needed a sitter for my dog last minute and Christian came through for us! Very communicative and took excellent care of my pup. Will definitely use again!”


“Amanda took the worry out of leaving my puppy (I mean, my 60# bundle of joy) for a weekend away with my family. She patiently listened to dozens of my details about Schatzee's schedules, habits, likes, dislikes, foibles, our neighborhood, and on and on. Amanda didn't miss a beat! She's detailed, professional, and super-nice! I recommend Amanda.”

“Shea is so sweet- She was wonderful with our two dogs while we were out of town. She stayed in our home- she’s clean and trustworthy. We will absolutely use her again.”


About: As a child I inherited my mother’s absolute adoration for dogs. We always had several at a time having loved them all to the fullest. Have plenty experience with dogs of all ages including puppies, and elderly! I specialize in dogs with anxiety, as well as high energy dogs. I work in the mornings, so ideally I’d be able to walk them before work, and then spend evenings with them! Whether that is just a walk or quality time! Making sure that they have all their needs met is incredibly important. Giving them time to eat, play, and relax. Also cleaning up after pets.
“Ronnie went over and above! I can only recommend him highly! He was flexible with my schedule and loved my babies like they were his own! I will definitely be booking again! I’ve had multiple sisters and none of them made my dogs and cats as happy! He sent pictures and was immediate in communicating with me!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 16 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or relaxing with cuddles, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I have a very flexible schedule and will always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time, and taking online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and daycare throughout the week, with additional availability on evenings and weekends. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, plenty of love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, you can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of love and attention so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Rhoda is our go to sitter! She truly cares for our dog as if he was her own and he loves her so much. She sends lots of great pictures and updates which I appreciate so much. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Riley is absolutely wonderful! Our 9 year old golden-doodle and 20 year old Maine Coon cat adore Riley! She’s reliable, communicative, and very well educated when it comes to animals. My husband and I fully trust her and she’s our go to sitter when we need one :)”

“Karen is phenomenal! She took such great care of our dog while we were gone for 5 days. She provided us with fantastic communication, very trustworthy, kind and fantastic with pets! We highly recommended Karen 😁”

“We love having Katherine pet sit. She gives the menagerie a ton of attention and we really appreciate the photos and videos that allow us to know everything's good so we can travel with peaceful minds. :)”

About: Having worked in the pet industry from my past work experience has allowed be to gain knowledge on how to deal with various situations that would relate to your pet. Some of these situations include: Basic behavioral techniques, reading basic social cues and/or body language, applying basic commands (dogs), socialization, walks, and appropriate food distribution. Volunteering at pet shelters has also provided me with knowledge on handling pets of different ages (puppy/kitten-senior). Not to mention, I am also a Social media Influencer hoping to provide my dogs with the best life possible. Working from home would allows me to practically never leave your pets side during boarding or sitting (boarding preferably). My dogs and I create fun/informative videos on different social medias (YouTube, Instagram, and Tiktok) and are alway happy to invite other pet owners to participate! To check us, just type in our Channel name: LifeWoofPaws on any of the social media platforms. Aside from my favorite hobby, I have done pet sitting for friends and family that range from a variety of different animals 🐶🐱🐹🐢🕸️🐠🐇🦔🦜 Currently I work from home full-time, so I can be present with your furbaby more often than not whether that be for pet sitting or boarding (boarding preferred). If your pet is more of an outside fur baby, I have a large fenced backyard with a patio for he or she to escape the sun when needed and a glass sliding door for your dog be in eyes view. If more of an inside pet and potty/crate trained, no area if off limits to roam. If not potty/crate trained, I have a play pin that will allow them extra space to still move around and play with puppy pads in it. Having my own pet, I have plenty of toys and a playmate for your fur buddy to interact with if he or she is friendly. If not socialized, my home is spacious enough to keep your pet inside with me, while my pet (dog) stays outside where he is 85% of the time (or vice versa).
“Eric and Julia did an amazing job with our rambunctious pups while we were bringing our baby girl home from the hospital. We get really anxious leaving our dogs but ended up having nothing to worry about! Not to mention, they were able to stay a last minute extra night when we had an extended stay at the hospital. Thank you so much guys!”


About: Hi y’all! I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up on a farm for several years of my life and I got to care for many different animals! Cats, dogs, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, and a pony. I’ve also helped family and friends with their farm animals and pets as well. Friends, neighbors, family, and some strangers have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. My last dog Buddy was actually 15 years old and I learned to take care of him very well. He has since passed away but my experiences and memories with him has made my love of animals grow even more! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work during the day, but I am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet’s needs while providing reliable, consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings and your pet’s behavior to ensure they remain safe at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Erin followed my dogs' schedule exactly as instructed. I was very happy with the care she provided, giving them plenty of attention, cuddles, and love while I was away. We had bad weather that weekend, which makes one of my dogs very nervous, but Erin was always home with them, making sure they felt safe and cared for. I truly appreciated her dedication and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you Erin!!!

I was very pleased with Christian! This was my first experience using a house sitter, but he was easy going, great with the dogs, and communicated well. In addition to that, he was very flexible when my plans had to change. Would use him again without hesitation.
Meredith is amazing! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. When I got home, everything was exactly as I had left it, clean, organized, and well taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lucas was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

We are so glad we found Julia & Eric. Communication was excellent throughout our time away, and we always felt informed and reassured. Loved all of the photos & video updates. Knowing Gracie was in good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Will definitely be booking with them again!
