“Leandra stop by within the window and Peaches was excited to see them. I got check-in pictures of them playing in the yard and relaxing inside after a well earned treat!”
“Tia did a wonderful job of taking care of Mitzi Sue! It relieved my worries so we could enjoy vacation. Mitzi is an outdoor kitty and only allows me to pet her. I'm Sure she knew who was taking care of her while we were gone! Thank you Tia!”
“Aidan has been great to work with so far! He is helping us as a drop-in sitter on days I have to be in the office and our pup, Bonnie, has had so much fun with him. Quick to respond, great availability, and very understanding of my pup’s quirks as she’s still got a lot of puppy in her!”
“Jean is the best; she’s the most responsible, most knowledgable animal caretaker I’ve encountered in my 15 years of living in the QC, and frankly, in my entire long life. My grumpy 15 yr. old cat appreciates her respectful behaviors and I finally feel secure in the knowledge that he will get the best care when I travel or have to suddenly go to the hospital, which has been a thing lately that has caused me so much worry. Those anxieties are a thing of the past, thank goodness!”
“Erica was great! We only needed her for two drop in visits since we were out of the home for about 13 hours. She came over a few days before to meet out r pups and see how to take of Bowie (he recently tore his ACL). She sent pictures and wrote report cards for both of her visits. We’ll definitely have her hang out with the kids again ?”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I've walked and sat my neighbors, brothers, and family friends dogs and cats whenever they leave town or want to have a day trip. I'm currently in my first year of Chiropractic School at Palmer. Pet sitting is one of the ways I like to use my free time. It also fits in my schedule very well. I know every animal is different. I like to get to know them better and build there trust by playing with them or taking them on a walk.
“Jenna and Spencer were wonderful! They offered to do a meet and greet ahead of time and made me feel completely at ease leaving my cats in their care. They followed all my instructions perfectly and sent lots of photos! I came home to two happy, healthy cats and could not be more grateful for the care they provided!”
About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.
“She is fantastic!! She's patient and very caring. I don't trust too many people, but I completely trust her. She took amazing care of my dog and spent some extra time with her when she was sad. Just an incredible young lady, and I highly recommend her.”
“Alli was wonderful especially since we hadn’t had our rescue dog very long and she is mistrusting of most people. After a day or two, Moxie looked forward to Alli’s visits and became loving and playful. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation without worry. Now Moxie keeps looking out the window and going to the door looking for Alli. It was a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone!”

Anna B.
“Anna is great with our three French bulldogs! She’s spent a couple weekends with them plus a couple drop ins and when she arrives you can see our boys are happy to see her. 🥰 She kept the house tidy, checked the mail, etc. She reached out with questions only if needed plus just enough updates so we knew all was well and we didn’t need to worry about the boys and could really enjoy the time away knowing the boys were at home and enjoying themselves too. She left helpful notes letting us know how things went and the status of meals, meds and potty breaks. Would highly recommend Anna!!”
