“Kari was great! She did an excellent job taking care of our kitty while we were gone. Our little kitty needs her meds every night and Kari did a great job of making sure she got what she needed. Will definitely book with her again.”



“Jason's help is so appreciated! Our dog Sam was well taken care of (feeding & walking). It looks like Sam made new friends and had fun playing. We would ask for him to come sit Sam again. Thank you !”


About: I have personally owned dogs as long as I can remember. From Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I have dog sat numerous times, between boarding at my house and house sitting at a client’s home. I’m a true dog-lover at heart. I love dogs in all shapes and sizes. They are the most loving and most loyal. They really are better than most people! Lol. I have a sweet, energetic, laid-back, one and a half year old mini poodle. I also have a 3 year old hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal and likes to keep to himself, pets don’t interact with him. He’s caged in my room and will be out of the way. I also have experience in taking care of senior dogs including: administering meds, feeding picky eaters, helping with potty breaks, helping with walks, etc. I have personally trained all of the dogs that I have owned. I have lots of puppy experience and don’t believe in “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” as I have also trained older dogs that I have rescued. I currently work from home and I am usually off by late afternoon/early evening. I can be home with your baby. We can play and take as many potty breaks as needed. I also don’t work on the weekends and like to fill my weekends up with fun activities! I have a fenced in backyard and a safe neighborhood to go on walks. Your doggo would have complete freedom of the house (as long as I’m home, of course). Doggies are allowed on the furniture and allowed to sleep with me. If they are crate trained, of course that’s okay too.

About: I have a lot of experience with various animals besides dogs and cats. I also have worked with live stock, lizards and exotics. I worked at a massive boarding kennel were I learned to administrate various medications pills and insulin shots, learned basic training techniques, and over all general care for domestic animals. From this experience I started my own pet sitting business which I did off and on for a few years. Then pick up some business for a little extra cash in dog walking and pet sitting. I have taken a break from that to raise my daughter and become more established at my current job, but miss working with animals and would like to get back to helping those I can. I mainly would like to assist in dog walking, but if some pet sitting needs to be had, I'd be more than happy to assist there as well. I found from working in the boarding kennel, many dogs do find it more comfortable in a home setting then a kennel. I do work full time, M-Th 6:30 to 5 pm. I can take in 1 to 2 dogs in my home during this time, I do have a dog door and do come home for an hr for lunch. I do have a dog, so any dogs in my home would need to get along with mine. However, I can do dog walking in the evenings on Thursdays starting at 6 pm to 8 pm during summer months. Otherwise Fridays and weekends are best. Any time Friday, though occasionally I may not be available in the afternoons due to dropping off my daughter, Sat I can be available anytime, and Sunday Mornings and Evenings are best. Some afternoons are available if I don't have to pick up my daughter. I have a dog door with a 4 ft fence and a 6 ft fence on the sides separating my neighbors and I. If your dog is playful, I have a very playful and submissive dog. I'm very respectful of other peoples space and am great at communicating the needs of the owner for their pet. I'm accustomed to following written instructions and do like to meet ahead of time to meet the pet and go over feeding and/or medication instructions. I may have my 5 year old daughter with me, however, if the animal does not do well with children, please communicate that so no incidences happen. If I cannot have my daughter around, will be harder for me to commit to any sort of sitting or walking.

“Jazmine did a fab job with my old puppy. He was applied and loved while I had to be out of town. I’ve never used a sitter before, but would ABSOLUTELY use this lovely human again.”


“Mikaela took wonderful care of my kitties, rooster and lizard while I was away. It was great peace of mind knowing they were being checked on daily. It was also nice having a record of what was done each day with pictures, along with a report of how everyone was. How fun seeing your pets through someone else's eyes. Makayla's descriptions cracked me up, the antics of all of them in their own way. She described my rooster as being sassy to her one day, I really did lol because that's a perfect description of him. Overall I am so incredibly pleased with my experience with Makayla. She is very likeable right from the start and easy to communicate with. Setting up an initial meeting was simple. She understood my instructions, had no problem asking for clarification if she didn't understand or forgot a detail. Everything was in order when I returned home. I'm happily pleased with the overall experience and would book with Makayla again. Thank you Makayla!!”


“Cathy was great with the dogs!! She communicated very well, was on time, and took care of my babies without any issues. One is young, rambunctious, and energetic while the other is small and old but still likes a little attention and play time. She did well with both.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life and my dog Zephyr and I are looking forward to taking care of your special furry friend too. Zephyr is a Goldendoodle and gets along well with other dogs of all sizes and ages, he also understands when another dog wants to be left alone. I work from home and have plenty of free time for play. Zephyr and I take regular trips to the park, the river or lake, and hiking. My home has a secure fenced yard and his privacy fenced in the back. It also has a nice grassy area in the front. That’s great for playing and relaxing.

“Jon was amazing with our dogs! We have one dog who has a lot of anxiety and is very timid and Jon was wonderful at noticing his needs and taking care of him. We will definitely book with Jon again!”


About: I have over 15 years of experience providing compassionate care for a wide range of animals. From dogs and cats to birds, small animals like hamsters and guinea pigs, and even fish, I'm committed to ensuring every pet receives exceptional, individualized attention. My goal is always to keep them comfortable and happy while their favorite people are away, and you can also count on consistent communication from me, with regular updates on how your beloved companions are doing. I'm a dedicated pet sitter with a super part-time job, meaning my schedule is incredibly flexible to prioritize your pets' needs! Getting around is always reliable, so you can count on me to be there. I just ask for a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure everyone (pets included!) feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Your pet isn't just a client – they're literally the center of their own universe, and I'm here to make sure they feel it! I'm all about creating a super safe, comfy, and chill environment where every furry friend can just kick back and be themselves. People often tell me I'm like the male version of 'Snow White' because animals just seem to trust and adore me quicker than most people they've meet. Honestly, it's pretty special how quickly the bonding happens! So, get ready for some serious spoiling. I'm here to make your life easier and ensure your beloved companions have an absolute blast. Trust me, your pets will definitely be in the right hands.


“Melissa took excellent care of our cats Bindi and Sophie while we were on vacation. Bindi tends to overeat so we never leave large amounts of cat food in their dishes. Melissa came to our home twice a day to check on the kitties and manage their eating habits. The kitties are very shy so they usually ran under a bed when Melissa arrived. She tried to send us a picture of them at each visit but they preferred to hide! No matter. Bindi and Sophie were in excellent spirits when we came home. We will definitely use Melissa’s services again.”


“Amanda did a great job taking care of our 2 kitties for several days, visiting twice a day, and was very attentive during the meet & greet. We will be asking her to cat-sit for us again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little with my first beagle Buddy! I often cat sit for family members as well! I would be glad to care for yours!

My schedule is completely open and I would love to spend some time with your pets:) I am very comfortable around all pets and can care for yours as needed. My dog at home is very friendly. I will have to care for your animals in your home.

About: I have cared for many animals over the years, and always treat them as if they were my own. I strive to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! I am currently a full-time student, so I am unavailable some days of the week. However, I am available to sit most days of the week! I do not offer services out of my home due to having other animals, but I’m more than happy to care for your dogs just as you would if you were home!

Renata S.
“Renata has always been a fantastic dog parent! She is responsible and truly loves dogs. She goes the extra mile for them and they all love her. Even her two own would rather hang out with her even more than hanging out with anyone else or even any of the dogs! She has had a dog since she was 5 years old and has solely taken care of all of them! She is an avid walker using apple health and step bet to get her steps in. All the dogs love walking with her. She is so compassionate and kind and has a heart for all living animals!”

He is absolutely phenomenal! He is great at sending pictures and updates because let’s be honest we all worry about our fur babies when we’re gone and Chase takes that stress away with consistent texts, pictures, and videos. He also is a great house guest and cleans up so well. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”

Harlie H.
“I have a very high maintenance, feisty Papillon (Harley) and Bella is awesome with him! Bella is very trustworthy and responsible. She stays overnight at my house with Harley. The house is always clean and tidy when I return (well as clean and tidy as I left it LOL). If there's ever any problem she texts me to let me know (one time Harley threw up so she wanted me to know he wasn't feeling well). I don't think you could find a better sitter for your pup than Bella (Harley agrees)!”
