1. Casey L.
“If you have cats and need care for them when you are not home, Casey is your answer. It is obvious she cares about felines and knows how to care for them. She came to our home to check on our three, sent pictures and made sure all were OK while we were out of town. Such a relief to have someone in the area that you can count on for care and check-ins.”
2. Abdulhadi A.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a child, spending much of my childhood caring for and training them on my family’s farm. Dogs have always been my best friends, and I truly enjoy playing and bonding with them. I take a personalized approach to ensure that every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. My commitment is to provide not just basic care, but the kind of attention that makes your pet feel like they’re with their best friend. I’m currently a student, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pet. I am available on weekends at any time and weekdays after 4:30 p.m. I have a fenced yard to keep me and your fur baby playing around, I can walk them and run with’em too. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
3. Lindsey V.
“Lindsey has watched my cat multiple times and she is very attentive to what she needs. She is very hands on, and kept me updated with photos the entire time. I get nervous to leave my fur baby, but Lindsey has made me feel secure and confident that everything is okay when I’m gone. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for outstanding and loving care for your pets.”
4. Jessica B.
“Jessica was able to take a last minute booking to look after my fur baby for me! He doesn't usually take to people so quickly but my dog seemed to love her and I felt confident that he was going to be good while I was gone for the night! She is also super kind and even closed my garage for me when I forgot to close it! Thank you so much!”
5. Erika J.
“Erika saved us. I needed a last minute check in for my dog this weekend and she was able to help us out. Her communication really put me at ease and I cant wait to book her again!”
6. Riely C.
“Having Riely do a drop in for our 2 dogs was easy and reassuring. Riely came to our home to meet our 2 dogs before doing the drop in visit. Riely is a very nice, friendly young lady who was able to interact with our dogs immediately. She is a professional and truly likes being with the dogs. We also appreciated her flexibility and availibity to come to our home. Riely gave us an update on the dogs with pictures! It's hard to leave the dogs for more than several hours at a time but Riely spent extra time with them and helped relieve some of that stress. I would definitely recommend her!”
7. Hannah C.
“Hannah is my number one choice to watch my pup when I’m out of town. I have a very energetic dog and she takes him on the longest walks and runs of anyone I’ve hired. I trust her to stay in my home because she is respectful and she always cleans up after herself. She even buys my dog toys when they inevitably get lost or destroyed. She truly cares for animals and genuinely enjoys hanging out with my pup. She’s the best!”
8. Jessica L.
“Jessica was great with my two kitties! It’s obvious she loves animals. Even though I was kind of out of cell service for most of my trip, it was great to get the updates and pictures and videos of my babies and know that they were in good hands.”
9. Heather A.
About: I’m a vet tech that is certified in fear free, CPR, and basic medical training. I have experience in giving medication to pets, whelping, potty training and more. Pet care fits into my schedule better now as I’m not working to prep for the holidays. I’m more than happy to speak with owners about my day to day. I have a fenced yard, 2 very friendly dogs that will be with me throughout the day. I do have kennels available for either mine or yours whatever is more comfortable.
10. Lucia G.
“Lucia is a very kind and compassionate soul. She has always had her own pets, which she has been the greatest caregiver for. I would give my highest recommendation to Lucia when it comes to her willingness to love and care for animals.”
11. Jordan S.
“Wow! Where to begin! Jordan took such good care of our dog Willow! We had Jordan housesit for us while we went on a roughly 3 week road trip and she watched willow while we were away. Jordan always sent us updates and photos throughout the entire trip and took such great care of our dog and house. I seriously could not recommend her enough. We felt totally at ease while we were gone and willow loves her. Thank you Jordan for everything and we are so lucky to have found you!”
12. Kaylea L.
“Kaylea was dependable, sweet, thoughtful, and responsible. I'll definitely ask her to help out in the future.”
13. Bryce O.
“Have had the pleasure of working with Bryce on several occasions with our 3 dogs - he is attentive, responsive and very caring! We highly recommend Bryce!”
14. Timothy H.
“Tim is a very kind, intuitive lover of all animals and especially dogs. He has taken care of our doggie on multiple occasions and we would most certainly use him again.”
15. Emily E.
“Emily is a kind soul and one of the biggest dog lovers I personally know. Most of her time is spent with her dog moe who is her best friend. She has baby sat for me multiple times and while taking care of the dogs.”
16. Allison H.
“Allison did a great job of taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She brushed our one cat who gets very nervous and is calmed by being brushed. She made sure they had water and food (and their treats) and cleaned out their litter box daily. She gave them attention and loving and sent us detailed updates daily along with photos. We knew they had been well cared for when we arrived home and the cats acted as if we had just run an errand and not that we had been gone for five days. We will definitely be asking Allison to watch our cats again.”
17. Jessica H.
“Jess helped take care of my ranch including 7 dogs and 3 cats while I went on vacation for a week last summer. She has been caring for our pets on vacations for the past few years and always is able to keep the animals happy and cared for. She has had to handle emergency vet services with one of our horses before when it got twisted gut while we were away and was able to care for the horse as instructed which allowed it to make a full recovery. She has a great knowledge of what animals need and how to care for them and they seem to love her just as much! We have been fortunate enough to have been able to utilize her for so many years and we highly recommend using her for all of your pet sitting needs!”
18. Jennifer B.
“I am a new mom and Jennifer watches and walks my dogs for me multiple times a week. I have a 75lb and a 25lb dog who both get very excited to see her! They perk up when they hear her car pull in and wait for her by the door. She takes her time on the walks and pick up after them when necessary! I am very greatful for her ability to take care of my puppies when I am not able and would recommend her to anyone wanting someone to watch and or walk their fur babies! 🐾”
19. Stephanie R.
About: Hello! My name's Stephanie. I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years, so I have a lot of experience caring for a variety of animals with special needs. I am comfortable giving oral and injected medications if needed and caring for pets with medical needs. I have walked dogs and pet-sit many times for friends and clients in the past. I have two cats and three dogs of my own. In my free time I love gardening and hiking with my dogs! My schedule is fairly flexible! I am in graduate school and am available throughout the day on most days. It is important to me that I meet with you and your dog before going on any solo walks or pet sitting.😊 Keeping myself and your dog safe is the most important thing to me. It is important for me to know if your dog is reactive to other people, dogs, loud noises, etc so that I can keep them safe while we are together!
