“Anthony is unbelievable! He is the dog whisperer. Our dog Elvis loves him! We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Anthony gave to him. He stayed in our home and took care of it like his own. We are so happy that we were blessed to find him.”

“This was the first time I had a sitter in my home. I was anxious but I knew my sweet dog, Pepper, would be more comfortable and easy at home. Pepper was very comfortable even sleeping in bed with Samantha. Plants were watered and she even made my bed for me as I was arriving home late. I have already booked her again. I would have preferred more communication and pics especially on that first day.”

“Addie did a great job caring for our senior dog and two cats. She sent pictures while we were away so we felt connected to home while on vacation. We returned to a clean house and happy pets!”

“Jessica was the best!!! She went above and beyond to care for my pup! She was punctual and always made sure to give an update with each visit. For someone who is nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger I can say that she calmed my nerves and she no longer feels like a stranger. Will certainly use her services in the future.”

About: I offer loving, reliable pet care in a calm and relaxed environment. I specialize in well-behaved pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs over the years and truly treat them as part of the family. We had beloved dogs growing up, and I’ve also had cats—including a rescue cat which we loved very much. I'm naturally attentive to each pet's behavior, routine, and comfort. I take the time to understand their personality, so they feel calm and secure while you're away. I'm also friendly, respectful, clean and easy to communicate with. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for pets in my care. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take pets out on leashed walks and supervised potty breaks to ensure their safety at all times. I also have a spacious outdoor patio area for fresh air and short breaks. Inside, I maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. In a client’s home, I respect their space and instructions, keeping their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.
“Carol was great. Apollo has severe anxiety during thunderstorms and she took care of him. Gave him his medication and cuddled with him to make him feel safe. She played with him and took him on short walks. She asked questions when needed and sent us pictures daily. I highly recommend Carol. She treated Apollo like he was her own. We already have her booked for a second time.”


About: Pets have always been a part of my life—whether fur, scales, or feathers, there’s never been a time my home wasn’t shared with animals. I truly believe pets don’t just live in a house—they make it a home and become family. I recently welcomed a playful cat named Ducky, who has quickly reminded us what it’s like to have curiosity, energy, and a bit of chaos woven into everyday life. That same appreciation for each pet’s personality carries into the care I provide. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay, you can count on me to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for as if they were my own. I focus on maintaining their routine, minimizing stress, and making sure they feel secure and at ease—until you’re back home and reunited. I'm currently a reservist in the military, so I have a lot of free time to help busy schedules and vacations. You want to take that cruise you have been planning? Or have a busy meeting to go to? You can count on me We share our home with a lively, vocal kitty named Ducky who keeps things active and full of personality. She’s playful, curious, and always ready to “chat,” which has made us very attentive to creating a safe, calm, and well-managed environment for all animals in our care. That same level of awareness and responsibility extends to every pet I look after. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort, ensuring each pet feels secure and cared for as part of the family while they’re with me.
“Katie was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone nervous about leaving their pets. She eased our minds with several pictures throughout the day. All of my animals looked happy and relaxed. Her communication throughout her stay with our animals was fast and frequent. We came home to happy animals and a spotless house. Thank you so much!!”

About: I am an animal lover. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life as well as goats, chickens, and an occasional bird. I’ve also rescued and/or raised squirrels, rabbits, and a raccoon. I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your babies. My baby (chihuahua) has epilepsy so I’m familiar with sticking to routines and administering oral medication. I am really quite a home body. I do a lot of crocheting. The only time that is not negotiable is the first and third Saturday 7:00am to 2:00pm of each month when I try to sell my crochet items at the farmers market. Other than those few hours I’m available to care for your babies needs. I’m trustworthy and clean. I will follow your wishes. I can crate your pet or sleep with it. I currently sleep with my chihuahua and my cat. I love to cuddle with them. My dogs are on a schedule for their medications so I would do the same for babies.
“Misty is a lifesaver, so happy we connected. She stayed at the house with my Malinois for 4 days and when I got home, my dog was happy and healthy, and the house looked like Misty wasn’t there (she cleaned, did laundry, and left no trace). The peace of mind is priceless and I recommend Misty.”

About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
“Super awesome and my dogs loved her. This was a last minute thing and Jenny had no problem working me into her schedule. She even took the time to straighten up the room she stayed in. Very impressed with her service.”

“Taylor was fantastic with the girls. They were walked daily and I found out our smallest even gets along with cats. Nice to know. We will definitely use her again when the need arises.”

“Titan was so sad when Cindy left. I got daily pictures and came home to a happy dog. Cindy even cleaned the sheets and towels she used. Top notch service and super friendly! Highly recommend Cindy and her husband!”

“Meghan was awesome! Our dogs loved her and her dog Raven!! Meghan was great at communication and sent us lots of pictures of our pups. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs :) Highly recommend!”
