Christine was very good with my dog. He’s busy and anxious at times. But she was kind and loving to him. She also was able to help last minute as another sitter backed out, causing a fuss- she was helpful and a lifesaver.

Payton was great with my energetic pup! He is not the easiest dog to wear out and every time I got home he seemed content and happy with the attention she gave him. Will definitely book her again next time i need someone to check in on him.

We have used Julianna for overnights, walks, and drop ins. She is always accommodating and stays with Bella as expected. Replies promptly to messages and is flexible to our requests or schedule. She will be our first choice in booking for any future needs.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young, when I became a teenager I started to help my mom take care of animals and staying for a few days at the homeowners houses. Also, on the weekends I dog and cat sat for my friend and her family at there house ranging from 2 days to a few weeks. I am a college student, so I usually have classes in the morning and the rest of the day free. I might have a few shifts at my job that keeps me occupied for 5-7 hours a couple of times a week. I play with them a few hours and take them outside every 4-8 hours. I like to take dogs on walks, and I clean the litter every 2-3 days.

About: I have 2 dogs! I have a French Bulldog and English Bulldog! I have a Frenchie who is very active and then our English bulldog who is very lazy and loves to sleep-he’s getting up there in age so can be cranky every so often! I can work from home if your pup needs more care otherwise, I make my own schedule so I can accommodate anything you would need! I love going for walks, and I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for the doggies to run around off a leash! I currently own my own company. I can do drop in for visits throughout the day as needed. I don't have a set schedule so I can easily work with others schedules. I can go home or to other locations as needed throughout the day! I have a fenced in backyard the dogs can run in if I am boarding them, so no need to worry about them running off. I have 2 other dogs to keep your pup entertained while your away. My dogs are gated in our laundry room while I am away and when we go to bed at night, so they do not free roam. I can accommodate crating or not crating your pup. Totally up to the dog's owner which can be discussed!

Abby was fantastic with our cat Bauer, he loved her. She did drop in visits for a week while we were on vacation. He’s an apartment cat that is more like a dog. He needs that daily socialization (more than we can do with our cat laser camera) and he likes to be able to go out on the screened patio for outdoor/bird watching time. Definitely our future cat sitter

Steph is such a doll! She made time in her busy Christmas schedule to stop by and let the dogs out and feed them. It was great to not have to worry about them while we were gone. The dogs loved her, as usual. I could tell by all the smiley faces in the pictures she took!

About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.

Kaylee did an excellent job caring for my kitties, Hank and Abbey. She was very detailed and thorough in her updates, sent lots of pictures, and they were very well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Kaylee to anyone, and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

About: I grew up on a farm with many farm animals along with many dogs and cats. As I got older I worked for dog a dog training company and my love for animals has grown immensely! I currently have a fish named Blueberry but would love to be out in the community to be able to help you and your family with dog or cat sitting. I am currently a college student I have classes for a couple hours a day and my weekends are free so I’m here to help. I currently like in an apartment that I can not have pets in so I can help take care of your pets in your home. I can go for walks or play with them for a while I know animals like a schedule so I’d like to make sure that your animals feel safe and happy.

About: I grew up having dogs and we have been a dog family for the last 6 years. We have a black lab pitty mix. I am familiar with all types of breeds and our Mocha has some reactivity to other dogs and is an escape artist so I know how important it is to follow directions and keep pups safe. I work 4-5 days a week but I am done by 4:30 and could do an early morning or late afternoon drop in or spend the evenings at your home. I can only offer services in your home. Mocha is a spoiled “only” dog but I am more than happy to come to your home and spoil your pooch!
