“June was very flexible with scheduling and it was clear she loves animals. Kenai adored her. I was given daily updates and photos. She was wonderful, I would book with her again!”


“Ellie was above and beyond. She was a very respectful and caring sitter. Our dog doesn’t do well with change and had some trouble eating while we were away and she was very kind and patient in getting her to eat. She took her on lots of walks and played with her often. I know she had a good time while we were gone and we felt very comfortable that she took the best care of our beloved girl. Ellie is very reliable and I highly recommend her!”


“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”



“Myrna did a great job with my nervous dog, Annie while I was gone for a few days. When I got home Annie was happy, the house was clean and everything was in order. I’m glad that Myrna was there to handle some other things that came up while I was gone. I am definitely using her again. Thank you Myrna!”


“I was so lucky to have found Nicole to housesit for my furry family. It’s so important to me to find someone that has very calm and positive energy and I think I hit the jackpot with Nicole. She was able to do a meet and greet prior to my trip so that she could meet the “kids” and I could show her around. On the day of my trip, she came a few minutes early so everyone knew she was supposed to be there. That is always my preferred way to leave as I think it provides the two dogs a bit of acceptance of my departure. Throughout the stay, Nicole sent great updates and I felt very at ease that everyone was in good hands. Upon return, my house was just as clean as when I left, my fur babies were happy and I was completely satisfied that everyone was well taken care of. I can’t recommend Nicole enough. Don’t hesitate to book her if you get the chance.”


“Allie did a great job watching Sampson. She was very responsive and communicated well while we were gone. We came home to a very happy dog and the house is clean or cleaner than when we left it. Will definitely hire her again.”


“Heather was so helpful during an emergency situation where my last sitter canceled the day I left before an international trip. Heather was patient, communicative, and even went to the store to get more food when an unexpected rodent problem left Terra without enough for the week. My home was clean and ready for me to arrive which was such a relief after such a stressful situation. I would definitely have Heather back. Thank you so much!”


“Lynn followed our directions for our senior pup’s care well and our Charlie seemed content upon our arrival back at home :) He was well taken care of and we received some updates during her stay. Everything went smoothly!”


“Shayla was wonderful! I reached out on very short notice when my other sitter fell through. We had a meet and greet and the very next day I left for my trip. She was very attentive to Manny who was currently taking meds fighting a cough. I got constant updates and returned home to a very happy pup. We look forward to seeing Shayla again!”


“Shayla was a wonderful communicator and incredibly patient and persistent with Ruthie. It was Ruthie's first time home with someone other than family and she can be a tough nut to crack. Shayla was positive all the way through and eventually, the two were cozy and secure. Shayla sent regular updates and I felt confident that my little girl was in good hands. We will be booking Shayla again for drop in and a home stay soon.”


“Outstanding provider. She communicated clearly with us throughout our time away, gave us regular updates and pictures, and respectfully left the house the way she found it. And best of all... the dogs were happy! I would highly recommend Carin!”


“Erin was great with Lily and Willow while we were away. She accommodated our unexpected travel schedule and checked in to give us comfort while gone. Willow hads allergy-related paw issues and she addressed them as instructed and also noted how it progressed or lessened. Both our girls loved her and we'd have her back in a heartbeat. She watched them in our home, and the house was tidy and well cared for. Thank you, Erin!”


“Michael did a wonderful job watching over our animals. He stayed at our place and housesat as well as watered our thirsty plants. His young daughter stayed here too to help watch and play with the pups too. Five stars!!”


About: I grew up on a farm with every kind of pet from dogs and cats to reptiles and horses. My friends often ask for help with training, care and feeding and I have raised multiple cats and dogs from puppy/kitten-hood, to adulthood. My friends and family often call me the dog whisperer because I can coax timid dogs to my hand and work well with pets who have anxiety. I have a full time job but I’m available before and after work as well as lunch time if near my workplace and on weekends. I’m an avid runner/walker and enjoy long trips around the neighborhood. I also recently lost my 15 year old Scottish Terrier to old age, so I’m responsive to the needs of dogs throughout their lifespan. I’ve lived with cats from Siamese to tabby and understand the quirks of the breeds.

“Erica watched our two “Velcro” Frenchies for several days and is fantastic! She communicated with us to let us know how things were going daily and was very respectful while staying in our home. I would definitely recommend her to babysit your pet!”


About: I have a pretty flexible schedule, and have experience with all sorts of animals and as long as you teach me I'm fine with pets who need meds, or have special diets. I have 2 dogs at home, and 1 cat and i have experience with other animals too. I am licensed so transportation isn't an issue. I'm just trying to earn a little extra cash while going to school, and I love animals so being able to spend time with pets makes me happy. I am 23 years old. I do school online and work from home, so schedule is pretty flexible! Only times I’m gone is for about a 3 hour period student teaching. I try to treat them as my own, I’m a big animal lover so I’ll do everything in my capacity to make sure your pet is loved and comfortable while your away.
