1. Tori M.

“Five stars all the way. She takes extremely good care of our cats and always goes above and beyond. Two of our cats take medication and Tori handles it like a pro. Always sends lots of photos and info and completely puts our mind at ease when we are away. Cannot recommend her enough!”


2. Katelyn H.

“Katie took great care of my guinea pigs! Even when there was a small health problem, she handled it perfectly and I felt so much less nervous knowing she was taking care of them.”


3. Mickayla B.


“Mikayla was wonderful with the scheduled drop ins for our pets. She made sure they were cared for while we were away. Highly recommend her for anyone’s pets.”


4. Amber J.
“Amber was great! We had her do drop ins for 3 dogs. She communicated well, took lots of pictures, and my dogs seemed much better when we got home than they do when we board them. I would highly recommend and will book with her again!”


5. Halle G.
“It's obvious that Halle has always had a natural connection with animals and truly loves them as her own. Even with animals that can be a bit shy around new people, she quickly wins their trust with patience and affection. While away, Halle keeps me updated with daily photos and messages, which gives me so much peace of mind. Her attention to detail, from walks and feeding schedules to playtime, is fantastic! My animals are happy and well-cared for when I return. I highly recommend Halle to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and responsible pet caregiver.”

About: I have taken care of chihuahua’s to Pitbulls and have had dogs since I was a child. I have boarded dogs and regularly do house visits to let dogs out to potty during the work week. I am experienced in understanding dog behavior and communication patterns. I work from home 5 days a week and care for my own 2 dogs that get to spend time outside in our backyard every few hours. I have a large fenced backyard and have experience with animal care. The dogs will spend a majority of their time indoors, but frequently have supervised outside play time in the backyard (weather permitting). Dog walks can also be provided at no addition cost. At night, I have a large kennel inside they can sleep in with blankets. Daily pictures and status updates can be sent as well if desired. Pets toys are welcome if you would like to bring your own. To ensure a low stress transition owners are welcome to set up a meet and greet prior to booking. All dogs will be introduced one at a time with any other animals and be able to take a private house tour.


12. Karen F.

“Not only is Karen a friend to our sweet little pug Aubie, but she's a great friend to us personally! When we first met her just 7 months ago, we saw her love for animals instantly. She's sweet, caring, attentive, everything you would hope for in someone who is watching or dropping into take care of your pets.”


13. Natalie S.

“Natalie kept us informed of how our dog Yummy is doing through messaging with photos. She was a pleasant person to deal with and very accommodating. Highly recommended and I would definitely use her service in the future.”


14. Russ F.
“I am writing to you regarding Russ. I have known Russ personally for over fifteen years, and have always known him to be an organized, responsible, loyal, supportive, and easy going individual. Being the son of a veterinarian, and growing up around all types of animals, I believe that his skills and experience make him an excellent candidate. Russ is an intelligent and motivated individual. During the time I have known him, Russ has been hard working and highly committed to his family, career, and education. Because of his drive to succeed and proven abilities, many have shared with me their appreciation of Russ' pleasant, encouraging attitude. For said reasons, I am sure that Russ will continue to succeed in his future endeavors.”

About: Hi there! My name is Elly, and I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life, developing a deep understanding and love for all kinds of dogs. Over the years, I’ve had the rewarding experience of raising and training my own reactive dog, successfully socializing her through patience and consistent, positive reinforcement techniques. Over the years I have raised puppies of different breeds. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I can offer personalized dog walking and drop-in visits that cater to your dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs that need a little extra help with leash training, as well as those who may be reactive or have specific behavioral needs. Whether your dog needs some extra training on their walks or just a friendly, experienced companion to spend time with, I’m here to help make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while providing you with peace of mind. Let me know how I can help support you and your furry baby! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I work 9:00am - 6:00pm and I am able to block my schedule as needed. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to care for your fur baby in my home but I may offer this service in the future.

About: I have had dogs since I was tiny. My neighbor/mentor called me an animal whisperer as a teenager and still brags about me to this day. 🥰👌 I breed, train, and board dogs for a living and try to keep an open schedule so I can be available when needed. My schedule is open so I am available most days. Though I am available on short notice often, I doo prefer as much notice as possible. I am available for inhome care within a 25 mile radius of my home. I am also available for care in my home. I work from home and love in the country.
