“She is a wonderful sitter. We left our kittens for around 2weeks and she often sent us pictures which really made us happy. They appear to enjoy their stay with her. Thank you so much!”
“Becky was wonderful! She and her two girls were the perfect match and companions for our pups while we were on vacation. We will most definitely call on her again when we need someone to care for them. Everything we could have asked for and more ❤️”
“Missy clearly had a wonderful time playing with the big dogs. Also, Jennifer figured out a way to keep a red flower on Missy without her trying to take it off which is a miracle in itself.”
“Sarah is very good with animals. She has both dogs and cats at her home, but the cats have their own room. Thus, if your animal is not a fan of cats, there is no need to be concerned. dogs were happy to stay there, and they had a great time playing with her dogs. We will definitely use her again because she is closer than our other dog sitter, and our dogs are happy!”
“Annie was great! For the first time returning from a trip, our dog, Roxy wasn't that excited to see us lol!! Annie did all the things that Roxy loves like to do like swimming, playing fetch and hanging with an adult. Annie even got Ro,y to socialize with a couple dogs which is incredible considering that Roxy is a shephard and not fond of other dogs. Annie was awesome! Great communication and doggie skills!”
“Heidi is wonderful! She took great care of Oakley while we were on vacation. Her home is beautiful and Oakley loved going on walks and watching animals in her yard. Heidi sent pictures everyday and communicated well with us. She even agreed to extending his stay for an extra day so I could spend it helping with a sick family member. We couldn’t have asked for better care!”
“Everything worked out just fine! Macchi is her happy energetic self and I'm glad to have her back! Thank you so much for utilizing the instructions left for her. It's often difficult to find someone who will follow them. We would totally stay again!”
“Aleisha was amazing with our 1 year old pup. As a rescue he does have anxiety being left alone and she handled him beautifully! The pictures throughout his stay really helped to ease my mind as I had never parted with my dog before for any amount of time! She made it a very easy transition and worked with my same day notice! Couldn’t of had a better experience!”
About: I pride myself in making sure your pet gets the enrichment they need. As well as creating a comfortable environment for them. They will get all their walkies, and treats! I usually am up by 8am. First things I do is make sure my animals are fed and they can get their days started. Then I clean around to make sure I change toy placements to create more stimulation. I make sure my animals are first in my daily routine. I usually get started with my day after I make sure they are okay. I let my cats wonder through out the house. I avoid leaving the bathrooms open, but they do have bathroom times when humans are in there. For whatever reason they think I am going to fall into the toilet, and or a shower monster is out to get me. I also have some outside time for my cats, with leashes. If any of my dog friends come over, I have a fenced in yard for them to roam around in, as well as living around friendly trails to walk on.
“Great experience with Renae and her husband. My dogs were well taken care of and welcomed into the home like they were part of the family. Communication and pictures were great, no complaints.”
“Dixie seemed to feel right at home from the very beginning. I also liked the pictures after a few days of being there. She was happy and that made us happy! Will definitely use Jessica next time! Thank you so much!!”
“John was great with our dog. He was great about sending pictures and letting us know how he was doing. Will definitely book with him again in the future 😁”
“River had a great time with Michelle and her dogs. She updated us regularly and was very flexible and accommodating.”

Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. if your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!
“Stephanie was great. Our puppy loved her”
About: Ever since i was little i had at least 3 cats inside not counting outside and 2 dogs. i’ve always adored being around all types of animals and giving them a good home, many of my family memebers have relied on me when out of town to walk, play, bathe, feed etc with their dogs while they’re gone ! and have had my own dogs and cats for about 4 years now. At this time i do not have a job i’m a stay at home girlfriend! so i have plenty of time all morning and night to care for your babies! i love being around animals it’s what i wanna do every day of the week. i do not have a fenced yard but i have a very big yard and a very long chain! they have plenty of room to run and have fun outside. i have two dogs and one cat myself. my dogs go out about 4/5 times a day and we play for about a hour or two each day also. i have two crates. and i also have a secluded room if needed.
“Kourtni was wonderful and very communicative! When I asked her for pictures/updates, she gave them to me. She answered all of my questions and I think it's safe to say Dodge had a good time! Will definitely have her watch Dodge again!”
About: There have always been dogs in my family: huskies and a pug. We currently do not have a pet and our family would be happy to accept your dog and give it love and care. I am not working at the moment and will be happy to pay a lot of attention to your pet. You'll see, he'll like it! We live on a farm and it's a great place to move, play and walk. Fresh air, nearby there is a lake and a river.
About: When your fur babies are in my care I will love and care for them like they are my own! I have cared for many types of animals -all different sizes and ages- for almost my entire life. I have taken care of special needs animals and ones with physical challenges, any extra care your pet might need will be taken seriously and at no extra charge. As a dog owner myself I know how scary it is to find someone to care for you pets while you're away, I guarantee that I will give your pet(s) the love and care they need and they will always be safe and very spoiled while in my care. Any questions or concerns you may have with the information I have given I will be more than happy to answer for you at any time! I am a stay at home mom to a 4 month old so my schedule is very flexible. I may have to bring my baby with me at certain times,if your animals do not do well with children that is not a deal breaker just let me know and I will figure it all out! It's very important to me to get as much information as possible on the pets and learning their needs to make sure they're safe and comfortable with me for our time together.
About: I have loved and have been owned by many animals for all of my 60 years. Caring for them is an honor I cherish greatly! I taught high school for almost 30 years at Concordia Lutheran High School and I’m now a social worker. I’ve absolutely adored my students and clients and would like to shower my love on your pet-angel(s) as well! As a social worker, I am usually able to create my own schedule on an as-needed basis for you…plus I usually have weekends free for ample time with your pet. I love to walk, play and give lots of love and attention so those will be incorporated frequently! I will treat your pet(s) and home with the utmost respect as I do my own. I will stay in frequent contact with you and will take pictures throughout the visit so you can be assured of my service and your pet’s well-being.

Alena S.
“Alena is absolutely a pet whisperer! She is such a gentle soul and big animal lover. She cared for our sweet 8-year-old poodle bichon multiple times and he absolutely loved her. She was very responsible and made sure to follow his meal schedule, took him on long walks outside, and of course gave him lots of cuddles and attention. She also pet sat and house sat for our friends and their cats many times and they were always extremely pleased with her help. We highly recommend Alena!”
Veronika K.
“I have known Veronika for a long time, she is such a sweet and caring person. Seeing her around animals you can just see the love she has for them. She has watched my dogs many times and has always shown them so much love and attention. I would recommend her to everyone.”
Michelle C.
“I've known Michelle for almost 9 years now. I have always found her so very fond of all animals. I've witnessed her love for dogs and cats personally during different get togethers. I'm not sure she could pass a beautiful dog without asking to pet her/him or want to give snuggles. A trusted caregiver in my book.”
