“Jessica is nice & she is good with Dexter! Takes him for walks and everything. She worked during her stay, which we agreed to, but she was gone a little longer than I expected based on her work schedule. Otherwise, she was good with Dexter and left the house in good order when she left.”
“This is the second time Aida watched our two dogs and she provided the most excellent care again. Our rescue dog who is typically very scared of strangers has become so comfortable with her that we know we can leave them with her anytime and they will be so well cared for! We already have her booked again!”
“Zayda is a wonderful pet sitter. She stayed at my house and watched over my cat and 2 pups. She even brought one of her pups to play with the pack! They all love having her here.”
“Jenny put up with our ridiculous Frenchies and even collected eggs from the chickens each day. The house was in the shape we left it and she communicated each day with updates. Would recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and patience. I have taken care of dogs ranging from 2 years or to 17 years old. I have experience with older dog and having to clean up accidents as well. I currently have a full time job that I work from 8:30-5pm Monday-Thursday, 9-3 on Fridays. With early communication I am willing to make adjustments to accommodate if it makes sense. I would prefer to watch your pet in their environment. I think it helps them feel more comfortable with me and being in a space they know.
“This is the second time Denise stayed with Charley. We were gone a lot longer and I think was pretty confused and frustrated but Denise is pretty fantastic with him. As long as she is willing to take our monster, we'll have her do it every time. Hopefully he's a little better puppy next time.”
“10/10! How do I know Danielle is someone you want around your pets? We have a cat that has only ever liked 2 people, and now she likes 3. My daughter and I were both shocked when we got the picture of our cat on her lap. I also have a dog who suffers from separation issues and it takes him awhile to get back to normal. We returned home to happy animals who needed zero adjustment. With all of my animals taking so quickly to Danielle, there is no question about who we will have watch our fur babies in the future!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job coming to our home and watching our older chocolate lab, Coco and our 2 year old miniature dachshund, Max. She treated are furbabies as they were her own. A+! ?❤”
About: I provide a safe and comfortable environment pets, dogs deserve so much respect and love and I’m willing to give them so much attention! I also love the outdoors so I would love having a little walking partner. My dogs have been through training and therefore I am aware of the do’s and donts of proper training. I have ONE lab at home, she is a female 1 y/o lab. I currently work from home Wednesday - Friday. I work in the office Monday and Tuesday. This is subject to change week to week as my schedule varies. I use my back yard which has a leash hooked to the deck. Half of my yard is fenced in. I am open to using a shocker as well, we use one on our pup and strictly use the tone button which just sounds like a beep.
About: I have had my own dogs the last 18 years. I've had big and small dogs. I absolutely love all animals. My German shepherd was a special needs dog that was diagnosed with megaesophogus disease. She has since passed but we did everything to take care of her needs and keep her healthy and happy with that devastating diagnosis. I have had a black lab and a coonhound. I am willing to do anything and everything for dogs. I just absolutely love dogs. I currently have 3 dogs myself and they are my life so I understand how animals are a part of the family and each one is special. I have 2 young pups that I adopted and a beagle that is an old man.
“Scott was just awesome. The dogs were very receptive to him. He sent numerous pictures. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. My wife and I don't go on vacation very much because of our furry friends, but we may start to go more often now.”
“Joanna was a perfect fit for our situation! She came over to meet us and our dog and spent time really getting to know him. She took great care of him and was able to manage the household as well! We are so thankful for her care!”
“Taylen did a phenomenal job! Not only was she punctual for our meet up, but she was also very personable and it was clear that she cares about animals. We have a very elderly dog that requires a lot of extra support but Taylen was willing to help with all that was needed to care for our sweet girl in our absence. We received updates throughout our trip and knew she was in good care - we’d definitely book with Taylen again!”
About: I grew up in an animal loving family and now want to offer my services to other animal lovers! We have had many foster dogs and puppies. I have gone through the potty/leash training phase many times. I also have experience with farm animals as well as kitties! Typically I walk our dogs every other day. I have a fenced yard for playtime and potty breaks during the day. I am going back to school in the Fall and will have a much more flexible schedule during the week and weekends. In our home, the dogs are allowed on the furniture. They sleep in the bed, but our female is crated during the day as she has liked to chew on more than toys in the past. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My fiancé lives with me, but it would be just me that is in care of the animals.
About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info should all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

“I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough for anyone looking for exceptional dog care! She has a true passion for animals and treats every dog as if they were her own. Her love for dogs shines through in the way she cares for them — with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Beyond her obvious affection for animals, Tessa is incredibly responsible, reliable, and professional. Whether you're looking for a regular walker, a sitter for a weekend away, or someone to give your dog a little extra love and attention, you can absolutely trust her to go above and beyond. Your dog will be in the best hands!”
