“We reached out to them at the last minute to watch our mini goldendoodle and they responded back quickly and were able to board him that night. They did a great job, and keep us updated on how our dog was doing with pictures and texts. They did an excellent job.”
“Love Donna!! Macks was great and had so much fun. We got pictures of him while we were on our trip and it made us know he was being well taken care of. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Melody was great with Bucky. She is great with him and very flexible on pick up and drop off time. She sent me pictures of him during his stay. Overall a great sitter, and I would highly recommend.”
“Ashley and her daughters were wonderful!! My dog just stayed the one night and we where driving thru town. It was great to know he was well taken care of and not cooped up in a hotel room! Thank you so much!”
“There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Lori and Matt are. I’ve never felt so comfortable leaving my little old lady Chihuahua while I go on vacation. Matt and Lori made her feel right at home and sent daily updates and pictures to me. I will absolutely be using them in the future.”
About: I’m attentive and patient. I treat every pet like my own. I’m active, reliable and always make sure the pets are loved and cared for. Pet care fits into my routine because I love being active and being outdoors. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can easily prioritize walks and check-ins throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space by keeping it clean. I follow all instructions closely, maintain the pet’s routine and make sure they are well taken care of.
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She was attentive, caring, and sent regular updates and pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup felt right at home with her, and we couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone reliable and compassionate - just please don’t book her on dates that we need her 😂”
“Thank you so much for being extremely flexible last minute! Whiskey definitely had a great time, and enjoyed playing with you and the new friends!! I appreciate it so much!!”
About: My pet care experience is from having pets of my own up until recently. I have also taken care of family and friend’s pet’s both in my own home and theirs. Our dog Hank recently passed away and we are lost without him. I am not quite ready to take that next step of getting a new dog but I have lots of loves and nose boops to share with your pet. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so I would be home with your pet all day on those days. Tuesday-Wednesday I do work in an office but my husband would be home all day with your pet. I do have a fenced in yard and live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood where we would take walks. I am also close to a dog park.
“Leah was so great with our doggy! Definitely will ask her to sit again! Awesome feedback and really made our anxious dog feel at ease. Thank you!”
About: I have worked three years at a local humane society and grew up on a farm taking care of all kinds of animals. I have pet sat before for family and friends. I absolutely love animals! I currently work with animals full time but am home evenings and weekends. I have 4 cats in my house that get along with everyone. I do not have a fenced in yard but love to take dogs on walks/runs. Depending on size, they can be allowed on furniture. I love taking pet photos so you’ll definitely get some while they’re cared for.
About: I've been taking care of pets for years! Family, friends, etc have relied on me to take great care of their animals and provide safety first! Ive bathed, walked, trained, fed, cuddled, you name it! Now that I have my own pets, I've gained even more experience and have made top quality care an even bigger priority! I always plan ahead to have open availability when committing to a booking, so I will be able to give all my attention to your babies! I always provide safety first for both me and your pet as well. I'm punctual and very reliable, so that is never an issue with me!
