“Allison was a great pet sitter. She was punctual and always stayed the entire visit interacting with my dog. She had plenty of outdoor time at every visit and the pictures showed that she was happy. Highly recommend Allison.”
“Angela took great care of my elderly cat & noted that her medication was given each day. She sent daily photos & gave a description of her behavior and interaction. Would definitely rebook when needed.”

“Jennifer is a wonderful and reliant pet sitter. Great communicator, follow up, kind and caring. Our two kitties just love when she stops by to visit. We feel very comfortable knowing they are in good hands.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had loving but sassy golden retriever, she was so nurturing and maternal we nicknamed her Nanny Girl. She always groomed and watched over us kids but also our cats lol! I then was blessed to spend 12 wonderfully sweet years with my black lab. He was such a spunky, funny pup and grew into the sweetest, most gentle little old man. I miss him terribly, but I am not quite ready to get another dog. I frequently dog/cat sit for family and friends and I still have boxes of toys left for your pup to play with. I remember the stress and worry of leaving your fur baby behind and in the care of someone else when going on vacation. I can promise you that I will love and spoil your fur baby as if they were my own. I work from home full time so I will be with your dog all day (with the exception of a possible quick errand). I can accommodate any needs that your dog has. If they are high energy I am very familiar with lots of parks, trails and dog parks in the area to run and play and get all that energy out. If they have slowed down a bit I have a comfy couch and lots of blankets to snuggle up with and toys to play at their pace with. I work remotely, so I am able to be with your pet all day. We can go out for walks frequently or if medication needs to be administered throughout the day I am available to do that. I am very clean and am overly cautious when taking pups outside. I always make sure they are on their leash securely and stay alert for things going on around us.
“Time & time again I am always so happy with Abby’s care!! The litter scooper happened to break while I was gone and I was surprised with a replacement for free. Abby is THE BEST!!!”
“Lily has helped us out three times now and we can’t say enough good things! She’s great with both of our dogs, takes tons of pictures, and is always letting us know how things are going throughout our trip! Lily is AMAZING!”
“Shelby is very kind and I’m very confident and glad my cats are well cared for when I’m gone. I will book Shelby as often as I can. She’s already part of the family!”
“Lindsey was wonderful! Did she take care of my sometimes ornery cat, but she even washed the food dishes each day. It's always talk to trust a stranger to watch your pet but I would have no problem with Lindsey taking care of my cat Tano!”
“We are overjoyed with our choice to go with Samantha to care for our pups as we went out of town. She was kind, professional, and made me feel at ease leaving them with someone else to care for them. I would highly recommend her, and we will definitely be calling her up the next time we are in need! 11 out of 10.”
About: Lifelong dog lover with a caring heart and energetic lifestyle. Reliable, friendly, and available for midday walks or drop-ins. Your pup’s joy comes first, always! Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily life. I’m home with my young son during the day, so I build in time for dog walks and cat visits between 10am and 3pm — it’s become a calming, purposeful part of my routine. Whether it’s a midday walk or a quiet check-in with a shy cat, I really value the chance to connect with animals and offer them comfort and care while their people are away. It’s not just a side gig — it’s something that brings me joy and balance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their personality, needs, and routines so they feel secure and cared for, whether we’re out for a walk or I’m visiting your home. I treat every animal with the same attention and respect I’d want for my own. You can count on clear communication, dependable care, and a calm, positive presence. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet — and I don’t take that lightly.
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. I love dogs and give mine the loving attention they deserve. You can rest assured your dog will receive the same love, attention, and proper care/treatment. I'm a teacher currently not working in the summer...so I can help out anytime you need it. Once the school year starts, my hours will change, but for now, I'm here to help! I have a big, fenced backyard. I have crates available if needed. You can trust that your dog's safety and positive environment will be my top priority.
About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.
About: I've taken care of dogs everywhere from letting them out, spending time with them so they're not alone, picking up their poop, and everything in between for years. I've had multiple clients for 5+ years and am still their primary caregiver for all basic dog needs. I have a mini golden doodle of my own that I love with all my heart. I promise to do everything just the way you want it whenever you need it. I'm always here whenever you need! I take care of 3 dogs for 2 separate families every day constantly. I have college classes but I make sure I can always get to them whenever I need to be there. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will not skip out on you if I say I'll be there. I love dogs and will always find the time to help assist whenever you need. In my home, I don't have a fence, but I've trained my 6 year old dog where he can and cannot go. If I were taking care of your dog, I would listen to whatever instruction you give me when letting your dog out to play or use the bathroom. I will not disobey the instructions and will do exactly as I'm asked to give the best care for your dog.

Bonnie S.
“Bonnie watched our very energetic, 6 month old, puppy for 10 days last summer. She took such good care of her, walked her twice a day, played with her in the yard, snuggled - as much as you can with a puppy with those sharp teeth:) and basically was a great dog mom while we were gone. Bonnie is a very happy and kind person which carried over to her care of our puppy. I observed her being gentle but firm when interacting with our puppy as well as my daughter's dog and could see that she genuinely loves animals. Upon our return I could tell our puppy missed all the love and attention she was given. Bonnie spent a lot of time with our puppy and took great care of her. I would highly recommend her to be your dog's caregiver!”

Taylor F.
“From the moment I met Taylor, I could tell she was a devoted animal lover. When we met she was raising three dogs, all rescues and all from broken homes. I watched her nurse them back to physical and emotional health within months of being in her care. She went above and beyond for her animals. In fact, she was a part of the Flint water crisis and I remember she made sure to stash a few cases of bottled water just for her animals. To this day, she still loves and cares for every animal she meets. She’ll always go above and beyond to make sure they get the proper care to live a happy and healthy life.”
Michael L.
“Michael owns two dogs. They are both around age four. He has raised one from a puppy and the other he rescued from Leader Dogs for the Blind. His teaching career and his dogs are his main focus in life. His dogs adore him. He has a dog proof home with a very nice fenced in back yard. He walks his dogs four times per day even during the school year. Anyone can see his devotion to his pets. I cannot recommend any other person that, in my opinion, would take better care of your dog. His dogs are super friendly and know how to act around other people and their pets. Your dog would be in loving, competent hands with Michael. And you will receive texts and pictures from him if you desire.”
Mary S.
“I’ve been friends with Mary for over two years. Every animal we come by she’s automatically the first person to pet them and make baby noises at them. She’s dog sat my own family puppy a couple of times. She’s one of the most responsible people that I know. Anyone would be lucky to have her look after their furry family.”

“Excellent service!”
Jackson T.
“Jackson is a top notch individual - he is incredibly reliable, follows up, and always goes above and beyond. He has house sat for us for years with our two dogs and they just adore him. He treats every animal like they are his. Great guy, can’t recommend enough! Thank you, Jackson!”
Katy & Luke C.
“Very pleased with how well Katy and Luke care for my animals! Great communication. I highly recommend them!!”
