“Lee was amazing, very patient and kind with our anxious dog and bunny. I would highly recommend Lee to anyone needing someone to watch their pets!”
About: I have always been extremely passionate about all animals - taking care of and nurturing them! I have had the pleasure to take care of many different animals over the years. I bottle fed several litters of kittens and raised them to adolescence before adopting out. I am also just as comfortable with dogs of all sizes! Animals have a keen sense of genuine intentions, so I would love the chance to meet your fur babies!! I currently have a full time job which I leave around 4pm. I am available weeknights for drop ins and play time - I can stay overnight if necessary. I’m also free on Saturdays and some Sundays. My number one goal is your pets’ happiness and contentment! However you see fit that I cater to your animals’ needs is exactly what I will do. I bring a loving and nurturing environment with me where I go and I can assure you they will be treated as my own.
“Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!”
“Professional and wonderful with my dog. Flexible with my schedule”
“Shauna is the best!”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I have always had a great bond with each one of them. As of right now I have a big golden doodle, and a little Aussie doodle, I love them both so much. My friends make fun of me because I baby them so much, I take them on car rides with me all the time and buy them ice cream cones every now and then. I promise to treat your dogs exactly how I treat mine! I’m currently unemployed, I’m about to go off to college in about a month so I’m just trying to find something to do in the meantime to keep me busy. I do play sports though so that does keep me busy but I can kind of move around when I want to practice or train so I should be pretty available. Well I take both of my dogs for walks often. I have a aussie doodle who is little, and a golden doodle who is huge, so no matter how big or small your dog is I can handle them.
About: I am 24 years old and have pet sat before back home. I am a preschool teacher right now but looking to make some extra money for my upcoming wedding. I have 2 dogs that live with me here and a dog and cat back home with my family! I have grown up with animals my whole life and pet sat for many family members and friends. I am an huge animal person so I would love to give service to anyone who needs it. I will do whatever needed to give your pets the best care possible while you’re away. I do anything such as walking, feeding, taking out for play time and just hanging around. I will make sure the dogs and cats I watch/pet sit for have everything they need and regularly make sure they are taken out and played with. I work a normal 8 hour job so I would be able to come in the mornings/after work and evenings/nights. I also have most weekends open so I would be able to Hangout with your pet all weekend! I would be able to play outside and run with your dog as often as needed to make sure they get the play time that they deserve!
“Gabriella was very invested in our cat’s wellbeing while we were gone and went above and beyond. She made sure he had company and got everything he needed. I really appreciated her time investment and transparent, picture-laden updates at every check-in. Definitely recommended to book her!”

I think we both will have a new best friend to enjoy throughout this journey !! Your baby is part of our family !

We have a 3200 sq ft 2 level home with a large unfenced yard. I have one friendly 8 year old female labradoodle, one very sweet, friendly, and energetic 1 year old newfoundland mix, and another very nonchalant 5 year old male cat. I also have a 8 year old son and a 2 year old son who both love and respect animals. Our home is a very comfortable space for any kid friendly animal to enjoy. We feed 2x a day, let them out to potty at least 4x a day-I will leash if necessary.

10. Brittany L.
“Brittany has been a reliable pet sitter for my wife and I for the last three years. We were referred to her by a close friend, who utilizes her services. Having tried three or four subpar sitters before, we were optimistic and very hopeful that we would finally obtain a good fit. Brittany did not disappoint. Our two fur babies mean the world to us, but can be a handful with strangers. Hamilton can be moody and nip at people and Gabriella is skittish and just shakes when nervous. Brittany almost instantly meshed with our two dogs. Hamilton has begun taking three medications in the last year, and Brittany has been on top of everything. The first two trips away I was cautiously concerned about them, but now I don't give it another thought. I almost feel like they don't even miss us when we return, because she spoils them rotten while we are away. Brittany is a top notch dog sitter and an even better human being. Our two pups like any dog, can sense when someone truly loves them and is gentle and kind. I can not recommend Brittany enough. I don't know how anyone could surpass her knowledge and genuine love for the dogs she chooses to care for.”
