“Savannah did great with my three pups! Kept the whole house clean and sent regular pictures and updates of them all. She strayed later than planned when I was running late so they didn’t have to be alone for too long. Great overall experience and would recommend her to be your next dog sitter!”


“Kinzley did a great job taking care of Missy while I was gone. Would definitely use her again. Sent pictures and let me know how things were going.”


“We were extremely happy with Glory! She defintely exceeded our expectations and came within a very short notice. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her. Our dog bonded with her immediately.”


“Marnie was great! Bear got along well with her, she sent us photos and gave us updates while we were away, and when she was leaving Bear was wagging his tail and cuddling. We'll use her again if we need another sitter! :)”


“She was great with our dog! So informative and went above and beyond to care for him. Sending pictures each visit was icing on the cake to ensure he was well taken care of.”


“Hailee was AMAZING!! Ryker took to her right away like he had known her his whole life. He did great while we were gone. We were worried he wouldn't eat well and be sad (he lost his companion a few months ago) but he did so good and ate well. I think it's because Hailee has a way with animals, I think they are drawn to her ❤️. We will definitely use Hailee in the future!”


“Tee-Tee was the best dog sitter! She took excellent care of Coco and our home. She provided lots of updates, pics and videos. I’m so grateful to come home to a happy dog!”


About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors and pups with special needs, and I’m great at reading body language to make sure every pet feels at ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just keeping their routine steady, I bring patience, reliability, and a whole lot of heart to every visit. I graduated this May and currently hold a part-time position, so my schedule will be fairly open this summer to give your pup the time and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and positive reinforcement to keep them happy and relaxed. I prioritize clear communication with the pet owner to make sure I’m meeting all their needs and providing the best care possible.

“Ashley did amazing with our two dogs. She even paid attention to our GSP whose ears bother him from time to time. We didn’t mention it to her and she noticed…how thoughtful!! Both our dogs are energetic and she did great keeping them happy and feed. She stayed a bit longer on the last day just to make sure they were feed before she left. We appreciate her attention to detail, keeping the house tidy, and our pets happy!!! We will have her back!!!”


About: I am passionate about animal care. I love to clean and make sure everyone in the home is as happy as can be. I will treat your pet like a member of my family. I work part time at the post office on Sundays and Holidays and part time at a moving company. My schedule can be very flexible. I like to respect the animals space and not be disrespectful to a stranger in their space. Some animals can be more anxious or have certain needs of care that I’m happy to provide.

About: I have had at least one dog in my home since I was born. I currently have a puppy and he is a blast. I love going on walks, playing at the park, or even taking pups for a swim. I have also working in a boarding facility and in large group play classes. I currently work part time and I am home every night by 5 pm. I come home on all of my breaks to check on my animals daily. Animals would never be alone for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time. I have a very friendly puppy that loves making new friends and I have 3 cats that love to play. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have leads in the yard to allow dogs time to play outside, as well as extra harnesses and leashes to walk then every 2 to 4 hours. I do not like walking without a harness for the animlad safety and mine, I do have extra harnesses if needed.

About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!

“Absolutely wonderful she loves your baby like it was hers. I highly recommend Emily was polite I had that feeling the first time you leave your baby with someone but she sent daily pictures and notes relaxed me right away. She is WOW!!!!!”

“Alaina is amazing- responsible, kind, punctual, clean, communicative, understanding, flexible, the list goes on. She asked insightful, preemptive, questions instilling confidence from the get go. She communicated well throughout, providing me with peace of mind. Fritz loved his time with her! Cherry on top, she was beyond courteous of my home, leaving it cleaner than how she found it. She has all of my highest praise and recommendations!”


“Maegan was very attentive and communicative, and both Stella and Callie were happy and healthy when we returned. Bonus for last-minute holiday availability! We would definitely ask Maegan to sit for us again.”

About: Helped with pets since a child. I currently help take care of my cousins dog. Can help dogs sit, lay down, etc. I use to work at a juvenile home with juveniles. I am skilled in ways that allows me to always have an eye on the dog so they aren’t getting in to trouble! I currently help take care of my cousins dog I live with. I help walk, take him out, feed, play, and care for him. I help out him away at night in the kennel. It is currently my responsibility to help with my cousins dog at night when my she goes to work. By playing with them and teaching them right from wrong. Giving love and playing with them as well. I’d make sure to watch and always have an eye on them so they don’t cause havoc!

About: I've had multiple jobs now working with all sorts of different dogs! From puppies to elderly; crazy to lazy. Plus everything else in between. I've worked at a shelter, bathing dogs, and currently a doggy daycare, so I say I've got my far share of experience. I work full time at a doggy daycare, but I am more than capable to stop by before work, during my lunch break, and anytime after work. The 2 dogs that I have take multiple potty breaks throughout the day and get plenty of time to take in the fresh air and roll in the grass.

About: Like most grandkids, I spent a lot of my time growing up at my grandparents house. Therefore, I was a huge help with my grandparents dog breeding business. From birth all the way till their training certification I was there! I am currently a full time nursing student! However, 3/4 classes are online; so I would love to fill all that extra time with your fur babies! I do live in an apartment that does allow pets, however I do have to pay an extra monthly fee. Therefore, I am totally comfortable being at yours if need be!

Alex is still one of the people to this day that we contact if we need someone to help with our dogs. He takes good care of them and makes sure they get what they need whether that is a walk, food, or just simply to play. I would highly recommend him for anyones puppy needs.”
