“Kat is fantastic. She took great care of our two dogs and kept us informed of how they were doing with texts and pics. The pups had a great time. I think they’re a little disappointed to be back with us.😉”
“Hank had a great time with Emily! He was very happy while with her and did not seem to miss us very much. The pictures and updates Emily sent were very much appreciated! We will definitely use Emily again!!!”
“Elisse has been an incredible sitter for my pup, Rue! She kept me updated with photos and sweet little notes while I was away. This was her 2nd stay with Elisse, She was right at home.”
“Rae and David are great to work with. They took care of my dog and provided updates and pictures throughout the time when they watched her. They also inquired about a possible issue they had noticed with her. Communication was top-notch with only one glitch related to drop-off that was resolved quickly. They were able to work with my travel plans, which were up in the air for a time. I think my dog enjoyed her stay and the companionship. I will not hesitate using Rae and David again if they are available. I'm glad they happened to have availability when it was needed.”

“My dogs always have such a good time with Dianne that they don’t want to leave, literally! One of mine will run back inside and jump on Dianne‘s couch, begging to stay! Thanks again for taking excellent care of my pups!”
About: I have loved animals of all kinds and all sizes for my entire life, i grew up on a 40 acre working farm and i have also worked as a veterinarian technician and have over 20 years experience caring for Animals of all kinds-dogs, cats, peacocks, chickens, horses, goats, rabbits, ostriches, elk, deer, and more! Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Living on 5 peaceful acres in the country, I spend my days surrounded by pets—my own cats, dogs, and occasional farm animals. I build my schedule around giving each pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or simply cuddling on the couch, I make sure every animal’s needs are met consistently and lovingly. My experience as a veterinary technician taught me the importance of routine, observation, and compassionate care, which I bring to every pet I look after. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s part of my lifestyle and passion. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment on our quiet 5-acre country property, with plenty of space to explore under close supervision. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I closely monitor each animal’s behavior and health throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping their environment clean and safe while providing attentive, loving care. I follow all instructions carefully—whether feeding, administering medication, or handling special needs—to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly and promptly, providing updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring hands.
“Lyn was really kind and Bailey warmed up to her really quickly. That’s how I knew she would have a great time with Lyn. Lyn was reassuring and sent pictures of Bailey running around in her big backyard which is Bailey’s favorite thing to do. Overall great experience!”

“Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra”

In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medication to keeping favorite toys or beds in the right spot.
