“Joshua and Kristen are always awesome. They take such good care of my dog as if she were one of theirs. I love the continual photos and updates they provide. I always feel so good/comfortable when they watch Lulu!!”
“First time leaving any of my dogs with a petsitter that I hadn't known beforehand! Jessica was wonderful and accommodating for my nervousness and my pups timid nature. I regularly got photos and videos of Razz having an absolute BLAST with Jessica and her dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again, and I know my pup had a wonderful experience.”
“Kalley was a fantastic pet sitter. She took such great care of my pup, and treated him as though he were one of their own. Highly, highly recommended if you are looking for a caring, positive environment for your pet while you are away. She sent pictures nearly every day with updates on how he was doing. Thank you Kalley! We will definitely reach out to you next time we have a need for pet sitting! ?”

These are some of the best photos I have of my puppy! I will definitely book you again and recommend you to outer pet owners.”
“Whitney is amazing! She was so sweet to our high energy dog, took her on lots of walks, spent lots of time outside with her, and even ran with her! We would use her again without hesitation!! Seeing fun pics of our puppy everyday while we were away was so reassuring that she was in great hands!! Thanks Whitney!!”
“All you need to know is that Angel’s ears perk up when we tell her she is going to stay with Scott and Sarah. They take very good care of her and ease the guilt of me being away because, to Angel, it’s a treat.”
“Mallory provided a warm, cozy, safe, and fun environment for my dog. She was easy to communicate with and flexible when my travel plans changed unexpectedly. It was reassuring to know that Dillon was in good hands, in a very dog friendly environment! Will book with Mallory again!”
About: I have helped my mom run a pet sitting business in high shcool! I’ve been around animals my whole life from small to giant size. I will run and play ball with your dog and am not afraid to get slobbery! I have a great sense and understanding of animal behavior. Also due to my job and college degree in psychology I am experienced and knowledgeable in ABA training. So I would love to assist in training appropriate behaviors in a puppy or an older dog with behavioral issues so that I myself can grow and learn as well as your dog. Animals are my passion and joy in life and I believe they will love me just as much as I’ll love them! I’m currently a home maker so I will be home full time with your pet and available all times of day for walks and visits. I have a 3 year old and an infant that will accompany during visits and walks. They are very gentle and friendly with pets as we have had many animals in their life. I have a fenced in yard but we also going on daily family walks. We have two dogs who are very friendly and two cats who typically stay hidden during the day.
About: 20+ years of pet care experience. In high school and college I worked as a vet tech, and at a boarding/daycare/grooming facility. I have also worked with livestock at numerous farms and horse boarding facilities. I now have 1 dog, 3 cats, and a horse of my own. I love building relationships with pets (those that want it) or giving space (for the more nervous and anxious ones). I pride myself on being able to accurately read each pet and knowing what they need. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule which makes pet sitting amazing! I am able to watch pets while you're away and keep them on whatever schedule best works for them. I'm also available for mid-day let-outs and walks! I make sure each pet is comfortable around me. If they are happy, energetic pets- I make sure to help them get their energy out so they look forward to seeing me! If they're more reserved and nervous, I make sure to go slow so they do not see me as a threat and I do not try and cloud their space, while also reassuring them I am a safe person.
“Ruth is an amazing lover of doggy fur babies. Her resident dog, Thor, is best buddies with my dog and knowing that my dog is going to have so much fun when he’s not with me makes me relax. Ruth communicates very well and I never worry about my dog when he’s with her. She’s a true blessing!”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Jocelin and Christian provided for my Kylo. I was so nervous to board him for a whole week, but I seriously think he had an even better vacation than I did! Jocelin sent me so many pictures, videos, and was so active with him! She truly treats the dogs in her care as if they were her own family and I would recommend her to anybody. Kylo is looking forward to the next time he gets to see you and thank you again for taking such great care of our pup! 🐕🦺🩷”
“Katelyn was amazing. Very attentive. Reached out to us everyday with pictures and videos. Great communication throughout the whole visit. Our dogs loved her. Very easy to work with.

Devon R.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Devon R. for any dog walking or pet care needs. She has a natural way with animals—gentle, patient, and genuinely caring. Our dogs, Sadie & Lucy, who can be a bit shy around new people, immediately felt comfortable with Devon, and that speaks volumes! Devon is dependable, responsible, and always shows up on time. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended care, or last-minute help, I always know my pet is in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, look no further. I can’t recommend Devon R. enough! Sincerely, Jillian D.”
