Jeremiah was extremely responsive and easy going. I could tell by the pictures each day that our dogs warmed up to him quickly. He is patient and reliable and we look forward to working with him again in the future.

Alyssa has stayed with our 2 cats twice now and we are very happy with her! She took great care of the cats, gave them plenty of attention and love, and communicated with pictures throughout her stay. She was also very neat and left our house in great condition. We will definitely book her again if we need an in-home catsitter!

Once again Nick took amazing care of our home and dogs. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with this most important job. Nick is communicative, trustworthy, responsible and professional. As a repeat client, he feels like family now!

Bethanie was just perfect and so caring with my overly active puppy. I was able to get out and escape the puppy blues knowing my puppy was well cared for.

Kimberly did an exceptional job. The house was clean when we got home and better yet our babies were happy and healthy! This was our first dealing with Kimberly, but it certainly will not be our last. Thank you for photos, your attention to medications, etc. You live up to all your wonderful reviews and then some!

Lou was so wonderful with our pups and kitties. We've got a house of older pets that don't like to be on their own and she was so sweet with them even though they are slow to warm up - she didn't let that phase her. She was really proactive and in contact with me about the visit well before we left, and let me know about any concerns with the pets (our one pup doesn't like to eat much when we're gone but she worked out a system with her and in the end she was happily eating breakfast and dinner). She gave snuggles and walked our pups and I wasn't worried about our pets or house at all during this stay. Thanks so much Lou!

About: I enjoy taking care of a variety of pets, and have helped care for many over the years. I have experience from everything as small as hamsters up to horses. I currently have dogs, cats, ferrets, and a horse. Many friends and family have relied on me for advice or to care for their pets. I’m available most days any time after 8am for pet sitting or dog walks! I can also do multiple drop in visits throughout the day! Normally at home I feed the dogs dinner, my mother does breakfast! I also take them out for walks around the yard. In your home I would do whatever is asked, and clean up any messes made.

Gina was amazing! We had no idea how wonderful a sitter could be until we came across Gina. Not only did she take amazing care of our fur babies, but she also cared for us! Any concerns we may have had were addressed before we even had them. Her communication is top notch, we knew everything our dogs were up to as she provided frequent updates, photos and videos. I swear our dogs FINALLY learned how to play tug-o-war from her. I’m the 7 years we have had them they never grasped the concept until they spent time with Gina and her fabulous dog Sydney (who became fast friends with our dogs). Would recommend Gina 1000%!! Actually considering scheduling a trip just to get her back ❤️❤️

About: I have always loved all kinds of animals! I have been a dog groomer for 8 years and would love to watch your dogs in my home or yours! If you need your dog(s) groomed send me a message and I'll see what I can do! I have a pretty flexible schedule and my boy friend always comes home on his lunch break. I don't do much besides work and spend time with my own dogs so what's a few more friends! I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood where I can easily take the dogs for walks. I also live really close to the dog park as well.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely loved. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and comfort so every visit feels familiar and stress-free. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and the personal connection I build with each pet—your animals get real, focused care every single time. I’m currently a senior in high school, and have lots of free time after school! I’m available any time after 4pm during the week. On the weekends, I’m almost always available! Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I focus on making their routine feel as normal and comforting as possible. In my home, pets get a calm, clean, and safe space with plenty of attention, playtime, and downtime. When I’m caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special habits—so your pet stays comfortable in their own environment. No matter where the care happens, your pet gets gentle, reliable, and personalized attention every time.

This was only our second time leaving our puppy and Dawn was so warm and friendly. Brody warmed up to her right away and we didn’t worry a bit while gone! She sent pics while we were away too :)

Dawn stayed with my dog and my daughter’s dog while we were on a family vacation. Ollie and Teddy did very well with her. She sent us pictures every day of them, which we really appreciated. Ollie has pretty bad anxiety around storms and she handled his meds and other things we do to ease his anxiety very well! Thankful they were so well taken care of and were happy and healthy when we got home!
