“Kristin is the BEST!! Our 2 dogs loved her from the minute they met her. I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home for a week with Buster and Honey. She texted me several times a day and sent pictures too. She is very professional and was extremely respectful of our home. We will definitely have Kristin take care of Buster and Honey again!!”


About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴
“Kara is a wonderful sitter! She provided pictures and updates while we were away, giving us smiles knowing Ollie was being well taken care of. Our home was left clean and we will definitely book Kara again!”

“Amelia took great care of our dog Buddy while we were on a 2 week vacation! She met with us twice, once for a meet and greet and once for a house tour. She is a lovely girl. I would recommend her to anyone! Buddy misses her.”

About: Hello! my name is James and I love animals, specifically dogs. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I've been pet sitting for neighbors since I was 12, and my mom routinely has me take care of her two pups when she is out of town. I recently helped my girlfriend with a pet sitting job and I loved it, and the dog loved me, so that's what brought me here :) I'm currently in between jobs, so I am completely available. I will be out of town September 12th-15th, and this may change soon, but in the meantime time, feel free to reach out for any days needed! I make sure that the dog(s) are fed twice a day, or when requested by the owner, and I am always on top of making sure their water is clean and filled. I will also walk the dogs early in the morning, or later at night, as the pavement can get hot this time of year.
“We had a great experience with Kaylah house sitting our two senior dogs! We had a great vacation knowing that our furry friends were in great hands! We will definitely use Kaylah in the future to watch over our babies! Thank you Kaylah!”
“Taylor was absolutely incredible! She was very attentive and kind to all of my animals. She let me know every time she was there and sent me tons of photos which eased my anxiety of being away from them. She went above and beyond for them and me 💕”

About: I am highly experienced with leash walking and keeping animals take during walks. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets while away on vacation or far from home!
