“Julie was amazing with our two kitties! She was very helpful and willing to work with us on short notice. It made traveling to see my in-laws so much less stressful, and I knew my babies were okay when she sent pictures/updates. We will definitely be coming back to her in the future.”
“Nicole is amazing! I can’t stress enough how grateful I am for all that she did. She definitely goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is taken care of. Thank you for all you do!”
“Kate was amazing with Bailey, my golden retriever, providing drop in visits over the weekend. She fed and played with him and was great about sending photos throughout her time with him. I would ask her to watch Bailey again! Thanks so much Kate!”
“Zenia was great! Thank you for spending time with my cats while I was away and making sure they were taken care of. It was relieving knowing somebody was giving them the attention and care they deserve.”

About: Growing up my family has always had dogs from seniors to full litters of puppies. Hiking and exercise have always been vital in our dogs care. Dogs who are house trained are free to roam in and out of the house during the day with use of a dog door and fully fenced 6ft fence outside with 0.5 acres to run around. I take my dogs on walks everyday and would love to include yours as well! Weekends work best for me. Home during the day for the summer months so I have plenty of time to love on your pup. I have a large fenced yard with two dogs who love to be active and play well with others of all sizes both inside and outside as they want.
“Erin watched my two bunnies for me while I was struggling to find housing. She was so kind and did a great job with them. If I need to board them in the future, I'll likely use her.”
“Izzy was absolutely amazing. She has great communication skills and devotion to animals and their wellbeing. I received prompt updates on my cats and got pictures every time. I returned home after a week long trip to happy cats. 100% recommend and would use again.”
“Jared took excellent care of our dog, fish, and house while we were away! He went above and beyond when the wind took some branches down and made sure our pets had a clean home and yard to enjoy while we were on vacation! Thank you Jared! 🐶🐾”
About: I’m detail-oriented and naturally follow pet parents’ instructions carefully whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or walk routines. I’m also trained in dog grooming so I can groom your pup at your home if you need. I can walk, feed, bathe, brush, ✂️ and give them lots of love! I currently work part-time, around 4 hours a day on average. Outside of that, I’m flexible and available for morning, afternoon, evening, or even overnight visits. I just ask for bookings at least 2–3 days in advance so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions carefully. I treat their space with respect keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while maintaining their usual habits and environment.
About: I love all animals and have spent a lot of time learning how to adapt to the different needs of each animal that I watch. I am currently working full time so I can watch your animal in the mornings and afternoons - and can leave work on my lunch to take them out if needed! Weekends are typically completely free, so I can be there for them all day! When I am in a client's home, I respect how they want their animals to be taken care of! I want to make sure that their animal is taken care of in their comfort and am careful to follow all of the directions that are given to me to ensure that their pet is safe. It takes a lot of trust to leave your animal with someone and I want to make sure that I can create that safe environment!
“This was my first time leaving my cats away for so long and Becky gave me peace of mind that my cats were ok while I was gone. She came in daily to give my cat her medicine. I appreciated the daily check-ins and updates. I can tell my grumpy cat took a liking to her. I would definitely ask for Becky's help again if I need to be away again.”
“Laura was amazing with our two cats and six chickens! She was extremely thoughtful and caring. I had a family emergency and Laura helped make a super stressful situation a little less stressful. Thank you, Laura 💕”

Rachael H.
“Rachael is so great with dogs! I have a puppy pomsky that she took care of at her home, and it was obvious that she was experienced with dogs and loved being able to spend time with my puppy. I always worry a little bit about having someone with kids take care of my dog, especially because mine is still so young, but by the time she finished watching my dog, they seemed to be best friends! I’ll definitely be having her watch my dog again. 12/10!”
