“This was the first time Tammy sat for us. She did a great job spoiling our girl Glady's! Tammy sent so many pictures and videos, we felt very comfortable and well informed. upon returning home, everything looked amazing! Clean and tidy, which was truly appreciated. We take Glady's with us on most trips, but when we can't, we have a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Tammy.”

“Rob took great care of our house and two cats while we were out of town for the holidays. He was here for 4 nights / 5 days and did all the usual cat car things: fed, gave meds, cleaned the boxes, and of course, played. Our cats were happy and settled when we returned. Rob is a clear and consistent communicator; he asks questions to ensure he understands what we're needing, he responds promptly, and encouraged us to ask him questions too, so that we could have the best experience possible! And he left the house clean and tidy! We will definitely be booking Rob for our future pet needs! Thanks Rob! :D”

“Kandice house-sat for us for almost 3 weeks while we were out of the country, and she took excellent care of our (60 lbs and very stubborn) dog and 2 cats. She frequently sent us updates and kept in close communication throughout our trip. We were delighted to return to a clean house and happy animals!”

“Imagine going out of state for vacation and never once worrying about your fur babies?! With Ashleigh house sitting we did just that. She is great to communicate with, and sent us updates everyday. I’m pretty sure our dog and cat were still looking for her after we returned home She also took excellent care of the house, we could hardly tell she’d been here. I’ll be a repeat customer!!!”

“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Jana provided as our pet and house sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and beloved pets were in such capable hands. Jana went above and beyond to ensure our animals were not only well-fed and cared for but also showered with love and attention. We returned to happy, healthy pets who clearly enjoyed their time with her. Not only did Jana excel in pet care, but she also kept our home spotless. Walking through the door after our trip, we were greeted by an immaculately clean house, making our return even more pleasant. Her attention to detail, responsibility, and kindness truly made her stand out. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and diligent to look after your pets and home, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Jana and will absolutely be reaching out again for future stays. Five-star service all around!”

“Allison was a wonderful house-sitter in every way! She was patient and skilled with our three pups. She followed all of our care instructions, sent frequent photos and updates, and asked questions as needed. We could tell that our pups quickly were comfortable with Allison, so we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We returned to happy dogs, and our house was as tidy and clean as when we left. We will definitely use Allison again!”

“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”

“Jarrod was a fantastic dog sitter for our 3 pups while we were gone for the weekend! He is very friendly and easy to work with. During his stay, the dogs got plenty of attention and walks; we got plenty of pictures and updates. One of our dogs can be untrusting of strangers, but he quickly warmed up to Jarrod. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for top quality services.”
About: I spent 9 years in Alaska raising, training, racing, and caring for sled dogs, including successfully completing the 2018 Iditarod. During that time, I was responsible for the daily care, health, exercise, feeding, and wellbeing of large teams of dogs in all types of conditions. My experience includes caring for multiple dogs at once, managing high-energy and working breeds, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing the nuances of how dogs communicate. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from laid-back seniors to strong, active dogs that require confident handling and structure. I also enjoy working with puppies and young dogs. I'm familiar with potty schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and helping young dogs develop good habits through consistency and positive interactions. Whether your dog(s) wants to go on an adventurous walk, a dependable drop-in visit, or attentive overnight care, I treat every dog as if they were my own and just want to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Special Experience: • 9 years raising, training, and caring for sled dogs • Finisher of the 2018 Iditarod • Experienced with multi-dog households • Comfortable with high-energy and working breeds • Puppy and young dog care experience • Medication administration • Experience with senior dogs and special care needs • Strong leash handling and dog behavior awareness I am currently working full time, with a somewhat abnormal schedule. I am available on weekends, and some other evenings and mornings. I work 7am to 4pm one week, then 10am to 7pm the next week. I can not accommodate pets in my own home at this time. I am happy to travel to, stay with and take care of others' pets and their property.
