“Going away for the holidays was so much more peaceful knowing our little funny farm of furry friends were well taken care of. Heather is so in tune to the personalities and needs of each pet, and she was awesome! She went above and beyond for us! Thanks, Heather!!”


“My pups can’t get enough of Regan and she loves them like her own. I always feel that my dogs and my home are completely safe and well cared for when Regan comes to stay. She’s the best!!”
About: I have always taken good care of our dogs since I was little. I love every kind of dog. Big or little I love them all the same. I currently work at a restaurant a few days a week. Mostly evenings. I need something to do during the day. I would love every minute of it . We have 3 Rottweilers that I take care of everyday. I take them outside on our 5 acres and let them run and play. The love to chase tennis balls.
“Jordan stayed with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a few days. She was so kind and updated me many times with how they were doing and pictures for us to see. She even tidied up and did laundry for us which blew me away! I felt great leaving our dogs with her and would request her again! 🙂”

“Gina did a great job watching my special needs, super senior cat Bridget for a long weekend at my house, along with my 15 backyard chickens. Bridget is near end-of-life with multiple health problems including late stage Chronic Kidney Disease with neurological involvement, and she needs multiple daily medications by both the subcutaneous and oral routes to keep her comfortable. Gina provided me with many regular updates including photos and video, and was quickly responsive to my messages. Gina also called right away when Bridget started exhibiting unusual/changed behavior so we could adjust care appropriately. She made the best of a difficult situation. I recommend Gina for in-home pet sitting.”


“I recently hired Erin to watch my pups, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Erin displayed incredible patience and understanding, quickly establishing trust with my pups. She kept a consistent routine, which really helped calm my one high-strung dog’s nerves. Communication was excellent; Erin provided regular updates and shared photos, making me feel at ease while I was away. She also went above and beyond by engaging in playtime and providing plenty of exercise, which made a noticeable difference in my dog's behavior. Overall, I highly recommend Erin for anyone needing a sitter, especially for dogs with high energy or anxiety. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs!”

“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”

“We are so pleased with Payton and her excellent care for our little pooches. She followed feeding instructions perfectly! Our house was kept clean too! We highly recommend her petting sitting services!”

“Noah was awesome! Our dog, Stirling, was in good hands with daily updates & photos and Noah treated our home with care as well. We arrived home to a happy dog and a clean house. 😊 We will definitely being contacting Noah again when we travel.”

“Kara did an excellent job of looking after Chewy. He was well cared for and loved. Kara provided good communication and updates while we were away. Thank you again!”
“Jason provides great care to my dogs and cat and is always super nice and helpful. Great communication and I really appreciate that he’s been able to sit for me on such short notice. Highly recommend him :)”

About: Coming from a background of puppy breeders, I have more then enough knowledge in not just caring for pets but understanding them as well. I have a genuine love for all animals, and have grown up with dogs, cats, farm animals and everything in between. Animals adore my company and high energy and the time I take to ensure they’re safe, fed, comfortable and have had plenty of time for exercise. When it comes to animal care I am definitely the person pet owners would seek out! Pet care works into my schedule in many ways! Essentially I’m available any day or time as I own a snow removal company and am really only busy on the days it snows more then 3” which for me is typically one to two days a week (maybe). How I take care of my puppy, well my dog is served food twice a day about 2 cups of dog food. She is my buisness partner as I work alone, so she rides shot gun everywhere I go when plowing. We have an underground fence although she has been very well trained that she wouldn’t run off even without a collar. My dog can sit, bow, lay down, roll over and I’ve trained her to off leash walk. Everywhere I go I am complimented on how well minded she is. And as a black lab shepherd mix that’s impressive considering the level of engergy she has. In my clients home I will tend to my clients specific instructions as I know every owner to puppy relationship is defferent. I will care for their animal just as they would. And ensure a easy going, safe, and happy environment for the best sitting experience possible.
“Ashley was a perfect fit for us. She was able to come meet our stranger adverse dog before the stay. She was able to stay with our dog while we were away and kept us informed, with pictures. She was respectful of our space, our dog, and us. We look forward to using her again.”

“Carissa was absolutely great! She was on time, communicated and responded quickly, and left the house in immaculate shape. Her love of dogs was obvious and our dog was content and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Carissa and would happily use her services again.”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a child. I have always owned cats and dogs, did baby sitting and pet sitting for family growing up. When I was a child I was in 4H showing my dog and horses. Through 4H I learned a life long love for caring for animals. I provide a specialty service, I will care for your pet and home like it is my own. If you hire me for house sitting, I will get the mail, take care of your home and pet like it is my own, and you will come home to a cleaner house than you left. I can help to provide shuttle service to and from the airport. I can take your pets to any appointment they have during your time away. If communicated, I can provide any number of services while you are away. I am in the process of selling the company that I own. I aim to make pet sitting my full time job. I am committed to being with your pet like it is my own. I want my services to be high end, your pet will spend all of its time with me, getting the same attention they are used to from you. I have a fenced in yard and currently have 2 of the nicest golden doodles around to play with. I can crate your dog if required, take them on car rides or walks. I live less than 2 minutes from a fenced in dog park. I would love to have your pet be my best friend during our time together.
“Sally was amazing. She watched our extremely anxious dog while we got married up north. She sent updates and made me feel so much at ease. Couldn’t be more grateful!!”

About: I have had animals since I was little and I have been watching my family and friends animals of and on for years. I have had puppies to senior dogs and cats. I'm currently working part time, and a online class. I can work with your animal Thursday after I get done working till Sunday. Maybe other days depending how close you are. I love on your animal like it was my own. I will send pictures of them if you want updates. Follow the directions you give me on what and when you feed them.
About: I am an active person who loves animals. I will optimize your pets time with me by individualizing their care based on your pets unique needs! Whether that be long or short walks, medication schedules, or any unique needs they may have I’m currently unemployed, I have a free schedule to provide quality time and care to fill your pet care needs. I’m a flexible person who thrives on a schedule so I can adapt to your pets schedule. Treating any pet I live with with care and sensitivity, I treat them as I would toddlers(with a big language barrier). They have needs and ways to communicate them, we just interpret. I hold myself accountable to attend to the pets needs that are communicated by owner and also spend quality time with the pet.
“I can’t say enough good things about Katherine’s stay with our Bode. She is amazing. Loved the daily updates and she is so sweet and very responsive and communicative. Bode loves her and misses her already.”
