“Heather is amazing. We had to cancel the drop-in and visit request, but yet, she was extremely accommodating and understanding to our last minute cancellation so we paid her in full to show her our appreciation and sincere gratitude and apology:”
“Kelly was AMAZING! She made us feel so comfortable going out of town and leaving our fur baby at home. She did drop in visits for us & sent loads of updates each time. The peace of mind she gave us is priceless!!”
“Alyson responded promptly, despite my very short notice. I was pleased. Her communications were clear. I was even more delighted when she connected with my dog in such a fun caring way. I had peace of mind when she cared for our pooch. She took notes in our meet and greet, and when we were gone for six hour for a game, she sent her arrival time, departure time and pictures for both her visits and was punctual and reliable. My dog has always had a dog sitter, some of whom haven’t been able to get my dog to go outside, and this was no issue for Alyson. Thank you. We enjoyed our time away, our team won and so did our pooch. We are grateful and would highly recommend.”
“First time leaving my pups but Erin put my anxious mind at ease with great communication and sharing pictures every visit. She was so great with Belle and Baloo and I could tell from the photos they really loved her! A true animal lover and my new go-to sitter!”
“Jaclyn was very good with the girls. She spent time letting them get familiar with her and playing with them. I will definitely use her as as my regular sitter for the girls”
“Ann has watched our dog a couple times. Very kind and attentive. My dog tends to be a diva, hates boarding at the kennels, but we leave her with Ann and we come back to a happy dog. Great dog sitter!”
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! Despite MY inability to leave her a key (however I was prepared somehow for my absent mindedness), she worked to find a way to get in the house and then returned when I gave her instructions. She cleaned up my kitties throw ups without me asking her to do so, and even my most shy kitty was social with her. Will absolutely have her watch my babies again!”
“Jessica watched our three cats on short notice over the holidays and took great care of them! She was very responsive, reliable, and went above and beyond. I also appreciated how well she communicated. I would definitely ask her to watch our kitties again!”
“Megan really came through when we were in a pinch last minute. She helped me figure out what services we needed to ensure comfort for my 2 dogs while we were away for one night. We settled on multiple drop-in visits in our home. She communicated well throughout our trip, letting me know of any slight scheduling changes and sent lots of pictures while visiting with my babies. The house was just as we left it when we arrived home, and the dogs were a lot less stressed than when we've boarded them at the vet in the past. We will definitely rebook with Megan in the future!”
“Tawny was excellent with our two dogs. They loved her and had no issues while we were gone. She listened to and executed all instructions to a tee. She was also very flexible with our last minute weekend trip. We will use her primarily again if she's available and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Cassie and her kiddos were so great with our cat, Milo. I got so many of the cutest pictures, he loved them!! She also went above and beyond to help with small house things like bringing in packages. So easy to communicate and schedule with, she’s the best! Will definitely have her come by again on our next trip.”
“Victoria did a wonderful job! I just moved here and my two cats were adjusting and she was caring and understanding of their new environment. She showed up at the requested times and sent many pictures and reassured me that they were doing well. I would definitely request her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Kristen is absolutely the best pet sitter I’ve experienced. My cats live her and when she is at my home they follow her around like she’s part of the family!”
About: I grew up on a small farm in WA state, caring for lots of different animals - to include dogs and cats! My husband and I are not ready for another dog quite yet, and I’m looking to spend my free time loving on and caring for animals! We are currently free on the weekends, so we are happy to walk, feed, or board your animal so you can enjoy your weekend! We are open to overnight boarding for multiple days/weeks. My husband comes home at lunch daily to feed and play with our pup, so don’t worry about your furry friend being stuck in a cage all day long if you choose to board. We have a large, fenced backyard perfect for running laps and playing! Our dog LOVES other friends and has plenty of energy for playing. We prefer crate trained pups for when we are out of the house or at night time to keep our home clean and free from damage (again- my husband comes home at lunch in the middle of the day to let our pup out and play). But if you have an elderly dog, and/or a VERY well trained dog, we are open to no crates!
“I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for taking care of my K & A. Your dedication, care, and attention to detail made my time away much easier knowing they were in such good hands. It was clear that Annie treated them with care and affection as if they were her own. The updates and photos were reassuring and made me smile and feel at ease. Annie went above and beyond facilitating a smooth process while me being in the hospital. Outstanding communication. She is a reliable and caring dog sitter. You truly made a difference, and I'm so thankful for your help. My babies certainly chose you! ☺️”
About: Hi I’m Alicia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As I get ready to transition off of active duty, I’m looking to spend more time with animals and give local pet owners peace of mind. I know how it feels to worry about your fur babies at home. I have experience with a wide variety of pets. I have raised puppies, timid rescues and cared for elderly dogs with significant medical needs. Cats also hold a sweet place in my heart and I love giving them the attention they deserve. I have experience administering medication and tending to whatever specific needs your pet has to make them most comfortable. I am working remote and mostly available during lunch, late afternoon and early evening for offsite visits. Any guest staying in our home will have my attention and the opportunity for plenty of dog walks. During my visits or an in home stay it is my goal to make the pet experience the least amount of stress possible. If your pet is happy, than you can be happy and enjoy your travels, work or any other life demands. I will take care of your pet as my own and provide the highest standard of care. We have a fenced in back yard and our dog Sheldon serves as a great buddy to other pets who may be homesick.
“Campbell was an excellent and reliable pet sitter! She sent plenty of pictures and updated me regularly. I highly recommend her! Thank you!!!”
“Lucia was amazing! Our dogs are shy around strangers and people when we are not home. She is the only stranger EVER that our dogs accepted right away without daily interactions . They immediately felt comfortable around her and gave her all the kisses. Lucia was very understanding and even helped with our chickens! We are definitely only using Lucia now!”
About: My family has had dogs and a cat since I was born, so I’ve grown up around animals and love them! I’ve dog sat for my parents and neighbors many times over the years, but what really gave me the best experience is when my boyfriend deployed and left me with his six month old German Shepard puppy! I’ve handled everything from explosive diarrhea to middle of the night throw up to a heat cycle, so you could say I’ve almost seen it all! I feel equipped to take care of both small and large dogs (my puppy is 70 lbs and growing) and cats as well! I work from home and have a very laid back schedule, so I am available for walking, bathroom breaks, and playtime every day of the week, at anytime! My dog roams around the house but also has a crate that she sleeps and relaxes in. I take her out to the bathroom 3-4 times a day and walk her or take her to the dog park every day for 30 minutes to an 1 hour, so I am used to being active with dogs!
About: As the mom of an 11 year old husky, I’ve had great experience with high energy dogs! Especially ones that need long walks! I can help implement basic leash training, exposure, and just love your furry friend like I would my own. I work a hybrid job, with three days a week at home. This means I can take your pup out for a lunch break, or if you’re running late from the office! I’m also available most weekends. I will always act with love and respect to your pet, like I would my own! I hope to become someone they look forward to seeing because they know it means they get to go out in the yard or on a nice walk.

I seriously think my dog preferred her home to ours, he didn’t want to come home after. I was very nervous to leave my dog miller behind because he has been attacked in the recent past. Marion took the time to make sure both miller and I felt comfortable and safe leaving him behind. She introduced our dogs with a level of patience and expertise that I was very impressed with! 10000/10 would recommend Marion!”

“Ashley first is a truly responsible person. I am aware of an emergency lately where she dealt with taking care of a friend's dog. She was calm and treated the dog with love and care. Ashley enjoys all kinds of animals but has always loved being with dogs and they like to be with her too! When your dog sees Ashley coming through the door, they will not stop wagging their cute tails! My dog Charlotte adores her! She is a loving dog caregiver.”
