“Jessie took great care of Mia, as she was happy and very tired from playing when we picked her up! We received pics every day, and Jessie was quick to respond to any communications. They were a great fit!”


About: I have two dogs of my own who are like my children. One is a senior and the other is 3 years old. I have 20 years of pet care experience and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how stressful it can be away from your pets and will do all I can to help them to be happy and comfortable during their stay. I am home and my schedule remains flexible so I will be available for all your pet needs. I walk my own dogs twice per day and have regular play times in my fenced in back yard. Your pup will join us on our adventures and be one of the family. Pets will be free to roam the house and sleep on the furniture just like my own dogs. I have a crate available if your pet is used to sleeping in one. I will follow all of your instructions for your pets care to the T. I know how important it is to keep their routines as close as possible. I have a fenced in yard and there will be plenty of time to run and play with my two dogs. I have dog puzzles, pup sickles, and sniffle mats for activity time as well.

“Millie had a wonderful week with Cherie! Cherie had Millie on a wonderful routine, took her on walks daily, and sent picture and videos so we could see how much fun she was having! We are so thankful for Cherie!”


“Both of my dogs took a liking to Jay immediately; I admit I was a little hesitant of our male as he is a rescue and does not do well with men. Jay did a great job making him feel comfortable which set my mind at ease. Jay addressed any and all questions prior to us leaving and did an excellent job communicating and sending photos while sitting. Will definitely be be booking again, if needed. I highly recommend Jay!”



“Marissa was great and kept us informed on how our pooch was doing with lots of pictures and updates. She was also flexible with our drop off and pick up times when our plans changed, which was greatly appreciated!”



“Jean was superb with our pet and hope to get to book her again. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to take good care of animals. Her experience and expertise gives you peace of mind that your pet is in good hands.”


“Angela was great with Peyton. He needs extra attention due to his anxiety and she was accommodating with him. I appreciate the care she gave him. Highly recommended!!”


About: I am a fur mom to 7 dogs, 1 cat and fish. I have had animals in my life since I was a teenager. I had a dog sitting business years ago and loved it. I have senior dogs now and have even rescued senior dogs and they lived with me until the end. I have fostered for rescues and even been a foster failure and adopted. I currently have my own business doing waxing so I my schedule is flexible. I don’t work weekends so I can house/pet sit while you are out of town. I will do whatever needed in my clients home, check on your pets at your home or your pets can stay at my home. I have my own pack myself.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life. I am a mom of 3 cats and fostered a dog recently. Animals aren’t just pets, they are family. They are important and I take that to heart! I work full time, M-F 7-4. However I’m home every night and have plenty of time in the evenings for play times, cuddles, and of course dinner & treats. Weekends I’m always home and if I run errands it’s only for an hour or two. I love walks and visiting the dog parks! I don’t own any crates, so if they are crated they will need to come with it. However I have a fenced in backyard, and lots of toys to entertain with! I do have a house with 3 cats but they aren’t bothered by dogs and get along very well. All animals aren’t welcome on the couch and the beds. I want them to be as comfortable as possible!

About: I have always loved animals and they have always loved me. I have raised 3 children, 4 cats, 3 dogs and a guinea pig. I have worked with children most of my life that includes working with the school board for 12 years. I have experience working with special-needs children, including being a private care taker for special needs and volunteering with the elderly. I am a compassionate person and have an eye for detail And would love for you to trust me with your precious for babies 💜🐾☺️ I have been a stay at home mom for 10 yrs now. My children are 19,11,and 8. So, I will be home all day and able to give your fur baby my full attention. I live in an apartment with two dog parks and a pet bath house. I will be able to walk your dog every few hrs as needed and could even bathe them for you. We also own a female Goldendoodle for your pet to play with. I will be able to crate your dog as needed.

Thank you for taking care of our Rosie and Charlie.”


“Sara T. was wonderful! She was very attentive to my dog Oreo. She sent me several update messages throughout my dog's stay. She reassured me that my baby was comfortable and well taken care of. I also received video and still photos of my dog. Sara T. was as sweet as her picture! Sara also had a cute gift bag with pictures of Oreo, a sweet note, stickers and candy. I am so impressed! I have never felt so good about leaving my dog with someone! I will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her to any who is nervous about leaving their dog with someone! Love her and her family! Thanks for a great doggie vacay!”


“Barb was absolutely a wonderful dog sitter! Our Labradoodle Ziggi was well taken care of and had a great time with her. Barb was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She kept us informed daily with pictures about how Ziggi was doing. We had an unexpected family emergency and had to fly out on Thanksgiving day which was already stressful and Barb made it so much easier and was very accommodating. Knowing that Ziggi would be taken care of took a lot of stress away from our trip. We would definitely use Barb again to dog sit Ziggi.”


“i booked kearstin last minute and she was so nice and accommodating ! i got frequent updates and my dog seemed so happy, will for sure use her again!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I truly understand the unique needs of each pet. I always ensure they feel loved, comfortable, and well-cared for. Whether it’s playing with them, ensuring their exercise, or giving them plenty of attention, I go above and beyond to make them feel at home. My experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior cats, sets me apart as a sitter who can offer both care and companionship. I have a lot of free time, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walking, playing, and giving pets the attention they need. I have a large, fenced-in yard where pets can run around, play, and get plenty of exercise. My four cats are very friendly and love interacting with dogs and other cats, so your pet will have the chance to socialize in a calm, comfortable environment. Inside, I make sure pets feel at home by providing cozy spots for resting and keeping their routine consistent. Whether it's playtime or nap's, I make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need to feel happy and safe.

About: I have grown up on a farm and have been taking care of animals all my life. I have a passion for helping and love all dogs and cats. I have a medical background and don’t shy away from administering medicine, shots and pills. I have delivered many litters and am comfortable around older or sick dogs. I stay home right now and all of our kids are out of the house. So now I only have our furry babies at home. I provide safe and clean environment for my pets. Keep them all up to date on their health care. Give them lots of love and attention.

“Heather was great. I got pictures of a happy dog. I highly recommend her. I had no worries while I was away on my trip. Too bad it only give her five stars should’ve got 10.”
