“Paige did a great job with our two cats! One of our cats needs oral medication and it was a relief knowing she was able to give it to him! We will definitely use her again.”


“Jasmine is amazing!! This is the first time we have left our dog at home when we went on vacation and Jasmine made it stress free! I can’t recommend her enough. She is a dog person and not only that she will make sure your home is locked and safe while you are away. If you are looking for your new dog sitter, look no further, she is absolutely amazing!”


“Mickayla regularly watches my high-energy corgi while I’m out of town. She is flexible, a great communicator, and so kind. She sends plenty of photos and updates to keep me in the loop. I always feel comfortable leaving because I know my pup will be well taken care of. Mickayla is the best!”

About: I use to run a ranch full of all sorts of animals, and was basically the vet there as well as a horse trainer. I currently have 4 dogs and a cat . I love to see new animal friends and visit with them and see how happy they get when going for a walk or just throwing the ball. I'm athletic and go for mountain bike rides with my dogs and go on hikes as well, also am strong enough for those pups that like to pull. My favorite part of the day is being around my pets and family. I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my child so it can be great to go for walks with pets and get outside. I will care for the pets by loving them and listening to the owners requests . My pets get treats sometimes and outdoor play everyday as well as walks ,weather permitting of course.when it's cold outside we tend to just snuggle up on the couch next to a fire.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I have a huge passion for animals and LOVE loving on them! I’ve taken care of of every kind of little pet-from dogs and cats to lizards and rats. I do have little ones in the house but we have taught them from a young age to be very respectful of animals and their space. We also have two Corgis in our household. Both Corgis are very friendly with other dogs but we understand that some owners may be uncomfortable with having new dogs around their furry friend. With this being said, the corgis are used to following my husband’s schedule who works from home during the night so they can easily be separated from your four-legged friends! As a Stay-At-Home-Mom I am able to offer 24-hour care! We do occasionally like to get out for an activity so do let me know in advanced if around the clock care is needed so we can accommodate! We love to take morning walks and would love for your furry friend to join us! If a walk won’t work-we have a giant fenced-in back yard to run around and play in! I am currently a stay-at-home-mom so most of my day is spent in the home following whatever schedule my boys keep me on:) We would love to incorporate your furry friend into our schedule! I am able to crate your dog (if needed) during the night or when I’m away. If a crate is not needed during the night then your furry friend will be allowed to sleep wherever!

About: I have experience with pet medication, walking, and basic grooming and training. I’m available most of the time. I love taking dogs on close by trails, or to a dog park if preferred. I can also provide dog training. Dogs are a lot of fun and honestly I don’t want to be doing anything else. I’m very responsible and reliable and a I have a new car which kind of ensures that transportation won’t be an issue. If you give me a chance, I’ll be there. And if you let me, I’ll bring my dogs and we can have a puppy play date, if you will. I’m still young so I can definitely keep up, and so can my own dogs. I work Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm. So I’m available for evening walks and evening visits, and I’m completely open on the weekends! I can feed your pets on time and adhere to whatever your potty schedule may be. I have a fenced in yard and a loving 5 year old dog. We love guests at our house. If you prefer, I can watch your babies at your house. This is my most common request.

About: I have 25 years of experience in pet care. Ranging from the exuberant puppy stage to the laid-back relaxation years. My experience includes bathing, grooming and administering medications (i.e. oral, topical and injections). I enjoy long dogs walks and fun-filled activities. I currently work fulltime during the week and am available to do check-ins any time after 4pm. However, I have open availability with no restrictions on the weekends. During check-ins, I check for any packages or accidents and immediately ensure the entry point is secure. I do not allow anyone inside the home during the visit. On dog walks I avoid all other dogs and humans (including dog parks) to ensure the safety of both the pet and I. I operate as if I am always being monitored and will treat your home and pet with the upmost care and respect.

Roddy M.
“I have trusted Roddy for around fifteen years to groom and dog sit my dogs. He is always welcoming and accommodating. Sometimes I think my dogs rather him than me! When they here his name they get so excited knowing they are about to get spoiled with attention. Roddy has helped me out in tight situations that had me leaving town at the last minute. I have recommended everyone I meet to reach out to Roddy for everything from nail trims to boarding! His clients won’t stay clients for long as they become family very quick! Roddy is funny and has a great sense of humor but his love for animals is definitely his number one trait! It is an absolute pleasure knowing this man and having him be my pups Uncle Roddy!”
