1. Shawnee B.
“Shawnee has been a godsend to our family. She is so caring and accommodating. We have a dog who has issues accommodating to new people and an elderly cat who requires daily medication. We were so lucky to meet when adopting our youngest kitty through the local shelter and will continue to have her sit for our pets whenever she is available for us because it means we can travel without any worries.”

She has been a loving owner of Dogs, Chickens, a bearded dragon, cats, birds, I don't think there is a pet she would ever turn away. Our love for Mother natures babies is great. I recommend my daughter whole heartedly.”

About: I am a certified pet spoiler! 💜 I genuinely care about all animals because they are just like family. I have 2 spayed dogs that live in my home (and sleep in my bed)! Fancy is a 4.5 year old euthanasia bound rescue and I’ve had her since she was 2 months old. She is my heart dog, for sure. She is the sweetest, friendliest, and most precious girl! JoJo is a rescue dachshund and we believe she’s around 4 as well. JoJo is a cuddler and absolutely adores Fancy. JoJo has been with us since Jan 2024 and we couldn’t imagine life without her! My girls always welcome new friends with open arms and we love sleepovers!! I generally work remote. I have an in home office where my girls have comfy beds and consider themselves my assistants! They’re great at sleeping on the job. My back yard is fenced in and the back door stays cracked so they come and go as they please during the day. If I am not remote, I’m generally gone for 8 hours. By their preference, JoJo stays inside and Fancy stays outside. My retired mother in law lives across the street and comes over for about an hour for playtime on the days I’m working in office. I do occasionally travel for a few days at a time for work, but my travel is generally flexible and planned. Fancy & JoJo free eat so their food is always full. They have a 3 gallon water jug so there’s always plenty to drink. In the afternoons and on the weekends we ride around our farm in our side by side. The girls absolutely love it! They have buckets full of toys and we play a lot. In the evenings we all snuggle up on the couch before bed. They both sleep in the bed.

“I highly recommend Hailee. She takes care of my 4 dogs, walks them daily while I work. She makes sure each dog feels special and loved.”




9. Haley H.
“Haley owns two dogs of her own and treats them like royalty. She absolutely loves walking and meeting other dogs and taking the time to meet their needs. She will work with anyone on their schedule when possible and will treat any dogs she walks with lots of love and attention.”


10. Grace M.

“So amazing and saved the day in a pinch! Pippa looks forward to more play dates!”


11. Gray F.

“What can I say other than Gray is the best! When I was working a lot he took great care of Murphy on his daily walks; paying close attention to my Pooch’s injury. He’s an awesome guy who loves dogs!”


12. Renee T.
About: I’ve worked for boarding in multiple facilities where I have watched large groups of dogs.I have a clear understanding of dog body language. I am always trying to continue my education through self learning. I listen to podcasts, read books, and have taken several courses. The Dog industry is ever changing so I try to keep up. I have been working towards becoming a dog trainer. I’m working on earning my boarding and training certifications as of right now. I currently can take on more. I have a very flexible schedule. I primarily do gig work and I want to dog walk full time. When I take care of my animals or anyone else’s I take the whole dog into account. Dogs have mental, physical, and emotional needs that need to be met just like a human does. If there is a need that is needing to be met, I search for a way to fulfill it.


13. Jessica M.
“Jessica is an outstanding pet sitter. She was attentive, kind, and caring with my guys, we will definitely be using her in the future and recommending her services to friends and family in need.”


14. Sarah W.
“There is truly no one on this earth I would trust more with my animals. Sarah loves all animals and treats every single one as if it were her own! She is knowledgeable, experienced and kind as can be.”


15. Brad R.
“Brad is, by far, our first choice when is comes pet sitting our 3 dogs. He has taken care of them on several occasions and has taken exceptional care of them every time. All three have different needs (one with high anxiety) - he is intuitive and knowledgeable about their needs. He is low- stress and easy to communicate with. GREATLY appreciated and highly recommended.”


16. Ashley M.
“Ashley M. possesses a genuine passion for animals and it was evident in the way she cares for animals. She takes the time to understand each dog's unique needs, preferences, and quirks, ensuring a personalized and comfortable experience. I could tell that she forms a genuine connection with them. Clear and prompt when it comes to communication.”


17. Julie T.

About: I love all animals! But especially dogs. I have fun taking care of them and it’s not even like work to me. I can walk and feed your dogs and play with them for a while if that is what you are looking for. I can take care of cats as well. I am able to give your pets a bath if needed as well! I would be so excited to have a regular customer so that I could get to know the animals and create a relationship with them. In the last year I dog sat about five times for a couple days at a time for a woman who had two dogs and two cats and I enjoyed it each time. I would love to meet your pets!


20. Tricia H.
“Tricia is a very close friend of mine. I have an Australian Sheppard who is very head strong and high energy. She does amazing with him and is patient with him when need be. He gets sooo excited when he sees her. She’s always playing with him and getting him new toys! My dog is very anxious and does not do well with people in general, due to being a rescue and abused prior to us. This just shows how good she is with dogs!”
