About: Because I live on a farm I can care for cats, dogs, plus farm animals and more! Love puppies and caring for senior dogs and cats! I’m retired and can work any day of the week and can stay overnight if timing works out. I can also bring my dog or cat for a companion play date! I have dogs and cats that live inside our house and barn cats outside. To stay at my house I would use the stalls in my barn if inside did not work for your pet
“Jenny visited my inside dog and cat over a long weekend and I couldn’t be more pleased. She handled my shy little old man with care, and gave the cat all the lovins. Jenny is sharp, responsible, and obviously loves animals. I’ll definitely call on her again, knowing I can have peace of mind about my critters when I’m traveling.”
“Raven is such a sweet soul! She was truly amazing with our pup. We are incredibly happy we found her to take care of our girl while we were out of town.

About: I grew up with 4 golden retrievers and multiple cats. As an adult I had an European bred German Shepherd who was my best friend until she passed a few years ago. I raised her from a puppy and helped her through her senior years. Now, I am a cat dad to a colony that moved in on my property. I have cared for abandoned kittens and gained trust with the feral population. I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule to be able to accommodate a variety of needs. Happy to work across a variety of schedules. I have a strong respect for privacy and boundaries and like to operate with full transparency to meet the needs of clients and their pets.
“Haley is so great to work with! We have used her to let our dog out a few times and will continue to use her for drop ins/boarding. Very comfortable with her, and never worried about our fur child when he’s with her. Highly suggest!”
“Hailee was the best! She was very prompt in getting back with me when I requested her to come and set with my two goldendoodles. She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”
About: Hi! I've been pet sitting since I was 15 for friends, family, and neighbors, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I also have over four years of experience working in a vet clinic as a receptionist, and I’ve jumped in to help with just about everything when we’re short-handed. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of pets—from tiny kittens to dogs the size of ponies! I can give medications (just not injections—personal preference). I’m all about making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part time at a veterinary clinic. My availability is Thursday- Sunday for drop in visits or walks. I’m currently unavailable Monday- Wednesday. I like to do a meet and greet before any drop-in visits or walks. It helps me learn your pet’s routine and gives you a chance to ask questions. My goal is to keep your fur babies happy and comfortable while you’re away by sticking to their usual routine.
“Jamie and Cody were great! They communicated with me throughout my time away, letting me know how my babies were doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about the pups. I will be booking Jamie and Cody again in the future.”
About: I have had my dog for 3 years now, but have been helping friends with dogs for several years. I have also had cats my whole life with about 10 years of experience taking care of them. I am good with babies to elderly pets. I attend High School, so after 3 until around 7:30 AM every day, and all weekends I can spend time with your precious fur babies. I have a personal policy for safety and love when taking care of pets. I love on them but am stern when needed. I also can crate the animal or take them out on leashes if they can not be trusted free roam during potty time.
“She did great with our three dogs! Was very responsive to let us know how visits went. She also sent great pictures!”
About: Very reliable and trustworthy, 4+ years of experience! You can insure your pet is safe with me :) I’ve taken care of dogs big and small! I’m a full time college student but we’re on break so I have free time to love on your pups! Early mornings also ! I love the fresh air ! I have a fenced in back yard, a dog park less than 5 miles away , lots of toys and lots of love ready for your pups:)
About: I was previously a vet tech for about 5 years and worked at a doggy day care but I have loved animals my entire life. I have a calming nature with most pets and enjoy earning their trust. I am currently (mostly) working from home and have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I would love to have a purpose to leave my home and spend more time outside walking or hiking with your pup(s) or playing/cuddling your kitties. I have 3 cats of my own that are spoiled, cuddled and loved so dearly. I believe all pets deserve unconditional love and attention because they give us so much in return.

Annabel K.
“Annabel is such a wonderful person. When she is with our 5 babies, she treats them as if they were her own. She makes sure that they are fed and exercised. She takes them out and plays with them in our acreage with their toys and especially their ballzooka, which is their favorite toys. She spends the night at our home regularly when we travel and keeps our babies entertained and even lets all of them sleep with her. Our babies range in age from our Rottweiler/Boxer, 85 lbs, 10 years old, our twin Boxer/Labs, both 87 lbs, 8 years old, our Chocolate Lab/Siberian Husky, 70 lbs, 11 months old, and our smallest baby, Cocker Spaniel, 30 lbs, 6 years old. If that's not enough we also have 4 chickens that she tends to when she is at our home. So as you see her hands are very full when babysitting our family, but she makes it look so easy and makes sure every one of them have everything they need at all times.”
