“Cody and Sarah are extremely reliable, timely, responsible and take great care of our pup while we work! Communication is always great and quick. They are very flexible with our schedules. Also they take phenomenal pictures of our dog that make me smile every time!”
“Jessica was wonderful! Took great care of our cats and was very attentive to details. She sent a few photos and updates and let us know that our kitties were okay. It was such a relief to know our cats were in good hands over the holiday.”
“Sammy did a great job looking after my energetic kitty for a few days. She came twice a day and played with her and sent me many pictures! I was nervous about leaving my kitty for the first time, and she put my mind at ease. Will book again!”
About: I have a long history caring for animals! I’ve worked with and cared for animals since I was six years old. I began training horses and dogs when I was eleven, and have continued to ever since. I have 2 dogs, a horse and a cat of my own. I’ve owned animals my whole life, never having the house without at least 3 dogs or cats at a time. I run and walk frequently and am happy to bring your pet along, but I’m also happy to stay in with a cat! I’ve cared for family and friend pets, and I’m able to provide all typical pet care and medication administration. I’m currently home from college, so I’m free almost any time! I’m happy to work with you and come up with a schedule that meets you and your pets needs. I’m incredibly mindful of your animals disposition, and any specifications you may have concerning the need of your pet! I’m able to drive to a clients home for sitting.
“Samantha was excellent, she went above and beyond to be communicative and ease our concerns about the snow storm our area got while we were away, and our cats were very happy and clearly well loved!”
“Megan was a great dog sitter. She was able to do drop-ins with only two days notice. She arranged her visits for three dogs staying at my house. She seemed to get along well with our dogs and got them outside and fed. I’d recommend Megan to other pet owners.”
“Shae was so great with my dog! Very punctual and communicative, super glad to have her! Didn’t have to worry at all during my work day.”
About: I am mostly interested in hosting cats but if you have a well tempered pup I would be willing to discuss if we would be a good match. I have time before I go to work (from 6 am to 8 am) to check on animals and after I get out at 5:00 pm I am available Monday through Friday. Saturday's I am available after 1 pm and Sunday I have open availability. I love cats and want them to feel most comfortable. Give me a list of their likes and dislikes and I will be sure that we will have a splendid time!
“Lillian was an amazing and attentive cat sitter! She completed the daily drop ins and played with my cat and gave her lots of love. My cat can get really anxious when she's left alone but when I came back home she was at ease and happy. I am so thrilled with the care she got from Lillian!”
“My wife and I were so comfortable with Ashley. She really helped us out in a last minute request, sent so many updates, and made us feel totally at ease. Not to mention our pups loved her. Highly recommend. And if you’re reading this Ashley, hope to have you sit for us again soon : )”

I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I am available most weekends for all your furry friends needs. I typically request a meet and greet so that I can see your pups routine first hand and ensure that we are a great match :)
“Cassie is such a sweet person who took amazing care of my two fur babies. I am a travel nurse so I had to leave my dogs home while I traveled away for 5 days. This was the first time and I was so scared to leave my fur babies. Cassie quickly put that fear to ease and met the fur babies before hand. She came by and my husband and I immediately got a great vibe from her. While I was away, Cassie sent me videos and pictures of the dogs. I was always updated and she communicated perfectly. She also took good care of our place. We will definitely be using her again! She is heaven sent. Ps: my dogs loved her!”
About: Hi! My name is Aly and I’m 18. I love going on walks and playing with cats and dogs. As well as just lounging around.

About: Are you looking to go out of town for the weekend or for a weeks vacation, but don't want to stress your pet(s) by boarding them? I would be happy to come care for your furry friends at your home, and am comfortable doing overnight stays. I am very comfortable around all dog breeds and sizes. Have a cat or other family pet that needs care as well? No problem! I'm open to caring for animals other than dogs, too, and would love the opportunity to discuss caring for your pets further. Growing up my family always had dogs and cats around, and we also raised 7 dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. For the past 5 years I've been pet/house sitting for others as a way to spend additional time around animals, and provide families with an alternative to boarding. I am licensed, insured, and bonded, as well as pet CPR/First Aid certified. I have exceptional references, and would be happy to provide those upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!
