“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional. She really cared for our animals like they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to take care of our girls again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Crystal and her son are amazing!!! They made our boys feel right at home!! We could tell Crystal and her son provided the boys with lots of love and attention, which is quite the task with our attention seeking boxers :) Crystal is very accommodating and responsive with communication before, during and after their stay. We received pictures and updates throughout, I couldn’t have been happier with her services!! We definitely recommend Crystal and are happy that we found someone to take care of the boys instead of having them go to a kennel environment!!! They were loved and taken care of 24/7 and it showed!! :)”
About: Life is Good with pets! I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs for over 5 years. I have always had different dogs in my life from childhood to adulthood. I’ve seen how happy my own pet is from taking him on regular walks and I am excited to provide this same experience for other pets. I have a large, fenced yard in a semi-rural neighborhood, and I enjoy taking dogs on nice long walks. Pets are allowed on furniture to snuggle and I am also happy to crate train pets, if preferred. I am currently working from home, so I have most of my time to give attention and love to your pet. I am happy to provide these services at all times. I have plenty space and a fenced yard for your pet to play or simple go on potty breaks, if needed. The services requested will be depending on the customers offer :)
About: I have cared for friends and family dogs. I think they can tell when you like them. I’ve always been able to connect with dogs. I’m retired. I was an LPN for 30yrs. I have lots of free time to care for your dog. I definitely can give them meds.😊 If you have fenced yard. I’d play with them clean up and check on them often and bring them in and make sure gates are secure.
“Megan is an absolute treasure!! And that’s with a T not a P. Although she was also a pleasure to work with she is one of the most capable, friendly, caring, conscientious, pet sitters I have ever met. I will definitely use her again. I say treasure because she’s the sitter I would want again and again and again. 10/10 🥰🥰”

About: New to the area and am a huge animal lover! Worked in a small town veterinarian office, so I was always surrounded by others’ pets. I have open availability and am more than able to find a time to work around both your schedule and mine to accommodate the proper care routine. Whether it be my own pet or someone else’s, giving them plenty of attention and time throughout the day allows for a proper care routine.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from Yorkshire terriers to mastiffs. I’ve fed, walked, and entertained dogs most of my life and currently I’m a dog trainer. Currently I’m a dog trainer so I’m required to interact with dogs and learn their behaviors. I love reptiles and small animals, dogs being the most, so pet are is just something that allows me to better myself in that field. My backyard is fenced and I live in a nice area to walk dogs. I’ve studied dog behaviors and body posture so that I can better tend to how they may be feeling during anytime they’re in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property

Joette L.
“Joette has taken care of our Great Dane, 4 cats, and 2 bearded dragons many times when we have been out of town. She follows our feeding schedule, loves on our pets, gives them attention, and goes above and beyond what’s required. She brings them extra toys or treats and was patient with our dog during a season when she would refuse to come back inside. Joette would always be able to patiently persuade her to come back in. She would be a wonderful pet caretaker for any animal.”
