“Michaela watched our two pups at our home for the week. Her communication was wonderful from initially setting up an in person meet and greet and throughout the week while we were gone. She took excellent care of the home as well. It was nice not having to worry about a single thing.”
“Jordan was great! She gave us frequent updates and photos of our dog and cat while we were away. She was also a very kind guest in our home. We will definitely be reaching out to her any other time our animals need care!”
“Brownie needs more interaction with people on an ongoing basis without mom around. Kelly did the best she possibly could with a scared dog. Thank you for trying so hard and giving him his treats. Hopefully he will get there soon. Thanks Kelly for the updates and pictures.”
About: I have worked in veterinary services for 5 years. I have a wide variety of veterinary medicine experience. I graduated Vet Tech school in 2020. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. I can do drop in visits before work at 7 am. I have my lunch break from 12pm-1pm, depending on location I can do a dog walk or a drop in visit during that time. I can also do drop in or dog walks after work during the time of 5pm-8pm. On the weekends I am free anytime, and can do home stays. I do overnight home visits only on the weekends, but do not have pets stay in my home. I can feed/water, clean litterboxes, and walk pets. I can also stay with the pets for a negotiable amount of hours to play/socialize with them. And any other services if agreed upon.
About: Hi, My name is Sierra! I love animals because they're loyal and the best reason to get up in the mornings! I have never met a dog I didn't immediately fall in love with. I have watch my friends and family pets when they have gone out of town. I could never discriminate against dogs or cats, but cats do hold a special place in my heart because I have always one or several growing up. You are constantly learning when taking care of animals, but most importantly they teach us to love unconditionally. I couldn't imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends, so I can't wait to meet you and your pet family! I'm currently in between jobs so I have more time to dedicate to checking in your fur babies and provide the best boops around town! I currently live in a house with a fenced in yard but will never leave them unattended while chasing squirrels, and getting much needed exercise.
“Cathy is awesome! She is extremely professional, great with our three dogs, one of which, that is extremely anxious. She’s been extremely flexible as well, which is much appreciated. I would highly recommend her!”
About: We have had my own dog, a 50 lb pit bull mix, for about 9 years now. I have helped taken care of neighbor and family friends’ dogs including letting them out, feeding them, and keeping them entertained! I currently a full time dental hygiene student and work as a dental assistant when I can! ** My school schedule changes every semester! This fall, I will most likely be in school M, W, F 8-5 and Thursday mornings. I cannot edit my schedule on here to accurately reflect that! No harm in trying to put in a request and I will let you know as soon as I can if it works or not!! Thank you** I know how important environment is, and as I will say frequently, comfortability is a priority! I try to keep as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure all fence gates and doors are closed to prevent escape… or entry to somewhere where they shouldn’t be! I also try to notice behavioral or physical changes like an upset stomach, not eating/drinking, lethargic, etc. so I can let pet parents know immediately in case of an emergency.
About: I have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I’ve worked with dogs big and small, old and young. I can follow any strict diets, routines, and even give medication. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have done pet-sitting for friends and family on top of my work experience! As of right now I have a pretty open availability! I can do any week day and even some weekends! For any questions you have on my availability, feel free to reach out, I’m pretty flexible! I care for pets by paying close attention to their behavior and figuring out their needs. I can notice if behavior is slightly changing. I make sure to keep a clean environment and keep up on their necessities!
“Maria was wonderful! She arrived when she said she would and stayed until late afternoon the day I was returning. It was great that she kept in touch while I was away to ease my mind. House looked great when I returned. I would definitely recommend Maria.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for many years for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience house sitting, pet sitting, dog walking, and lots of experience with cats. My most recent pet I had for nearly 9 years was a cat I found at the shelter- we became inseparable. I’ve spent the last year traveling the US in my self converted camper van, and I’ve felt that the lifestyle doesn’t suite having a pet at this time- so being able to step in and help others with their animal’s needs truly fills a void in my heart! My most memorable pet sitting gig was for a litter of 8 Dutch Shepherd puppies and their momma. I also have experience with senior pet care and enjoy taking pets out and about if the owners would like. I also clean houses on the side which has exposed me to many different kinds of animals in the home and their varying personalities, needs, and sensitivities. Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to being of service to you and your pet/home! 😌 I’m currently working in the surrounding area for a cleaning company. My daytime hours are pretty full doing that, however I am available for evening care as well as overnight care. Let me know if you would like more details regarding my schedule! I recognize what a large responsibility and privilege it is to step into someone else’s home and to care for their pets who have become their family. I treat each animal and home as if they were my own and try my very best to accommodate the specific needs of your pet whether it be crating, potty, medication schedules, anxiety, play time/favorite toys, etc.
“Alex was awesome to work with! She took on the job of caring for our pups super last minute, made time to meet and greet within less than 24 hours of our initial conversation, and did great not for our pups but communicating with me. We will definitely be using Alex again 👍🏻👍🏻.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, horses, cats, and more of all kinds since I was young! I’m not certified but I can teach your puppies basic skills. I’m also more than willing to take extra care of your senior animals. I love all the big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! I’m working night shift currently from 4-9, sometimes I go in at 3. I can visit them in the morning, right before work, and after work if I’m not house sitting. I can bring treats and toys to your home for your fur babies to enjoy. Of course with the owners permission. I can take them for walks, give them outside time, and play with them before I leave (if not house sitting).
“Kelly is Amazing!! She has such compassion and love for your fur babies in all the extras that she does to make you feel at ease when you are away. We will definitely be using Kelly again in the near future!”
“Brandan did great with Demetri, who is anxious dog and requires special attention. He made sure D was well taken care of in my absence. I would highly recommend and rebook with Brandan again!”
“Tatym was great!! She was so friendly and our dog instantly liked her upon meeting. She gave our dog his medication, sent regular updates with pictures, responded quickly to texts, and treated him like her own! We could tell when we got home he was well taken care of, and so was our home from when she stayed. We will absolutely contact Tatym again when he need dog sitting in the future!”

Rachel B.
“I had a wonderful experience with Rachel who watch our two Boxers. Our girl CJ was an old lady who was prone to accidents and Tank who was easily 90lbs of energy. Rachel was communicative, responsible, and clearly experienced with large, active breeds. She took the time to get to know CJ and Tanks schedule and needs. The dogs were happy and well cared for. I don't think they missed me at all. It's not always easy to find someone who can confidently handle two big dogs, but she did it with ease and genuine affection. Even more recently, our Dutch Shepherd had a litter of puppies! Rachel helped watch the pups from when they were just a few days old until they were ready to go home. She handled them, made sure they nursed, mixed their gruel, took them through stimulation protocols, and didn't hesitate to clean up after their messes. Rachel has proven herself capable to take care of tough breeds (i.e., Dutchies and Boxers) at every stage of life from new born pups to senior dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.”
