About: My husband, Cole and I love dogs! We have two our own, Palmer and Goose. We live on 7 acres, and have an acre and a half that is fenced in for ours and your pup to play together. They would love to have friends come visit! We live in a home with a fenced in backyard. I am a stay at home mom with a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Because I’m home most of the time, I am super flexible with drop off/pick up times and am able to watch the pups closely and allow them to be outside often. We have plenty of toys, dog beds and bowls. All you will need to bring is dog food and a crate if your pup needs one! Palmer and Goose love to play in the yard with any dog friends who come stay with us, and they share their toys very well with others. On some occasions, we are able to take care of more than one dog at a time. Please let me know if this will be an issue for you or your dog! My husband and I know how important your pup is to your family and we will take the best care of them as if they were our own! Thank you for considering us! I am a stay at home mom so I am available all day every day to care for your pup! When I leave, which is rare, I usually put our dogs in a crate to keep them calm. We have an acre and a half that is fenced in for the figs to run and play. They will always be supervised when outside for the safety of all.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I bring to every animal I care for. I treat each pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and understood while their owners are away. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies who need training and routine, to senior pets who require a little extra love, gentleness, and sometimes medication or mobility support. I’m also great at picking up on body language and behavior changes, which helps me quickly spot if something seems off. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or quiet cuddle time, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I truly enjoy. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quiet time with animals, I make it a priority. I’m used to planning my schedule around pets’ needs—early morning potty breaks, regular exercise, meals, and any special care they might require. I enjoy being active, so daily walks or playtime are something I look forward to. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task to me—it’s something that brings joy and structure to my days. I always make sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for, no matter how busy the week gets. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always make it a point to respect their space and stick closely to the routine the pet is used to. I follow all instructions for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication if needed. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them attention, affection, and plenty of exercise or quiet time depending on their needs. I also keep things tidy—cleaning up after meals, litter boxes, or outdoor breaks—and always keep the home as I found it. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment that feels like a second home. I provide structure, play, and a lot of one-on-one time. I monitor their behavior closely, keep their space clean, and give them a cozy, secure area to rest. Whether at my home or theirs, I always focus on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little kid. My neighbors would often ask me to take care of their animals while they were gone; as well as my own pets. I love all sorts of dogs, older or puppies, and all breeds. I have a senior dog now that I take care of. Most of my family have puppies and I take care of them when they are not around. I do not discriminate at all to breeds. I am eventually going to vet school so I want to get to learn all breeds of dogs. I am a server so my schedule is typically just night shift 5 days a week. I typically work Friday-tuesday (weekends being more occupied because of my serving job, but not always) I get up early and take my dog out and don’t go into work until around 4. Me and my dog get up and go outside. sometimes she wants to go for a walk in the morning. she is older so it’s not all the time. then I feed her and we play around. go back outside and walk. she loves to lay around, but when she wants to get up and go we go!

About: I’ve had animals around my entire life, and no matter the task I will do everything to ensure your animal is happy and healthy when you return home! I am a homeschooled student with lots of free time through the week, I take care of animals at home already, so it won’t be a change for me, With the pets I care for in my home I currently care for two dogs and one reptile, I feed them once in the morning and once at night, they have medicines to take and the reptile is fed over other day, and kept in a tank with a lamp to keep the tank nice and warm for her

Genuine, reliable, dedicated, and a positive force. My dog Kora loves her and you and your pets will too!”


Zoey T.
“It’s truly a pleasure to write a reference for my friend Zoey. She is one of the most dependable, kind-hearted, and driven individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Whether she’s stepping up to help someone in need or throwing herself fully into a project, Zoey leads with both compassion and purpose. Her ability to balance empathy with accountability makes her someone that others naturally turn to and trust. Zoey brings a sense of calm and confidence into every space she enters. She’s a great listener, an even better problem solver, and consistently approaches challenges with a level-headed and thoughtful mindset. I've seen her stay composed under pressure, offer support without judgment, and find creative solutions to even the trickiest situations. What sets Zoey apart is her genuine nature and unwavering integrity. She doesn’t just talk about values—she lives them. She’s the kind of person who will show up early, stay late, and bring positive energy every step of the way. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a teammate, friend, or collaborator. I’m proud to know her and even prouder to recommend her wholeheartedly.”
