“Paul is very good with my elderly cat. I loved the pictures and the updates! I was able to relax while away knowing that Maynard was in good hands with Paul! I've already got Paul engaged for my next trip!”


“My husband and I had Jasmine for an hour drop in to feed and hang out with our 3 dogs. She created a report card that individually explained what she & the dogs did. She provided fantastic details about each pup as well as many pictures of them! My husband and I felt at ease knowing Jasmine was there & trusting her attention to detail to provide what each pups needed.”


“Julianna is great! She is responsive and took great care of our puppy during her drop in visit. I appreciated her update during the visit so we could have a great time while out and away from him for the first time. I highly recommend!”


“Jeaneé is the best. We’ve used her several times now. We always get pictures of the adventures they have together, and updates! We know our animals appreciate having her around.”


“Samantha did a great job for us tonight, Thanksgiving, and it was so nice to arrive home to dogs that had been cared for and fed before we got home. We were gone for hours and it was so appreciated that Samantha took time on her busy holiday to take care of our Furry Herd! We have five dogs, three of whom need medication (one is a fairly complicated regimen of three pills and two eye drops for just one of the dogs), and she pulled it off without a hitch. Thanks again, Samantha!!!!”


“Amanda is an incredibly caring, considerate and wonderful sitter! She is so attentive to my 2 labs and she even brings them treats and works on training with them! I trust her whole-heartedly and am very thankful to have connected with her! She is the best sitter I have ever worked with and will make your fur babies a priority! Amanda is also extremely talented with animals and is excellent at communicating and very respectful. I truly love working with her🥰”


“Fantastic sitter! She was available on short notice and managed to make it over to walk our dogs despite some things that came up for her personally. Very professional and kept us well informed of what was going on with the pups while she was over. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Bianca is the BEST! After hanging out with her just a few times, my dog, Charlie, gets really excited and starts wagging his tail when I tell him he gets to see her. I swear, it’s as though she loves my dog almost as much as I do. Can’t recommend her highly enough!”


“This is our second time having Joey pet sit though this time it was drop in visits for our cats. She is an amazing sitter and I love the photos!! She is great to work with and we will continue to reach out! Our cat that likes to hide comes out for Joey!”


About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have plenty of experience walking, sitting, and caring for them. Whether it’s a playful, energetic puppy or a mellow senior, I love spending time with all dogs and making sure they feel happy and loved. I recently moved back from Hawaii after college and currently work part-time as a server. Pet care fits great into my routine because I can easily schedule walks and visits around my shifts. I love spending time with dogs, giving them exercise and attention, while also making some extra money. It’s a fun way to stay active and with my dogs recent passing it a nice way to keep dogs in my life. I am open to a mix of services including, dog walking, drop in visits, and pet sitting both in my home and yours. My home is pet friendly with plenty of space to play and relax, and my neighborhood has lots of other friendly dogs and areas to adventure around. When caring for a pet in your home, I would follow their normal routine and recommendations to make sure the pup is comfortable and secure.

“Natalie did a great job caring for our cat while we were away. She came on time each day, and spent time with Abby as well. Overall great job. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a qualified, reliable animal caretaker.”


About: I’ve lived with 3 dogs and I’ve been responsible for one since I was 8. I also worked as a kennel assistant and currently work in a doggy daycare. I have experience with boarding cats and dogs as a kennel assistant I’m available for dog walking and drop in visits on the weekends. During the week we can discuss what times you’re looking for and perhaps we can work something out. I will happily drop in and feed your animals and play with them if you would like. just let me know what you want from your drop in visit.
