“Mark is outstanding. As the owner of four golden doodles under the age of three, I was impressed by his punctuality, professionalism, and thorough questioning during our initial meeting. Mark's trustworthiness and genuine affection for animals, rather than mere financial interest, are evident. He quickly gained the trust of my puppies. I will be relying on his services for all future pet-sitting and boarding needs.”


“Niya was great! I needed someone to feed my frog and gecko, and to check on my snakes' water, and she did so wonderfully. My frog is notoriously difficult to feed, and other than Niya, no one else has been able to feed him. Definitely recommend, especially if you have reptiles or amphibians!”


About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the way I care for your pets like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies just learning the ropes, to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with giving medications, adjusting routines for older pets, and helping with basic puppy training like crate time and leash walking. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs and personality, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or just quiet company, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—living in the country with my family, animals are truly at the heart of our routine. We have a spacious, fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own crew includes a friendly dog, three playful cats, a curious bunny, and some happy chickens—so we’re used to all kinds of personalities and care needs. My two children absolutely love giving gentle “lovins” and playtime to our furry (and feathered) guests, and they’re always excited to welcome new animal friends into the mix. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog gets their meds or helping a puppy burn off energy, we approach every day with patience, kindness, and genuine joy for what we do. Caring for animals fits right into our family rhythm—it’s not just part of our schedule, it’s part of who we are. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. We live in the country with plenty of fresh air, room to roam, and a fully fenced outdoor space where dogs can play safely and freely. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and are never left feeling isolated—whether it’s curling up on the couch or enjoying quiet time away from the action if they prefer. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, medication, and cuddle time are all handled with care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent and stress-free, from feeding and potty breaks to walks and companionship. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I keep communication open with photo updates and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.

About: I grew up on a farm with 16 horses, cows, dogs, and cats, which gave me solid experience in animal care. I also travel, camp, and hike with my cat, Pumpkin, which has helped me learn to manage various pet needs while on the move. My background includes experience with horses, dogs, and cats, as well as training and handling. I’m skilled in caring for both active and senior pets, providing personalized attention. My adaptability and travel experience make me a reliable choice for pets needing a caring and flexible sitter. I am currently working a remote job that I can log in at any time, so I can make my schedule around and pause for any pet care! I am across the road from an open field we can walk to or around Monroe's less busy roads. Pumpkin has his own bedroom he can go to that he is safe in and I have an additional open room if needed, along with the rest of the house. In client's homes, I can be there as long as needed and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Jennifer was very good with my 2 very shy cats. She figured out calling them didn't work. Instead, she would sit quietly and let their curiosity get the better of them. She sent me pictures every day--so nice to see. Plan to make her our regular pet sitter!”
