“Madelyn was wonderful with my dog and 2 cats. The house was all in great condition when I arrived back home. She sent pic updates during her stay and was easy to follow up with. I will be rebooking her again!”


“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”


About: Hi there:) My name is Madison! I have experience running a kennel, so I am trained in medication and vaccinations! I have brief experience with obedience training if you have special needs for your pup. My life revolves around animals and I would love to help create a safe and fun environment for your fur child while you are out! I treat all animals like they are my own, so your pet will get all of the love that i give my fur kids. They will have fun playing in the yard and going on walks, we do a ton of training throughout the day and play with our Barkbox toys! I will be the only one handling your babies:) I currently work in law enforcement and am always out and about. I love working in the community and am able to take a breath during my work day to go love on some lil pups. I am always house sitting for family and friends and do my best to make sure the pets are safe and happy in their most comfortable environment. I will be the only one who will be handling your pets!

“I highly recommend Justin as your fur baby sitter! He was here on time. He took amazing care of our two little fur babies. He let them outside and played with them. They were given lots of attention. He also respected our home. He is super friendly and trustworthy.”


“Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute. Our dogs (or us) never had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and we came home to happy dogs! I can’t express my gratitude enough and the fact she was able to give me the peace of mind that I needed.”


“Shelby did a great job with our pup! She stayed with him and cuddled him while we were out all day and safely secured him in his kennel when she left for the day. He was a happy and safe dog thanks to her!”


About: My passion for any and all animals has always been a huge cornerstone of my life. I’ve learned when it comes to taking care of my own pets but also my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years, during the day and overnight, what’s been the most important aspect of this work, is having integrity and loving the pets as I would my own. I’m currently working mornings and early afternoons at a groomers. I’m typically available anytime after 4pm weekdays and available all day during Saturday and Sunday. I have a dog and cats of my own so your babies will be in good company! There is a lovely walking trail beside my residence I take my dog for walks on everyday if taking care at my residence. If taking care at your residence I will utilize all normal routines the babies are used to everyday.

“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”


“Katy was exceptional! She took care of our 3 very active dogs for 9 days. Our dogs immediately bonded with Katy and likewise. Katy utilized her natural instinct as well as wealth of experience to handle every need of our 3. She went over and above to refill a prescription for one of our pets. She also cleaned our house from top to bottom before, we returned and even took our recycling to drop off as she left. We will definitely have Katy return and I am sure our dogs can't wait for her to visit again!”

“Lenny is the best house sitter I've had yet! She was reliable and so caring toward my three great Dane boys who are all on a unique and high-maintenance diet. She was easy to communicate with and flexible to my needs. Thank you Lenny!”


About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have read up on animal first aid and training. Also having trained 3 dogs. Dogs are my life and I would do literally anything for them! I currently have both weekends and weekdays free. And available anytime, minus some doctors appointments! Looking for a new job currently so until then that won’t change! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me!

“I am one of 'those moms' leaving a whole page of notes, tips, suggestions, etc., but my boys are my everything...so...I was so happy to find Cassie! She was great with the boys - sending lots of pictures of their play and rest times. She took great care of the house too during her overnights. We've already booked two more weekends away knowing our boys and our home are in great hands with Cassie!!”


About: My entire life, I have loved pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been trusted to care for countless animals over the years and am always willing to make a new friend. I work 8-4:30 most days, but live close enough to come that I can stop and check on your pet if it is at my home. Weekends I have wide open availability and can fit your needs in whatever way possible! My pets are all loved profusely and I have never met a pet I didn’t like. Your pet will be treated as one of my own.

“Lindsay was wonderful from start to finish ..... professional, caring and fun! Our dog (an older Golden) loved her and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Will definitely use her again!”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life and own a couple myself! I have watched pups for my neighbors, family, and friends and it is truly my favorite thing to do. I have experience with health issues, mobility issues, senior and puppy care, deaf and blindness, etc. I’m currently a nanny and student which doesn’t normally affect my daily drop ins or walks. Other than that I try to live a fairly active lifestyle so I enjoy taking pups to private places outdoors or even just going for a walk or jog around a neighborhood. When I house sit I like to spend as much of my time at the house with them as possible that way they get to keep a close routine to what they normally would. I keep the pups daily routine as close as possible to what their owners would. I like to provide lots of exercise and time being spoiled. Messes get cleaned up immediately, if needed pup will be bathed and groomed, if the pup sleeps on their owners bed then I don’t mind some cuddles at night!
