Isabelle came over on short notice for meet and greet. I just put one of my dogs down, and another was sick. She gave meds and took care of carrying my dog in and out of the house. I have an active puppy and she managed her well. The house was just as I left it. I appreciate the great care she gave my dogs.

Kara did a great job house sitting and watching our dogs while on vacation. The pups were well loved while we were gone. Will definitely rebook!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Many breeds from labs to aussies to huskies. I can bathe, trim nails, and exercise your pets if need be. I work in a dental office throughout the week but my hours are flexible. I can work around the schedule if I can plan ahead. I plan on following the instructions the client has for the pet. If the pet parent does not want the pet to be off leash or walked in a certain part of town, I will follow those rules. I am particularly about my own dog and her safety so I completely understand where people are coming from when it comes to letting someone else watch their pet.

Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!

Kathleen is absolutely amazing with our fur babies. She always comes when she says she will. She gives them extra love and attention and she insures their safety. We wouldn't trust our 3 dogs and 4 cats with anyone else!

Clare is absolutely the best! Her care for animals and attention to detail is really what sets her apart. She takes a lot of effort in getting to know your animal and I’ve never been disappointed when trusting her with my dogs. Bottom line, she is very caring and great with animals. Would highly recommend Clare to anyone!

Kelsey has watched my cat Luna and my dog Lollipop on several occasions. Lolli is an extremely active dog who needs to be walked multiple times per day and requires lots of play time. Kelsey does an amazing job making sure these needs are met. Luna is a grouch who refuses to poop in the litter-box and has a biting problem, but this doesn't phase Kelsey! She is truly a rock star and my first choice for all my pet watching needs.

There are very few people I trust to sit my dog and Tracy is one of them. For years I have seen he care for animals of all different breeds, shapes and sizes and do so unfailingly with great care and attention to detail. I know that animals are her passion and she cares for each one as if they were her own. My dog has always returned from Tracy happy, healthy and loved.

I am delighted to write this testimonial for Bryce, who is an exceptional and responsible pet owner. I have had the pleasure of knowing Bryce for several years, and during this time, I have witnessed their unwavering dedication and love for their furry companions. Bryce’s commitment to the well-being of their animals is truly commendable. They prioritize the health, happiness and safety of their animals above all else. What sets Bryce apart is his genuine affection and love for animals. It’s evident in the way they interact with their pets with patience, kindness, and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryce as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible caregiver for their animals. Their dedication, love and sense of responsibility make them an exemplary pet sitter, and any pet would be lucky to have them.

Amanda is absolutely amazing! She was caring for our dog while we were away when our dog got very sick. She did everything to make her comfortable and to feel better until we returned. Amanda is very knowledgeable and compassionate when it comes to caring for animals and we couldn’t have left our fur baby in better hands!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have always been passionate about them since I was a kid. I wanting to be a vet when I grew up but life took a different turn and I settled on being a veterinary assistant. I continue to learn daily about their food, exercise and energy needs to be healthy, happy, content pets. I am blessed to make a living doing what I love and helping animals to be at their best! I currently have 4 dogs and 5 cats and besides my 2 grown kids and 2 grandkids they are the loves of my life!! I hope one day to be able to have a senior sanctuary for pets in my home to provide a safe loving atmosphere to seniors in their last years. I currently work 10 hour days , 4 days a week and mostly have weekends off. I can accommodate weekday evenings check ins and walks and anytime on weekends. I can come to your home and follow a specific guideline that you have scheduled for your pet. I understand how pets get accustomed to a certain routine and come to look forward to and expect scheduled playtime, meals and treats. I also know how they can get lonely while their people are away and just want some attention and cuddle time.

About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.
