“Rae and Dave are amazing caretakers! My dog is very attached to me so I needed the best pet sitters and I am so glad we had them! They gave her lots of love while I was away. I received daily photos and updates about my dog. She was walked, played with, and snuggled. They went ABOVE and BEYOND to help Skylar settle into their home while we were away. The fenced in back yard was awesome for exercise and bathroom breaks. My dog Skylar is a finicky eater. Rae worked with her and went the extra mile to get her to eat each day. I did not worry once on my trip as I knew my dog Skylar was in great hands the entire time I was gone! When I picked her up, she was happy and had adjusted well to their home! Rae and Dave are simply the best. They have a dog of their own so they understand how important it is to have a great pet sitter while on vacation!”
“Thanks again for another great visit! Journey loves staying with Bill, which makes for worry-free vacations. She is well taken care of and makes herself right at home. She gets plenty of walks, which she loves, and we know she gets plenty of snuggles. We are grateful!!”
“Justin took great care of Luke and Leo! They were happy and well looked after. We’re very pleased with his service and will definitely use it again. Highly recommend!”
“Julianne is fantastic! Responsive, attentive, and caring, she made Taco feel right at home with plenty of space to run around both inside and outside. We highly recommend Julianne for all of your fur baby’s needs!”
“My dogs always have such a good time with Dianne that they don’t want to leave, literally! One of mine will run back inside and jump on Dianne‘s couch, begging to stay! Thanks again for taking excellent care of my pups!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 11. Mostly my own family’s pet and occasionally a friend or family member’s pet. Our pets are our family. I can stop by your home twice a day for feedings, walks, litter care, etc during the week or it can be arranged on the weekends if I am not booked For boarding, we have a spacious backyard for the fur babies to run around in as well as a quiet neighborhood to go on walks I can feed your pet according to their dietary needs and preferences, take them out of their crate if they are crate trained, etc. I will definitely make sure your pet gets love!
“Chris and Erika were great! Their pup, Kinzie made for a great play buddy for our dog, Boba during his stay. Sitters were very responsive to our inquiry and questions. Would recommend them to anyone!”
“My two (big) dogs stayed with Amy over Christmas. It was a first time experience for us and I am so thankful that we picked Amy! She sent us pics and updates daily and I could tell my boys were happy, relaxed, peaceful, and loved in her home. They have only stayed with my mom in the past and I’m so glad that we had a positive experience all around. Amy is kind, professional, calm, and trustworthy. Thank you for taking such good care of our boys 💕🐾”
“This was our first time having our puppy sleep over with a sitter. Kat was very patient with me and answering all my questions. I never felt pressured or rushed! Kat sent pictures and was prompt with responding to my check ins. I will definitely use Kat again.”
About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need. I have a fenced yard and one high energy doggie that eats twice a day. Potty breaks are always available. I have 2 gentle, loving cats that enjoy being around other people and dogs.
“Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life and loved them each so much. I am experienced with a gentle heart and genuine love for animas. I’m currently home all week raising my kids and cats. I’m available anytime throughout the week to take care of your animals needs and wants! ❤️ I have a fenced in yard and can easily crate your animal inside my house. I have three friendly cats that sleep on their own level of the house at night.
About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, I provide compassionate, attentive care that feels just like home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or a calm walk, I adapt my approach to meet each pet’s unique personality and health needs. What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and ability to earn trust quickly, from both pets and their owners. I have a golden doodle of my own so caring for pets is what I do all day. He is very energetic but also loves his naps. I am a college student so during the summer i am with him 24/7 Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, stress-free, and loving environment. I stick closely to the pet’s normal routine—feeding times, walks, play, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medication to keeping favorite toys or beds in the right spot. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I’m always alert to signs of stress or discomfort. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I keep a regular routine and make sure all pets have plenty of room to play, nap, and feel at home. Since I have a friendly Goldendoodle, pets who stay with me will also have a built-in playmate—unless they prefer solo time, in which case I provide quiet areas just for them. I send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Amy P.
“It is my genuine pleasure to recommend Amy for any position in pet care. She is a warm, nurturing soul by nature, and her love for animals is evident in every interaction I’ve witnessed. Whether she’s caring for her own pets or looking after someone else’s, Amy approaches each animal with patience, gentleness, and a deep sense of responsibility. What stands out most about Amy is not only her attentiveness, but also her willingness to learn and adapt. She doesn’t just go through the motions—she takes the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, needs, and quirks. I’ve seen her research new techniques, ask questions, and go the extra mile to make sure every pet in her care feels safe and loved. I would entrust Amy with any of my animals without hesitation. She has both the heart and the work ethic to excel in this field, and I know she will bring warmth, reliability, and dedication to any pet care role she takes on. Sincerely, Maggie Holliday”
