“Jill & Thomas are great. They show up when requested, and take care of our pups (dogs) as needed, giving them a chance to go out, run, and do their business while we are gone. As always, thanks to both of you.”
“Cheryl is awesome!!! I was so worried about starting over with a puppy again but she has made this transition so wonderful. She has been great about providing daily updates and photos of our sweet Lucy throughout the day during her visits! I highly recommended her if you are searching for someone!!!”
“Jena-Lynn took excellent care of my high energy little Pomsky. I received photos and messages daily which really put my mind at ease. We came home to the same happy and energetic little buddy that we left. Jena-Lynn provided outstanding service. We will use her again and I highly recommend her services.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, my whole life, including my own. We had a senior dog that needed a point in his life to have diapers so we know how to medicate and take care of senior dogs also. I do work a part-time job very close to home. So if I need to come home or feel the need to let them out again, it’s flexible enough for me to leave if needed. I have two dogs so we have a fenced in yard and we also have a petitioned room with crates in the room, but my dogs only go in there if they want to rest. I do not crate my dogs, but you’re welcome to if that’s the routine for your dog.
“So thankful for Stephanie! Even in the awful rain & wind, she took my puppy on a little walk so he could have an opportunity to stretch his legs because I work long hours. She’s the best!”
About: I have had years of experience from my teen years as well as into my adult years taking care of furry little friends! I cared for many pets on my street growing up and I frequently care for our dog-brothers Jake (Golden Retriver), Easton (yellow lab), and Hattie (Silver lab). I also have my own little buddy Brinkley, a 9-month old mini Goldendoodle. He is friendly to all pets 🫶🏻 I also have two kids that enjoy all the animals and love to help take care of pets with me. We promise to treat your baby with the extra love and care as we would our own babies. I currently work part-time hours but my husband works from home so there is always someone at home to be with your special buddy. We provide a fenced in back yard and can accommodate many different sleeping arrangements. We have a furry buddy of our own named Brinkley who enjoys all kinds of animals and new friends. And I have two children who are always eager to play! As I mentioned, we have a fenced in yard, alotted pocket parks for lots of play, we allow pets on the furniture and beds as well, we can provide a separate space for your pet or your pet can sleep near us. However we can provide a home-like atmosphere for your baby, we will do it!
About: I’m the definition of a Dog LOVER. Ive been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and have volunteered at over 15 shelters. I believe dogs should be showered with LOVE, simply because they’re not with us for long, so expect your dog to get lots of love and affection when you book with me. I have 1 Australian Shepherd and she LOVES new friends, if you prefer your dog to be separate that can be arranged for boarding purposes! I also offer bathing/grooming, I’m very gentle and dogs seem to be very comfortable and relaxed with me. I own my own business, so I can give your dog lots of attention! I can do play time with them during house visits, and even take them on a run to get out some of the zoomies they might have! I live right on the Riverfront so there is LOTS of grass and beautiful scenery. This town is known for having pets and being SUPER dog-friendly, so long beautiful walks/runs is something your dog will LOVE for sure!!
“Aline is so great for our pups!! She’s attentive and patient with our three maniacs. She’s great at staying in touch and SO flexible with our schedule changes. Book with her now :)!”

Thelma K.
“⸻ To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to write this reference for Thelma Klase who is seeking opportunities as a dog sitter for small and medium-sized dogs. I have had the pleasure of knowing Thelma for more than 30 years and I can confidently recommend her as a responsible, caring, and trustworthy individual with a natural love for animals. Thelma provides a warm, family-friendly environment that makes dogs feel right at home. Her clean, securely fenced-in yard offers plenty of space for exercise and playtime, ensuring that dogs are safe and happy during their stay. She is attentive to each dog’s needs, whether it’s administering medication, following a special diet, or simply offering extra cuddles and companionship. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated she is to the animals in her care, treating them as if they were her own. Any dog owner would be lucky to have someone as compassionate and reliable as Thelma looking after their pet. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Sincerely, Charles Klase”

“Divya is awesome you can tell she really cares about the animals and she is really good at communication I would definitely book with her again”
Danyelle T.
“Danyelle has watched my dogs a couple of times now, and I am BEYOND satisfied with her care. I felt like I could trust her almost immediately upon meeting her for the first time. During our initial consultation, she was very engaged and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. Every time she has cared for my dogs, she has been sure to keep me updated with details of her visit as well as send me pictures. I’ve never felt more at ease when away on vacation, and Danyelle is the first person I recommend to friends and family if they ever need coverage for their pets!”
