“Trina did amazing!! She kept us updated with any concerns and/or questions she had along with sending us pictures, which we appreciated! It was super late when we got home, so didn’t get to see her but Max was sound asleep, which makes us know that he was very comfortable! We will definitely be reaching out to Trina again!! We know Max likes to bark, so hopefully if she’s available, she’ll watch him again!! 😀”

“Ashlyn did a great job watching Luna! We appreciate her caring for our dog while we were away!”
“Machalah did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs (one who is a senior) & cat while we were out of town. She regularly sent picture updates; my fur babies obviously received lots of TLC. Machalah also left the house very neat. Will definitely use Machalah’s services again.”
“Skylynn (aka Ashton!) was fantastic watching my two large dogs. We have a Doberman and a Dalmatian who are pretty high energy and they were absolutely exhausted when we got back from our weekend trip. They were clearly well taken care of and the house was tidy when we returned. The updates and communication throughout the weekend was spectacular and put our minds to rest about the care my pups were receiving. Highly recommend and will be reaching out in the future again!”
“Great communication and left the dog happy and the house clean!”
“Emily always takes great care of our fur baby! She sends pictures to let you know how they are doing and keeps you informed. I highly recommend her.”
“Haley was excellent! So attentive to our dog in every way. When we came back home, we could tell that he was thoroughly exhausted and happy from their full day of fetch and cuddles.”
“Justine did a great job with our sometimes anxious dog. She stayed at the house and took care of everything for us. Her help is so appreciated.”
“Brendle was delightful and our 2 dogs had the best time with her. She hung out with them for 5 hours while we went to watch our son’s championship game. Brendle took them on a 2 mile hike, played ball at the park, and they were thoroughly and happily exhausted at the end of her stay. I cannot say enough nice things about Brendle! She is a gem!”
“Chris was outstanding with our Peppermint.”
“Great sitter for our two spoiled dogs! We were on an international trip and Zoe was very flexible and able to do overnights which eased our minds with a 14 week old puppy. Will use again!”
“We love when Aelish stays with our dogs. She worked hard to (successfully!) earn the trust of our anxious/timid boy and seems to be loved by our high energy girl. She also left our home cleaner than we left it! She’s our go-to when we have to travel.”
About: I have looked after both dogs and cats for multiple years of friends and family. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personalized care I give to each pet. I treat your pet like family, whether that means sticking closely to their routine, giving them extra cuddles, or understanding their unique quirks and needs. I have experience with a wide range of pets, including dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I'm comfortable administering medication and even handling leash reactivity for dogs. Clear communication, reliability, and genuine love for animals are at the core of everything I do. I currently work full-time but will be leaving soon to continue my education in a Masters program! I am available most Wednesdays and weekends as well as majority of evenings during the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are keeping their routine consistent, making them feel safe and loved, and respecting your space as if it were my own. I take the time to learn your pet’s habits, feeding schedule, walk routine if applicable, and favorite toys or activities. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or a long walk, I adjust to what your pet needs most. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Cleanliness, clear communication, and attention to detail are part of every visit.
“Wanda and Steve are amazing and so accommodating and flexible! It was great knowing my boy was in good hands while I was away and I received daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend them!!!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Throughout my life there has always been a dog in my home and 3 dogs at once for the most. My family has rescued dogs and given them the best second chance at life possible! Those dogs have come from horrible conditions and were met with countless walks, treats, and cuddles when they found their forever home with my family and I. My animal care experience ranges from puppies as young as 6 weeks old and senior dogs who need regular medication. My love for animals has extended far beyond my own as my friends rely on me to watch their pets when they cannot. My love for animals can even be seen in my education as I am minoring in assistance dog training at my university. This program has given me countless hours of caring for puppies and training dogs around 1 1/2 years old to be service dogs. I have extensive education in dog behavior and training and love finding ways to involve animals in my daily life. I have a singular dog in my home right now but am free throughout the day to check in and walk your pets! I have a few dog sitting gigs throughout the summer but plenty of time during the day to make sure your pets needs are met! I have one dog in my home and she is treated like a queen! We regularly play outside, get pup cups, go for walks, and cuddle on the couch. I am always finding excuses to buy her new toys and take silly pictures of her. When I am taking care of clients pets I treat them like my own while following the owners specific guidelines. I am good at sticking to feeding timelines and giving medication if that is needed. I love them like my own so they are happy while their owners are away.
About: The house my parents moved into when I was only 4 weeks old was unfortunately a dumping ground for unwanted animals. Before I could even walk I was cuddling with any animal that showed up at our door. This instilled a passion within me that I can finally turn into a profession. From Rescue and fostering to training dogs and showing horses, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Being so heavily involved and rescue, I have history and experience in dealing with reactive and/or selective dogs. For this reason I will not only keep my two bigger dogs secured from each other but also your fur baby. I use a crate and rotate as a rule, I also have baby gates that are actually attached to the door frames and almost every door frame of my home. I have a 6 ft chain link fence that is separated into two yards for safety. I also offer pet waste removal services. Feel free to send me a note if you have any questions. After a successful 25year business management career, I am now turning my lifetime passion of animal care into a profession. Currently my new animal care business is my only job so all my time will be for the furbabies! While I'm home, my cats and dogs have free roam of the house. I use a crate and rotate regimen as needed as well as baby gates at every doorway. My entire backyard is a 6 ft chain length fence and I have it separated into two secured areas for exercise. Inside, one room is a dedicated cat room for litterboxes toys etc. The other two bedrooms will be dedicated safe spaces used for play, overnight stays, or whatever the situation calls for.
“I had an amazing experience with Ali! She took such great care of Bella and ensured she was happy and comfortable. Her genuine love for animals really shone through. I received regular updates and adorable photos. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for your outstanding service!”
“Taylor was great! My cat, Stanley, really seemed to connect with her and was his normal, happy self when I got home from a week-long vacation. Normally, he gets depressed and won’t eat while I’m gone but that wasn’t the case this time, it’s obvious Taylor gave him the TLC he needed while I was away since he is such a social and playful cat. I received daily updates and photos while I was away, and Taylor also left my apartment in great condition. I’ve already re-booked Taylor for another stay for an upcoming trip out of town and am so grateful to have found a sitter that my cat genuinely seems to enjoy! Definitely recommend!”
“Stacy was amazing, and I would definitely leave my animals in her care again. During our trip, I felt they were in good hands which allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Stacy kept in touch with us each day to let us know they were happy. Even our shy one curled up with her the first day!”
