“Another great visit from Nikki. She even helped us out by bringing on all of our Amazon packages that we weren’t expecting, since the weather was bad. Thanks so much, Nikki!”


“Devon was an excellent sitter for our cat Moose. She fed him and played with him while we were away for a week. Devon was responsible, quick to respond, sent photos of Moose everyday, and wrote about each visit. Good communication and clearly loves what she does! Cats don’t always warm up to people right away, but Moose did when they first met. Devon even came to meet us and Moose before booking which was very helpful! I will definitely be using Devon again!!”


“I really hope we can do this again together. My girls were so happy and well cared for. I really liked the updates and jr was lovely seeing how relaxed my girls were even though I’d been gone for five days. Jordan took notes when we left and it helped to ease my mind. She was just wonderful.”


“Haley was a wonderful caretaker for our two cats! We got plenty of updates and pictures. Both cats took to her immediately and soon they were playing and making biscuits 🥰. We appreciate the time she spent getting to know them and would definitely book again!”


About: I have had a dog since I was born. My dog and I grew up together, learning together. Saying that I’ve had my fair share of experience being with pets. I have always had the responsibility to learn how to take care of them and their needs and we can’t forget having fun with toys and walks. Recently my dog sadly passed away and I would love nothing more being pets again. I currently work night shift during the week. So I’ll be available during the day after 7 am for playtime and walks and making sure they are fed and whatever they may need. I also have the weekends off Unfortunately I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have lots of grass for them to run around in and live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. Since I’m used to having two dogs in the home, I can accommodate most specific needs.

“Definitely 5 stars for Stacie for her first time visits with our cat. Stacie came to our home 4 times while we were away. When we arrived home, our cat was calm and happy. Stacie is very communicative, a kind and caring person. I would not hesitate (and will) book Stacie again! Clearly recommended.”


About: I treat every pet like family—dogs, cats, and every animal in between. I take time to understand each animal’s unique personality, preferences, and routines. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs extra exercise or a shy cat who wants a cozy lap and quiet company, I meet pets where they’re at. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to the little things that matter most—like a favorite toy, feeding schedule, or bedtime habit. Plus, I keep you updated with thoughtful, consistent communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can visit in the mornings before work, during my lunch break, or in the evenings. On weekdays, I’m typically available for up to three visits a day, and I often have even more availability on weekends if needed. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company. I make sure everything stays clean and calm, and I always respect your space as if it were my own. Every visit includes lots of love, attention, and updates so you know your pet is doing great.

I strive to provide an amazing life for my dogs, and have a schedule which allows me to provide love and companionship for more dogs throughout my community.

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine with availability in the mornings, evenings, and often during the day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 7. In my house hold we currently have three dogs and three cats. The cats all behave and I’ve taught the dogs various proper behaviors and tricks. I’ve helped watch new born puppies as well as older dogs and I’m very confident with taking care of any animal. I’m currently working a part-time along with college but I am completely free all day on Thursdays and Fridays to take care of your animals! Everyone handles their pets differently so I can just stick with the routine you currently have with your pets so as to not confuse them!

Samantha B.
“Sammy is the kind of dog mom we all aspire to be. She has two pups of her own (a medium and a large dog) and goes above and beyond for them. She even makes their food from scratch and leaves on Dog TV when she’s out! Crazy dog mom? No, the perfect dog mom. She genuinely loves dogs, lights up at the sight of one, and treats every pup like her own. You couldn’t ask for a more loving, responsible, and attentive person to care for your furry baby.”
