“Melissa was excellent! We are so grateful for her help with the cats, leaving us detailed updates and SO MANY pictures. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy vacation knowing that our girls were taken care of so well. THANK YOU!!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all sizes for family & friends, and they have relied on me to feed and walk their pets I currently work a 9-5 so I have afternoons and weekends to care of your fur babies. I’m available most weekends and weekdays after 6 pm I have a large fenced back yard filled with toys and my big gentle giant dog Shay that I can crate if needed to or the other way around

“Denali was great at communicating with us. She provided lots of updated photos. She was also so tidy when we gathered all of our supplies at pick-up. Such attention to detail. :)”


“Makalli is such a wonderful Pet Sitter! She’s flexible, punctual, and is considerate and gentle with even the most skittish fur babies. This was the first time our kitties had a pet sitter outside of the family, and at first they were scared, but Makalli was consistently calm and patient with them, and soon they were happy and comfortable with her. She’s wonderful to send updates every day with pictures so you know your babies are playing and eating and safe while you’re gone. I had spotty service on my cell several times while we were out of town and anytime I would miss an update, all it took was for me to check in with Makalli once and she would quickly get back to me, happy to resend her update along with all the pictures. We’ll definitely trust her to hang with our kitties again when we need a sitter in the future! It’s such a relief to know we have someone so responsible and loving to animals that we can rely on.”


“Brenda has watched my cat Bug for me twice now. Once over Christmas break in 2016 and again in the summer of 2017. Both times she has done an excellent job of taking care of Bug. I live further out of town than most, but I still know she'll be there taking great care of my pets while I'm away.”


“Keilea did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs! I really appreciated her super fast response to our drop-in visit request and excellent communication with re-confirmation, logistics, etc. She showed up on time, got our dogs figured out quickly and even got our picky-eater to finish her dinner. Highly recommended!”


“Aleta did a great job with drop-in visits for my cat Sophie. Since Sophie is not very social, Aleta never got to meet or see her during her visits. So, to let me know that Sophie was okay, she gave me daily check-ins by letting me know that she had ate the food she had put out and was drinking water, when she filled the gravity fed waterer, and if there was anything strange. It was a great comfort, since I was on a long trip out of state, and it was the first time Sophie had been alone. This was much less stressful on Sophie too. I highly recommend Aleta, and I will use her again.”


About: As a former K9 officer, I bring unmatched experience and dedication to pet care. My background in training and handling highly skilled working dogs gives me a unique understanding of animal behavior, ensuring your pet receives expert attention, love, and safety. Your furry friend will be in the hands of someone who genuinely understands and respects their unique personalities, making me more than just a pet sitter—I’m your partner in keeping your pets happy, healthy, and loved. After years of working as a K9 officer, I decided to turn my passion for dogs into a business dedicated to their well-being and development. Drawing from my extensive experience training and caring for highly skilled working dogs, I launched my own dog training and boarding service. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog can thrive. Whether it’s teaching obedience, addressing behavioral challenges, or offering a comfortable home-away-from-home, I’m committed to delivering personalized care and expert guidance for dogs and their owners. When dogs stay with me, they become part of my extended family. I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re away from home. Every dog in my care receives personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and affection tailored to their unique personality and needs. From maintaining their daily routines to ensuring they feel calm and happy, I go above and beyond to create a stress-free experience. Whether its exercise, or just sitting by their side, I treat each dog as if they were my own, ensuring they’re happy, healthy, and cared for every step of the way.

About: My name is skylia, I hope you see how affordable I am, not only am I affordable but I love animals and I always make sure that they are loved and taken care of! If you need someone to give medication, or need someone to make sure your animal is well taken care of I am your girl. I can take dogs on walks, play fetch with them, and even cuddle with them. If you need pictures and updates I love sharing how your animal is doing. I am also really responsible and will call or text if I feel something is unusual during my care. I have a very flexible schedule I am a small business owner who is starting my clientele with being a independent nail tech. So I have a lot of free time. I will like to make sure the routine stays the same and make it feel like the owner is still home! As well as play and adapt to the way the pet does things. I love to bond with the animals and doing that would be giving pets, and cuddles.

“Victoria did a great job dropping in to care for our fur child Apollo! She even watered outside plants a few times to keep them looking good. Apollo was happy and well cared for when we arrived home last evening. Thank you Victoria!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Was raised in the country so we always had animals around. Cared for my dog and cat since they were babies, and have cared for my sisters 12 year old dog many times. I work from home unless I’m traveling, which I know my travel schedule far in advance. I’ll be around all day to love on and care for your babies like I would my own. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated as my own. Cuddling is always allowed. We’d take regular visits to the dog park if you feel comfortable or just throw the ball all day if that’s what she/he needs.

About: I am the owner of a cat and primary care giver to my family’s dogs when they are out of town. Have taken care of puppies and senior dogs. I have experienced with taken care of multiple dog households and also giving medication to dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to give my full attention to any pets you have. I can be there as frequently as needed for your animals. I have plenty of time on my hands to play, walk and care your pets. I am attentive care giver. When pets are out side I will make sure fence is in good shape to keep pets in and water bowls are filled especially on hot summer days. When temperatures are extreme I make sure when pets need to go out side they are only outside for a certain safe amount of time. I am patient with skittish pets and will play with hyper pets. I am experienced in senior dog care. I understand that each pet has their own unique needs and will follow and details they need to thrive.

About: I've always owned dogs big and small, and my family and friends have always looked to me for pet help! I've also spent time working for a pet resort so I'm very well trained and certified I've taken on a part job to specifically to open up my schedule during the weekday mornings to care for peoples pets while they work so there's no need to worry about them being bored alone at home! I will make sure to have you give me a rundown of your pets personality and quirks so I can better understand the pet i'm working with and what will be best for them! And I'm pet CPR certified and trained in dog behavior so I'm very good at spotting their needs!


“Berkley did an excellent job of taking care of my two cats over a 5 day period. They were well-cared for while I was out of town! She is reliable and enthusiastic. I recommend her.”


About: I've been around dogs pretty much my whole life. I have a huge love for dogs! I can even come pick up poop at your home if needed! I work part time with a schedule that changes a lot, so we would have to schedule around that. I am also a college student so I would love to get my hands on more dogs to help with the stress! If a leash is provided, I can ensure your dog will be safe going on walks with me. Let me knownif they pull so I can be prepared.

About: I've had the responsibility of dogs since I was 8 years old in the form of varying ages, breeds, and sizes. I have a Bachelors in Animal Science from WTAMU and 13 years of professional pet care experience for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and chickens (the whole farm essentially). I have experience administering medications and basic first aid and have a good understanding of what incidents warrant that dreaded trip to the vet. I personally have a 14 year old Dachshund and a nearly 2 old working German Shepherd that I'm in the process of protection training. I work with professional trainers and have been learning the trade through them to apply to my own animals. I'm able to offer check in house visits, structured training walks, and unstructured explore friendly walks. Safety is my top priority for both myself and the animals. I work full time Monday-Friday 8 to 5 and have dog club Monday and Thursday evenings. My availability will be mostly weekends with some evenings being case-by-case. My own dogs have very different routines, my working dog is much more structured and my pet dog has more free reign. Both are kennel trained, I believe kennel training is incredibly important for both the safety and sanity of your pets. In taking care of others pets I believe in following their routine as accurately as possible and respect the asks and wishes of the owners.
