“Brie is a very experienced, conscientious and mindful pet sitter. Brie stayed in our home while we were away. She left our home and pets in tip-top shape. She had our pets' needs as her priority. One of our cats starting showing signs of diabetes a couple weeks before our trip that we were monitoring to reoprt back to the vet, but she was able to pinpoint other signs we weren't aware of so we really appreciated the extra medical attention. Brie also sent photos every day of our pets so we were assured of their comfort and happiness. That little extra goes a long way when you are out of town. This fall we have a longer trip planned, and we will absolutely book Brie again. She is Top-Notch!!”
“Amanda took good care of my two kitties. She left detailed descriptions of everything she did plus sent several pictures each day. I really liked seeing the pictures and knowing my kitties were ok. Thanks Amanda!!”
“Landon was wonderful with our cats! On his first visit, he went out of his way to spend extra time with them and made sure they were well cared for. He cleaned the litter box daily and was even kind enough to take out the trash. We’ll definitely be using Landon again!”

About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.
“I reached out to Pamela last minute to see if she could drop in in our dogs and she was able to. We have used her before so she was familiar with the house which made things very easy. I’m sure the boys loved her and she left an awesome report card. I highly recommend booking Pamela for your Rover needs!”
About: I would consider myself very experienced when it comes to caring for animals. I worked at a dog kennel where meeting and caring for all kinds of dogs was my everyday life. From the calm ones who need medication to the hyper ones who need an outlet, I was always happy to have the privilege of caring for them. At the kennel I did feeding, medications, play, doggy day care, and had many more responsibilities. I also have also taken my love for dogs to another level by fostering rescues. This is something that brings me so much joy, especially when they start out timid and I get to watch them come out of their shell. I recently adopted a puppy which has been so exciting! Unfortunately for the safety of his health this means I had to pause fostering. I think caring for your animals will help fill that hole in my life! HOUSE SITTING ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to having a puppy of my own I cannot do overnight stays. I absolutely can stay with your dogs throughout the day with a couple of breaks to take care of my own puppy. I am a full time employee for a flower shop typically working 8-3. If I gain clientele who are seeking availability during the day I am willing to switch to night shift but do not want to do so until I gain interest. As of now I am allowed long breaks so if you would like someone to care for your pet at lunch time I can. I would prefer to take clients after 3 PM. Please feel free to check in with me as my days off are varied! I treat all pets with the love and respect they deserve. I will do my best to always understand your pets boundaries and to earn their trust to give them all my love!
