Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”

“We were very nervous to leave our senior kitty for a week since he needs saline infusions everyday to treat his kidney disease.

We're very thankful to have such an excellent petsitter to care for our boy when we're away!”

“Lori is absolutely wonderful! I am one of those people that avoids leaving because I don’t want to leave my cat because she is my baby. Lori came by beforehand to meet our cat and learn about her habits and care routine. Lori was very kind and sweet and took excellent care of our shy cat. She even worked with her and got her to come out briefly. Lori really cared for our cat like she was her own and we are so grateful and appreciative for Lori! We would absolutely and highly recommend Lori to any cat or pet parent!”

“Courtney was amazing caring for Peanut. Peanut likes to hide when we are gone. We did show her his hiding spot. She was great at sending us pictures of him. And as time went on, he even came out of his hiding spot and rubbed up against her leg. So that was amazing!! She took excellent care of him and I would highly recommend her!”
“She took really good care of my adult cat and 7 month old kitten. Both cats were properly feed and comfortable. She was flexible to last minute scheduling and arrangement modifications. I would definitely book with her again!”

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”

I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own.

Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)
“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”
“Darcie really helped us out, accepting our last-minute booking for our Giant Schnauzer puppy, Iris, without hesitation! Iris undoubtedly had a great time, with access to lots of sunshine and outside play in the large fenced-in yard - just what she needs. We will definitely reach out to Darcie in the future!”

About: I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I donate a bag of treats each stay from my dog’s social media sponsor. We take a walk every single day. I am a teacher so I am out of the house from 7:45am - 4:00 pm Monday-Friday. I have some flexibility to leave early if need be. During lunch break, I use my Furbo camera to talk to my dog and launch a treat for him. I usually take my dog for a walk as soon as I get home from work. Weekends, I am typically home most the day. I have a ranch style single-family home that has a doggy door to a full turf and fully fenced back yard. I have the sweetest Golden Retriever that loves having other doggos come over. Warning: your pet will get lots of love and may not want to leave.

Pets are allowed to be on the couch and can have free range in the 7’ privacy fence.

I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. When I was old enough, I had begged my mom to ask her friends if they needed dogs to be walked/watched. As I grew older, I began pet-sitting for more lovely people in my community, like teachers, friends, and even hairstylists. I also volunteer at King's Harvest Animal Shelter whenever I can. It makes me proud to know I can be trusted with the furry families of my loved ones. I work a part time job, so I still have lots of open availability for your babies. Being able to keep an eye on your pets is my priority, so days I am working I will not be available. (Unless you don’t need me until after my shift 😉 I do not currently offer boarding as I do live with other people. However, in your home, I will put your animals' comfort above all else. Every pet is different, so it's my job to learn what works best and give the best care for them.
About: I’ve been a dog person my whole life. I also have experience with birds, cats, and reptiles. Taking care of animals is something I love to do! I’m currently a student, and have a very flexible schedule. I can do early morning, midday, or later visits as well. Whatever fits your needs. Safety is very important to me. I have a pet bird and a dog of my own. Caution and care with animals is essential for everyone’s safety! I’d never want to put an animal in an unsafe situation.
About: As a dedicated dog sitter, I offer a personalized and compassionate approach tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in puppy training, I help young dogs build essential habits. I focus on building trust with each dog, giving them the one-on-one attention they deserve. From playtime to gentle walks and administering medications when needed, my goal is to create a stress-free, happy environment so you can be confident your pet is in great hands. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to offer consistent, round-the-clock attention, with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles built right into my routine. My home is a pet-friendly space where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Because I’m here throughout the day, I can easily adjust to each pet’s unique schedule and needs, whether it’s for feeding, exercise, or a quiet moment to relax. When pets are in my home, I provide a cozy, secure space where they’re treated like family. They have access to safe, pet-friendly areas for playing, resting, and exploring, along with daily exercise tailored to their energy level. I maintain a structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routines intact to provide comfort and familiarity. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requests.

“Taylor was so great! She was super communicative and accommodating. My dog sometimes struggles with separation anxiety, but she was just living her best life in Taylor’s. I would book again, and I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends.”
“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”
