“Thank you June and Wade for taking good care of our dog for a long week+ vacation. Thank you for daily pics and updates on how she adjusted over the time. Grateful for her being able to relax at your home, giving me peace of mind.”


“Jessica was flexible and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Selah in her hands an we would definitely use her again. Selah seemed to love being with Jessica and her daughter. They even took her in the car for an outing which she loves.”


“Shalyn & Joseph really set my mind at ease when dropping off my pup. They kept me updated with pictures & detailed messages about how he was doing. Wally seemed like such a happy/ tired boy when he came home & I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of him!”

“Carolyn is very observant and has great instincts when it comes to understanding how Aspen s feeling and what she needs to feel safe. Carolyn is also sensitive to adjust her methods - in Aspen’s case - the way safety gates are used, to ensure safety and the best experience. She’s really a wonderful pet sitter.”

“Danielle was very communicative and took care of our dogs like they were her own. Highly recommend. Our dogs got all the love and a daily walk which they definitely enjoyed.”

“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Carla and her family were such a great match for our two dogs. Our 2 girls came home happy & tired. The dogs got even more love, attention and exercise than normal and Carla gave me so many updates while I was away. As a pet parent we will 100% be using her again as it was one of the best experiences we've had and we had the best piece of mind while we were gone.”

“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”

“Cheryl and Jim were fantastic!! They took great care of our old girl, and treated her like family. She has some specific dietary requirements that they handled perfectly, sharing updates and pictures the whole time we were gone. Great communication, made us feel at ease, and we would not hesitate calling on them again. Highly recommended!!”


“Tricia was awesome! Her dogs are so cute & you can tell she really loves animals as this is all she does so her main priority is your babies. We got so many texts while we were away which we thought was amazing. Knowing our babies were happy & doing good made us feel really good about leaving them with her. They loved her & she loved them too & my little Bella was super tired when we got her back and napping all night which was such a relief. We can’t wait to have them stay with her again and I’m sure they’ll be excited too!”

“Dickson really cares about my dog Arlo! Although Arlo was very anxious and nervous, he quickly warmed up to Dickson. I can tell Dickson is very passionate about caring for dogs.”


“Melynda was amazing, she responded quickly when I messaged her. She made sure we had a meet & greet prior to our dogs stay which was great so we knew everyone would get a long & so she had a more thorough understanding of the care our dogs needed. We got picture & text updates each day which I loved so knew my babies were happy. They came home very happy & tired even our little 6 month old corgi was napping all night which is rare for her lol!”

“Michele was AMAZING with our pup! From the moment we met her, we could tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She sent us fun updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly well cared for (and maybe a little spoiled in the best way!). Michele is reliable, warm, and goes above and beyond—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“This is the 2nd time we’ve used Derek for watching our dog Tommy. He is very dependable and I’m really comfortable leaving my dog in his care. I love that he takes Tommy on walks, and he and his family all seem to really enjoy being part of it. We will continue to use him for caring for our dog.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 14, and they are part of my love language! I've taken care of and have had a wide variety of pets, dog sizes, and different medical needs. Part of my life's calling is to be with animals and give them all the love. We live on a 7-acre farmette, with land to roam and play, and forest as well. We have a barn that houses 23 free range chickens and ducks. These are also my pets who I love dearly. I have 2 cats, a brother and sister names George and Lucy who are total love bugs. My daughter Teagan is almost 6, and has been around animals since she was a baby. I am currently working full time, 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday. I work remotely from my house on Fridays. I am off on Saturday and Sunday all day. We live on a 7-acre farm in a two-story house with privacy. Our house has plenty of room to accommodate different dog sizes. Our acreage also provides plenty of room for dogs to run and play!
About: I bring positive energy, patience, and lots of love to every dog I care for. I work with dogs of all ages and focus on creating a stress-free, fun, and comforting experience through play, cuddles, walks, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog's personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved-- and I keep owners connected with updates and photos so they know their pup is in great hands. I am home from work for the summer. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year, so I am very flexible and can make my own schedule. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs/ requests. I have a fully fenced backyard, and a senior female dog who is super social with other dogs and people. I will work with you to ensure your dog's needs are met and his/ her schedule remains the same as in their permanent home.
“She's simply the best! Reliable, caring, and good at keeping in touch. Sending me photos daily and brief updates on what Sugar is doing. Thank you, Beth! You made taking this vacation a little easier knowing Sugar was in good hands.”

“I felt totally at ease leaving my dogs with Jackie. She kept me updated with photos and videos every day, and the dogs were very happy with her. I plan on booking with her again!”

“Sheri is very competent and caring with our two cats. One of them needs thyroid meds and she was able to administer them to a sometimes cranky cat. I look forward to having Sheri care for them in the future!”

“Natalie is really great at what she does. She fills me in on what my dog does while walking him and do on… she’s seriously awesome! Flexible and kind. My Bohdi (black lab puppy) lovesssss her!”

“Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....”

“Alyssa took excellent care of our kitties and especially our IBD cat who requires special food and frequent eating. She went above and beyond what she needed to do with washing the feeding bowls, sweeping litter and getting food bowls outside for our feral kitty. She is conscientious and super reliable in a timely manner. Easy to talk to and willing to do exactly what you need done. I will definitely hire Alyssa again!”


“Iwonka is an exceptional pet sitter! She went above and beyond by sending us videos of our furry friend, playing with him, and even brushing him. Gandalf was in great hands, and we highly recommend Iwonka for any pet sitting needs!”


“Carolyn was amazing! She went above and beyond, even taking thoughtful steps such as taking my trash can out for trash day despite me not requesting her to. She provided great photos and updates on my cats that really helped me to feel assured that they were in good hands while I was away. She even took the time to try and get my boys to come out of their shells a little! Would definitely recommend!!”


“Rachael was great! She handled our indecisiveness very well. I loved the pictures every time she came out to take care of the cats. She is a very kind human. We would absolutely use Rachael again! Highly recommended.”


“This is our second time using Cecilia to help us watch our animals and we couldn’t be happier! She is so caring to our cats, Finley & Mr Mann. They enjoy her company and we get pictures almost everyday. Both times one or both boys have been sick and she was just wonderful. She knew exactly what they needed and took care of them like her own. We will absolutely use her in the future if we ever need help again.”
About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

About: I’ve grown up around cats and absolutely love taking care of them. I’ve always wished I could have one of my own, so I genuinely enjoy every chance I get to spend time with cats! I’m experienced with feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and care they need. Your cat will be treated like family with me!

Your pets will never feel overlooked—they’ll have someone present, patient, and genuinely happy to spend time with them. Here’s a refined paragraph that includes everything: I take the safety, comfort, and routine of every pet in my care very seriously. I follow their daily schedule closely so that—even though they’ll miss you—their days feel familiar and uninterrupted. I also care for your home while you’re away, keeping everything neat, tidy, and just as you left it. With experience caring for senior dogs, I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, calm environment and keeping their personal spaces fresh and comfortable. You can trust that both your pet and your home will be well looked after.

“Shalyn & Joseph really set my mind at ease when dropping off my pup. They kept me updated with pictures & detailed messages about how he was doing. Wally seemed like such a happy/ tired boy when he came home & I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of him!”

“Carolyn is very observant and has great instincts when it comes to understanding how Aspen s feeling and what she needs to feel safe. Carolyn is also sensitive to adjust her methods - in Aspen’s case - the way safety gates are used, to ensure safety and the best experience. She’s really a wonderful pet sitter.”

“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Carla and her family were such a great match for our two dogs. Our 2 girls came home happy & tired. The dogs got even more love, attention and exercise than normal and Carla gave me so many updates while I was away. As a pet parent we will 100% be using her again as it was one of the best experiences we've had and we had the best piece of mind while we were gone.”

“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”

“Cheryl and Jim were fantastic!! They took great care of our old girl, and treated her like family. She has some specific dietary requirements that they handled perfectly, sharing updates and pictures the whole time we were gone.

“Melynda was amazing, she responded quickly when I messaged her. She made sure we had a meet & greet prior to our dogs stay which was great so we knew everyone would get a long & so she had a more thorough understanding of the care our dogs needed. We got picture & text updates each day which I loved so knew my babies were happy. They came home very happy & tired even our little 6 month old corgi was napping all night which is rare for her lol!”

“Michele was AMAZING with our pup! From the moment we met her, we could tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. She sent us fun updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly well cared for (and maybe a little spoiled in the best way!). Michele is reliable, warm, and goes above and beyond—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“This is the 2nd time we’ve used Derek for watching our dog Tommy. He is very dependable and I’m really comfortable leaving my dog in his care. I love that he takes Tommy on walks, and he and his family all seem to really enjoy being part of it. We will continue to use him for caring for our dog.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 14, and they are part of my love language! I've taken care of and have had a wide variety of pets, dog sizes, and different medical needs. Part of my life's calling is to be with animals and give them all the love. We live on a 7-acre farmette, with land to roam and play, and forest as well. We have a barn that houses 23 free range chickens and ducks. These are also my pets who I love dearly. I have 2 cats, a brother and sister names George and Lucy who are total love bugs. My daughter Teagan is almost 6, and has been around animals since she was a baby. I am currently working full time, 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday. I work remotely from my house on Fridays. I am off on Saturday and Sunday all day. We live on a 7-acre farm in a two-story house with privacy. Our house has plenty of room to accommodate different dog sizes. Our acreage also provides plenty of room for dogs to run and play!
About: I bring positive energy, patience, and lots of love to every dog I care for. I work with dogs of all ages and focus on creating a stress-free, fun, and comforting experience through play, cuddles, walks, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog's personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved-- and I keep owners connected with updates and photos so they know their pup is in great hands. I am home from work for the summer. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year, so I am very flexible and can make my own schedule. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs/ requests. I have a fully fenced backyard, and a senior female dog who is super social with other dogs and people. I will work with you to ensure your dog's needs are met and his/ her schedule remains the same as in their permanent home.
“She's simply the best! Reliable, caring, and good at keeping in touch. Sending me photos daily and brief updates on what Sugar is doing. Thank you, Beth! You made taking this vacation a little easier knowing Sugar was in good hands.”


“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”


“I had a rescue adult dog, I did not know how it was going to go since I had never left her completely alone since I got her 3 years ago. Stella made me feel comfortable with the whole process. I cannot say enough on how pleased I am, from the updates while I was gone, to how well and smoothly everything went. It looks like my dog made some friends during her 9 day visit as she is much more vocal now, letting me know she's the boss!!!! Thank you Stella”

“We had a wonderful experience with JoAnne. Our lab dog, Charlie got very spoiled for the short time we had him stay with JoAnne. She kept us informed oh how he was doing and sent us pics to put us at ease. We will definitely use her again!!! Charlie got a doggie bag to take home with a tennis bag and treats. Very nice of her to make him feel so special.”

“Loved having Jess take care of our big pup! He was welcomed into her family for our extended vacation and he immediately felt comfortable and at home! (He’s a little anxious so this was a big deal!). We got regular updates and photos. Will 100% use her again!”

“Carissa was very sweet with my dogs, Charlie and Murphy. She sent pictures of my dogs being spoiled every day. I didn’t have any worries leaving them in her care. Hope to be a repeat customer!”
