Highly-rated overnight sitters - Lapaz
“Christina is a wonderful dog sitter. She literally helped me out when I was dealing with a personal crisis and needed an emergency sitter for my dog. She was able to connect with him & gain his trust quickly. Proof that good people are out there! Thanks a million Christina!! :)”
“We had a great experience with Alejandra! She sent daily photos, videos, and updates, so we always knew how Benji was doing. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Cinthia did an amazing job caring for my cats! she immediately communicated with me about how they were adjusting, sent photos, and was very friendly and easygoing when I reached out on short notice. My cats loved her and her kids!”
“Pam did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They were boarded at her home. We got daily updates, photos and videos. We have one very timid dog that she was very patient with and eventually our dog warmed up to Pam. Five star rating. Couldn’t recommend more highly Will use again.”
“Offered to give my wife and I a tour off his home. Sent photos and videos of our dog throughout his stay there. When we arrived we saw our dog happily running around in the yard.”
“Wonderful!! Katelyn and her family were so kind and helped me get a nervous pup into her home. She took care of her so well sending pics that were so comforting. She even slept near her a while to help calm her. I’m so grateful for such great care!”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Victoria was great with Penny! She watched our ~1 year old ~ 7 pound Cavapoo while we were here for a football game. Friday evening - Sunday morning. Victoria was very friendly and responsive! Penny felt right at home as soon as we showed her around Victorias place. Victoria went above and beyond for Penny and we’d definitely recommend her / plan to work with her again next time we bring Penny for a Football weekend. Penny got along well with Victoria’s dog Koco too. Thank you Victoria!”
“Fantastic! She took great in-home care of our high energy pups who usually struggle with separation anxiety - they did not! They were happy and well adjusted when we returned. She even replaced their treats - above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Lynn is an absolute Godsend! She provided me multiple updates daily including photos. She offered food and health recommendations as well as resources to review and research. Lynn pampered and spoiled ChiChi during our nearly weeklong vacation. I would trust her with my own life, not just my dog’s life. She’s that darn good! I will only use her from now on and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!! Thank you again Lynn!!! 🫶🏼”
“Lindsay is literally the definition of a GODSEND when it comes to dog sitting & taking care of your pet when you have to leave him or her behind going out of town. This was my second time leaving my dog (Hank) with Lindsay and her family, and for as long as I live here in the South Bend/Michiana area I will never look elsewhere for a sitter. She truly treats ALL dogs as if they are her own, and ensures that each and every one of them has a remarkable experience under her care. I promise promise promise there is no better sitter in the area, so if you’re looking for someone to look after a pet you love so dearly, look no further because Lindsay & her family are the best there is. I will forever be thankful I found her & will continue to use her as often as I can throughout the near future!”
“Thank you for loving on our Sadie!!! From the meet and greet, I know Sadie would be in good hands with Leandra. She was calm and patient as it took out dog a bit to get warmed up. She kept us updated, was quick to respond to any questions we had and included photos! We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.

About: Your pet is welcome in my home! They will get lots of TLC, play time, feeding, walking & love. My house is small but live on 2 acres in the country. My yard is not fenced so I walk your pets on a leash & there are trails in the woods where they love to walk too. I also have a tie out if they dont do well on a leash & some are fine to free roam but they are never left unattended. I can take 2 small to medium dogs or 2 large or 1 giant dog. I will also transport your pet(s) to & from your home if needed. This will be an additional fee. I have been professionally petsitting for the past 17 years. References are supplied upon request. Any cancellation less than 7 days before stay begins will result in no refund provided.
“Casey recently spent the night with our senior cat who struggles with separation anxiety, and we returned to a very calm and happy kitty! Casey is always very communicative, sending photos and updates during her stay. We're completely comfortable having Casey stay in our home - she always leaves everything just as it was and is very neat and conscientious.”
About: Hi! I’m Kristina, a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 9 years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. 🐱❤️ I understand that cats need care on their terms! Whether your kitty is outgoing and affectionate or shy and prefers their space, I’ll take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced with senior cats, medication administration, and cats who need a little extra attention. From fresh food and litter boxes to playtime, cuddles, and plenty of updates for you, I’ll care for your cat like they’re one of my own. 🐾
About: I stand out from other sitters because I bring a rare combination of veterinary training, hands‑on clinical experience, and a lifetime of caring for animals of all sizes. I am a veterinary nurse graduate from Marian University Plymouth 2026, which means I approach every pet with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. Alongside my education, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in both large and small animal medicine, and during my several externships at Emergency, Specialty Hospitals, Private Practice and currently working at a veterinary clinic. These roles have given me extensive experience with senior pets, animals with medical needs, medication administration, safe animals handling and recognizing early signs of illness or stress — skills that most sitters don’t have. Beyond my clinical background, animals have been a central part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to shy or anxious pets. I also have a fountain in farm work which created a strong sense of responsibility and dedication. Your pets aren’t just watched — they’re cared for by someone who truly understands them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I’m currently working at a veterinary clinic with a consistent schedule. I work Tuesday–Friday, and depending on your location, I can stop by for mid‑day potty breaks during the week. I also follow a steady, work‑style rhythm, so I can visit in the mornings before my shift and return in the evenings for feeding, walks, or check‑ins. My weekends are even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for longer visits or extended care. Because of my profession and lifestyle, pet sitting blends seamlessly into my routine, and I make sure every pet receives dependable, attentive care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps pets comfortable. I like too follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and bedtime habits — because familiar patterns help reduce stress. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance so they feel relaxed even when their family is away. My goal is to provide care that feels seamless, trustworthy, and grounded in both compassion and professional experience.
About: I have only owned cats as a kiddo, I have helped watch friends and families cats at their place so know that cats are mostly easy peasy and like to do their own thing. I can give your cat the love they need or the space they need. They will be the one to let me know!
“Lindsay took great care of my cat while I was out of town. I received updates and pictures while I was away. I returned home to find my cat very happy and well taken care of. It was very comforting to know my cat was happy and getting loved on while I was away. Most importantly, I did not have to take my cat out of her home environment. I highly recommend Lindsay!”
“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
About: I’ve been sitting for neighbors cats and have had my own since I was a young girl! I love how self sufficient they can be, but can guarantee I will love on your fur babies or give them as much space as they require!
“Hanna is awesome! I am glad she has been there for me all of this time, and will miss her when she moves. Anyone who needs someone to look after their babies near her new home would be more than pleased with her responsiveness and understanding. Thanks Hanna for all you’ve done!”
About: Hi! I’m Paige, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 14 years. Caring for pets isn’t just my job—it’s something I genuinely love. I’m currently a professional dog groomer and have also managed boarding facilities, worked in a veterinary office, and completed basic obedience training. Those experiences have taught me how to safely handle dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels while recognizing when they may need a little extra patience or attention. At home, your pet will have a safe, fun environment with a fully fenced yard for playtime, plenty of toys, fresh water, treats (with your approval), and lots of love and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. Whether they love to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! Scheduling, I just ask for two days notice if needed on the weekends or if I am needed for overnight stays/check ins. Thank you in advance! I have a fenced in yard at my home and two of my own dogs to keep your fur babies company if they enjoy playmates, if we are at your home I just need the information for care!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family
About: Since I was 16, I’ve been trusted with the care of pets for my family, extended family, friends, and neighbors. I walk my own dog daily, and I have two cats of my own, so I know firsthand how to care for both dogs and cats. I’ve house-sat for a variety of pets, making sure they feel happy, active, and loved. I’m confident managing different pets and routines, and I treat every animal as if it were my own.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lapaz
“Chris took exceptional care of my 12 week old chocolate lab who is quite the handful!! He was great about updating me, taking pics, and even sent me a full report card on how Walter did throughout the day!! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Andrew was GREAT! His whole house, from the inside out was extremely dog friendly. LiLi was a little apprehensive at first. He let me stay while he introduced all the dogs he was watching, one at a time, to LiLi. He made the transition easier for her by giving her (and all the other dogs) treats. Even though LiLi was nervous when I left, Andrew sent me a video of her happily playing with his dog, James, less than 5 minutes after I left. He took great pictures and videos too!! Definitely will use him again…tomorrow. 😊”
“Once again, Jamie took great care of my min pin doggie! He is so comfortable with her, and her dog is very hospitable too. I will always call Jamie whenever I am in South Bend!”
About: I love all dogs and cats!!! I’m also a volunteer foster for Fulton County Animal Center. I have volunteered for over 6 years. Animals just bring so much happiness to your life. I’m a mom of 5 children and 2 fur babies. I work full time but have a flexible work schedule so this is a great opportunity to make extra money while doing what I already love to do. I will make sure that the fur babes are supervised at all times just like I would with any of our own or foster babies.
About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.
“Jennifer and Larry were awesome. Nestli was excited to enter their house the moment he got there, and immediately began exploring the fenced yard with joy. He was happy to be there, and when we picked him up, he made sure to give Jennifer several kisses and wiggle butts goodbye. Obviously, Jennifer and Larry took great care of Nestli, and also accommodated our extra time needs for our event, for which we are very grateful!”
“I don’t think I can say enough good about Haley and Pierce. Pierce is the perfect combination of laid back and playful. He patiently tolerated her initial over-excitement and then ran and played “chase” with her at the beautiful park where Haley took them. Haley was friendly and professional, providing frequent updates and photos. I will most definitely be using Haley again!”
“Betty is a nice, reliable, experienced caretaker that gives the best care to the dog. My dog Dobby had a very enjoyable afternoon with Betty and her dogs in the big backyard. She also takes lots of pics for update, I would definitely recommend Betty to everyone.”
“Lindsay was great! She helped me out when my sitter was not available. She has a nice, big backyard that I know my dog loved! Her and her family are very kind and took great care of my little guy.”

“My husband was traveling several trips to the Bristol area for business. There are not any options for dog daycare with a national chain so I found Josie & Michael on here. The BEST dogsitters we have ever had for Jr. They treated him just like he was their pet plus every morning, he would almost shake his tail off when he would see Josie at the door. So if you live in the Bristol area or traveling there, please check out Josie & Michael for your fur baby sitter.”
About: Over 10 years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. The Cavalier is a very playful instigator. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
“Lilliana was wonderful with communication and flexibility. She has a very nice personality and I felt very confident leaving our senior Yorkie mix with her!”

“Kiana was great. We were visiting from out of town and wanted to bring our fur baby. However, the weather was extremely cold and my daughter and I wanted to go to the outlet mall but had no clue what to do with our pup. I reached out to Kiara and god a near immediate response. We were able to enjoy our trip and our pup was happy too. She got a walk and lots of love and attention and had a blast playing with her dog. She was nice and worn out for our long car ride home. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to really get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with goats, cats, dogs and lizards, chickens and even horses, along with senior pets. I’m patient and consistent when it comes to basic training, potty routines, exercising and helping reinforce good habits. I know how important that is, so I focus on structure, positive reinforcement, and lots of encouragement. For senior pets, I have lots of experience in administering medication, and sticking closely to their routine, or providing extra attention and care. Reliability and communication are very important to me. I make sure you stay updated with messages, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time and remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help others take care of their fur baby. You can count on me! I provide a safe, loving environment. I currently have a 4-year-old Bernedoodle who is everything to me. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by dropping in to care for their pets, feeding them, spending quality time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, give them plenty of attention, and create a calm, safe environment where they feel at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family
About: every sitter loves animals, but I really do adore animals and I love being able to just enjoy and meet new animals. My special skills with animals is to cuddle! I love making sure the fur babies are taking care of with love and respect! I currently work a full time job, M-T from 7 to 5, which is the main reason of dog sitting on the weekends! I can do full weeks just need to know ahead of time to be able to discuss with work! The best option is to have them at the client’s home, animals are always comfortable when at home and a place they know! It’s already scary that a stranger is in there house but much better than a scary car ride into a new house!

As a resident of Northern Indiana, I have access to many free public parks and walking trails that offer plenty of exercise and entertainment. In my home, pets have a safe, structured environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for companionship if they love meeting new friends. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide calm, attentive handling, and ensure they feel secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain consistency with feeding, exercise, and training preferences, and keep communication open so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Christina is a wonderful dog sitter. She literally helped me out when I was dealing with a personal crisis and needed an emergency sitter for my dog. She was able to connect with him & gain his trust quickly. Proof that good people are out there! Thanks a million Christina!! :)”
“We had a great experience with Alejandra! She sent daily photos, videos, and updates, so we always knew how Benji was doing. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Cinthia did an amazing job caring for my cats! she immediately communicated with me about how they were adjusting, sent photos, and was very friendly and easygoing when I reached out on short notice. My cats loved her and her kids!”
“Pam did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They were boarded at her home. We got daily updates, photos and videos. We have one very timid dog that she was very patient with and eventually our dog warmed up to Pam. Five star rating. Couldn’t recommend more highly Will use again.”
“Offered to give my wife and I a tour off his home. Sent photos and videos of our dog throughout his stay there. When we arrived we saw our dog happily running around in the yard.”
“There are dog sitters, and then there are people who truly become part of your dog's life. For quite a while now, my weekends have slowly become my weekdays—early mornings, long shifts, and the quiet rhythm of doing what needs to be done. In the midst of all of that, there is always Paige. And as any dog owner understands, our dogs are never "just dogs." They are love, trust, comfort, and pieces of our hearts that walk beside us through life. That is why I cannot say enough wonderful things about these incredible puppy sitters. From the very beginning, Paige was not simply watched over—she was welcomed, understood, and loved. Their care extends far beyond food, potty breaks, and supervision. They genuinely invest themselves in the dogs they care for, and it shows in every interaction, every update, and every photo they send. Even when Paige wasn't feeling her best, they met her with extra comfort, special food, patience, and care, giving me a peace of mind that is difficult to put into words. What I appreciate most is not only how deeply they care for her, but how much they help her grow. Through gentle guidance, structure, socialization, and opportunities to learn from mature, well-behaved dogs, Paige continues to become calmer, more confident, and more comfortable in herself. Their home provides so much more than pet sitting. It provides safety, growth, companionship, encouragement, and love. As someone whose life often requires being in many places at once, there is a profound comfort in knowing that while I am caring for others, someone else is caring for Paige with the same attentiveness and devotion I would hope to give her myself. That kind of peace is rare. Paige and I are grateful beyond words—not simply because they care for her so well, but because they care for her with their whole hearts. Thank you, Jennifer and Larry W., for the extraordinary impact you have made. The comfort, reassurance, care, wisdom, and generosity you have shared have left a lasting imprint that will be carried with profound gratitude. Some gifts cannot be measured by what is given, but by what is felt, and for that, we will always be thankful.”
“Wonderful!! Katelyn and her family were so kind and helped me get a nervous pup into her home. She took care of her so well sending pics that were so comforting. She even slept near her a while to help calm her. I’m so grateful for such great care!”
“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”
“Fantastic! She took great in-home care of our high energy pups who usually struggle with separation anxiety - they did not! They were happy and well adjusted when we returned. She even replaced their treats - above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Lilliana is a pro! She anticipated every need for our pup. I really appreciate her expertise and communication while she cared for our dog. Our silver lab is nervous and Lily knew exactly how to make Daphne feel at home. I absolutely will hire her again! Thank you!”
“We are extremely pleased with Francis. We are gone for 5 days and we could enjoy our trip knowing he was there taking care of and giving the best time for Lady. Reliable and good communications.”
“Lindsay is literally the definition of a GODSEND when it comes to dog sitting & taking care of your pet when you have to leave him or her behind going out of town. This was my second time leaving my dog (Hank) with Lindsay and her family, and for as long as I live here in the South Bend/Michiana area I will never look elsewhere for a sitter. She truly treats ALL dogs as if they are her own, and ensures that each and every one of them has a remarkable experience under her care. I promise promise promise there is no better sitter in the area, so if you’re looking for someone to look after a pet you love so dearly, look no further because Lindsay & her family are the best there is. I will forever be thankful I found her & will continue to use her as often as I can throughout the near future!”
“Thank you for loving on our Sadie!!! From the meet and greet, I know Sadie would be in good hands with Leandra. She was calm and patient as it took out dog a bit to get warmed up. She kept us updated, was quick to respond to any questions we had and included photos! We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.
“Haley is AMAZING! She took care of my 15 week old puppy last minute, and was super communicative. She sent photos and updates, as well as took him to socialize and made sure he was well taken care of. THANK YOU!”

I work full time and have my own family but am committed to being an awesome, long time pet sitter for you, the one you continue to request! I look forward to adding your fur babies to my schedule and am signing up because I have the time. I am committed to caring your pets as if they are my own. I will nurture their sense of play, curiosity, social interaction within a safe and caring manner. I am committed to making them feel safe at all times to lower their anxiety of you being gone. I will share videos and photos of your fur babies to bring you joy and comfort while away. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure my pets are fed, have fresh water, receive regular exercise and attention, and that their living areas are kept clean.
