“Kiki can be an ornery cat; known to hide when uncomfortable and likes to hunt… well, Savannah and Dakotah made Kiki so comfortable, she refused to come home! Thank you for the pictures and she loves her Christmas gifts jingling all over the house … highly recommended pet sitter!”
“We left our young puppy with Ashley for the first time and wasn't sure if she was going to want to come home or not. Ashley and her daughter spoiled her rotten and made leaving our baby for the first time a less stressful event.”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.
“This is our first time using Jenny for boarding. She answered all our questions and even sent a photo of the space our dogs would play in before we booked. Jenny was quick to reply, shared photos of our dogs during their entire visit, and was very kind to our entire family. Her vet experience is a plus. Our dogs were all happy wags upon pickup and we will definitely book her for future requests.”

“I am very reluctant to leave my dogs for travel, but Mary made it very easy. Our boxer, Ruger, loved Mary from the meet and greet and enjoyed his stay with her. She gave special attention to all I asked which included giving medication and special feeding instructions. Mary was always quick to respond and gave daily updates with pictures. I would use Mary again to keep my pets!”

“Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty for a week plus! She is a lovely person - the kitty (and my granddaughter and I) liked her from the get go. She is utterly dependable - you can just about set your watch by her visits. She is flexible - I had to extend her visits twice, at the last minute, and she graciously rolled with it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone and will definitely reach out to her next time we need help with our kitty!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats since I was a kid, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I truly love anything that purrs! Over the past two years, I’ve been the go-to cat sitter for my family, who trust me completely with their pets. I’ve often been called a ‘cat whisperer’ because cats tend to feel comfortable around me right away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet with someone else. That’s why I truly care about keeping you updated with photos and little check-ins, so you always know your cat is safe, happy, and loved 😻
“Samantha took such great care of my babies! She gave them lots of love and attention, and she followed my instructions perfectly!! She eased my anxiety so much with her updates and photos 🥹🥹🥹”
“Savannah helped all my worries about leaving my cat! She gave great updates and I could tell in the photos that skettie loved the visits!! I would recommend her to any animal parent!!”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats. They are usually really shy and they seem to come out to her and they love her kids. I am so thankful to find someone in town that can watch my cats while we travel. Thank you Ashley! We will definitely book again.”

“Our 4 month old Goldendoodle, Maggie, has gone to Ashley's house twice already for play days and has had a BLAST!! She plays hard all day and comes home exhausted!! Ashley's dogs are all well behaved and sweet so Maggie is getting some GREAT socialization which is important to us. Ashley's house and yard are set up well for the dogs. We will definitely bring Maggie back for play days on a regular basis!! SO THANKFUL for Ashley!!”

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mom of 5+ years and totally understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new. I’ve had my Italian Spitz since she was a tiny fluffball, so I’ve been through all the puppy stages that includes lots of zoomies, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles 🥰 . Being hands-on from day one has taught me how important routines, patience, and giving each dog the attention they deserve really are. When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My husband and I make sure every dog gets as many walks, potty breaks, and play sessions as they need, plus lots of one-on-one attention. I’m also big on updates, so you can expect frequent photos and messages showing your dog having a great time! My goal is for you to relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun 😌 I work from home during the week, which means I’m around most of the day to give pups the attention they need. I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get timely walks, potty breaks, and lots of check-ins throughout the day. I have a good-sized, fully fenced backyard where your pups can safely run around, play, and burn off energy. Also, if your dog is a couch or bed cuddler at home, they’re welcome to be one here too.
About: I’ve taken care of my boyfriend 2 dogs for a year every time I visit. He is so energetic and so happy every time he sees me step foot in the door I’m a late graduate student who has nothing to do with my time. Pet setting is something fun that I would really enjoy so I am open to pet sit at any time! I don’t really own any pets but I have a big backyard that is well fenced that your puppies have all the room they can run around.

About: I have been around animals from a very young age. My family has had animals ranging from exotic reptiles to cats and dogs. I got a 9 week old sheltie puppy in 2020 and he has been my family ever since. I am used to high energy dogs that can sometimes over express themselves. I can do light runs with energetic dogs or dogs that just need the exercise. At the age of 1 year my sheltie, Caesar, developed congenital arthritis in his elbows. I have to exercise him as if he were a senior dog. I also have experience caring for injured animals. This includes: supplement needs, medicine, massaging, resting, monitoring, etc. I can also do baths, nail trims, and brushing! Caesar is super friendly as well, so if your pup needs a playmate Caesar could join along. I am currently going to school for my Masters degree in biomedical sciences and striving to get accepted to medical school. I typically have class from 8am-12pm Monday-Friday but my schedule does sometimes fluctuate. I am free most midday, afternoons, and evenings. I live in an apartment with a dog park. Caesar and I typically take about 2 trips to the dog park to play each day and go on a long walk. Caesar loves to play fetch and snuggle so we do a lot of that inside. I am able to do long walks, short runs, fetch, or provide as many snuggles as your pet needs.
“Ashley was fantastic!! She came over to "visit" with our pup prior to her scheduled days so that Belle would feel comfortable with her. Ashley took excellent care of our Belle and provided pictures and updates at each visit. Will definitely use her services again!!”
About: I provide attentive, compassionate care with experience supporting senior dogs and their unique needs. As a dedicated cat owner with four sensitive cats, I’m especially mindful of medications, routines, and subtle health changes, always giving extra care, patience, and consideration to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly loved like family. I am a full-time student whose classes end around noon, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! Days vary, but whenever I am home for the weekends, I am free 24/7 (: The space that I curate is clean, food free, and safe for any pet to feel comfortable in! I am very attentive when it comes to my pets’ needs and it is my top priority for them to be taken care of <3

About: My name is Khai’lya and here’s a couple details about me. I have a 4 year old poodle/rat terrier named Peppa. I have 4 years of experience when it comes to dog sitting since I dog sit for my relatives on a regular basis. Since I do it so often, I thought why not work with animals as a side job. I also have plans to work in a shelter and volunteer in the near future. My goal is to help others when it comes to leaving their furry friend with someone dependable and trustworthy. I understand how it feels to worry if your dog or cat is in good hands or not. I want to be able to provide a worry-free experience for others when it comes to their pets. I work and attend college full time, so after my morning classes or work I have nothing but free time. This free time allows me to spend more time playing with your pet. I have a huge yard with a doggie of my own. I do stay near a busy street so I will have to fence your furry best friends in a pet fence for their own safety. I love to do playtime with my dog so I don’t mind doing the same for yours

He will not be assisting with any care of your pets. My availability is pretty open and flexible. I’d prefer to not care in my home, I’d rather keep them in their home where they are most comfortable. I can do drop ins or overnight care depending on which you prefer. Pricing depends on how long I need to stay, how many animals I would be caring for, distance I’d have to travel from my home, etc.
