“Very pleased with the service Piper provided! I asked her to do two dates that were several days apart because my other pet sitter couldn't do them. This would have been challenging for me to remember - but she was totally on top of it. She even texted me early in the day on the second date to confirm that she would be there - and she was! She took great pictures of my cat and offered to help in any way she could. My cat was happy and healthy when I returned home. I am VERY HAPPY to have another pet sitter I can trust. Thanks, Piper!!”

We will definitely look at rebooking for our next trip!”

About: Since day one, I have always had a dog in my life. A cat in my adult years and a few other critters throughout the years. They are all family! All my dogs have always been a big part of my life and I care for them deeply. Family/Friends have trusted me to care for their pets when needed. I am always happy to lend a helping hand, or a lap to cuddle on, an arm to throw a ball, or even lacing up those tennis shoes for a walk. I currently have a “teenager” (6 year American Staffordshire Terrier… major cuddles, playful, very sensitive stomach) and recently our senior Luna past over the rainbow bridge. I am patient and have energy for any requirement you may need while your babies are in my care. Working from home, I am quite flexible most days. I am an early riser and stay up late. So feedings, playtime, bathroom breaks, etc is not an issue for me. We have 5 acres of unfenced land to run around in. I also have a very large fenced Garden the dogs are allowed to roam in for off leash fun, as well as a sizeable wrap around deck to chill on and soak up the sun. We are outdoor people, so are our dog(s), so if it’s nice, you will find us out and about. With our training they do well to stay within our property and listen well if running around the yard. Communicate if your dog(s) need to be leashed (also have a leash line setup between trees to enjoy the outdoors as well). I would hope in any environment that your pets are trained and do well in the space provided or within, please communicate any special concerns, etc. I do have experience with “shock” collars for more so the ‘tone’ button, as we have wildlife and woods surrounding our house, we use this to protect our dogs from our surroundings periodically throughout the year. So I am comfortable using this method to ensure your pups stay safe.

That's why I'm currently quitting my job to try something more different. I will only walk dogs, I live in an apartment so for the moment no animals can enter. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals, yet still getting to keep my other passion, family care. I couldn't ask for a better combination. With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

I am currently enrolled in online college classes full time. That means I’ll be home with your pup all day every day to provide them the most care.

For senior pets, I’m patient and attentive to mobility issues, medication schedules, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m also highly reliable and communicative—I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, structured routines, or gentle, attentive care, I adapt to what works best for them. Above all, I aim to build trust—not just with pets, but with their owners too—so you can feel completely confident while you’re away. I am currently working full-time but with my scheduling I am able to build time around pets needs. Each day includes feeding, walks or playtime, and general check-ins to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. I live in home with a fenced in yard. All animals are allowed in all rooms as well as furniture. I do have a crate if need be and two friendly doodles to keep your dog company with lots of toys to play with!
“I highly recommend Jackie! I received many pictures of my pups while I was away which was very reassuring for me. I will most definitely look for her again the next time I need someone. She also has a fenced in background which was perfect for a ton of play time.”
“Theresa took such great care of our dog Tank, he was very comfortable and loved his time with her and her fiance! Theresa sent us daily updates and photos during his stay. We were so happy to know he was well cared for and will definitely have him stay again :) Thank you for keeping our pup cozy and happy!!”
“Thomas was wonderful when I called last minute asking if he could take our Great Dane for the weekend. Our big girl was right at home with Thomas and his wife and was treated like family. We will definitely bring her back. Our Ruby Doo was very loved and so well taken care of ♥️♥️”
“Karlee was so patient with my nervous kitty! It was such a relief knowing he was somewhere safe, even if nervous. She gave him the affection/ pets he loves at his level of comfort. He got to be a bit spicy at the end of his visit, but that had nothing to do with her care. Thank you so much for watching him! The daily updates were so reassuring for me!”
“Jill and her family took great care of my dog. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. She sent me constant updates and pictures which was very nice and reassuring as I was away. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality and needs. My dog was very cheerful after the time spent at Jill’s and her family (including their cute dog). Would Definitely recommend!”
“Hannah was great! She accepted watching our dog Nille on short notice cause our other dog sitter cancelled. She let us come for a meet and greet prior and sent us pictures and videos throughout Nille’s stay. Nille seemed to have a great time with Hannah and her family.”
About: I tailor my care to you and your pets, with the goal of providing the same love and structure they’re used to. I love to learn their routines, quirks, and comforts so they feel completely at home. I come from a nursing background, so I am comfortable providing medications and treatments. I have a special love for elderly animals! I also have significant farm experience, so if watching over your farm is also something you need, please reach out! I work Monday-Friday 8-4:30 with a very flexible schedule that often includes several days per week working from home. On the days I’m not working from home, I typically am not gone for the entire day. The flexibility of my schedule ensures I can do what I need to care for your pets while we’re together! My goal is to create a space where both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease. I maintain a calm, clean environment, and provide thoughtful attention and careful supervision.
About: I have grown up with dogs and many other pets since birth. We used to raise dogs, now we have two medium sized dogs. I love animals and I hope to have a career where I can continue that passion. Just graduated from high school May 2025, and I have a schedule allowing me to be able to continue caring for animals and to continue this passion of mine! I have two medium family dogs and they are very important, special members of the family. I treat every single pet with care and respect.
