“Isabel was great to work with. She came in so clutch, after our original sitter got sick, and we needed to scramble to find someone in a day. It ended up being the best thing that could have happened - as Isabel did a wonderful job. She was fast to respond, and scheduled a meet and greet right away. She lives in a rural area, and has a fenced in backyard - which is ideal for dogs like Brady to roam free and have fun. She was also great about sending pictures and updates - without me having to ask, which I really appreciated. Brady seemed to have a wonderful time, and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Evie and Fritz took amazing care of my dog, Moose, while he stayed with them for a week. They were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs, and Moose absolutely loved his time with them. I also appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and communication throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Evie and Fritz to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive pet sitters, and I would happily book with them again!”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”
“Ashley was wonderful from start to finish — from our first chat to the meet & greet and throughout Millie’s stay. She’s incredibly responsive, accommodating, and just so easy to work with. The whole experience felt seamless and completely stress-free. During Millie’s stay, Ashley sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Millie was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I trust Ashley with Millie so much that I’ve already booked another stay with her! I’m so grateful we found her and would happily & highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and dependable sitter.”
“I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.”
“Emily and William took great care of my dog Archie for the first time. I could sense the instant love and care they had for my dog as soon as they met him and that meant a lot to me knowing he’d be in good hands while I was away. They were very communicative and kind. I will definitely be using their services again!”
“Molly was terrific. Dodger loved her and she gave us constant updates and lots of pictures. She even offered to FaceTime with Dodger too! It put our minds at ease to know that Dodger was being looked after so well, which is something you really need when you're away for a while. We will definitely have Dodger stay with her again.”
“Alice consistently takes great care of my dog. She sends fun pictures and videos, handles any health concerns that come up, and she even took him to the dog park so that he could play. I am very grateful when Alice is available to take care of my dog.”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Our pups spent another weekend with Amy and Alex -- I kind of felt bad picking them up because I know they are so happy there! Trust both of them fully with our boys :-)”
“Crystal has always been great with Teddy but this time around for our longer trip, she went above and beyond. His fur tends to get very matted so I requested she brush him and he came home with no matting and I am feeling so grateful! Highly recommend her care!!”
“Yara and Angel were great watching my babies! They sent daily updates and pictures and my boys thoroughly enjoyed playing with their daughter!! Will definitely contact them for future dog sitting!”
“Agus and his buddy, Harry Potter, are our go-to boarding hosts. They are both laid back, friendly and accommodating. My pup is always excited to be dropped off at Agus's place and runs inside without a backward glance. He is very pooped and happy when I collect him at the end of his stay with them. Agus is very comfortable handling my pup, and I trust Agus to care well for him. We always look forward to our next visit with Agus and Harry.”
“This was Racer’s first stay with Gregg, and we will definitely check with Gregg again next time we board Racer. Gregg was very knowledgable about dogs and he sent us thoughtful, daily updates that make it clear that he is paying close attention to how the dogs are doing. We felt Racer was in great hands.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“I wish I could give Heather and John more than 5 stars! They took wonderful care of both my timid older dog and crazy puppy boarding for over a week, and sent lots of pictures and updates to calm my nerves about leaving the little guy for the first time. The dogs appeared at home and comfortable from the first day. Heather and John were also flexible about extending for a couple of extra days when weather changed our travel plans, saving the end of our trip. Highly recommend!”

“Annalia is absolutely wonderful! This was our second time booking her to watch Pickle, and she is officially our go-to sitter. She was punctual every single day and sent great photo updates that put my mind at ease. She is friendly, communicative, and truly went above and beyond—even cleaning up a sickness mess and keeping me informed immediately. Pickle was happy and relaxed when I got home. I can’t recommend Annalia enough!”
“Hillary did a wonderful job with our two kitties while we were away! She is a great communicator, and our cats seemed very comfortable with her - and they are usually quite shy. Highly recommend!”
“Tooba was very communicative, kinda, and understanding of a mix-up. But, most importantly, she was able to coax our skeptical furbag out from under the bed to say hello. I felt very well-cared for!”
“Gwen is such a blessing- she went above and beyond when our old lady cat needed medicine on a schedule and needed extra care. She has been caring for our pets for two years and we trust her completely.”

I like to meet with pet parents before staying in their home to learn their routine and how they care for their animals.

About: I have had cats in the home since I was about 6 years old, I am now 23 and still have a 17 year old, an 8 year old, and a 1 year old. I have had the experience of raising kittens from kittenhood until their golden years. Besides my own pets, I have rescued and taken care of multiple stray cats as well. Most notably would be two years ago when I rescued two kittens from my local park. I spent countless hours with them before catching them and getting them to the vet for all of their shots and fixing. Afterwards, they lived at my home where I would spend hours sitting with them, trying to get two feral boys to be friendly so they could be rehomed. Currently, they are living with a loving home that provides frequent updates and they even sleep in the bed with her! Cats specifically can require patience and a kind hand, which I am more than happy to provide. Cats set their boundaries and I respect them while keeping an eye on them. I have worked with kittens all the way to 17 year old and counting seniors, I have full confidence that I would make a great sitter for your cat!

“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours.

Whenever they are not playing outside, they are inside with me and have the option of napping on their own couch, playing with me, or relaxing in my office.
About: As a young girl I've always had a fondness for animals. I would beg to have a dog until I finally got one. Pepper. Then later Betsy. I've had guinea pigs and rabbits. A rat and mice. Hamsters and chinchillas. I loved them all. I have been around farm animals quite a bit. I'm in love with horses and could even provide care for farm animals. In high school I started working at the vet clinic that at the time offered boarding services. I did that for a short time. In that time I have dog/house sat for family friends. Now in more recent years I've dog sat and currently work for a boarding business. I have been there a full year now and I love it. It is part time hours and would like something extra that still involves animals. Dog walks and care are not a problem for me. I would love to help anyone with their precious pups. I'm also trying to advance in trade skills and become a dog trainer.
About: I have great experience with dogs, and other animals, such as cats, rodents, and even horses. Animals make me happy. They're my care-free in the world and I love making them happy as well! I’ve worked at PetSmart and around animals my whole life, so I know how to care and make them happy! Animals are friends so I will always treat them how they ought to be treated. With care and respect. I’m available whenever you need me to be, as of right now I am unemployed, so I will be with your pet 24/7. We we will have lots of fun together! Play ball, go on walks around the lake, and even just relax when we need too. I’m there for any dog. I have lots of time dedicated to pet care. I ensure daily walks, playtime, feeding and giving the pets the attention they deserve that day. I provide personalized care with daily walks, feeding, playtime and grooming, always ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable both at my home and clients’ home.

“Isabel was great to work with. She came in so clutch, after our original sitter got sick, and we needed to scramble to find someone in a day. It ended up being the best thing that could have happened - as Isabel did a wonderful job. She was fast to respond, and scheduled a meet and greet right away. She lives in a rural area, and has a fenced in backyard - which is ideal for dogs like Brady to roam free and have fun. She was also great about sending pictures and updates - without me having to ask, which I really appreciated. Brady seemed to have a wonderful time, and I'd highly recommend her.”
“Evie and Fritz took amazing care of my dog, Moose, while he stayed with them for a week. They were kind, caring, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love dogs, and Moose absolutely loved his time with them. I also appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and communication throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Evie and Fritz to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive pet sitters, and I would happily book with them again!”
“Ashley did a great job watching our pup. He has a lot of energy as well as a small medical need and he was well taken care of on his stay. Ashley did a great job keeping us updated daily and our pup came back happy. Will be contacting Ashley for our pups next “vacation”!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! I was getting married nearby and she watched my pup which made the whole thing possible. Her property is perfect, she has a huge fenced in paddock that Shadow loved. She sent tons of photos and videos! I feel like Shadow was well taken care of and I'd definitely book again.”
“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”
“I was worried about leaving Penny because she is very clingy, but she was fine! Vanessa took great care of her, and even allowed Penny to sleep with her. I’m not sure Penny wanted to come home. We will definitely leave Penny with Vanessa again.”
“Emily and William took great care of my dog Archie for the first time. I could sense the instant love and care they had for my dog as soon as they met him and that meant a lot to me knowing he’d be in good hands while I was away. They were very communicative and kind. I will definitely be using their services again!”
“Molly was terrific. Dodger loved her and she gave us constant updates and lots of pictures. She even offered to FaceTime with Dodger too! It put our minds at ease to know that Dodger was being looked after so well, which is something you really need when you're away for a while. We will definitely have Dodger stay with her again.”
“Very accommodating and understanding with travel delays. Dogs looked healthy and happy. Best part was she provided a complementary dog wash for the boys . Definitely recommend.”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“Our pups spent another weekend with Amy and Alex -- I kind of felt bad picking them up because I know they are so happy there! Trust both of them fully with our boys :-)”
“Yara and Angel were great watching my babies! They sent daily updates and pictures and my boys thoroughly enjoyed playing with their daughter!! Will definitely contact them for future dog sitting!”
“Agus and his buddy, Harry Potter, are our go-to boarding hosts. They are both laid back, friendly and accommodating. My pup is always excited to be dropped off at Agus's place and runs inside without a backward glance. He is very pooped and happy when I collect him at the end of his stay with them. Agus is very comfortable handling my pup, and I trust Agus to care well for him. We always look forward to our next visit with Agus and Harry.”
“This was Racer’s first stay with Gregg, and we will definitely check with Gregg again next time we board Racer. Gregg was very knowledgable about dogs and he sent us thoughtful, daily updates that make it clear that he is paying close attention to how the dogs are doing. We felt Racer was in great hands.”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“I wish I could give Heather and John more than 5 stars! They took wonderful care of both my timid older dog and crazy puppy boarding for over a week, and sent lots of pictures and updates to calm my nerves about leaving the little guy for the first time. The dogs appeared at home and comfortable from the first day. Heather and John were also flexible about extending for a couple of extra days when weather changed our travel plans, saving the end of our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Ronnie had a fantastic stay! Amanda was very communicative with me and wonderful with my very sensitive dog. I’m usually nervous to leave my girl with new people but this time I felt like I could relax.”
“This was our second time using Denise and our (often shy) dog seemed very glad to see her -- what more could you want? Denise was also helpful and flexible when our travel did not go quite as planned. We will certainly use her again!”
