“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.”
“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”!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“Excellent sitter! Our anxious fur baby had a wonderful time and did very well on her first visit. Amy had a great plan for her and took care of her ensuring she acclimated to her new environment. Excellent care and communication. Would definitely use their services again without hesitation.”
“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.”
“Ashley and the entire family took such great care of our fur baby. We had absolutely no worries. We received pictures and updates every day. I looked forward to receiving the latest update on our little princess at least two times a day. We are so glad we found such a loving family that truly cares for your pet as if they are theirs. We will definitely book with them again! Thanks again to the entire family from all of us💕!!”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“Crystal is an absolutely amazing furbaby sitter! I have never been away from my baby for more than 2 days and this trip I took was 7 days - and I never had a worry! My Sammie is almost 15 years old and a bit picky, but once I saw him prancing in the video she sent, I really knew everything was well. I cannot express my appreciation enough! I will be looking for you again next April now that I know I can vacation with peace of mind. Thank you again, Crystal! Book her - she will give your babies love! 😊”
“Alice was great with Dickens and sent me numerous photos and daily updates about Dickens while I was away. I would recommend her heartily to anyone who needs multi-day dog care.”
“My dog loved it here for a long weekend! She’s usually very shy and timid but Vanessa took time to make sure she was comfortable. Roo takes medication every 12 hours and I did not have to worry when I was on my trip. Vanessa took amazing care of my dog and I highly recommend!”
“We were SO thrilled with the wonderful care that Lily got! We left Lily for six nights, and we never had any concerns. We got friendly, daily updates with great pictures. Ellison and Lisa have two great kids who played with her and loved on her. We were afraid that when we came to get her, Lily would not want to come with us! We were so happy with our choice, and we will definitely ask them again to watch her when we go somewhere. You couldn't find a better family.”
“Our dog Nethra had a wonderful time at Sharon's house. Sharon was extremely caring and it reflected in the videos that was sent to us since we could see how happy Nethra was. Thanks Sharon!”
“Mollie took amazing care of our pup while we were traveling! She kept us up to date on how things were going and sent pictures regularly and went out Of her way to make sure our super anxious pup was as comfortable as possible. We would definitely book with her again.”
“As always, we love having our dog stay there! She clearly has a blast every time, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s safe and well cared for.”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“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!”
“Lauren was a phenomenal sitter through and through! She was very quick to respond to any messages and quite punctual with pick up and drop off. During my dog Ruca's stay she had a seizure and Lauren took great care of her and made sure she was clean and comfortable. 11 out of 10, will be booking with Lauren for the foreseeable future!”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”

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!

“Cici loved going to Kelly's! She was wagging her tail and (annoyingly) jumping all over the place for daycare a few days after the meet and greet. She got to play with another dog about her size. Cici was ASLEEP a couple hours after I brought her home. She hardly ever settles on her own! I will definitely be bringing Cici back to Kelly's!”
“This was a last minute book and we couldn’t be more pleased. Sarah was great communicating with me since my schedule changed after booking and Cotde was so well taken care of. We will definitely use them again.”

“Amazing experience with Rashi. My Golden was more anxious than anticipated following a long car trip and move, and Rashi and her husband took special care and attention to make her begin to relax during her daytime stay. They kept me updated throughout what was a trying day for us both! I could not have asked for more.”

“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. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”

“We are so grateful to Evelin for taking care of our sweet Bichon, Lily, while we attended a family funeral.

She kept us informed on how he is doing without even us having to ask for it. She even helped us to load and unload Dobby’s things in the car. She was amazing! I highly highly recommended her and I am so confident that she would take care of any dog like her own as she loves doing it.”
“Cynthia is awesome!! I have a 6.5 month old lab with a high energy level. Cynthia’s home is extremely inviting for all dogs and all different temperaments. Her two yellow labs are extremely sweet and my dog loves to play with them. This was my first time using Rover given my pup is so young. Cynthia took the time to talk to me about how she handles the dog in a positive manner, never violent. She made she to give me updates during the day and sent lots of cute photos. 10/10 recommend and have already booked more days with her.”

“Shannon did an incredible job taking care of our pup, Theo, for multiple daycare stays. She kept me updated with how he was adjusting + the best pictures/videos, shared homemade treats, and took him on regular walks. I appreciated that she works from home and could quickly tell she’s a natural dog person who just gets it. Not to mention her home is a dog’s paradise with a large fenced in backyard, gated front porch away from a main road, and the sweetest easy-going dogs of her own that welcomed Theo with open paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with Shannon & would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I truly felt like she treated Theo as her own 🩵”

I could come as needed to take care of your fur babies. I have chickens and dogs and make sure they are fed and watered daily. My dogs get walked every other day, I try to keep them active.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 14. I’m an RN and happy to give meds to your fur fam. I have two dogs of my own and we are always on the go. I have a spontaneous schedule and would love to fit you and your pets in! I work 3 days a week and am often available to fit you into my schedule. Feel free to reach out anytime to see if we can make something work! I have two dogs who are crate trained and don’t get on furniture. That being said, they come everywhere with me and we are always camping and traveling. I believe pets are like people. They need quality food, good exercise, positive reinforcement, routine, and lots o’ love!
About: I have grown up with dogs so I am very comfortable around them! From playing fetch and going on runs to cuddles and pets I am more than happy to provide your dog with whatever they need. I know that they need lots of love and attention which I am looking forward to giving them. We have two dogs of our own, Wilbur and Goose, and I wish I could have more! But giving your pets love will do me just fine. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me. I look forward to taking great care of your pets! Luckily, I get to work remotely. This allows me a lot of flexibility of when I am able to provide pet care since I can work around my schedule easily! We are fortunate enough to have a large fenced in back yard for our pups to run freely in! 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: I have had all different breeds of dogs in my life and am very familiar with all of the different personalities of dogs! My family members and friends have relied on me to watch over their fur family members. My schedule is very flexible and I have a ton of availability. When you book with me, my priority is your pet and their needs. I have a very friendly dog that can tag along for walks if your dog may need social time or a buddy! You can trust that I will care for your pet as if it were my own! :)

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.”
“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”!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“Excellent sitter! Our anxious fur baby had a wonderful time and did very well on her first visit. Amy had a great plan for her and took care of her ensuring she acclimated to her new environment. Excellent care and communication. Would definitely use their services again without hesitation.”
“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.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”
“My dog loved it here for a long weekend! She’s usually very shy and timid but Vanessa took time to make sure she was comfortable. Roo takes medication every 12 hours and I did not have to worry when I was on my trip. Vanessa took amazing care of my dog and I highly recommend!”
“We were SO thrilled with the wonderful care that Lily got! We left Lily for six nights, and we never had any concerns. We got friendly, daily updates with great pictures. Ellison and Lisa have two great kids who played with her and loved on her. We were afraid that when we came to get her, Lily would not want to come with us! We were so happy with our choice, and we will definitely ask them again to watch her when we go somewhere. You couldn't find a better family.”
“Our dog Nethra had a wonderful time at Sharon's house. Sharon was extremely caring and it reflected in the videos that was sent to us since we could see how happy Nethra was. Thanks Sharon!”
“Mollie took amazing care of our pup while we were traveling! She kept us up to date on how things were going and sent pictures regularly and went out Of her way to make sure our super anxious pup was as comfortable as possible. We would definitely book with her again.”
“As always, we love having our dog stay there! She clearly has a blast every time, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s safe and well cared for.”
“Heather kept our dog, Iggy, for two weeks while we were away on vacation. We received several updates with videos throughout the stay. Iggy cane home very happy and I’m sure she got plenty of love attention in a relaxing home environment. One thing we appreciated about Heather’s service is that she only kept our dog. While Iggy is very social, I felt more confident knowing there weren't many dogs in and out throughout her stay. Thank you, Heather!”
“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!”
“Lauren was a phenomenal sitter through and through! She was very quick to respond to any messages and quite punctual with pick up and drop off. During my dog Ruca's stay she had a seizure and Lauren took great care of her and made sure she was clean and comfortable. 11 out of 10, will be booking with Lauren for the foreseeable future!”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She communicated daily with info and pictures. This was our first experience with a dog sitter, not boarding...and we won't be going back to boarding!”
“I had to board my Zita very last second (not even minute) for a full day sitting (9.00-19.00) and Agus was extremely nice and flexible to accommodate my needs. He took really good care of Zita and she loved playing with Harry Potter (he is such a sweet boy!). I would definitely recommend him and board Zita again!”
