I haven't needed to find a place for our small, older dog to stay when we have been away on extended travel. All my concerns were replaced with gratitude and peace of mind after meeting Liz. Everyone was able to enjoy the trip without worries. We sincerely appreciate the loving care Liz provided to our dear little dog.

Tia was so kind and easy to work with, even on short notice. Her and her beautiful family took care of our dog so well. She sent regular picture updates, and I know my dog was very loved while I was away.

Daisy was an excellent dog sitter for my pup for a week. She kept us updated with daily pics and answered all texts. She took him to the dog park and her home had a yard which he enjoyed playing in. Definitely will be looking forward to having her as a dog sitter again.

Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.

About: With nearly a decade of hands-on dog training experience and a genuine passion for animal care, I bring a unique blend of expertise and compassion to pet sitting. My background includes meaningful work at an animal shelter, where I developed a deep understanding of dogs and cats with diverse temperaments—and I particularly thrive working with animals that need extra patience and trust-building. As someone who lives on a farm, I'm comfortable with all kinds of animals and understand their individual needs. When your dog visits, they'll enjoy safe outdoor time in a secure, fenced area where they can play freely and comfortably. I approach every animal with both patience and gentle firmness, creating an environment where they feel secure and cared for. Your furry family member won't just be looked after—they'll be loved and understood. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day and can provide attentive, flexible care for your dog and/or cat whenever you need it. Whether it's a quick midday visit, an extended playdate, or overnight care, I can accommodate your schedule without the constraints of a traditional work day. Being home means your pet gets consistent attention, regular bathroom breaks, and the comfort of a calm, nurturing environment. I can also be responsive to last-minute requests or changes—something that's often difficult for sitters with rigid schedules. Your dog will receive the same patient, loving care I give to my own animals, with the added benefit of my availability and flexibility as a stay-at-home caregiver. I offer comprehensive pet care services tailored to what works best for you and your pet. Here's how I approach each: Boarding & Pet Sitting at My Home Your pet will be part of our family during their stay. I provide a calm, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor time in our secure fenced area. My farm setting offers a peaceful atmosphere where dogs can relax and enjoy enrichment activities. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. Pet Sitting at Your Home I visit your home to care for your pet in their familiar environment, which many animals prefer. I follow your established routines and care instructions closely, ensuring minimal disruption. I provide exercise, companionship, and all necessary care while also keeping an eye on your home—a reassuring bonus when you're away. Dog Walking I offer energizing walks tailored to your dog's age, energy level, and temperament. Whether your pup needs a brisk adventure or a leisurely neighborhood stroll, I ensure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need while you're busy. House Sitting When you travel, I stay at your home to care for your pets and watch over your property. Your dog gets consistent, attentive care in their own space, and you have peace of mind knowing both your pet and home are in trusted, capable hands. No matter which service you choose, your pet receives patient, loving care and the individual attention they deserve.

Alex was absolutely phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout the entire time she watched our pets—always quick to update us with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Our animals clearly LOVED her and were happy and well-cared-for when we returned. We can't say enough good things about her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Alex—we'll definitely be booking with you again!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 8 years I have my own dog who just turned 2. The very first dog I ever adopted was kind of “scary” looking and played aggressively she was very sassy and didn’t enjoy the company of other dogs or people (she sadly passed away 2 years ago). While my current puppers is hyper active but has extreme anxiety and loves being around people and other pets. I also often petsit my best friends doggo who is a senior and disabled, he can’t use his back two legs and has a lot of medical issues. I know and understand how to work with dogs of all personalities :) I’m working on getting my GED right now so I have a lot of free time lately. I can work on my classes any time during the day so my schedule is pretty open. I can kennel your dog if needed, take them on walks, feed them, play with them, even cuddle with them!! Our fur babies get lonely too!

Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.

We were in town for a wedding and needed someone we could trust to take care of our dog, Dougie, while we were away. Alexia was absolutely amazing! She came to our hotel the evening before to meet us, get to know Dougie, and learn about his routine and needs. That immediately gave us peace of mind. The next day, while we were at the wedding, she visited him twice at the hotel. She took him for walks, played with him, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was comfortable and happy. Throughout the day, Alexia sent us thoughtful updates and adorable pictures, which meant so much to us. Knowing Dougie was being so well cared for allowed us to fully enjoy the wedding without worrying. We are incredibly grateful for Alexia’s kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, we can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Alexia! You are the best!
