“Esequias and Lisa are wonderful. Our fur baby is 3 years old and had never been with anyone but us. They alleviated any fears we had. Esequias came to our house to meet us and Hook, then we dropped him at their house for a few hours to see how he would adjust. They even picked him up when it was time for us to leave on our trip. They sent pics while we were gone. They treated him like one of their own. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“I would definitely recommend Michele as a sitter for anyone. She kept me updated all day with photos and kept my dog busy the entire time. I will definitely be booking again with her.”

“Barbara & Ken offered outstanding love and attention to our fur baby while we were out of town. They have a very nice, safe & clean home that is perfect for animals. Cooper enjoyed every minute of his time there! We are already planning another trip and hope to send Cooper to Barbara's house again.”
“Nora was great! Our fur baby really enjoyed playing with her kids and dogs. She was awesome with updating us with pictures! We will most definitely be using Nora again for future dog sitting occasions!”
“Brianne and company were awesome! They were sending us pictures while we were gone 11 days and it helped with the separation anxiety (ours.) The whole family is really nice and this is such a better alternative to a kennel. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions but I recommend them! Gary”
“Kathryn was fantastic. This was the first time leaving our pup and we were so worried about him. Kathryn constantly kept in contact with updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her.”

“They were amazing and my puppy had a blast! They even have a pool in the back, and my puppy was lovin it! Very nice and they make you feel at ease. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
“Mary and her family were perfect! They made our Lola feel at home and comfortable, which says a lot for Lola in particular. Trust them fully, highly recommend them and definitely plan on reaching out next time we are in town.”
“Beverly was beyond amazing!!!! She sent us pictures of our furbaby and communicated with us well through our whole trip. Drop off and pick up was so easy. The dogs had a huge fenced in outdoor backyard area to run around and play in. We cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of Barkley!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats growing up. I’ve had four dogs at the same time and I have always had a cat growing up. I love taking care of cats and playing with them. I think animals deserve love and affection and care. I’ve taken care of young animals and I’ve also taken care of senior animals. I currently have two cats who are 13 years old and 3 years old. I currently work full time, so weekends would be best or after work. Fridays I work from home so I’m fully flexible. Overnights stays would have to be weekends unless it’s close to my work then it’s possible for longer stays I have a home that my cats can roam around and everything is pet friendly. They don’t get into anything that is harmful for them
“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Richard is! He helped me in a short notice pinch and was so kind. He took amazing care of my Maia, every picture and video showed her so happy with her tail wagging like crazy. He walked her often and loved on her like she was his own. If that wasn’t awesome enough he came to the rescue again when my flight was extremely delayed and kept Maia for an extra night. Richard is an excellent communicator with frequent updates so I was able to enjoy my holidays stress free. He has a heart of gold and I will definitely use him again. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands with Richard!”
“I booked Emma two days before my trip and was a little nervous about how everything would go, but she made the whole process so smooth. My dog doesn’t usually stay anywhere other than at home with me, but with all the pictures Emma sent me every day, I could see how comfortable my dog was and how well she was being treated. I fully recommend Emma and will definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica took great care of my Great Danes. I loved getting picks and videos while I was gone. So appreciate her taking care of Apollo and Paisley! I highly recommend her ! Thank you Jessica!”

About: A little about me: I bathed dogs for 6 months, raised goats, horses and chickens. Currently I have 4 dogs and 3 outside cats. I’ve had a wide variety of animals growing up. I have bottle fed, administered medication, and changed bandages. I would love taking care of your fur babies! 🐾 I will take care and do what you request. My job is to meet the needs while you are away from your companion. I am available during week and possible weekend just reach out and tell me your needs. The dog/cats will be taken care of at all times. Any requests or instructions that were left will be followed. I am there to take care of your pet while you are away and I will do my best to make the pet feel comfortable while you are away.
About: I have experience with horses dogs, puppies, birds and cats. I have taken care of many peoples pets in home and out of home as they enjoy a stress free vacation knowing their pets are being taken care of. There will be an additional charge for horses, birds and fish tanks. Please let me know ahead of time if you have either. I have a schedule that allows me to pet sit or house sit for extended periods of time. I can also walk your pet on a daily basis. Or exercise your horse on a daily basis. My dog Tazzy is an indoor dog. She is a certified emotional support dog. She sleeps with me, travels with me most of the time. She loves all dogs and most kitties. Very well balanced.
“Katherine is fantastic! I reached out to her last minute hoping she could walk my corgi and Aussie the following day while I was at work. She was able to accommodate both of their walking styles and sent pictures and updates throughout the walk. She has a great personality and is an outstanding communicator. I will most definitely use her again.”

“Esequias and Lisa are wonderful. Our fur baby is 3 years old and had never been with anyone but us. They alleviated any fears we had. Esequias came to our house to meet us and Hook, then we dropped him at their house for a few hours to see how he would adjust. They even picked him up when it was time for us to leave on our trip. They sent pics while we were gone. They treated him like one of their own. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“I would definitely recommend Michele as a sitter for anyone. She kept me updated all day with photos and kept my dog busy the entire time. I will definitely be booking again with her.”
“Courtney and her family were amazing with our pup while we were away for the weekend. They treated her like one of their own—even letting her sleep in their bed! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands.”
“Nora was great! Our fur baby really enjoyed playing with her kids and dogs. She was awesome with updating us with pictures! We will most definitely be using Nora again for future dog sitting occasions!”
“Brianne and company were awesome! They were sending us pictures while we were gone 11 days and it helped with the separation anxiety (ours.) The whole family is really nice and this is such a better alternative to a kennel. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions but I recommend them! Gary”

“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Richard is! He helped me in a short notice pinch and was so kind. He took amazing care of my Maia, every picture and video showed her so happy with her tail wagging like crazy. He walked her often and loved on her like she was his own. If that wasn’t awesome enough he came to the rescue again when my flight was extremely delayed and kept Maia for an extra night. Richard is an excellent communicator with frequent updates so I was able to enjoy my holidays stress free. He has a heart of gold and I will definitely use him again. Your pet couldn’t be in better hands with Richard!”
“I booked Emma two days before my trip and was a little nervous about how everything would go, but she made the whole process so smooth. My dog doesn’t usually stay anywhere other than at home with me, but with all the pictures Emma sent me every day, I could see how comfortable my dog was and how well she was being treated. I fully recommend Emma and will definitely book with her again!”
