“We were heartbroken when our normal sitter we found on here moved away! We tried a few others on here and none loved them like Jessica did… until now! I felt completely at ease as soon as we walked in and Lucy made herself right at home. Alexa has kept me updated the whole time and loved her like she was her own. She has become our new favorite dog person!”

“Carly was fantastic and was able to watch my puppy on a short notice! She was very thorough and kept me up to date on how my pup was doing throughout the day and sent pics. Thank you Carly for giving me peace of mind while I was out of town and loving my fur baby. Would definitely use again! ☺️”

“Wonderful experience with Bryan & Jessica. Great communication, daily updates, and fantastic family. Highly recommend these folks to watch your loved ones while you're away.”

“Sheryl was able to keep our Cane Corso very happy for several days while we attended a funeral out of town. She came to meet him prior to his visit to her house and got to know him. She was totally used to dogs and expected his “I don’t know my own size” puppy attitude. She made it all very easy and updated with lots of pictures and communication to ease our minds about being away from him. I will definitely be using her for all of my dog boarding need from now on!!”

“Mikayla & Skyler we’re absolutely great with my Sheltie, North! I could tell from the time of drop-off to the pickup that they loved dogs and North got adjusted and settled right away. I received daily updates while I was away and was never concerned for a minute because North was in very good hands. I will definitely rebook with them for all my dog sitting needs!”


“Jacqui was wonderful with our doodles! They had the perfect weekend! She texted and sent pictures often and was quick to respond! 10/10 will definitely use her for our future needs!”

“Ashley took great care of our boy for five days. She kept us informed with daily photos and updates. She and her husband are very kind and welcoming; and they provided a safe home and environment. We are very glad we found them! We will definitely book again.”

About: My name is Annabell, and I'm a self-proclaimed animal lover with years of pet sitting experience. I grew up surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, and I've always had a soft spot for furry friends. I’m currently working part time at the animal shelter I specialize in caring for dogs and cats, but I'm also comfortable with small mammals, reptiles, and even the occasional exotic pet. I'm always up for a challenge, and I love learning about new animals and their unique needs. One of the things that sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to connect with animals on a deeper level. I pride myself on being able to read an animal's body language and understand their needs, even if they can't tell me in words. I'm also experienced in administering medication, so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands. I know that pets are more than just animals - they're family members - and I treat them with the same love and care that I would want for my own pets. When I'm not pet sitting, you can usually find me exploring the great outdoors with my own furry friend. I'm an avid hiker and nature lover, and I believe that spending time in nature is just as important for pets as it is for humans. If you're looking for a fun-loving and experienced pet sitter who truly cares about your furry friend, look no further. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I understand trust is a big factor in finding the right sitter. I always do meet and greets beforehand to make sure you and your pet are comfortable with me. In my time of being a pet owner myself and professionally sitting I have a developed a high understanding of the care, temperament and just fun activities for the the doggos and cats to enjoy! ( and of course all your farm, exotic and aquatic friends)
“Absolutely wonderful!! We've never been away from our 2 cats before and she relieved us of every single worry we had about boarding them. Kerianne is incredibly communicative and friendly, dedicated to ensuring your pets specific needs are met. If we ever need to board them again, I know exactly who we'll go with for a no stress vacation!! 😸😸😸”

“Absolutely the best pet sitter! She took amazing care of our fur baby and treated them like family. We received updates, photos, and had complete peace of mind while we were away. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!”

About: I have one cat of my own and I gained two years of experience handling various cats during a previous job at a boarding & grooming facility. I have cared for both clients’ kitties and local humane society cats; administering medications, socializing kittens, and keeping their spaces clean. I understand that some kitties can be fearful of new people and I am willing to work patiently to earn their trust and provide positive experiences!
“Lo was fantastic! She followed instructions, cats responded well to her from the photos she sent, and everything around the feeding area and litter box was tidy. Highly recommend - will use her again.”


About: I became a cat mom 6 years ago when I adopted my "foster failure" with PAWS. Since then we've adopted another as we are addicted! We care for any strays in our neighborhood and have an outdoor house for their shelter. Before owning cats, I had owned many dogs. They have all since passed and hope to get another one in the future. I love talking to cats and playing with them! They're better listeners than you think! I will do my best to care for your cat. Give them lots of love while you[re away. I don't have experience with giving them medications other than trying to hide it in food. I can try to give it otherwise but will need exact instructions If you have any questions, let me know!

About: My family have always owned at least 4 dogs at a time and growing up it was our responsibility as kids to care for them. We would brush them, walk them, feed them, and bath them. I work fully remote and am willing to travel. I would be able to give full attention to your pets. Since my job is remote, it gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. Most of my days are spent behind a monitor working. They will have my attention at all time. They might get tired of me wanting to play with them. I love being around dogs and will make sure your fury friend is well taken care of and happy

“Alexa was great! She was super communicative and showed up on time every single day for a month to walk our two dogs while we were settling into a new house. She got them plenty of exercise each day, gave updates on how they did on each walk, adjusted walk lengths based on the weather and how much energy the dogs had each day, and overall was super attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Our boys are missing her already, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”
