“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“This is the first time I have left my puppy (4 months old) and Mary did a great job. I was pleased that she would watch a puppy, many places or people wouldn't. We will definitely use her again.”
“Diane and Dale went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and care for Oliver. He fit right in with their dog, Lexi, enjoyed the walks around the pond and was well-loved. I highly recommend them!”
“April and family were amazing! I was nervous at first, however quickly was at ease with all the updates and photos I received. They treated Allie like family and she looked so happy hanging out with them I wasn’t sure she would want to come home! Hahaha”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“This is my first time ever doing something like this and I wasn’t sure how my dog Mila would react. Doreen contacted me back so quickly even though my trip was last minute. Mila loved Doreen and took great care of her, while also giving me updates and pictures. I will definitely be using Doreen every time.”
“Luana was accommodating, easy to work with and clearly a devoted animal lover. She took great care of our little dog and was especially mindful to make sure he was safe, because he’s a quick, little escape artist. We appreciate her care and will be back when we’re in Wisconsin.”
“I'm so happy we found Becky! My little dog has a few special instructions in his old age, so I really appreciate her care and attention. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up.”
“Ryan was very communicative with us during the time our two dogs stayed with him, and sent pictures over as well. The dogs were happy when we picked them up. I can tell that they were well taken care of when we were away. Thank you Ryan!”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Rebecca & Matthew were so accommodating with our short term request and our dog Gatsby had a great weekend with them playing fetch and snuggling with the boys. I know Gatsby would love to come for a longer stay again in the future!”
“Angela was amazing!! She took great care of my Hodi. I have never left my boy before so l was very nervous. We did a meet and greet before hand which made me feel more comfortable. Angela sent pictures and text update daily. I HIGHLY recommend her to watch your furbaby. My boy had the best time. Thank you Angela and family🥰”
“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”
“Brittni & family were the best dog family we could ever ask for! Luna got along great with their dogs and kids. Brittni sent pictures of Luna with the family and out on walks. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”

“Jenn was so sweet and attentive to our older cat. Luna ,can be very shy and anxious and by just the first session she was interacting with Jenn. She also left very good notes and photos and was very communicative, she'll definitely be out first choice the next time we need a sitter!”
“Katie was an amazing sitter. I appreciated the frequent updates. She took excellent care of my Henry, and she came through for me when my dog sitter fell through on the last day of my vacation. I’m grateful for her kindness. I will be calling on Katie again when I need a sitter.”
“First time using a pet sitter. Courtney was very sweet and friendly and easy to talk to. My kitty is older and I needed someone who could watch over him at the last minute. Courtney did a great job. Very good communication with her. I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much it eased my mind knowing you were watching over him”
About: I grew up on a farm with many barn cats and house cats. I’ve dealt with all ages from kittens to seniors and have no problem with any! I always prefer cuddly cats, but shy and fiesty cats deserve all the love too!
About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!
“Faith was a Godsend! We are so thankful for the great care she gave our two kitties. They received love and attention that was beyond our expectations! Faith was very flexible with our need to book over a holiday and had great communication with us including pictures. This was the first time we were away for a week and we felt good knowing their every need was being met by such a caring person.”
“I wasn't sure what to expect, but Destiny was a great sitter for Sylvester! She took care of his needs per my instructions. Her communications were timely and informative. Highly recommend. 🙂”

“Tammy was able to care for our cats with no issues. Weather was very hot when she cared for them and communicated with me about the temperature in the house and asked permission to open windows. Would definitely hire again.”
“Grace is amazing! Very friendly & upbeat. She is quick in responding to messages & very flexible with scheduling our dog sitting. She is also very patient in getting to know our sometimes difficult rescue, Bingo.”
About: Every cat is unique, so I’ll follow their routine and let them set the pace. Whether your cat enjoys playing with toys, watching birds from the window, or simply curling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of gentle care. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel connected while you’re away.
“We worked with Autumn for drop in visits for our 2 cats and she was fantastic! She went above and beyond, even took out the trash/recycling on garbage day and took in our packages from the porch. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals, my entire life. It doesn’t matter if it’s fish, rabbits, dogs, or cats. I’ve only had two cats. In my lifetime. However, I’ll tell you some stories about them. When I was younger, my parents had a farm cat named Misty. I learned how to take care of Misty at a very young age because Misty was around when I was born. I learned how to feed Misty, give Misty water, clean out the litter pan, and also just play with Misty inside of the house. Misty was a house cat and stayed in the house at all times. After Misty passed away, my family got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Cowboy was approximately eight months when we got Cowboy and again, I learned the skills of taking care of Cowboy, no matter if it was feeding Cowboy, getting Cowboy exercise or cleaning out the litter pan. Cowboy was again an inside cat and I helped Cowboy exercise in the house by using a laser light to get Cowboy to chase it or even just petting Cowboy and giving Cowboy attention. Because all cats like to be petted and snuggle up with you, while you sit and watch tv. I would be happy to stop at your house and help with your cat along with letting them outside if they go outside. Have taken care of cats while owners are gone.

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I am committed to ensuring your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Rest assured, your animals will be in experienced hands! I am currently working part time as a nurse so I will have plenty of free time to spend with your pets! I am available in the evening after 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends! In my role as a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for pets in their own homes. I follow the specific care routines and preferences outlined by the pet owner to ensure consistency and familiarity for the pet. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, maintaining exercise routines, and providing regular playtime and companionship. I am attentive to the pet's needs, monitoring their behavior and health, and ensuring they have access to fresh water at all times. I also maintain a clean and organized space, including regular waste disposal and cleaning up after playtime. Communication with the pet owner is key; I provide updates on their pet's well-being and any notable activities or concerns. My goal is to minimize stress for both the pet and the owner, ensuring a positive experience for everyone involved.

“My dogs had a blast here. My husky usually cries when he is put in the kennel but once I got home and put him in there he fell right asleep. My golden also knocked out in the car and now in the living room. She updated me and was very kind overall. Would definitely book again! Thank you for taking care of my 2 crazy puppies.”
“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”
“Meagan is a 10/10, would definitely recommend!! Meagan is an amazing dog sitter and gives us the peace of mind we needed. Our puppy, Finnegan, runs to her at drop off and has a fun-filled day with lots of indoor and outdoor activity with built in rest time as well. Meagan is extremely mindful and takes the best care of our puppy.”

“Cyen is great! My very shy pup warmed up to her in no time. The fenced in yard is nice for potty breaks and playing chase. Communication was great, Cyen even sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Monique was great! She was very straightforward about the process and how she has dogs in her home, which I appreciate greatly! Tatum has separation anxiety and finding an option that he feels comfortable and safe is really important! She communicated during the day on how he was doing and even got a report card and treats for his first day! This was amazing and I will be working with Monique again!”
About: I have over 10 years pet care experience, 7 of which I have been specifically focusing on dog training. Understanding the minds of dogs and how they think requires a degree of skill and patience, along with consistent application of training techniques. This knowledge of how dogs thinks, interact, and behave helps in every aspect of dog care in itself. It makes every individual pet special because dogs have their own unique personalities, and being able to tap into that and create a bond is different from dog to dog. This is one of the best parts of taking care of people’s pets! Any of your specific needs and accommodations will be met and/or exceeded when in my care, guaranteed! I am a journeyman lineman and I work 4 days a week. Aside from that I own a dog training business where I train dogs on weekends. My wife Teal is home every day for any assistance in care for your dogs and we are both committed to giving the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for your dogs! Trusting someone with these members of our family can be stressful and hard to do at times. I understand better than anyone that giving my pets up to someone can be a daunting task. We need to trust our pets are given the same care they get at home and are loved like one of our own. In this household we have 1 cat and 2 dogs. There is nothing more important than treating your dog equally as good as one of our own. Between my wife and myself the pets we care for will receive our undivided attention and compassion. We incorporate tons of engagement and interactive play time. We are sure to see that these pets aren’t just alone and disregarded. My wife and myself strive to have an environment where animals can have a stress free and fun loving home to reside in until their owners make it back to them. Rest assured that I have been caring for dogs for many years, and training dogs for close to 7 now. You will not find a more loving and compassionate place for your dog than right here!

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments.

About: Have you struggled with finding peace of mind, knowing your dog is loved & cared for while you are gone? I can totally relate to that. Finding someone special to take care of our dogs, when we are gone; is so important. I am a dog lover through and through. I treat them like they are part of the family because THEY ARE. I am excited to PAMPER yours. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I am here to take care of your fur baby all day. My husband is also here to assist. We have a bichon named Lexie who we adore. Unfortunately we lost our loving shitzu Lucy back in Feb at age 13. Dogs are very much a part of our lives. We have cared for dogs of all sizes. We do prefer non shedding. We have a 2 acre yard to explore when we go for walks on a leash. Dogs love to walk with us daily around our 1 acre pond. When dogs go outside, we have a large leash that we hook them on for their potty needs to keep them safe as well as for them to safely explore when we are not with them. I do daily walks with my dog. Dogs are welcome to sleep with us; just like our Lexie does. We look forward to PAMPERING your special family member.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve walked, fed, bathed, helped train, and overall cared for animals. I have had experience with kittens/puppies and senior animals!

I am open to other times as well as long as I don’t work! I do not offer animals in my home due to having my own cats. Only dog and cat sitting at the clients house! Thank you

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds. I’m very comfortable caring for animals both young and old. I have experience with senior dogs that require daily care (medications/baths/eye and ear cleaning) as well as animals still in training. Whether your pet needs high-energy fun or gentle companionship, I’ll treat them like a member of my family. If boarding at your home I’m also willing to help with gathering mail, watering plants and other small household needs. I’m currently not working many hours at my job and thought this would be a great way to spend my extra time since I love animals. I am responsible for normal activities such as feeding my dog twice a day, and letting her out. I take time daily to play with my dog and enjoy giving her treats. I also find time to wash her, clip her nails, clean her face, etc.
About: Hey there! A little about me, I am a huge animal lover, I grew up with my mom house sitting on rover! So I’m very used to many dogs of all sizes!

I am also a great housekeeper and will clean if it is requested!
About: As far as experience goes there isn’t a time in my life I remember that I wasn’t caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, I’ve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.
About: I’ve been a dog owner since 10 years old and have not gone without mans best friend since! I currently live on 23 acres in the country and long walks and chasing balls packs in most of the day with my 4 dogs Jetta, Odie, Ruby and Rowley. All dogs are dog friendly and well mannered. Graduating puppy classes to canine good citizen classes, plus dabbling in agility and herding. I currently work Weekends Friday-Sunday and my week is filled with lots of outdoor time on my hobbies farm. Lots of free time during the week helps me have fun with my animals and enjoy the sunshine. All my pets are cat and dog friendly and have full freedom of the property. New comers are always on a 12 foot leash during playtime and walks, unless E-collar trained. When first meeting owners I go over your dogs recall manners and slowly introduce them to the pack on a long property walk. This helps incorporate pack leadership and expelling energy at the same time.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I will treat your pet as my own! I will love on them, respect their boundaries they may need, and provide great care for them. I have been dogs for 20 years now and love many kinds of pets! I volunteered at an animal shelter for 6 years and treated each animal as if it were my own! I love to make homemade peanut butter treats for my personal dogs and would love to bring a treat to your fur baby! I have two young kids who are animal lovers them self! We will keep your pet safe and very loved on! I’m open to your schedule and needs that may be required! I’m open to doing drop visits for other animals as well! Look forward to hearing from you! When I’m at home I play and spend time with my two Saint Bernard! I would do the same with your dogs as well. I love to be around pets that’s why I work this into my jobs schedule! I have an open backyard that my dogs go on leashes while they go potty. We also walk our our younger one nightly and get to the dog park several times a month. Therefore, for your loved pet I would be able to do that or let them roam the yard without leash as well. I can take them for walks or to the park if needed.
“Outstanding. Leah had great immediate rapport with Cord and he was always interested in going with her. Leah always prompt, communicative, and cordial. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have been around animals, my whole life it doesn’t matter if it’s my pets, my friends, pets or even my families pets. I have had rabbits, fish, cats, and dogs. When I was first born and at a very young age, my parents had a cat named Misty. Misty was a farm cat, and I learned at the young age of how to take care of a pet and a cat. It didn’t matter if it was giving the cat exercise, feeding the cat, giving it water or even cleaning out the litter pan. I also at a young age at around eight learned how to take care of a dog as my family got a golden retriever. We got this golden retriever named Sam from Humane Society, and Sam was an older dog about eight years old. I learned how to take care of an older dog, feeding it, giving exercise and water, and of course playing fetch, because what golden retriever doesn’t like fetch. After these animals, I got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Again I learned how to take care of Cowboy by feeding Cowboy, giving Cowboy water and emptying the litter pan along with playing with Cowboy. Cowboy was a bit younger when I got him and was about eight months old. After cowboy, I was Lucky enough to get a black lab as a puppy, named Lucky. I named Lucky Lucky because what dog is not lucky to have me as their owner to take them on runs! Lucky was about four months old and again a potty trained Lucky, took Lucky to training classes and also trained Lucky on my own at home helping Lucky to learn to sit stay and play. After Lucky I got a rescue dog named Dyno, Dyno was a rescue dog from a high kill shelter in Alabama and when I did a DNA test on Dyno, Dyno came out to be a black lab pointer mix with a little bit of terrier and boxer in her as well. Dyno was approximately four months old as well when I got her. I helped Dyno learn to be potty trained took her to training classes and train her at my house as well. I helped Dyno to learn, sit and stay, and also place along with playing dead. I recently just moved out of my house, and unfortunately Dyno had to stay with my parents, because Dyno doesn’t get along with other dogs as well. I did have to be very cognizant, while I took care of Dyno, to make sure Dyno did not injure or hurt other dogs, and keep Dyno safe as well, so I’m very good at making sure and keeping track of dogs when they’re along with other dogs so that they don’t fight. I am smart and know the signs dogs have if they are nervous, worried, or scarred. I moved in with my fiancé, who has a seven year-old golden retriever named Molly, and I am currently taking care of Molly. Molly is an unbelievable golden retriever dog, loves to go for runs and play fetch. If you have a dog that loves to go for runs or walks I will gladly take them for runs and walks to get my exercise in with them. What dog does not like to go for a run? Hope I can help you walk/run and take care of your animals just like I love to take care of my own! I am a police officer and have many days off during the week. So if you need someone to let your furry friends out while at work I am perfect for that. One week I work Monday Tuesday Friday to Sunday. I’m off Wednesday and Thursday the following week off Monday Tuesday and the weekend. In my professional life, I am a police officer, so not only do I take care of animals in my personal life, but also in my professional life when they are lost, and I need to get them back to the owner, or even dropping them off at the Humane Society so they are safe. Recently on the Snowmobile Trail. I actually found a kitten and was able to get the kitten to come to me so that it did not freeze to death in the woods and get it to a business near the Snowmobile Trail so that it could be returned to the Humane Society to stay safe . Based off of my schedule in my professional life of being a police officer, I have many days off during the week. So if you’re at work and need your furry friends to be let outside, I am the perfect person. As I have many off days on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday while others are working. I can explain my schedule better however here is a break down. Week one. I work Monday Tuesday Friday Saturday Sunday. I am off Wednesday and Thursday Week two. I only work Wednesday and Thursday off the rest of the week. Even if you are home and you’re an individual that doesn’t like to go for runs or walk or are older, I could take care of your animal and let them out take them for a walk or run while you were at home as well, just to get them exercise, I would be happy to do that because then I get my exercise as well. On the weekends, I would be available most all the time as well, unless I am busy, but I would do drop in short notice type calls as well! With me working in the school during the school year, I have off days during the school year that your kids are off as well. So spring break I am open all day, or just even random days during the week they are off as well. So please keep that in mind. In the summer I am free at 2pm to let your dog outside. My schedule just changed and I work night shift. So I am available anytime during the day as long as I’m not sleeping. The days I work stays the same regarding off days and not. Right now I am not planning on having dogs or cats stay at my house with my dog Molly, so this is not something you need to worry about however, if I’m walking or taking your dog for a run, I would make sure to bring my light up light collar for your dog so that your dog is safe whether it’s dark out. If you have one I would use yours. This will make sure your dog has your collar on with its leash and keep your dog or cat safe.
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or simply giving a dog some extra affection, I treat every pup like my own. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training, and caring for senior dogs or puppies I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks throughout the week. I love being outdoors and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog. Walks are always on a leash, and I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort. At home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I can also follow any specific instructions you give to keep your dog’s routine consistent.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12 years old. I have worked with animals of all ages and personalities. I've had experience in taking care of pets with special medical needs. My schedule is very open and flexible. I am accustomed to waking up early around 5:30 am which is perfect for morning walks and exercise. I have a fenced in yard with no other animals present. I live nearby a beautiful open space which is excellent for walks and exercise.
About: We have cared for dogs for many years. We have 2 acres of land for your furry friend to play on! We have a fenced in play area too. We also have goats and bunnies for the doggies to watch in their play area (no interaction). We hope you'll consider letting us make a new friend with your pup! We prefer to take additional dogs on weekends and during summer right now. We will consider longer stays, but work during the day, so your dog would need to be kenneled during this time Dogs are free to roam inside and outside during the day. Your dog will be supervised at all times. We prefer a crate at night for your dog, but can work around it if necessary!

“Josh and Cheryl were absolutely incredible with our dog, Tuck. He’s a high-energy, challenging pup who needs a lot of stimulation, and they went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for, engaged, and happy. They were attentive, active, and cared for him like their own. When his collar broke, they even bought him a new one without hesitation—such a thoughtful gesture that speaks to how much they truly care. We also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—if we could give more than 5 stars, we would!”
“April and family were amazing! I was nervous at first, however quickly was at ease with all the updates and photos I received. They treated Allie like family and she looked so happy hanging out with them I wasn’t sure she would want to come home! Hahaha”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”

About: Large yard and house, work from home and dog owner. He’s great with dogs, let me know if you need help. Plenty of attention to give. I work from home so I am attentive and able to be interactive at all times. I have a large yard but prefer to keep my dog leashed I have a 3 year old dog lab mix. He’s a baby but big. Great at dog parks and with other dogs, plenty of space.

“Cortney was really accommodating and great with Bo. Also prompt in communicating and shared pictures and a video of Bo during his stay. Her dog was a great playmate for Bo and he had a blast. I would recommend Coutney!”
“Kerry and Bruce took incredible care of our dogs while we were away. They were so caring and loving toward them, and we always knew they were in great hands. The regular updates gave us total peace of mind, and it honestly felt like our dogs were on their own little vacation. We’re pretty sure we found lifelong doggie friends and people friends too. Highly recommend!”
