“I hired Arianna to house sit and watch our cat while we were away for a few days. I was very pleased with the quality of care she provided and I would definitely use her services again. My cat can be rather high maintenance and Arianna handled all of her attitude and whims so well! 🙂 I also appreciated the updates and photos that she sent throughout the stay.”
About: I've lived with animals my whole life and even taken care of newborn kittens more than once, along with caring for my 3 cute dogs. I work a 6am-2:30pm job monday-friday but I am free on Tuesday's &Thursday's during the week. I'm also free after 1pm on every other weekend. I care for people's pets how I would care for mine, with love and patience even getting them out to play or for a walk.
“Becky did an incredible job for our cat Suna. It was our first time leaving him alone for a weekend, but Becky made us feel at ease by going above and beyond and letting us know about the slightest changes in mood or behavior. She also spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with Suna and even washed his food containers. We could not be more happy. Becky, thank you so much and please come again!”
“Emily was amazing! So friendly and our cats all LOVED her, which is crazy because normally they aren’t all keen on new people. She was prompt and updated us immediately with several pictures and how they were doing. Thanks, Emily!”
About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.
About: I started my dog watching journey when I was about 16. I used to watch a friend's dogs whenever she was away. Even when she was at work when her older dog was ill. I have a kinship with dogs like no other. It's only in the last 5 years that I've developed that with cats as well. I have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate any needs you have. I will update my calendar as to my availability at least every 2 weeks. I can accommodate 1 or 2 dogs only on the weekends. But, in your home I will respect everything. I won't mess anything up and if I do I'll return it better than I left it.
“Melissa did a fantastic job caring for Oliver! I looked forward to receiving her updates each day and seeing the adorable photos she managed to capture of my boy :) I could tell Oliver was in great hands and enjoyed his time with her.”

“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”

“Christy is such an awesome dog sitter I would recommend her to anyone. Sent me lots of videos and pictures and I look forward to having her care for my puppy again soon!”
“Liloo loves Scott and his squad of pups. She was antsy and anxious when we first dropped her off but on a subsequent 2 week boarding stay, she blossomed! Scott sent regular updates (complete with photos) of how she was doing: from sulking and guarding the oven in the kitchen, to letting loose playing, to napping with the other doggos. I send Liloo to Scott for day care now and shes so happy frolicking with the dogs and enjoying treats!”
“Great experience, Brandi was able to accommodate my Velvet in short notice when we needed it the most, sent picture updates regularly and that made me feel more comfortable, also Velvet liked going back there which means Velvet enjoyed it too.”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Lovely family..so animal friendly. Our baby loves going to Morgan's home. She had the ability to learn how to be gentle with littles...run like crazy outside and play nice with other pups”
“Becky is everything you could hope for from a pet sitter. We were in her area for a funeral and left our dog with her for the day. The experience was great. Her communication was excellent, she has a gorgeous dog-friendly neighborhood and home, and she took excellent care of our dog. She and her kids returned him to us happy and tired, which is no small feat. I would go far out of my way to leave our dog with Becky again. Thanks so much!”
“Nick and his wife took excellent care of my two dogs! They sent pictures with updates throughout the day. I will definitely use them again if the need arises. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”

About: I am a veterinary technician student at Northcentral Technical College, looking to gain as much experience with fur babies as I can. I have trained and taken care of my own dogs since I was 11. I have taken care of family dogs for just as long as well. Being in school for my major I deal with dogs and cats daily with all kind of attitudes and sizes. I am currently at home full-time so I will be able to care for and play with your fur babies five days a week for most of the day. I have my own friendly pup who loves to play if he ever meets your fur baby. I can also crate your fur baby if you want me to when I leave!

About: I have taken in many animals of all kinds throughout the years , Persistent and accountable caretaker. It is important to me to make a difference to all walks of life. Currently I am staying home with my young children, I am available most days of the week! And am flexible to you and your pets wishes. I have a few aquarium animals, no dogs or cats, but I also care for some of the animals next door quite often. We have small children if your pet is tolerable of them and crating is optional per your request.
About: I have had pets in my household for as long as I could remember. Growing up we had cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. In high school, I watched family and neighbors pets while they were away. In college, I got a job at a humane society. Here, I learned how to care for sick animals, administer medications, give vaccinations, treat fleas, remove ticks, take care of puppies and seniors, and much more to make sure all the animals were healthy. Also, I learned how to deal with aggressive and behavioral dogs/cats. Now, I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Most of them were rescues. I am currently a substitute teacher while I go back to school for my teaching degree. Days vary but typically I will be working 8 hours a day if I do get a job for the day. On weekends, I normally don’t have anything going on. I have a fenced in backyard that allows my dogs to run and use the bathroom. In the morning and at night, I take them for walks. In the afternoon, I take my GSP for a run. On weekends, we like to go to Sniffspots or hiking. In a clients home, I will take them for walks, play in the fenced in backyard if applicable, and sometimes with permission will take them hiking.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for 29 years+ From my own to families and friends. There is NOTHING more that I love, than dogs!! My two labs I’ve raised since 6 weeks old. I talk to my two babies all day long. If I’m not with my boys, I’m constantly thinking of them and wanting to know how they are!

They give me the happiness that my loved ones do because they are “my loved ones too!” Some people say I’m a dog whisper. I live and breathe for my 2 dogs I currently have. Ages 10 and 12! I enjoy seeing them run, play, tail wag and smile! I’m home with them daily and talk to them as if they can understand ;) they are my Velcro babies and I wouldn’t have it any other way!!
