Chyanne was absolutely fantastic! She was always on time, kept us updated with pictures, and went above and beyond by even bringing our trash can back up after trash day while we were out of town. She truly treated our pets like her own, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. I think our pets already miss her! Highly recommend!

Holly provided two days of day and overnight care for our two older labs dogs over a recent weekend in March of 2026. She also came the following week everyday Mon-Friday at lunch to let our dogs out, play, and feed them! She provided excellent care while we were out of town! Handled both of our aging dogs meds and needs! Wonderful communication and we will be booking her again! High recommend!

About: I have taken care of dogs pretty much all of my life. I will give your Pups real one on one care, affection and presence. I am responsive, consistent and someone you can count on in a pinch. I am patient and calm. I will also be able to give you updates. I am retired, so my daily routine will be based around your needs or wants for your pup. I am not juggling a job anymore, so I am open for bookings to help give your dog structure and companionship I do not have the capability, at my home, of having pets at my home due to not having a fenced in yard for their protection.

About: Grew up with cats and dogs. Had cats since 2008. Have a 8 year old black cat and a 6 year old Silver Lab. My dog is bonded to me. I’m normally working full time, so I can come in at the beginning and the end of the day to check up on them to feed and/or take out. I won’t be boarding pets, it will be in your home environment. I can take them out or spend time with them inside, what you choose.

About: Ensure your pet feels safe and loved even when you're not home. My dedicated pet sitting services allow your furry friend to stay in the comfort of their own space. From regular dog walking to attentive care for your pets, I cater to their needs while you're out of town or just away for the day. With a focus on individual attention and affection, your pets will enjoy a stress-free experience. Book with me and give your pets the care they desereve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to give my full attention to each animal I look after. I visit clients’ pets before I start my work day and return directly afterward to ensure they stay on their regular schedule. On weekends — and on weekdays when I have extra time — I go beyond the basics by adding extra playtime, enrichment activities, or simply quality companionship for pets who value one-on-one attention. Whether they’re energetic explorers or calm cuddlers, I make sure each pet feels supported, stimulated, and loved every day their family is away. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure their routines and comfort come first. I provide fresh food and clean water, ensure they have proper potty breaks, and clean up any soiled areas to keep their space tidy and stress-free. Each visit includes 30 minutes to an hour of engagement — whether that’s active play, enrichment activities, or simply relaxed cuddle time depending on what the pet enjoys most. I also handle medication when needed, maintain clean litter boxes, and pay close attention to their overall well-being. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!

I can't say enough good things about Julie other than she made my kitty so so happy while we were gone and I could see that clearly in the pictures she sent us! My kitty was doing snuggles w Julie that I never see her do! And that means she's happy and that all I wanted for my special little kitty who is typically a lil shy, scared and defensive. We are so greatful for Julie.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent over 35 years caring for them and truly understand what makes each one unique. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to their individual needs and routines. I also use positive reinforcement training methods to encourage good habits in a gentle, effective way. Your dog’s happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priorities. My job is basically part-time and flexible and I make my own appointments, so I can fit in long or short pet walks or drop ins visits on a daily basis. I would be available for both long and short walks. I can also provide drop-ins which may require feeding, medications and giving fresh water and love for your pets.

About: I am a veterinary assistant and I am currently trying to get into veterinary school. I have the knowledge and experience to keep your pet safe and take action should any issues arise! I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday as a veterinary assistant. I can stop by during my lunch break and after work as needed, and I am available all day Friday-Sunday! I'm happy to accommodate any request that you might have for your pet, as I know that each one is unique and special in their own way! Personally, my dog has bad allergies, and I know how important it is for him not to deviate from his diet.

CHYANNE IS THE PET SITTER YOU WANT! She is reliable, incredibly attentive to every detail, and truly cares about the well-being of our pets. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated daily with messages and pictures, which gave us (including our kids) so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond, spending real quality time with them and giving them so much love. I swear our animals were smiling in every photo! I can honestly say she is the best. You won’t have to worry one bit about your furry family members while you’re away—she doesn’t just watch your pets, she genuinely cares for them. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.
