We’d used Bonnie for over-night pet care. Bonnie was attentive to the needs of our dogs and dependable. When something unusual came up, she was able to make things work. We plan to use her in the future.

Linda stepped in on very short notice after my original sitter canceled, and she was fantastic. She took great care of my fur babies, followed my instructions closely, and even left the house cleaner than I left it. When I got home, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well exercised. I’d absolutely trust Linda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Kayla did an amazing job accommodating all of our requests and made us feel very comfortable leaving our boys with her! She kept us updated and sent us all the pictures we asked for. The dogs were so comfortable I’m not even sure they realized we were gone. We will definitely be using her in the future!

About: I LOVE my doggos. I have had a dog in my life since I was 4, large and medium are typically my bread and butter. I know the little dogs can be timid but I can snuggle them until they tolerate me 😬. I am a millennial dog/cat mom, so you know I love scritches, belly rubs, snuggles, and giving treat-o’s. My dog doesn’t fetch but I’ll play with yours til the cows come home! I worked for a dog groomer as the bathing attendant for two summers as a kid, so if your babies need a quick bath while I’m there, depending on how they can handle it with a new person, I am available. I’m versed in giving pets medication, so no need to worry if your pupper needs a little something to help them stay healthy! I work from home full time currently, but if I need to leave during the day to go check on your fur baby/they’re on a bathroom/medication schedule, my boss is very lenient and lets me make up time. Walks would primarily only be available in the afternoons/evenings to avoid the heat around here. I am very organized and like to write down any rules/quirks/schedules that your pet needs to be on. I’m also not afraid to ask/answer questions, so if you’re open to conversations via the app, I’m your girl! There are pet walking areas within minutes of my home that I can take your pet to, if you feel comfortable with that, or I can walk them around the neighborhood, also.

Leigha was a wonderful sitter. We asked her to watch our dog for a weekend and she sent tons of pictures, videos, and updates. She was super flexible about timing and she stayed until we got home. Leigha left the house in a wonderful condition and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

We had Monique out to our little farm for the second time to care for our chickens and four cats. We could once again trust her for animal care decisions in our absence, since anything can happen out in the country. She's not squeamish when it comes to critters the cats drag in, and skillfully captured a chip monk that was running around a bedroom. She is thorough and always leaves the place better than she found it.

About: I don’t have any kids I believe I was put on this earth to raise my fur babies and make sure they never have empty bellies. I am pretty much comfortable with mostly any dogs. I don’t do well with bigger dogs that jump as I’m a shorty. I love my senior dogs. My oldest is coming up on 9. I’m comfortable around puppies as well and cleaning up after them if needed. I was raised on a farm so I have experience with chickens and ducks as well as reptiles. I’m comfortable doing snake feedings as long as they are docile. Feeding or watering your farm animals as well for additional fees. I currently work part time and usually weekends only. In the rare event I will pick up a few shifts during the week. I will keep my schedule updated as I know it. I have 3 dogs, small, medium, and large. Two of my dogs are rescues and my other one is a very spoiled chihuahua princess at just 3 pounds. I am more so leaning towards house drop ins. My 3 are older and more laid back so they wouldn’t do well with a hyper dog. My dogs are also on a feeding schedule every night at 7 on the dot is dinner, and they don’t let me forget.
