“She was amazing! Ivy can be a little bratty, but Emma was awesome and got her to warm up quickly! Will definitely rebook with her!!! Always prompt, kind, and caring!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6. I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I currently foster for The Rescue Haven :) My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the pups, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them
“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”
About: My name is Anna, and I'm an avid animal lover. I grew up with pets my entire childhood, and I now have my own cats and a dog! I've walked, fed, and done daily pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. I have worked with many different dogs, cats, and fish. I work a 9 - 5 on weekdays, so I can check on or walk your pet in the mornings or evenings. I’m pretty flexible on weekends! I make pet care my #1 priority! I'm used to waking up early, cleaning up vomit, and the occasional scratch or bite. I also love spoiling all pets with special treats, enrichment games, and lots of play-time. I only want the best for you and your pet. My line of communication is always open. I'll care for your pet like my own.
“Sierra did a great job taking care of my boy! She was friendly and sent photos of his visits. She was on time and he got plenty of love. Definitely will ask her to come back!”
“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”
About: I have a love for all animals, big and small. I have a large dog and smaller dog, as well as a cat. I consider their well being just like I would consider mine.

I have a fenced in back yard, if I choose to board your pet. If not, I’m flexible with hours to let your pet out or just check in.

“Kaiden was phenomenal with our senior dog. He was loving with her and was patient when she was super slow on her walks. He took excellent care of her and had no hesitation when giving her the medications she required. He will take excellent care of your pet and will go above and beyond to show them lots of love! Would absolutely trust him with any of my animals.”

Gabriella B.
“Gabi is absolutely amazing with both dogs and cats! She’s kind, patient, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with animals. Whether she’s taking a dog on a long, energetic walk, playing fetch in the yard, or calmly visiting a cat who just wants some quiet companionship, she always shows so much care and attention. Gabi has looked after my pets like they were her own—making sure they’re fed, exercised, and loved. One thing that really stood out is how attentive she is to each pet’s unique personality. She quickly picked up on what my dog liked (and didn’t like!) and adjusted her approach to make him feel comfortable and happy. She also made time to sit and play with my cat, even sending me photos and updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s rare to find someone who is not only dependable and trustworthy, but also genuinely passionate about animals. I would highly recommend Gabi to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker—you and your pets will be lucky to have her!””
Melinda E.
“Excellent care & kept me informed all the way. Girls were crazy about her. Definitely will hire during my future trips where my ups can’t go. Thanks Melinda!”
