“Shelbi is a such a caring person. We feel uncomfortable leaving our cat at home alone (we normally take him with us) and are so thankful to have found Shelbi. She takes such good care of our cat and completely puts our mind at ease knowing he is in good hands. Thank you for spending quality time with our cat and sharing pictures - they mean a lot and are comforting.”


“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”


“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”


“Our family had to go out of town for a funeral without a lot of notice. We had never left our kitties with a stranger before and we were pretty apprehensive about it. But from the first meet and greet through our return home, Kayla did so much to put our minds at ease. Here are some highlights: At the first meeting, it was obvious that Kayla loves animals. I wanted someone here for them whose heart was truly in this job, and her’s really was. She also not only answered all of our questions, she asked some that we weren’t even thinking about (lights, plants) and took detailed notes. While we were gone, Kayla kept our kitties fed, gave one of them his medication, which we expected, but she also took lots of pictures and sent updates about her time with them. And gosh, I loved these updates! They were detailed, and some made me laugh, these updates also kept me from worrying about my pets during a time when I had a lot going on. I would absolutely request Kayla again and I would certainly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter. We came home to happy and well cared for babies!”



“Sue came over for a pre-visit and was wonderful with Tuck! She was very understanding of his quirks and was lovely to talk to! Very flexible and Tuck very much enjoys her visits!”


“Maggie is amazing and very sweet and thorough. From the moment I contacted her, I knew my pups would be well taken care of. She does very well with updating events about the pups and everything she did. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I will definitely be hiring Maggie again! Thank you for everything!”


“Heavyn did a fantastic job watching my 2 dogs and 2 cats. All of them took to her immediately and I could tell she is truly an animal lover. She provided updates with photos and video for each visit. I highly recommend Heavyn!”


“Shaelyn was wonderful with our two pugs. She took the best pictures of them (keepsakes for sure!) and communicated well when she was there with them. We came home to happy pups 🙂. We will certainly be reaching out Shaelyn again the next time our pugs need care!”


“Tatum does a fantastic job with our dog Duke! He loves his time with her! She’s got his schedule down and takes such good care of him! We will definitely continue to use her now and use her in the future!!”


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 currently work Monday-Thursday 7-5 and free Fridays-Sundays. If you are looking to get away for the weekend, I’m your girl. I can visit multiple times a day to make sure your pet is taken care of. 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.

About: I was born an animal lover! 🐾🤍 I grew up with dogs and have never lived without them. I learned basic obedience training around age 8, and have direct experience raising and training 8 different breeds (including stubborn hounds…🤪) from puppies to adults. I’ve dog-sat an additional 10 or so breeds, and I’m very knowledgeable in general about most breeds. My mom and I used to watch Dogs 101, Cesar Milan, and AKC dog shows religiously! I started volunteering at the humane society in high school and continued well beyond. I have supported foster organizations and even fostered some dogs and cats myself. I have also raised hamsters, guinea pigs (even built them a pig mansion! 🤭), rabbits, and saltwater fish. I truly mean it when I say I’m an animal lover! I am working full-time currently at a 9-5, but I work from home on Fridays. So I am available all day Friday-Sunday and every evening for walks or cuddles or potty breaks. 😊 I can also board cats and small animals any day of the week. Your pet’s comfort and routine is #1! I will care for them just like you would and will stick to their usual schedule. I always ensure a smooth introduction and a calm environment for your pet(s). I will refresh food and water if needed, return leashes to their proper place, and lock doors upon leaving. I am super flexible & I’m here for you (and your babies 🐕🦺🐈🐹🐠)!

About: I have so much love for every pet I meet! I treat every pet like they're my own with respect, affection, and a sense of fun. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m a clear communicator and will send updates and photos if wanted! Also, I will always keep a space clean and organized! Let me know your pet’s routine, quirks, or special needs and I’m here to help! Caring for your pet will be the best part of my day! Right now I have plenty of time to take care of pets during the day. I am available all day and will revolve my personal schedule around popping in to see these furry friends! I have 3 dogs all different sizes and they are each my best friends! Everyday I take them out, make sure they have water and food throughout the day, and make sure their needs are met. I spend a lot of time cuddling up with them and playing their favorite activities with them. I also do the same with any other dog, I treat them all like my own and make them feel loved and happy! My goal is always to make them feel safe when their owners aren’t around.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to pigs and cows. I love any and all animals. my husband is getting tired of me asking for more animals so we compromised on me getting to love your babies as if they’re my own! All of my dogs I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old, so i’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training & basic command training. I’m a stay at home mama so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. We love to spend time outside playing and enjoying nature! We have a nice, big fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. Plenty of toys and bones for everyone to share. My toddler absolutely loves to give hugs and snuggle the animals. If anyone were to not get along or need to be kept separate, I can absolutely accommodate! I am fully insured with pet boarding specific insurance. Your family members are protected with me. I am happy to provide you with the proof of insurance, if you prefer!

About: I’m an experienced floor nurse who works 3 days a week and am looking to fill my time on days off.
