Claire did a great job of bonding with our beagle. Bailey can get a bit of separation anxiety when we leave her, but Claire stuck with it and the two ended up getting along well. Also, she left the house probably cleaner than we left it. We would absolutely hire her again.

This was the first time we had someone dog sit in our home. It was the best decision we made for our little guys. Brent gained the trust of all 3 of our guys quickly. He kept us informed which allowed us to enjoy our vacation because we knew our guys were being well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to Brent again.

Kylee did a GREAT job and was wonderful with my 2 pups!! She also was extra helpful with a few things around the house as well while we were gone. She allowed my pups to sleep with her and cuddle up to her on the couch. We will DEFINITELY be using her again!!!

About: Trusting someone other than yourself to provide the best care for your pet can be a difficult endeavor. As someone who works in animal welfare, seeing the need for trustworthy, experienced caregivers on a daily basis, I would like to offer my services! I have worked at my local animal shelter for nearly 5 years, providing care for 50+ animals on any given day. I began as a kennel tech (aka professional poop scooper & dog snuggler) for a local animal shelter and grew alongside the company as it expanded until I eventually became the manager at our second location. I have extensive experience not only providing care for the animals within our shelter, but communicating with the adopters along their adoption journey & ensuring that the animals new life is nothing short of amazing post-adoption. I truly love every opportunity to connect with people and their pets! Rest assured, your pets happiness and health is my upmost priority, aside from ensuring that you are satisfied with my work. I would appreciate the opportunity to provide the best care possible for your little worlds!! I do currently work full time managing an animal shelter, so my schedule can occasionally be limited and chaotic, however I try to be as flexible as possible so don’t hesitate to ask if I can make something work! On my days off & occasional evenings, I am fully available and eager to care for your pets! Please reach out if there are any schedule concerns. While I do have extensive experience caring for pets, I am committed to ensuring that animals receive the consistent & proper care that they are accustomed to. I strive to ensure the owner feels confident that their pets received nothing less than the best!

About: Hi! I’m Sarah, an experienced, reliable pet caregiver and lifelong animal lover. My son and I recently said goodbye to our beloved dog of 12 years, and while we aren’t quite ready to welcome a new pet of our own, we deeply enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach—meeting each dog where they are and offering just-right levels of activity, enrichment, and rest based on their needs, age, and energy. Our home is calm, clean, and well-supervised. We live near the levee and regularly walk the nearby forested river trails, which many dogs love for gentle exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. I prioritize safety, routines, clear communication, and plenty of affection, including snuggles and relaxed indoor downtime. My 9-year-old son is kind, gentle, and very respectful with animals, and he especially loves quiet companionship and playtime (always supervised). Your pet will be treated like a valued family member, and you can expect dependable care, thoughtful attention, and regular updates while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for walks, play, and check-ins, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends, to match your pet’s routine. Pets are always supervised in a calm, clean home. I follow routines, respect boundaries, involve my gentle, animal-savvy child appropriately, and communicate clearly with owners.

Claire is THE BEST pet sitter we have EVER had! She is the kindest person and was so fast at responding back while we were away. I could tell our Sampson was comfortable and happy with her and she took the best care of him. We will absolutely be booking with Claire again in the future!! So happy to have found her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a very long time. I own a cockapoo named BaeLee and she is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. I take care of my family’s and friend’s dogs all the time from watching them, playing with them, feeding them, and walking them. I am very good with dogs and can be very patient if I need to be. I take care of my pup daily. From the time I wake up until I go to sleep I am always attentive to her needs. Every now and then I’ll take care of my uncles dog throughout the day and take him out every two hours. I am very nice and patient with animals. I love to pet them and play fetch or tug of war. I do not like to touch other’s things when I go to their houses and I respect their rules. I don’t do what I wouldn’t like done in my home to other’s homes.

Adam and Chelsea provided excellent care to my three dogs! They kept my house clean! I can’t give them any more than five stars, but I would give them 10 if I could. Hopefully I can be a repeat customer if the dogs didn’t scare them off too bad. Adam and Chelsea, thank you for making me feel comfortable that my dogs were in wonderful hands! You guys are the best!!!

Katelynn house, dog, and cat sitted for us for an extended weekend away. She kept us up to date with plenty of photos and messages. We had an early morning flight and she went out of her way to let our pup outside (in the pouring rain) at 6am before she headed to work for the first day. Furthermore, we came back to a picked up house with clean sheets and towels in the guest room. 11/10 rating from my wife and I! Thanks for taking great care of our fur babes! We will certainly be booking with Katelynn for future trips and care. ?
