“Sunny always does such a nice job at getting my dogs in and out of the salon quick. They look great each time we come in. Even as my dogs are getting older and cranky with grooming appointments; she gets them looking like puppies again.”


2. Casey D.

“Casey is so sweet and is great with all animals. Even though I had her walking our dog, she gave attention to our cat too. Prompt communication.”


3. Amina M.

“Amina is really good with our dog. He can't wait to go on walks with her.”


4. Baylee E.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Baylee for almost 10 years now and I have always known her to be about her dogs, first and foremost. She is one of, if not the most attentive dog parents I've ever known. Her oldest has lived a long a healthy life due to the care that Baylee has given her over the years. Her reason for owning her is due to the neglect she was dealing with from previous owners. Baylee's dogs are her children. Amenities, medical care, physical activity, and affection are all important when it comes to them. All of her friends would say the same, which is why she is their first option when they need a dogsitter. She is no stranger to cats, either. But dogs are her specialty. Any pet under her care has nothing to worry about. She's adaptable and patient, probably from her experience working with the elderly, and will ask questions if need be. She's the ideal sitter.”


5. Allen G.
“Allen is a patient and responsible animal lover. I have every confidence’s he will care for animals in his care with great care. You can count on him to do his best for you and your pet.”

7. Janie S.
“Janie is the best!!! Janie is also my neighbor and every time my dogs go outside they check to see if Janie is outside. My dogs love when she comes over and they don’t even miss us! She is respectful of our home and leaves things as they were. She is amazing!!”

9. Jenniffer H.
“Jenniffer is amazing. I have 2 high anxiety dogs who struggle with letting others take care of them. Jenniffer to the extra time to help them feel comfortable. I will continue to use Jenniffer every time. If you want your 4 legged family taken care of, Jenniffer is incredible.”

About: I used to work at a dog kennel a couple years ago. For years I would also volunteer at the shelter in my home town. I’ve always had a dog with me while growing up and of course even now, I can’t imagine not having at least one! I’ve had dogs from all ages from puppies to old babies! I have 5 dogs (all different sizes) and 3 cats! I’ve baby sat my friends dogs and cats and neighbors pets like birds, rabbits, lizards, and handful of others plenty of times too! I’ve been around all kinds of animals and have owned a good diversity of animals. I absolutely adore animals and treat them like they are my babies. I’d love to help you out and take care of your pet while you are away or even let them come over for some doggy daycare! Pet sitting is becoming my full time job! I have plenty of time for my babies and I’ll have plenty of time for yours :) My life revolves around my pets! I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I normally play with them in my backyard for at least an hour in the afternoon. They love to sunbathe outside so I like to sit outside with them and read. I have a kiddie pool that they love to play in too! In the evenings I take them on a walk through our neighborhood as well. At least one weekend day I’ll either take them to the dog park or on a longer hike/ walk which they absolutely love. I have devoted my days to pet sitting so I am available almost always. I take care of my own animals from sun up till sun down! I have a big fully fenced in yard that my dogs absolutely love! I normally am outside with them playing with them or just to keep an eye on them!


11. Jessica V.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs for over 13 years and dog sat for 9 years. I am great at following directions and paying attention to detail, while also giving friendly and personal care. I not only like to make sure the dogs are well fed and walked but that they also get engaging playtime and petting to their liking! I have worked on basic training for 3 dogs and basic agility training for 1 dog. I also have experience working with senior dogs and dogs that have special care needs. Overall, I like to make sure that the owners (and dogs!) are always happy at the end of my work. I am currently a student in college. I am in student teaching 7:30-3:30 but can care for your dogs right before/after any time. I am available for house sitting or stop ins any day of the week. With my schedule, I am very flexible to changes or last minute needs as well. I am open to short bookings to let your pups out or longer bookings to stay and play! In owners’ homes I always make sure to take care of it as if it is my own. A clean and safe environment is always a priority that I ensure to keep when house sitting or stopping by to take care of dogs. I would not hesitate to help enforce house rules for the dogs and myself in regards to using furniture, going in certain rooms, mistreating items, or any other requests asked of me. I want to make sure your house is just the way it was, or better, when you return.

My cat taz has an old soul and is very friendly.


14. Anna W.
“Anna has taken care of many pets when she was younger and now continues to take care of animals by working at pet daycares or through her own pets at home. She has a strong affection towards any animal and would do anything to care for it.”


15. Rylie H.
About: I have worked in a dog boarding/daycare facility for 2.5 years. I have learned valuable caring abilities, and I have worked with all ages and breeds. I am very knowledgeable about dogs and their displayed behaviors as well! I'm willing to be flexible on you and your dog's needs. I know how stressful it can be to find someone to care for your fur babies, but I will treat them just like my own! I would be available to do in house sitting for you pet or small check-ins/walks for you. I have two golden retrievers that mean everything to me. I’m currently in the process of working on starting a small business, and I have a very flexible schedule! I take online classes that would not interfere with anything. I am available very often throughout the week and weekends to customize a schedule for your pet care. I have two young golden retrievers that are young and friendly. I have two large kennels that can be used if need be, along with a fenced in yard. For appointments in a client's home/check-ins, I will care for your pet just as you do! I can follow your daily routine along with any customization you would like (walks, playtime, etc.). I would be available to stay overnight if you wanted, or come for check-ins. I will provide several photo and text updates throughout the appointments so you can keep updated on your pets!




16. LeAnn C.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life. Pets are part of the family and I understand it’s hard to leave pets unattended during the day or difficult to travel with them. My calm and positive attitude allows dogs to feel comfortable around me. Animals are smart and know if they can trust outside people. I have lots of experience with dogs and own a very energetic lab/cattledog/pit mix. She is very sweet and loves to play. I love walking and/or running dogs multiple distances. I live in a house with a fenced in yard. I live near trails and can walk your animal on sidewalks or trails. I have two children that love animals. They will play with dogs, but know not to get in an animals space if they do not like it. I would love to be the person to attend to your animal during the day or when you are on a trip! :) I am away from the house a few hours per day for work and then back at home to finish work. I usually work my dog three times per day. I have a fenced in yard and one friend dog. I can crate your dog if needed or they can roam the house if they are trained.


17. Emily S.
About: I work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility although I haven’t worked there to long but that doesn’t change my love for animals! I personally have 2 dogs, 4 cats and a bunny named Ace. I’ve cared for a lot of animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, ferrets, snakes, geckos, bearded dragons, mice and rats you name it I’ve pry had it or had some experience with them. Big or small, young or old, I’d love to help your animals out in anyway I can!🐾🐶🐱 I work full time at my dog daycare/boarding job, but I have an hour off for lunch on week days that I work and work every other weekend with 4 hours break between my 2 shifts, but can always find time to make things work. I’ll do anything in my power to make sure your dog / cat is completely safe and comfortable with me, as I would my own animals


18. Clarity B.
“I know clarity would be perfect for this job because she has always been very kind and caring to her own animals and mine, she has cared for my dog and done the best job she could do.”


19. Sydney H.

“Sydney is amazing! She was on time, sent pictures and updates throughout the day. The best part, Thor seemed to be happy and wore out when we got home!”


20. Sydney S.

“Sydney was communicative, attentive, and wonderful to book for our dog care. We have an 80lb rescue puppy who has a lot of character and she was able to handle him perfectly. Our 25lb princess, who can be selective, was in love with Sydney! They were both happy and exhausted after their walk with her. Will be rebooking!!!”
