1. Betsy A.
“Betsy was fantastic! We had a last minute need for pet sitting, and we're so glad to have found Betsy. She came for a meet & greet and you could tell right away how awesome and loving she is with animals. She did drop-in care for our elderly pitbull mix dog and tabby cat, one of who has special needs and medications. She was really communicative, and there was never a moment we were worried for our pets. We would absolutely recommend Betsy and hire her again for future needs!”

14. Brittany M.
About: I have extensive experience working with many types of Animals in different settings and circumstances including; 5 years in a veterinary hospital and humane society as well as 2+ years working with farm animals. I am a "stay at home-steader" with nearly 10 acres and plenty of time to devote to your pet(s). I am home most days, my schedule is pretty open. Adding additional petcare does not change my routine much since I'm already working on my homestead. I like to get to know each pet as an individual with their own preferences and boundaries. I like to try and meet them on their own terms and am attentive to behavior and health cues.
15. Lauren B.
“Lauren was excellent!! Very responsible and trustworthy. I would definitely hire her again. She was very flexible with dates when things changed unexpectedly.”
16. Shelli H.
About: Ive been taking care of dogs my whole life. We actually had Beagle puppies born in our bathroom 13 years ago. I've raised 5 dogs all together. We have 1 left. He's our baby. I will love your dog like my own. I will take care of them like you do. I'm not working so I have plenty of time to walk, play and love on your pet! I babysit my grandkids every Thursday so they woukd have kids to play with if you so choose! I have a fenced area in my yard, a doggie door and a very friendly senior dog. He's a little loud sometimes, since he's a Beagle but it's all love. Your fur baby will be super happy here. Of you prefer I come to you that is perfectly fine too. I will make sure your pet is happy when I leave!
17. Bessie P.
“We have a rescue dog that is always very apprehensive when anyone new comes in our home. The first time Bessie came to visit I was unaware of her love of animals especially dogs. Our dog Chloe was very leery of Bessie at first but within minutes was responding to her, Bessie was very patient and calm. She spoke to her in a very soft and loving voice which Chloe responded to very quickly. Now when Bessie comes to visit Chloe is the first one to greet Bessie with lots of love and kisses for her. I would trust Bessie with any dog of mine she is very trustworthy I would have her in my home dog sitting and caring for my pets with absolutely no apprehension.”
18. Michael P.
“Mike has watched my cats on multiple occasions and always does a wonderful job taking care of them. He makes sure to spend time with them, play with them, and always sends me pictures to show me how they are doing. He is always my go to when I am out of town and I would highly recommend him to take care of your pets whether dogs or cats!”
