“Colleen was wonderful! She took care of my dog that has issues being around other dogs. She made sure she was taken care of and kept in her designated area. I will definitely be rebooking with her! ❤️❤️”
“Very responsive and responsible. The pups did great and it was a lifesaver to have Sarah come let them out. I highly recommend Sarah and will likely be booking in the future.”
“I recently hired Lara to take care of my cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very beginning, Lara was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout the time I was gone, Lara provided regular updates, including photos and notes about how my cats were doing. The description was so personalized and clearly showed how much she loved caring for them. I also got a personalized Mother’s Day card with my kitties on the card which was an icing on the cake. It gave me so much peace of mind to know that my cats were in such capable and caring hands. I look forward to working with Lara again in future. Thank you Lara.”
“Cali and Skylar were amazing. One of our pups is nervous around strangers and they were okay with taking some time to get to know him and executed the care plan perfectly. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Jennifer is great! She took great care of my cat and kept me in the loop on everything going on at home while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter while they are away.”

“We were very pleased with the care Colleen gave our puppy. She fed walked and played with her. We especially enjoyed the pictures and video she sent us of the puppy. She is reliable and trustworthy. We hope she is available the next time we need someone.”
About: We've been taking care of select dogs for many years for friends and family, knowing that dog owners tend to worry about their pets when they're away and want someone who understands that and will care for their pets as they would. we've always had dogs until recently, I also photograph dogs for fun. We often board a dog who has seizures and requires medication and have watched other unusual dogs including puppies and dogs still healing from surgery. For many years we volunteered at the local humane society. We have a fenced in yard that our late beagle mix of 18 years regularly tried to escape and repeatedly failed. Dogs in our home are considered guests and are treated as such. I currently work from home, so letting dogs out regularly and giving regular attention is no problem at all. I'm done with work in the afternoon which leaves me plenty of time to get dogs out for exercise and socializing. Dorothy, my wife, also has plenty of daytime open for play time and extra loving. I work from home and regularly take play breaks, Dorothy, my wife is home most days and offers lots of love. We try to get to the dog park now and then on the weekends. We have a modest fenced in back yard with a wooded lot behind us, I walk dogs regularly in several areas. We keep also keep a toybox full of dog toys :-)
“Kayla was a delight to have care for my kitty! She was timely and kind with all communications and did an outstanding job. Very caring and quite thorough. Would gladly have her pet sit again!”
About: I grew up with a variety of pets, and I thoroughly love all kinds of animals! My family had a dog about 19years, and we took care of him from puppy years to old age. I have my own dog, Roxy a collie mix, who I raised by myself from 4mo old and she has learned so much! I am a travel nurse so I’m not from the area and I am free any day that I’m not working! I typically do 3 - 12hr night shifts. Since I am not from the area I cannot take animals into my own place, but I am very flexible and willing to accommodate any way that is needed for you and your pet's needs.
“Cassidy is just the best!!!! She is reliable, honest and a loving pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone without hesitation. Loved the care she provided, the updates and photos. She even left an adorable note card thanking me for trusting her with Caden’s care, so awesome!!!”

Lara was so great with my senior dog. I love that she got her outside in the sunshine when she was able. No issues with a specific medication schedule. The visit recap notes with photos/video really eased my anxiety. I can tell Lara loves animals and it made me feel so much better to have her taking care of my dog. I have already shared her profile and recommended to others.
Our dog had a seizure in his kennel before Nicole arrived for her visit. Nicole immediately let us know and did a great job of cleaning up. She was able to extend her stay to make sure our dog was OK before she left. This was very comforting to our dog and ourselves.
I booked Kaitlyn last minute the week before my needed dog sitting after realizing my regular sitter moved out of town. She was available to meet the dogs before the sitting and gave descriptions of how each visit went. I will be booking again in the future. Thanks again!
Stephanie is a wonderful person and dog sitter/walker! From the moment I met her I could tell that she’s a responsible, reliable, and caring person who has a deep love for animals. She kept great communication and took amazing care of my dog. It’s so nice having someone to rely on when I can’t be there! 🐶🐾🦴
