“Summer is a great sitter, I know boy is in good hands when he's over. She gives you lots of updates and pictures which we really appreciate. Also she was very flexible with plans which makes life easy!”
“Super nice and friendly, gives updares and provides pictures every day and flexible on pickup and drop off times. Definitely recommend 💯 and will leave my dogs with her any day.”
“You can’t go wrong leaving your furry family member with Kel. She is an absolute gem! She is attentive and caring…sends pictures throughout the stay with notes on how well it’s going. Her golden retriever, Kel, made fast friends with my goldendoodle. We have already signed up for her next visit and highly recommend Kel’s services to anyone wanting reliable and compassionate care for their animal.”

About: Dog sitting is a hobby of mine, I have done this for roughly 8 years for friends & family, excited to extent my services to new clients. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, even with my full-time job from 7 to 4. In the mornings before work, I make sure to feed my pet, refresh their water, and take them out for a walk or bathroom break. After work, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s a longer walk, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’ve built pet care into my daily habits so their needs are always met reliably. In my home, I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a medium-sized dog door that allows pets to go outside for bathroom breaks or fresh air as needed, which helps them stay comfortable and active throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get enough exercise, and feel safe in their environment. I pay attention to details like cleaning up after them, refreshing water, and keeping their living space tidy and secure.

“I highly recommend this wonderful dog-sitting family! They always take excellent care of Koda, they also went above and beyond by accommodating extra hours when my flight was delayed. Koda did not want to leave and can’t wait for his next stay!”
“Ann Marie is absolutely Amazing! She has watched our babies on 3 different occasions. She has watched them on short stays and long stays. She is our go to sitter. Her communication is excellent, she is loving to our babies and the other dogs that we see when we are dropping off or picking up. I can't say enough about her. Our babies love going to her and they feel like they are home when they are there.”
About: I own a Belgian Malinios + a Pitbull/Australian Shepherd mix. I will pet sit any fur baby you need me to! Before those pets I had a German Shepherd. I would love to take care of your baby and keep it safe and content while you get away from home wether it be for work, vacation, or medical. I have school, Monday-Thursday from 7:45am-11:45am. Once i come home i am able to come and pet sit. I have routines for my own animals so if you have a routine i would love to know it so i can abide! I have no current job due to personal issues but i have transportation. I drive myself there and i will have plenty time to play, care for, and keep your sweetheart safe. I keep one of my dogs in a large pen outside to keep him off the road. I go out to play with him 2-3 hours every day. With my puppy she stays inside and we play after every long nap she has and makes sure she goes outside with me very 30 minutes to ensure no accidents. If she has one it is immediately cleaned up and sanitized! She also gets enforced nap time in her crate to ensure she gets proper rest when she refuses her sleep times and becomes restless. I do not hit animals i just bring them outside for a bit until their next potty and reward. As for my cats they live inside with a litter box that is emptied out every other day. They get played with after their naps and i make sure no accidents happen on the floor with them.
