“Jessica took great care of our dog during a 4-night stay. Communication was easy, drop-off and pick-up were smooth, and everything went just as expected. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. Would book with her again!”

“Karmen is a great sitter. Will definitely use her again She keeps you updated with pictures and texts to let you know how your pet (family member) is doing and that makes me feel better when I have to leave her. My dog is sometimes shy around new people but immediately took to Karmen on first visit. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”

“Our dog Spirit had a wonderful time with Cheryl and Gary they treated her just like she was theirs. They have a huge yard for plenty of exercise and play space. They were wonderful to work and communicate with. We will definitely call on them again.”

About: Dogs are my favorite. I know how to administer medication and calm them down if they are stressed Sr babies are also welcome. Love all I am a stay at home mom currently in school at home. This is a great way for me to take care of babies and earn money doing something I love. I have two fenced in areas. Babies are always watched while we’re outside at play and during potty time. They are never left alone or out of my sight.

“Brooke and Andrew provided a reassuring stay for my Boston Terrier. We visit Great Wolf Lodge a couple of times a year, so it’s nice to know my BT has a fun time while we’re away. Thanks again, Brooke and Andrew!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. From puppies to seniors it’s a wonderful journey. I’v been training dogs my whole life, but recently got into more experienced obedience with my newest dog. Taking care of my dogs is the best part of my day, and I want to make it special for your pups too! I currently work part-time so I will have more time to spend with your pups! I’m available Monday-Thursday from 8am-3pm and occasionally on Saturday. I want the best care for your furry friends! I currently own 2 dogs who are crated at night. All pets are fed twice a day (morning and night). I want to make sure your pups get the best from me especially on walks. If we come across hot pavement I always pick up my dogs so they don’t burn their feet (if your pet has shoes, that would be great). If we come across any dogs, ill make plenty of space and distractions so no arguments break out!
“We left our labradoodle pup with her for 2 nights and she patiently loved him through his separation anxiety! We also failed to understand that most folks leave food for their fur family and she handled that for us as well with no complaint! Thx Torri!!”

About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
“Our pup had the best time with Melanie and Chris! We received multiple photos and updates during his stay at their home. You could tell our pup felt immediately at home and cared for. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!!”

About: I have worked many years in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I can work with the newest puppy members or the senior fur baby. I can keep them on your schedule or keep it relaxed whatever you need. I can continue with leash, house/potty, crate, or any other trainings. I've worked with multiple animals breeds and personalities, all would be loved and cared for. I work from home so my schedule is pretty open. I'm near many walking trails to stretch our legs or many cozy places for the fur babies to cuddle up and take a nap. I have many toys and space for play, I can accommodate crates or other needed accessories to help your fur baby and create that home away from home feeling. I have oncle cat that has been raised around cats, dogs, children, and other small animals, he's friendly with everyone. I can do overnights or drop ins for those unexpected life moments. I'm near many parks and trails so your fur baby would get the exercise they need.
About: Book me this summer!!! I’ve been taking care of animals for seven years. I can’t wait to see your fur babies. Hit me up so we can speak to each other! Book me this summer!! Any time of the week I am mostly available. I just need to know ahead of time but I am willing to work with your schedule. I follows directions very well I also run track so if your animals loves to run best believe I’ll run with them. My dogs did pass away due to just being sick or old age. So animals always hold a big place in my heart.
