“This was my second time hiring Victoria and what a great experience! She was very communicative, always on time, and was happy to provide updates whenever I asked. My dog absolutely loves her and I will definitely hire her again!”

“It was a holiday weekend and stressful to begin with, especially finding care for Maxx. Rebecca made that the least of my worries. She was really great with Maxx (he is a big boy and can be a handful) and the high points of my days away were her comments and pictures of what they did together and how he was doing. She also did a lot of little things she really didn't have to: taking him for a little walk, scooping my cat's box, taking out the trash, etc. I really could not have made a better choice! Thanks Rebecca!”

“Unfortunately Niko passed before Linda sat for us so she watched axel and sent pics every visit and we felt comfortable with her watching him she did a great job will use her again.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. Currently residing with horses, donkeys, cats, and dogs, I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Currently working part time and from home, I have plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Your babies are guaranteed to come home tired and happy. I have a fenced yard and 3 very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during supervised play time. Willing to crate your dog if needed and take on individual walks.

“Sarah has watched my dog and cat multiple times, and once again, she was amazing with them! My dog is a rescue and has severe anxiety, and she does a wonderful job with him. He trusts her and likes her, and she goes out of her way to gain his trust. I highly recommend Sarah!”

“Jenna was a life saver. We have two sweet 14 year old Australian shepherds who are a little wobbly and don’t see as well as they used to. I was afraid to leave them but Jenna was amazing!! Got tons of pics and updates. It was such a relief. Jenna is a true dog lover and really took care of our guys like they were her own. She spent tons of time with them. I’ll definitely use her again and pass her info along to friends.”

“With next to no notice Karen came to the house and took on the care of three dogs and a cat- and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Friendly, obviously a pet lover and very competent, we are so glad we had the chance to use her services - will definitely be repeat customers!”

About: Responsible, dependable, have three large dogs and two cats of my own, enjoy making sure they are taken care of and well loved. My retirement dream is to have a senior dog sanctuary, love to get out and walk. I work in healthcare. Growing up we also had dogs and they went with us everywhere because they were part of the family. My three crazy pups now are rescues from the shelter, it amazes me no wanted them, shelter pups make the best companions. I will make sure to clean up after them and that they have plenty of fresh water after their walks if hired. For longer visits I would prefer my own house as long as everyone gets along I currently work fulltime Monday thru Friday, available on weekends and evenings. Other times can be discussed. If able can do check ins on unscheduled dates if you are running late getting home Provide sanitary clean up, my yard is fenced in, will not leave unattended in the yard, lots of toys to play with in the yard.

“Melanie was fantastic taking care of my cat, Jimmy. I went out of state for Christmas and had her come twice a day for a week to feed him and clean his litter box. She sent me pics, videos and notes the whole time which was comforting since I had never left him for more than 2 days before this trip. She even took my trash and cleaned out the sink of his bowls. I can definitely recommend Melanie!”

About: What most sets us apart is the level of care we give and how flexible our schedules are. Your dog will likely never be alone. They will also receive organic free range egg and meat snacks as a topper for their kibble, and have a daily forest walk or run. DIVERSE EXPERIENCE We have experience with all kinds of dogs, all ages and temperaments. We will ensure the puppies get proper potty training and are on a proper schedule (can be exactly as you specify). We can also help your dog to not jump up, not pull on the leash, and he'll with basic training like recall, sit, stay. We have cared for many an elderly dog helping them be as comfortable as possible. I was able to help a grieving dog, who did not want to do much of anything, to enjoy running through the woods and playing again. We also have safely had a blind dog in our care as well. I have been around dogs all my life, and I know how to help timid dogs relax, when to give them space and when they need me to simply love on them. For example, we had one dog who would run away from you, but when we finally set him on the couch and pet him he just about melted into a snuggly ball! TRAINING & PHILOSOPHIES I am often learning more about dog psychology and training methods. I only support dominance hierarchies to the extent that it helps the dog. If a dog believes they must be in control because they don’t have a good leader, they will be more stressed out. This is unfair to the dog. I will never be unnecessarily rough with your pet though and I use positive reinforcement first. I have used this experience with success on friends’ and acquaintances’ dogs, as well as my own. My dog sits for over a minute until I tell him to Come. I see each animal as a unique soul who is here to experience and learn. I will be patient with your pet, kind but firm, and we will have loads of fun! FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES I can accommodate many schedules, including crate training. I can bring the crate along if we will be gone longer than a half hour visiting the neighboring farm. I can ensure your pet is kept to whatever feeding and potty schedules they are comfortable with, especially with potty training puppies. I have one dog: a whippet mix. I let him in and out as he chooses, and have a couple acres for him to run and play on. I am currently working on the perimeter fence also. Scoop and I often play fetch. I love going for runs and walks and would happily bring your pup along, depending on his or her energy level. I have a healthy understanding of how to keep a healthy leash contact with the dog, and if need be, I am quite strong if I need to keep the dog from running. I like to use incredibly long leashes if the dog is a flight risk but doesn't pull too hard so they have room to explore.

About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, helped with friends and family animals. I have done training with most of my dogs as well. I am a new resident in the area and love animals. I am retired and not working at this time. I am very reliable and will take good care of your pets. I have a large fenced in back yard and 2 small dogs for playmates with your fur babies. I would love to care for them.

“She is such a great sitter I needed her last min on a holiday and she was right there for Daisy! Thank you so much we will use her as our regular sitter!”

“Alyssa was great she came over before hand to get to know my dogs and make them feel comfortable with her and did a wonderful job.”

“Kelley is the absolute best! My husband and I have never left our cats with anyone before so we were hesitant to leave them but we are so thankful that we found someone like Kelley! She was so sweet and comforting and kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of our fur babies? If you want someone who really is going to take care and love your pets, Kelley’s your girl! 10/10 recommend her!”

Gina M.

“It was a pleasure to have Abby watch our pets! She was dependable, meticulous, the pets loved her and she furnished us with updates and photos. I would give her six stars if I could. Highly recommended.”
