“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”
“Our cat spent three weeks under Paul and Terri’s care. We received regular updates on our cat, and it was apparent they treated our kitty as if he was their own. His living conditions and care was superb. When we picked up our cat, he was super relaxed and in great condition. Kudos to Paul and Terri for being so caring and professional boarding animals left in their care.”

“Megan was the best! My dog had just been neutered and she was so careful about keeping him from jumping, and she went out and bought Babybel cheese for him so he’d take his medicine (he hated the pills!). She even sent some cheese home with me and checked in on him. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day when I was gone and I felt so at ease knowing my dog was with her.”
“Gail was absolutely wonderful! Responded quickly with a meet opportunity and welcomed Piper into her home. She gave lots of snuggles and sent updates and pictures. Will book repeat visits!”
“Was amazing all around. I know my dog enjoyed himself and her communication and picture updates were always fast and well needed given my 2 week separation from my fur baby. Will be reaching out again if I ever need a sitter!”
“Lauryn and her family are such sweet people and Finn loved being with him. He got all the attention he needed and he came home calm I could tell he was comfortable with his caretakers. Their home was very clean and dog friendly. Lauryn was very communicative and I was assured through meaningful pics and texts that Finn was just fine and enjoying his stay. I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you so much for making our boarding experience a great success.”

“Rachel was great with Aspen. Her dogs and Aspen became fast friends very quickly. I received so many pictures it was delightful! When I ran out of time to bring Aspen to her, she was out not so far away and picked her up. Then was headed my way anyway, so returned her after I returned. Aspen will be very happy to go back as needed.”

About: What sets me apart is the presence and care I bring to every interaction. With 15+ years of hands-on experience across a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs—I’m not just pet sitting, I’m attuning. I notice the little things: a shift in behavior, a need for extra cuddles, or when it’s time to give space. My calm, loving energy helps animals feel safe and understood. I don’t rush through visits—I show up fully, giving your pet the same patience and warmth I give my own. As a homeschool mom with a flexible schedule and a peaceful home environment, pet sitting fits naturally into my life. I’m home most of the day, which means your pet gets consistent attention, companionship, and care—not just quick check-ins. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and it brings joy and balance to our rhythm at home. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I have the time, space, and heart to give your pet the presence they deserve. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my approach is rooted in calm, attentive, and loving presence. In my home, they’ll enjoy a relaxed, pet-friendly environment with plenty of snuggles, play, and quiet time—whatever makes them feel safe and happy. If I’m coming to you, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, respecting their space and energy. I treat every animal like family and always follow your instructions with care and attention to detail. We have a fenced in yard, and plenty of walkable sidewalks.

“Rachel took care of our elderly dog with such love and affection that my dog didnt want to leave! She kept me informed of my dogs progress with settling into her stay which eased any worries I had. She was very easy to work with.”

Lauren K.
“Lauren is such a pet lover. When she visits my cats love to snuggle up on her, they even sleep with her at night (which is a rare honor from them) and she always respects both their personal boundaries and any rules I’ve set regarding food/treats. She loves animals of all kinds and is always ensuring she does her research if it’s an animal she’s not experienced before. She will love on your pets as if they were her own (and if they could write their own testimonials I’m sure they’d give her 5 stars) and I can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with my pets.”
