“Danielle was simply amazing. We received tons of photos and updates throughout the week. She quickly communicated when she had questions and was quick to implement any suggestions. Our girl is so shy and has some trouble on day one adjusting to new sitters- Danielle was so patient and kind with our girl and she was back to her silly, snuggly and fun self in no time! We hope to rebook in the future!”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Dawn was amazing! She stayed with the pups while we were on vacation and she made sure we knew they were doing well and sent pictures and updates while we were gone. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Jonathan was wonderful, my 16-year-old dog loved him instantly. My dog was not at all out of sorts after a long weekend which means meds were given on time, he had plenty of walks (probably more than normal), and he wasn't left alone for too long. Jonathan communicated appropriately throughout his stay and my home was left very neat and tidy. I'm extremely thankful for his kind care of my old, curmudgeonly dog.”
“Danielle did a great job taking care of our pup. She was on time for meets and clearly communicated her schedule and needs to ensure they met our expectations. She also sent lots of photos and videos of our dog while we were away. Would definitely book her again!”
“Emily was fantastic! Sent plenty of updates and shared concerns so I could help guide which was important to me with my senior dog. Kept the house clean and dogs were super happy when I got home. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Kala did a fantastic job housesitting our three pets simultaneously. Two of our pets had medicine routines that Kala was able to follow without issue and thanks to her strength training background she had no issue carrying our Frenchy down the stairs on a regular basis. She was kind, sweet, full of common sense and responsible. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her help us again in the future. Book with confidence!”
“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”
“David did a wonderful job keeping our very high-maintenance Olde English Bulldogs! He was easy to communicate with, and, he was kind, gentle and attentive to details. He stayed at our home and everything was perfect upon our return!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats off and on for friends and neighbors go a few years. I’ve always had good experiences and never had any major issues with the pets. I can check on pets in the mornings and evenings, almost everyday of the week. The afternoons, I can make work, but it depends on the week. I have two locations, one with a yard and one without, so boarding is not typically the best option for me, unless if you pet is fine with small spaces.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and all other farm animals. I worked at hunt kennels with 60-70 hounds everyday, vet tech, brought along young puppy’s, I’ve done it all, I’m a very active person and enjoy just getting out with dogs. Please feel free to message me if you would want to know more! I work in the evenings, so would love to fill my mornings up more but have a very flexible schedule to meet house sitting needs Whatever is asked of me and how they like to do things is exactly how I’m going too. I want the animal to still feel comfortable in its own home while parents are away.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 14, living with them longer. I also currently live on a farm and have good hands when it comes to working with animals! I’m a college student, home for holidays, and sometimes weekends! I have an open schedule most holidays and can come home over a weekend if needed! A safe, leash-controlled environment ensures pets enjoy outdoor activities responsibly, with supervised play, regular walks, and plenty of attention, prioritizing their comfort, health, and safety.
About: I have been taking care of pets for over many many years now, and love it! I Have my own fur baby, that is my baby and best friend.
