“Bryana is absolutely wonderful. Very flexible, communicates well, treats our cats with such kindness, and she even did a few extra little tasks around the house if we asked. We will book her every time we travel if we can!”



“Kyle and Meagan were fantastic! They took Luna to the park and wore her out for a drop by visit! They sent plenty of photos which I loved! It was nice to know Luna was taken care of while I was at work and before my boyfriend got home. Thank you so much!”


“Excellent! Danielle was flexible with having to do multiple visits in a day and communicated well. My senior doxy can be a jerk and she was both fearless and understanding of his special personality.”

“Lindy was great with my cat! She was so conscientious and came up with great ideas to make my cat (thereby me) happier. She was great about keeping in contact with me each and every day, sending photos of my baby. I knew she was in great hands.”


“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted cat and Michelle took great care of her. She provided us with detailed feedback and took the extra step of cleaning up tracked litter and fur balls to keep our cat's space clean.”


“Connally was a TRUE professional agreeing to help us out with our 2 fearful dogs. Marty (barks & protective) and Mindy (whiny & hides) can take a long time to adapt to new people, but Connally won them over with her calm & consistent visits. Her positive reassurance helped my pups get comfortable with her quickly, and that is worth GOLD in my book. So very grateful to have found a reliable & knowledgeable sitter for my “special” doggies.”


“Having Ashley to give the dogs a potty break during the day has relived me of so much stress. She is easy going and the dogs love her! I love that they are now able to have a chance to potty and stretch their legs on days I have to be in the office and my husband is traveling.”


About: Dogs have been part of my family for as long as I can remember — they’re truly woven into the fabric of my life. After 15 years as a large animal and livestock farmer, I’ve handled every kind of surprise animals can throw at me — so I’m up for unusual circumstances. Your pup will have 10 fully fenced acres to explore, sniff, and zoom to their heart’s content. And they won’t be alone! I have four animal-loving kids who can’t wait to run, play, and snuggle with new furry friends. I work from home, and my kids are homeschooled so we are home most of the time, so we are available for potty breaks and snuggles throughout the day. During the school year we attend a homeschool co-op for much of the day Tuesday and Thursday. We have 10 fully fenced acres for safe, joyful exploring, plus two friendly dogs and four dog-savvy cats to keep your pup company. Crating is available if needed (especially for new potty trainers), but we love welcoming guest dogs right into our daily routine. Your dog can enjoy farm walks, endless ball throwing, and plenty of cozy couch time with us. They’ll feel like part of the family from day one!

“Shelby had her 1st experience with Angel. It was good, very good,she gave us wonderful notes.The pictures she took showed our baby very happy. We've had 2 sitters 1 Robin k and now Shelby. Skip and I loved them both. We consider them both Top Notch!!!”


“Tamara was amazing in a really stressful situation with our pup when he ran outside and hid from her. She was communicative, found a solution, and ensured they were safe and home quickly. We are so thankful knowing she cares for our dogs like they were her own!”


“Erica did a wonderful job taking care of our two fur babies. She followed all directions to the letter and delivered excellent results. My family is really glad to find someone we can trust to watch our little pets. Both our pets are really shy and on Erica's last day of pet sitting she sent us a few photos of our precious Buttercup giving her kisses. We were delighted to see our shy pets warm up to Erica. We highly recommend Erica and plan on using her for our future pet sitting needs.”


“Communication with Danielle was prompt, thorough, and clear. She took good care of our cat and kitten and gave them love and attention. No problems or concerns whatsoever. I will definitely request her services again next time. Highly recommend!”


About: Let me provide you with peace of mind while you're away! I'm a licensed veterinary technician with many years of professional pet care experience. I began pet sitting when I was in high school, got my Bachelor's degree in zoology as well as my dog training certification, worked as a kennel manager for a boarding kennel after graduating college, then went back to school and became a licensed vet tech. Now I'm working part -time, which puts me in an ideal situation to offer some pet sitting services. I also have years of dog training experience, and I train and compete in dog agility in my spare time. As a former kennel manager and as a pet parent, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I know that your pets are members of your family, and they deserve to be treated as such. I will care for your pets as I care for my own fur-babies. I can provide a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home for your dogs where they will get plenty of attention and interaction! My home includes 3 dogs and 2 dog-friendly cats. I have a fully fenced yard for the dogs. If your pet has any medical needs, I can provide them whatever they need. To provide the safest environment for your dog(s) as well as my own, I do request that your dog(s) be up to date on vaccines as well as flea/tick prevention and heartworm prevention before staying with us in our home. I also request that puppies be crate trained. As it has come up in the past, please be aware that I am NOT willing to use an electronic/shock collar on your dog while they are under my care. Please understand that I have a young child at home, and her safety is my top priority. For that reason, I can only board dogs that are child-friendly and gentle. If I believe that your dog(s) staying in our home will in any way cause a safety concern, I will decline the boarding request. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, so please don't hesitate to contact me! *Holiday rates apply.* I'm currently working part -time at a local animal clinic, and I have availability to pet sit Fridays-Mondays. Longer stays can be considered on a case by case basis. I have a fully fenced, large yard at my home. I have friendly dogs who love to play, and I live on a quiet, low-traffic cul de sac if your dog enjoys leash walks.

About: Left my career in veterinary medicine to be a stay at home mom currently. I am available to care for all types of pets and livestock. My experience in the clinic allows me to medicate and take care of special cases safely, leaving you worry free while you are away from your fur baby. From growing up on a farm to fostering for local rescues I am comfortable caring for the tiniest kittens all the way up to 150 pound dogs and even farm animals. In nice weather I am available to take active dogs on local trails for hikes or just assist your senior dog on a quick potty break,whichever suits your need best! With veterinary emergency knowledge under my belt I know what to do if an unexpected situation arises while your away and to get your baby the best care in a time of need. Ultimately I would love to establish a on going relationship with you and your pet so we can bond and know eachother instead of putting them through the unnecessary stress of constantly having to meet new sitters each time. Recently became a stay at home mom, can accommodate your daily routine so your pets don’t have to change their schedules for when you’re out of town. I treat your pet and house as my own to make sure everybody is as comfortable as they can be. I’m comfortable with special cases and behavioral issues.

“Thank you for looking after my 2 cats! I returned to them happy & heathy and they loved their new toy too! Such peace of mind to see the updates and know they’re in good hands, food, water, and litter being taken care of.”

Ben Gathright My mom I will usually walk dogs between 1 to 3 miles per day around the property at least twice a day. My farm chores require a couple of hours daily earring sunrise, otherwise I’m at my laptop around the house, usually in the kitchen, working on architectural projects 4 to 6 hours per day with plenty of time for breaks to play with pups and or tend as needed. I’ve cared for dogs all my life and will follow every quirk that every dog has.

I have experience with all types of dogs and always treat them as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time as a dog trainer so that will give me plenty of time to play with your pups! I’d love to gain regular clients that I can provide reliability for. I always work to ensure they safety of your pet and would love to know what you expect of your dog (whether that’s not jumping/pulling on walk, ect) and with a knowledge in training I can help reinforce the behaviors you like to see! I’m also very good at reading dog body language and love to see your pups feeling comfortable and confident in our adventures.
