“Laura was great!! Good communication always answered text properly. Very organized and keeps her Commitment’s. She stayed with Penny and took such good care of her. Sent me photos and text up dates. Got packages off the porch and pulled the garbage can in. She’s wonderful!!!”


“Cassie was great! I was afraid my dogs might be a little standoffish because two of them take a while to warm up to people, but by the end of her night here, they all seem to be best buddies! She took great care of them and sent me many great pictures, which I really appreciate. She also sent me updates on how they were doing. She even took them outside and had play time with them. I will definitely recommend her to anyone and will book her again in a heartbeat.”


“Molly was great! She stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane. She kept us updated and sent photos. Our dog is high maintenance and she did a great job caring for her. I recommend Molly and will use her again.”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

“Kylie did a great job with our puppies. They were very happy and worn out when we got home. She sent pictures letting me know they were doing good. She stayed at our home and everything was well taken care of and clean when we returned. I would recommend her and hope to use her services again soon.”

“Taylor was absolutely incredible and gave us the best thing possible while we were out of town: peace of mind. She is a kind, respectful, and easy to talk to! She kept in open communication every step of the way. She did not complain when there was an alarm issue on her last night here and she took care of our home as if it was her own. She was incredible with our sweet pup June and our two skittish bunnies. Taylor provided feedback about our animals during our trip and also sent updates and photos. June requires daily medication and a patient leader and Taylor handled her just as we would! Our house was in the same condition as when we left it and she took care of everything we asked and followed any directions or requests without issue. We really enjoyed meeting her and had utter peace of mind the moment we left. We would recommend Taylor to anyone and we definitely plan on reaching out to her for future trips and travel. June, Jackie, and Jerry loved her!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life. My mom and I foster bottle-fed kittens—even those as young as one day old. Since I was 16, I’ve been house-sitting dogs, and I’ve even helped a dog through two births and assisted in raising the puppies. I have also house sat animals such as ferrets, bunnies, and ducks so if you have any other animals that need checked on just let me know. Spending time with animals and caring for them brings me so much joy. I am currently in school and working part-time. While I am busy my work shifts are only 4 hours and a lot of my school is online. This makes my schedule very flexible. I care for all pets as if they are my own. I enjoy playing with them and often bring them places with me. Though, if you do not want me to take your pet with me I will not.

About: I love every animal big or small. I have taken care of friends and family pets for several years and I absolutely love it! I just want everyone to have a peace of mind knowing their fur babies are being loved and taken care of. I unfortunately will not take care of reptiles (depending what type) or spiders. I work full time and can go to your pets before and after work. If I stay in you're home I will be there in the mornings and at night so your pet will not be alone. Unfortunately I will not be able to travel more then 20 or 25 mins away from my full time job. I care for my pets like I would a child. I make sure they always have plenty of food, water and outside time. Also plenty of beds/bankets around for them to lay in as like. Plenty of treats and cuddle time as well. I will take of any pet like they are my own.

About: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me. I am between jobs right now, and I want to fill that time doing what I love. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not allow dogs. I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.

About: I grew up around animals and spent a lot of time with them. From dogs to cats and even a squirrel. Pet sitting for friends and family when they would go out of town.

About: As a dog and cat owner, I understand the time, attention, and care that pets deserve as members of the family. I’ve completed a puppy training course with my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for him as he’s grown older, including administering medications and managing his evolving needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also looked after other people’s pets, providing everything from daily check-ins to overnight stays. My experience ensures dependable, compassionate care for every pet I meet. As a recent college graduate, I have plenty of time to work around your schedule as I take some time off and continue my job search! I am a very responsible and thorough person that can be trusted to keep both your pets and home safe. I can provide frequent updates to ensure peace of mind!

“Sarah and her 6 year old daughter took wonderful care of my high energy dog, Penny, and two cats, Sully and Oliver at our home! She sent many photos throughout the 4 days which reassured us that our fur babies were content and well cared for. She followed all our instructions for special feeding and medication. She gave Penny plenty of exercise and even sent some super fun videos of them playing chase with Penny, her favorite game. Penny got finicky on a walk so Sarah carried her home quite a distance. (She’s 25 lbs so this wasn’t easy!) She scooped the litter and the yard, brought in our garbage cans and mail, left the house just the way she found it. All our pets were as normal as could be when we got home which is a great sign of a successful pet sitting experience. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!”
