“Maegan did a wonderful job! We have a new rescue dog that is afraid of everything and she went above and beyond to work with him! She housesat and everything at the house was left in immaculate condition! She also took care of our 16 year old cat! Everything was great! 😊😊😊”

“Katie is the best! My pups are my life and she was so wonderful with them. I haven’t left them with anyone else besides family since of one of them became blind. She was phenomenal with sending me pics and keeping me updated. I will be using her from now on.”

“Hope did a fabulous job of taking care of my three pups while we were away. I’ve already booked them for my next trip. Our pups were well looked after and loved. Hope is great with dogs, communicative, and reliable. Highly recommend.”

“We met with her beforehand and knew Bella would be in good hands. Clear communication while we were gone. Sent picture updates to let us know how things were going. Would use again.”
About: I love animals as if they were my own children. I promise to treat your furbabies as you would want them to be and as if they were my own. I send lots of photos as well, and will keep you updated on everything they're doing while you're away. I am a full time college student, and I work part time. I only work a couple of days a week, and my classes are never longer than an hour and fifteen minutes. My schedule is extremely flexible. I promise to treat your home and furbabies with the upmost respect. Staying in a clients home is a delicate task, which requires respect and trust. Taking care of animals is something that requires the same dedication that I put into my schoolwork, and is a serious responsibility.
“Isabella was GREAT. She kept me posted on all of my animals with plenty of pictures and anecdotes. She did an awesome job and left the house in great condition. Will definitely use her again!”

“Right off the batt, two words: HIRE DALTON! This young man exceeded every expectation of a pet/house sitter! We have a rescue pointer who can be pretty insecure. Dalton was so sweet, knowledgeable and patient that by day 2 of a week long pet sit, Buddy was completely at ease and happy. Dalton sent us updates every day with photos and details of their day. When we got home, the house was as if we never left, and he actually washed his bedding. Your pets will be in the best of hands and we simply cannot recommend him enough. We will be repeats for sure.”

“Michael did an awesome job taking care of our fur babies! The pups were completely at ease around him and he did everything to make sure they were as happy and comfortable as possible. You can tell he really enjoys being around and caring for animals. He was also very conscientious of our home and kept up with our routines and instructions perfectly.”

“Deanna came to our rescue after our other sitter had a death in the family and could not watch our dogs. She is awesome she did great watching our dogs. She took them out and spent several hours with them a day. We originally booked for overnight but because she lives so close we let her do drop in visits and it worked out just as well. I highly recommend Deanna to watch your pets because she'll treat them like family and did an amazing job! We will be using her again!”

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Alyssa provided for our furry family members while we were out of town for the holiday! She went above and beyond, ensuring our girls were not only well-fed and exercised but also showered with love and attention. Her regular updates, including pictures and messages, gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pup was in the best hands. It was clear Alyssa genuinely cared, treating our home and our dog as if they were her own. Coming back to a happy, relaxed pups confirmed just how exceptional she is. We highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and dedicated pet sitter. We will def be booking again! Thank you, Alyssa, for being amazing!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. Love all kinds. I have house sitted for a week recently with 2 dogs. Young or old, they'll be safe in my care. I have plenty of time. Work is slow and not stable. Hoping adding this to the list would supply an extra source of income but I clean for homeaglow and that's usually a couple hrs a day for maybe 2/3 days a week. I help a friend with his landscape business but everything I do is flexible and I would work around your schedules.. While in their home they would do what they normally are used to and as for mine, I would make them comfortable and safe as possible. Crate them if needed...
“Ginger was amazing with our brood. We have quite the zoo and are always timid to leave the house under someone else’s care, but she did amazing with our dogs, chickens, Guinea pigs and fish. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and caring eye over your pets while you’re away.”

“Elizabeth took such good care of our babies while we were gone. She was very patient with our one dog that is very skittish. We will definitely use her again for any future needs!”

About: Along with owning an array of animals throughout my life, I have volunteered at shelters since high school. Seeing the effects of love and care is truly eye opening. I cannot wait to be apart of the village that loves your animal! I am currently in the process of getting my bachelor’s degree, and spend some of my free time at shelters. I love all things animals, and would love to spend some of my free time helping other’s give their pets the best care. In a clients home, I will respect all wishes for not only their pet, but their space. Playing, walking, and feeding will be done as the client wishes.
“Hailee is so sweet and our dogs LOVED her. Highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. She sent plenty of updates and pictures/videos. We would definitely book her again if we weren’t moving! 5 stars all around ◡̈”
