“Marissa took wonderful care of my fish! I was away for a month so tank maintenance required a very lengthy set of instructions, but Marissa followed everything perfectly! I appreciate her attention to detail and highly recommend :)”


“Christa is the absolute BEST!!! She is so kind and loving to my fur baby and I never ever worry about anything when she is watching my dog. I cannot say enough nice things about her.”


About: Hi! My name is Alie. I am someone who loves nature so I would love to be able to play outside and take your dog on walks. I’ve had dogs off and on throughout my life since I was a kid so I have lots of experience caring for them. I know some structure is good for dogs so you can trust that I will follow the routine you prefer for your pet. I’m a very caring and trustworthy person and I think dogs can sense that. I worked as a nanny for five+ years but my other passion is taking care of dogs (and other animals). I am mostly available Saturdays and Sundays but if I am needed I can make some weekdays work as well. I would love to provide a safe, fun and loving environment for your dog! If you would like to book with me, use this code and you receive $20 off your first booking. Code:ALEXAL51938 I am taking a break from my full time job to get my small business started which means I have the freedom to be available for you and your pets. Anytime I am with your pet they will be my main priority. I love dogs and cats so taking care of them doesn’t feel like work to me. I also love being out in nature so going on walks with a dog is something that brings me so much joy. I also tend to stay pretty active so playing with your dog is something I would love to do. If you were to ask anyone who knows me well, they would describe me as nurturing. It’s always been in my nature so you can trust that your dog will be taken care of to your specifications.

About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for about 2 years. I’ve done pet sitting on the side for about 5 years. I have also worked with many different types of animals including horses and other livestock I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to schedule in some play time with your pups or chill time with you kitty’s I can crate dogs. I can change cat litter. I am always available through the app or by phone if there are any questions or concerns

“As always, Maria, you did an excellent job! Thank you for calling when the fire alarm was chirping. You always go above and beyond. Our kitties love their time with you 🐈⬛ 💕”


About: I’ve always had animals growing up! I’ve done in-house pet sitting for years. I’ve taken care of dogs as big as mastiffs to puppies. I have also done in home sitting for cats and horses as well! We have two dogs in our home and 1 cat. I am able to do house sitting depending on my husbands schedule. During the fall especially October and November I am usually gone on the weekends for deer hunting. My husband would be home and available for boarding during that time! I am currently working full time during the week 7:30-4. My husband works from home on Wednesdays and Fridays as well and is able to assist with your pets needs! I am available weekdays before and after work. Drop off/Pick up on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays must be after 4:30 as we are both in the office those days. On Wednesday and Friday's my husband Charlie works from home and is available all day for drop off/pick up. I am also available weekends for all your animals needs! I currently have a 6 year old female lab, a 4 month old puppy, 1 cat and a horse. Growing up I have had experience with many types of dog breeds and cats! I also have experience with giving pets oral medications.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and consider myself very much a dog person. I enjoy walking, caring, playing, and snuggling dogs. I have two dogs of my own and they are treated as members of the family. I’ve administered monthly treatments, medication, creams and everything to keep my dogs healthy. I currently work from home and I am always available. I do nightly walks with my own pups. But have a flexible schedule to maintain whatever schedule you currently have set up with your pet. I have a large yard so your dog(s) can run and play. I have two dogs of my own that are friendly and playful. They are also very lazy so plenty of rest and relaxation time.

“Cheryl did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town. She gave an update after each visit, made sure the boys had all their needs taken care of including meds, and hung out with them for a bit too. She clearly cares about her clients and is an excellent communicator. I was able to relax, knowing she was keeping an eye on my cats for me. Highly recommend!”


About: I have had 4 Golden Retrievers & 1 cat in my lifetime. I recently lost my dog to lymphoma and would love to sit yours! I work remotely(in my home) 5 days a week and I am sometimes available on weekends. My schedule is flexible and my daughters are both in college now so I have more free time. Whatever your needs are for your pet, I will do my best to accomodate your wishes. I'm ready to provide lots of love and caring.


“Kayla was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch our kitty while we were out of town. We highly recommend Kayla and will be using her again in the future! ☺️”


“Grace is amazing! Very friendly & upbeat. She is quick in responding to messages & very flexible with scheduling our dog sitting. She is also very patient in getting to know our sometimes difficult rescue, Bingo.”


About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of pets as long as I can remember. I am perfectly fine with taking care of puppies and adults. Hello! I work full time as an MRI Technologist and am able to pet sit part time throughout the week and weekends! I’m free 4 days a week so hopefully I am able to fulfill you and your pets needs in that time. I can relate when it comes to the importance of making sure our pets are happy and safe especially when away from home. Dogs are a humans best friend and I will always treat them as such!

About: I have 15 years experience with big dogs. I have high energy and will guarantee your dog/dogs will have plenty of exercise. You can trust that your animal will be in safe hands whether you need short or long term care. I’m self employed and have a flexible schedule. Therefore I can make trips throughout the day for potty breaks, walks or feedings. I’m available very early and late hours. I only let dogs out on a leash to keep them safe. I do have a one year old lab that will keep your dog company and on their toes.

“I couldn't think of anyone I would rather trust my animals with than Alie. I have seen her interact with many different dogs and they all seem to love and trust her. In my opinion dogs are great judges of character and I have never seen a dog shy away from Alie. I know who I'm calling if I ever need any of my animals cared for and it isn't the Ghostbusters.”

“Emily watched my 2-year-old German Shepherd for me when I was in vacation for 2 weeks. She made sure he was walked, fed and had fresh water throughout my entire time away.

Highly recommend Emily for superior care for any dog!!”
