Mercedes is wonderful with Winnie! She keeps me up to date on their visits and makes sure there’s fresh water in the bowl so I don’t have to worry about it when I get home. She also makes sure all Winnie’s toys are picked up after they’re done playing. It’s these little things that make such a difference and I love knowing Winnie is well taken care of when I’m at work. Thanks, again!!

Rachelle was so great! She provided excellent care for our cat and gave me excellent updates. Even when our cat was not the most behaved, Rachelle handled it well and let us know right away. I would definitely use her services again!

Laszlo was great with our 16 year old cat during a five-day trip. The daily notes he sent us helped us know that our baby was in good hands. We happily recommend cat lovers choose Laszlo!

Kayley has stayed in our home to take care of our 2 dogs. She always does a great job and the dogs love her too. She takes care of them the way we ask her to do as in walking and feeding. She has also given medication to one of them as specified by us. She is an awesome dog sitter and takes care of them as her own!

Cierra was very easy to work with. She showed up at the agreed upon specified time and dates and took care of both of my dogs. Both pups were safe and sound when we returned home from our trip. We would absolutely book with her again.

Stephanie was wonderful! She was quick to respond and communicated great. Winnie had a great time with her, she definitely went above and beyond! She also made sure all of Winnie’s toys were put in the toy basket before she left. We will definitely have Stephanie come play again sometime! Thanks for a great visit!

To whom it may concern. I've had the pleasure of having Georgia as a neighbor for many years and she was always a self starter. She frequently asked if there were any small jobs she could assist me with. These tasks include picking up dog waste in my back yard. Other tasks included assisting with mowing my very large lawn with out any complaints. When my wife & I would leave town we didn't hesitate to ask Georgia to watch our home which included taking care of our cat & my 55 gallon fish tank. She also collected the mail and assured our house was checked. Georgia is very reliable and communicates very well when we where gone. I would recommend her very highly for any task she would be expected to perform. Sincerely Bill Martin

Sierra did an excellent job with our dogs. She was available at short notice and was flexible with our schedule. The same day we contacted her she came over to meet our dogs, and then took great care of them while we were gone a couple days later. It was such a load off our minds to know that our dogs were with a loving caregiver instead of cooped up in their kennels all day. So glad we found Sierra and will definitely be using her again!

About: I have taken care of many types of animals from my own two dogs and cat, to exotic animals like otters, reptiles and parrots. I have extensive experience in Positive re-enforcement training method and understand animal behavior. It is this understanding and hands on knowledge that will help me provide the 5 star pet care that every furbaby deserves! My current pack consists of a full blood Husky, a Husky/ Shepard mix, and a Tabby cat. I can handle any breed and any size, I would love to take care of your cat, reptiles, or avian friends too! Call me today and lets talk about your needs, and how I can help. Thank you again for your consideration! I currently work full time in healthcare, but I am trying to branch out with this new venture to be available full time for those with animal care needs. As demand for my service grows, so to will my availability! I currently do not care for pets in my home, I do have fenced in back yard and am in the process of converting my two car garage into a boarding space in the future.

Kelina was awesome! Extremely communicative, patient, and conscious of all of our pups' particular needs. She's an absolute professional with plenty of experience which definitely shone through. The pups seemed to warm up to her very nicely. We're excited for her to come back by again for our next trip out of town.

Autumn has cared for my dogs on multiple occasions. She has came to my home, cared for, and loved on my dogs as if they were her own. I always know they are safe and taken well care of, allowing us to take family vacations, worry free! Her knowledge and love for animals makes her perfect for this type of care. Although to her, this will never be “work” but rather an opportunity to find another fury friend to share her love with.

Megan is the BEST! When we had our German Shepherd Sadie, we asked her to trim her nails and babysit her a few times while my husband and I went out of town, and I swear that dog came back to us happier than ever! She loves dogs and I am so thankful for that. I can vouch that she will take care of any of your doggos needs! :)

About: In my life, pets are more than just pets, they are part of my family. I take great pride in helping take care of others' fur family members as well. I do work full-time, but often have evening availability. If local enough to work, I can drop-in during my lunch break. Weekend availability is much more flexible. I will gladly follow any rules and preferences laid out by owners. Cats and dogs are often used to their own routines and settings, and I don't want to disrupt their normalcy. I like to know what is normal for your pets, as each family and household is different. I will keep the house clean. I leave it the way I found it.

About: I am a fur mom so I know how important dogs and cats are to a family. I have a full knowledge of what kind of care and time they require. I also worked at a dog boarding facility for 2 and half years where I was responsible for walks, feeding, grooming, giving vaccines, and just loving on around 100 cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve had experience with any breed of dog that you could possibly think of. My dogs and cats are my babies so let me share the love and put your mind at ease when you are away. I will always treat them with the upmost care. So please consider me to be able to love and protect your babies when you are working or on vacation.
