Lauren was amazing! She housed my Aussie for 4 days and was so great with keeping me update from day to day. My pup also has A LOT of energy and Lauren walked/ played with her everyday! Lauren was super responsive and great with my last minute changes. I would definitely recommend having Lauren watch your fur baby!

So very pleased with Lacey’s service! She was easy to contact, and she had a great meet and greet with our dogs. She was prompt, courteous, and so knowledgeable with our beloved dogs. You can tell she has a real passion for pet care! She sent texts with pics and updates on how the dogs were doing at each visit. I would recommend her highly to anyone and we will certainly use her again in the future!!!

Roger has been great with a very nervous pit bull mix. I had tried other dog walkers and sitters that have not worked out. Roger is very caring and treats my dog Whiskey like his own. He is calm and patient with Whiskey. I am so happy to have found someone that can take care of him that I trust. He stayed at my house so I could get away and everything went really well.

Mikayla was fantastic with our husky. She sent us great photos and even took him to a little trail while we were gone. Our husky loved having her and so did we. We will definitely be using her again!

Greta did well beyond my expectations. My dog is very active and attention seeking. It's a lot sometimes but Greta handled my dog "Hyper" with ease in grace. She sent pictures of them playing and regular updates. I returned to my house just as I left it.

Cayton watched our Great Dane at our house for 4 days. I had every confidence that she teated our dog like she were her own. She went above and beyond the time I expected her to be with her- I know she got lots of play time and snuggles. Being the first time, I was reassured with her texting and sending pictures. I will definitely have her watch Daisy again.

Campbell grew up taking care of animals of all types. In the spirit of full transparency - I’m her mom. But you can ask anyone who knows her! Dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies! She loves them all! And she is reliable, responsible, and will always put your pets’ care first. She’s very good with our dog who is a super finicky eater. Very patient and caring. She won’t let you or your fur babies down!

About: I grew up taking care of animals including dogs, I had a black lab growing up till he passed of old age and after we got more dogs. I currently have 3 large dogs I love and adore. When my mom and aunt worked at a dog kennel I would go and help them with the feeding, cleaning, walking and playtime. I worked with all breeds and sizes of dogs and am comfortable with all dogs. My aunt used to train dogs and I learned quite a few things from her when it comes to training dogs and will teach you tips if needed and or wanted. I am currently working full time, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to care for your furr babies day or night! On the weekdays I am available after 4:30pm for walks/ feedings. I care for your pets as if they were mine, they will have lots of love, attention. If your dog makes a mess in your home I will make sure to clean it and leave the house just as you left it.

Alexandra is a very loving individual who cares about all animals she comes in contact with. Growing up we had dogs and she loved them more than anything else. She is very patient and caring and always puts the animals first. I know she will do a great job taking care of any animal she is asked to caregive for.
