Emily is AMAZING!!! She came over to meet the dogs a few weeks before the stay. She asked me if I had any questions with her and she asked all about what made the dogs most comfortable. She took great care of the dogs and sent many pictures. Highly recommend her!!!

Great person and very reliable, our dogs loved her. She fed them, played, took for walks and cleaned up after. We were getting pictures and messages while we were away, it was such relief knowing that the puppies are safe and looked after. Will definitely using her services in the future. Thank you

We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!

I met Joseph yesterday for the 1st time. My dog just clicked with him immediately. Yes he loves everyone but Joseph was very playful with him. He sent me updates which I was happy about. He was also on time. I'm thankful for that. I'll off course rebook when needed. 🙏

About: I actually have a lot of experience taking care of pets. When I was a child, I had three parrots and two dogs. I often spent time with my grandmother, who had three dogs, four cats, more than 30 rabbits and an aquarium with fish. When I was 15, I started taking care of the pets of friends who went on vacation. Now I am looking for new clients to take care of their pets, so that I can become their new friend. I am currently looking for a job so I have a lot of free time and the opportunity to take care of your pets. I can take care of your dog both on weekdays and on weekends or holidays. My home is not pet friendly so I will be happy to spend time with your pets in your home. I understand the importance of the safety of your pet and other people, so I prefer walks on a leash and with a muzzle if necessary. After the walk, I consider it necessary to wash your pet's paws to keep your home clean.

About: With 3 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide top notch services for your beloved animals. From daily walks and playtime to overnight stays and medication administration, I ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. Trust me to keep your furry friends happy, healthy, and safe while you're away! Currently, out of work for the summer. During the summer I spend most times outdoors, walking, and hanging with friends and my own fur baby. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I ensure they have access to food, water, and a cozy resting area. I stick to their feeding schedule and take them out for walks or playtime regularly. I also make sure to give them lots of love and attention to keep them happy and healthy while they're in my care. If you have any specific questions about pet care at home, feel free to ask!

Victoria was able to jump in last minute to help us house sit and watch our puppy who went into her first (and only) heat cycle right before our trip. She was really communicative and shared lots of pictures and videos as Peaches got to know her. I felt really comfortable having Victoria stay and will certainly have her watch Peaches again!

Kayla is a very responsible caring individual who is committed to the families and dogs she cares for. She took excellent care of my Russell Terrier when we were gone including walking feeding and giving him his medicine. She even fed my gold and tropical fish. I had complete peace of mind while we were away. I strongly recommend Kayla!
