About: I have taken care of pets my entire life and just love them, doggies especially! I have been trusted with keeping many of my friends pets over the years and taking care of homes. I am in and out of the house during the day working a couple of different jobs all of which allow me to swing by during the day or keep me here during the day. I am always home at night. I have a fully fenced unescapable yard. I have a doggy door so the pets can go in and out as they please. I have a small shitzu who is old and nearly blind and deaf. She loves other animals and keeps to herself mostly.
“Brewer is well taken care of with Kathryn! She is our go to person when I can’t take him with me on our travels! Thank you so much for the updates and pictures!”
“I was so nervous to leave my Lucy with a new sitter, but Atrisha was sweet and kind. Lucy did really well and I received pictures everyday! Thank you for taking care of my sweet girl, Atrisha!”
“We were very happy with using Ira for our boarding/pet sitting needs. She seemed very skilled with dogs, and genuinely seemed to love them. She communicated with us often and sent pictures and videos. We would definitely recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat”
“Brenda did an amazing job boarding my Tibetan Spaniel in her home. Her home was clean and soothing and I could tell my dog felt instantly comfortable. She had lots of dog toys and her house was set up to make sure dogs can be safe. She had baby gates around the front and back doors so dogs can’t rush out the door into the street. She also had a separate gated off area with a small doggie door through the gate so a small dog like mine could enjoy his food separately from a bigger dog. She had soft blankets on her furniture and my dog loved snoozing on them. She sent regular photo and video updates of him playing and snuggling and enjoying her lovely fenced in courtyard and yard. I could tell he was having the BEST time. I was so glad my dog got to go on a fun vacation too! We will definitely be boarding with Brenda again!”
