“Robin was amazing with Charlie! She spent so much time with him and sent us great photos from each visit. I highly recommend Robin and will definitely use her again!”
About: UPDATE: Please fully complete your babies profile and pictures before booking. This saves everyone's time. I will not respond to a blank profile. thanks! I became a dog sitter when I moved into an apartment 15 years ago. The owners dogs loved me and then everyone wanted me! I am now in a home with a huge back fenced in yard. I treat your babies like they're my own. They become part of my pack whilst you're away. I hate to say it, but they won't miss you. They'll be so loved and welcomed. I provide healthy snacks, fun toys, and my time and attention. They will know Auntie Joy 😊 I do grant exceptions but I like a proper meet n greet. I work from home, so your baby is always with me! We go for walks at least 4 times a day. Plenty of exercise!! I also have another doggy Darcy. I treat your babies as if they're mine. Snuggle time! Playtime! I supervise feedings. I have another small dog that gets along great with others

“Caley was awesome! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Meredith did a fabulous job! She was very thorough and diligent. We liked how she sent us videos of our kitties every day. It seemed like she genuinely loved our babies. And our Liam actually started warming up to her! Slugger might get to the point of warming up to her if she had more time with him. We'll definitely employ Meredith for our future pet sitting needs as long as she's available.”

“Hard to put into words how appreciatetive I am of Christy. With her visits, and care, my Mom can concentrate on getting better and coming home from the hospital.
