“Absolutely wonderful stay for our pups. It was like a vacation for our two Maltese. They went swimming and plenty of outdoor time which they loved. Anneth communicated and even sent some fun photos. I highly recommend her. Thank you again Anneth.”
“A very great puppy sitter! He sends updates and communicates during your dog’s stay! We have used him twice and both were last minute booking and he accepted! We will always use him as long as he allows us too!”
“This is my second time booking with Caitlin and she’s absolutely amazing. She’s extremely kind, informative, and gives plenty of updates. She’s ever groomed Ace and I can tell he loves spending time with her and Lana. Her previous experience with dogs shows and I’m very appreciate of it. If you’re considering booking with Caitlin I would 1,000% recommend her over and over again. She truly does care for other pets as her own.”
“Kiki can be an ornery cat; known to hide when uncomfortable and likes to hunt… well, Savannah and Dakotah made Kiki so comfortable, she refused to come home! Thank you for the pictures and she loves her Christmas gifts jingling all over the house … highly recommended pet sitter!”
“This is our first time using Jenny for boarding. She answered all our questions and even sent a photo of the space our dogs would play in before we booked. Jenny was quick to reply, shared photos of our dogs during their entire visit, and was very kind to our entire family. Her vet experience is a plus. Our dogs were all happy wags upon pickup and we will definitely book her for future requests.”
“Keirra was amazing. She was quick to respond to my messages and sent me lots of pictures. My dog absolutely loved her and was very sad to leave Keirra. That showed me just how wonderful Keirra treated my dog. I would recommend her any day to anyone and will certainly use her again soon.”
“Truly appreciated and would recommend Ashley as a pet caregiver. She took daily pictures and gave me updates. It was clear she loves animals and takes care of them as if they are hers.”
“Gabrielle rocks!!!!! My 2 babies came home smiling and happy🫶. I got pictures and videos daily and she made sure to keep them on their schedule. They now have Aunty Gabby for the 🥇! Thank you so very much.”
“I found Lori to be very caring. My cat, Kitty, had a bump on her head that was taken care off by a Vet just before I had her boarded. As you may think, Kitty was not very happy about wearing a cone around her neck.. Lori did a fine job with the Kitty. I am sure that Kitty will soon be her own self. I am taking her to see the Vet Wed.. Lori did the best she could and was very concerned for Kitties health. A very safe place to board your cat..”
About: I’ve been around all kinds of pets since I was a child. Dogs are the best and I love spending time with them. I have years of experience dog/house sitting and would love to just hangout with dogs I am currently just in school and work part time here on campus. My hours are very flexible and there are plenty of parks here for your dogs to roam around. Just communicate what you need and I can provide I am open and flexible to whatever you and your dogs need. Communication is very appreciated and we will have a nice and fun time!
“Wonderful sitter She was very polite, Sadie and Sky loved her and came back happy, healthy and worn out. She kept us posted and sent pix all during their stay. Definitely recommend Nyasha for your pet needs. She even brought our pups home!! Thanks.”
About: I have experience caring for puppies and sick dogs. Potty training and nurturing back to health. I am very patient and loving. I am able to discern when there is a problem and when things are considered normal. I am in nursing school and I’m on a break or usually don’t have time for Normal jobs. This allows me to use my time to care for animals and make some money. I have three cats in my home they are brushed every other day, fed twice a day and their litter box is cleaned twice a day as well.
