“Maurice is excellent with my boy! He sends a lot of pictures so I never have to worry about how my boy is doing. He’s very communicative and Bronx loves going to see him. Will use him anytime I’m in the area”
2. Ashley L.
“We left our young puppy with Ashley for the first time and wasn't sure if she was going to want to come home or not. Ashley and her daughter spoiled her rotten and made leaving our baby for the first time a less stressful event.”

4. Haley L.
“Haley took great care of our dog at her house while we went on a vacation for 2 weeks. She was able to help us within a short time notice after someone else cancelled on us last minute. She was very accommodating of the days we needed her. She was responsive, sent updates and pictures. Our dog was happy when we picked him up. We could tell he had a good time and was in good hands.”
5. rachael m.
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.

9. Gabrielle T.
“Gabrielle was wonderful with my dog Beanie. He’s an older dog who’s is very shy sometimes, but Gabrielle was very skilled in accommodating him and making him comfortable and happy. Gabrielle was also always keeping me updated about Beanie through pictures and texts, which I really appreciated while I was away. I will be booking with her from now on anytime I need pet sitting services.”
