“Maurice is a responsible dog owner and would be a great dog caregiver. Maurice is very outgoing and would be a great person to help get your dog exercised and happy!”

“Natalia took such wonderful care of my fur babies and treated them like they were her own. Every day she sent pics and videos of my Frida and Trotsky, showing them having fun and playing - it made my travel so much easier and much less stressful. I was gone out of the country for a week - but felt very safe knowing my guys were in good hands. Highly recommend if you want someone loving, caring, responsible and responsive!”

About: I have three dogs of my own. I have two rat terriers and a weenie dog that’s 5 months old. I always had a love for dogs. I am working part time so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care and keep your fur babies company how ever long you need. My three dogs are small dogs and they get along with other dogs really well. I keep my dogs inside my home and take them to parks and let them run around and I have lots of toys for them to play with.

“Gabrielle was is an AWESOME dog sitter! She was a heaven sent to us, she kept our 2 dogs (Australia Terrier and Miniature Schnauzer) we were going out of town for 2 weeks and couldn't find anyone to watch them. She agreed to care for them while we were out of town, which was such a relief for us. She would send us pictures and video's of our dogs while we were gone this was such a relief to my mind and heart knowing ours dogs were being looked after with tender love and kindness. I would recommend her to watch anyone dogs that truly loves their dogs because she's loving and responsible to our pets.”
