Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.

We have a ridgeback that is skeptical of most people. She trusts Elizabeth, will eat for her, and will lay with her. That is a huge relief for us when we go out of town. Thank you, Elizabeth!!

Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.

Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!

Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!

About: I have grown up around many different types of animals my whole life, shy, reactive, overly friendly. I am very patient when it comes to animals. My goal whenever I hangout with an animal is to make sure they know they can trust me. I have to take care of my three dogs at my house, with help from my family but during the day Im the one who is usually home. I love to take my dog for a walk or even a run sometimes. I care for my pets and any pets I get to watch like they're my own. I will play with them, or hangout with them for a long time (they're the best company).

Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!

This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!

I don’t have enough good words to say about Jamie! Our animals are our world and I feel like we finally found a sitter who treats them just as amazing as we do. It is such a relief to find someone who takes such good care of your animals while you are gone so you don’t spend the whole time feeling guilty for leaving. At one point, we even said that our dog probably likes her more since she took him on so many walks even in the cold! Jamie was so communicative about how the animals were doing and sent the best photos! She even went the extra mile when I realized I lost something and she found it. She left our home just as clean as when we left so everything was taken care of when we returned so we could just focus on seeing our boys. I can’t recommended her enough and I’m just so glad we found her to have someone we (and our animals!) trust. Just don’t book her so much that we can’t use her 😄

Emily took great care of Creed while my husband & I got so very needed R & R. She kept me updated by sending pics & videos of him throughout the visit. Creed has special needs & takes meds every 4 hours & it is critical that they are on time. Emily made sure he got them on time & even messaged me when she gave them so I would know that he did. That helped my anxiety tremendously & allowed me to enjoy my time away because I knew he was being well taken care of.
