Kassy did a great job with my Labrador. My furry friend has a fenced yard and is rarely on a leash. Kassy took the time to get her used to her harness before walking her.

Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!

Jessica was fantastic! She really listened to our concerns beforehand and took everything we said into account. She gave us detailed reviews for each visit and was friendly to both us and our pets. We will absolutely be hiring her for petsitting again!

Katie does a great job communicating with us throughout the process - all the way from booking to after her visit with our dogs have ended. She is very accommodating and helpful, and we truly appreciated being able to trust her with our two furry family members! It helped make our stays away from home much less stressful!

Karla was very attentive to our golden pup in her time of need. She was quick to respond when initially asking for her help last minute and made communication easy throughout the drop in visits. We appreciate her flexibility and timeliness. Thanks Karla!

Was so great squeezing us in last minute, went right over and let the dogs out. They had a blast with her, and she even messaged to get a towel to wipe their paws since it was wet out! Thank you!!!

About: I have taken care of all size and breed of dog. I’ve had pets all my life! I have a passion for animals. I would love to be able to give your pet(s) the love and care they need while you’re away ❤️ I work at a school. I can do before 8am and after 4pm Monday-Friday Weekends I’m free unless blacked out on my calendar. Summer months: my schedule opens up more. I am not afraid of any pet and I am very knowledgeable when it comes to animals but you know your pet best! I’m happy to accommodate any rules you have for your babies.

Sara has taken great care of her own pets her entire life. She is reliable and responsible and a trustworthy individual. I have been fortunate enough to have Sara watch my little buddies when I’m out of town and she gives me excellent peace of mind. I come back to happy and healthy pets, which is a miracle because we have some neuroses over here. Sara is great!
