Sierra is amazing. Our girls Gracie and Cocoa absolutely loved her when we were on vacation. She is very responsive and isn’t afraid to reach out if there is a scenario or question. She spends time with your dogs instead of just doing the job and leaving. Thank you again Sierra!

Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!

Alex was fantastic with our cats and rats! She’s dependable, honest, and caring. She also writes very detailed visit summaries and takes clear pictures of all the pets so we know they’re doing well. 10/10 would book again

Taylor was a reliable and attentive caretaker for our two cats! From the meet-and-greet to the last day of our twice-a-day check-ins over the Christmas holiday, Taylor always communicated promptly and clearly. She sent us great pictures of the cats and gave one of our cats an inhaler twice a day and oral steroids once a day for his asthma. We were super happy with her care and flexibility over the holiday season and will definitely be booking her again.

She did a very great job taking care of my babies. She actually made another visit in between times so they wasn't inside to long. Highly recommend her. I'd definitely have her do it again if she is available. Great job

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and helped those around me with walking their pets, taking care of their pets, and even grooming! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and I’m currently studying at ISU to become a vet! I’m currently available weekdays (except wednesday) after 1pm! Weekends I’m available at any time! Because of my own pets at home (a cat and seven birds), I’m not available for boarding. I’m very good at following instructions and will make sure every one of your and your pets needs are met! I love taking my family’s dogs on walks around the neighborhood and playing with them.
