Jaclyn knows the many moods and temperaments of dogs. Under the extraordinary confusion of a major home renovation project, she was able to settle our rescued pup upon arrival. We appreciated her excellent questions, skill, patience and forthright approach to leading him towards full exercise, calm homecomings and lots of fun in between. Thank you, Jaclyn!

Gabriel took great care of Wylie when I was away for 4-5 days last week. We easily scheduled our meet and greet ahead of time and Gabriel won my anxious guy over very quickly. During my trip, he was great at communicating arrivals, departures, and with sending updates and photos. Most importantly, Wylie was happy, relaxed, and very tired when I got home. In addition, Gabriel took great care of my place. Would definitely trust him to sit for Wylie again in the future!

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, from my grandparents tiny poms to my own boxers, I love getting to know each pups personality. I'm also fairly active and frequently go on nature walks and hikes, so a buddy would be lovely :) During the weekdays I'm usually working until the afternoon, but my schedule is fairly flexible. On weekends I'm usually free for drop in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I'll make sure to stay hyper-vigilant of your pups wants and needs while they're in my care! I'm a very attentive and adaptable person, and I understand some pups take some warming up to. I can promise you my utmost patience and understanding.

I think he enjoyed his experience very much and we felt like he was well cared for during our absence! Thank you so very much!!

About: I have looked after dogs for family and friends most of my life! I am comfortable working with dogs of any age and health status. As a veterinary student I have experience with administering injections, oral and topical medications. No matter if your pup is a high energy working dog or a couch potato, I will make sure they get the high level of care they deserve so you can have the peace of mind you need. I am currently on break from school for the month so I am flexible to meet the needs of your pets. Whether that means multiple visits a day for walks and playtime, or spending quality time for cuddles. I am able to adjust to your pets schedule. I strive to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me first. Building trust with you and them is my priority. You know your animal the best and I will be attentive to your pets needs and boundaries to ensure their safety and mine.

Maya took such great care of my elderly dog while I had to leave the state due to a family emergency, I was very nervous because I have never left my dog with anyone and she’s on a very specific medication schedule. My dog can be a little difficult when taking her medication and going outside but Maya was very patient about the whole thing. Maya exceeded my expectations and kept me updated about everything with my dog.
