“I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Sabrina. I felt very comfortable having her stay in my home and care for my 13 year old German Shepherd. I am very cautious about who stays in my home, but I knew after meeting her and having her do a previous drop in service that I was comfortable choosing her. She took great care of my dog, walked her and gave her medications 3 times a day. She sent me several pupdates too!”

About: I take care of all animals, special needs animals too. I love sending updates and photos of your pets while you’re away. Always happy to help provide care!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I can remember. In high school, I walked some dogs in my neighborhood and checked in on them throughout the evening! I have taken care of my own older dogs and have recently been around a lot of puppies, so I know how to take care of both. I am currently in college and have a lot of time to take care of your pet! I would love to get some extra steps in by taking your pet on a walk. I am also new to the area and would love to get to know the community more! I always take my dog on long walks and the same will be true of any walks I take your pets on! I enjoy time playing with all animals and taking care of them!

I cannot recommend Cora and Debbie enough! They stayed at our house to watch our two dogs for 2 nights. They were extremely attentive and patient with both dogs.

Sam was absolutely amazing with our senior English Bulldog. We adopted her recently and hadn’t left her alone with anyone other than immediate family. Sam quickly settled in with Daisy and made her (and us!) comfortable. Sam sent just the right amount of messages and pictures while we were away. We could not have asked for anyone better to have stayed with our little girl. Thank you so much, Sam!
