Grace is the best! She is very comfortable with our lab, and seemed very confident with her care. Our kitties also really enjoyed having Grace around. Grace is great at sending sweet update photos and messages, and we are looking forward to being able to book her for future pet care!

Joy watched my dog in my home for two weeks and did an amazing job. She sent daily updates and pictures that really put me at ease. She took excellent care of my dog and couldn't be nicer. I would recommend her to others and would hire her again.

About: I have always had dogs my whole life growing up. Recently our two dogs have gone through a board and train program and I have learned alot from that! I’m currently working a full time job. I am available in the afternoons usually and could do pop in visit during the day depending on the time. I am usually available after 5pm for sure but can work out times during the day that would work! I have a fenced in yard on my property. I can take your dog for a walk ; let them out for potty breaks however you usually do. I can Crate your dog as I have experience with that as well.

About: I’ve cared for multiple pets since I was younger and have grown to love animals. I’ve cared for dogs anywhere from puppies to older dogs. Also kittens to older cats that need daily meds(dogs that need meds as well), so I have a lot of experience with pet sitting. Also can watch any other animals just show me what needs done, I most likely can do it! I will try to always go above and beyond for your pets! I do pet sitting full time so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! Just message me to figure out days and times! I do get booked quick for overnight stays so try to book me quickly:) I unfortunately can not do care for any pets at my house but when coming to your house I will do anything asked to help with your fur baby and make sure they get all the loving I can give!

About: I love animals and I enjoy being around them. I have a one year old German shepherd mix who loves other animals and playing so it would be a great opportunity for the both of us. I enjoy being outdoors with my dog and I’d be sure to do the same with yours. I have a very nice neighborhoood where I can take your dogs on walks and give them the exercise they need(: if you have any questions I’m free to answer any you have. I live with one other person who would be able to help so somebody will always be available to love and care for your pets! We do great team work and we are ready to have fun I have one small child , 6 years old who is home Sunday - Thursday! I have plenty of time to enjoy time with your pets. Depending on the times I have your animals I like to start off with feeding and excercise early in the morning with evening walks and play sessions also being part of the daily schedule. I have a fenced in back yard and one fur baby to keep hours company. I am open to spending all the time in the world with your animals.🫶🏽

Maddie was amazing!! She was so friendly, flexible, and loving toward my dog, Finley. I’m usually very anxious about leaving Finley with someone new, but Maddie completely reassured me - she checked in often and sent photos as requested without any hesitation.😊 I could tell Finley was in great hands and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you, Maddie! 🐾
