“Cranesha did very well with following specific instructions. I could tell my dog felt at ease with her. We rested well knowing our dog was well cared for. I hope to use her in the future. Thank you. 😊”
“Great comunication. JJ loved the time he got to spend with Elizebeth. I would highly recommend.”
About: Animal care has always been a part of my life, I volunteered at my local humane society for 10 years fostering and doing admin work, even vetting potential new adoptive pet parents. In my home I have my chow/golden mix dog, Baylee, and my indoor farm cat, Iris. They are wildly spoiled. I joined rover because when I really needed it for a trip there was no one in my area and I think I can do better for us pet owners in this area. I am based in Port St. Joe, but please inquire for rates in more distant locations. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and can handle medication/ I have a fully fenced back yard and the ability to keep boarded dogs in a separate bedroom from my own pets. For boarding I only offer the service on an emergency and last minute basis Friday evening -Sunday evening. For walks and stop-in- I have experience with all pets including fish, birds, reptiles, and smaller pets such as hedgehogs and sugar gliders. I know handling for these pets and can follow your specific instructions so your pets receive the care you want.
“Arrived on time and Clyde and Abigail seemed to get along well. Look forward to our next visit.”
“Catie was so professional and really nice. She did a great job keeping our kitty company and even sent a text to let me know she was at the house on Saturday. She sent cute pics too which made me feel good that our kitty warmed up to her. Our dog met her when she came by to meet our cat and she liked her too - even though we took the dog with us, but I think it says a lot when both animals like the person right off the bat! We'll definitely use her next time we need someone.”

“Josh has worked in the past at a large animal shelter in MN. His knowledge of providing great animal care is top notch. Josh tended to the sick and homeless and also provided foster care in his own home. He is proficient in caring for animals with special needs and will provide TLC to your furry family member. He is very comfortable giving medication and will follow your specific requests and directions. Josh will provide excellent care so you do not need to worry if you pet is getting the love and attention while you are away. I have personally left my animals in the care of Josh and he did amazing meeting their needs. 5 star recommendation.”
