“Chelsea, is extremely reliable, polite and earnest about her responsibilities! I will most definitely be booking her for future visits! I am so grateful for her being prompt to help and assist me in my time of need. My furbabies are also great full for the time she spent with them!! Thank you for being you!”
“Jessica took great care of my cats. One of my cats needed a special soft food diet due to recent oral surgery and Jessica was very accommodating. She observed the cats carefully to make sure that they are healthy and sent daily updates with pictures which really gave me peace of mind when I was traveling.”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life! I have been trusted by many friends, family, and neighbors to care for and walk their pets! I personally have a Rottweiler, black lab and rough collie and have raised cows and pigs my whole life. I love animals of all sizes! I can be flexible with times and am able to do early mornings and late nights! I currently work 10am-6pm which allows me to be free in the mornings and in the evenings , often when others are not available for pet care. I treat any and all animals as I would my own, with love and respect! Depending on what I am there for I will make sure all animal needs are met. If I am there for a drop in visit, I will make sure they get adequate play time, attention and make sure they have plenty of food/water before leaving.

With extensive knowledge and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, you can trust they’ll be in capable and loving hands.
“Amanda is awesome! We live pretty far off the beaten path and didn’t think we would have much luck finding someone to help us with our chocolate lab puppy, Mosby! We both work long shift work in Baltimore that overlaps and had no idea what to do. We found Amanda who’s been awesome, always so friendly and willing to help out, even with our odd and random requests of times based on shift work. Quick to respond and she treats Mosby like he’s her own dog. We’re so happy to have found her.”
“Danielle did an amazing job with our pets while we were out of town. The dogs loved her so much that now we are just chopped liver! Danielle is communicative, thoughtful, responsible and also she is a veterinary professional. We felt very safe having her care for our pets. Thank you!!”
“I figured I should write an updated review since Isela has watched our cat Huey over 10 times now (twice for a week or more), and I only reviewed after the first visit. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and respectful. She's a big animal lover, and Huey seems to miss her when we come back!”
