“WOW! Aimee took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She came for multiple daily visits and sent detailed updates with great photos.

I will absolutely be using Aimee for any future travel.”

“Brittany was amazing with my nearly three month old puppy, Ruby! She kept Ruby busy with a walk and playing with all of Ruby’s toys, and by the end of the visit, Ruby was all tired out (which was the goal)! I can’t thank Brittany enough and will certainly be using her again!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats from a young age and have also been a loving dog mom to many boxers! I’ve moved far from home and have been missing my dogs, I am excited to watch and care for any dogs or cats in the area, promising to take good care of them and make sure they feel loved! I currently work full time during the week but I am available evenings during the week and any time on weekends for walks and to play with your pets! During the weekdays I am available after 4pm. I have a long history of walking and caring for dogs. When caring for dogs or cats in your home or when taking them on walks I will be sure to take precautions in order to keep your pets safe and happy.
