1. Tara & Kathryn S.
“Holy Wow! Molly usually is suspicious of new people. Loved Tara immediately. The beginning of the day was doing her usual behavior when someone is gone and got great communication about it. By night Molly was in bed with Tara! When we got home she was snuggled up behind her and didn’t even notice we were home! She has bad separation anxiety and was completely calm and happy. She loved on us and went to sleep! You’ll have to fight us for Tara now lol she’s amazing!!!”

“Renee did an excellent job caring for our little fur babies Bodhi (dog) & Luna (cat). Her response time to my last minute request was so quick - we had a meet-n-greet booked in just moments. And, during her stay in our home she followed all requested guidelines & provided us with photos to put us at ease. She even left us a hand-written thank you note upon our return home. I fully recommend her services!”

About: I’ve grown up with many different kinds of animals from dogs to bunnies to hamsters. I’ve also been around cats my entire life we just never had one in the house because my mom was allergic. I love animals as they have been my entire life growing up! Pet care takes place in my everyday life because I have an 8-year-old dog and just got a puppy recently. I love to take them on walks and play with them outside. I also love teaching them new tricks and making sure they have fresh food and water. I have a very large yard for lots of roaming and play, although it is not fenced in. I live in the country which makes for perfect walks and low traffic.
8. Peter A.
“Pete did a great job with my hyper intelligent dog dahlia. He cared for her for about 6months before my work schedule calmed down and allowed me to be home appropriately. He even taught her to stay out of the kitchen to avoid tripping hazards and any accidents. (she is as much of a foodie as I am)”
