“Wonderful dog handler and person. Right on time, reliable, goes out in the cold, foggy mornings. My golden retriever loved her coming in the early morning. Highly recommended.”
2. Yasmin A.
“Yasmin took such good care of my dogs Mika and Stella! They boarded 2 weeks and we got cute pics & videos daily of her playing with them! They get SO happy when we pull up to her house. She's caring and my pups got plenty of walks & exercise in her big courtyard. If you want your pet to have a fun staycation of their own, book Yasmin!!!”
3. Esther N.
“To Whom it May Concern, I am writing this letter of recommendation for Esther, who is applying for a position to be a house sitter. While I have only known Esrther in the past year, there have been many times I have asked her to care for my pets in my absence. She has watched both of my dogs for many weekends and each time has taken care to walk, feed, and even bathe them if they got dirty on a walk. Caring for animals is something that has always come naturally for her and she enjoys being around not only her pets, but mine as well. As a pet owner, I am very selective with who takes care of my dogs when I am out of tow for a day or a weekend but I have no issues leaving them in her care. She also has two cats and a rabbit of her own. You can see the care she has for all types of animals, whether they be cats, dogs or rabbits. She truly loves animals and I can see her becoming a valuable pet sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I mostly grew up around German Shepards and miniature Dobermans. I have two dogs of my own named Milo and Bear. I adopted Milo when he was a little less than a year from the pound. I got Bear just 6 months later from someone who couldn’t keep him. I love dogs and want to help take care of your pets! I am a stay at home mom and I also work from home. Working from home gives me flexibility to be able to be there for your pets. In my home or your home your pets safety and well being is my top priority. I will treat your pets with the same love l treat mine with. I believe pictures and videos are important to provide to show you how your pet is doing. I also send updates about your pets like what they’ve been up to and if I have concerns I definitely would let you know. I do live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a front yard I can take your dogs out for fresh air and to use the bathroom.

About: I've been looking after pets since I was 12, from neighbor to family pets. My responsibilities have extended from walking the pets to sleeping next to them so they'll feel at ease. Puppies and cats have been trusted upon me and I can confidently say that I'm a puppy expert. I've worked with many different dogs and I've loved every single one. Anything that your pup or kitty requires will be my top priority. I am currently a stay at home wife, so for pups that need to be under constant watch there is no problem, I'll be available. This also goes for senior dogs who may have to be let outside more often. I'm fully available to the needs of your pets! My way of caring for a pet will always be based off of what you as an owner tells me needs to be done. My goal is to try to keep your pert as comfortable as possible while their mom and dad are gone. I'm a stickler for rules and every pet owner has a certain way of doing things with their pet and I will abide by that routine to keep your pet stress free.
