“Elle was amazing! She took care of Brisket, my English Bulldog, like it was hers, and sent pictures to let me know how he was. I will definitely hire her again when I need a dog sitter.”
“Phenomenal - so sweet with my girl, Maple. She took great photos, fed her, played fetch and left the tv on for her so she’d have something to listen to while I was gone. Highly recommend.”
“Kelsey was so wonderful with our pets!! She walked into a difficult situation on a rescue mission after a negligent pet sitting service (not Rover). It took a while for Eloise, our French bulldog, to warm up to Kelsey due to the previous bad experience but Kelsey never gave up and she and Eloise became friends quickly. Kelsey was kind, caring, competent and attentive. We will be using Kelsey again for sure!”
“Ashanti stepped in at the last minute to help with my pup, and she was so easy to with despite the fact that this was our first time booking together! She responded quickly, ensured all was taken care of, and provided great feedback on the visit. Definitely recommend and will be booking with again in the future!”
“April went above and beyond to easily adjust to our changing schedule. She was great at communicating with me and sent the cutest pics of our fur babies. I will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!”
About: I love all kinds of dogs and their playfull nature!I normally walk for 30 minutes or more on a regular so if your dog needs a nice walk in definitely built for it! I have access to someone that has experience dog grooming so if your dog needs a good wash I can provide that as well. I'm pretty open to request so if you need something all you have to do is ask and we can work something out. If your dog likes attention I have kids that love dogs that will help wear out any high energy dogs and I don't mind going to some open fields and having the open run around till their hearts content. I would love to create some regular customers but if you only want to try me out I'm more then ok with that!
“Without having a meet and greet, Stephen did an amazing job getting to know my dog and allowing adjustment time. He also kept me apprised of all situations and followed all instructions perfectly. He even squeezed in a visit during his lunch hour to accommodate my dogs needs.”
“NaTia was professional, caring, responsible and a very nice person. She kept us informed during the drop in visits and sent photos of our dogs during each visit even though they refused to look at the camera. She truly whethered the storms to ensure they were okay. Thank for taking such good care of my pups on short notice.”
