About: Pets are like children and if your understand then you know. No one likes a boring nor extra, just right is all you need! We can play all day or we watch movies all day, it’s really what he/she wants not you! I’m here whenever you need me unless something changes. But it’s summer everyone wants to have fun! I’m here all week as long as you need me! I am a very alert person, I’m whatever your pet needs. I like to look at it as a human, whatever you wouldn’t do to a human child you shouldn’t do to a fur baby!
“Keith was friendly, very communicative and our dogs loved staying with him! He is also an experienced dog trainer and made sure our dog took his medicine during their stay. We will be boarding with him again next time we go out of town and recommending him to friends. Thank you for taking such good care of Scully and Fisher!”
“Alayja was an amazing sitter. Even with our dog being nervous for his first visit she made sure he was comfortable and took care of him as if her own. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and even gave him a bath before returning.”
“Anna was fantastic! Ollie had an amazing time (as was evident by his expression in the photos she sent). If I lived in the area I would absolutely have Anna watch Ollie again. Thank you!”
“Johanna and her family took excellent care of my dog, Beanie! She provided updates throughout my trip so I could see how well Beanie was doing. I felt almost guilty when I picked Beanie up, because it was so obvious that she’d developed a real bond with Johanna and her dogs. I highly recommend Johanna as a sitter. She is caring and communicative, and your furry family member will have a wonderful time!”
