“Santana was absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Maple. She was kind, attentive, dependable, and treated Maple as if she were her own. I could tell Maple felt completely comfortable and happy with her, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Santana kept me updated, and I never had to worry about a thing. It’s such a great feeling to find someone you can completely trust with your dog. I would recommend Santana without hesitation, and she will definitely be my first choice anytime I need someone to care for Maple again!”

“Annalise was wonderful! She watched out two dogs and cat for us for the weekend and everything went perfect. She is very friendly and did a great job of sending photos and updating us while we were away. She was very respectful to our home and the dogs seemed very relaxed and happy when we got home. I e had a bad experience with someone watching our dogs for us when we are away so I was very nervous especially with one of our dogs being very anxious and having separation anxiety. She listened to our concerns and we couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Thank you!! We will definitely rebook :)”

“Michelle did an amazing job pet sitting/housesitting while we were gone for about 16 days. She would check in with us and send us pictures and videos and made us feel very reassured while we were gone. Even handled the chaos well when things went wrong with our water pump. Very kind and dependable and I would definitely recommend her!”

I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer! I don’t have an outside job, so the only thing taking me away from your furry family is school! I’m always open and i can always get to your fur baby’s when needed! I have 1 doggy of my own and she has fear aggression towards other people and dogs, i’ve learned to work around her personality and to go forward. I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!

About: I am a well experienced vet nurse now in undergrad with high hopes for med school! I've been a dog trainer all the way up to ICU nurse. I can handle most any situation so you can leave your home and your babies comfortably with me! I'm going to school online on a self paced basis so pet care is a perfect fit for me and my schedule. My 86 year old neighbor loves my 1 year old miniature poodle Boseman and loves her little farm so long stays away are okay with the both of us. My poodle Boseman has free range of my place but is also fully kennel trained if need be (used when I worked long hospital hours). He gets walks around our pond or goes next door with my neighbor's 50+ chickens, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. He gets fed twice a day and plenty of treats (super high metabolism lol).

All pets are loved and cared for like they’re my own. I do offer pick up and drop off services I never leave pets unattended outside since I know dogs can jump and find their way out of fences. All dogs will wear a collar and leash at all times on walks. Making sure dog stays cool and doesn’t over heat. All pets will be kenneled when left unattended for safety purposes.

“After I had to leave for a family emergency, Michelle was able to watch my dogs within hours, and did such a great job despite my lack of in depth instruction. My boys looked happy in every picture and knowing they were well taken care of gave me the peace of mind that allowed me to be present in my situation. I cannot thank her enough”

“We had a great experience with Shiloh! Our dog is very anxious, especially when we’re leaving, but he seemed surprisingly at ease and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind for our evening out. Shiloh kept us updated and sent pictures while we were gone, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to relax and enjoy our evening knowing he was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Shiloh and will definitely book with her again!”

I do live in an apartment but I take MANY trips outside to the walking track and dog park. I spent most of my time outside making sure my own puppy gets plenty of her energy out.
