“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”


About: I am a stay at home mom who is home most of the day to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I have been caring for animals my entire life. I have cared for cats and a wide range of dog breeds from a dachund up to a black lab and golden retriever with diverse needs. I have had animals with seperation anxiety, eye ointments, and daily medications and my background as a registered nurse allows for comfort with injectable medications and other specialty treatments. I am a stay at home mom to two kids and with the exception of a quick trip to the grocery store or my kids hockey practice we are typically home all day. I can easily accommodate any needs that your pet may have and they won't be left alone for extended periods of time. I have a fully fenced in backyard that the dogs have free range to run and play. I have two dogs. Teddy, our black lab is more of a senior dog who enjoys laying in the sun where as Winnie, our yellow mix enjoys running and playing with any new friend she can find. I have the ability to section off different areas of our home to give pets the feeling of space safety that they may need. I live on a quiet street next to a park that is perfect for taking walks.

“I was very happy with the care Alex provided to my Italian Greyhound, Zoey. She took a picture of Zoey and sent to me and then followed up afterwards. Alex is very friendly and easy to work with. I will definitely use her in the future and highly recommend her.”


“Best dog sitter ever! I work long days and Bri makes sure my dog Rhett is happy and healthy! It’s a weight off my shoulders knowing that he has someone awesome coming to take care of him while I'm at work. The pictures she uploads of them playing together make my day! I highly recommend her to all!!”


“Guinness was a very happy boy with his first walk with Alanys!!!!! I felt safe and comfortable with Alanys (and you can tell Guinness was immediately comfortable) walking our boy and will book again!! Highly recommend her!!!!”


“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”
