Elizabeth was great! Our furkids loved her and she loved them! She gave them plenty of attention and followed all of the instructions left for her and sent a ton of great pictures which made us feel very comfortable having left them in her care! I hesitate to give such a good review because I don’t want everyone to book her up and make her too busy for us - but she was great!

Jade is so amazing, I cannot reccomend her more highly. I book her every time I go out of town. She takes the time to get to know each cat's quirks and loves them on their terms. The peace of mind she gives is priceless.

About: Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own. I am a teacher during the day. I'm usually home by 3. I'm home every afternoon and every night and every weekend. I do have flexibility in my work schedule should they need arise. I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

Priscilla was amazing. I can't say enough about how well she took care of our three kitty boys. She showed up on time every day, gave us daily reports on how they were doing. Priscilla is awesome. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their furry loved ones to be well cared for! Thank you so much, Priscilla!

About: I have owned my own animals my whole life. I currently have a Doberman who has Addison’s disease and requires daily medication and weekly injections. I worked at a rescue for 3 years when I was in college so I know a lot about dog behavior and care. My husband and I own a small masonry business. I currently assist him on the jobsite when needed but mostly take care of the administrative duties so my schedule is very customizable to your pet care needs I am comfortable working with pets of all ages and in a variety of environments. Wether you prefer drop in visits in your home or long walks with your dog I can accommodate many different options.

Elizabeth did an amazing job at the very last minute when I asked her to watch our newly adopted seven month old lab mixed puppy, Rocky. She even had to make a couple of late night visits, to make sure Rocky was going to be able to make it through the night. And then turned around early in the morning to let them out and let him stretch his legs. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am that Elizabeth allowed me to relax while we fulfilled commitment we had made prior to adopting a puppy! We will definitely be asking her, and her sweet son, to visit Rocky and give him some more loving.

I was very nervous leaving my 17 year old cat and my guinea pig for 5 days, but I should not have been. Danielle was wonderful with them! She came for twice daily visits, loved on them and gave them great care! I would definitely recommend her to care for your furs!

About: I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a puppy and two orange cats with varying needs, including medical care and anxiety management. I’m comfortable with medications, special routines, and recognizing individual pet personalities. My experience with an anxious cat taught me to be patient and observant while creating calm, structured environments. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated throughout their time away. I work remotely Monday-Friday on a flexible but structured schedule (7am-4pm or 10am-6pm), which allows me to reliably fit pet care into my work day. Remote work means I can provide local visits and midday check-ins, and I’m particularly well-suited for pets with medical needs or anxiety that benefit from frequent attention and stability. I’m detail-oriented, punctual, and follow your instructions precisely. I am especially attuned to anxious pets or those with medical needs. I watch for common behavioral and health changes, communicate regularly with updates, and treat every pet like family.

Nick has bonded really well with my little meatball pitbull. We're very appreciative of the great care he provides for our girl but even the little things he does that are above and beyond such as bringing up the trash barrel and bringing in the Amazon packages! Thank you Nick for all you do!
