“Susan was amazing! She took good care of our boys and provided plenty of play time for our crazy guys. Super communicative and provided daily updates! definitely recommend!”
“Sandra was absolutely amazing, and I will 100% be booking her again. She went above and beyond when house sitting and watching my dog and four cats. She’s kind, communicative, passionate about animals, dependable and punctual. Anyone would be lucky to have her watching their pets! When I got home, not only were my pets *very* apparently happy and safe, but my house was in perfect order. She made my bed exactly as I’d left it (she slept in it, with my consent), tidied up the kitchen, washed the pet bowls, put a million throw pillows back in order on the couch and so on. I had typed up and printed a checklist of instructions for Sandra to refer to overnight, and she actually checked off each thing that she did, *and* made little notes for me in regards to things like giving my dog medication and treats! My dog has severe environmental allergies and needs topical and oral meds each day. I was worried about having someone new handle this + his thunderstorm anxiety, but Sandra didn’t shy away at all and actually managed to calm him down amidst what was obviously an anxiety attack (paw licking and chewing, whining, yawning). She texted me as soon as she noticed he was acting “off” and I told her exactly how to handle it. Ten minutes later, she sent me an update — he was happy again! She also sent me photo updates at least six times over the course of the 18 or so hours she spent at my place, both of my dog and cats cuddling with her and enjoying themselves. She spoke so kindly of them, calling them sweet and beautiful and lovingly thanked me for letting her watch them. All in all, I was nervous about hiring a stranger to stay in my home with my pets, and I am so glad Sandra is the one I went with. Sometimes we have no choice but to get some help and Sandra was there to offer that help when I needed it. I’ll 100% be booking her again in the future!”
“Emmanuel did a phenomenal job taking care of my three dogs while we were away. He gave them extra attention, followed instructions to a T and kept me updated throughout our trip. I truly appreciate him and glad for his prompt response.”
“I cannot recommend Sandy enough! She took such great care of our pet and our house while we were gone. She sent daily pictures and updates on how our dog was doing, which we loved! We will 100% be using her as our permanent pet sitter!”
“Christine accommodated a last minute schedule change where we needed her 2 extra days. She was patient and loving with my very scared boy. He was comfortable and happy in no time thanks to her TLC. She left my home immaculate. I felt so much more at ease knowing she was watching my precious pup. Thank you times a million for making our first time leaving Sport so much easier. Also, the pictures were very much appreciated.”
“Vivi was exceptional from our meet & great to our arrival back home. She appreciates clear instructions and follows them all. She communicated her arrival/departures and any scheduled duties timely and included pics to ease our mind. The home & pets were cared for as if all were her own. Her calm demeanor is what all pets (& parents) crave. We will book Vivi again if her schedule meshes with ours.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received. Rebekah was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a natural affinity for the job. Both my dog and cat loved her, Rebekah made sure they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with Rebekah again. Shes a 10/10”
“We LOVE Heaven! She’s quickly become a special part of our family. Our fur babies enjoy her company and are very happy when she’s around. She’s our number one pick. We needed her last minute and she was right there within minutes to house set for us. We know our fur babies are in the best of care with Heaven. I highly recommend her.”
“Ashleigh did great with my animals while I went away for the weekend. Received picture updates throughout the times she stopped by. She even cleaned the litter boxes and accident spots as needed. I appreciate everything she did!”
About: We have a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of pets of all sizes and ages. We have a safe house and a large fenced backyard that will ensure your pet has a safe place to roam. We promise to love your furr child as much as we love our own. Let your pet enjoy their vacation while you enjoy yours! I’m a SAHM so I am home every day. Our animals are never alone. It’s a lifestyle for us, our pets are our family. Our dogs are used to having multiple daily walks and multiple times in their backyard to play and run around. We do have 4 cats but we have gates up that give them their own private space where they are not near the dogs and our home is big enough they go and hide when they please. The kitties are pretty good at going incognito when the pups are all out so no worries! Our home is clean and inviting where your pup will always have dogs to play with and little kids to love and play with him/her. Our dogs are kept in a crate during the night and when I have to leave the house to ensure they don’t get into anything and that they are safe. We prefer for our pups who come to stay with us to have a crate also to keep them safe too! Minus 1 shiba-inu (nala) who is the boss of all the others she’s the oldest and we trust her to be out. Safety is my #1 priority always. I am a milspouse and I do offer a military discount to any other military families! I provide daily photos/videos and updates to give parents a piece of mind while they’re away. We also do poo pickup in the backyard every day to keep the environment clean and healthy and we treat our yard for flea/ticks. All of our animals are on flea/tick prevention and they’re all UTD on shots/vet visits. Any other questions just ask!!! Here to help!

She was very sweet and patient with me as I was very stressed leaving our younger Aussie doodle behind, she’s never been without our lab and def not without both our lab and us. She kept us updated and was flexible with her time. She even came and spent extra time when we were going to be late knowing I was nervous about her adjusting to being alone.

Ayla Z.
“Ayla is super energetic and full of fun energy. She is a very diligent worker and gives whatever task she is given 100%. She has a very nurturing and gentle personality and from what I’ve seen animals are naturally attracted to her. She has experienced with maintaining pets managing several German shepherds in one household as well as cats.”
Beth H.
“Beth, as she prefers to be called, is an intelligent, loving, and caring woman. I am her mother, but she volunteered for years at Possumwood acres. Where they have attested before to her quality of being a gentle & trust worthy animal caregiver. I will also be available to aide her in getting started with clients. I am employed by TurboTax these days, have my bachelor’s degree in business management, and authorization to work through the federal government. I have too much to lose on a liability. Beth is a gift and can hyper focus on animal care. Growing up on a small farm in Oregon I worked up through 4-h & FFA as the state champion animal handler in the show ring with multispecies animals. Traits I have raised Beth with. I also co-trained a NC state 2nd place canine agility hound. And ran a private rescue for a decade in Oregon. I have trained one of the best service dogs as shown in her photos. Also, I trained several other service dogs for other disabled individuals. Having a unique insight in repetition and reward training. All of my skills I offer to help Beth in her career choice, and benefit her clients. I stand ready to assist Beth in moving forward in her career which includes dog walking and sitting, but I am not just her mom. I am her client. For the last year I have paid her to assist me with my own dog, Sabastian. As my career at times keeps me busy for hours. She does a wonderful job and is self-motivated to provide for the animal.
