“Alicyn was great! My cat was happy, healthy, and enthusiastic when I returned from more than a month away. She sent me pictures and updates and my cat was clearly having a great experience. I came home to full food and water bowls and a thriving cat. All seems to have gone very well and Alicyn achieved everything I wanted her to. Highly recommended - an excellent cat sitter!”

About: Love, caring and fun!!! My favorite thing to do is go on walks in the fresh air with dogs. I have always had a dog with breeds all over the map. My favorite breed is a husky but still love my Yorkshire terriors. 26 years of dog care. It is a pleasure having a dog to always rely on to make your day great. Your dog will feel super comfortable and you will feel safe having a reliable pet sitter. Dogs really are the best companion to have that brings an instant smile always. Count on me to always keep your dog safe. I hope to ease your mind knowing that your dog will have a good time. Can't wait to meet your fur baby. :)

“Coree gave great care to our dogs while we were away. She provided routine updates and pictures at each visit. We look forward to having her care for our dogs in the future when we are away. Our dogs were very comfortable with her, even our dog that has anxiety, which shows how compassionate she is with animals!”

13. Samantha G.
“AWESOME!! She was very knowledgeable about my dogs medication, even more knowledgeable than me it felt like. She is a close friend who really helped me when my dog had Pyometra and needed surgery and medications. She gave me pointers to help my pitbull take the medicine and making her comfortable. She would check up on us and definitely wasn’t afraid of any blood or needles.”

About: Working professionally with dogs for over 11 years. I train, walk, care, and am able to handle dogs of all ages and many temperaments. I can come to your home or they can come to mine. Dogs are my life. I currently volunteer at a shelter where I just relocated to. My schedule is wide open while I rebuild my business locally to offer quality, loving, and affordable pet care so people can have the best in life and not have to worry. I follow all owner direction regarding meals, walks, medication, and socialization. I like to walk every two to four hours for at least 30 min, and play one on one throughout the day.
