About: Ever since I was born, I have been around dogs. Until I moved out from home, I had lived with my parents, and they have 2 dogs, a pit bull and a papillon. They are both the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. Our pit bull is one of the most cuddly, loving dogs there is. There hasn't been one day in my life where i haven't been around dogs. I absolutely adore them and can't resist them when they want to play. I can assure you I will take your pets into great care. “A dog is the only thing in this world that will love you more than he loves himself”. I will be home with your pups full time to give them to most love and care they deserve! Your pups will enjoy lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a backyard for playtime, however it is not fenced. But we can walk to the track and enjoy the sun. If I needed to leave for any reason I do have a little nanny cam to keep an eye on your pup!

“Lydia has been walking my ''Puppy" an 75# Golden Retriever, who pulls and jumps and can be Teethy and she handles him great! My dog probably likes her better than me, lol. I trust her with keys to my place and never a worry. She always arrives and gives lots of notice when she can't which is hardly ever. You can't go wrong hiring her to be your best friends, new best friend.”

I have two loving pups of my own, a black lab and a 40lb rescue mixed breed. I can let them socialize or keep them separated up to your standards.

I’m currently raising my energetic puppy and my sweet, independent 2-year-old cat, and every day with them reminds me how much joy, patience, and love animals bring into our lives. With a young pup, I’ve learned all about the importance of routine, playtime, and positive reinforcement.

Kaitlin G.Star Sitter
“The thing that makes Kaitlin a great candidate for working with animals is her dedication to reading up and learning everything she can to do a task well. From exotic reptiles, furry legged tarantulas, hyper pups to kitties with an attitude nothing phases her. Kaitlin also follows directions well and has an honorable work ethic. I'd expect a spreadsheet of each pet Kaitlin works with will be created to ensure every detail is documented ensuring that a routine is followed every time. Kaitlin truly loves all creatures and will treat your critter with all the love and care your precious pet deserves.”

Christina A.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Christina take care of my two dogs, Moose and Ollie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, Christina's genuine love for animals was evident. She immediately connected with both Moose and Ollie, making them feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the entire time I was away, Christina provided regular updates with photos and detailed messages, reassuring me that my dogs were in the best hands. Her attention to detail and dedication to their well-being were truly outstanding. Moose, who can be a bit anxious, seemed completely at ease under her care, and Ollie, with his boundless energy, had plenty of playtime and exercise. Christina went above and beyond to ensure my home was kept tidy and my dogs were happy and healthy. Her professionalism, kindness, and expertise were exceptional. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of Moose and Ollie!”
