Jenna was great! She took good care of our pups, dealt with an unruly, energetic 9 month old Lab mix along with our older Chihuahua mix, and the messes they made. Kept us informed and sent pictures at each visit.

Aubree did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. We felt that we could really count on her. She was there when she said she would be. She played with Holly and set up her toys.

Amber is awesome! Our second time working with Amber. We had previously worked with her back in October and when a trip after Christmas came up, she was the first person we thought of. She's super awesome about checking on the little ones and making sure all was right with them. The kids and I loved the updates with the photos of our little ones. While we always worry leaving our pets home, we felt good knowing they were in great hands with Amber.

About: I have a shetland sheepdog named Bandit he is only 2yrs old and so rambunctious and is eager to always learn but is snippy at times. He is hyper and loves to play, I walk him twice a day an play with him for 2 hours per day and on the weekend I take him to a dog park to play with the other dogs he absolutely loves it. I’m good with special needs dogs if there are any I work with. I also work with horses and my hobbies include horseback riding and drawing. I also like music and I’m trying to get in shape so running with your dog should help me with that. I work full time right now and only have a few days of the week off but I’m a early riser and love to get the day rolling with a early morning walk with my dog. I always ask for vet info, address, name of clinic and a second phone number if I can’t get ahold of you I ask what your dogs quirks could be or if there’s anything that would catch me off guard.

Alexa was great with my elder kitty. Normally she doesn't like new people and hides from anyone who isnt me, but with Alexa she came up to her and even ate a treat right out of her hand. Check ins were all prompt and she took the time to try to play with her each day in addition to making sure she was well fed and had a cleaned box.

About: My entire life I’ve dedicated my time and energy to animals. I come from the farm life of having horses, cows, minis and of course cats and dogs. From growing up and rescuing strays, to always having fur babies of my own, my world revolves around Christ, family and the care of animal's. I wouldn’t have it any other way! I get off work daily by 4:30 and am willing to do evening care as needed! I do weekly church obligations but my reschedule reflects as follows. Sunday- available Monday - unavailable Tuesday - some Wednesday - available Thursday - unavailable Friday - available Saturday - some Sunday - available Caring for each pet will be specific to that pet’s individual needs. I have experience with fenced in yards, walking to go potty, crate training and leashing without fenced-in yard. My dogs are fed twice a day with Purina Pro Plan which includes having a topper and RAW brand frozen food for dinner time. I will follow the preference of the owner in feeding instructions. Beach days and dog park days are a must in the summertimes in my household. Willing to take your out to the beach as I have a yearly pass. I will follow through with the owners desires and make sure each dog is happy and healthy at the end of each session!

About: I've grown up with dogs. I've personally had a cocker spaniel and a bloodhound. I have cared for and watched many other breeds through watching extended family's dogs while they're out of town. Unfortunately, I have experience with end-of-life care as well. My bloodhound had cancer and required special care in her last couple of months. I'm currently only working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! My schedule is flexible, and I have most weekends open. I currently live at home, so I would prefer to care for your dog at your home or on neighborhood walks. For the dogs I currently pet sit, I spend several of my hours lying on the ground, snuggling with them, chatting with them, and giving them treats. I am flexible and will follow the care plan you have set for your fur baby.

Nicole was amazing! She eased any worries we had and also updated us with pictures and videos while we were gone. She was very much in touch with any updates. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need someone to care for our pup and we’re so glad that we booked Nicole in the first place!

Kim, went above and beyond caring for Yogi. She is very experienced with dogs and we are so thankful for her. We were so pleased how she wanted to make sure Yogi was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Thank you Kim for everything we are so lucky to have you.

Heathers been letting maisie out for about a year now and has always been reliable and maisie loves her. When my parents and I went out of town she was more than willing to also watch their dog as well. She is very trustworthy, reliable, goes above and beyond and always treats our doggies well
