Our boys seemed to enjoy staying with Kassie- she loved on them and they loved having other dogs to play with. Our Aussie can be a bit sad/anxious when we leave him- but both our dogs did wonderful. She sent us pics, which was great! I would highly recommend her!! Thanks, Kassie!!

About: I have 2 65 lb pitties. My girl is perfect, but my boy comes with his own needs! I’m used to giving medications for health conditions and anxiety, young dogs and senior dogs, separating pets who may have food aggression, etc. I work Tuesday Wednesday Friday at the hospital so am available on the other days. I do coach volleyball occasionally which can change my availability at times. I do not bring other dogs into my own home due to my anxious boy, but am comfortable with potty breaks, play time, and walks. If they need a friend, my girl dog can tag along as she is well behaved.

I contacted Anj on a bit of short notice and after booking, she made feel that I had made the right decision immediately. She took great care of Tammy and sent me update and pics frequently. I could definitely contact her to care for Tammy again and would highly recommend her to anyone.

About: Got my first puppy when I was 17. Have always had a pet since that day. I cannot imagine life without a fur friend. I’ll treat yours, as mine. I work from home so I’m always available for the needs of your pet. My work breaks often consist of engaging with pets to provide a burst of dopamine for me and them! Have a moderately sized backyard that is completely fenced in. My two bedroom house is not huge, but it is clean and spacious to provide ample room for indoor activities.

Kassie was fabulous! I was nervous about leaving my 10 yr old dog with a stranger, but after meeting Kassie and her family of pets, I knew she was the right one. She was very attentive to my dog’s separation anxiety. Definitely booking with her again and I highly recommend her!
