Bethany A.
“Bethany A. would provide safe, loving care and excellent customer service because she’s genuinely compassionate, dependable, and attentive to the needs of both pets and people. While watching over my pets I noticed it’s clear she treats every animal as if it were her own—with patience, warmth, and responsibility. What makes Bethany is an awesome human being with natural kindness, her calm presence, and the way she always goes above and beyond to make others feel seen, supported, and cared for are some of the many reasons we love her as our pet sitter.”


Tammy E.
“Tammy was amazing with my two dogs, elderly cat, ferrets, and bearded dragons. From day one she was prompt with getting back with me and even came two times for a visit before we left on our trip to ensure we felt comfortable. I knew my babies were in good hands when they would jump for joy at the sight of her at the door. While we were gone, Tammy had to feed and walk both dogs daily, administer medication to our fourteen year old cat, in addition to playing with both ferrets and taking good care of the bearded dragons. With as many pets as we have at home, I know this was not an easy job; but Tammy did it with ease and was amazing enough to send us daily pictures of our babies while we were away. Tammy is an animal magnet, all of our animals feel so loved in her presence. I would highly recommend Tammy Eblen for any animal/home care position, they will not regret it!”
