Our Yorkie Max loves going to spend time with Jen! As we get close to her home, he gets excited and his tail wags nonstop! He runs right up to her door and runs inside to see her two loving dogs-his buddies! We couldn't ask for a more loving environment for our special senior dog Max. Jen is the BEST, and highly recommend her!

Our dog is recovering from a spine injury and Emily did a nice job giving her good care. She didn't hesitate to do everything according to our specifications. We didn't need to worry. Joy was in good hands.

Deanna was a good communicator and took good care of PJ the Cockapoo during his day care visit. We had a meet & greet a couple of weeks beforehand. During his day care she took PJ for a walk and hung out with him most of the day. I plan to use Deanna for future doggy care services. Recommended.

About: I grew up on a farm and ranch, caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. While living in South Carolina, I assisted with service dog and obedience training. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I’ve cared for them throughout my entire adult years. I can’t wait to offer your pup a safe, loving environment while you’re away! Usually home all day Sat and Sunday. Mon - Friday I’m gone from about 9am to 12pm. Home for the rest of the day to keep your pups company, aside from life errands that are few and far between. Drop offs/Pick ups no later than 830pm. As of right now I can have one client at a time, Thank you. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and the front room is set up for your pup to stay in and there is a XXL crate and for smaller pups I have a large play pen and a canopy bed. I do have three dogs that are friendly, however my house is constructed to where I can keep everyone separated and comfortable.

My dog always has fun at KC's. Her goldens are so much fun that he can't help but want to play too! Despite his separation anxiety, he actually started to leave me several times on the 2nd day to go follow them!

Elizabeth was a life savor! I had last minute reached out to see if she could watch my puppy and she was able to accommodate to do so. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girl with her! She’s super friendly and you could tell she has a genuine love for animals. She was sending me pictures throughout the day and I could tell Nova was having a great time. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone! Thank you so much for taking great care of my crazy pup Elizabeth!

Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 10 years, I own an animal rescue, but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss haveing dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes it is just for company, laying on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also have Mr Donovan, 110 pound hound mix that lost his 2 playmates in the last 2 months, so he would love having anotherfriend to hang/ play with.

When you choose me to care for your pet, their safety and happiness are my top priority. A dog has been a member of my family for my entire life consisting of Shih-Tzus, American Bullies, poodles and more! I currently work from home so your pets will never go unsupervised! I can take as many breaks as I need to go on walks. We live 2 minutes from the Levels Road Dog Park so can always take a trip there for more playtime given your approval. I have a friendly six year-old Shih-poo named Kylo, so your furbabies will always have a friend! Both my husband and I work from home, so you can rest knowing your pets are well-supervised.
