Eve was amazing! I always stress about leaving my pups but I was completely at peace knowing they were with Eve. She gave great updates and pictures during our 5 days away! She definitely treated them like they were her own, can’t recommend her enough!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kayla! She took amazing care of our three dogs—they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away. Kayla kept us updated constantly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond for Nina’s birthday by giving her a special treat and finding her birthday hat for the occasion 🥹. It meant the world to us! On top of all that, the house was spotless when we got home—like she’d never been there. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat.

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

Our pups love Mallory! She sent us several pictures and updates during our time away. Her love for animals is obvious, as well as her organization and timeliness! We have already rebooked her and will definitely be using her anytime we can when we can’t take our pups with us!

Jessica is professional, sweet, and absolutely loves animals! I enlisted her to house/pup sit for almost a week and she was PHENOMENAL!!! She is trustworthy, takes notes, and will call with any questions. It is the first time I’ve ever felt so safe with being away from my pups. We now consider her part of our family!!

About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
