“Katie was great, very attentive and caring for our dog and two cats. She arrived on time and sent us the cutest pictures. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Kat was so great to work with! She was so nice and willing to work with us and our routine. Our dog was extremely comfortable with her (and loved all the scratches and pets).”
“Twice now Danielle has cared for my two cats for long weekends. My cats can be quirky and needy in their own ways and Danielle seamlessly integrated their quirks and personal needs into her care for them. Directions were all followed perfectly and communication was prompt and thorough.”
“You’re the best!! We can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of our puppy. It seems like he has so much fun with you. Love all of the photos you send. Thank you. So grateful we found you.”
“Deb took great care of Fife in her drop-in visits. She summarized each visit and provided pictures of my dog playing and having fun! I would highly recommend Deb to care for your pets!”
“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Lexi was fantastic. I usually worry about my pups while I'm away. This time I was actually able to relax. She was very attentive and my pups love her. She sent pictures, which was very calming to me being away. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Hi Lillian communicated well and showed up on time for our meet and greet and her drop in visit. My dog really liked her and she seemed very comfortable with my dog. She followed all my instructions and I got a nice card and pics, I will definitely plan to use her in the future!”
“Kathleen was very kind and patient with our reactive dog. She was honest with how our dog reacted to her and made sure not to push her so she didn't make her uncomfortable. We would highly recommend Kathleen.”
“Cindy has been a wonderful sitter for our puppy! She’s prompt, communicates well, and is always on time. The few times there was a scheduling conflict, she communicated with plenty of time for us to have a solution.”
About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.
“This was the first time that Bridget took care of our senior citizen kitty, Lilly. Lilly usually runs & hides from people & noise. However…she let Bridget pet her on the very first visit! I was really surprised that Lilly didn’t hide under the bed! I think Bridget is a cat whisperer. Lilly even let Bridget pet her belly! We were so happy that Lilly accepted Bridget instantly. Bridget took great care of our Lilly & our home, followed the directions that were given, turned lights on & off, even brought in unexpected packages, cleaned up around Lilly’s litter, took lots of good photos of Lilly, so we knew exactly what mood she was in (happy), gave us daily detailed updates on how Lilly was doing, etc. Bridget visited Lilly the same time am & pm every day. She was punctual & got back to me when I would text her. It was such a relief & peace of mind that Lilly was getting love from Bridget while we were away. We appreciated everything that Bridget did for our Lilly. Our first time with Bridget was awesome & Lilly gives Bridget her paws of approval with 4 paws up! Lilly has a new friend & we will definitely rebook with Bridget!”
“Daniel was awesome with our dog! He did a drop in to check on our dog. He was on time and took our dog for a nice walk. He logged that our dog went to the bathroom and sent us pictures! He stayed for the whole time that we asked and was very professional. Highly recommend!”
