“Mandi was a wonderful pet sitter for my two cats! She made sure they had everything they needed while I was away and also gave them extra love and pets. She was timely each day and communication with her and her after visit summaries were pristine. Would highly recommend and I would use her service again in the future. Thanks Mandi!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards! We’ve had animals in my own family for as long as i can remember we currently have a dog and chickens and maybe cows soon! I have a personal love for animals! If for some reason my dog Oliver doesn’t get along with your pet I live in a separated part of the house so it will be very easy for me to keep them out of contact. I’m currently working full time but i’m off most saturdays and mondays, and then just whenever else they do not schedule me! I’m very communicative and will work with you as best I can! I care for my own pets with love and care making sure they always have what they need and definitely things they want too lol! In others homes I would show them the same love as my own pets and follow whatever instructions left to a T.

“Ashley did an amazing job with both of my pups!! She sent photo and video updates while I was away, and was very quick to respond when I texted her. Will definitely book again!!!”

“Always checked in with me which made me feel better about my dogs first time alone. She sent me pictures of him even tho she didn’t have to it really meant a lot! She’s sweet to my dog and even walked him!! She messaged back to watch him even tho it was the evening before I was asking for care. I would say she is 10/10 reliable!!”
