About: I’ve taken care of my family pats ever since I was young, always had dogs and cats, I love all of my pets and spending time with them, can’t wait to meet yours and all of their quirks!! I’m only busy one day a week right now, which is Sunday's. Obviously there are days that I’m busy with friends or family or babysitting, something along those lines :) I can’t bring any pets to my home, my pets are shy lol, but of course any special feeding requirements or any special requirements in general, I love to play, keeps me entertained to :)

Alexandra did an amazing job with drop in visits with our cat, Francine. She handled all elements of Francine's care as discussed, was very communicative and sent pictures from each visit. Francine warned right up to her and we couldn't ask for more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Molly was absolutely phenomenal!!! Can't say enough positive things! She is kind, sweet, nice, and handled our unsocialized dogs with ease and expertise. Every visit she went above and beyond what we expected. Our German Shepherd that doesn't like anyone warmed up to her in only a few visits. Now they are best friends. Leaving our loved ones home has always been a stressful experience. Not anymore! We are so happy and fortunate to have found Molly, and can't wait to utilize her exemplary services again!

I am eternally greatful for Liz!! She came to my home and met with me pups, agreed to come and do a couple of drop ins for me during a busy weekend. Not only was her communication prompt, her care and compassion was just what my pups needed. I have a nervous dog and Liz had no issues and knew how to handle her with ease. Will definitely hire again in the future 🧡

Carly is FABULOUS! She always leaves a detailed summary of her visits- which is huge with my senior dog and keeping track of bowel habits and tinkles. Carly walks with my girl in the yard and takes time for lots of pets. Carly pays attention to and adjusts for my dogs significant loss of hearing to avoid startling. If I could give her 10 stars I would.

About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. From giant breeds to small dogs, I love them all. I am familiar and can easily handle the strength and slobber of a big dog, while also maintaining the delicate and agile spirit of a little pup. My dog, Josie, has bad skin allergies and terrible anxiety. She hates to see me leave, some times not even getting a drink or eating until I am back. I know it can be so hard to leave a pet, especially when you know they miss you so much, but I hope I can be the easement for both your baby and you that they will be safe and okay! I would love to make your fur baby feel comfortable and safe with me and take care of them just the way they need. I am totally willing to give any medications or things needed to keep your baby healthy, please let me know any way I can help make your life and your pets life easier! :) If you are looking for any specific care, let me know and I’ll see if I can help. I do not work Mondays and typically have free time Tuesday as well. I could work something out permanently with you or just help out when needed. I am also a waitress, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work around your needs. :) I will ensure to keep your pet comfortable and relaxed. My dog personally has dealt with anxiety her whole life, especially separation anxiety, so I know it can be difficult to leave a pet with a new person. I can and will follow any instructions as that you give me or leave out for me to follow. I want to make the process as easy as I can for you. I can send updates all throughout the day with pictures, messages, or even a call. I want to ensure both you and your baby are comfortable and feel at ease when I come to help! Whether your baby just needs someone to let them out and play or a long tiring walk, I am here to help! :)

I also am available for walks during the day or just stopping by to play and let them out!! I am staying with family who have two dogs that aren’t fully dog friendly so my services would only be available at your house only!

Shannon was awesome! Took the time for an initial meet & greet a few days before and communicated each day how it went with Dexter. We will certainly have her take care of Dexter again.
