Let's create a paw-some experience for both you and pets! Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine as a pet sitter. I ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given bathroom breaks daily. I administer medications and provide grooming as needed. Weekly, I walk dogs, conduct training sessions when requested, and provide overnight or extended care. Communication with pet owners is a priority, and I remain flexible to accommodate special requests or changes. Pet care is not just a job, but a passion and lifestyle dedicated to the well-being and happiness of pets. I provide care for pets both in my own home and in my clients' homes. In my own home, I ensure that pets have a comfortable and safe environment. This includes providing them with their own space, such as a designated area or room, where they can rest and relax. I also make sure they have access to food, water, and toys to keep them entertained. Regular exercise and playtime are important to keep pets happy and healthy, so I make sure to engage them in activities they enjoy. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions and routines to maintain familiarity and minimize stress for the pets. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, administering any necessary medications, and providing them with companionship and attention. I make sure to keep their living spaces clean and tidy, including regularly cleaning litter boxes, cages, or any other designated areas. In both settings, I prioritize the well-being and safety of the pets. This involves monitoring their behavior and health, and promptly addressing any issues or concerns. I also maintain open and regular communication with the pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any special requirements or requests they may have. Overall, my goal is to provide a loving and comfortable environment for pets, whether it is in my own home or in the homes of my clients.

15. Nancye D.
“I have known Nancye for 15-16 just a couple of months after she got her little black Pug named Cinder. Nancye loved her little Pug as much as anyone could, unfortunately Cinder became paralyzed and she still took great care of her for 2 yrs. after that. I have had my share of health problems and Nancye has seen & helped me through them all. I had 3 smaller dogs at the time and not only seeing me through my hospital stays she stayed at my house and took care of my three dogs also. She is one of the most loving people that I have ever known. She loves dogs and dogs love her. No one could find a better person to take care of their dog.”


16. Frankie P.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies!”

18. Laura D.
“Laura was so sweet to my pups! They love when she comes over! She always goes over and beyond when she comes to take my pups out. She is always on time and a very loving pet sitter!”


19. Katherine C.
“Here's a testimonial you can use for Katherine C.: I can't say enough great things about Katherine as a pet sitter and dog walker! She’s been around dogs her entire life, especially Boxers, and she’s incredibly comfortable with all breeds. Whenever my family and I go on trips, she takes care of my Alaskan Klee Kai, Skye, who usually isn’t too fond of people outside our family—but she absolutely adores Katherine! Katherine doesn’t just stick to the basics of feeding and walking; she goes above and beyond, staying to play with Skye and making sure she feels loved and cared for. She’s reliable, always on time, and truly loves animals. Katherine also has a cat of her own and takes excellent care of her mom’s cat when needed. If you’re looking for someone responsible, caring, and passionate about pets, Katherine is the one to trust!”




20. Natasha S.


“Natasha is wonderful! She took care of our elderly dog, Amos, for 5 and a half days, making sure he had everything he needed to feel comfortable. We had complete peace of mind and were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Amos was well cared for. We would definitely book Natasha again!”
