“Andrea was very caring and attentive to the needs of my (very anxious rescue dog, Jojo, while I was out of town for a conference. She made she was as comfortable as possible and spent extra time/effort making sure she felt that way.”


About: I have been taking care of pets my entire lifetime spent in the military, travelling the world with my pet friends. Dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, one spider, we have had them all. I am retired so I am home all day long to play with and walk with your pets and to care for their every need. Depending on each animal, they are free to have the run of the house. Outside I will keep them leashed unless I am very certain they will not run into the woods and get lost. At your house, I will follow your recommendations for your pets.

“Erica is the one! It was our first time leaving our dogs at home while we travel, because our bulldog is getting old with health issues. She gave us thorough updates with pictures while she was at our house (We did drop ins 2 times a day). Our Westie wasn’t eating, but Erica went out of her way to make sure she was well taken care of. We will definitely use her again 😊”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a wee lad. Even now, I’m the first call when friends and family need someone to watch their precious fur baby. I have a very adaptable schedule due to doing alot of gig work. Other than very late hours on the weekends when I’ve taken on a gig, it won’t be hard to figure out a time that works for us. I have a fenced yard with dog house and a large dog crate on the inside in order to keep your pup safe. Our house is in a gated low traffic community.

“Annabelle was amazing. We had snow and ice and she still managed to get out to check on our boys. We will 100% plan to use her in the future and our boys give all positive reviews of her visits too!”
