“Sonya is so lovely and I will be keeping her as my kitty's babysitter for a long time! I always get daily updates on my baby throughout the day, lots of pictures and videos. As a fur-parent we can always tell when our babies are happy and having a good time and are taken care of, and I always see that when Sonya is babysitting my Jinx 🥰❤️❤️❤️”

“Lauryn is absolutely incredible! She's the sweetest and most cheerful person ever. I adore her and her adorable furry babies because they took such amazing care of my little Loki 🐶 She kept me updated with regular photos, made sure everything was perfect, and showered my baby with so much love! I cannot recommend Lauryn enough if you're in need of someone to look after your precious fur babies. Once again, my Loki had the best time with them, and we are definitely going back for more fun and cuddles! 🥰”

“We had our second booking with Savannah and it went better than the first. Our dog saw her and ran to her she was so excited didn't even look back at us once. When we picked her up she was well cared for and seemed to be in great spirits. She enjoys spending time with other dogs and she's unable to get that in our house. I love how easy Savannah is to book with. She's also very flexible and easy going about the drop off and pick up time.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer. I have a fenced in yard as well as a screened in patio with a doggy door. My dogs enjoys playing in the yard and we love hanging outside with them. My dogs stay inside and are a big part of our family. We take them for walks in the adjoining neighborhood since they have a sidewalk. I live in a small one street neighborhood where all our neighbors are very close and look out of each other.

About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion. I understand the emotional needs of lonely dogs and provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel safe, comforted, and loved. Whether it’s quiet companionship, extra cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, I’m here to support their healing with patience and heart. I’m a full time student during the fall and spring, but have an extremely flexible schedule and will be free all summer. During the fall, I’ll still be free to care for your pups! I have a fenced in backyard, and two friendly and playful dogs. They are loved deeply and are only in a kennel when I’m out of the house.

“Elizabeth and her family provided excellent care for our senior dogs for a last minute trip. Her home is clean and safe. She provided daily pictures and updates. Our pups were clearly very loved for their stay. We would be delighted to use her again.”
