“Gabrielle was great! She stayed at our house for a whole week and looked after my 2 Great Danes and chickens. She texted daily updates with pictures. Pups were happy and house was left exactly how we left it. I will definitely use Gabrielle again!!”
“Kailey watched our 2 dogs (while house sitting for us) while we were away for a week getting married. She did a great job taking care of them, sent us updates regularly so we wouldn't stress about them, and was very attentive to their needs.”
About: I have been helping care for our dogs my entire life but I’m really only counting since I was 10. I’m not sure if I would count earlier as helping lol. I would dog sit for family, friends, and coworkers too. I always make sure they are happy and feed. Along with making sure all their energy is out too. I will follow all food instructions that they have. I have given dogs pills before if they require them. I have limited experience with both elderly dogs and puppies, however I am willing to learn what they will need from me. I do work full time but I have an hour lunch where I can run back to let them out. I work from 8-4 so if they don’t need to be let out during the day I will let them out immediately once I get back. I do not do much on the weekends so weekends will be spent with furry friends. I will care for your pet in your home and make it as close as to their routine as possible. I have walked dogs on a leash and have good control. If they do not eat human food they will not be given human food. I always stick to the portions that I am told when feeding them too. If I have a concern about one of the furry friends I will contact you immediately to see what you would like me to do.
“Sara was amazing!! She stayed at my house for a week with my dog and cat. She sent pictures every day and let me know of their adventures. She even got my antisocial cat to snuggle with her - animal whisperer! When I got home, the house was as clean as I left it. I will definitely use Sara again!”
“Marian is very experienced with dogs and provided some basic training and tips for the few hours she watched our dogs! One of our dogs is nervous and has separation anxiety and Marian worked well with him. She was professional and communicated well with us. We would highly recommend her for others.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Heather. She really made us feel at ease with leaving our fur kids in her care. Tucker & Bella immediately took to her. Tucker and Bella and our 4 cats ( yes 4 ) lol , mean they world to me and my husband and we wanted someone who felt like family to care for them. I can 100 percent say that both me and my husband and our crew felt like she was family. Very caring, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We are just so pleased and happy. We would without hesitation recommend Heather to watch your fur kids. She even takes pics and updates us. Great person and we will continue to have Heather watch our “kids”. And they loved her as much as we did. Felt so comfortable and at ease leaving them with her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“Katie was great with our dogs. She left our house as we did. Thank you so much. It made our vacation more relaxing, knowing we didn’t have to worry too much about Fiona & Frazier because they were in good hands.”
