“Abigail Jean is always on time and takes great care of our dogs, cat, fish and birds. She kept the house tidy and brought in the mail and packages. We came back to happy pups, which is very important, of course. She is very nice, as well.”
“Carly is an amazing pet sitter. She took care of my two dogs while I was away and one got a bit sick. She cared for them like they were their her own pets and kept me up today on everything going on. A+ 10/10”
“Absolutely phenomenal care for my pups and my home. Emily texted and sent pics daily keeping me up to date on everything with the dogs. Highly recommend her to care for your furry family members!”
“Brent did a fantastic job taking care of our Ivy kitty while we were away for a few days. We came home to a content kitty and clean litter box. We will definitely use him for our next trip.”
“Kayleigh was the absolute best with our 80 lb boxer and 55 lb pit mix. We had never had someone watch both at the same time since we rescued the pit, and it went really well. She even had to deal with our garage pad freezing. 10/10 recommend her for your babies needs. Will definitely look to rebook on our next outing!!”
About: A dog has always been in my house growing up, except when I moved to lawrence to go to school/work. I learned to take care of dogs since I could walk. My first dog was a German Shepard. I learned how to brush, clean, feed, and exercise around 6 years old and have loved dogs ever since. From middle school until now I had a side gig of watching extended family/ friends dogs for the weekends, so I have worked with all types of dogs such as pit bulls, labs, Rottweilers, shorthairs, boxers, huskies, and I also have experience with small dog breeds such as pugs, terrors, mini poodles, and chihuahuas. So don’t worry about what breed of dog you have I am open to all kinds!
About: I love to spend quality time with animals and I will make sure your pet is loved and appreciated! I love to have fun but also make sure your pet is on their best behavior! I have a dog of my own and I love her to death. When i’m home from college I spend lots of time with her and make sure she is treated the best! I have a fenced in yard and a nice neighborhood/lake for walks! My home is puppy proof and ready to go for whatever dog that comes over!
About: I have always had dogs, and as an adult have done a lot of training work with my dogs including good canine citizen training and obedience. I believe dogs have their own desires and likes, and I encourage dogs to explore and enjoy life the way they want, in a safe environment. This means I only control a dog as needed to make them safe, and the rest of the time they can follow their nose and make decisions for themselves. Does the dog want to sniff every plant we pass- ok! Does the dog want to follow this animal track - yeah let’s go! Love digging- let’s head to the beach! I have had boxer dogs as an adult, and they are very expressive and will communicate what they want all the time- you just have to learn their language. I have honed the ability to learn and interpret dog sounds and body language to understand what they want. For my current dog, I started training him on the talking buttons so he can express more of what he wants, which has been amazing! We have a huge property with a swimming pond, so if your pup likes water, this will be heaven! Mine does and when he starts walking towards the pond I know it’s swim time! We have mowed path that is about 1 mile walk around the property as well, so plenty of walks and romps and swimming will be had! We work from home, with yard access and play throughout the rest of day. Our dog needs a lot of running, and having other dogs to play with is great for socialization too. We have a large yard, with a boxer who is great with small and large dogs. We all cuddle on the couch, walk, swim and play in the yard, and sleep in the same room.
“Jessie did a wonderful job watching my house and taking care of my dog. I could tell after being gone 5 days that Cato was in good hands with the routine updates and pictures. Cato was happy to see me when I got home but was also relaxed. I could tell that he and Jessie got along great.”
“Responded to messages quickly and sent pictures daily while watching my dog, who always looked content and happy. I had great piece of mind that he was being well cared for in my absence!”
“Payton was AMAZING! She came ahead of time to meet our babies and she went above and beyond to take care of them. I spent all weekend with no worries. Worth it! Would recommend her to everyone! Thanks again Payton!”
