I would give Georgia ten stars if I could! She is prompt, punctual, dependable, and clearly loves animals. I have a nervous dog who doesn't like to eat while I'm away, and Georgia hand fed her a bite at a time. I will definitely be reaching out again. THANK YOU again!

I cannot say enough positive things about Hannah! She continues to show her reliability & trustworthiness week in and week out. Our dogs love and trust her very much! With how important they are to us we were very skeptical that we’d be able to find someone who we trusted would lovingly care for them the way they are accustomed to, but we found that with Hannah!

Rachel was fantastic, and our Penny loved her! Rachel was very prompt with all of her communications, and she offered to come by and do a meet and greet before our appointment with her. We also appreciated her willingness to stop by for a second puppy visit after we found out we would be delayed getting home. Great young lady and a great puppy sitter!

Jaclyn dropped in on my cat while I was out of the country for two weeks. This was a huge relief because not only did she take pics and fill out his card, she also kept me informed of a possible illness and engaged with me in multiple texts on his care and well being. 100% will book with Jackie again!!

Michele was great! She dropped in over 4 days to feed, administer medication to and clean up after my 4 cats. My cats were well taken care of and happy. Michele is also very responsive to messages and I was never worried. Would definitely recommend her services.

Alicia did a great job taking care of our cat and gecko while we were away! It was great to know our pets were well taken care of while we were on vacation. We’ll be glad to book with her again in the future!

About: I provide a caring loving environment for all dogs that I watch. I currently own 2 Boston’s and a boxer who I administer medicine too for seizures. I walk them daily and let them out hourly. I will make sure all dogs are healthy and as happy as can be when watching them. I also watch my neighbor or family friends dogs which range from sizes small to large. I don’t have as much experience with giant dogs but I would be more than willing to love them just as much as any other dog I watch! I am available during the day and night as I attended college and have classes in the mornings. I can stay as long as needed to keep them company and playful for when you return home! Contact me with any additional questions!
