“Taryn was great! We have two senior cats and she followed our instructions perfectly. It's such a relief when you can find a solid Sitter to care for your fur baby! Taryn, thanks for helping out on last minute notice and making the commute to St. John!”

“Kayla has been great! She went above and beyond cleaning up after our puppy. The dogs are super excited to hang out with her. It’s given us such peace of mind knowing our pups are well taken care of during the day. Will definitely book with her again.”

About: I'm very patient and experienced with fur babies of all sizes and kinds. I can handle watching dogs twice my size. I'm understanding that every fur baby is different and you have to treat them accordingly so they can become comfortable around you. I understand it can be difficult trusting people to care for them and will ensure they are safe and receive best care and time with me. I will treat your fur baby as I would want someone to treat mine. l work from home and do online schooling due to this my schedule is flexible. I’m available to watch your fur baby for entire duration if needed. I take them out for a walk as often as needed . If they take medicine I don’t mind administering it to your fur baby. I will stimulate their mind with different thinking games and treats. They will learn different commands if they don't know them already. I even take them to vet visit if needed throughout the duration of time I’m watching them.

“I had the opportunity to have both my pets to be cared for by Perniall. During his care both my pets(cat&puppy) were well fed and cared for. He was able to give the attention needed to my pup with attachment issues and maintain his regular routine that I’ve implemented at home. Pernaill always kept me updated and if anything happened he would contact me immediately, for example when my cat did not want to eat at first due to a change in environment since she has never left my home until then. He was able to get her to adapt and tended to her needs the best he could since my cat is a feisty one. Whenever I need someone to take care of my pets I’ll know that I can always count on Perniall!”

“Elizabeth has loved animals as long as I have known her. The care and love that she gives my pets when she watches them is how I treat them, and that is very hard to find. I would trust all of my "babies" anytime with them in her care. We have had her watch our dogs many times and never had an ounce of worry. She treats them like her own.”

“Melina R. is the most loving and caring dog loving human being on the planet. I have a senior, diabetic (requires shots twice a day) blind (both eyes removed) Mini Schnauzer and she has helped me care for my Lily since she had her surgery this past summer. She has has been my sole dog sitter for the past 3 months but has been caring and loving our fur family for the past 11 years! I couldn’t be more happier with her care, love and support and would trust her wholeheartedly with any animal.”

“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”

“Lupe has watched my pets over the past couple of years. I can always count on her to take care of my pets well in my home. My cats could be a bit shy with strangers but they were able to warm up to Lupe fast. They feel at home when she takes care of them, which is a relief when I am away. In addition, she keeps me updated daily with pictures and any important info every time. I highly recommend her ❤️”

About: I know how hard it is to leave animals alone for hours, which is why I stay at home with my 7 pets. Most of them are rescues I take my children to school in the mornings. I'm usually available after 9am, and even more available after 4pm. Weekends I'm more available for boarding I have the space for whatever needs your dog or cat has. I do have crates available if needed. I enjoy long walks and can use the company.
