“Fran is a wonderful, caring, communicative sitter. She was punctual, sent thorough updates, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt safe and cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet
“My two kitties loved visiting with Reeve!! I felt very comfortable being away from home knowing they were ok. Loved all of the picture updates🫶🏻”
“I cannot say enough good things about Mary. This was the first time I left Daisy and I needed to find the perfect fit. Well, I found her in Mary!! Mary was so understanding of Daisy’s needs and was so in tune. She was calm, gentle and confident. Daisy felt safe with her which is a huge deal as this was the first time without me here!! Mary wrote about every visit, breaking down all the details, with photos and videos too! Mary gave me some great ideas and tips to help Daisy in other ways and I so appreciated her insight and guidance. If I could give Mary 100 stars I would!! What she did for for Daisy was huge!! We absolutely love Mary!!”
“Laura is a fabulous cat sitter. She’s always on time and follows instructions but most of all she truly cares for Mimi and Smoochie. She’s kind, compassionate and patient. I’d give her 10 stars!!!”
“It’s so easy to leave our pets in Jennifer’s care- I know they will be well taken care of which makes it so much easier to be away. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Holly M. is amazing! She is the best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine love her. My dog is initially apprehensive around new people, and Holly knew exactly how to handle it. She is so friendly and easy to work with, and she is reliable, trustworthy and she goes way above and beyond. Lulu can't wait to see her again! I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Brooke was great with our fur babies (all 4). They were well taken care of and appeared to enjoy each of Brooke's visits per photos sent. Would definitely consider booking with her again.”
