1. Maelee N.
“Marlee was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and notes. One of my dogs is a rescue and tramatized, she took to Maelee right away. And Maelee was able to get her to take her medication and go to the bathroom. Which is not always easy to do. She took a lot of time with the dogs and was very patient with them”

About: I grew up with multiple pets my whole life, with most being medium to large dogs of various breeds. I have 15 solid years of experience with dogs, some cats, and other animals. I am an animal lover at heart, and I am looking for work to give back and care for animals in the community! I am currently in a transition between jobs and am aiming to work remote in the future. I can fit care into a flexible schedule. I aim to communicate effectively with each client before going forward with a service to best meet their needs and the needs of their pet!

Emily is always my first go-to if I need someone to watch my dog because of the excellent care she gives and I know he will be in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough.”
