18. Arianna T.
About: I’ve always had an animal in my home. When I was younger I had from fish, to snakes, to dogs. Being an animal lover is one of my favorite characteristics of myself! I have a full time job currently but I work 3p-11p. I’m fortunate to have weekends off which makes me available for weekend get always to take care of your fur baby or mid day drop in during the week. Unfortunately I only have a partially fenced in yard but hardwood floors to fit babies who are still in the process of being potty trained especially since I try to avoid being in the crate as much as possible. I potty trained my daughter and a puppy at the same time so patience was a huge virtue I developed.


19. Amanda W.

“Amanda was amazing, kept me posted all the time about Loki and send me pictures of him so I could see how he was doing. He was definitely being loved amd spoiled like if he was home with me. Very glad I found her for Loki's care while I was away.”


20. Michelle J.

“Michelle was a fantastic host for our dog. Our pup is an 80lb, 1.5yr old lab, with tons of energy, and Michelle handled her so well. Our dog had such a great time, got to play with other dogs, and got so much attention during her 10 day stay. Michelle also sent daily updates with photos and videos of our pup. We could not be any more pleased with Michelle’s services. She also offers day care services which we used prior to our stay to see if our dog was a good fit, and she was! Will DEFINITELY use her again!”
