“Kelsie was the perfect sitter for us! She was extremely professional, our pups loved her, and that was exactly what we were hoping for. She sent photos often, which made us smile and reinforced our decision to work with her. All communication was clear and occurred with perfect frequency.

About: I am a recently retired grandmother who has been taking care of animals for many years. I have a Catahoula and a mixed breed tabby. Animals give me pure joy and now that I’m retired, I would like the opportunity to help other families by taking care of their beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I have grandchildren who mostly live out of town so I will block time off on my calendar that I may be away from home. But because I am retired, I can commit all my time to watching your pet either in-home or if boarding. I will give your pet the same love and attention that I give my own. I will respect your rules and boundaries, but we love lap cuddles sitting on the couch, watching TV with our pets and sleeping with them if they like that kind of thing.

“Pamela went above and beyond in caring for our two dogs and cat. She stuck to their routines flawlessly and followed every request to the letter. Her consistent communication made the whole experience stress free—she sent photos and thorough updates after each visit, keeping us fully in the loop. If you're looking for reliable, compassionate pet care, Pamela is the one to trust. 10/10 would recommend without hesitation!”


“Abby is amazing! We appreciate her so much. We have three dogs and a cat. Two of our dogs are super sweet with everybody, but our black lab/pitty mix is a connoisseur of people. He does not like just anybody. However, he immediately had no trouble with Abby. He was wagging his tail; let her pet him within a few minutes of meeting her for the first time. We requested Abby stay at the house over the weekend; the dogs and cat were cared for and loved all weekend. We can tell that Abby is an animal lover.”



“Lauren is absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. One of my dogs has separation anxiety and fear of people. Lauren was patient with him and won him over. Not to mention there is 2 other dogs and a cat to watch! She did great really put my mind at ease while I was away.”

About: I have always been involved with animals. My dad actually used to have a chameleon breeding business. So at the time our house was pretty much a huge enclosure for them and it was a really awesome experience to be able to be apart of that. Ive loved dogs since i was a kid. I would have a huge attachment to my old dog mojo. Im currently working with with a few friends on landscaping somedays or going solo just cutting neighborhoods lawns. I will be able to make time for this as well. I walk my little dog almost everyday when im at my moms, he’s the only dog I have here. At my dads I have 2 big dogs and one little dog i will usually go on walks and play with them outside
