“Margaret was wonderful with my dog Murphy . He struggled at first to get used to someone new and Margaret stopped in a few times and was very patient and encouraging with him so he would be comfortable with her and they did great together! I highly recommend Margaret ! I am sure Murphy will be happy to see her again the next time we need someone to pet sit !”
“Lee provided an outstanding service and took great care of my 3 furry family members, and our house, while we were in vacation. She stayed as much as needed to take care of them properly, very kind.”
“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”

About: I have taken care of numerous pets for family and friends, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, ferretsand even hermit crabs! Along side this my family has owned dogs since I was 2 years old, and I've done my pest to train and care all of them. I am a part-time worker along with a seasonal school photographer so I have plenty of spare time to help care for your pet's needs! I believe it is beat to care for a pet in their own space. Having their family leave can be stressful enough so I believe it is important to help them feel both safe and cared for.
About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.
“Nicholas was a great sitter! He followed our complicated instructions to a T and made sure to give the dogs lots of exercise. He shared plenty of updates as well so we were never worried about the health and happiness of our pups.”
“Ashely was great! My wife and I would definitely have her watch DiMaggio again. She kept us updated and sent us a picture of him after they got done playing. She made us not have to worry about our old pup!”

I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”
