Leah R.
“Leah is a great pet caregiver and a true animal lover! She has helped me take care of my 2 dogs and 1 cat for several years. She is smart, responsible, resourceful and really pays attention to the animals and what they want/need. She finds the unique "personality" of each animal and adapts her interactions to fit them--young, old, etc. She also has a lot of knowledge regarding animal care from working both at a vet clinic and a doggie daycare/long term stay. (For example, she is in charge of cutting my 3 animals' nails and is better than me at getting them to take meds!.) She actually did "apprentice" training for several weeks (including getting "checked off" on competency with various skills in managing dogs' needs singly and in groups.) Since her duties at doggie day care included caring for dogs in rather large groups, she is more than qualified to take care of an individual family's pets. I absolutely would trust Leah to care for anyone's animals as if they were her own.”

Laura H.
“Laura will care for your pets like they are her own. It is very rare to meet a pet that doesn't love her. She will play with a clean up after them, and they will be all tuckered out and healthy on your return. My dog loves Laura, and loves to go on adventures with her, whether it be to the back yard or around the neighborhood. My cats also love Laura, and even the most antisocial pet will look forward to her visits.”
Tracee Z.
“Tracee has watched Rocky multiple times and he loves her! She always takes extra time to play and spend time with him after he is walked and fed. He is always super excited to see her and that always makes going out of town and leaving him easier knowing Tracee is taking such good care of him. She goes the extra mile by bringing any packages or mail in that is delivered while I'm away as well. I totally recommend Tracee! Erin M.”
