Lisa is a wonderful pet sitter. She took great care of my animals and sent me pictures daily the entire time I was away. She is kind, compassionate and thorough and I know my Scotties and cat Simon, as well as my sister's dog, Rose, were grateful to have her to feed them and play with them. She is also a good communicator and having her sit my babies while I was away gave me tremendous peace of mind.

We had a great meet and greet. Snicks gave his approval. I was out of town for the start and finish of Victoria's sitting session. I left having full trust and confidence that my little best buddy would be taken care of.

We asked Ava to stay with our pup while we were gone a few nights. Her follow-up and contacts were great before and during the visit. We appreciated her care of our pet and our home. Will definitely keep Ava in mind for future needs.

About: I'm type of person that will go to a party and first make friends with dog. My home is perfectly spaced for horsing around yet has many cozy places to take a nap and cuddle. I have a nice fenced yard with shaded spot on the rug and bench for lazy days. There is plastic kiddie pool to cool off in, when sunbathing becomes all too much. Street I live on is pretty private and fun to walk with big yards, plenty of bushes and places to sniff. There is a dog park in the mile proximity. My doggies are 2 goofballs that love to hang out with new friends. They might even insist on sharing a toy or two to win the guest over. All in all, we are a fun bunch to hang with. Pet boarding is a full-time venture for me so I will provide the utmost care and attention to your pet and will do my very best to be available to answer any questions or handle any concerns you may have during your pet's stay. Although I devote much of my time to boarding, please be respectful of the times I have listed below for drop-offs and pick-ups. Times for earliest drop-off and latest pick-up Monday to Thursday: 6am-830pm Friday: 6am-9pm Saturday and Sunday: 9am-830pm Be respectful of the times given. We wake up early on a daily basis and go to bed early as well due to early work and school schedules. Please let us know when you will be arriving. Send us a text upon arrival and we will meet you outside to bring your pet inside. This method will prevent barking from the doggos already here and reduce stress and separation anxiety for your pet. Please bring your pet's food in Ziploc bags with his or her name clearly written on them. If there are medications and/or supplements to be given, please include detailed and clearly written or typed instructions. What you DO NOT need to bring: food bowls water bowls pet beds/blankets toys clothes We provide toys (including indoor, outdoor, plush, toys for chewers, so let us know if your dog has a preference), beds, wipes, brushes, and crates if your pet needs one at night. Apart from our home that is open to your pet, we have an additional house on our property that can accommodate guests. We also have part-time staff who can help on an as-needed basis. Your pet will be free to run around our 1/4 acre backyard that is fully enclosed by a 6 foot fence. We have a large gazebo that provides shade during the hotter days. The backyard is divided into a large grassy area and smaller gravel and concrete sections. Fresh water is provided consistently. Tours of our home will not be granted. We will happily provide you with our Instagram account so you can view the premises and also check out our regular guests having a great time. We do not require a meet-and-greet for the stay, but if you would like to do one, our front porch provides the perfect spot for us to meet. We dedicate the weekends between 9am and 11am to any meet-and-greets you wish to have. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets ! My partner, Hunter, and I both have remote positions so we are home most of the time. We absolutely love taking the pups on mid-day walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. After dinner, everyone gets a dental bone with enzymatic puppy toothpaste to freshen breath and keep cavities at bay!

About: I've taken care of my neighborhoods animals since I was younger. With the dogs, I would walk them, play ball with them in the back yard, to bathing them if they needed it to cuddling them if it was a storm night. Hi guy! I just graduated school, so how pet care fits into my dailey routine is that i’m available majority of the time even holidays! How I would keep your pets safe is when we are going on a walk I would make sure they were leased. And then if I was playing ball with them I would make sure the gates where closed. And then during the night if they stayed in a crate I would make sure I had one.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I respect each pet’s personality and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.

About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.

About: I've taken care of my mother's coworker's elderly Black Lab for a year now and understand the potential needs that a dog may need when necessary. Pet care has always been a daily routine for me and my family. Growing up with countless animals in the house I find that pet care flows naturally into my daily habits. I make sure to handle them gently and with what they find comfortable. I bring life to the animals I spend time with by not only caring for them, but also making sure they are just as happy to see me as I am to see them.

About: I have grown up around animals, such as dogs, cats, and even snakes. Family and friends trust me to watch their babies for them. I have also trained my dogs and pick up after them if they have accidents in the house. I travel for work with my dad, however, we are taking some time off. That leaves me with a bunch of time to watch my fur babies and and yours too! At home, I take the pups on walks and feed/water them. Dogs make messes so I also clean those up and take them on rides if they are good doggies for the day. They also get stimulation, play sessions, and tons of love (of course!).

Nic is amazing! You can really tell she truly loves animals and makes sure your babies are loved and cared for when they are with her! She handled my 3 big babies with ease! They were spoiled with homemade treats and roasted pumpkin! They were sound asleep the whole day after we picked them up, I can tell they had lots of fun. We will definitely use Nic again and highly recommend her!

Amazing! I have never been happier with an in-home sitter. Great with my Dexter! I almost thought he was going to leave with her instead of staying at home. The stay ended up being longer than planned and a Belgian puppy was added to the mix. She had no issues with either modification to booking. Great with both dogs. Very responsive with communication and respectful of personal boundaries. Highly recommend and will be using again!
