2. Tre S.
“We loved Tre! From the minute he pulled into the driveway, we felt comfortable that he would be a great fit to care for our enthusiastic pittie mix. He asked pertinent questions and took detailed notes during the meet and greet. Our dog responded so favorably to him and the became fast friends. We highly recommend him and will definitely be working together in the future.”
3. Elisa H.
“The most amazing experience with Elisa!! She was incredibly awesome with our very shy 2 dogs. She was extremely patient to gain their trust (not easy to do BTW lol) to the point that they even slept with her after getting to know her- that is how good she is! We loved Elisa and definitely will be our -go to- from now on every time we need a doggy sitter. Our girls got a new bestie with Elisa!”

15. Jen P.
About: From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to this area- to marry my awesome husband. Currently I’m working on a book for future nannies and thus can choose when I write. So the dogs get my full attention and are always number 1 when I’m with them. We live in an 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch! Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. I also write various articles about childcare/nannying so this can be done whenever and not take away from my attention to your furry friend. Our home has no place that’s off limits to your pets. If they want to snuggle on our bed or relax on our couch or even be in our guest room - they are more than welcome wherever they are most comfortable. We even have a massive bean bag most animals love thinking it’s a giant dog bed 😂.

17. Nicole M.
“Nicole is the absolute best! She took such good care of our pups (all 4) and sent us daily updates. We can tell the dogs felt loved and cared for. Highly recommend her and we would use Nicole again in a heart beat!”
18. Kacci C.
“Kacci is a wonderful and loving person. She treats everyone very well and is even better towards animals. She takes really good care of her puppies and raves about them to me. It takes a dog mom to know a good dog person and I know Kacci is.”
19. Maura M.
About: Hello my name is Maura! I have two animals. A cat, Cleo and a dog, Harley. I love all animals and will treat your pet like my own! I am currently available part time Wednesday-Sunday for drop-in’s, walks, and house sitting for your pets while I’m in my second year of nursing school! I will treat your pets as my own!
