“Erinn was amazing with our Prince. She kept us updated with pictures and videos our whole vacation. She also kept our pup active. We knew from the moment we first met that she was a perfect match for us. When we tried to say our goodbyes to Prince he didnt even want to say bye, he just jumped right into the car with Erinn. We will definitely be using Erinn again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Our dog, Molly, had a great time at Mandy's place! Mandy took her on several walks every day and gave her lots of love and attention that all little dogs need. She kept in touch with us each day by sending us lots of cute and funny photos. It's very clear that Mandy loves dogs and really enjoys caring for them. She definitely gets 5 Stars from us!!! ”

About: I have grew up with dogs in my home my whole life. We have had big and small and I have loved caring for all of them! In high school, I dog sat for a golden retriever and black lab who lived in the same family! We played fetch, went in long walks and shared lots of snuggles. When I went onto college, I did dog walking for a while and loved it! I currently have my own puppy who is an 11 month old Mashi named Teddy. I love him more than anything in this world and I know he would love to play with friends! I currently work part time, MWF. I would love to take care of your pets when I am off, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday! I love animals and feel there is nothing better than playing with dogs on my off days! I do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have two runners and a very quiet peaceful neighborhood. I take my puppy on walks and let him roam in the backyard (with supervision) and he loves it!

Thank you for having such expert caregivers that keep our babies both safe and happy! We highly recommend Julie and will definitely use her again.”
“Kate was wonderful. She sent us pictures almost every day. We really felt like our dog, Honey, was on a vacation too. She went on walks and saw some new places. And there is no doubt she got lots of snuggles too. Thanks to Kate we were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Honey was safe and content.”
